Fool Friends Of Hansbroush

A Williams county paper, in giving
the account of the caucus In VIII
ilston. says: Senator HansDrough
won in the caucuses OF Willams
county Saturday, and only one ripple
was raised to mar the pleasure OF the
senior senator's friends, and that was
an unexpected and inopportune reso-
luton offered at the opening OF the
POLLS in the Second ward. The reso-
lution was expressive of the high re-
gard of the people for Senator Hans
brough and called upon the delegates
to exert their best efforts to see that
the Devils Lake statesman was prop
erly recognized The resolution was
defeated. In justice to Senator Hans
brough, however, it must be said tnat
few of his leading supporters mere
knew that such resolution was con
tended. and that if they did they
would not have sanctioned it's intro

Warninq to cIaimhoIders.

McClusky Gazette: Many claim
holders throughout the country have
returned after the winters absence to
resume their residence upon their
claims. Undoubtedly most OF these
left last fall believing that they had
a right to remain away during the
winter. An impression seems to pre-
vail that congress passed a law grant
ing them this privilege. Such a bill
was, in fact, introduced in congress
last year, but failed to become a
law. Settlers who abandon residence
on their claims during the winter do
SO at the risk of losing their home
stead rights, and should bear this IN
mind next fall.

johnson Has Fine Lead

Hon. C. A. johnson, of Minot, seems
to have the lead here as Republican
candidate for governor. Inquiries are
frequently made relative to MT. john
son, and as the people learn more OF
him his strength seems to increase.
There is but little mention of TWltch-
ell, any more than it is considered
that his stock is considerably slump
ing. The balance of the candidates
don't seem to have any apparent op-
position, but there seems TO be
desire on the part of the people to
have as many as possible Of the can
didates visit this community some
time before the primary election.

The Flag Law

Last Sunday evening, Rev. j. S.
Russell in an address to crowded
house, brought out the necessity and
Importance of displaying the United
States flag upon the school building
of our town during school hours.
We agree with Rev. Russell we will
say further that we have a law to that
effect, which really makes it compul-
sorry for the school board to procure
flag for that purpose. We below
quote an extract of the said laww hich
is from session Laws OF 1905 Section
, of Chapter 4S.
"The school directors or board OF
education in the various districts
cities and towns in the territory shall
cause the United States flag to be dis
played upon the public school build
ings or premises therein during school
hours and such boards of school di-
rectors or boards of education shall
also establish rules and regula
tions for the proper care, custody ant
display of the flag; and when, for any
cause it is not displayed it shall be
placed conspiciously in the principa
room of the school building.

Dr.. Gibbs Located Here

DR.. M. d. Gibbs, came in last Sat
urday looking for location to prac-
tice medicine and open drug store.
DR.. Gibbs was formerly resident of
of Colorado but has been citizen
of the Sunshine Territory for six years
past: the last two of which have been
spent at Pennington, San Juan Co.,
which point he left few weeks ago
in search of more growing country.
After visiting number of towns in the
north and east part of N. M. the
Doctor has selected Roy as the place
best suited for his purpose.
We have had the pri yilege of look
ing over the Doctors papers and find
that he is regularly licenced to prac
tice both medicine and pharmacy, also
that he is a member in good standing
of the New Mexico and American
Medical Association and that he has
letters of recommendation from some
of the leading physicians of the Terri
tory showing that he is a man of
ability and integrity. Wetake pleasure
IN welcoming DR.. Glib as a citizen
of our town and assure him that he
has made no mistake in becoming an
inhabitant of our growing city.

Free Seed Wheat
For Needy Farmers.

Washington Sept, = Delegate w.
H. Andrews called on the Secretary
of Agriculture and requested that
some seed wheat be furnished to those
farmers in Roosevelt county who have
suffered from the drouth. The secre-
tary stated that upon the recomenda-
ton of Governor Curry and Delegate
Andrews he hoped he would be able
to furnish 5000 bushels of seed wheat
to farmers in need.
We believe that ifsome of our farm
ers who lost their seed in the drouth
during April, May, June and July
would write to the Governor and Del
egate Andrews, they would probably
get some of that wheat for This sec
tion of the country.

audience on the subject 'Public

mons are logical and philosophical,
clear in their views, ard impress the
audience and eels their attention
throughout his discourse. He may be
termed the "Silver Tongue Orator.;
we have heard many speakers but
know of none who can surpass Rev.
Russell. He is a person of great in
telligence, thoroughly posted on all
matters both local and foreign, and
able to quote good authorities in sub
stantiating his points of argument.
1t is pleasure to hear him speak on
any subject and Roy should be proud
of being able to listen to an ''up. to-
date" orator.

Roy Needs A High School

The Board of School Directors
should take steps to build new two
story four room school building to be
used by the grades and convert the
present school building into high
school.
This can easily be done by. voting
$500 90 worth of new bonds; $4,000. 90
of it to be used for the new building
and S25O0.0O to be used in improving
the old building and beautifying the
grounds. The total bond indebtiness
would then be 100000 which could
be easily paid in ten years, as the
Railway Co., will add greatly toward
the payment of these bonds; in fact
they will pay three-fourths of the total
indebtedness Preparations should ihei
fore be made to vote this bond issue
at the next election of the school board

REASONS OF 0CTAvlAN0 AGUSTIN0
lARRAZ0LA'S DEFEAT IN
NOVEMBER

First-Andrews is we'll known in the
Capitol and has all kinds of friends.
Larrazola, has none, the first mention
of his name would be hard to grasp
by any of the members of the house
Of representatives, it would require
time and study to get that right.
Second Andrews is now well known
all over the territory, the people know
his ability and qualification 10 do
things. Larrazola is a perfect failure
he never has done any good for him
self much less for his own people.
Third-Andrews election will get us
statehood; Larazolas election will set
US back ten years which means that
we will remain helpless that much
longer, with no voice in Presidential
election and territorial matters.
ourth-Andrews today is the
strongest man in the territory, this
reputation he has won by getting
things for the people of New Mexico.
He obtained for old veterans $400, 600
annual pensions and $500, 600 for pub
lie buildings, he obtained 100000 for
Irrigation congress, he obtained for
the public schools of this territory
over $40 900, 600 worth of land, by the
Land Lieu Bill. Mr.. Larrazola, does
not tell of all these things in his
campaign.
Fifth Andrews lost Bernalillocoun-
ty about 1000 votes two years ago,
now he will carry it almost solid, as
even those who supported Larrazola
are now for Andrews. The Albuquer-
que Sun, one of the largest Democratic
dailies published in the largest cities
in New Mexico, is supporting Andrews
reelection. Larrazola for the third
time will go down into defeat with
the Presidential candidate VIM, j,
Bryan. Larrazola is like dish O.
food warmed over once too often.
Sixth-Andrews is bound to be the
next Delegate to Congress because the
new comers wait statelCtd arc
the only way to get it is to sent
Andrews back to Washington. The!
are very much disgusted with fah'
promises of the Democrats and tiret
of the territorial form of governmen
in its present conditions. Two years
ago these people had no voice in An
drews election and there are owe
10, 900 more new votes this election
than that of the past. Andrews will
win by the greatest majority eve
given a delegate to congress in NeN
! Mexico and he will not only get tn
solid vote of the entire Republical
party, he will be supported by one
forth of the democrats. Two year
, ago Larazola created quite sympath
i among his native voters and manag
| ed to get thousand of votes from nativ
J Republicans who did not vote TO
g Andrews because he was "Gringo'
e Larrazola managed to get that vot
d because he was a Mexican AID toda
there are few who will vote for hin
simply because he is Mexican.

A GREATER ROY
ROY DESTINED TO BECOME THE
BEST TOWN ON THE DAW-
SON RAILWAY

Roy is on the verge of a great boom
it is destined to become one of the
most prosperous towns in northeast
ern New Mexico, it has a splendid
future in the store of great things.
The town of Roy did not spring up
with the income of immigration of
last year like other towns did along
the main line of the Rock Island Rail
way, it was established fiveyea prior
to the coming of the present immigra-
ton movement and managed to pad
die itsway through the path of growth
and development. The town and its
people prospered and now that the
filler of the soil has come and shown
us that we can raise as good crops
as are raised in the states of farming
reputation, something grander and
more surprising stares us in the face
of our future.
The time is not very distant when
we shall see the prairies which were
heretofore covered with large herds
of buffalo, cattle, sheep, and horses,
owned by eastern capitalists, con-
verted into a garden spot made beau
tiful by the hands and skillful brains
of the tillers of the soil. Over one
thousand of homeseekers from all
parts of this great country OF ours
have come here and established their
future homes with hopes and promis-
es of great reward, during the past
wear. We want class of farmers
that have the necessary qualifications
to make out of New Mexico country
as great if not greater than Kansas.
There has never been new country
that has not experienced its ups and
downs, the beginning is always a
hard one.
Roy today has bright outlook fol
a complete water works system which
is now in the course of construction
lacking only the laying of pipe line
in the streets and alleys OF town. L
is an assured fact that a broom fac
tory will be builded here in the spring
to consume the broom corn raised
here. Concrete block works will be
put up by several of the leading busl
ness men of hetown, early nextsprlns
if financial conditions are better b.!
that time: as we'll as a local telephone
which will connect with the long dis
tant lines.
The prospects of making Roy tn
county seat of new county are yer!
GOOD. which will make it the busines
center in thirty mile radius. Ais
another school building will soon b
constructed which very likely will b
on the west side. All these thing
are points of evidence which lead u
to have entire faith in the future an
of greater Roy.
No one will make mistake by II
vesting in town lots in Roy, as tn
town is built on a solid foundation
abe surrounding country is made upt
aclass'ofenergetic, hustlingpeo VIII
are here to make this their home; thu
with its well established business firm
and with it's good educational facll
ties and we'll founded business house
it is bound to become the best Tow
on the Dawson Railway.
