WHAT'S THE USE?

A member of the city council
who has a contract to build the
wooden forms for the sewers sends
the hot message to the Beacon that
he intends to come in and clean out
the Beacon Office. What's the use
of that! With the temperature
prowling around ninety degrees,
what's the use of getting mad and
smashing up a lot of newspaper
furniture and filling up the city
hospitals with the remnants of
editors! Why not keep cool, give
up the city contract, or get out of
the city council and help the Beacon
in its work of cleaning out the
graft in city contracts. That's a
lot better than cleaning out news

There is a new town springing up
in the southeast corner of Quay
county. Two of it's citizens,
Messrs. French and Metcalf, who
are prominent in it's promotion,
were here the first of the week to
take occupation license for bust
nesses they are starting and they
are very sanguine about the future
OF the embryo city. The location
is about half way between Tucum-
carl and Texico, and in a very
beautiful section of our best farm
ing lands. Several other lines of
business are opening, a post Of
flee is applied for, and Mrs. Brady,
for whom the town is named, is to
be the postmistress. Residences
are building rapidly, and these
gentlemen report the arrival of II
families the day they started to
Tucumcari. An auto line is among
the advantages the new city of
Brady is going to have, with Tu-
cumcari the terminus on the north
and Texico on the south and Bra
dy the midway station. Tucumcari
welcomes the advent of this new
neighbor and hopes to cultivate
the most friendly relationship with
Brady people in the future.

The Hog Business.

r. P. Donohoo tells us that he
has over at his farm fourteen head
of pigs which he has contracted at
$1,000 a piece at six weeks old.
That is $4,000 worth of hogs from
two sows and it has cost him
practically nothing to raise the m
Any farmer can do as much and t.
seems to us that nobody who has a
homestead should ever want for
anything when these sources Of
profit are in such easy reach. Corn
and hogs are a good combination
in any country and the more we
have in Quay county the better il
will be for every inhabitant of oul
local commonwealth.

The New Town of Montoya.

lNSh hASSh
porated The Montoya Townsite
and Land Company, which corpo-
ration has for it's object the build
ing up of the new town of Montoya.
The company has recently plat
ted eighty acres of land on the
north side of the Rock Island Rail.
road track into a townsite, and
has already disposed of a number
of lots at a good figure. The new
town is twenty-five miles south
west of Tucumcari, and is more
than thirty-fiye miles distant from
any other town of Importance.
1t is situated near the center of
the beautiful Montoya Valley, one
OF the most fertile as we'll as pic
turesque spots in New Mexico,
trending and winding as it does
through low mountains around the
mesas, it presents a landscape
view that might we'll engage the
attention of a landscape painter.
The valley proper is indeed a
fertile region; there are now many
productive farms in every direction
from the new town, and thousands
of acres of excellent agricultural
land yet open to the homesteader
within a radius of ten miles.
Prior to the coming of the home
seeker, this locality was m of the
greatest grazing districts in east
ern New Mexico, and yet supports
thousands of cattle, sheep and
horses. Northwest from the new
townsite is an immense grazing
area that will always be the home
of the stock man. Its surface is
too irregular for agricultural pur-
poses, and is traversed by numer-
Gus arroyas and canyons that furn-
ish protection from the winter
storms.
The Rock Island has for several
years maintained extensive stock
pens at the place where the new
town is plated, and the place is
already known as a great shipping
point.
Kohn Brothers have the materi-
al on the ground for the erection Of
their new store building and ware
house, which will be n of the
largest establishments in the Ter
ritory. Since the coming of the
actual settler, their patronage has
become so extensive as to make
their present place Of business n
tirely inadequate to accommodate
their trade. Situated as it is at a
considerable distance from any
other comparative trading point
and surrounded by a section of
country adapted to both farming
and stock raising, it's future prog
ress can scarcely be estimated.
We predict that the new town will
number a thousand souls by the
first of next January.
KohnB Brothers, the promoters of
the townsite, are enterprising,
progressive young business men,
and will offer inducements to in
vestors and persons who desire to
engage in business in the new

Didn't Helena wake upP' said Brinkley man as he read of the big indignation meeting held in Helena this week, which resulted in them cleaning cut the political pot cf that city. Continuing he said:
 "Heiena has been one Of the dirti- est towns in all Arkansas, Jonesboro not excepted. for the past several years and I'm glad that the good people of the city are about 10 wake up to their real duty. have often wondered if the good citizens cf Hel- ena really realized just how great g stench their town has been in the putlics nos.ris. The "wide open immortality and the filthy joints that have been allowed in Helena made many shun Helena, as living point The Helena business men may think that the wide open policy of run ming their town has brought them money but I'm sure that it has actually cost them a thousand times as much as they got out of fl. Not cnly that but it was this open disregard fer morality and the laws on the part Of Helena officials which caused the State Legislature to refuse to pass the bill requiring Sunday train into Helena on the Midland. People along the line couldn't afford to have to suffer from the Sunday drunks and debaucheries that would result in the crowds going into Helena on Sunday I'm hoping that the Helena people will continue to clean up their town.

 The orator of the day was lion. M. J. Manning. of Clarendon, a for mer me nber Of Sam ~. Mallory Lodge. Being presented by the Chancellor Commander. he delivered an address which can but be memo rable one to the Knights of Pythias present. as We'll as by all the apprecia- tive hearers. The underlying princi- pies of the changing order of the uni verse of mankind; the things that con- tribute to make up the sum of life's span; the gravity and responsibility Of our complex existence, the nobility of a true, stainless Knighthood ard citi- zenahip; tender rscollections of com raies of other days; tokens of the coming year-these were few of the threads of thought running like gleam- ing gold through the unfolding wsar- ings of his well wrought fabric of ora tory.
