Revenue Cutter Boats
Having Busy Season

Revenue Cutter Service officials say
TIE ocean Is thick with derelicts just
now as the result >of the recent big
storm Of the Atlantic coast. Some of
these are dangerous to navigation.
The unusually large number Of dere-
licts is ascribed to the fact that in the
summer season all manner of craft take
to sea and, relying on good weather.
their shippers try to make living out
of boats that are barely seaworthy.
Plenty of hard work is ahead OF the
revenue cutters in helping disabled ves-
sells and finding derelicts.
Orders were wired today to the COM
manGer of the cutter Seminole. Wiln-
ington, n. g., to search for the schoon-
Ell John Pose, on fire off the coast of
the Carolinns. The Seminole was also
ordered to search for another wreck
with two masts standing reported fifteen
miles of Cape Roman light.

The Kind We Want

Wilson Morris and son, A.
Waldo Morris, of Council Grove,
Kansas, who arrived in Roy re-
Gently and are stopping at Irwin
Ogden, Sr.'s ranch, east of town,
have located on a half section
each of land nine miles south
east of town, near w. H. Guth-
mans farm, and will soon ship
their stock and other personal
effects here and locate here in
future. They are from the
burned-out section of Kansas, and
it looks mighty good to them
here. Mr.. Morris, Jr., is a
prominent school man, a member
of the city council of his town,
and of the sort of young men we
need here. His father came here
an invalid, but is fast losing h.,
claim to that distinction, and is
infatuated with the country and
especially with his 800 acres of it
and the inexhsustible supply of
timber, building stone and pas
ture that surrounds it.

SEARCH FOR POTASH

Prof. l.. B. Dertcher of Chi
cago, a noted chemist, for many
years in the employ of the U S.
government, was in Roy Thurs
day. He is at present searching
for deposits of soluble potash,
and working on his own resour-
ces, having declined to work on a
salary for the U. S. in this in
stance. The recent embargo
placed on export of this product
by the German government,
makes it especially desirable to
locate beds of the mineral in this
country. The immense deposits
of ochre and other mineral ash
products in this vicinity, war
rant his investigation here. E. j.
H. Roy is driving him about the
country in his auto.

PIP. Circle Meeting

Several new members were
present at the regular meeting Of
the Primrose Progressive Circle
Friday afternoon. The meeting
was in part farewell reception
to Mrs. Max H. Karlsruher, and
was held at the home of the pres
ident, her sister, Mrs. Herman
Goodman. Important business
was also transacted regarding
the future activities of the Circle.
Mrs. Karlsruher has been an ac-
tive and useful member of the
Circle ever since it's inception
and will retain her membership
even though changing her resi-
dence to Springer. She will be
missed by all social circles in Roy
but in none so much as by the
Primrose ladies'. The Primrose
Progressive Circle and it's auxil-
iary of young ladies have outlined
much philanthropic and social
work for themselves for the
coming season, the public schools
to be one of the bene6ciaries of
their efforts.

FAIR ASSOCIATION

The call issued in last weeks
Spanish American for a mass
meeting to discuss plans for a
District Fair this fall, was res
ponded to by about 25 or more
citizens of the town and country
at the Odd Fellows Hall Tuesday
evening.
r. w. Bouiware was chosen
temporary chairman and w. Fred
Ogden temporary secretary.
More than half those present
were from the country neighbor-
hoods, and keen interest was
shown by all.
After discussing plans fully,
in which discussion all joined in
freely, it was decided to appoinC
another meeting to perfect the
organization, and in the mean
time to get busy and figure out
just what we want to do and what
can be done.
A committee of three was ap-
pointed to formulate plans, esti-
mate the cost and figure out re-
sources and present a report at
the next meeting. This commit.
tee consists of w. Frank Walko.
WAX, H. Good man and F. S.
Brown.
An interesting address by the
chairman and a communication
from the promoters of the Chau-
tauqua at Mountainair and the
proposed New Mexico auxiliary
to the international Dry Farming
Congress was read and discussed.
The meeting adjourned to con-
tinue planning for permanent
organization next Wednesday af-
ternoon, when all citizens of this
mesa are urged to be present and
help organize the big est and
most efficient advertising scheme
ever attempted here, and one
that will attract more people here
than any other means of exploit
ing this territory.
Among the plans under con-
temptation is the forming of a
stock company to raise funds,
the leasing of big corral or tent
for exhibition purposes, the class
flying of exhibits and awarding
of prizes, the encouragement of
carnival and other ente rtalnment
features, and in general to have
a modern, up-to date fair for
three days, and form perma-
nent institution that will afford
profitable amusement for our
people, exhibit what they can
raise and what they are doing
here, and above all, proclaim to
the outside world this truth, that
this is the most favored farming
section of the great Southwest.
We hope and believe that all this
will be accomplished this fall,
that the initial steps will be taken
next Wednesday, and that every
live farmer on this mesa will be

a Compliment For Him.

She was eighteen and very shy, and
she never had been in the city before.
There was no one at Broad street ste-
tiOn to meet her. and she looked about
timidly for a cab. Her mother had
told her to take a hanson. She did
not see any hanson, nor did she
know that the Sep bbies" wore a livery
all their own. She did'nOt see q police
man either, so she approached a youth
who was standing on the corner Of
Fifteenth street with her bashful ques-
ton
Please" she began, "are you a han
som man?'
The youth raised his hand and
twirled his mustache ingratiatingly,
smiling with deprecating assumption
of modesty.
Il am so considered" he replied

INDEXING BOOKS.

The Custom Is an Old One That De-
VeIoped Rather Slowly.
The custom of indexing books de-
velOped gradually. Cicero used the
word index" but in the sense of q
table of contents. Seneca provided
some works which he sent to a friend
with notes of particular passages. 80
that he who only aimed at the useful
might he spared the trouble Of exam

a partial ''index" in the modern sense.
Annotated, or at least explanatory,
tables OF contents seem to have pre-
Ceded the index proper
Such tables followed the order of
appearance Of the subjects in the

which was the beginning OF the real
index, appears not to have been
thought of until the invention Of print.
ing, and even then it spread but
slowly. Erasmus was one of the first
to provide his works with alphabetical
indexes. The custom did not become
universal until well into the sixteenth
century.
The first index to an English book is
said to be that printed in PolydOre
VergiPs "Angliae HistOriae," in 1915
An edition of this work published ten
years later has an index of thirty.

FREAKS OF A RIVER.
A Stream So Crooked That 1t Double
Crosses Itself.

A Stream So Crooked That 1t Double
Crosses Itself.
There is a stream In Massachusetts
called the North river. 1t starts in a
pond near Hanson and runs to the sea
at Scituate. 1t is ten miles by air line
from Hanson to Scituate, and the river
is forty miles long.
This river is probably the most re-
markable body Of water, barring the
Dead sea, on this footstOOl and has
stood more abuse and bad language
than the Chicago river. When the tide
Is coming in the river runs upstream,
and not only that, but the upper part
of it, which is fresh water, also runs
up, and the spectacle of a fresh water
river beating it uphill is alone enough
to call attention to itself. But there is
much more to it than that.
The North river is noted for being
the scene of the last Indian raid on the
coast settlements. 1t is notable for
having given birth to the ship COlum-
bia, whose captain discovered and
named the Columbia river, and was
the first American vessel to ciTcum-
navigate the world 1t is notorious for
having suddenly changed its mind on
its course on the night of Nov. 27, 1898,
when it moved its mouth three miles to
the northward, presented the town of
Marshfield with deep harbOr, killed
three men and converted about 100000
acres of prime meadow land into a salt
marsh.
But the chief thing about this riy T
is its crookedness. This river is 50
crooked that 1t double crosses itself.
If you don't believe 1t go and see,
There is one place in Hanover where
by making three loops the river moves
toward the sea for a distance of al
most fifty feet and meanders about
for fifteen miles In doing it.-BOston

NEXT DOORS FRUIT TREE.
Heavily Laden, Extend Over the
Fence Into Your Yard.

The next door fruit tree. growing sc
near the line that laden branches ex-
tend over the fence, has proved a
source of untold Spankings to the
small boy quarreIs between otherwise
good neighbOrs and even resort to the
police courts. One is inclined to sus-
pect that the original apple tree OF
trouble hung over a neighb0r's fence.
The cause of friction is. Of course,
the question of the ownership Of or at
least the right to take and use the
fruit on the too widely spread
branches. Generally this fruit is
claimed by the person whose property
is thus invaded. but if he asserts this
claim to the point of gathering the
fruit without permission he may feel
the iron hand Of the law, says Har-
per's Weekly If he objects to the
presence Of the branches which extend
over his property the owner OF the
tree must remove them. But if the
owner OF the tree applies for the fruit
or asks permission to enter and take it
the owner Of the land over which the
branches extend cannot refuse permis-
sion for entry for this purpose. If he
refuses either to hand over the fruit
or to allow the owner Of the tree to
enter and take it. then the owner of
the tree may enter without permission,
but he must use no force nor commit
any damage in so entering.
Certainly the most neighbOrly thing
to do would be to divide that fruit.
