Installing Water Works
System in Tucumca
PEOPLE HAVE MONEY
BANKS ARE ALRIGHT

Sheriff J. A. Street who took
prisoners to Territorial Penitetiary
was interviewed by Editor Santa
Fe New Mexican as follows:
"Tucumcari is constantly and
satisfactorily growing" said Sher-
if Street. Business is increasing
and there is an eastern man now in
Tucumcari who is figuring on the
erection OF large, new and mod
ern hotel which is very much
needed. The cotton gin which is
now being constructed is about
complete and will be in operation
in ten davs. | estimate that there
will be one hundred bales OF cotton
ginned and that next year the cot
ton crop will be greatly increased
in Quay county as experiments
have proven and crops so far rails
ed show thai the cotton is of
very fine quality. This cotton
was raised without irrigation.
INSTALLING wATERwoRKs SYSTEM.
Water works, greatly needed
10y our town, are now being con-
structed Ivy company of which
w. F. Buchanan, president of the
First National bank, is president
and general manager. The com.
pany has taken the matter in hand
has secured franchise and within
three months the town will have a
good supply OF fine pure water.
The water will be pumped from
wells which are situated about one
halt mile from the city and will be
brought into the city and distribut-
ed by pipes and by natural press
ure and gravity as the wells are
much higher than the town loca-
ton. The system will be modern
in every respect. This will fill a
great need as heretofore our water
supply has not been what it should,
especially for the necessities OF
growing community like Tucum-
carl. estimate that we now have
between four ane FIVE thousand
people in the city limits. The
population is constantly growing;
so are our business houses and
mercantile establishments. There
is considerable building going on
as far as residences are concerned

OF the leading industries of our
county and is already profitable,
in fact broom corn is one of the
finest and surest crops in Quay
county.
We have read in eastern papers
concerning the money panic in
New York and other eastern
money centers; as far as we are
concerned, we know noting of it.
Our banks and our bankers, and
especially President Buchanan,
are very conservative and very
careful, hence our banks are in
very good shape. In addition,
our people have plenty of money
which they do not draw out of the
banks and board at home as they
know it is the best for the COM
munity that they have plenty of
money in the banks.
