The Gerhardt block is still tied
up on account OF lack of material
which the contractors have ordered
weeks ago.
Earl S. Wood, of Denison,
Texas, came in Sunday night from
that place to visit his brother,
Wood, the tailor.
The east end of the MCGEE ad.
dition is filling up rapidly with res
licences. One hardly realizes just
how fast Tucumcari is improving
unless he keeps track of these
things.
The J.. c. Jones building is CO.
ing on towards completion and is
going to be one OF the best lockers
on Second street. Mr.. Jones is a
very enterprising citizen, and is
n among a good number of
boosters for the development of
III town.
Judge K. l.. Patterson and Gus
Mathis returned Tuesday from
Santa Rosalia, Mexico, where
they had been taking the baths for
rheumatism. They are entirely re-
lieved. The boys say the springs
are probably the best in the world,
but that the accommodations are
something fierce. Attorney c. c.
Davidson is still there and improv-
ing very rapidly.

New Designs for Coins.

Philadelphia anuminatiSts have re-
ceived with interest the announce
ment that new designs for United
States coins by the artist August St.
Gaudens, have been accepted by the
government. Three denominations
will be affected, the double eagle.
the eagle and the bronze cent. A
radical change is made in the de-
sign Of the cent, and though the In
dian head was retained it will bear
,little resemblance to the old one
and it is expected to be more charac-
teristic of the head of an American
Indian with real head dress instead
of the present design.
The present Indian head is really
a Caucasion type, the face having
been posed for by a little daughter Of
James M Longacre, the engraver o,
the Philadelphia mint, who designed
the present penny in 1859.
On the diverse of the eagle ant
dougle eagle the head of liberty /!
retained in idealized form. On thu
reverse of the twenty dollar golt
piece which was also designed by Mr.
Longacre in 1S49 is an erect eagle
but of new design.
More radical changes are noted il
the design for the ten dollar golc
coin. While the diverse still show:
the head of liberty, on the reverse i:
a flying eagle closely modelled after
the pattern Of the dollar and hal.
dollars of 1886 and 1898.
Christian Gobrecht, who designed
these cdins, used his model, PETER
the live eagle, known as the min
bird" which having it's home at the
mint in this city, flew all over town
returning each night to roost at the
mint, and which was afterward kill
ed by being caught in the machinery
of the plant.

ARE THE BEST
TIMBER TREES
How the Government Studies Then
for the Benefit of Forest Owners
and the Public.

Timber INC and manufacturers
will be interested in the results of
the detailed studies of commercial
timber trees which he Forest Service
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture is making. These studies are
not confined exclusively to the we'll
known trees of recognized value, but
owing to the rapid decrease in the
supply of ,ou valuable woods, in
clude those cheaper woods whose
properties are impehfectly known.
Such studies of the tupelo gum and
overcome the common prejudice
against these species and have added
materially to their commercial i'm
p%ortance.
Commercial tree studies begin with
the tree in the forest and follow it
all the way to the finished product
lin the market. The intermediate
steps are many and complex, but a
little explanation of them may not
be amiss. since they typify the field
methods of a forest investigation.
The selection of a suitable place
is the first step. In this the aim is
to obtain average conditions as fan
as possible. When the range of the
species to be studied is small, ono
locality may be sufficient, but gen.
orally it is necessary to take at least
two localities, the data from which
if similar, can be thrown together
or, if markedly unlike, kept separ'
ate for different regions within the
range of the species. For example
the yellow poplar, or tulip-tree, has
a very wide range, but a study of its
growth and form would show very
different results in tn North and il
the South.

The Police Court Grind.

Very little doing in police court
this week. Only one case on the tapis
and that was a drunk and disorder
ly' by the name of William Ham
mond. The fellow acquired q good
sized jag, then drifted into a ,'chink''
restaurant on Main street and started
something. The Chinaman wouldn't
stand for the intrusion and had the
fellow arrested. The culprit was
brought up before Judge Joy Thurs
day morning and that magistrate
considered three days work on the

Murdo to Have Saloons.

Murdo, August 10 Because the
town board refused to approve the
bonds Of the saloon keepers whose
bonds the county commissioners of
this (Lyman county, approved, Muir
do has been without saloons since
July L. Under the new law Murdo
is entitled to but two saloons and
there had been four heretofore. 1t
was a matter of interest as to which
would be given the license. The
county commissioners approved the
bonds of Powell & Ellsworth and
Clyde M. Mcdonnell. When it came
to the point when the town board
was to approve the bonds it would
not accept the bonds Of the two
above mentioned saloons unless the
county commissioners approved the
bonds of AL Schrader. The rfshlt
was that on July 1, 1907, all five
saloons closed their doors and re-
manned closed. Mcdonnell finally Sc
secured the approval Of his bonds by
the town board and opened for bust
ness. 1t is thought that the town
will approve the bonds of Powell &
Ellsworth before long.

Dcadwood Guys Are E-z-Marks.

Deadwood, practically isolated
from civilization, is a harvest field
for sharks of all kinds. Having no
connection with the outside world
aside from a telephone line and once
in a while a train over the old Elk
Horn Railroad, the residents of the
Green Front town in the gulch
fall easy prey to the Oldest kind of
graft and fim-iiam games.
The local paper published the fol-
lowing account of how near one of
their e-z-marks came to being
touched" 1t says:
"Old in the lore of the Hills. yet

an oldtime ~prospector, who is we'll

was on his way home from Deadwood
where he just put through a deal for
some claims and received a cash per
cent, and, returning by way of Il
gypsy camp, the fantastic dress OF
the darkskinned women caught his
eye and he determined hat his palm
must be read. Money was jinglins
pleasantly in his jeans and he crossed
the lot to the dirty camp. There was
a smile on the lips of the old man as
he held out a horny hand for the in
spection of the rowing seeress, and
he failed to catch the flash of the

story suggested that the money be

Investigation showed SIS short
and the %prospector was wrathy. The
friend knew how to deal with such
cases for jumping on his horse he
hurried to the camp; of course the
woman denied the charge, but the

Wreck Mt Cottonwood.

The Bad River News says that a
wreck of small proportions occurred
at Cottonwood last Friday. An emp
ty gravel train backed down from
the west at full speed and struck
four empty gravel cars standing on
the main track. Empty cars were
ditched and piled about in true
wreck-like confusion, several being
reduced to kindling wood in the pro.
cess. The tender of the moving train
was thrown from the track and con
siderably smashed up. Aside from the
damage done to the company's prop
erty, a brakeman was seriously in
jured, but the nature and extent OF
his injuries have not yet been re-
ported.
