Butter and Eggs.

'In catering for inaugural visitors
dealer remarked today, 1.-THE butter and
egg market is to be reckoned with. The
egg market has been wild the last week,
prices f1uctuating as the supply increased
or diminished. Butter is positively high
and with practically no chance of getting
cheaper during the next few weeks. while
it is impossible to tell much about the
egg market
Eggs were retailing this morning at
from 30 to 40 cents, most of the dealers
asking the latter price for selected stock
There are no storage eggs on hand to
regulate prices, dealers say, all the Stor-
age stock having been disposed of since
the holidays. and buyers are practically
certain to get fresh stock. One dealer
bought 500 dozen eggs this morning,
thinking the inaugural market will mean
the holding up of prices. but. he said. he
will give his trade the benefit of his deal
should prices go any higher. There are
some dealers who believe eggs will be
cheaper unless the weather conditions
are so bad that haulers cannot ship their
stock.

TO FEED THE CROWDS
Market Dealers Prepare for
Inaugural Visitors.
BIG INCREASE IN OUTPUT
All Supplies High in Price and Apt
to Remain So. :.
FLORISTS EXPECT TO BE BUSY

Throngs.
FLORISTS EXPECT TO BE BUSY

Market dealers are anticipating a big
increase in the output of the necessarics
Of life during the inaugural period. but
they do not expect Il decrease in prices
before that time. There is scarcely any
thing to be found in the markets now
that is considered cheap. While the de-
mand for articles of food will greatly in
crease during the inaugural period. some
dealers say the extra call will be mostly
for rough and cheap products.
Florists in the markets are antici-
pating greatly increased sales. Floral
decorations for the ballroom and the
many private residences where recep-
tions are to be held will tax the local
dealers. and some big orders, 1T Is be-
lieved. will be sent to other cities. Roses
and carnations have been unusually
scarce during the past few days, but
the recent bright weather Is having It's
effects on the growing plants in the
greenhouses, and dealers expect they
will have ample supplies before the inau-
guratiOn. 1t is said that many of the
smaller dealers have already been con-
suited as to the number of Towering
plants they will be able to furnish.
Supply of Marine Products.
Dealers in marine products will prob
ably reap harvest during the inaugural
period if they are able to get supplies
sufficient to fill ali orders. Recent storms
along the coast have greatly interfered
with the fishermen, although they did
not interfere much with the small seines
that are being operated along the lower
Potomac. The supply of fish. oysters and
other products will depend largely on the
weather. Many people will come to the
inauguration who hardly know what 1t
means to get fresh oysters, and many
of them have never seen hard crabs, so
dealers will endeavor to have large sup
plies of both on hand.
No hard crabs have been received here
this season. but a number of the dealers
who make a speciality Of serving them
to the trade, 1t is stated. have been prom
ised shipments from Cape Charles City
and other places in time for the inaugural
trade. Plenty of them are being taken
from the water by the dredges and cooked
and picked and the meat shipped to north
ern markets. Such crab meat Is always
in demand and dealers have plenty of It
OH hand. What they are selling now is
fresh picked meat and not cold storage
stock the meat selling at 80 cents and
the flake at 80 cents quart. The only
other shell fish in demand at this season
is lobster. They find ready sale at 30
cents a pound. Oysters are plentiful,
dealers selling them at 30. 40 and 80
cents a quart. CLAIMS are also plentiful,
selling at II cents dozen or 50 cents
quart.

UNION AND QUAY COUNTIES
DISPUTE OVER NARA VISA
Bill Passes House Whereby Country
Recently Acquired Is Reeeded
Back to Union County
QUAY WILL FIGHT IT IN THE COUNCIL
Politicians Say Il Is But o Bluff on
the Part Of Union County to
Complete Their New Court House

On receiving Intelligence from
Councilman Mechem, that the
lower house OF the legislature had
passed a bill whereby the Nara
Visa portion Of this county should
be receded TO Union county, the
business men Of the city met in
the court house last Wednesday
to adopt measures. II was unani.
mously decided to send a COM
mittee to Santa Fe to assist in
fighting the bill in the council
where it has been hung up"
through the efforts Of Mechem.
w. r. Buchanan and Alex Golden
berg were appointed as the COM
mittee, and the delegates lett the
next morning on their mission.
County commissioner Stubbens,
OF Nara Visa, was present and de-
clared that the people oil his lo-
cality were very much opposed 10
being a part OF Union county and
that they too would do their part
in fighting the passage OF the bill
through the council.
The Hill was passed through the
house on the grounds that Quay
county had tailed to SIS, 900,
part Of the contract which was
made when the territory under dis.
pute became part OF the county.
Under the act OF the legislature OF
1907 Quay was bound TO pay
Union fifteen thousand dollars IN
bonds for the territory acquired.
At the time, however. il would
have been illegal for this county
or any county officer to issue such
bonds because OF the fact that no
county can do SO when their in
debtedness, either floating or bond
ed, is four per cent OF the assessed
valuation.
This county had reached the
tour percent limit and it was not
until last September that the bonds
could have been issued. Other
matters caused some little delay
and the bonds were put off until
the first OF the year.
Local politicians declare that
the matter is not one over which
TO become exercised. They say
that Union county is not so much
concerned about regaining the
territory as about getting the
bonds. They claim that the pass
age OF the bill through the house
was only bluff and that there it
will die. They were little hasty,
however, say the politicians. in
their bluff, because the bonds have
been issued and nothing further
will prevent the good citizens of
Union from continuing in the
erection OF their court house"
There is no doubt in the minds
OF the people OF Quay county that
the bill will die a natural death in
the committee room OF the council.

ORDER MODERN wOODMEN
To Organize Local Camp Here
In the Near Future

Assistant deputy head council
Charles B. Pennington, of the
head camp OF the Modern Wood
men OF America, arrived in this
city, last Wednesday morning ior
the purpose oi organizing a local
camp OF the order. Mr.. Pennington
proceeded to call on all the old
members OF the order who came
from other camps to Tucumcari,
and found that the number of
Woodmen in this city was about
seventy-hve. II is his purpose to
add to these old members the names
OF fifteen or more new applicants
before applying for a charter from
the Grand Camp. He had almost
secured that number after he had
been in the city but a few hours
and it is probable that the charter
will be applied for early next week.
Local Woodmen are very enthus-
iastic over the prospects OF the or
ganization OF camp in Tucumcari
and all are working faithfully to
have the charter secured. That
the chapter will be able to take its
place among the others OF the ter
ritory is a certainty and there is no
fear OF il being weak because 1t is
young one.
Mr.. Pennington's headquarters
are in Albuquerque and he said that
the condition OF the New Mexico
chapters are as strong as any ia
the order. New Mexico was ad-
mitted TO the Jurisdiction OF the
grand lodge at the grand encamp-
ment in Peoria, illinois, last June.
Since that time twenty-five camps
have been organized in this ieiti-
tory and over one thousand new
members have been secured. The
name or the local camp is to be the
"Tucumcari Camp" and the mum.
ber Of II will be on ,he charter

MILLING COMPANIES TO

Propose TO Bulls Mills In Tueumcsri
Which Will Have a Capacity Of
Seventy>iive Barrels a Day
BUSINESS lEAGUt WILL CONSIDER THEM
Will Be Great Advantage In DeveI>
oping the Whea, Industry Of this
County

Two milling companies, both
said TO be responsible and progrcs.
sive, wish to place a Flour Mill
in this city. One Is represented
10y J. l.. Wright, and while Mr..
Wright is not vet ready to make
the name oi his company public,
h, SAYS that II has several mills IN
Oklahoma and that it intends 10
put IN tirst class flour mill here,
ii the city will agree to certain
things. This company proposes
to establish a mill with a capacity
Tor sevrnty.hve barrels OF flower a
day, II the city, or the business
men will furnish building site and
give bonus OF two thousand dol.
lars.
The matter has not vet been act
ed on 10y the commercial club but a
representative OF the News in sound.
ing the individual business men OF
the city, find the majority OF them
opposed to the proposition and the
sentiment is that they Will help "A
good cause but they are not ready
to start anybody in business. On
the other hand there are some who
ar, IN favor OF the proposition and
it is possible that Mr.. Wright will
be able to raise the bonus 10y pTi-
vate subscription.
The other company Is the Alton
Milling Company OF Alton, Illinois.
This company is in correspondence
with NJ. Is. Goldenberg and they
do rot ask Tor a bonus. They on
~ ask that the business men aid
them in the selection OF building
site il it is the candid opinion OF
the men that rucumcari will make
a good point Tor such a mill.
Both companies have practically
the same plans in regard to the
capacity OF the mills and both pro-
pose to import their grain from
Kansas and Oklahoma. This will
be necessary to certain extent,
but with a houer mill in this city
where wheat will soon become one
OF the most profitable crops oi the
county. II has already been de-
monstrated plainly that Quay coun-
" can produce the wheat all right
but so far it has not been raised to
a great extent because oi the lack
OF "A market. Last year about two
thousand acres OF wheat was raised
in the San lon valley and this is
said to be as good as any wheat in
the territory and New Mexico
wheat has on more than one occas-
ion been declared the be I
in the world. II drew the first
prize at both the st. Louis and the
Chicago worlds fair.
Both propositions will be con-
sidered at the next meeting OF the
business mems league and It is
very probable that Tucumcari will
have a flour mill in the not lar off
future

The first meeting OF the Tucum-
carl Ministerial Association which
was organized recently, was held
at the Baptist parsonage last Mon
day morning and great deal OF
business transacted.
The most important feature OF
the proceedings was the appoint
ment OF charity committee. The
committee is composed OF one mem.
her OF every church in the city and
persons who are in position to
keep in touch with the needs OF
charity in Tucumcari.
IL is the duty OF the committee
TO act in conjunction with the city
physician and TO see that those
who require the attention OF char
ity workers S all be attended to.
The charity committee shall also
see that those persons who are al.
ways ever ready to accept OF char
ity to the exclusion OF those who
need it worse, shall only receive
their deserving amount OF help.
Thus a waste OF charity will be
prevented.
The association also adopted a
resolution which heartily endorsed
