Good Entertainment

The Santa Fe entertainment
given at the Reading Room last
Saturday evening by Prof. Wat
kins and Miss Hague, of Knox
College, Galesburg, Ills., was un-
doubtedly one of the greatest lit
erary treats we have had here.
The first number, the first
scene from the morality play,
Every Woman, " was presented
by Miss Hague, and so vividly,
that, in recalling it, one must i'm
agine that the entire cast was
present at the time. Miss Hague's
selections from childhood were
also splendid. The different i'm
presentations by Prof. Watkins
were of great interest to all and
were certainly we'll acted.
Most of the Santa Fe people are
now quite familiar with Knox
College and will remember the
Glee Club which made such a sue
cessful trip a few years ago,

ROAD BOARD MEETS
next WEDNESDAY

The County Road Board will
hold its monthly meeting next
Wednesday, February II, instead
OF this week, as the funds are not
now available, and it is the desire
of TIE board to pay the monthly
bills at this meeting, which it is
hoped can be done next week.
State Engineer French passed
through the city the first of the
week, and on being questioned
con :erning the matter, said that
read work on Ell Canine Real
would commence in this county as
soon as the funds derived by spe-
cial levy are available. This, ac-
cording to Chairman Kempenich,
of the county commissioners, will
be within a few weeks. Engineer
French has accepted the offer of
the use Of the county traction
engine and scraper for use on the
state highway, which will be built
by convict labor.

THOUSANDS WITNESS
BRIDGE DEDICATION
Citizens Band ofBelen Captivates Crowd
Oratory Flows All Afternoon

Hon. Jesus C. Sanchez, who for a
number of years held tbs position
of county school superintendent.
1t anyone knows what it means
to %aVel over poor roads, in MAX
inginecessary visits to all portions
of the county, certainly the coun-
ty superintendent Of ten years
ago, knew whereof he spoke.
While there is yet a great deal to
be desired, and in fact, only a
start has as yet been made on
ROAD building in Valencia county,
the5change is already noticeable
and the speaker promised much
greater things for the not distant
future.
The new bridge is 670 feet in
length, and consists Of five So
foot steel spans and nine 30-foot
wood spans. The contract for the
building was let on August 18th,
1913, to the El Paso Bridge &
Iron Company, the contract price
being $l4, $50. Work began on
the driving Of the piles about No
vember 18th, and a corps of work.
men has been kept steadily on the
job. While the bridge is now
pasaable for teams, the work is
not fully completed, but is being
pushed. On Monday several wa
gons drove across, coming to Be
len to trade, and at one time dur
ing the day five wagons crossed
in 4sasiek succession. This merely
is an indication of thenecessity of
the bridge to the farmers living
on the eastern side of the river.

MEMORIAL
TO THE LATE
hon. SOL LUNA
To be Placed in New County
Courthouse at Los Lunas
by Old-time Friends

According to a report from
Santa Fe, Architect Rapp has
turned over to Chairman Eugene
Kempenich, of the board of coun-
ty commissioners, and Judge NJ.
c. Mechem, a number of photo
graphs of the late Solomon Luna,
from which a relief portrait will
be made and placed in the new
county court house at Les Lunas.
The expense Of the affair is to be
contributed by friends of l..r.
Luna.
The portraits Of MIR. Luna were
obtained in q rather ingenious
manner, while he, as national
committeeman from New Mexico,
was attending the national Ee-
publican convention at Chicago.
Inc Albuquerque journal says.
The studies were made during
the last national convention and
are strikingly true to life. An
enterprising photographer had
taken a picture Of the convention
and the New Mexico delegation
and invited Mr.. Luna to look at
the proofs. Mr.. Luna went to
the studio and as he walked by
various cameras and under the
artificial light, his attention was
skilfully held, and the photo
graphs were taken without his
knowledge,

Belen news. (Belen, N.M.) 1912-1947, 1914-02-05


hundred Belenites, neighbors and
friends gathered at the new coun-
ty bridge across the Rio Grande,
last Sunday afternoon, to partici-
pate in the dedicatory exercises
of the new structure. Although
work had been rushed for several
weeks past, the laborers were
forced to put in a portion of Sun
day in order to get the job in
shape for the first wagon to cross.
A committee had been named
by the Belen Commercial Club
some weeks ago, to have charge
of the preparation and the dedica-
ton, John Becker, Jr., secretary
treasurer of the Valencia county
road board, having been named
as chairman of this committee.
That the committee had done it's
work of preparation and adver-
tising well, was attested by the
immense throng present, not only
from the immediate vicinity, but
from a number of miles both up
and down the river. The struc-
ture was gaily decorated with
bunting and flags, and an i'm
mense arch, WELCOME TO
BELEN" had been erected at the
east approach to the bridge. I'm
der this arch, stood the speakers
during the exercises.
Music for the occasion was fur
.nishedbythe Relen Citizen Band,
an organization, which has won
the hearts Of Belen people in a
peculiar manner during its short
existence Of less than a year.
That it is composed of young men
who are proud of their home town,
is proven in that the boys volun-
teered their services gratis for
this occasion. The public gener-
ally and the business men in par
ticular should not forget this at a
time when the Band boys need
financial encouragement, The
boys certainly added a great deal
to the program on Sunday.
An address of welcome was
delivered by Attorney M. C.
Spicer, in which the judge not
only spoke the feelings of the
people of this city in welcoming
the visitors on this special occa-
sion, but gave them the keys to
the city OF Belen, at any and all
times they might come. For just
twenty months, our neighbors on
the east side of the river have
been compelled to ford a treacher-
Gus stream, or go to Los Lunas, a
drive of about twenty-five miles
up and back, to visit US. Now
that a bridge has been provided,
it is hoped these neighbors will
come oftener and stay longer.
Hon. Eugene Kempenich, chair
man of the board of county com
missioners, told of how the people
of southern Valencia county had
been importuning the board for g
bridge during the past twenty
months, and how the board had
met with reverses in trying tt
grant the petitions, until at least
relief was offered. He urged the
people to forget selfish chickering's
and past differences, and work
for the greatest good to the great
est number. Just as the growth
and advancement of one portion
of a town or county assists ir
building up all portions thereof
} just so far the holding back o.
any one part, retards the progres:
of the whole. He urged the peo
: pie of the county to be broad
J minded and work shoulder t.
shoulder for county prosperity.
The value of good roads anC
good bridges was the theme O.

All of them sympathize deeply with

1t is believed that Cameron simply

Detective Was Here.
H. W. Brust, a detective represent
ing the Burns detective agency, was
here Saturday to take up the trail of
Cameron from this point. He visited
Palisade and this city and secured
photographs of Cameron and his
wife from The Sentinel to be used
in tracing the fugitives. He left on
No. l Sunday morning for the west.
He impressed me right from the
start as though he was every inch

Times. Before | ever met the man

them up because the credit retail

ences were o. X. Later he sent me a
letter asking II he could not get
checks and drafts cashed here.
sent him a letter saying we would
cash anything he presented. He new
er showed up to have anything cash
ed, but he obtained goods valued at
$119 which he never paid for"
I'VE feel as though we shouldn't
/ be censured too much" Mr.. Bohm,
member of the firm OF Bohm-Allen,
/ jewellers said when interviewed. He
certainly would have deceived the
elect If anyone could. He had a way
of insinuating himself into the good
graces of everyone he met We would

had asked it."
"If Mr.. Cameron was In Denver we
didn't know anything about IT, the
Rev. G. W. Lee. of the Colorado Bap-
tist Mission, said this morning. He
never showed up at Baptist head
quarters. In fact his dealings with
uss were very few and far between.
All his correspondence was terse-
almost Spartsn-like, His letters eel
