"Nigser" Adinstrels.

The minstrel show at the Elec-
tric last Tuesday proved quite an
innovation for this play house, and
a fair-sized audience turned out to
hear the burnt cork artists do their
several stunts, the proceeds going
to the Holly baseball team. Mes

work, as did Messrs. Downing,
Davis, Eastman, Sturgeon, Hunter
and Mourning. The quartette was.
was commendable, and the Lozio
trio, consisting of Messrs. Mourn.

clever acrobatic work. All of these
young men are from Lamar and
have been seen in burnt cork be-

nobly. Miss Bonnie Scribner, a
young pianist of Lamar who has a
brilliant future, accompanied the
aggregation.

Homer Dillon Plank.

Homer Dillon Plank was born. Au gust
81, 1901, in Bloomfield, Iowa, and died at
the Valley Home Hospital, La Junta,
Colo, April S, 1912, at 4 P. M. Age,
10 years, months, days. He was the
son of Aaron ID. and Lettie S. Plank.
In the Union Evanselistic meeting held
in Holly during the early part of 1911,
Homer gave his heart to God and made
choice OF the Methodist church in which
to do service for Him.
He took great d.light in his Sunday
school and Junior league, and was a very
faithful attendant at both. The 6rmness
with which this 10 year old boy held to
his church and the evident pleasure he
found 10 its sefvicss WAS really surprising.
10 his last illness, his pastor was at his
bedside, talking and praying with him,
while preparations were being made to
take him to La Junta to be operated on for
appendicitis, and found him strong, con.
fident and cheerful, trusting in Jesus to
take care of him all the way.
After the operation there was great
hope and rejoicing at the prospect Of his
recovery. His father returned to Holly
to look after the duties at home. The
symptoms becoming alarming he was hur-
riedly called back to La Junta and found
that Homer could not live.
He has gone to be with Jesus, Whose
service was his particular delight. He
has doubtless found his little brothers,
Irwin and Bernard, who had preceded him
to the Happy Land.
We all deeply sympathize with the
stricken family; especially with the
mother, in such few days bereaved Of
two of her children, for little Bernard
had died but two weeks before his older
brother.
We are SO glad that Homer's beautiful
life is balm for her pain, and an exhorta.
tion to us all.

Warren H. Myers, a young

city, Saturday and resumed his
journey to the coast, which is
his destination, the following
day. Myers started from Ro-
chester, New York, on Oct. 16
and had been on the road 60 days
when arriving in Clovis. He had
gone through a siege of sickness
in Okla, which delayed him two
weeks and except for that,
would have made the journey in
record breaking time. He car
RES a small bag with views and
names of individuals he has met
err route and aside from this he
possesses nothing which would
aid him in making the journey.
He left Rochester with the in
tention of arriving in San Fran
cisco, by the middle of Feb. and
had he done so would have re-
ceiyed a good purse; as it is he
will receive only a small sum.
Myers states that he is making
this ocean to ocean iaunt as a
kind of preliminary and that he
expects to break the record the
next time he covers the route.

Dear SIR
We have received many
communications in regard to the
legality of acts of the United
States Commissioners in taking
land proofs. All will be seen by
the enclosed communication from
the Commissioner of the General
Land Office. the Office of the
court commissioner has been alb
olished, and all their acts are
nugatory, and although the Off
ces of the United States Com
missioners were probably vaca-
ted upon the admission of New
Mexico as a state, they are still
regarded for the purpose Of TAX
ing land proofs as de facto offic-
ials and will be allowed to take
proofs until such time as the u
nited States Judge for the State
of New Mexico is appointed and
qualified.
We would appreciate it if you
would give this letter publicity
as many settlers who live a dis
lance from the land Offices or
County seats will be saved the
time and expense of going be-
fore said land officials in order to
make either their filings or final
proofs.

Gentlemen:
We are in receipt Of advice
from the Honorable Commission
er Of the General Land Office in
which he states:
1T is also considered that the
offices of u. S. Commissioners
were vacated as a consequence
of the admission of the State aud
the abolition Of the tribunal by
which the then incumbents were
appointed. AS the office con-
tinues to exist, however, official
acts performed by such incum ..
bents, assuming and claiming
authority by virtue of their origi-
nal appointments, will be treat
ed as the acts Of an officer de
facto, and VALID as to the public
until such time as their official
status may be determined by the
action Of competent authority
(Throop on Public Officers, Sees.
$50. 639.)
In accordance with this con-
clusion, proofs submitted and
papers completed before United
States Commissioners in office al
the date Of admission of the
State to the Union and there
after continuing to perform off
cial functions, viii be treated
and regarded as valid until such
time as the status of such off.
GERS has been considered and de.
termined by the United State;

that you are empowered to per.
form all official acts until such
