Prescott, Ariz., Dec s-The Pres

pared to do business and accomplish
the purposes for which it was
founded. Twenty-Five citizens were
elected last night as directors, which,
with the three members of the board
of supervisors, will constitute the
board. At first il was proposed that
committee of five should be APP
pointed to nominate twenty-one men
TO be voted for as directors and an
amendment was accepted providing
that the committee should submit
forty-four names from which the
members should elect twenty-five.
This was voted down and q motion
prevailed that forty-four should be
nominated from the floor This was
done, and after a lapse OF an hour,

nouncement was made by Chairman

FORMER INSTRUCTOR AT
ROSWELL CAPTAIN OF
RATION GUARD COMPANY

Ration. N NJ, Dec. s.--A good sized
company Of young men We're present
last evening at the Commercial club
rooms to participate in the election
of a captain. Mr.. Fritz Brueggeman. a
former instructor in the military insti-
tute at Roswell, and an officer thor
oughly equipped in every way to
handle the important business of drill
ing and maintaining the efficiency of
a first-cl company Of the national
guard, was unanimously selected to
assume the duties of this important
position. Captain Brueggeman is not
only the possessor of a thorough train
ing in military science acquired
through several years attendance at
Roswell, as a student and later as an
Instructor, but possesses those quail
ties Of personality which make him
very popular among young men and
fit him for the peculiar duties de-
manded of national guard captain.
Besides ability and a vast amount of
tact. as well as military experience
and the capacity to make ones self
popular, are prime requisites, and
Captain Brueggeman is undoubtedly
best fitted to fill these qualifications

hearing Of witnesses in the Costilla
estates case. The litigation is inter
esting and rather unusual and in
wolves the location of the eastern
boundary of the Sangre de Cristo or
Costilla grant in northern TAOS
county, the grant owners claiming
that their survey is correct while
certain settlers claim it is Incorrect
that they are on public land and not
within the grant lines Much of the
testimony is of a technical character
and relates to monuments, metes
bounds and courses. The grant is q
patented one and the patent defines
the boundaries, but the surveyors diff
fer as to the actual location.

HANDSOME PIONEERS
HOME AT PRESCOTT
ALMOST COMPLETED

Phoenix. Ariz., Dec. S--All indica-
tons are that Henry Rockmark, the
contractor who is building the Ari-
zona Pioneers home at Prescott, will
complete his contract on schedule
time. He undertook TO finish the
building by December 10th Of this
year, and the work is practically
done, with the exception Of the in
stallation of few pillars. The home
will be open for occupancy Decem-
Der 18th.
Robert A. Craig, citizen member
of the board of control, viii leave for
Prescott in two or three days to ac-
cept the home and also to accept the
work done on the territorial road for
q distance nine miles south OF Pres
colt. AS soon as he has accepted the
road work thereon will be dropped
for the winter.
The legislature appropriated $25,-
900 to build the home. and naturally
"a small building had to be erected.
II was put up in such a way, how
ever, that it can be doubled in capac-
ity without destroying its architec-
tural beauty. When complete, the
present building will accommodate
forty inmates.
Mr. Craig stated yesterday that the
building will be completed with an
expenditure of not more than two or
three hundred dollars over the con-
tract price. This is most unusual.
Ordinarily the cost Cf a building runs
rs or so per cent sover the contract
price. But in the construction of the
Pioneers home the. original figures
have been rigidly adhered to. The
two or three hundred dollars extra
went for little additions, which We're
added after the plans were drawn
and the contract let.
The board of control is now pre-
pairing an application blank TO be
printed and forwarded to the boards
of supervisors for the use of pioneers
who wish to enter the home Up to
this time only one application has
been received.
In the act appropriating money for
the building OF the Pioneers home
the qualifications of those eligible to
live in it were laid down. These
qualifications are that Gn applicant
must be at least sixty-five years old
have lived in the territory twenty
five years and be unable to support
himself or herself. Each applicant
must obtain the Endorsement Of the
of his county
1t is not believed that at first there
will be many more than forty appli-
cants for admittance to the home.
The first forty eigibles to make APP
plication will be admitted.

the liquid the gentleman was using
and was politely informed that It's
composition was a secret and that no
other man in the world had any
knowledge OF it. and that he had been
touring the world with this product
for a bank roll. and that he worked
when he was ready and PLAYED when
he pleased. There IL no brush or
paste necessary in the use of this
polish simply spread il on with "a
sponge and let it dry three minutes
