THE STATE FAIR

The 1914 New Mexico State
Fair premium book, now being
distributed is the best evidence
we have had that the annual fair,
under state supervision and even
with the small measure of state
support accorded it, has passed
out of the stage of a strictly
amusement enterprise and has
become a real state exposition,
bound to work for encourag-
ment of the development of our
resources. The premium book is
itself a pretty fair proof of the
extent and variety of the natural
resources of the state. There is
page after page of prizes, troph-
les. special prizes, ribbon awards,
and last but not least in impor-
tance to the farmers and stock
growers of the state, more than
$4,000 in cash prizes for those
who can get into the money win
ming divisions of the various Sec
tions. 1t is book which offers
opportunity for money making
to every farmer in the state and
a book which every farmer
should have. The book contains
full instructions for preparing
and shipping exhibits, rules, etc.
and will be sent free on request
addressed to Thos. Binkert, Sec
retary of the state fair commits

The editor of this paper has
during the past few years more
than ever before in his life been
impressed with. the fact that the
world is full Of generous big
hearted people who are ever
ready to minister to sickness and
distress, and has formed the be-
lief that nowhere else in the
world can larger proportion of
such people be found than in and
around Estancia. During that
period he has passed through an
experience which, mercifully, a
very large majority of persons
are not called upon to undergo.
The Good Samaritans of Estancia
have lightened the burden and
laid a debt of gratitude that can
never be repaid.

MRS. CONSTANT.
PASSES AWAY

On last Sunday at about one
forty O'Clock Mrs. ]. A. Constant
was relieved from years Of suf.
fering, death coming as restful
sleep. For some time her suf-
fening had been intense. all Of
which she bore most patiently,
her beautiful Christian lite hav-
ing gained the victory over death.
To her indeed death was merely
q transition with nothing to fear
and nothing to dread. Having
spent her whole life, so far as
health permitted in service for
others. she welcomed the final
summons.
Funeral services were conduct
ed by her pastor, Rev. R. E.
Farley at the Methodist Episcopal
church on Monday afternoon at
four o'clock. The Philomathian
and Woman's Clubs, of which
organizations Mrs. Constant
was an esteemed member, had
the church beautifully decorated
with flowers and plants, and the
members attended in body,
escorting the body of their sister
from the home to the church and
again to the depot, whence ship
ment was made to Clearfield,
Iowa. the old home, accompanied
by the sorrowing husband. In
terment will be made in the fam
lily plot beside the resting place
of the mother.
In his address Rev. Mr.. Farley
spoke touchingly of the beauti-
full life of Mrs. Constant, of her
care for her brothers and sisters
after the mothers death, and
her devoted life of service. A
quartette composed of Miss
Grimmell, Mrs. Senter and Messrs.
Kelly and Flesher rendered sew
eral selections, among them,
Asleep In Jesus" 1T Is Well
With My Soul" and my Ain
Countrie," all favorites of Mrs.
Constant. The large auditorium
was filled with friends who thus
showed their love for the de.
ceased and their sympathy for
Mr.. Constant.-P. A. S.

Chadwick is a member. There
are now four strong local or

of her mother she came into the
responsibilities of the rearing of
the younger children in her faith

possible.
After coming to Estancia she
united with the local church and
in her demise we have given
to the Church Eternal one of our
best beloved members. To her
last hour she engaged in earnest
prayer and her greatest regret

RESOLUTIONS

BY the Philomathian and Wo-
mans Clubs on the death of Mrs.
Bessie Constant.
Whereas, God in His wisdom
hath seen fit to call from our
midst one of our members, we
extend our sincere sympathy to
the bereaved husband in his sor-
row.
In the land of the blest she is
resting to-day,
And her soul is cleansed of all sin
of the way.
The gates of that land have
closed on her grief,
And the peace of the vision is
her relief.
No more pain will she suffer: No
sorrow is there;
But joy is for breathing in with
the air;
Like a sober old mantle her
troubles laid by,
And her soul spread its pinions
and scared to the sky,
Therefore, be it resolved that
a copy of these resolutions be
spread upon our minutes and a
copy be published in the Estancia
News-Herald.
E. Lena Jackson,
Secretary Philomathian.
Jennie G. Williams,
Secretary Woman's Club.

THE T|JERAS
CANON ROAD

Local roads officers are being
questioned a good deal lately as
to what has been done on the IT,
jeras canyon road" said a men,
ber of the Albuquerque local
highway association today. ''The
forest service has done it's work
there but the end of it is left
hung up so to speak, and there
is some wonder going around as
to when the county is going TO
do the work it promised to do
some time ago.
Several months ago, at a
meeting of the roads local, Chair
man John Beaven of the county
road board, promised that the
county would work the road from
the forest boundary to the edge
of the canyon at an early date.\
No work has been done and we
are at a loss to know what to tell
the people that ask us about the
completion of the work. I'd
like to see this taken up by the
roads association at an early
date and some steps taken to-
ward making the work done by
the forest service completely
available.
Chairman John S. Beaven, Of
the county road board, said this
morning that the county expect
ed to begin work on the Tijeras
canyon road sometime in July.
The county at present is busy
with the road from Old Albu-
querque to Los Griegos, and
wishes, for one thing. to get
that job off it's hands before
tackling the canyon road.
Mr.. Beaven said he would
shortly make a trip over the
stretch to be done on the Tijeras
road with member Of the for
est service familiar with the sur
vey made by the government,
probably James F. Mullen, super
visor of the Manzano-Zuni forest,
who was the engineer in charge
of the Tijeras canyon road work.
The forest service expended
some So, 300 on the canyon road,
regarding and relocating and
draining it, and improved it
very much. The county is to
work the road from the forests
western boundary to the edge of
the canyon. The county is now
working at Corrales, and is do
ing excellent work, according
to those who have inspected it.
The amount of work to be
done is estimated to cost about
$500 and it is said could be COM
pleted within a week by mod
erate-sized gang of men.
Work on the road to Los Grie-
gos, Mr.. Beaven said today,
would take a little time to finish.
1t was started Monday. 1t is the
intention to get out all the men
who are slated to work out their
road taxes, who number between
200 and Albuquerque Her
aid.
