SOMETHING DOING
Horse Stealing and Genuine Old
Fashioned Hold Up" Takes
Place in Roy.

Our little town is composed of a
class of aw-abiding peaceful citizens,
and are known far and wide for their
hospitality and courteous treatment
to one and all. But there seems to he
some person or persons who seek to
disturb the quiet of our little burg,
and if they are apprehended they will
be summarily dealt with.
Last Monday night VIM. A. Brumage
had his horse hitched in front of Roy
Bros. saloon, calculating to go home
at nine O'Clock. When Mr.. Brumage
started to get his horse, he found
horse, saddle and all gone. He had
some parties out looking for the ma
rauder, but no trace of him has as yet
been found.
Again, on Tuesday night as Fred
Ogden was returning home from the
Office between 10 and II O'Clock he was

Mark Twain on Advertising.

When Mark Twain was editing the
Virginia City Enterprise, writing copy
one day and mining the next, a super
stitious subscriber once wrote and
said he had found spider in his pa
per. Was this good or bad luck?
Twain replied to him in the ANSWERS
to Correspondents" column as follows:
"Old Subscriber; The finding of a
spider in your copy of the Enterprise
was neither good or bad luck. The
spider was merely looking over ou
pages to find out what merchant was
not advertising, so that it could spir
its web across his door in anticipation
of leading a free and undisturbed ex
istence forever after"

Ball In Honor of Miss Cane.

Last Friday evening at Bushke-
vitz Hall dance complimentary to
Miss Beulah cane, of Colmor, was Civ
en- by L. E. Aldredge and Roy Wood.
About fifteen couples were present and
the music furnished by Messers Hanson
Krause and Stanton together with the
smooth floor made the evening pass
all too quickly although the weather
was slightly warm for dancing.
The guests departed for their homes
at late hour, after expressing them
selves as having spent one of the most
enjoyable evenings of the season but
regretting that Miss Canes stay will
be for so short time.

Water Works Meeting

The Roy Water Works Co. held
their meeting in the new Bushkevitz
hall on Wednesday evening, June "a.
The stockholders were nearly all pres
ent. Chairman Goodman called the
meeting to order, and the stockhold-
ers discussed various plans for the
operation of the Roy Water Works
System.
Mr.. Bushkevitz suggested plan,
which was a very good one. He said
that at present the stockholders were
unable to pipe the water into town and
that all that could be done at the
present time would be to put up
large wind mill and storage tank and
make contract with some reliable
person who would agree to furnish the
people of the town with good water
delivered at their houses for 20 cents
per barrel, and take good care of the
water works property, giving a roy
atty of 5 cents on every barrel thus
sold. The secretary of the company
to sell coupon books to people who
would use the water. Also that a
public watering trough be installed in
the center of the town. which is to be
kept filed with water for the frea use
of all outside public who would come
here to trade. The business men
would be taxed in proportion to their
holdings.
Later, VIM. c. Roy, the chairman,
came up to the hall and was called on
for his views on the matter, and he
proposed plan which was the best
one and the original one as was first
proposed.
He is, wiling to pipe the Water in'o
town, but he would rather see two
good men in full charge of the whole
system and do it up in proper style.
He wants to buy up all of the small
stockholders and have full control of
the whole works. The matter was left
on the table for further consideration
of the stockholders, which will be fl.
nally decided at the next regular
meeting next week.

New Field Division.

The Sixth field division of the U. S.
Land office, which now comprises tht
territories of New Mexico and Arizo-
ma. has been divided and a new diyis-
ion created to, be known as the
Twelfth. The new division comprises
the territory of New Mexico while the
Sixth is the territory of Arizona.
Captain F. c.. Dezendorf, present chief
of special agents of the present Sixth
division, has been transferred to
Phoenix, Arizona, the headquarters OF
the new Sixth division, and Leroy O.
Moore, present chief of special agents
of the Oakland, California land Office
will come to Santa Fe as head of the
new Twelfth division. These changes
become effective July l.
Reasons for making this change as
announced by Fred bennett, Commits
sioner of the General Land Office at
Washington, are that the present New
Merico-Arizona division is entirely
too large and too hard to cover from
one office. The expense of looking
after the affairs connected with the
general land Office will be cut down by
reason of dividing the district. The
work has increased very materially IL
this division which makes it impera
tive for additional assistants. These
reasons were submitted to Secretar!
of the Interior James Rudolph Gar
field and met with his approval fol
lowed by an order to proceed.

MAY NOT BE
ALL HARMONY
Opposition is Expected In Some
Quarters to Presidents Policy Of
Forest Preservation.

Washington, May 1.-THE program
which has been adopted for the pro
ceedings of the governors conference
at the White House this week includes
addresses by Judge J. NJ. Carey OF
Cheyenne on the subject of land laws
and by H. A. Jastro, president OF the
American National Livestock associ-
alton on grazing and stock raising.
While harmonious meeting is ex-
pected, 1t is indicated that there will
be organized opposition on the part OF
the governors to plans which the gen.
eral government is adopting in forest
reservations and elsewhere Of collect
ing rentals for use of water power
and rights of way, the contention be-
ing that these utilities should be un.
der the control and for the benefit of
the states.
Cooperation between the federal
and state governments that the best
methods may obtain in developing
and conserving the natural resources
of the country Is the end sought by
President Roosevelt in arranging for
the conference.
Conditions are favorable for many
interesting phases and history-making
possibilities. The scope of the subject
is unlimited; the proposed method Of
dealing with 1t is new and marks a
distinct step forward in the political
methods of the country. Never before
has president conferred with all the
governors of the states; never before
has the White House with its long
record of social and state functions
sheltered large convention called
for the consideration of a great public
issue; never before has the question
of the conversation of the nations
natural resources been made the sub.
ject of consideration by great delib-
erative body. The probability is that
at the least some basis will be laid
for future conservation, for one of the
things which will be shown most fore
IDLY at the conference is that neither
the states nor the federal government
can make satisfactory headway inde.
pendently.
