wonderful improvements are being
made. The town of Roy is well
located for county seat being
near the corner where four coun-
ties intersect.
FAMOUS BELL RANCH DOOMED
Passing on to Solano, we no.
ticed fine new hotel costing at
least $4,000, and surely new
Western blood shows itself in this
enterprising and rapidly growing
town. Entering the Bell Ranch
on the El Paso < Southwestern,
old time scenes come back to one.
Here cattle roam and feed over
one of the largest and finest
ranges for cattle and sheep in
America. This ranch contains
thousands of acres of fine agricul-
'ural land, which, no doubt will
soon be thrown upon the market,
as it is too valuable for grazing
purposes.
Arriving at Tucumcari quite
late, we found it almost impossi-
bic to find place to sleep, the
city being more than full OF peo-
pie who were looking for land.
Tucumcari is bound to be one of
the best cities of New Mexico, and
its natural location will not only
make it a railroad center, but
farming and live stock interests
are the backbone of its great fu-
ture. AT 10 p. m, we left Tucum-
carl over the Automobile line for
Melrose, a distance of seventy-hve
miles. This trip will pay any
prospective investor, newcomer, or
old resident OF New Mexico to
make. Fine crops abound on
both sides and if anyone doubts
that New Mexico is not large
enough and has not resources
enough for single statehood, let
them take this trip and be con.
vinced.
Arriving at Cap Rock, about
half way to melr0se, we stopped
for lunch, Tor as yet, the steep
grade cannot be made with the
auto, SO we transfer to one that
comes out from Melrose. The
first postoffice after leaving Cap
Rock is Hartford, and here water
is a luxury, being some three hum
dred feet deep, but by going south
for some four or FIVE miles, we
reach the Llano Estacado. Fine
land is on all sides and no doubt
these farmers will stay, as they
have the soil and this year plenty
OF rain. We passed through Quay
and on through Roosevelt, the lat
ter place so named on account OF
the large number of children in
the settlement.

SHORT Term
8 PER CENTS
ARE ISSUED

Washington, Nov. 22.--Some of the pro-
posed 500, 900 900 OF per cent short-term
certificates OF Indebtedness have actually
been issued and considerable shipments
Of the certificates made.
The demand has been very brisk, ana
the treasury authorities are highly pleas
ed with the character of the applications
and the nature of the inquiries that have
been made.
1t is believed that the applications al
ready foot up something like $9o,ooo,ooo ex-
elusive Of the SIS, 100000 which are ex-
pected to be taken by the New York syn
dicate.
The inquiries which are being received
at the treasury department from bank
ers who are contemplating SUBSCRIPTIONS
to the certificates have to do largely with
the manner of payment, the issue OF bank
currency on the certificates as security
and the means OF retiring that circula-
ton when necessary. The currency act
passed by congress at the last session
provides for a maximum of retirement.
Secretary Cortelyou expresses himself
as entirely satisfied with the conduct or
the New York banks, and he and the
other treasury officials have several times
commented on the confidence which the
public generally reposes In the national
banks of the country. They feel that this
confidence is justified.
One high treasury Official remarked
that a wrong impression had been Great
ed by the announcement from the office
OF the comptroller OF the currency fort
night ago that no statement would be
given out from that office henceforth In
regard to the failed banks. This an
nouncement the official said. had per-
haps caused some persons to believe that
the situation was worse than IL was

MASSES never so RICH,
SAYS SPEAKER CANNON

Washington, Nov. 22.--speaker Joseph
G.. Cannon of the national house OF rep
resentatives arrived here last evening
and will remain for the coming session of
congress The speaker will confer with
members OF congress as they arrive In
regard TO the organization OF the new
house
Speaker Cannon said he would call at
the White House within a day or two 10
pay his respects TO President Roosevelt.
He took occasion to deny a report that
the president had summoned him to
Washington at this time to discuss finan-
cial legislation.
Many people have in mind that mme-
date legislation should be enacted touch
ing the currency question" said Mr..
Cannon. "and there are almost as many
schemes presented as there are individ-
ever, very few, IL any, who could put in
currency laws that would prove satisfac-
ment or TO the great mass OF the people.
Congress will meet on the second day
of December. and the question of what
legislation is practicable no doubt will be
presented TO both houses. do not care
at this time TO suggest my opinion in de-
tail as 10 what legislation should be en-
acted. prefer to await the recommended
tons OF the president the secretary OF
the treasury and the action Of the appro-
priation committees OF the house.

were so rich as they are today The cot

these products are substantially out OF

bulk of the products In the United States

prices. These products cannot start 20

famine. They will begin to go to the

New York-the great clearing house of
the United States--was the first 10 sus.

addition to this II Will restore confidence
and as 80 per cent OF the business OF the
United States Is done on credit. such re-
storation OF confidence and credit would
at once be equal to twice the whole vol

II am led TO believe that the deposi;

the law, the importation OF gold from Eu-
rope, the rapid increase OF national cur

hearty cooperation of the secretary OF

Des Moines. Ia. Nov. 22.---Gov. Cum
minis took a hand In Davenports widely
advertised Mcfarland Herman prize fight
last evening. and with the aid OF COM
pany OF Iowa National Guards ordered II

more seats had been sold for the occasion
and 1000 people came In special trains
from Chicago and other cities. Yesterday
Gov Cummins satisfied himself that the
fight was not To be a mere scientific

the statute prohibiting prize fights. Late
yesterday afternoon the governor called
out the militia at Davenport and ordered
II to take possession OF the Coliseum.
where the fight was TO take place.
Preliminary matches at Davenport were
carried out under a compromise by which
twas agreed that they sheiid be-feF
points only. The militia remained at the
Coliseum to see that the law was obeyed.
Packie Mcfarland apparently had the
best OF his 15-round go with Kid Herman.
The 18th round found Herman hanging on
as the gong rang. No decision was given.

The larceny charges grew out of the

CRIMSON ELEVEN

tice except Crane The work was secret. a
patrol OF managers and substitutes keep
ing back any over-inquisitive strangers.
The work was said to have been the
fastest and best executed signal drill that
the players have gone through this year.
In the signal practice Starr was at left
end, and although none OF the Harvard
coaches will make any definite statement
as to the fiffff makeup of the team, II Ia
generally believed that If Starr Is In any
kind of shape he will be started at end.
Newhall has recovered so quickly from
the effects of his injury in the Dartmouth
game that in all probability he will be
able to last through the Yale game at
quarterback, In which case Starr will not
be called upon TO play in that position.
1t is a toss-up whether Macdonald or
Brown will start the game az right end.
Burr is in good condition again, and after
his rest yesterday and today will be able
to play his usual strong game on Satur-
day.

bridge for their lectures and VIII go Out

will be little practice today, but some OF
