M0UATAINAIR PLANS
SECOND CHAuTlUQUA
The Session This Year VIII Begin
July 10, and Last Two Weeks,
With Some Days for Rest.

Mountainair, n. M, Feb 3.-The
Mountainair Chautauqua will meet
this year on the 18th day of July, and
Will continue two weeks, with Thurs
day and Friday of each week rest
days" 1t is the intention during
these rest days to allow visitors an
opportunity to visit the ruins of La
Cuara, la Grand Quivira, and other
points of interest tributary to this
place, and also allow home folks =
breathing spell in which to rest up.
Last year there were ten consecutive
days three meetings each day. and
the entire program was good Every
body wanted to attend all the meet
ings, and the result was, before the
session was over visitors, as well as
home folks were completely tired out.
n charter has been applied for, and
as soon as the organization is per-
fected, certificates of membership
will be issued to all those who have
sufficient interest in the enterprise to
contribute toward its support. The
work of arranging the program is al
ready under way, and every indica-
tion points to a most interesting meet
ing this year, Prof. j. E. Clark, su-
perlntendent of public instruction,
Will be consulted in the matter of
the program, and an arrangement will
be made whereby teachers from the
different counties may, If they pre-
fer, attend the Chautauqua instead
of county Institutes, the law making
this possible.
The chorus which was organized at
last years meeting has been working
ndustriously ever since, and on the
9Th of February will render the his
torical cantata, Ester, the Beautiful
Queen" This will probably be re-
peated during the Chautauqua. DIFF
ferent committees have been ap-
pointed for the various departments,
and the work is progressing very sat
isfactorily.
There is no prettier place in New
Mexico than Mountainair and no
more desirable spot in which To spend
a vacation, and the teachers espe-
cially will Oe glad to know that they
are allowed the choice of attending
this meeting or their county insti
tute, just as they choose. The inau-
guration of chautauqua in so small
a place was at first considered imprac-
ticable by many and it was a big un-
dertaking, but the success of last
years meeting, together with the
advent of new people since, has in
creased the enthusiasm locally and
there Is no longer any question as to
the success Of the organization

TENNESSEE GOVERNOR
vETOES BILL FOR
PROHIBITION
Says 1t Would Make a Dan.
gerous Precedent and
HumilldteS the
State.
LEGISLATURE WILL
PASS THE BILL AGAIN
The Senate Disregarded His Veto
by a Good Majority and the
Lower House VIII Do
the Same. Il Is
Said.

Nashville Tenn, Feb. 3.-Governor
Patterson today vetoed the bill which
prohibits the manufacture of intoxi-
eating liquors after January 1, 1910
in this state. 1t was a foregone con-
clusion that the governor would veto
the bill and it is also a foregone con-
clusion that the legislature will pass
IL over his veto.
Immediately after the bill had been
vetoed it was broubht up In the Sen
ate and passed over the governors
veto by vote of 20 TO 12. The lower
house Is expected to take similar ac-
ton.
The governors reasons for vetoing
the bill are as follows:
at ruthlessly deprives the state Of
revenue without any sort of CORES
ponding benefit.
'It discriminates against our own
people in favor of the people of
other states
"It destroys the property of citi-
zens without compensation.
1t makes a dangerous precedent.
humiliates Tennessee and lowers Ten
nessee from the place of dignity she
has occupied as one OF the proudest
and most conservative states of the
union.
ut violates the will of the people
as twice expressed by the ballot box,
aftsntls again~t their sense of justice
and under the plea OF civic Righteous
less, sacrifices the grea, moral prin-
ciple of government at the very al
tar where it should be guarded and
defended"
The governor says that If this legis-
lature shall destroy all the distilleries
and breweres, why cannot the next
legislature forbid the raising and
selling of grain or the cultivation of
grapes out of which liquors are made.
II is better not to start for there is
70 end he says.

Zero weather throughout the Da-

Inland Empire is delaying freight
traffic on the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railways, trouble be-
ing experienced in starting the heavy
tranis after Jack Frost has sealed
tight the axle boxes, making the

Brakemen and car repairers in the
yards OF both lines where cars have
been stored solved the problem by
heating the boxes and melting the
ice by the aid of torches and force
pumps.
Agent Piper of the Great Northern
states that there is no difficulty in
handling the freight in the local
yard. For instance. he states. that
all freight received during the night
was cleaned up this forenoon and
that there is no difficulty whatever
in taking care of everything that
comes into the yard here.

To market ADRIAN
TOWNSHIP
VALLEY LAND co.
HAS CONTRACT ON TOWNSHIP
OF LITTLE BURG MIDWAY BE-
TWEEN HERE AND SPOKANE.

Messrs Oliver and Butler of the
Wenatchee Valley Land company, this
week closed a contract for 120 acres
of land, including the Adrian town
site from c. F. Berlet. This town
site is to be placed on the market
shortly after the first of the year.
During the past year considerable
attention has been directed to Adrian
On account of the possibilities of max
ing this quite a railroad center. 1t
is on the main line of the Great
Northern, practically midway between
Wenatchee and Spokane. 1t is the
terminus of the Washington Central
and by June l it will be connected
with the Northern Pacific by branch
line running from Adrian to Connell.
This line is already grade and it is
expected that the rails will be laid
by June / and the road turned over
to the operating department.
Furthermore, Adrian is destined to
be quite an irrigated section. Already
the Adrian Irrigation company has
run a long ditch from little lake
back of Stratford, and will eventually
water from 5000 to 1000 acres of
land About 500 acres adjacent to
the Adrian townsite has been plant
ed to apples. This stock was fur
nished by the Home Nursery COM
pany of Wenatchee and what work
has been done is very thorough Dur
ing the coming spring this company
also plans to put in several hundred
additional acres to fruit trees. Other
irrigation enterprises are in an incipi-
ent stage and it is likely that during
! the coming season there will be sew
eral other projects undertaken there
There is a great wheat country ad
! jacent TO this little town and during
the coming season there will be locat-
ed quite string of warehouses
Every indication points to the fact
| that Adrian will soon become the
commercial center of Grant county
and already there has been consider
able talk of making this place the
permanent county seat of Grant
county.
This townsite was plated last sum
mer by the Prowell Engineering com
pany and after the first of the year
! the Wenatchee Valley Land company
expects to put this plat on sale anG
it is expected that Wenatchee citi-
Zens will take advantage of the op
portunity TO get in on the ground
! floor in this new town.

ENGINEER JACOBS
FAVORABLE
1T Is SAID THAT NOTED RECLA-
FAVOR ON PROJECT TO IRRI-
GATE THE QUINCY FLAT.

Quincy land owners are beginning
to feel as though there is a possibl-
ity of securing water for that big
tract of semi-arid land During the
past several months Engineer JAG
obs, considered one of the best of
the reclamation service engineering
staff, spent several months making
data on the Quincy country and
studying the engineering problems
presented. He is now in Seattle and
last week sent for President Ternent
of the Quincy Valley Water Users
association. and told him to immedi-
ately file on the waters of Pend Or
ellie lake, securing supply of water
The further problems of diverting
the water from that lake onto the
Quincy fiat will be taken up later
1t is understood that Engineer Jacobs
looks with a good deal Of favor on
the possibility of watering the Quincy
country from tnat source. Inc water
will have to be carried some 200
miles. On account of the vast terri
tory TO be watered it is understood
that there is plenty of capital avail
able for this purpose if the engineer
will recommend it. 1t is understood
that President Ternent has already
filed on the water rights on the lake
and made it a matter of record. AS
a result of the work that is being
done by Engineer Jacobs and the lit
tie that has leaked out regarding his
report and his conclusions, the Quincy
people are feeling very jubilant and
there is great prospects Of a Land
boom in that section. The water.
after leaving Pend Oreille, would fol-
lew down the Spokane river and by a
long tunnel would be diverted into
the Grand Coulee and spread onto
the land near Ephrata.
