WARNING

Swindling sometimes il as much
of an art as moving picture show
or any other carefully prearranged
performance. Tucumcari would
better watch out and not buy any
platinum from alleged refugees Bel
gium jewellers, for New York has
just been caught that way and it
was done so slick the victims and
their money were not only quickly
parted. but there was certain sur
gical cleanness about the job when
il was done.
Two men claiming 10 be Belgium
Jewelers. fleeing from their war strick-
en- land approached a New York
jeweler, told of their escape, and
said they could only bring away the
fewest possible belongings: but that
included 20 pounds of platinum which
they wanted to sell at the market
price or below, and they would take
5000 "a pound.

TAXES BEING PAID

The county treasurer's Office has
been flooded with letters and callers
and tax monies have been flooding
the Golfers. Monday morning a con-
tinual stream was being waited on
by Mr.. Pearson and his deputy, Mrs.
Carter. II was estimated that 1873
different receipts were written
which amounted to something over
ST., 600 were taken in. All last week
the treasurer's office was the busiest
place in town.
The farmers have had a splendid
season and taxes are being paid more
readily than ever before.
The delinquent tax list will be
considerable smaller and every thing
tends to show this county in the
best financial condition it has ever
been. Reports from the plains show
more wheat is being put in and the
farmer has faith in reaping "A good
harvest

A COSTLY BLUNDER

Somebody in the Office Of the
Secretary of the State, over in San
Ia Fe needs a good jacking-up.
The poll books for the recent
election, which are prepared by and
sent out from that office all over the
state, failed to provide the necessary
blank for the oath and Signatures of
the election officials certifying to the
correctness of the returns, without
which certificate the entire election
would be void.
To correct this blunder will cost
thousands of dollars besides il
throws "A shadow upon every man.
title in his office.
The poll books were sent back to
the county clerks with instructions
to attach a suitable blank and get it
signed by every one of the five cleo
ton officers in every precinct in their
OpuItllts'
As there are anywhere from 20 TO
80 precincts in a county, this was
rather large order" for the
county clerks.
Where they could do so, they used
the registered mail but in many
cases they had to get the names by
automobile or other conveyance.
Altogether. 1t was an expensive and
inexcusable piece of carelessness that
is greatly to the discredit Of the ad-
ministration of the Office Of Secre-
tary Of State and, as we said at the
beginning, somebody needs real
good lacking up, Obar Progress.

is expected that there will be a num-
ber Of entrants.
J. c. Jones will enter his Buick
which was No. Is in the Fl Paso to
Phoenix race, and expects to bring
home the bacon" Outside of tire
trouble his car made the best time
of any car in the race and was run
ming in fourth position when the ac.

HOUSE BURNED

Wednesday night about 7;30 fir e
was discovered in the roof Of Calvin
Jones residence in the southeast
part of town and when the alarm
was sounded the whole house was in
flames. The fire boys made a good
run and soon had the blaze under
control. but not until the building
and contents were practically de-
stroyed.
Mr.. Jones is a brakeman and had
been gone but few hours leaving
on a freight for Dawson. His wife
and little child had gone to a friends
TO stay all night, there being nobody
at home when the fire started. The
property was insured for about half
its value.

WAR TAX BEGINS

Denver, Novdmber 30. The far
reaching effects Of the European war
will be felt in small way by tele-
phone users, according to the Gn-
nouncement made here today by the
United States Internal Revenue De-
partment. The new federal revenue
tax on telephone and telegraph
messages goes into effect December
lst all over the country, and a gov
ernment tax of one cent will be col
lected for every message amounting
To fifteen cents or over.
Officials of The Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
operating in the seven mountain
states, have been busy for the past
month notifying exchanges in all
parts of the system of the manner in
which this tax is To be collected and
turned over To the government.
Notices have been sent each of the
250, 900 subscribers in the system and
placards containing the provisions
of the new law are to be posted in
every pay station. According to the
law, AL long distance messages
amounting to fifteen cents or over
are taxed one cent, whether from
private telephones or from public or
pay stations. Toll calls from private
telephones will be counted by the
company and taxed in lump sum
on the monthly bill. Pay station
customers will be required to drop
a penny in the coin box of the tele-
phone when their call is made.
There will be no tax on local mess
ages where no toll charge is made
The effects of the new law will be
interesting in this western country
where the number of pennies in cir
culation is proportionately small,
according to officials of the United
states Mint in Denver, all pennies
are coined in Philadelphia and ship
ped through the local mint and sub
treasury for distribution. No short
age of pennies is anticipated, as the
banks throughout the country have
deem supplied in the last few weeks.
In some cases, according to Off
cials of the telephone company the
cost of collecting the tax from pub
lie pay stations will exceed the tax
itself, but the new law is stringent
and requires the collection to be
on every call.

2.76 mile course at a rate of nearly
100 miles an hour. Oldfeld, was the
only driver who did not have TO stoT
at least once. His car was one OF
the lightest in the contest.

NEW MACHINE SHOP

Tucumcari may soon have a ma
chine shop where nearly all kinds of
repair work can be done instead of
sending TO Denver and Kansas City
for this kind of work.
This week we came near having ~
send our electric motor out Of town
TO have repairs made when by
chance 7. w. Smith happened into
the shop and knowing he WAS a
good mechanic we asked his advice
and was soon told that it could be
repaired in Tucumcari. He imme-
diately set to work to overhaul the
commutator. On taking the motor
apart IL was found that two prom
inent parts were broken and To get
new ones il would take several days.
We asked at several places 10 see
If the parts could be mended and
were told that il was nearly imposs-
ible until Chas. Haas took the job
IN hand and brazed the broken parts
making them as good az new. The
motor was soon put back together
and within four hours from the
time these men took the job in hand
we had our motor working in good
shape and turning out work as usual,
II is understood that these two
mechanics are intending to install a
machine shop with turning lathes,
drill press and other machinery
whereby they can do all kinds of work
which heretofore has been sent ou,
of town at great cost. They have
the ability to do the work and If
they are successful in getting the
backing they need they will make
good. We wish them success.

Hon II. B: Ferguson
Member of Congress

Dear Mr.. Ferguson;
II certainly is a bitter pill for me
to send you regrets that you were
not reelected to congress at the re-
cent election. for ! feel that you

when New Mexico defeated you for
Congress, we lost the best friend the

by recent issue of the albuquerque
Morning Journal that you will prob
ably be appointed to a Federal
Judgeship. This | hope to be true,
that is if you desire the place.
] desire at this time to urge that
the bill giving to each citizen a Sec
ton of land as homestead, which
bill you introduced in congress, be
by you again presented TO congress
at the coming session, and that you
possible to do so, procure its pass
age before your tenure of office ex-
pires, as we people out here feel that
If you do not get this bill through
that it never will be passed. OF
course, we wish 10 have you keep in
mind the amendments | have here
tofore suggested, as it is essential
that the bill be amended in the par.
ticulars have heretofore designated
have the assurance from the
delegation from West Va that they
will aid you in this matter. In this
connection. | ask you to speak to
Judge Moss in the house. or 20 Sen
ator Chiffon, and they will he glad
to aid you.
Hoping that | may hear from you
and that you will be able to get this
bill passed at this session, | am.
Very truly yours,

OLD TIME SCRAP

Fl. Sumner, N, Mex, Nov. 2S.
Hundreds of names have been placed
on the petitions being circulated in
Taiban, LaLandee, Fort Sumner and
the surrounding country, protesting
to the interior department against
the state selecting the greater part
of the 100000 acres recently restor-
ed TO entry in the Fort Sumner land
district adjoining these three towns.
1T is the time-old scrap over
again of the cattlemen and the nes-
tors for the pubic domain" says the
TT. Sumner Leader. IF the state
gets the land it vii be leased to the
cattlemen for grazing land, and If
settlers are allowed to file it means
an influx of new settlers and improv-
ed homesteads. Every land locator
and realestate agent in Eastern New
Mexico has big list of prospective
settlers wishing to'come in and locate
on the land. Local men have turned
away from ten to twenty-five settlers
a day who want to locate. The Lead
er office has list of seventy-five in
one bunch and one in another. from
Texas and Oklahoma farmers who
are evidently well TO do, and each
having a little bunch of stock, wish
ing to try the stock farming idea and
being attracted here by the cheap
lands and the fine crops raised in
this locality during the past season. {"

ELEVEN TO Be HANGED
At ONE TINE IN
ARIZONA

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. /, In all
probability, Arizona will not only
hang | murderers in one day, but
at the same instant.
At meeting this afternoon the
board of control, composed of Cover
nor George Hunt. auditor J. G.
Callahan citizen member Charles K.
Osborne, will consider the advisable
ity Of erecting inside the walls of
the state penitentiary special plat
form on which the II condemned
men, reprieved till December 10,
can be executed in the time il takes
TO pull lever.
Built into one Of the cell houses
Of the penitentiary is a concrete box
with trap, where several murder
ers have met their fate. Never be-
fore, however has it been necessary
to hang more than one man in a way
II has been generally assumed
that the fated II will be led To the
trap and executed one by one. War
den X. B. Simms. of the penitentiary
has declared this TO be impossible.
we certainly cannot find II exc
cutioners. nor is there a man who
can stand the strain Of springing the
trap IL times in succession, warden
Simms told the governor. Resides
no man can stand the strain of wit
Messing l. executions.
At least half an hour will be re-
quired for each execution. That
will mean five hours and half to
do our ghastly work il we conduct
the execution singly. The law re-
quires that the warden witness each
execution. certainly cannot stand
such a strain. would be a maniac
before il was half over"
This has not altered my determi-
nation to have all the executions on
the same day" governor Hunt de-
clared after his telephone conversa-
tion with warden Sims. THE peo-
pie have said that we shall have cap
itol punishment and will not grant
any further reprieves. There is to
be no subterfuge. II looks like we
will have to have all the hang ings at
the same moment. If so, the man
who springs the trap will know that
he did il. We have not found an
executioner yet. Several Of the
guards have told me they will quit
before they will spring the trap.
The governor is still examining
the transcripts of evidence in the
cases Of the II condemned men. He
has not stated whether the sentences
Of any of them will be commuted.

NICE SNOW MONDAY

December lst brought our first
snow. 1t fell most of the day but
the weather was mild and il melt

Those who have their wheat in are

The acreage is much greater than
last year and the prospects for
