When strangers visit Santa Fe and
note the great progress which the city
is making they never fail to note one
of it's main attractions, the Big Store.
Nathan Salmon, the proprietor has
gained a reputation as being amo-@g
the city's best boosters. At no time
does he overlook an opportunity to
say or do something that rebounds
to Santa Fe's credit. When he came
here he started into business on San
Francisco street, little below where
the present store is located. At the
time his capital was very limited and
his store consisted of but one small
room. Through pluck and energy he
gradually succeeded in building up a
trade that constantly necessitated
larger quarters. Salmon possessed a
faculty of pleasing his customers and
once he secured their patronage he
never lost it. In 1906 his business
had increased to such degree that
he was compelled to erect larger
quarters. This he did, erecting the
present business block which is such
a credit to Santa Fe, The store is
modern in every respect and compares
favorably with any in the east.
His many years of activity in The
business world have given Mr.. Salmon
experience that is now invaluable 10
him. He carries as large line of
stock as is carried by any store in
the whole southwest The variety OF
goods carried is always astonishing
and customers seldom fail to find just
what they are looking for. What is
not kept in stock can as a rule be
secured upon reasonable notice as
the Big Store has excellent connec-
tions with eastern houses.
Salmon has built up reputation
as an A / business man and is noted
for the splendid manner in which he
treats his employees. The latter show

CRUSADE AGAINST -
GAMBLING AT ROSWELL
Four Young Men of Prominent Fami
lies Arrested-Saloonkee Sent
to Jail by Judge Pope.

Roswell, N. NJ, Dec. 21.-A sensa-
tional revival of the official crusade
against gambling in Roswell came
Sunday night when following a police
raid on a private residence in East
Roswell four young men belonging to
well known families were arrested on
the charge Of playing the festive game
OF poker for stakes. The raid was en-
tirely surprise and it is alleged that
the young men We're caught with the
goods upon their person. They had
their hearing this afternoon and con-
siderable public interest was taken in
the matter.
Leopold Remanded to Custody.
Another feature of RosWells lid
crusade came mp in the district court
when Judge Pope denied a writ of
habeas corpus in the case of Carl Leo
pold, prominent and wealthy saloon
owner, who pleaded guilty to selling
liquor to minors on December 4, 1907,
and was given a sixty day Jail SEN
tence, which was suspended until
further order from the court Leo
pold was remanded to the custody OF
the sheriff.
In his opinion the court states that
he finds sufficient showing has been
made at this time to warrant issuing
the order of commitment. Leopold's
attorney has given notice of appeal
and will make a fight to secure bond
pending the appeal. The petitioner
for habeas corpus claims that commit
ment at this remote rate is illegal.
Leopold Goes to Jail.
Roswell, n. NJ, Dec 21.--After 9
stubborn legal fight. and five days OF
habeas corpus proceedings by which
| Carl Leopold, capitalist and saloon
owner, sought to escape a Jail sen
tence, he will now have to serve ou
his sixty days sentence. The com
mitment is on suspended sentence
| of two years ago for selling liquor tC
| minors. Judge Pope in this case sus
| tanned his former decision.
