The calls for the Republican
and Democratic county conven-
tons are before the voters, and
it is now up to them to see that
representative men are sent to
the conventions. Having had
due notice, no voter of either
party who has failed or fails to
attend the primaries and see to
the election of right men as dele
gates, can consistently complain
if things don't go to suit him.
Generally speaking it is the neg
lect Of voters to take the proper
interest which is responsible for
the nomination of unsatisfactory
candidates.

GOOD PROGRESS ON
DEEP WELL SCHEME

LII viz oSSP VCli lbcocSh SA>
committee having the matter ir
charge has been busy during the
past week arranging preliminar.
les, which with a proposition OF
such magnitude necessarily con-
sumes time.
Meetings have been held at
Moriarty and Mountainair, and
the proposition presented and eX-
planned to the people at those
places. The people of those
towns have manifested consider
able interest, and it seems prob
able that they will take hold OF
the matter and help. 1t is pro
posed to divide the valley into
districts, so that each district
can stand by itself, and yet work
with the others to a common end,
wells to be located in each dis
trict.
Meetings have been held also
at Willard and at New Home
school house. Willard people
are interested and may help.
The New Home meeting was
enthusiastic. The people there
are right behind the scherne and
purhing with will.
The bond to be put up by the
drillers, at first agreed upon in
the amount of 5000, and so
stated in last weeks issue, has
been raised to $40, 900 so that this
feature of the proposition is more
favorable to the people of the
valley and is as good as could be
asked.
The contract has been forlnu-
lated and sent to the Oklahoma
parties for their approval, and
upon approval it will be executed
and returned, and bond executed
and-sent here.
Meanwhile deeds and leases
have been formulated and will be
ready by the time the contract
and bond are returned, so that
in a few days matters will be in
shape for the execution Of deeds
and leases.
All the work is proceeding in
systematic, business-like way,
and it continues to look as if this
proposition will go through, pro-
vided we succeed in getting up
the land and leases asked. AS
before stated this part of it is
big job, and the owners will have
to be prepared to carry forward
this part of the work promptly in
order that the scheme may sue
ceed.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that
there will be 10 hitch in the pro
ceedings.
Let US all get busy and see
that this long desired and much
talked of deep we'll test is made,
A message has been received
from Mr.. Thomas stating that
the contract is approved with a
few minor changes. Also that
he is willing to let contract for
drilling, and urging haste, as he
wants TO complete one well be-
fore cold weather.
