GOVERNOR CVRRYIS
READY AND WILLING

President Roosevelt is quoted
as saying that he will recommend
single statehood for New Mexico.
One Rough Rider governor has al
ready lost his job by the admission
OF a new state. Does the president
want to jeopardize another2-K Kan
sas City Journal.
Yes, and the present governor of
New Mexico is more than willing
to take his chances. He is per
fectly willing and ready to give up
the territorial governorship pro-
viding the governor OF state sue
ceeds him. The present governor
of New Mexico, and the New Mex.
lean knows whereof it speaks, is
not candidate in any way in the
coming state election should New
Mexico be admitted. However, it
is Governor Curry'S ambition to
secure statehood for the Sunshine
Territory at the earliest possible
moment and he is ready and will
ing to step out of the executive Of
fee of New Mexico just as soon as
statehood can be brought about.
AS far as that is concerned Gov
ernor Curry is not stuck on the Job"
and will have no regrets and shed
no tears at leaving it to make room
for the governor for the state Of
New Mexico. Governor Curry's
paramount ambition is to secure
the creation OF the Sunshine State.
He will do all he can to bring this

TU(UM(ARI CON-
TINUFS TO BUILD
Many Good Houses--Both
Business and Residen-
ces Going Up.
NO B0Oh-,STEADY GROWTH

Tucumcari is making hay while
the sun shines. The winter months
are approaching when the snow
will occasionally fly for few hours
at time, when it will be comfort
able to be on the inside, close to a
stove we'll filled with plenty OF coal.
Many people who are locating in
our city have to build homes in or
der to have them, and others both
homes and business houses, so the
contractors are busy all day every
day to provide these conveniences.
1t is not a boom condition, but a
steady and permanent growth; it is
place to do business and home
to live in that makes the demand.
Following are few OF the num-
ber of buildings now going up here:
S. H. Hancock is building two
story stone, business house. with
a fifty foot front; A. b. Simpson,
two story stone, fifty foot front,
business house; Fowler & Lanigan,
steam laundry, frame, with a fifty
foot front; the J. r. Moore Lum-
Der Company are building one hun
dred feet of lumber sheds; Ed Ell
lis, two frame residences of four
rooms each; Harry McElroy, three
room frame residence; ]. c. Nor
gan, four room frame residence
Emory Brown, 5-room frame resi-
dence; A. s. Arnold, four room

b. Goldenberg, an adobe residence
OF four rooms; Julian Pitts, room
ing house of twenty-six rooms.
There are others, the names o
the builders and class of houses W
have been unable to get. Anyway
this gives one an idea of what i
going on in the builders trade i,
Tucumcari at this time. The yea
