The Towns Ultimate Success

PEOPLE UNITED AND
PULLING TOGETHER

Judge +. V. Long, ex-Chief
Justice OF the Supreme Court is in
town on business before the Dis
trict Court. Our reporter found
him at breakfast this morning and
by a proper application OF the
pump handle process, secured a
few items of interest.
"What do you think, Judge, of
Tucumcari and It's prospects?"
Tucumcari-as the BOYS ex-
press it's a hummer Iarrived

ed train over the Dawson and went
to the Glenrock where usually

morning | applied for rooms at the
Cover hotel, but was unable to Sc

way Charlie Downs, the efficient
clerk of Judge Mann's Court, is
the only son of an old friend Of
mine at Warsaw, Ind.
Charlie comes from one of the
best families of the Hoosier State
and it is gratifying to me to know
that he is making an excellent
record. Royal Prentice, the court
stenographer, was for many years
employed in the law Office of Long

Yes, Tucumcari is all right.
Its ultimate success is already as
sured. The railroad some years
ago mostly graded to Amarillo will
no doubt be completed which will
give easy access to the Gulf. You
know the future of this region is
to receive heavy freight by the
way of New Orleans, Houston,
Galveston and Gulf coast harbors.
Shipments from New York can now
be made cheaper by water to Gal
weston and thence into Texas and
New Mexico than by all rail over
the trunk lines from eastern cities.
In due time the lines of transport
tation must diverge from interior
points along the lines Of the Rock

Young and middle aged of TODAY
will see this.
lucumcari is beautifully locat-
ed ! n the midst of a healthful, pro-
ductive country, with n wide awake
progressive population.
One important point is, your
people seem united and to all be
pulling together. That is half the
battle. a house divided against
itself cannot stand
Then YOU have a mayor whom
| have known for a quarter of a
century. He is the right man in
the right place, with age and ex-
perlence sufficient to be safe, and
yet with the progressive spirit of a
young man. Tucumcari needs
just that kind OF men at the head
OF municipal affairs to keep things
moving and yet to hold expenses
down and keep out OF debt. Some
people think municipal debt is evil
dence OF progress, but not so.
Hold down expenses and the rate
OF municipal taxation.
What about dry farming?'
For a long time, in common with
most old-timers | was a doubling
Thomas, but events of the last four
years have changed my views.
The entire country is awaken
ing to new possibilities; new and
methods Of farming are be-
ing devised with better results.
Prof. Campbell, father OF the Dry
system lectured at the
Commercial Club in Las Vegas
Saturday night to a large crowd.
He assured us from his own actual
experience as a practical farmer,
that by the use of good methods
that crops may be produced all
the southwest. However, he
is emphatic in saying good farming.
He urged that after every heavy
rain, the ground should be har-
rowed to break the crust and pre-
vent evaporation. The newspa-
pers should publish reliable litera-
ture relating to this subject and
the pastors should give their con.
gregations frequent addresses on
the subject.
Judge, are you an optimist or a
pessimist?"
We'll, | am an ld-fashioned
] effersonian democrat and SO nee
essarily an optimist. 1t was Jef-
ferson's optimism that lead to the
Purchase with it's mag
nificent territory and the opening
of the Mississippi and the Gulf of
Mexico to our commerce. 1t was
the optimism OF James X. Polk
and the statesmen around him that
acquired the grand stretch of coun-
try from the line of eastern Texas
to the Pacific ocean. 1t was 3D.
timism that laid out and promoted
Tucumcari and encouraged the
farmer to cultivate these so-called
arid lands and demonstrate the
possibilities OF the present and fu-

town and country. Every citizen
should place his shoulder to the

settled IN a most unique position enc

could just give UP that hobby Of his ot
getting the boys about him oncs IN q

On a certain memorable trip TO Metrop-

Ills shop was fixed up mainly for hts
own work, experimenting and working
out the things he got Up for the boys.
but he had several extra manual tram
ing benches too in the shop for the
boys to use when he was showing them
some special contrivance which they
wanted to work out right away.
In an adjoining room Jack had his
Office with the usual Office furniture. a
drawing table. ana typewriter, and here
II was he worked out the ideas begun

drawing and writing for publication In
