Back from California.

S. A. Erdman. formerly of
Schell City Missouri. has just
returned from an extended visit
in Pasadena. California, and is
visiting with his daughter Mrs.
S. c. Curtis. He says that con-
ditions in California are deplor-
able, to say the least, and that
if it were not for the money
put in circulation through the
tourist travel. matters would be
worse. According to Mr.. Erd-
mann. thousands of tons of
oranges will remain unpicked
on the trees for the reason
that they have little or no com :
mercial value and that the east
is now flooded with unstable
California oranges.
His advice is to stick with
New Mexico.

visited Santa Fe yesterday.
Mr.. Wells states that the work.

will be increased 25 per cent.
The step is taken because of the
big increase in general business
and particularly the increase
from big orange shipments.

You frequently read of the

important matter and that is
the efficiency average of some

vice. The subject of this
sketch is Ben Moss, one of the
clerks in the Clovis postoffice.

by one OF the Inspectors whose
report shows that the efficiency

Frank S. Burns. of the

secretary of the Clovis Cham
ber of Commerce. A better
selection and one more accepta-
BILE could not have been made.
Frank is a rustler. a real ''livs

right man in the right place.
If the Clovis Chamber OF
Commerce does not take on a
new lease on life with Frank
Burns as secretary, then we will
miss our guess.

commissioners Back Up

The board of County Commits
sioners of Curry County have
done just as the News predicted
they would have to do. and that
is to back up on their land tax
valuations and have agreed to
set a new value. At a meeting
held in the Court house Tuesday
which was attended by large
number of farmers a n d the
committee of business men from
the Clovis Chamber of Com
merce, the tax rratter was dis
cussed with the result that the
Commissioners have submitted
to some extent to popular de-
mand and have agreed to reduce
the valuation placed on Curry
county land at the February
meeting to about one half. In
other words the new valuation
will be something like $500 or
$1,000 for land near Clovis and
from that valuation ran ging to
$500 or SO rs depending upon
the distance from town. They
offered as an excuse for first
setting the value at such a high
rate that they had called some
witnesses before the board and
got the ideas from them as to
the value of the land.
j. N. Parrett of near Texico
was spokesman for the farmers
and made it plain in no uncertain
tones that the farmers and land
owners did not propose to stand
for the values as first given by
the board. Alex Shipley advo-
Gated a reduction and said in
substance that the people of the
county demanded reduction in
the values placed on property
and also a more economical ad-
ministration of public affairs.
Commissioner Doughton who it
appears has had but little to say
about the proceedings o f the
board favored a reduction IN
values and in all expenses. 1t
appears that Doughton h d s
wanted to do the right thing all
the time.
Remember it was the News
that first brought this tax matter
to the attention of the public and
now the Commissioners have
had to reduce the valuation first
placed t o almost one half be
cause of popular demand. The
News does things when I h e
people will stand by us but we
cannot do anything single hand

New Railroad From Tucumcari to Midland via Clovis
Discussed With Tucumcar Delegates at
Chamber Meeting.

Inc prOpOSlIlon vi DuiluiHB q
new railroad from Tucumcari to
the Gulf via Clovis seems to be
getting in tangible shape. At
least the matter was discussed
with the Tucumcari railroad del
egates at the Chamber of Com
merce meeting Friday night to
the end that a committee was
named to meet with a like COM
mittee from Tucumcari and per-
feet the organization and secure
a charter for the Tucumcari.
Clovis and Midland railroad.
Messrs. C. H. Alldredge a n d
Charles Adair of Tucumcari rep
resenting the Tucumcari Com
mercial Club arrived in Clovis
Friday evening and discussed
t h e matter with tn e Clovis
Chamber delegates who could be
hastily summoned to the meet
ing Friday night. 1t was agreed
to appoint committees from both
towns who are to meet at Plains
or Grady at the convenience of
the Tucumcari delegation and
there to perfect the plans and
make the necessary arrange
ments as previously stated. 1t
is known. that Midland Texas
and the towns intervening will
lend their hearty cooperation
and that the large land owners
in Texas will give substantial
bonuses to see the enterprise
carried to a successful compile
ton. One progressive Tucum-
carl business man has offered
So, 100000 toward a $100. 900
bonus for the new railroad and
it is certain that several Clovis
property owners will do as well.
1t is the present plan, or at least
it has been suggested, to employ
a permanent secretary to be To-
Gated at either Tucumcari or
Clovis who will keep in touch
with all the towns along the
proposed road and will carry the
project to such a conclusion as
to make the bonds salable. Ne
gotiations will also be opened
with some railroad, probably the
Rock Island or Santa Fe to oper.
ate the line.
Concerning the matter t h e
rucumcari Call says:
Tits believed that a moderate
bonus can be easily raised here
when the road is an assured fact.
The Importance of the road
can hardly b e over estimated
from an econo mic standpoint in
relation to all-Quay-county. 1t
will mean that the almost mex
haustible coal supply at Dawson
will be moved through Tucum-
carl to the Gulf. 1t will mean
that the garden products and
fruits of the Pecos valley will
come fresh to our door. 1t will
mean that Tucumcari shall be-
come jobbing city of import
ance.

gressive neighboring city, Clovis
and the towns to the south to
the end that we may really

OLDHAM ELECTED MAYOR OF
CLOVIS BY LARGE MAJORITY
Entire Democratic Ticket Sweeps the Field with but
Little Opposition.

Tuesday was city election day,
and, although the weather was
to say the least most enclement,
many braved the storms of snow
and sleet to take advantage Of
that great American privilege of
casting their ballots for city Of
fcers. AS previously predicted
by the News, the entire demo-
cratic ticket was elected by a
urge and enthusiastic majority.
Although the socialist strength
was by no means not to be con-
sidered and they no doubt sur
prised many by their numbers,
still they failed to muster suf-
ficient strength to elect a candi-
date.
B. d. Oldham was elected
mayor for the ensuing two years
to succeed E. K. Hart. who has
removed to Muleshoe. Texas.
Mr.. Oldham received 1872 votes
against his opponents even 100,
but in the second ward he only
received a majority of five votes
and in the fourth ward a major
ity of four. A. E. Smith receiv-
ed a majority of 139 votes for
city Clerk.

on the 22nd when the members
will give a splendid musical
program Of new pieces and in

not the best in the state of New

people of Clovis who appreciate
their good music will give this
entertainment liberal patronage.
