The Trinidad boosters thirty
FIVE strong arrived in Roy Thurs

were rendered surprise that
they will not forget for many
moons. To- take their own word
for it which is unanimous the town
of Roy is one of the most pto-
date and most prosperous towns
on their line of visits. Upon their
arrival in the city they all got ac-
commodations at the various no
tells, then a business visit to the
local business houses, boosting
their respective waresand secur-
ing generous orders.
At nine O'Clock a reception and
u smoker was rendered them at
the Odd Fellows hall.
Mr.. w. +. Walkowiak was call
ed upon as chairman in welcom-
ing the Boosters. He made a
forcible Speach in which he said;
We are willing to do business
with Trinidad if they will see
that we get our goods on the same
basis that they get elsewhere.
But they must see that the 'rrini-
dad Chamber of Commerce will
get together and obtain rates on
the railroads which will enable
them to compete with other cities
for the Business of Roy.
Mr.. A. l.. Branson responded

The Roy District Fair was a
grand success from every stand
point. Notwithstanding the rain
that mared the the first day, the
people came in with their pro
ducts and the entries were made
quite satisfactory. There was
hustle and hustle everywhere es-
pecialy at the ladies booths. 1t
is very gratifying to write about
the parade which took place on
the second day. The agricultural
floats were grand and the pro
ducts of the land that were shown
on them would justify an eastern
farm to be proud of such a dis
play.
Pleasant View and Liberty
Township were the principal com
petitors and as the judges said
afterwards it was a hard nut to
crack to tell which had the best
display.
F. Fluhman's wagon was the
best display of strictly dry farm
ing products. He had every-
thing from milo maize to cotton,
and he deserves great credit for
the work he does in developing,
and encouraging the other farm.
Sers so that they will also get the
same results.
The Goodman Mercantile Co
had a business float in the par
ade which was a credit to the
mercantile company and show,
that they are wide awake and pr,
gressive.
There we're other participant,
such as fancy turnouts and the
shabbiest rig, which was captur
ed by Mr.. Malone.
The afternoon was devoted t,
inspection of exhibits, baby shov

Prof. Simpson of the New Mexic
Agricultural College made an ad

STEEL TRUST
 INVESTIGATION
FURTHER EVIDENCE ON AcouI- SETON OF TENNESSEE COAL
 AND IRON.
Expected at the Continuation of the Committee Hearing Which
 Resumes Tomorrow.

New York, July 27.-Further reve- lations regarding the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company and it's absorption Iby the United States Steel Corpora ton during the financial panic of 1907 are expected tomorrow before the house special committee of inquiry into the operations of tbe steel trust"
 The investigation, transferred from
 Washington to this city, will be di- rected into many other channels, but the Tennessee transaction will have precedence hera Summons to ap- pear tomorrow in this connection are h. c. Hanna, brother of the late Mark
 Hanna, and E. w. Oglebay, both oi Cleveland.
 Hanna and Oglebay were members lof the syndicate of fifteen who took over the tennessee Coal and Iron Company and its vast southern ore properties and ran it as an inde. pendent factor in the steel world un- | til the merger of 1907.
 Mir. Hanna, who with Grant B. Schlei. of the New York brokerage firm of Moore and Schlei, acted as lsyndicate manager of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company at the time lof it's absorption, is expected to be the first witness. Both Messrs Han na and Oglebay will be questioned
 particularly regarding the actual value of the property and ore hold lings.
 The charge has been made that when the United States Steel Cor Iporation gained control of the South ern ores, the only great field of non Bessemer in this country, it conn pleted an actual monopoly of the iron ores of the United States.
 Whether an excessive price was |paid for the Tennessee properties will be asked of the witnesses. Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the ccard of directors of the United States Steel Corporation, told the committee the price was too nigh.
 John w. Gates, another member. testified the price was far too low.

 Tae company has been doing a money lending business in all of the lSouthern states and its operations have involved according to federal officials. between s50O00o and $3.- I000,O00.
 The arrests were made by postal inspector, George w. Cellar, who has been working with Leroy ]. Bailey of the department of justice at Wash lington.
 According to Mir. Cellar. the coni- pany has been doing business in loan investment contracts. A per- son wishing to borrow money from the concern paid 500 for a contract which bore 8 number between 1 and one hundred. One hundred of such contracts were supposed to be sold each holder being required to pay s5 month. in addition to his origi- nal outlay.
