STATEHOOD SHIP LAUNCHED
NOu-PartIsan County Leasue OrsanlIed
at Albuquerque.
OTERO COUNTY SHOULD Be NEXT ON LIST

That the News suggestion last
week of non-partisan Organiza-
tion for the purpose of securing
immediate statehood has been
productive of some good, is re-
llected in the action which was
taken at Albuquerque this week.
A representative gathering OF
business men and citizens of
that city met and formed the
BernalillO county S tat e hoo d
league, which will work without
regard to party lines. In addi-
tion to full set of officers, there
will be an executive committee
appointed by the president, on
which every precinct in the
county will be represented.
The committeeman will act as
delegates to the meetings of the
league, which will be held short
| ly. 1t is stated that Governor
Curry originated the statehood
league idea, and has asked that
every county form such an Organi-
zation to unite the people of
the whole territory. A terri
torial organization is to be
formed later and the county
leagues will cooperate with this
central body. The next meeting
of the Albuquerque league will
be held early in November, at
which time u meeting will be
arranged at which Governor
Curry will be present. The
standard of citizenship of Otero
county is as high, if not higher,
than that of Bernalillo county,
and there can be no sensible
reason advanced why state
hood league should not be i'm
mediately organized in this
county. The News, in good
faith, for the grand cause of
statehood, reiterates its sug-
gestion of last week: That the
chairmen of the county Republi-
can and Democratic committee
lay aside partisan politics fol
the time being, and arrange fol
a strictly non-partisan mass
meeting for the cause of state
= hood" With statehood, New
d Mexico's population would nearly
Il double in a year. Let's wake
y up long enough to get together
l. on this statehood proposition.

Parties Who Are
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1907-02-22

The ambitious and accomplished
young dentists, Doctors Parks &
Hughes, always keeping abreast
with the profession. have added to
their Offices the porcelain material
and process for filing teeth and
making bridgework. This is the
latest and most approved method
adopted by leading dentists in the
larger cities, and il has superseded
gold work in many ways. First
the material, which comes in pow.
dered form, is made in all the
shades of natural teeth. A circular
comb made with points is also fur.
nished, and these points are made
in all the different shades. With
these the powders are matched to
the teeth and the cavities are ac-
cordingly restored in perfect har.
nony with the companion teeth.
This work has not been introduced
here before on account OF the abb
sence of the proper heating facili-
ties. OF course skill is necessary
to the proper utilization of the
method, and it gives us pleasure to
say that both the dentists. DR..
Parks a d DR.. Hughes. arel
thoroughly trained and versed in
the process, having had practical
experience with II, both in and
out OF school. The filings and
work are permanent and much |
more satisfactory in every wayI
than gold work. A prominent
lady of this city has a porce-
lain filing which has stood for
years, and the re-
mainder of the tooth is sound. A
number of patients were in til e
office this week getting porcelain
work, and the test was thorough
and satisfactory. 1t is a process
n which skill in distinguishing
;olors figures largely, and the dem
list who matches his filings best
will find great favor with the public.
These popular gentlemen have
llso improved their offices interior
Y. New furnishings, apparatus,
,aper, paint, etc, have been added
md the rooms are better recognized
s parlors in luxury in neatness.
They are complete.

Of the Hardy Grain Co. decided to

of the company, informs The Com

Humboldt business would not pre-
vent the company from erecting the

be along in the fall of the present
year before they would be able to
complete the Union City mill.
The Hardy Grain Co. is perhaps
one of the strongest concerns finan-
cially in Western Tennessee. They
already operate at this place one
of the largest grain mills in the

Road Law Wanted.

There will be a meeting at the

all agree on the proposition that
taxation and hired labor is the best
means for improving the roads, but
as to the number of commissioners
there is some room for argument.
Some want one at ST, 200 year,
others two at $1,000 year. each.
