TO the people of Roosevelt county.
as well as to other New Mexico coun-
ties, the proposed change of county
lines in that section of the territory,
, Is or most vital interest, as is evi-
denced by the number of people at
the present time in this city from
Roosevelt and adjoining counties. 1t
is the all-absorbing topic with Roose-
welt county citizens, especially on ac-
count of the fact that the proposed
change in county line will effect the
county. more than anything else. Op-
position to the proposed change is
very bitter, so the opponents to the
new county say, throughout the en-
tire county, great majority of the
people residing within the Limits of
the proposed new county being very
pronounced in their opposition to any
change whatsoever in the county
lines. All the most important towns
in the county have sent delegations to
the Capital City, charged with the
mission of bringing before the mem
bers of the legislature, the position of
fully nine-tenths of the citizens of
Roosevelt county, in this strenuous
opposition. Among those in the city
this week are Judge w. r. McGill Y. !
S. Commissioner at La Lande, Judge
W. B. Gates of Tolar. Judge Hannum
of Melrose, each of these towns being
within the boundaries of the proposed |
new county, J. q. Morrison, Portales, |
County Assessor c. V. Harris of Por |
tales, chairman of the county board of !
commissioners and president of the /
Portales Bank and Trust company, ]. ;,
R. Dornell, editor and proprietor of |
the Elida News and c. e. Hall, u. S.
Commissioner at Elida. In an inter-
view with the New Mexican today,
these gentlemen present some facts
which, when properly considered as
they doubtless will be by the legisla-
ture, will make slow to effect any
changes in the county lines during the
present session. The first and prob
ably the most forcible argument pre-
sented by the anti-divisionists is that
fully nine-tenths of the people effected
are opposed to the measure regardless
Of political affiliation. During the
campaign for the nomination of can
1idate for the legislature, three out OF
he four candidates for the Demo
cratic nomination openly opposed any
change in the Roosevelt county lines.
rhe one coming out for division was
resident and property owner or
Clovis. The division candidate was

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 26.-Heroic ef-
forts are being made to rescue the
victims of two gas explosions in the
Boswell mine. in Somerset county, last

headed by Superintendent G. w. Lo-
gan, entered the mine yesterday after
noon to ascertain the condition of the
interior as a result of a light explos-
ion. While they were inside second
and third explosion occurred tearing
down great quantities of coal, slate
and rock, completely shutting Off all

POSTMASTER WALTER
HAS RE SIGNED
Assistant Attorney General Frank W.
Shearon Recommended for His
Successor.

It was officially announced by the
postoffice department at Washington,
d. c., today, that Postmaster Paul A.
f. Walter, who has held the office for
the past six and half years, has re-
signed the position, owing to the press
of business duties and his appoint
ment by the supreme court to be re-
porter of the decisions Of the court.
The department accepted the resigna
tion with reluctance, as Postmaster
Walters record as a public Ofhclal
was one of the best in the entire ser
vice.
Delegate to Congress w. II. An
drews has recommended Assistant At
torney General Frank w. Shearon to
be Mr.. Walters successor, and the
recommendation Of the delegate is
considered equivalent to appointment.
This action of the delegate is upon
the recommendation OF Governor
Curry, National Committeeman Solo
mon Luna, Territorial Republican
Chairman H. O. Bursum and many 10
cal businessmen and taxpayers.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Shearon,
If appointed, will make competent
and efficient official There were
number of other candidates in the field,
in fact, as many as six of them, but
these, with one exception, have with
drawn in favor of Shearon. The office
pays $2,400 a year, but on July will
go up to $2,500 a year, the receipts OF
the office having doubled during the
term Of Postmaster Walter, during
whose term the free delivery system
was established and many improve
ments in the service brought about.

DIES AS RESULT OF COLLISION.

New York, Jan. 26-There appears
to be little chance of saving the liner
Republic, as she lies at the bottom of
the Atlantic at depth eytimated at
from 30 to As fathoms, in one of the
toughest stretches Of water between
Hatteras and Cape Race. Wreckers
say that an effort to float her would
fool-hardy, and probably no such
effort will be made. Eugine Lynch Of
Boston, who was injured in the col
lision, died today In the hospital. He
was a passenger on the Florida.

an increase in the rate of taxation
upon people who are already over
burdened. Marvellous as has been the
increase in population of the county
as many more substantial business
men and farmers have been deferred
from locating by reason of the already
heavy tax rate and the great floating
Indebtedness. Nothing that can be
done at the present time will do more
towards retarding the growth of the
county, decreasing the present popu-
lation of that part of the territory and
preventing the development of the

Roosevelt county twenty-five miles

anti-divisionists see it, the argument
made by those supporting the divi-
sion idea, that the creation of the new
county will more conveniently locate

the proposed new county seat, is sey.
