BIG IMPROVEMENT FOR
LOCAL TELEPHONE SYSTEM

Hon. !. Sparks, chairman Of the
Board Of County Commissioners, and
manager of the local Telephone com.
pany, left yesterday for Denver for the
purpose Of purchasing about 5000 feet
Of lead covered cable for use in the
city.
The Telephone company has decid
ed to install here an all cable system
and dispense with the open wires
This has been found desirable on ac'
count of the occasional winds which
are experienced here and which have
injured the open wire system to Ger
tain extent. The change will improve
the telephone service in this city very
much.
NJ While In Denver Mr.. Sparks will
also purchase supplies for the con
struction Of a line to Estancia and
Lamy.

Colonel Howard H. Belts, of Silver
City, the Republican nominee for the
House of Representatives Of the Thir-
ty-eighth legislative assembly from the
Fifteenth district, composed of Grant
and Luna counties, has been selected
unanimously by the Republicans of the
two counties named.
Few men are more popular through
out the territory than is Mr.. Belts,
and in Grant county where he has re-
sided for the past twenty-five years, as
well as in his district, there is no one
more respected or Of whom better is
thought, and his district will very
likely elect him to the seat for which
he is running by good majority.
If Colonel Belts is elected, Grant
and Luna counties will have valu-
able, competent and patriotic Repub-
lican representative in the House of
the Thirty-eighth legislative assembly.
He was born in Danbury, Conr ecti-
cut, December l. 1866, but as lad he
moved with his parents to Brooklyn,
New York, where he lived and work
ed until 1886, when he came to New
Mexico, settling at Silver City, where
he entered the employ of Morrill, and
company, wholesale grocers.
Prior to coming to this territory he
had remained with one firm, that of
Nichols and company, large wholesale
grocers of Brooklyn, for thirteen
years, rising by steady stages from
the position of general utility boy to
be chief superintendent of one of the
largest departments of the great
business. This he did by dint of sheer
pluck and faithful fidelity and loyalty
to his employers. characteristics
which have always been most marked
Proclamation in his relations with his
associates in business and his consti.
tuents in New Mexico.
In 1887 he embarked in the grocery
business for himself in Silver City,
and in 1897 he was elected city c7erk
of the same town and probably no bet.
ter proof Of his efficiency as a public
servant could be adduced than that he
has retained that position up to the
present time.
He served for three years, as a
member of the Territorial Board of
Penitentiary Commissioners, the
greater part Of that time as it's presi-
dent. For two terms he served as depu.
ty assessor of Grant county and in
September Of 1906, he was appointed
assessor Of the same county by Cover
nor Hagerman, upon the death Of A.
|B. Laird. He was also an aide-de-camp
on the staff of Governor Hagerman
with the rank of Colonel.
Colonel Belts was one of the incor.
porators Of the Silver City, Pinos Al.
