Coming To
An End

The days of the big roundups
on the cattle range are fast becom-
ing extinct in the West with the
advance of civilization from the
east. Last week the S. M. Chase,
van Houten and Rich Bros. outfits
jointly rounded up the stock on the
range north and west of here, this
being what is termed a general
roundup, when everything on hoof
comes in for its share of trailing.
Other outfits have completed or
are in the process of rounding up
the stock. AS most of the range
is now fenced and cross fenced the
primitive cowboy with full regalia
is fast being relegated to the rear
to make room for the advancing
strides of the man with plow and
hoe. And, after all, it is far bet
ter that the primitive west is open
ed up to civilization, letting its
soil produce for what it was in
tended.

Many RattIesnakes

Of the state show tha, l.he rattle.
snake crop in the state is enorm-
ously large this year. Az Gallup
a-sman Mexican boy diedllast week
as the result Of being bitten in the
foot by a rattler.
In Quay county several head Of
stock died within the past few days
following the sting Of a rastler. Al
other places large numbers Of the
reptile are being killed. The rea-
son is not known why the snake
crop is so large this year. Some
attribute the crop TO the wetness Of
the season while others contend
that the reptile is driven west from
the plains.

Much Interest
Over Good
Highways

Much interest has been aroused
in the plan proposed by L. S. VIII.
son, president of the Northern
New Mexico Good Roads associa-
ton of Ration, for the unification
Of all the roads boosters in the
state in an organized effort to keep
the visiting tourists in New Mexi-
co instead of merely letting them
cross the state. This topic now
bids fair to rival the legislative
program in Importance at the COM
ing trio roads meetings which will
be held in Santa Fe.
Mr.. Wilson's plan is simply for
a united attempt to keep the scenic
historic and archaeologic points Of
interest Of the state, with the clim-
ate, and especially the summer
climate, before the eyes of the
touring public to the end that all
who visited New Mexico would be
anxious to stay longer and exper-
ience more of the climate and to
visit the points Of interest. Some
action along the lines indicated will
likely be taken at the convention.

Fishing Is Good
After High Water;
Good Catches

The receding of the spring floods
in the Cimarron and other streams
has made trout fishing a veritable
hobby among the more ardent fol-
lowers OF Isaac Walton. Many
availed themselves OF the oppor-
tunity on Sunday spending the day
in the mountains angling the spot
ted beauties from the small creeks.
The fiow OF water in the streams
has decreased rapidly since the re-
cent heavy rains the past few
weeks. Many good sized catches
have been made within the past
few days.

Dove Season
Opened July lst;
Closed Sept. 30

The dove season opened We'd
nesday, July 1 and remains open
until September goth. Many
hunters annually look forward to-
wards hunting these birds which
are that plentiful in this state.sTbe
state law on the protection of the
dove does not conflict with the fed
eral law on migratory birds such
as pigeons, according TO the opin-
ion OF the state game warden, who
holds that doves and pigeons are
two different types OF birds.

Rain Checks
The Warm
Weather

The hot weather was suddenly
checked in this section by the pre-
cipitation of local showers. The
ranchers are through with the first
cutting OF alfalfa and the rain did
not damage the hay crop to any ex-
tent, the most Of it being already
stacked or in the process Of baling.
The showers were not as heavy in
this section as they we're to the
south and east, but the amount of
rain that did fall added materially
to mature the crops at an early
date and give new life to the sec
ond growth of alfalfa.

LOrettO Defeats
CimarOn Team
In Good Game

The Cimarron ball team played
Loretto at Dawson, Sunday and
was defeated in a score Of 6 to 8.
The game was a crack one up to
the 9Th inning when the score was
2 to 2. Errors caused the runs to
be scored against the home boys,
which broke the spirit Of the play
ers.
The boys are playing a good
game and need support to tortiiy
themselves in the future.

TO ORGANIZE CLEANUP CAMPAIGN.
Another Public Meeting Will Be Held at
Court Room Tonight.

Tonight the officers and members who
are to serve on the various committees
tending to the cleanup and paint-up
work are to meet at 1880 in the city
court room. Assignments will be made
TO the different committees and chairmen
will be appointed, each one to have spe-
cial charge of the work OF his respective
committee.
Friday night the officers appeared be-
fore the mayor and city council in the
council chamber. Mayor Ward gave his
hearty endorsement to the plan. He as
sured the officers of the readiness of the
gentlemen of the council if they could be
OF any assistance. To show his real zeal
at the idea, the mayor stated he would
dig down and be a willing contributor.
Mayor Ward thinks the work would lend
encouragement to the idea of the sys-
tematie garbage plan, which is at pres
ent being looked into by the officers of
the board of health, assisted by the spe-
cial aldermanic committee, composed of
Aldermen keast, Hoban and Bruce.
In behalf of the city council, Mayor
Ward thanked Thomas Magner of Bur-
lington for appearing before the meeting
Mr.. Magner gave detailed survey of
the work as it was managed by the diff.
ferent committees in Burlington. He
presented for examination literature that
had direct bearing on the campaign in
that city. IL was made clear by him
how the same method could be employed
successfully in Barre. An adjournment
was made to the city court room, where
the officers worked further with certain
matters among themselves.
AS far as the rubbish pile and tin can
dump, etc, are concerned, the city beau
tiful idea for Barre is no longer to be
a dream. What a few who are interest
ed in the attractiveness of their city
have started out TO accomplish is not
able undertaking and it is certain now
to be carried through with eclat.
At the close of the meeting tonight,
it is expected that each committee will
know exactly what part of the work it is
to set about. Then for results-with
your assistance.

on 1000 gravestones at Gettysburg?
And who were they who went barefoot
in the snow and starved with Washing
ton in Valley Forge? The common peo-
pie, most OF them. the toilers for daily
bread, they who give all when they give
aught, because they have not enough to
divide.
"They but mark themselves as calnm-
niators OF the poor who protest that
