CRUCES TO HAVE
A NEW BUILDING
Old Landmark Is Removed
to Make Room for Mod
ern Office Building.

Las Cruces, n. NJ, Sept 14-October
l is the day set for the razing Of the
old Rio Grande hotel. landmark of
the Mesilla valley and one of its most
famous hostelries from 1864 to 1900.
Its history could include romance, in
trigue and tragedy, and it has sheltered
many of the men who are today promi-
nent in national affairs. Among these
might be mentioned Steve B. Elkins.
senator from West Virginia, whose
name is on the original deed conveying
the property to Mrs. J. L. May in 1864,
Mr.. Elkins being a witness to the
deed.
a modern building will be erected
on the site of the old hotel, the present
plans calling for one story. and base
ment with walls built on the idea of
later adding one or two stories. The
building will have a frontage of 20
feet and a depth of 100 feet. The cor
will be occupied by May Bros with
retail and wholesale grocery store The
balance of the building will be made
into offices, most of which have al
ready been spoken for.
May Bros. will also construct cold
storage plant in the rear of the new
building. large enough to hold several
carloads of produce. the intention of
the firm being to handle all the vege-
tables that the farmers of this vicinity
can raise. In addition to the cold
storage plant there will be a plate
glas cooling room constructed within
the Storeroom proper, where the prod
ucts of the valley can be kept in good
condition and still be open to the view
of the public.

COLLEGE INSURANCE
MORE THAN STATED
No interruption in Studies
at Mesilla Park; Rebuild
ing to Start Soon.

Las Cruces, n. NJ, Sept 1.-THE
work at the New Mexico Agricultural
college is going ahead without inter-
ruptiOn on account of the destruction
Of the old main building, commonly
known as McFie hall. Yesterday morn
ing the classes were only delayed Is
minutes. caused by the necessary rear
rangement of class rooms, and all de-
partments are now running as usual
The burned building was completely
destroyed, only the four outside walls
remaining to mark the site of the first
building of the institution. The insur-
ance adjusters will be at the college
on Thursday to adjust the loss, after
which the walls will be RACED and work
on the new building commenced. The
insurance carried was higher than orig
inally stated, being s23,600 on the
building and contents, carried by II
companies.
There is still no clue as TO the origin
of the fire, as there were no stoves
in the building that were being used,
no artificial lights and no chemicals.
The most plausible explanation is the
careless dropping of a match by some
one of the students.

Yesterday. issued a statement condemn
ing the action of the four Democratic
members and one Republican insurgent
who delivered a report at Minneapolis
last Wednesday, demanding the re-

Those present yesterday were sena-

Minneapolis to have been according

was discussed. but in the absence OF
a quorum they stated that no action
on the case itself was possible.
Following is the statement issued;
The hearings of the committee, after

ANYBODY TO have the committee meet
for purposes of consultation upon the
evidence or to report its findings TO

the session. Under the circumstances
that course was manifestly impossible

eight men were present and two more

His Successor.
DIV Horace H. sheIton).

San Antonio, Texas, Sept 1.-THE
positive announcement that Theodore
Roosevelt will make a tour Of Texas in
March is taken as a further Indication
he is to be an active candidate for
the presidential nomination in 1912 and
this trip is part Of the plan to line up
the west solidly In addition to Texas
he will visit New Mexico, Arizona and
California On the return trip from
California he will visit some of the
northwestern states. This trip, togeth-
er with the one he will take through
the south within the next few weeks,
will practically cover the United States
Taft is by no means popular with the
Republicans of Texas He has not ap
pealed TO them as did Roosevelt. The
turning down of judge -McGrady, Of
Bonham, to appoint Gordon Russell,
Democrat, TO the federal judgeship of
the eastern district, did not help his
cause a great deal It might have been
pleasing to United States senator Jo-
,seph W. Bailey. but just at present he
has not the control OF the Republican
organization that he has of the Democ-
racy.
Evidence of Popularity.
The recent trip has shown Roosevelt
how popular he is. 1t is generally be-
lieved that he is only waiting to see
how the east will line up. Roosevelt
realizes that in New York, Pennsylva-
MIA. Massachusetts,. Rhode Island, Con-
necticut and other places where the
party organization is in the hands OF
the interests he will have hard fight
ahead of him. The west is his country
and the central United States is
friendly.
The trip through Texas will include
speeches at Beaumont, Houston, San
Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth and
through the Panhandle, probably 1eav-
ing the state at FL Paso. This would
serve to Great enough enthusiasm to
prevent any possible contingency aris-
ing whereby the state might go for

GIRLS WHO TALK AND SEW

n NE of the most graceful arts that

but they rarely combine the two accom-
plishments skilfully.
One Of the secrets Of the art is to avoid
doing in public any piece of work which
requires close attention, Be clever AT
