n. +. Stevens, of albuquerque,
Grand Secretary OF the |. o. o. r.
Lodge of New Mexico, spent the
first halt OF the week here organic
ing an |. O. O. F. Lodge. Although
solicited by TuCumcsri for some
months to come for the purpose it
was a difficult matter, in the rush
of business, to get Odd Fellows
together. Many who will Join later.
or as soon as cards can be obtained
from their home lodge, have ex-
pressed a desire to come in. The
charter membership is twenty and
FIVE candidates have applied for
membership by initiation.
The charter members are fol-

The officers elected were as fol-
lows: Levi Beals, N. g.; Lee
Sherwood, V. G.; A. ID. Pankey,
Secretary and S. M. Wharton,
Treasurer. Appointive officers
have not yet been filled.
The regular meeting nights are
Thursday of each week in Masonic
Hall.
The new lodge is starting out
under very favorable circumstances
and aside from a large number of
Odd Fellows who will come in by
card, there should be many ioin
the order by initiation and it is ex.
pected that we will have so to 90
members by the first of next year.
N. E. Stevens, the grand secre-
tary, organized recently a lodge at
Mesa Rodondo with about 20
charter members and many OF these
brothers were in to assist in the
institution OF Tucumcari Nc. IS,
and the News has been requested
on behalf OF our lodge to thank
these brothers for the splendid on
sideration shown us and, to ex-
tend them a strong invitation to
visit at every possible opportunity.
The Grand Secretary is one of
the best informed Odd Fellows in
New Mexico or in the southwest
and it was certainly an intellect
ual treat to hear him in the work.
To a thorough knowledge of Odd
Fellowship he added expression to
its solymnity and made the candi.
date feel that responsibilities had
settled over him he had never
dreamed before. We were fortu-
nate to have such ability with us.

The State of Oklahoma enters the
Union aburdantly qualified to hold
her place in the world. Not only
has she demonstrated the fertility
of her soil in producing large crops
of wheat, rye, cotton, corn, fruit
etc., but her mineral recources of
coal, asphaltum, iron, oil, and nat
ural gas alone would place her in
the front ranks. And her land is
by no means devoted solely to the
commercial aggrandizement of her
people. Some 100000 acres of
excellent land have been set aside
fo- the maintenance of her edu
cationa1 institutions.

Reports of human fatalities in
this falls hunting largely out
number those of previous years.
Up 10 last Saturday 81 deaths were
reported from accidents in hunting.
Besides these reports of mortality
the wounded number SO. In Wis
consin "a men were killed and "a
wounded. In Michigan II were
killed and 10 wounded. In Min
nesota 10 were killed and three
wounded. In other states 20 were
killed and Fl wounded. The casulty
list in Wisconsin and Michigan this
year will discourage deer hunters in
the future, it would seem. For these
two states the largest number of
casualties previous to ribs year
were in 1901 and 1905 when in each
of them II people were killed.

There is every indication that the
subject of financial legislation will
be debated extensively in the com
ing session of congress, in spite of
the fact that Speaker Cannon has
been of the contrary opinion, an
opinion shared by some of the
leaders of the Senate. Many plans
are proposed and suggestions made
as to the currency needs of the
country, but the proposition of a
Federal central bank of issue"
espoused by Senator Hansborough,
a member of the Finance Com
mittee, is considered the most like
ly idea of all, and it is known that
the President looks upon it with
favor. After all it may be that the
Financial Crisis of 1907 will revolu-
tionize the financiss methods of the
government and in it's results may
prove a blessing to the nation.

Southern Railroad Building.

Manufacturers Record.
The South has now 64,035 miles of
railroad, exclusive Of double-track,
sidetrack and terminal Implications.
Since 1880 there have been built in
the South 43,423 miles Of new rail
roads or extensions of existing lines,
the rate Of increase in that period
having been 210 per cent in the south,
against III per cent in the rest of
the country, and the south's added
mileage alone is greater than the
total mileage in the whole country in
1860. The mileage in the south has
been increased during the past 10
years at the rate Of nearly 1000
miles annually, and during the past
five years at the rate of more than
10000 miles annually. The cost Of
this building and these improvements
during the 2G years has approached
a total Of more than $l,750,000, 900.
AS in other parts Of the country, this
invcrtment of cash and the coinci-
dent enterprise Of railroad manage
ments have not been sufficient to meet
the calls of the south for internal
transportation. or to allay the growth
at times of public sentiment, more
often unreasonin@ than reasonable,

be set at an angle, and very greatly

by the solid front. Tt has been csti-
mated that this resistance is not less
than twenty pounds square foot

The gauze does not obstruct the vision
