NEW MEXICO
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Eastern Paper Are Giving avorable
Notices to the Territory and Mark
ing Its Healthy Progressiveness
With Great Interest.

The following item of interest to
this territory appeared in the Newark,
Ohio, Tribune. 1t shows that New
Mexico is in the public eye and that
many people are coming out his way.
Excursion January 5th.
Owing to an unexpected business
engagement it has become necessary
to postpone the New Mexico eXcur-
sion for December Is until Tuesday,
January 5. January is an ideal time
to visit New Mexico, the land of op-
portunity for the investor or home
seeker, and the terms upon which
Licking county people may take this
trip on January should not be over
looked. The party will make but one
change'of trains, and that at Chicago.
The round trip fare is $41.25, and this
money will be refunded to all buyers
of land.
1t will pay any one who has little
money for investment or anyone who
is seeking a place for personal actlv-
ity to go to New Mexico, and see what
John Tucker has to offer. The prices
of this land are right and terms are
easy. The land is very productive, IS
located near the Santa Fe railway, and
it is growing in value. One can't miss
it by buying at present prices. For
full information regarding New Mex
leo lands and further details OF the
January excursion, address John
Tucker, II 1-2 East Main street, New
ark, Ohio.
Also Baltimore.
The Baltimore, Maryland Sun also
has it's eye on New Mexico, publish
ing recently the following item:
450,000 In New Mexico.
"We have a wide-awake, progress
sive, industrious and intelligent popu-
lation and we want to be treated like
men," says Governor George Curry, of
New Mexico, in an appeal for state
hood for his territory.
Governor Curry says New Mexico S
credit is excellent; that no strikes mar
the record of it's industries; the. laws
enacted by it's legislature are good /;
gambling is prohibited, and the Sun
day-closing-law vigorously enforced
So he concludes that New Mexico de-
serves statehood.
The governor says the population is
more than 100000 and that there is
more than $500, 100000 worth of prop.
erty in New Mexico, in addition to its
coal, timber and fertile lands.

Is PROMINENT OFFICIAL
n. n. Harris, Chief Occupancy for the
Third District Of tile Forestry
Service Succumks in AIEu-
querque Sanitarium.

Albuquerque. n. NJ, Jan. 5.-Hugi
! Fl. Harris, chief occupancy for the
third district Of the United States
| forestry service. and for the pas;
three years a citizen of New Mexico
died at o'clock yesterday afternoon
in st. Joseph's sanitarum after 4 Ions
and brave struggle against tuber
cuoSis.
Two sisters, Mrs. ]. ". Carter and
Miss Harris. of Chihuahua, Mexico
were with him at the end, having
been warned some days ago that death
was very near. The remains will be
taken this morning to the family home
at Atlanta, Ga, where the funeral
service will occur.
Although not unexpected, Hugh
Harris death will cause much. sor-
row among his friends in Albuquer.
que, in Santa Fe and elsewhere in
New Mexico today He has lived in
New Mexico but three years, but in
that time he has blsheli-himself
in the respect and esteem of every
one who has met him, and by his
charm of manner, his sterling >char-
acter and the CHEEKY courage with
which he has fought against all too
heavy odds, he has won warm friends
on every hand.
Mr.. Harris came to Santa Fe from
st. Louis, where he had held an i'm
portant position with the Bell Tele-
phone company and took a
position with the New Mex
ican. Failing health sent him here,
and he at first engaged in news
paper work, later joining the forestry
service as forest ranger on the Jem-
ez forest reserve. The outdoor life did
what it was expected to do, and Mr..
Harris health improved. His eXcep-
[tional executive ability was quickly
recognized, and he was soon promot-
led to be supervisor of the Manzano
national forest, and the Mount Tay-
lor national forest on the creation OF
these reserves. The direction of
these two vast areas was severe
strain, and although Mr.. Harris sue
cessfully conducted the dual work I'M
til April 1908, he was forced at that
time to take rest, spending some
weeks in the sanitarium at Santa Fe,
and in outdoor life. Recovering, he
was detailed to the headquarters of
the bureau in Washington, where he
remained until the establishment of
the field service, when he was again
promoted ITO the important position
of chief of occupancy for the third dis
trict, with headquarters here, having
charge of this work for New Mexico,
Arizona, Oklahoma and Arkansas. He
was one of the best informed men in
New Mexico upon national forest con-
ditions in the southwest, and his
grasp of the needs of the service will
make it difficult to Immediately fill
his place.
Mr.. Harris was but thirty years old,
He was born in Athens, Ga, gradual
ed from the University of Georgia,
and prior to his connection with the
Bell Telephone company in ST. Louis,
where he was superintendent of the
main city office. he had been con-
nected with several of the most prom
inent newspapers in the south. In
addition to the two sisters who are
now in Albuquerque, Mr.. Harris is
survived by a third sister, whose nome
is in Virginia.

thirty to fifty men. Little work was

NEGROIN VARIOUS STUNTS
FAILING IN FLIM-FLAM GAMES,
ELOPES WITH MOBRILTON
NEGRO GIRL.

A copper-colored negro, giving his
name as Sneed. came to the city Sat
urday and secured license to sell a
cleaning preparation on the street,
says the Morrilton Democrat. He be
gan business by offering his prepara-
ton at 80 cents per bottle and threw
in chance at pistol. Constable
Britt Jones took him before Prosecut-
ing Attorney Strait, who ordered his
release upon the payment Of the costs
and a promise to refrain from further
mutlations of the laws But Sneed
was wise and tried working a very
rank him-ham game Of placing two
dollar or larger bill between two bot
ties and selling the two bottles for 81, -,
as the buyer would take the bottles
by the tops they would spread and the
bill drop into Snecd's hand and glide
back between two other bottles. This
perpetual slide motion attracted the
attention of Henry Burgiss. one Of
our local colored men, who was not
averse to bying a dollars worth of
cleansing fluid for 81 when $2 and
a 81 hill were held between. But Hen
W caught below the foul line and bills
failed to drop. OF course Sneed
''roared" but Henry put the bills in
his pocket and went on his way. But
Sneed must do the town some way, so
that evening he eloped with a daugh-
ter of Anderson Gordon. Deputy
Gordon went to Little Rock Sunday
and brought the couple back, turning
the girl over to her father and put
Sneed in fail.

WILL DECIDE TONIGHT
.HINFNON AND KANANAUGH TO
DECIDE WHICH WILL OP-
POSE DONAGHEY.

Little Rock, Dec 1l.-Prof. John H..
| Hnemon and c. {. Kavanaugh are in
conference here this afternoon and
/ from them an announcement Is eX-
Ipected tonight a to which will oppose
| Governor DOnaghey Tor his reelection
to a second term. The two prospee-
/ tive candidates had conference here
week ago today and it is understood
that a proposition was submitted by
I Kavanaugh to Hinemon which he has
HAD under consideration during the
week
1t is stated that an agreement was
reached at that time that both would
not enter the race, but that the sup
port of the one who did not run would
be given to the one who becomes a
candidate. A remarkable feature of
Ethis political agreement is that kav-
anaugh is a strong ally of the organ
Iized LIQUOR forces in this state and his
candidacy is believed to have their
backing, while Hinemon has stated
that if he makes the race his princi-
pal argument will be for statewide
prohibition by Legislative enactment.
As to the whiskey question, Cover
nor Donaghey occupies the middle
ground Of being a strong personal
advocate of prohibition, but not favor
ing the enactment of sumptuary leg
slation on the question until it has
been submitted to a vote of the peo-
Pile. He believes that unless a state
wide prohibition has such backing
of public sentiment expressed at the
polls the law would in many sections
be fagrantly disobeyed, as has been
the case in several other states.
1t seems likely, however, that he
will have either a statewide prohibi-
tion opponent supported by pros
pective candidate of the liquor inter
ests, or whiskey candidate backed by
one of the leading advocates of state
wide prohibition.
