spot in all the southwest for the pur.
pose-a beautiful mountain resort with
perfect climate, easily accessible, on
through railway line, yet sufficiently
secluded to offer the best of rest and
recreation. think probably the meet

The celebration here last Saturday
drew the largest crowd ever assembled
in any Of the valley towns, the crowd of
home people being augmented by good
delegations from Mcintosh, Moriarty and
Willard, with representatives from the
various mountain towns, Encino, Lucy,
Carrizozo, Santa Fe, Alamogordo and
Albuquerque The program was carried
out practically as published in the News
last week, affordng constant entertain
ment for all during the entire day.
The addresses by the various speakers
were especially well received. Judge
Mann was in the best Of spirits, his ad-
dress being entertaining aHd instructive,
drawing from the large audience con-
tinusd applause The judge again prov
ed his popularity with all ages and clas-
ses, and with none more than the little
boys when he distributed case
of frecrackers among the Estanca
Youngsters and assisted in touching them
off. Every boy in Estancia would vote
for the Judge tomorrow, if he had a
chance.
The sports were anything but slow:
The fifty yard dash for gentlemen Of
ayolrdupois was won by J. J. Horr, with
Laune a close second. Creed Chjlders
proved himself an adept IN the mastioe
ton of pie, even without the use of his
hands. He won by attending strictly to
the business in hand Tor rather mouth
and not allowing his eyes to watch those
about him. The quater mile dash was
taken by Fords beautiful bay, which has
run in several races in Estancia hereto
fore. The free for-al was taken by
Albert Oliver.
The ball game between Willard anc
Estanca was interesting from the begin
nlng Estancias team had the best o
the Willard boys Throughout the game

best players had accepted tempting Of
fers from Belen to assist them in a gam,

At the meeting of the county com
missoners held in Estanca the first of
the week. it was decided to build a
$500 Jail, as soon as plans can be Sc
cured and the contract let for the
building, using for this purpose the
money on hand in the court house and
Jail fund, of which there is something
less than $4,000. AS soon as
the clerk can prepare the copy plans
will be called for, and after plans have
been accepted by the hoard, bids will be
called for. The necessity for such a
building has been felt for some time
and the money paid to other counties
for keeping of prisoners, would have
gone long way towards paying for
building.
New precincts were created to be
known as Lucy Precinct No.14, Noun
tainair Precinct No. Is and Mcintosh
Precinct No. 16. In the Mountainair
Precinct committee of Chas Burt of
Mountainair, Jose de Jesus Romero
of Puma, Joaquin Sisneros of Abo, Eu-
timeo Luna Of Cienega and Rumaldo
Mirabal of Willard, was named to agree
on the boundary lines dividing the va
rious precincts from which the new pre-
cinct is segregated. MauriceiB. Fuller
was named as Justice of the Peace and
w. NJ. Brown as constable in the pre-
cnt.
Rumaldo Mirabal of Willard appeared
before the board and asked that his IL
quor license be reduced from 5000. to
$l0O. as he claimed that the requisite
number of residents were not to be
