CHAMBER To
CLOSE YEAR
OUT Of DEBT
All Local Bills Paid Today; Other
Obligations 10 be Met in a
Short Time.

The Chamber of Commerce last
night authorized the payment of all
local obligations at once, and within
the next few days all other bills will
be met. During the past two years
the chamber has not only paid every
bill as II was incurred, but met many
of its old obligations, which it had
inherited from former administers
tions of the organization.
This year, in spite of the extraordi-
nary expenses incurred by the county
division fight, and the Midland Trail
work, the chamber was able to make
large payments on its bills. One of
the items which will be cleaned up
shortly is back salary obligation
owed to former secretary.
The state of Utah owes the Mid
land Trail Association considerable
amount for work done on the Utah
end Of the road. As soon as the nee
essary tape is unwound the money
will be received and then the asso-
citation will pay to the Chamber of
Commerce sum (which was borrow
ed to meet the emergency some time
ago. This Will finally clean up all
the outstanding obligations of the
organization.
Last night the directors decided to
strongly urge on the annual meeting
the necessity for maintaining an or
ganization. The form of the organ
ization Will be left wholly up to the
members of the chamber, but the di-
rectors will recommend that no rad
cal changes be made in the methods
of work. 1t is possible. however,
that the executive work will be plac-
ed in the hands of committee who
shall receive compensation, and the
running expenses of the organization
will be confined to the salary of a
stenographer or assistant secretary.
The employment of regular secre-
tary may be delayed until the H.
nances of the chamber are better able
to maintain the expense.

Oh. life is fair at the break of day
As the sun climbs up the eastern HILL
And the flowers are sweet along the wal
We gather with Law ish hands. until
We find the hills grow rugged and Steep
And shadows across the pathway creep
And life at noontlde is not half bad;
Sure we have learned lesson or two
Have bought our experience gay sad.
And paid our toll in passing through
The little gate beside which stands
Old Father Time, with outstretched hands
But when the light be gins to wane,
And shadows deepen around our way
What does 1t matter, the loss or gain?
What does 1t count, our work or play

Tell me, what is back OF all?

santa FE ROAD
is NOT SO
BAD
so SAYS A. L. WESTGARD UPON
HIS ARRIVAL IN AL5UQUER-
QUE YESTERDAY

When he arrived in Albuquerque
yesterday morning A. l. Westgard,
vice president and director Of the
transcontinental highways Of the Ma
tional Highways association, stated
that the road between Las Vegas and
Santa Fe was in excellent condition.
All through his trip through northern
New Mexico Mr.. Westgard has been
warned Of this read and the general
opinion Of Las Vegas residents was
that the road is terror. This idea is
entirely wrong and Mr. Westgard,
WHO has Travelled over more miles of
road than any local tourist will ever
travel perhaps in a life time, says the
road is IN good condition. In regard
to the condition Of the roads between
Las Vegas, Santa Fe and Albuquer-
que, Mr.. Westgard was quoted in the
Albuquerque Herald:
Il found the roads north Of here
in good shape all the way" said Mr..
Westgard, Though we were detained

| can say this. if you keep your roads
in as good condition as the other
routes you need never fear but that
you will get as much traffic as any

selected for official approval You

interest which cannot be found else

nav YoRK srocK EXCHANGE

New York, Oct. Although move
ments of stock during the morning
were uncertain, with several reac-
tions after the opening rise, the mar
ket gradually grew steadier, on a
level which showed general gains for
the leaders. Large offerings of Steel
made less impression on the market
than yesterday and the belief that the
shorts were in danger of oyer-extend-
ing their holdings, caused more con
ident buying.
Steel was forced under yesterdays
low point, but subsequently moved up
with the other leaders. London bought
stocks here.
In spite Of the improvement in
tone, however, buying was not ag-
gressive, and trading grew dull as the
noon hour approached.
Bonds weer irregular. The favor
lite speculative stocks advanced dur
ing the noon hour. Union Pacific
reached a new high price for the day,
and Reading, Steel and Amalgamated
rose to about the morning top quota
tions, but otherwise the market was
virtually good.

forests, Practically all Of the nation
al forests used extensively for graz
ing purposes are within the II states
extending east from the Pacific coast
known as the "far western group"
These states contain, according to
latest reports, S,546,OOO cattle, 2,S1O.-
600 horses and mules, and 2S,366,OOO
sheep. The national forests support
in these states II per cent Of the to-
tai number OF cattle grazed, S.4S per
cent of horses and mules, and 275
per cent Of sheep.
It is estimated that the annual pro-
duct Of these animals is 100000 head
Of beef cattle Of various ages aud
grades and 100000 head Of lambs
and mutton sheep
Since the average net meat weight
Of beef animal is 515 pounds, OF a
lamb 81 pounds, and Of a sheep 81
pounds, the stock grazed on national
forests in the II far-western states
produce annually about 155,000,O 900
pounds Of beef and s12,OaO,OOO pounds
Of mutton. In addition, 1t is said the
wool grown totals 55,OOO,OOO pounds,
hides approximately 100000 in num-
Der, and pelts 100000.
This output, according to the forest
service, does not involve any mate
rial sacrifice Of forest or watershed
protection or permanent forage pro-
ductiyity on the national forests. The
system Of range management applied
by the government has proved, it is
claimed, effective and simple, and the
quality and quantity Of the national
forage crop is said to be improving
each year.

Completely by Surprise.

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 15.-The city of
Juarez. opposite here, was captured
this morning by Rebels.
The Rebels, numbering seven thous.
and, were led by General Pancho Villa
and General Perrera. The Constitu
tionalists arrived in trains, thought to
carry Federal reinforcements, and pre-
pared for fight undiscovered. The as
founded Federals were assembled and
answered the first fire, but were SO
completely demoralized by the attack,
they offered no serious resistance. The
city surrendered at five o'clock, two
hours after the assault began. The
losses on either side are not known,
but are not believed to be heavy.
Bullets fell like rain In Ell Paso, and
three Americans are reported killed in
Juarez.
United Etates soldiers were hurried
ly rushed to the river front, and pre-
vented Americans crossing the river.
Juarez is the most important port of
entry in northern Mexico.

SAM HOUSTON NORMAL
SUFFERS FIRE LOSS

Huntsville, Tex, Nov. 15.-The gym.

Houston Normal were destroyed by
fire last night Both buildings were
frame structures. The loss is estimated
at $1,000 on the gymnasium and $500
on the music hall. About $1,000 insur.
ance was carried on both buildings.
Convicts from the penitentiary did val.
liant service in fighting the flames.
The origin of the fire is not known
Flames were seen shooting from the
gymnasium about $3.50 o'clock tonight.
The city and school fire departments
were called, and these were assisted
by the fire department from the peni-
tentiary. The wind was blowing the
flames toward other school buildings
located near by, and 1t was in fighting
these tapping flames that the convicts
proved themselves worthy fire-fighters.

CORRECTION

The Eagle was in error yesterday in
stating that the young man arrested
in the residence section of the city and
found with pisotl, was in the city in
the early part of the night. He came
to Bryan on business on the 2:19 night
train from Hearne. When seen by the
officers in the city, it was after the
arrival Of the night train, and there
is no question but that he was directed
to the Miller House to secure room,
but failed to find it, and was arrested
block or two beyond on the Interna-
tional and Great Northern track.
There was absolutely nothing against
the young man except the pistol
charge, and he claims to have been ad-
vised to bring it by an official of
Hearne for whom he worked. The
whole affair was most unfortunate ana
The Eagle gladly makes this state
ment in order that no injustice, even
though unintentional, be done the
young man.

thought him attacking Chihuahua
Thursday and rushed reinforcements
there. He never really pressed Chihua-

transport his troops secretly to Juarez,

appearance Of an attack and reached
Juarez just at the time the Federal
troop trians we're expected there.
