tribute to the welfare and the hap
piness of the husbandmen that
have built and will continue to
build the palace OF wealth and
plenty in this portion OF the Great
Southwest.
Our future greatness is assured!
No cloud hovers over this Land
OF Sunshine, save the shadow Of
Tucumcari Mountain, and. raising
as she does from the level plain in
solitary grandeur toward the tur-
quoise sky, she is a guide post and
becon light that directs the prairie
schooner and the sturdy emigrant
toward the Western Empire; in
deed we call it the Star oiYEnpire
that has thus far wended it's way
toward the land of the Setting Sun,
and finding here Natures wealth,
has become fixed planet within
whose orbit will grow and develop
the greatest civilization of the
Western Hemisphere.
Thanking you one and all,
friends and strangers alike, for
your presence and contributions to
this festival, | pray that every
pleasure Of the occasion may be
your own.
Several thousand people were on
the grounds at the opening. Little
was done in the morning except
the listing Of the exhibits, stock
and poultry. BY twelve O'Clock the
exhibits were all arranged and the
people were looking on with as
tonishment at the greatest show OF
unirrigated products ever seen in
the Great Southwest. Why, some
OF them would say, that corn is
equal to anything ever saw in
Missouri, Kansas or Iowa. Another,
that is the biggest water melon |
ever saw. Another, sweet po.
tatoes, nine in the hill, who ever
saw such thing" Another, "oats
and cotton, what do you think of
that" Another, did you see that
six-months-old pig, it will beat 200
pounds" So the remarks of pleas

line to the race horses and the

thing. There is a general express

THE TU(UMtARI NEWS EXHIBIT AT FAIR GROUNDS
the BEST ON THE GROUNDS

sometime ago the Tucumcari
News began the collection of an
agricultural exhibit for the pur-
pose OF placing it in the Quay coun-
ty fair. We, with other business
people in the city, offered individ-
ual premiums on various agricul-
tural products delivered in Tucum-
carl on Saturday, September 2Sth.
No premium less than S. was Of
fered on any product except fruits.
The farmers in every section of the
county came in with their wagons
loaded with all sorts of farm prod
ucts, and the exhibit we collected
we believe is the equal of anything
that may be obtained in northeast
New Mexico or in the southwest,
when we consider that everything
we exhibited was grown without
irrigation and and in many in
stances without cultivation.
We held the News exhibit until
the day before the Fair opened and
then placed it in booths to itself on
the grounds. Our object in COL
lecting this exhibit was to show
the farmers of Quay county that
we are at all times ready to Coop
crate with them in forwarding the
general agricultural interests Of
our county. We realize that their
prosperity is ours and that without
them, business would not be so
good.
We will bring this exhibit back
to the News Office and place it here
for the next few months, for the
purpose of continuing the boost
for Quay county agriculture. La
ter, we will collect from this an ex-
hibit which will he forwarded to
John Sebastian, passenger traffic
agent for the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific Railway Company at
Chicago.
We wish to extend our thanks
to all the farmers who aided us in
this collection and to assure them
that at all times we will help them
in anything that a newspaper can
do for their interests. The names
of those leaving exhibits with the
Tucumcari News and the products
they exhibited were as follows:
l.. H. Hitch, Quay, stalks and
ears of Indian corn.
J. A. Johnson, Tucumcari, cot
ton stalk.
Ben c. Hancock, Tucumcari,
Levi Beals, Tucumcari, cotton.

QUAY (OUNTY'S FIRST Annual
FAIR OPENED WEDNESDAY
A Greater Success Than Was Even Imag>
ined by the Most Sanguine.
SEVEN THOUSAND PEOPLE SAW PARADE THURSDAY

Quay County's First Annual Fair
was opened Wednesday with a
short address by the President,
Donald Stewart, and. everything
was Immediately put underway.
Mr.. Stewart spoke as follows
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of the Tucumcari Fair
Association | extend to YOU most
cordial welcome to this the First
Annual Fair held in Quay county.
Tucumcari as the Queen City of
Eastern New Mexico, adorns her
self in holiday attire, and opens
her doors to welcome every per-
son who enters her gates as a guest
Perhaps no community in the
southwest has enjoyed the unpar-
allelled prosperity that has been
the portion allotted by an all-wise
Providence to Tucumcari and
Quay county during the past two
years. Nature has contributed to
their prosperity and welfare as
though both were her special fa-
vorites.
From every part Of the United
States people have abandoned the
ancestral homestead and journeyed
to the fertile valleys and product
i've plains Of Quay county and by
their labors have transformed what
was wild and unbroken prairie
into fertile fields from which
their honest toll has brought forth
the abundant wealth OF agricul-
ture.
1t is altogether fitting and pro-
per that we should pause in the
midst OF business life and devote
ourselves for a time to pleasure
and amusement in commemoration
and exultation OF the bountiful
blessings that we now enjoy, and
in behalf OF the citizens Of Tu-
cupcar; I u,ish tO thanl, tha Eo.r,
ers OF Quay county for contrbut-
ing from the fruits of their toll this
splendid exhibit of agricultural
products. AS you prosper, so will
the business interests of Tucum-
carl prosper, and in the interests
of the commercial enterprises of
Tucumcari,I desire to say that she
is always ready and willing to con-

 nal court, with the result above stated.
 During the course of the trial the at- torneys in the case. City Attorney Boyd for the city and Frank Deedmeyer for the defendant, engaged in some very heated arguments, tlfeir remarks at times becoming rather personal. In making his argument to the Jury Attorney Deedmey- CT severely scored the city administration which had charge of the affairs of Ems ley at the time his client was arrested, and Attorney Boyd did not mince words in his reply. The defendants attorney gave notice that the case would be ap- pealed to the supreme court.
