He had lived on his farm On the Lower

about 1878. He was one OF the first
farmers to make a success OF itrig-
a'ion on the ella. He was born near
the James river in Virginia, and his
favorite oath was "by James river"
During the rebellion he served in the
Union army, being a member of the

The Southern Pacific has built a
new crossing over its tracks, opposite
High street, which is the street be-
tween the residences of w. II. Small

and which is not INSTRUCTED by trains,

other crossing is at the Arizona &

offered a much more remunerative

the company some sixteen years, and
for a long time has been a member Of

One OF the laws passed by the last
legislature IS known as the Hilton
road law, and among other things it
provides that the county commits
sloners shall cause to be placed at
every road crossing and forks, a sign
telling where the various branches Of
the road lead to. 1t provides a severe
penalty to any one who shall deface
or destroy one Of these signs. This
will be a great accommodation to the
people who are travelling through the
country, or from one place to an
other, who are not familiar with the
roads. The county commissioners of
Grant county will, In addition to the
lettering required by the law, add to
every sign that is on the Borderland
route the words "Borderland Route"
If the commissioners Of Luna, Dona
Ana, Otero and Chaves county will
follow this example the whole route
through the state will be sign posted,
and the signs will be protected.

far that three things are clear: l.
will have a long lead at Baltimore; z
will most probably have a majority. and
3, nobody will have two-thirds majority
on the first ballot
Il do not know whether the two-thirds
rule will be enforced. II never has been
enforced but once, and that was against
Martin Van Buren, in 1874. In all other
cases the man receiving a majority was
given the necessary two-thirds majority;
but nevertheless, the two-thirds rule may
be enforced, and I may and may not Sc
cure the two-thirds majority. I have
every reason now TO believe that I will,
but in view Of the contingency, and out Of
respect for the wishes Of my constituents,

WANTS THE TARIFF FIXED

Elizabeth, n. J., May 25.-In strideni
tone, Col. Roosevelt sounded a warn
ing 70 the Republican National Com
mittee here tonight not to try to fool
him out OF the nomination.
The former President insisted that
there will be no compromise at Chi
cago, and that he viii insist upon the

deal His challenge carried with II Z
threat 70 get out and lead q third
ticket II the committee throws the
nomination by trickery to President

RooseveIts sizzling speech came at
the end OF day crowded with stirring
campaigning. He spoke to crowd OF
bowling patriots that packed the ar
mory. "our opponents have no thought
OF winning unless by deliberately
cheating in the national committee" I"
cried Roosevelt.
This committee h supposed TO pass on
the rights OF the people sitting in the
convention. II II chooses TO II can throw
out the lawfully elected delegates and
substitute those elected by fraud. II is,
therefore. vital to have q national COM
mittee which truly represent the people
Intimates Fraud.
The language Of our opponents in the
last few. days shows that they intend to
use members OF the national committee
who have been beaten In their own State
to sit in judgment on those who have
beaten them in their own States.
I'VE thrashed them seventy to six In
Pennsylvania and hfty-four to six In
Illinois. I call attention that the na-
tional committeeman from Pennsylvanla
represent not seventy, but six OF the
delegates. 1t is the same way in I'LL
nois. Not only does that pertain to
and Illinois, but the same
thing appears in place after place In
the national committee
'T want our opponents to know that
Il the discredited politicians and bosses
try to upset the verdict Of the people
I will have q great deal TO say. I viii
not stand for It for a moment.

lions OF the Republican party"
