JAMES John HAGERMAN.

In the death of James John Hager-
man the Pecos Valley and e Mex
leo loses one of their strongest citi-
zens, and one who was, above all
others, instrumental in the develop
ment of the Pecos Valley and Eastern
New Mexico.
MIR. Hagernan was not a pioneer in
the strictest sense. but a developer
of newly opened up countries. He
built the Pecos Valley Lines, now
known as the New Mexico Eastern.
and thus opened TO the great influx of
settlers the Pecos Valley and the
stretch of country lying along the
lines of this road.
The writer has heard Mr.. Hager-
man tell of the difficulties in the way
of the building of this road and its
attendant irrigation canals and res
ervoirS. II was a hard and long
struggle, but was finally achieved and
the result will long stand as a monu-

You make inquiry concerning our
Winter climate You may he sur

by which mean that we have. no reg
ular season of SHOWS and sleet and

OF mud and moist winds. Fog is prac-
tically unknown. Once in a while 1t

II by winter you mean u sea
son of unpleasant weather, l may say
hat 1t sets In some time between
January and March and lasts till

that 1t is hot, n so it is in he sun

step into a comfortable shade and
tote how comfortable you feel. We
have no heatstroke here. My recol-
lection Is that we have had something

IeooMERs, NOT oRuMaLEas.
1t takes boomers to build up q
country, not grumblers. Let's have
a few more boomers and quite q few
less .grumblers- A few words from
a grHmbler will undo the work of
many boosters. The following from
the Jersey City, N. j., Evening Jour
nal, Is not only well worth reading
but well worth acting upon:
In a cen speech Governor
Hughes referred to the constant in
quiry of reception committees and
prominent citizens of how ne liked
their town, and he said 1t had made a
deep impression on him. 1t showed
him that the people had civic pride
and enthusiasm, and his remark is
worthy of consideration.
Good citizens always have a good
word to say for their home town.
They know its good points, and If
there are other p~eculiarities, they do
not present them.
THE grumbler who knows all the
bad features of a town and mentions
them at every opportunity is not only
a poor citizen, but he Is one who does
nothing to improve the town he lives
in. II is good enough to provide a
home for him and perhaps a place OF
business, or an occupation, but that Is
lOISOltcn III lnc SeueIdl uOW Vi COlIl-
plant.
Every resident can do something
for the ,betternent of his town. II
he cannot improve property for lack
of means or ownership. he can al
least keep his own home neat and
clean. He can have a clean yard, a
grass plot or something to add to the
appearance of the place and above
all. he can say a good word for the
place at every opportunity.
"The grumbler should take a triT
| out West and hear the boomers there
talk about their town. 1t may be on
ly a STRING of sAacks and shanties, the
most p~retentious being one story high
with a dashboard front, but the en-,
thusiastic citizen will tell you how
long IL is since the first settler 10
| Gated and how the place is growing
He will point out the places which
have acquired local fame or notoriety
will tell of the prospects, of the things
they are going to have and the room
for expansions. which is bounded by
the horizon. II isn't New York, he
will say. but come back in ten years
and we will show you a town that
won be hurt by comparison with any
| CITY on The footstool.
The visitor can't help smiling. but
he feels that the resident has the
| right spirit. He is doing the things
which will make good in time. And
even in a small community, wiere
all are imbued with the same spirit
| wonders are accomplished.
How UGH better this spirit is thar
that of the grumbler. who is SUI
that his town was the last place made
| and was made of the leavings. How
much better it would be for the grr-n
| bier to examine his home and hi
! place of business to see IL he is no
contributing his bit to make hf
home town look cheap and untidy
If every grumbler should take time I,
clean up his own surroundings tn
town would look better at once ant
the new interest in 1t that would ID
bred of a conscious effort to improve
it, even in a small way. would maxi
the grumbler a better neigAbor and
better Citizen"

Try Norman for Murder.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 15.-Charged
with completely in the murder of Mrs
Mary Skipworth and Walter Johnson,
for which five negroes nave already
died in the electric chair. Mrs. Mary
Taylor, the widow of Isham Taylor.
N of those ele~ctrocuted, will b.
placed on trial today.
Following her trial three young ne
gro boys will be heard for compiler
ty in the murder. The boys. it is
said will throw themselves on the
mercy of the court and a five years
sentence Is predicted for each of
them.
Unless new evidence can be secur-
ed it. is hardly probable that Mary
Taylor a be convicted as having had
a part in the crime. AT the worst
she could hardly be expected TO get
more than a short term in prison.
