Playing in iii Luck.

The Continental Oil Co., who
are represented in almost every |
town in New Mexico of any size,
are certainly having their full
share Of fires. Starting in at
Deming some three or four
weeks ago with the awful fire in
which Mr.. J. G. Clark lost his
life, they have had two other
costly blazes in the territory in
rapid succession, one at Carls-
bad, as we mentioned last week,
and the other one at Albuquer-
que, which took place last Fri
day, entailing a loss of $4,000.
No lives were lost at the two
last fires, but several were Sc
verely burned and a number had
narrow escapes when the big
tanks blew up. The question is:
Will there be a raise in the price
of lie" by reason of these fires?
Are you going to build?
| If YOU are, YOU will want
the best of materials at the
very lowest price. Well, we
are the people to figure with;
we can fix you up in short
order and save you money.
Come in and see us.

Oscar Hannerstein and
 Wife are ALobnnions

It is perhaps not very generally known that Oscar Hamerstein, the world wide famous opera manager, is a former Alabamian and that Mrs. Hammerstein is former Montgomer- the state and even in Montgomery that MT and Mrs Hammerstein were mar ried In this city thirty years ago.
 Mrs. Hammerstein was formerly Miss Melvina Jacobi. of Montgomery, a sister of the late MT. E. H. Jacobi, and with her marriage to the then quite unknown and now famous opera man. romance which reads like a story out of a book.
 Mrs. Obendorfer. of New York, for Fiaerlv Miss Hammerstein, sister of Oscar Hammerstein, and Miss Melvina .Iacobi, now Mrs. Hammerstein, were very dear and close friends and through his sister MT. Hammerstein became quite interested in her friend Miss Jacobi, without ever seeing her. A correspondence was begun between him and his sisters chum and later pictures were exchanged between the couple. The epistolary friendship grew and developed into love and in time MT. Hammerstein asked this Mont gomery girl whom he had never seen to be his wife. They became engaged and he saw his bride for the first time on the day when he came to Mont gomery to make her his wife and take her to his home in New York. MT Hammerstein was at the time a wid- over with four sons but he had evil dently not outgrown the youthful TO- mantle tendency as a result of being the father with the responsibility of four sons.
 Mir. and Mrs. Hammerstein have two daughters. One Is Stella Ham merstein. the we'll known soubrette who has been on the stage for more than two years. and the other, Rose is married and living in New York. MT. and Mrs. Hammerstein's home In New York is beautiful one or

Riverside drive and there they are de- lightful host and hostess to their Southern friends.
 Oscar Hammerstein Is a former Ala bamian. He is a native of Selma and before going to New York nearly forty years ago was cigar maker in Selma. He was the inventor of some patent which he put to use in cigar manu- featuring and invented several other things. He was always very musical and after going to New York became quite well known as composer. Through this he became interested in the opera and from that drifted into the thing that led him to becoming one of the best known grand opera man. agers in the world. When he built the Hammerstein Manhattan Opera House in New York, the rival to the Metropolitan. 1t was predicted by the authorities on the subject. that it would be a failure.
 It is well known how far from cor rect the prediction was.
 Mr. Hammerstein's latest achievement is the opera house the cornerstone of which has recently been laid in Phil- adelphia. He has awakened sleepy Philadelphia to the fact that she need ed a permanent opera house and has accomplished the undertaking In a wonderfully short time. It will be opened this winter.
 It is, as Is well known. Hammerstein who brought to America such attrac- tions as Tetrazzini and Mary Garden. It is he who has brought to America the best talent of the world and pre- sents to the American public the new modern operas.
 Of course Hammerstein's roof gar den attractions are well known to the South and made him a prominent per son in theatrical circles before he be- came a grand opera manager. There are booked for Hammerstein's opera houses in New York and Philadelphia forty-two soloists who will appear in both places. while his choruses and orchestras will be permanent in the houses in which they perform.

TIMING THE TIMES.

With the valedictory predictions OF
Gary 'and Gates, who have joined the
army OF sea-bound magnates today,
much talk OF a return TO bumper
business is being stirred up among
the men OF affairs here. II is admit
ted generally in the business district
to-day that the arriyal of record good
times is now only a question OF time,
That Gary has set this in the inn
mediate future and Gates deferred 1t
a year is leading the majority Of COM
mercial ages. to split the difference
and name next fall as the birthday OF
renewed activity With the wings Of
Wall street clipped and high finance
pruned to the stalk, no more sane
conditions have ever existed here
than surround the money world to-
day Plenty OF cash and commerce
will be brought by the next cool
weather, it is generally believed.

THISTLES.

About Is years ago an agricultural
convention as held in this county, at
which notable professor from one
of the Washington colleges was a
guest and contributor. This man in
the course of his rambles about the
city found small nest of Canada
thistles started on Smiths Point, and
plucking one by the roots, took it into
convention and made it the thesis Of
memorable lecture, giving its his
tory technically, and practically, and
warning the people of Clatsop against
it by every argument and demonstra-
tion known to science and the friend
illness OF teacher who found he was
telling his auditors something entire
~ new to them.
The result OF that lecture was noted
for some years by the rarity OF the
Canada thistle, which was routed
out, and kept out, by arduous and
consistant work Lately the course
has re-appeared, and it is headed in
right where he found it, on Smiths
Point; and from there it may be easily
traced all over the west side. The
farmers are again alive to the evil,
but it is going to take something
beside voluntary work in its exter-
mination. The county and city au-
thorities will be justified in taking
instant and comprehensive steps for
its annihilation; and especially at this
season of the year, when it is bloom
ing and the new years growth may
be easily eliminated by vigorous and
thorough action. Like all slow, silent
and insiduous things, the thistle
grows, and travels and spreads at a
pace, and in a volumne, that stag
gers one with realization when it
thrusts itself upon the communal
consciousness. The only way it can
be met, is by constant watching and
periodical onslaught. In default of
this, it soon masters soil and crop
and man and rules all these with re-
lentless power.
Go TO it, everybody.
