Big Shops at Clovis.

Since the burning Of the
Santa Fe shops at Am lrillo,
it has been determined not to
rebuild there but to make the
shops at Clovis larger. 1t is
the intention of the Santa Fe
to build a line from Clovis TO
Weatherford, Texas, in order
to get short line from the
Gulf to the Pacific coast and
when this line is completed
Clovis will be the end OF di-
visions on the Santa Fe in
four directions. twill be the
end of the Pecos valley line,
and the end Of the line from
the gulf to the main line from
Chibago to the coast and the
end Of divisions on the East
ern railway of New Mexico.
The shops of the Santa Fe at
Clovis will be among the larg-
gest railroad shops west of the
Mississippi.
1t was believed at one time
that big shops would be built
at Belen. but the shops at AL
buquerque, being only 81
miles distant, the Santa Fe
officials decided to build big
shops at Clovis in order to
handle the work from the
Texas line and the Eastern
railway in the same plant. 1t
is not likely that shops of any
importance will be construct
ed at Belen. Santa F e Eagle,

man Fay. a local character
known by all as Gil, went to
the general store in Fayvllle,
Mass kept 1T that time by
Colonel Dexter Fay. to make
his purchases. The amount
was 6S cents, and Fay tender
ed the clerk a ten dollar bill.
Change beng scarce in the
store, as was often the case
during those strenuous times,
the clerk passed him some
slips If paper with figures on
them to equal the amount OF
change due. Gil looked at
the change and then at the
clerk and slowly said, What's
all this?'
why, that is what we are
giving for change now. When
you get a dollars worth we
will redeem them, replied the
clerk, and Gil went out.
A day or two later Gil went
to the store again for some
tobacco. The clerk passed
out the plug, and Gil put his
hand in his pocket and pulled
out a handful of pumpkin
seeds and handed them to the
clerk, saying:
IT hese are what / am using
for change now. When you
get a dollars worth | will re-
deell them. Scrap Book.

New Election Law Needed.

what The Pecos Valley Ten
icrfoot. VIII Robinson, deems
as advisable for New Mexico
to have in the way of an elec-
ion law which viii maintain
Justice at the polls:
First every man should be
required to register himself in
person, and if he didn't take
enough interest in COVER :
ment to do that he should not
be allowed to vote. ] hen
when he registers he should be
required to then and there
paw his poll tax, paying the
amount himself, the pay ment
of this most righteous OF a !
taxes being an absolute essen
tial to suffrage. Then at vot-
ing time there should Be the
full Australian ballot law, with
all Of the tic .etsprinted onone
sheet, every copy Of which
should be held in the hands OF
the election board and passed
to the voter as he comes in to
be marked as he pleases in the
privacy of the booths, and de-
posted by his own hand. 1t
should be made a penitentlary
ofense to seek to influence
mans vote in any way what
ever. Every candidate should
be compelled to publish a
statement under oath of every
dollar he has spent inthe cam
paign, and what for, and if one
cent of it has gone for any
form of corruption the office
5 ould be given to the next
lowest candidate who shows
md proves clean score.
Then after these things are
to there should be
adopted a form OF the Illinois

ion. by which the minority
party shall have one represen-
