THE DEMOCRATIC FUNERAL

The democrats In this toanty are
proceeding illegally in the matter of
appointing delegates to their state con-
vention TO nominate state representa-
tives to their national convention
which nominates their esidential
Candidate. The county central Com
mittee, we understand, has decided TO
ignore the primary law and appoint
the delegates to their slate convention
They have flied no nominations for
the primaries of March 10 and the
democratic county central committee
'fias already appointed their delegates
to represent this county. The laws of
1907, Chapter l39, S 81, Art 3, reads as
follows: Whenever two-tbirds Of the
members of the county central com
mittees of the saDerdI political parties
of any county at a regularly called
meeting decide that there is not u
sufficient contest over the selection of
delegates from such county to the
SbhtC COHf CdilGu w glow aCi
egates to national conventions to
justify the expense of holding county
convention, such county central com
mittees shall have the power to name
the delegates from said county. ="
Notice closely the condition on which
the county centras committees have the
power TO select delegates. II Is doubt
full whether two-thirds of the demo-
cratic county centra! committee even
we're assem em bled and decided In favor OF
suspending the primary. But even If
this were the case, the primary could
not legally be suspended except in
harmony with similar action by the
republicans. The democrats evidently
intend to snap their fingers in the face
OF the law and go ahead with their con-
vention, legal or illegal as the case
may be. 1t is their own funeral and
uoder the circumstances we Know OF no
way of preventing them from supply
ing their own corpse for the obsequies

gists to be an extinct geyser channel,
The National Monument viii embrace
an area of 280 acres.
This cave. which was explored as
late as 1900, has been found to
consist OF series of chambers con
uected by narrow passages with numer-
Gus galleries the walls of which are
encrusted with magif ificent layer Of
caicite crystal. The opening of the
cave Is situated in H I'll Canyon, the
walls of which are high aud pre-
cipitcus.
The surfase of the country in which
the cave is located consists OF high
rolling limestone plateau about 900
feet above sea level. The area is al
most entirely covered by forest of
bull pine, considerable portion Of
which is msrchantabie, while the re-
nainder consists of vigorous young
growth.

AN interesting incident is called to
mind by the death OF Mrs.. Anna
Schneiderheiuze, recorded Ia lasl
weeks COURIER. One Of our ederi,
ladies relates that Mrs. Schneider
heinze told her one time when visiting
her, that she we'll remembered a very
old Indian who used frequently to visit
the SchneiderheinZas in an early day.
This I.dian on more than one occasion
told Mrs Seine iderht inze that he well
remembered when the Missouri river
ran past what is now the western edge
of the city of Elk Point. The shore
marks of the present slough west, south
and southeast Of the city bear every
nd cation, even TO the eye of an anna
teur geologist, that in no very great
distance in the past, they constituted
the banks of the Missouri river 1t is
not unlikely that when Lewis and
G. ark made their memorable trip OF
exploration up the river b little over
century ago, they passed within a
stone throw of the present site of Elk
Point. There is more than tradition
back of the story of the old Indian, but
as the pioneer is rapidly passing it is es-
sential to place on record their obser-
vaiions and recollections

bad and surrounding country. Mr..
Ervieh reports that settlers are com.
ing into the territory In that locality
in great numbers, principally from
Texas. At Monument, east Of the city
of Carlsbad, he found 260 settlers who
had registered and were entitled to
vote this fall. At Knowles, small
town near Monument, 1856 had regis
tered.
North of these two places on what
is known as the Staked Plains, farnil-
les are locating in great numbers.
While there is no water that can be
utilized for irrigation purposes,
the settlers are of the opinion that
they can raise cotton without irriga
tion and will give the country try
He saw no cotton fields as the settle.
ment is recent The land looked very
productive and Mr.. Ervien believes
that with small amount of rainfall
the country will become very produc-
tive. The rainfall in this part Of the
territory has been increasing yearly
and the settlers have great hopes for
the future.
Around Roswell and down the Pc
cos Valley the country looked fine to
Mr.. Ervien. He reports having seen
many fine orchards. The fruit crop
will be good, Judging from the pros
poets this early in the season
