most deserved of all is that rendered to
our own Border Days Cowboy band.
The home bunch turned out with a
splendid band of Is pieces, drilled I'M
der the capable hand of DIR. Riggs, and
the manner in which the stirring
marches and tuneful selections were
rendered throughout the week brought
unstinted praise from all sides. In the
parades, particularly, was the cowboy
band at par excellence and no musical
organization could have made "a more
popular hit. The members of the visit

A residence that will add great
ly to the collection of beautiful
farmhouses that Duncan possess
es will be the handsome concrete
residence to be erected for Mr..
Merrill, on his property one
fourth mile this side of Franklin.
Mr.. Geo, Glenn is to be the con-
tractor and builder. Mr.. Clem
built the school house at York last
year, and Mr.. Merrill, who was
clerk of the board of trustees,
was so pleased with Mr.. Glenn s
work on that building that he
waited several months for Mr..
Glenn to be released from work
at Morenci in order that he might
secure his service on the new res
idence. Mr.. Glenn, in all his con-
struction, has never had dis
pleased patron, as he always gives
more service than the contract
calls for. Mr.. Clem is a carpenter
paperhanger, plasterer, bricklay-
er, and contractor of lifetime
experience. Any work in that
line done by him is sure to be
satisfactory. The residence of
Mr.. Merrill is to be 32x28. inside
measurement, of concrete blocks,
imitation of Pecos Sandstone.
I When completed, this residence
will have few rivals in the roman
tic valley Of the Gila. Mr.. Mer-
rill has on his farm one of the
most commodious barns to be de-
sired bv any farmer. All that
is necessary to unload hay is tt
drive to the front of the barn
a carrying devive, worked by
horse power, then lifts the hay
to any place desired.

One Of the reasons that Duncan
IS so strong commercially, is that
the cattlemen and miners from
rifles around consider this place
as their headquarters, The des-
irability of our city as a residence
town. is such that many of the
people owning property situated
nearer Lordsburg than to this
place, instinctively recognize
Duncan as the place for their
home. We offer the proof of
Duncan's wealth in the amount
of freight paid to the railway
company; also in the fact that
nearly ali Of our old established
citizens are well established con-
corning finances. No town in
the Southwest, of the population
of Duncan, has as much wealth
as we possess. Come to Duncan

shall We Send a Delegate
to Birmingham

A meeting Of the citizens of
Duncan was held at the Bank of
Duncan, on Wednesday night,
for the purpose of deciding weth-
erour town should send adefegate
to the convention of the National
Federation of Good Roads, to be
held at Birmingham, A ALBANIA.
Discussion on the part of various
attendants brought forth the
idea that it would be we'll to learn
more fully the exact purpose of
the convention mentioned. It
was the opinion of the majority
OF those present that a definite
opinion of the purposes of the
convention should be more fully
learned before deciding to send
a delegate from Duncan. The
unanimous decision was that
Duncan should send a represent
ative, should the occasion seem
to so require. AS stated IN these
columns last issue, Mr.. Frank
Billingsley has been invited by
Governor Hunt to represent the
IN
Duncan section at the convention
at Birmingham: Mr.. BiIlingsley
states tnat his mercantile busi-
ness is demanding his close atten-
ton at present, because of the
spring season. yet he is. willing to
act as Duncan's agent, because
of the good he might accomplish
for us. 1t is our opinion that
Duncan could lose nothing by
sending to Birmingham repres-
entative of her interests: for
whether the purpose of the meet
ing there is to determine upon
the route to be selected for the
Ocean to Ocean Highway, or
whether for the purpose of induc-.
ing congress to appropriate the
necessary finances, we surely
would not be amiss in having an
agent on the floor of the convent
ion. On the recommendation
OF Col. Lanneau, it was decided
to Wire the most prominent ad-
yocates of the good roads. move
ment, in regard to a more explicit
statement of what are the pur-
poses OF the Birmingham conven-
ton. kilograms were sent last
night to Mr.. Potter of Clifton
the head of the movement in the
state. A meeting will be held to
night at 7-3O, for the purpose of
rendering a final decision a to
whether we shall send a repres-
entative to Birmingham.

A great horse race will be that

Sunday. It will be a grand sweep

starts; applications for entrance
will be received by Jockey Ander-

say that the largest crowd ever
assembled at Duncan horse race
