This man with his friendliness was

natural that he should emerge sudden

about her work, her ambitions and her

There was comfortable, warm little
feeling in the girls heart as she crept
back into her room, the pleasant tingle
that follows talk with some one that
understands. In the plain, staring sun
light of the next morning her expert
ence of the fire escapes seemed very
improbable and absurd, but the men,
ory of it brought gladness that lasted
all day while she worked away at a
story she was writing. 1t was good to
know that there was one friendly soul
in the big lonesome CITY, even If he
were shadowy specter that came out
of the night and had probably van
ished into nothlngness. But In the aft
ernoon when she went to the window
to look out she found an evidence of
the reality of her ghost in white mug
with bunch Of violets In 1t. She
reached out for them greedily and
buried her face in their fragrant
depths. On the handle Of the mug was
card with the words, "For the little
homesick lady Of the fire escape, from
her next door neighbor."
Her heart thumped so that If there
had been any hom?sickness In 1t at
that moment it would surely have spill

One In a Texas Canyon.
NATURES RETREAT FOR THE WILD

The Preserve Near Canyon City
Would he About Fifty Miles Long
by From Five To Ten wide--COn-
sent of State of Texas and Help
From the National Government Are
Needed.
Charles Goodnight noted cattleman
of the Panhandle of Texas, proposes, if
the consent of the Texas state govern
ment and financial aid Of congress be
given. to form an association for the
near Canyon City. of a preserve for
buffalo and other wild animals native
to the southwest and also of ranch
for the propagation of a breed of beef
animal, which he has named "catalo,'
the same being Il cross of the buffalo
and the thoroughbred domestic beef
animal says the Kansas City Star.
The canyon is Il chasm through which
runs Palodura creek, one of the head
waters of Red river, and is about fifty
miles long by from five to ten wide,
1t begins with Il series of preCipiceS,
by which it falls about POO feet and
thence by sharp declivities until its
greatest depth is 1,200 to 1900 feet.
Through the entire distance the little
stream traverses narrow valley, and
all the way on both sides the walls are
oIpnout po-.,nnIicuIor
The valley is fertile land and is Gov
cred with growth of large forest
trees which, wherever it is possible for
them to take root, even climb the rocky
bluffs. These trees are the pecan, the
elm, the blackberry. the walnut, the
sycamore, the cottonwood and the ce-
dar. The cedar attains an enormous
growth and il claimed by scientific
men who have visited the canyon to be
the same as the cedar Of Lebanon of
Scriptural fame. The trees of the
canyon and the bases of the bluffs
which cOnfine it are covered with wild
grapevine, Virginia creeper and other
climbing vegetation. Beneath it all
the creek maanders. sometimes flowing
peacefully. but more often brawling its
way over rocky precipices.
In the bluffs nature has made caves
where bears, wolves, wildcat and pan
ther live, and in crevices smaller fur
animals make their homes. In the
depths of the forest deer and antelope
abound. In the trees song birds build
| their nests, and high up III cragS OF the
| bluffs eagles have their eyries. In the
deeper waters of the creek game fish
abound. and muskrat burrow in the
/ yielding soil. 1t is natures retreat for
| the wild, and to save the native wild
animals from total extinction Mr..
| Goodnight is willing to head move
ment to collect them in pairs or herds
and place them in the canyon for flu
ture preservation.
If the two governments do their part
Mr.. Goodnight offers to give outright
| to the association herd of more than
100 buffalo which he has preserved on
his ranch. This is the only herd of
the American bison in the southwest
where it formerly found winter pasture
in herds of countless thousands. and

THE PRETTIEST TOWN
IN MANY STATES.

The Canyon City baseball team is
made up of players from all over the
state of Texas, and many of them
have played over other states. This
morning they took a vote and decid-
ed tnat Roswell is the prettiest town
they ever saw. Furthermore, they say
they never saw nicer people anywhere
than they have found here Their man
ager, Oscar 1. Smith, of Canyon, said
to a Record man: I'VE are being
treated royalty here and the boys are
certainly pleased with the town. If
we stay much longer l am afraid they
will not want to leave. Last night T.
NJ. Davenport and M. P Tabner took
the team on a ride in Muncy's auto
bus through the farming country, and
it is a revelation to many of them
who have lived either il the plains
country or the cotton and cane belt.
The way the people here handle their
land with irrigation is simply won
derful.''
The last game in Roswell between
the Canyon boys and the Military IA
stitute is being played this afternoon.
1t is possible that Canyon will go to
Artesia for two games.

END OF MINERS TROUBLE
NOT YET IN SIGHT.

Goldfield. New, Apr. 10.-The trou.
BILE between the miners and employ
ers which was supposed to be set
tied when the miners practically re-
pudiated the Industrial Workers of
the World, has come to tt-r surface
again. At a meeting between the of
f1cials of the 1. w. w. and Mine Own
ers' Committee yesterday, the I. w.
w. officers said frankly that if the
miners went back to work they mad
promised to support any boycott de-
clared by the 1. w. w. This is not
satisfactory to the mine owners, who
said the men would be taken back
only when they had severed their
connection with the /. W w. At a
meeting of miners last night the pro-
position of the mine owners was dis
cussed at length, and the miners prac-
tically decided to stand by the I. w.
w. This means That the end of the
trouble is not yet in sight.

ANDREWS CONTEST
HEARING Is CLOSED.
Effort to Show intimidation of Voters
In BernatiIIo County Proves
Dismal Failure. Some
Curious Testimony

In Berna1IlIo County proves
Dismal Failure. Some
Curious Testimony
From Albuquerque Journal, April T.
After sessions extending over a
week, the taking of testimony in the
test case was concluded yesterday af-
ternoon. The hearings have occurred
in the office of w. B. Childers, and
have been of considerable interest.
The effort of counsel for Andrews
in this hearing seems to have been
more in the line of an attempt to show
intimidation by the peoples party
in the recent election than to make
up any defense for the delegate
against the contest instituted by Mr.
Larrazolo. The effort to shown intim
idation has proven a somewhat dismal
failure, for the very good reason that
any intimidation.
counsel for Andrews sought to show
intimidation in several precincts. In
old town the charge was made that
workers were not allowed to get in
side the voting booths. 1t has not
been customary even in Bernalillo
county under the old regime, to allow
workers inside the booths, aside from
the regular challenger, who may stand
at the window. 1t was shown at the
hearing that the Hubbell ticket was
allowed a challenger at the window
in the person of Nestor Montoya, who
filled the position admirably Other
workers who asked to step inside were
not allowed to do so.
In Barelas the Hon. Eslavio Vigil
testified that deputy sheriff follow
ed him around all day Vigil said it
was embarrassing to have the deputy
following him around, and tnat he
couldn't operate his election machin-
cry at all under the eyes of the min
ion of the law.
In two other precincts in which
counsel for Andrews sought to show
it was proved at the hear
ing that practically the entire vote
of the precincts in question had been
cast for Andrews.
The nearing has served to bring out
this fact, that the election in this
last November was the clean
est election ever held in Bernalillo

Worst Block in Town Cleaned.

Street Boss Jim Pinson and his
crew of workers today cleaned the
rear portion of the Record Block, re-
moving al debris and junk, such as
chicken coops, old stoves, and tin
cans. 1t was probably the worst al
ley and back lot in town, at least
there is not more than one worse.
The Record will do its part to keep
one lot of the block clean if the
neighbors, butcher snop, the Reg

store will do likewise.
