GOOD CONDITIONS

w. D. M'Bee, Democratic Candidate
For Legislative Council, VIII Make
Active Campaign.

w. D. McBee, one of the successful
lawyers OF Roosevelt county, spent
yesterday in the city from his home
at Melrose on legal business and to
attend the sessions of the Bar Associ-
alton. Mr. McBee is the Democratic
nominee for the councilmanic district
composed of Chaves, Roosevelt and
Eddy counties and is pretty sure of
election. He is a bright young man,
having come to Melrose five years
ago, being one of the early settlers
there, where he has practiced law ev-
er since.
Mr.. McBee states that while the
spring and early summer were dry,
rains have fallen of late in abundance
and agricultural conditions are in fine
shape. Good crops of kaffir corn, milo
maize, corn and garden truck will be
the result and in many cases fifteen
bushels of clean wheat per acre have
been gathered already. Live stock is
in fine condition and prices are run.
ming higher, especially for steers.
For few months past there was a
lull in immigration which has ceased
now and more immigrants and settlers
are coming in steadily. Many of the
homesteaders are putting UP substan
tial houses and building fences The
settlers are very good class Of sens
ible, hardworking and sturdy people
who came to New Mexico to make per
manent homes.
MIR. McBee states that Melrose is
growing and improvements are the
order of lhe day. Four hundred eighty
feet Of brick sidewalks have just been
finished and number of substantial
buildings are in course of erection.
Mr.. McBee expects, although he
feels that the district is assured fol
him, to make a strong campaign fol
as many Democratic votes in his dis
trict as he can succeed in corraling.
