MARVELLOUS DISPLAY OF FARM PRODUCE

The value and necessity of an
organization composed of the
business men is being demon
strated daily in the rooms of the
Alamo Business Mems club of
Alamogordo. When this organi-
Zation was first talked of last
spring there were few who said
the club would never amount to
much and would accomplish lit
tie or no direct good. That
these reasons were without
foundation of fact, is now being
demonstrated by the live and
very energetic and successful
club as it is today.
The club rooms on Tenth street
are handsomely furnished, a
large and very interesting exhi-
bit of vegetables, fruit, grains,
etc, has been arranged and TAX
en- altogether the club rooms re-
fleet the interest and effort of
all of the members.
AT almost any hour of the day
one may see interested groups
of visitors in the club rooms,
asking questions, examining eX-
hibits, and getting a full line of
accurate information from Mr..
DeMier, the clubs special repre-
sentative.
One thing of Importance has
already been accomplished in
the way of having uniform and
accurate information given to
those writing for facts about AL
amogordo. One would be great
ly surprised to know Of the vast
number of such letters of in
quiry, which are constantly be-
ing received. II ere t 0 o + e,
replies to these letters have
been left to the procrastinating
methods of the average busy
man, and when answers were
sent the information was natur-
ally incomplete and insufficient.
Under the jurisdiction Of the
Business Mems club, all such
letters of inquiry are now turned
over to Mr.. DeMier, who gives
to each individual letter the
same careful and accurate reply
that it deserves, and in so doing
the club is sending broadcast
favorable and reliable informa-
tion covering the many varied
opportunities of Alamogordo and
vicinity.
The club is constantly having
prepared printed, and illustrated
information gotten up i'll an at
tractive and impressive manner,
and each letter sent out contains
one or more of these pamphlets,
which make excellent advertis-
ing for the purpose intended.
Mr.. DeMier will shortly make
the first trip north for the club,
the object being to intercept the
eXcursionists and interest them
in coming on to Alamogordo, in
place of allowing themselves to
be literally dragged off the train
at,little towns farther up the line
although their tickets i'll nearly
all instances read to Alamogor-
do as the destination.
Another great advantage in
having such information sent
out under the authority of the
club, is the fact that an inter
ested person will give credence
to facts and statements eminat-
ing from this source, whereas
! the same information from indi-
viduals might lead the enquirer

CURRY TALKS FOR STATEHOOD
6s,ernsr Addresses CllIIeRS on NeCes-
silly Of Cooperation.
ONCE SHERIFF OF OTERO COUNTY

Governor George Curry was in
Alamogordo on Monday last, and
while his stay was very limited,
he was here long enough to i'm
press each of us that he is in
deed a man among men, and
person who can do things.
The straightforward and unaf-
fected manner that is his, was
refreshing to see, and no one of
the many who claimed a former
acQuaintanceship was sighted
or forgotten. Each one received
the glad hand and hearty grip of
the governor, and he meant
every word when he would say
Bill, am glad to see you"
The governor did not arrive in
Alamogordo until II 40, and
right after lunch a committee
from the Alamo Business Mems
club accompanied him on a visit
to the blind institute, and upon
the return of the party the gov
ernor gave q short talk in the
club rooms, there being present
large number of the principal
business men and citizens of
Alamogordo.
The governor said in part:
1t gives me great pleasure to
again be among the old friends
and companions who were 50
kind to me as boy and during
the time | was struggling and
didn't have a dollar. When we
wanted Otero county made indie
pendent, | went to Santa Fe and
worked hard for its indepen-
dence, and after it was granted,
| was asked to act as the sheriff
of the new Otero county, as it
was thought | could adjust the
various differences that then eX-
isted, and | trust the mission
that was entrusted to me was
carried out satisfactorily. When
the president asked me to go to
the Philippines, | could hardly
refuse, and for eight years was
busy there. Had any one told
me at that time that dry farming
in Otero county could ever have
attained the Importance it has,
would certainly have been in
cIined to doubt the statement,
unless made by a very good
church member, as my recolec-
ton of Otero county, as | last
saw it, did not include any ideas
Of successful dry farming. When
| was asked to serve as the exec
utive head of New Mexico, | had
my doubts about my ability to
fill the place and carry out the
trust imposed upon me, and l
could not have succeeded at all
had it not been for the kind and
always ready help that everyone
offered me.
when | was east recently,
and saw the president, | remind
ed him that nine years ago he
promised us his help if New Mex
leo ever applied for statehood,
and he stated without qualliica-
ton that he would do any thing
IN his power to see that New
Mexico secured statehood at the
coming session of congress this
winter, or at the very latest, the
short session the following win
ter.
Gentlemen, | can state with
out fear of contradiction, that
New Mexico will secure state
hood at the coming session of con-
gress, and we must all pull to-

DRIVEN To SUICIDE
BY 4 LAWSUIT

When the case of John Center,
against William Maura was called in
Justice of the Peace Golden's court on
the 6th of the month, Maura was
strangling in his little shack at 901
Fifteenth street. Worried until his
reason fed at the prospect of facing
in court a claim of SO rental for the
ground that his humble dwelling occu-
pied. he fastened a strap around his
neck and to a beam above, kicked from
under him the box on which he stood
and cancelled the default Judgment en-
tered against him in the tribunal of
man.
The case against Maura was called
at 2 o'clock on the AFTERNOON of the
9Th. He had been summoned to ap-
pear and defend the suit. Just before
that hour he was seen to enter his
shack and close the door behind him.
Patrolman Silven passed the shack
yesterday afternoon and as he missed
the old man with whom he had often
talked he peered in through the bit
of glass that served for window and
saw the body of the suicide hanging
by the strap.
He broke in the door and cut the
body down; then summoned the Coro-
ner. Since the middle of December
been out of work. He had paid his
ground rental for November and De-
cember, but the demand for January
he could not meet. Then the suit was
filed against him. He gave his life
in payment of the debt.

LONG SPUR TRACK
NOT IN FAVOR

In all likelihood the Board of Super
visors Will refuse to grant the South
ern Pacific Company a permit to lay a
spur track along Bluxome street. from
Fourth to Seventh, at its meeting to-
morrow. Supervisor Rea, chairman of
the street committee, said yesterday
that he was much pleased at the pro-
test filed against the spur track by
Chief Engineer Shaughnessy of the
Fire Department on that ground that
it would interfere with engines re-
spending to fires.
Rea said that the proposed spur
track was of such great length that
the board has virtually determined
that the privilege must be granted by
franchise, under conditions to which
the company would have to subscribe.
The street committee made an auto
mobile trip of inspection to Sixteenth,
Carolina and Harrison streets yester-
day, where applications for spur track
permits had been made. After look
ing over the ground the committee
decided to recommend the granting of
the permits.

SIXTEEN BROKERS APPLY FOR
MEMBERSHIP IN OIL EXCHANGE
Demand Expected TO Cause Re-
yfvaI of stock Activity

Sixteen applications for membership
win be acted on by the California Stock
and OIL Exchange this week. The ex-
PLANTATION Of this is that the large
taking of oil lands in the pro-
cucing districts by syndicates and
corporations and the increased demand
for fuel and refining oils make the bro
kers think that there will be an extern
sion Of operations and a renewal of
speculation in oil shares The appli-
cants for membership in the California
Stock and Oil Exchange are brokers
who are doing business in mining
stocks and other lines. The price of
oil. because of the lack of supplies, has
steadily risen. Fuel oil that brought
80 cents q barrel in San Francisco a
year ago is now held at 81 a barrel.
Oil brokers say that new fields will be
developed and new companies formed,
and there win be lively times in the
Oil Exchange once more.

RAILROAD AGENTS

It was opening day at the Trans
portation Club yesterday, and every
railroad was represented in the new
quarters in the Flood building.

James C. Tice took the visitors around
the room. James w. Adams explained
the working of the electric. lights, and
c. P. Runyon expatiated on the beauty
of the heavy velvet curtains adorned
with the monogram of the club.
There were many calls for a speech
from Alberger, who finally responded
to the popular clamor and said:
This is the only club that has never
left the burned district. We Were
burned out of our quarters at the
Palace; had a wall fall down upon us
when on Mint avenue, which nearly
killed my esteemed friend Harry A
Buck; and then we were turned out
of the next place on Eddy street.
I'VE are. installed here, / hope, for
many years to come. and pretty soon
we will give a housewarming to all
our friends The Transportation Club
intends to introduce may new features
the year.
The Transportation Club was then
declared open. In connection with the
club a restaurant, exclusively for mem
bers, will be set apart in the new cafe
which is to be in the basement of the
building. Carlton c.. Crane, who has
the restaurant, says 1T will be ready
