NUMBERED FIVE, BESIDES
COUNSEL AND SECRETARY
GOOD JUDGMENT IS SHOWN
X. D. GooDALL, E. G. MURPHEY,
EUGENIo ROMERO AND FELIX
EsoUIBEL CHOSEN

Associate Justice Clarence j. Rob-
erts, judge of the Fourth judicial dis
trict, will tomorrow announce the ap-
pointment of Mayor X. D. Goodall
E. G. Murphey, Don Eugenio Ro-
nero, county treasurer and recorder
for San Miguel county, and Felix Es-
Quibel, as members of the board of

These gentlemen will succeed the
present members of the board, whose
terms of office will expire at midnight
tonight.

Judge E. v. Long, Hallett Reynolds
and F. H. Pierce, whose resignation
TO take effect today was received by
Judge Roberts short time ago. Mr..
Romero and Mr.. Esquibel will sue
ceed themselves. Both have been
members of the board for several
years. Mr.. Romero was elected presi-
dent upon the resignation of Jeffer-
son Reynolds some time ago.
Judge Roberts appointments viii
meet with the appreciation of the peo-
plaes of, Las Vegas and San Miguel

men and public spirited citizens. All
four men enjoy the confidence and
esteem of the community.
The membership of the grant board
has been cut down from five to four.

beard, it is understood, also will be
cut down to SIS a month. That func-
tionary has been receiving $3.50
monthly.
Judge Roberts choice of wise and
experienced men will be the more ap-
preciated because of the fact that the
new grant board will find itself con-
fronted with the task of bringing to
successful completion the Camfield ir-
rlgation project on the land compris-
ed within the grant, an undertaking
which was begun by the trustees who
retired today, The Camfield project
means much for Las Vegas. It's sue
cess will be assured in the hands OF
the men to be appointed by Judge
Roberts.

economy. The retiring board held its
final session today. At noon it was
announced that the board likely would
have its affairs in condition before
evening to be turned over to the new
trustees

tees. -Four years later the number

tlemen dropping out and Messrs. JEFF
ferson Reynolds, Judge q. v. Long,

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

itself incapable of putting down the
insurrection, it may be necessary to
call upon American forces to restore
order. Under such contingencies it
is prominently our duty to under
to prevent aid to the insurrection
from the United States. Mexico is
our near neighbor. American inter
ests there are very important, esti-
mated at a billion to billion and a
half of dollars. Our Monroe doc
trine imposes upon us certain obiiga-
tons which it is fitting We should
be prepared to carry out, especially
as foreign countries might have to in
terfere if we did not. 1t follows that
if We are unwilling to see foreign
protect their interests in Mexico by
force, we must assume that RESPONSE
bility ourselves. ii is evident that
some difficulties have developed
which are at present unknown to the
public; or our Government would not
have undertaken to make such an en-
ergtic display of force as it has done
during the past week. In all proba-
biiity this presentation of firm front
will tend to solve the problem more
promptly, if only to stir the Mexican
government itself into more energetic
methods of dealing with the insur-
gents.
The market at present is in techni-
cally good position. Our investment
situation is unusually sound, and
there are not few desirable stocks
and bonds which can be picked up at
prices which will afford good returns
and probably satisfactory profits la.
ter on. The speculative situation,
less uncertainty. The Mexican situa.
ton might cause temporary furry
but no serious reaction in securities
The Oil and tobacco cases are still
subjects of very great Importance
and it is realized that an unfavorable
decision would probably mean very
extensive reorganization and read
justment in our industrial machinery
In this, however, there is also little
occasion for anxiety, although the
fear that the decisions will disturb
good many holders of these invest
ments may cause a temporary furry
in values. The crop outlook is salts
factory, and with easy money and the
fact that many unfavorable influences
have been thoroughly discounted. the
outlook for the market should be to
ward improvement as soon as the un
certainties just referred to disappear

WAFFLE HONORS ARE
GIVEN KANSAS MAN

Kansas City, March 11.-Now anoth-
err waffle champion enters the lists.
The new entry is a man, and he has
been making waffles forty years, do
ing homework of all kinds and nurs-
ing children besides. He is working
with the second generation now, and
his employer, Mrs. r. T. Bass, sos
Olive street, says he is a champion of
every kind of work about the house.
He never has done any worke other
than Homework.
Paul Gastell-that is the new cham
pion's name-believes he is about six
ty years old. He was in an orphan as
YUM in st. Louis as far back as he
can remember. They told him there
that his parents were Italians. A ST.
Louis family adopted him and he be-
gan doing homework. When Paul
was about twenty years old Mr.. Bass,
who never han been able to find any
suitable servants since President Lin
coins proclamation set free his slaves
heard of him and hired him. Ever
since then he has been cook and
housekeeper for the Bases.
Paul has been in the business Sec
ton of Kansas City only twice, al
though he has lived here twenty-five
years. He prefers to stay at home and
look after the children, he says. And
residents of the block in which the
Bases live use him often to go on
errands. He is happiest when he is
doing something for somebody.
The neighbors also have a way of
dropping around to call on Paul Sun
day mornings to see if he has any ex-
ira waffles. He always has and they
have the reputation of being the fluff
fest, lovliest waffles that ever saw
breakfast table. Here is Paups
way of making them:
Take three eggs and separate the
whites from the youlks. Beat the yOlks
we'll and add two pints of sour milk, a
teaspoon of soda, salt to taste and
add a pound of flour. Stir hard into
a very light batter, thinner than cake
batter. Next melt two tablespoonful
of lard and pour in, and last Of all
beat the whites of the eggs thorough
" and stir them in with the batter.
Then you are ready to put them into
the waffle iron. That same batter
makes fine mullins, too. Just bake
them in tins instead of on a waffle ir-
on"

LETTER is CLEW TO
LONG LOST WATCH

Pottsville, Pa. March 11.-Eighteen
years ago gold watch engraved with
the name Of Cecilia Williams, of St.
Clair, disappeared. 1t was lost during
a Fourth of July parade at st. Clair
in 1892.
A few days ago she received an an
onymous letter stating that John
Pearce of Port Carbon, found the
watch the day it was lost. and she was
advised to go to Pearce's home and
claim the timepiece. Upon demand
for it the man denied having it in his
possession.
Suit was entered against Pearce be-
fore justice of the peace Montgomery

pawned the watch, but declined to
say who now has it. Pearce was plac-
ed under bail for court.

would be absolutely without means OF
obtaining the requisite number OF
horses. He quoted statistics to show
that there were purchased for the fed
eral army in the four years Of the
captured from the enemy 20,3sS
horses. Leaving out of consideration
those captured and not reported, the
federal army required 500 horses each
day for remounts. During the eight
months of the year 1864, the cavalry
of the army of the Potomac was prac-
tically supplied with tow remounts,
nearly 10000 horses. The supply OF
fresh horses for the army of General
Sheridan during his campaign in the
valley of the Shenandoah was at the
rate of $50 per day.
During the Russian campaign the
French crossed the Nieman in June
1912, with cavalry, artillery and train
horses. On December Is, the rem
nant of the invading army crossed the
Nieman with 1000 cavalry horses. In
six months the horses had all dis
appeared.
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief OF
staff of the army, in pointing out to,
day that the army is sadly in need OF
a source of certain supply of cavalry
remounts, said that the department is
grateful to Mr.. Belmont's type to Of

eminent.
Already one man has followed Mr.
Belmont's lead. He is Edward Cassat

dent of the Pennsylvania railroad, A.

ficer in the United States cavalry has
presented three high class breeding
stations, which have been accepted
by Major General Leonard Wood on
behalf of the army.

SENATOR GORDON
is SPELLB|NDER
Venerable Statesman Pic
lures True Southerner
at Trade Congress.
(American News Service)


Atlanta, Ga, March 1.-THE many
prominent men who have gathered to
Commercial congress listened Friday
to ex-senator Gordon of Mississippi,
deliver one of the most eloquent
speeches that has been heard since
the opening day. Mr.. Gordon, who
is now we'll past the three score and
ten mark, is a striking survivor of
that old southern chivalry, which held
sway before the war. His address of
today took the form of a special plea
for the hallowed memories of those
days when the southern gentleman of
courteous ways, voiced his legislative
desires from the palatial residences
that graced his vast plantations. He
sought to dispel the popular belief
that the old southerner was an indol-
ence-loving, easy going person and pic
tured him as a patriotic idealist who
took up the burden of commercial re-
Mobilization after the war, with a de-
termination to make the south greater
than ever before.
Ex-senator Gordon's speech recalled
his farewell address before the United
States senate in Washington, an ad-
dress that stirred the country to it's
depths and created a new bond be-
tween the north and the south. Then
as now there were tears in the eyes
of his audience. Then as now his hear
ers had naught but praise in their
hearts for this exponent of the south
whose life has been devoted to unself-
ish endeavors to recoup the fallen for
tunes of his friends and neighbors and
secure for the southern states an ad-
ministration that would help them to
regain and surpass the glory that was
once theirs. -~-s~
Address Of Gordon.
Senator Gordon said in part:
THE old southerner has been repre-
sented as an indolent, pleasure low
ing individual, dwelling in lotus eat
ing land whose people were a hospita-
BILE cheerful folk endowed with plenty
caring for nothing save their own
pleasures and looking on the business
world with an impressive if not disap-
proving eye. This is vile SANDER
upon a brave, chivalrous race, who
were proud without arrogance, hold
ing honor above price, and SO stout
of heart, that when the fortunes of
war in it's bosom of destruction laid
waste their lands, and shattered their
ideals, they did not weep or repine
over lost treasures, but went manful-
ly to work to restore them.
4 feel it a great privilege to speak
to the sons and grandsons of the two
great armies who once contended on
ensanguined fields and are now one
people.
The evil days are past. The effulg-
ent beams of this mornings sun lights
up the blushing dawn of a new day.

tariff and platform promise on
which William H. Taft was

Fargo. N. D, July l5.-Anrie
Huffmeister, the young girl
who is one of the principals, in
the Pembina white slavery
case, was brought to Fargo to-
day.
Last night S. B. Hochman,
deputy U. S. marshal went to
Pembina where he secured the
young lady and brought her
here. Judge Barnett, assistant
U. S. attorney who acted for

best that Miss Huffmeister
should be placed where she
will be given the care such
as a girl of her age needs.
During the time that she has
been in the Jail at Pembina she
has been rather downcast and
it was feared that her health
might be impaired should she
remain there. She will make
her home with the Crittenden
home officials until next fall
" hen the case will have a hear
ing before Judge Amidon in
the U. S. court.
