BOIL YOUR DRINKING WATER.

With the small amount Of water sup
piled the people Of Rocky Ford during the
past two weeks it seems almost useless
to issue a warning that all water for do
msstic purposes should be boiled. but
recent Investigations by the city health
officer makes it appear necessary that
every preeaution should be taken to
avoid fever epidemic this summer.
Dr.. Barbour reports that numerous
tests show the city water mains to be
clear Of germs. but he has found six out
Of seven eisterns examined to be infected
BY personally overseeing the thorough
disinfeetion Of all water tanks and the
prompt issuance Of a warning. coupled
with information upon the proper method
Of cleansing eisterns. ETC., the health
officer hopes to wage a successful battle
against the germs without having to
resort to the compulsory disinfeetion Of
eisterns. as an ordnance empowers him
to do.

Promise and Performance.

In their last state platform. the
Democrats "demanded' or favored
seven varieties OF what they call re
form" The railroads were to be
strictly regulated. and an anti-pass
law enacted; bank guarantee meas
ure, like Oklahoma's, was to be pass
ed $50 that ii one state bank breaks
all the others may break with iD; a
strict law was to be enacted providing
that no corporation shall hold stock
OF another corporation: a direct pri-
mary was to be provided; the initia-
tive and referendum, like Oregon's,
were to be introduced: municipal
ownership of public utilities was to
be encouraged by lad; and finally, the
ballot was to have its head taken off
How many of these seven promised
measures were enacted by a legisla-
;ure which. in the words OF Ex. Gov.
Thomas, was bound by every obi
CATION OF faith and honor" to make
thcm into n law?
Not one.
In 1906. the Republicans. in their
the nature OF reforms These were
revision and codihcation OF the in
surancc laws; local option law; laws
creating railroad commission, civi!
service commission, state bank ex-
aminer, and a state public accountant
| and a strict pure food law.
How many of these measures. thus
favored, were enacted by the succeed
ing Republican Legislature?
Every one.
There you have the difference be-
tween Republican and Democratic
promise and performance

over the news which reached here
Yesterday from an unofficial source
that the Rock Island Railroad com
papy Is planning TO build extensive
shops and r9undhouses here upon the
completion q thr Tneumcari x Mem
Dds railroad.
The evidence Which c-orrobOratcs
this news Is the fact that the com
.pany has recently purchased 100 acres
Of land at Mexican, Texas, n town sew
enty-one miles east Of Amarillo. and
rumors are current that preparations
arc now well under way To move the
roundhouSe and shops from Sayre.
Okla. 70 Mclean. which is just half
WAY between here and Ri Reno. okla.
the greatest division point OF the Rock.
island lines in the southwest.
The distance between Mclean and
Amarillo being too short for a divi-
sion, Tucumcari Is almost sure 10 get
the shops ana roundhouse. as 1t is the
terminal Of the line. Railroad men
here firmly believe the Rock Island Is
going TO spend an enormous sum OF
money making Tueumc0ri one Of the
important division points In the
southwest, and that 1t Is only a ques-
ties OF time when the company Will
build west to Albuquerque and south
