Has Out Large
ACr6aQe

Scott Wolfe was up from Will
ard Monday on business. He is
just completing a new office in
the Cutoff town, and will be at
home therein shortly. Mr.. Wolfe
has been one Of the busiest real
estate dealers the past few weeks
in the valley.
Mr.. Wolfe has two patented
claims in the Mestena Draw
which he is bringing into a high
state Of cultivation, and is we'll
satisfied with the returns. On one
of these he has one hundred and
FIVE acres in cultivation, and six
ty acres on the other. On both he
he's substantial cottages of four
and five rooms, with barns and
outbuildings. Among his growing
crops are fifty acres Of fine wheat,
which is as green as a lawn and
promises good yield, He also
has five acres Of alfalfa, which
has a good stand and as good as
could be found anywhere.
His crops this season will be
varied, with a large acreage in
oats and corn. The oats grown in
the valley last year has given
Mr.. Wolfe great encouragement
along this line, and his acreage
will be correspondingly large. A
few more farmers of this illl
would be Of untold benefit to the
valley in general.

some counties last year.

7. Directors must file oath with

public and send them to the
county superintendents, sepa-
rately, by registered mail.
8. Penalty for failing to post

Chapter LV laws of 1901 pro-
vides:
1. Term Of Office of school di-
rector. three years.
9. Election to be held to fill
vacancies.
The term of all directors who
held Office by appointment expire
May 3, 1909; therefore directors
must be elected In such cases. If
the district has been recently
organized and all members of
the board of directors hold office
by appointment, three men must
be elected, one for three years,
one for two years and one for
one year.
There may be some apparent
complication in the matter Of
election this year, but the point
should be kept in mind that this
election must be so planned that
under average conditions only
one director need be elected in
1910, and he for a term of three
years.
Iwould recommend that the
county superintendent carefully
study the conditions in each OF
his districts and notify each
board Of school directors giving
definite directions rs to:
A.Number Of mon to be elected
| B. Length of term Of each.
| C. Form of oath.
D. Form Of ballot.
E. Qualified voters.

Office has already received many

two weeks, with Thursday and
Friday Of each week rest days
II il the intention during these
rest days to allow visitors An
opportunity to visit the ruins Of
La Cuara, La Gran 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.
Everybody wanted to attend al
the meetings, and the result was,
before the session was over,
visitors, as we'll as home folks
were completely tired out.
A charter has been applied for,
and as soon as the organization
is perfected, certificates or men,
bership will be issued to all those
who have sufficient interest in
the enterprise to contribute to.

arranging the program is already
under way, and every indication
points to Z most interesting meet
Ing this year. Prof. J. F. Clark.
Superintendent Of plhlis n.
strustion, will bs consulted in
the matter Of the program, Anf
and an arrangement will b made
whereby teachers from the diff
ferent counties, may, If they
prefer, attend the ChautauQua
instead of county Institutes; the
law making this possible.
The chorus which was or.
ganized at last years meeting
has been working industrisusly
ever since, and on the 9th Of
February will render the his
torical cantata Esther the Beau
tiful Queen. d" This will probably
be repeated during the Chautau-
qua. Different committees have
been appointed for the various
departments, and the work is
progressing very satisfactory.
There is no prettier place in
New Mexico than Mountainair,
and no more desirable spot in
which to spend a vacation, and
the teachers especially will bs
glad to know that they are allowed
the choice Of attending this meet
ing or their county institute, just
as they choose. The Inauguration
of a Chautauqua in 50 small a
place was at irst considered i'm
practicable by many. and it was
a big undertaking, but the sue
cess of last years meeting, TO.
gether with the advent of new
people since, has increased the
enthusiasm locally, and there is
no longer any question as to the
success of the organization.
