Copenhagen, Sept. 15.-The Danish

On his way to Etah, to secure the
much talked of records and instru-

Eskimo settlement in the northeast of
Greenland. The captain of the schoon-

but has no proof. The vessel also
brings information that two mission

In the person of John Becker, of
Belen, Valencia county, the constitu-
tional convention next month will
have delegate who has the sound
business sense of successful mer-
chant, and who may be called the
builder of modern Belen.
Born in 1850 in the Kingdom of
Hanover, Germany, he grew up to
see Hanover conquered. But rather
than serve as a soldier of the conquer
or, the young man at the age of 10,
crossed the seas to seek his fortunes
in the land of freedom, far from the
clink of military sword and the noise
of naughty soldiers tread.
Two years after arriving in this
land, Mr.. Becker started west. He
crossed the plains from Kit Carson
and travelling by mule freight train
into New Mexico, he began his New
Mexico career at Los Lunas as clerk
in the mercantile establishment of l..
H. Huning and after two years ser
vice there took charge of a branch
store at Belen, as partner, the firms
name being l.. H. Huning and Becker.
For four years he managed this store
successfully until 1877. He then mar
ried Miss Anna Vielstich of Bremen,
Germany, and began his married life
as a merchant for himself. He en-
larged his business several times and
in 1902 in order to associate valuable
employees with himself he incorporat-
ed his business under the name OF
"The John Becker Company" This
establishment now is one of the larg'
est Of its kind in the southwest, doing
a general mercantile business. Mr..
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1910-09-15

Becker attributes much Of his success
to the sympathetic interests of his
wife and the loyal support Of his asso-
ciates and employees.
Mr.. Becker is owner of the Belen
Roller Mills, the largest Touring mill
in New Mexico.
He is president of the John Becker
Company, the Becker MacTavish Com
pany, of Magdalena, and the Willard
Mercantile Company, of Willard. He
is also president of the First National
Bank of Belen, and vice-president Of
the Bank of Magdalena, and president
of the Belen Town and improvement
Company.
Mr.. Becker's family consists of his
wife, three sons and two daughters.
The Oldest son is John Becker, Jr., an
active associate of the John Becker
Company and vice-president Of the
First National bank of Belen. The
second son is Louis G. Becker, who is
cashier of the bank.
Upon his arrival in Belen, Mr.. Beck
er found the place not so far advanced
as to have postotfice. He secured
one for Belen and was its first post
master and has ever since held the
position, for the past 81 years.
Mr.. Becker was instrumental in Sc
curing the Eastern Railway of New
