At the Illinois next Friday Miss Rose
Stahl viii be seen in her new part of
Maggie Pepper" in which New York.
Chicago. Boston and other cities have
endorsed as a worthy successor of Pa
tricia O'Brien. Charles Klein's piece
is called comedy and the remem-
brance OF the spectator for the play is
that it has many bright lines and com.
ic situations, but underneath it all is
the sense of the very human story of
the department store girl. This story
Is emphasized by the acting of Miss
Stahl, for she makes Maggie Pepper a
very real. genuine woman whom one
might meet at any time in the trans
action OF business with one of the big
city department stores.
In this part, without bubble, Miss
Stahl does the best acting of her ca
reeE and it is acting of such high or
der as is seldom seen on our stage.
II competent critics are to be credited.
And the fine acting is not all done by
the star, for the Henry Irving estate
has surrounded her with a company of
players of exceptional worth. John s.
Robertson. Lillian Claire. Mabelle Adj
ans. Percival T. Moore, Max REYNOLDS

their part in making Maggie Pepper,
one of the best plays produced in 1

this week purchased a 8 foot John
Deere binder and 1000 pounds of
twine from the Lail Supply com
pany, with which to harvest their
large fields Of grain on the Miami

Crop conditions on the tract are
exceedingly favorable this year and
the farmers are highly elated aver
the prospects for large yields OF
grain. alfalfa and forage. Besides
growing grain the farmers on this
tract are dairying extensively,
vital factor in the upbuilding Of
farming community.

The Maxwell Irrigated Land Co.
was recently purchased by new
company, headed by John F. Vail
OF Pueblo. The deal has been
pending for several months, but
not until last Friday were the final
papers executed. Whether or not
a sweeping change is to be made
in carrying the affairs Of the com
pany is not known.
Mr.. Vail and his associates are
successful business men and will
without doubt apply the same bus

cessors in making the Maxwell
tract one of the most substantial
farming communities in the state.
w. A. Matlock, for three years
general manager of the company,

CiiInarrOn
Canon In
COIOrs Now

With this week the Cimarrou
Publishing company completed the
printing Of series OF postal cards
in five colors OF Cimarron Canon
views which are for sale at the
stores in this city. This series OF
post cards consist OF eight views
OF the canon and will be filling a
long felt want. Heretofore it has
been impossible to purchase color
ed post cards OF the canon and this
series is but fair start in printing
additional cards in the future.
To give the public an idea what
it means to execute colored post
cards, it is not out Of the way to
state that each card must go
through a press costing $1,000 fve
times to bring out the color effects.
-Four distinct color plates are used
for each view, and they themselves
represent a large investment
This work at this time is not be-
ing duplicated at any place 10 the
state and Denver is the nearest
city where color plate printing is
attempted.
These cards the acme of quality
will be for sale at all leading deal
ers in the county and along the
400 mile circle drive at two for FIVE
cents.

County Bridges
Improve Traffic
Since Completed

The 90 foot concrete and steel
bridge over Grow Creek on the
Cimarron- Ration highway was COM
pIeted last week, and for the first
tims since year ago last June the
travelling public can pass over
without fording the creel. The
new bridge is supposed to with
stand the usual spring and summer
treshets, being fortified with con-
crete abvtments, a cement flooring
and three loot concrete railing.
The new concrete bridge across
the Van Brimmer was completed
the FIRST Of this week. It was con.
structed along the same lines as
the Crow Creek bridge. having q
"a foot span. With the compile
.iod of these two bridges, traffic
can be conducted along safe lines
and undoubtedly will increase as
road and weather conditions i'm
prove.
The Cima.ro and Ration road
has been almost impossible for
more than year past and there is
abundant satisfaction felt since the
completion Of these important
structures on the Santa Fe Trail.

e To Ii KINGDOM oF coLFAx,
Known To
Kill Weeds

A new departure in the eradica-
ton Of obnoxious plants and weeds
is discovered by Judge Remley Of
this city which will augment the
determination Of weed and other
plant pests and incidentally amel-
iorate the appearance OF the town
with but little expense.
Judge Remley threw out holly
hook seed in his yard to expert
ment as, to the feasibility of the
flower in killing obnoxious weeds
and plants The result Of this ex-
pertinent has proven to be beyond
reproach in doing away with un-
slightly and disease spreading
weeds. The growth of this flower
is much more rapid than weeds
and when once allowed to bloom
spreads rapidly as the seeds are
carried in different directions by
the fall winds. 1t does not winter
kill from frost and is the first to
grow in the spring.
1t would be advisable for the
town board to expend a small sum
for hoIlyhock seeds and plant it in
all parts of the towh, especially so
in the arroyas where the weeds are
rampant at this time, and in doing
SO, dual purpose would be ac-
complished, the exterminating Of
disease growing plants and the
beautifying of the city.
While the cutting of weeds is a
potent factor, the growing Of holly-
hook has also its charm and the
satisfaction Of doing big job with
little effort.

Dispute Over
Sale Results
In Murder

The killing OF William Frazier
by Jack BidwelI at Taos last week
came near being a double tragedy.
Tommy Holder, Ir., was standing
nearby when the two men fired at
each other and the bullet which
passed through the body OF Fra
zier also hit the boy in the left
side.
Frazier insisted that Bidwell va
cate the cabin on the partnership
property and permit an employe Of
Frazier to occupy il. Frazier
brought along the emgloye and de-
nanded possession which Bidwell
refused. Frazier said, "I'l see
about that" and stepped to his wa
gon and got a revolver. Bidwell
entered the cabin for his gun, Fra
zier covering the door. Bidwell
stepped out Of side door and fred
before Frazier could swing his
gun.
The killing it IS said was the re-
suit Of a quarrel dating back sew
eral months. 1t is claimed Frazier
gave Bidwell and A. c. Probert
two year power of attorney to sell
the mines in which the men were
interested, each to get one third.
The property was sold to a Boston
outfit for $4,000. After the FIRST
payments WAS made Frazier IL is
said declared he was crazy" when
he made the contract and wouldn't
stsnd by it, whereat the case went
into the district and supreme courts
which ruled against Frazier, hold
ing the sale valid.

Road Machinery VIII
Be Put On Display
AT The Convention; Men Of Repute
To Participate In Discussing the
Construction Of Highways.

1t IS very likely that the annual
meeting of the good roads associa-
tion at Santa Fe will be featured
by display Of modern road max
ing machinery. President Francis
E. Lester Of the state highway Of
hcials association has requested
about twenty OF the prominent
manufacturers of road making ma
chinery to send exhibits to the an
nual meeting of his organization,
an event which takes place the sec
ond day of the meeting. and some
promising replies have been receiv-
ed.
Those manufacturers who do not
care to send exhibits are being
urged to send representatives to
discuss road building with the
members Of the association. AS
this organization comprises all the
possible buyers OF road machinery
in New Mexico it is likely that the
requests will be acceded to.
A number of prominent railroad
officials will attend the coming
meeting Of the good roads associa-
ton, hearty response having been
received to invitations sent ont to
them a few days ago. 1t is yet too
early for all the replies to be in
but among those who have promis-
ed to attend if nothing unforeseen
arises before the date of the meet
ing are c. H. Bristol, general sup
erintendent and Pred c. Fox, gen.
eral manager, both Of the Santa
Fe system.
Prominent officials Of all the 9TH
er systems having lines in New
Mexico have been asked to attend
the meeting.

No Friction
In G. 0. P.
Ranks Here

There is practically little or no
friction between the two factions Of
the Republican party in Colfax
county is the report Of political
leaders who have an eye open for
party harmony in the present cam
paign. Party harmony is the one
watchword and the policy OF watch
full waiting is being tenderly antic-
ipated by the leaders.
The chairman of the Republican
county central committee, Z. c.
Champion, will soon issue a call
for precinct caucuses to elect dele
gates for the county convention.
No one has been mentioned as yet
to make the race from this precinct
for the lower house to succeed Mr..
Martinez, democrat, and it is very
doubtful whether any names will
be mentioned until the day Of the
caucus.
Practically no interest is shown
in politics in this section, but as
yet there are three months left in
which TO arouse enthusiasm.

Where Should The
Bib Of An Overall
Be Worn, Question

Should the bib OF the bib over
alls be worn in the front, in the
rear, on the right side or the left
side1 This was the important
question discussed BY Quentin
Roosevelt, son Of Colonel Roose-
yelt with storekeeper at Gallup,
where Quentin went to get his out
fit for hunting trip into western
New Mexico and Arizona. He was
the guest Of friends a few DAYS
while laying in his supply Of chuck
and ammunition for his trip.
Among other things needed was
a pair Of overalIs. Despite his
distinguished fathers attitude on
mollycoodles and all that pertains
thereto, Quentin wanted a pair
with bib. A spirited controversy
ensued as to where the bib should
be when you get the overalls on.
After it had been clearly shown
that wearing the bib under the arm
would be bound to result in side
stepping on the part OF the wearer
Of the oyeralls; something which is
irowned upon in the Roosevelt
family, Quentin decided to wear
the bib in front. Il is understood
that the obiebs Of the bib is to pre-
vent spatlering Of gore on the shirt
front in hand to hand combata
With mountain lions.

COnsulnptiveS Advised
Not To Come Here
Lungers Not Financially Fixed Are
Advised To Remain Home For
The Beneficial Treatment.

Realizing that the southwest is
confronted with a grave problem
in the INDECENT consumptives who
are flocking to the state, attracted
by the large relative percentage Of
cures made in this climate, the
health departments Of the associat-
ed organizations Of the state are
making every effort to discourage
from coming to the southwest those
who are without the resources to
effect cure in the proper manner.
Neither are those advised to come
who have no possible chance Of re-
covery.
Experience has shown that while
isolated cases have been cured
while working or roughing it, a
large per centage Of those who
have come to the southwest in the
past, under the necessity Of work
ing for a livelihood, would have
been better off had they remained
at home where they could have had
the care and attention of friends
and relatives. While there can be
no question Of the efficacy of this
climate in the cure Of tuberculosis,
one who must choose between a
poor climate with care and atten-
ton, work in a good climate, with
out hesitation, elect the former.
The organized clubs OF the state
are also sensible OF the fact that
the INDECENT has demoralized labor
conditions. When placed in COM
petition with healthy labor, he is
usually willing to work for a mere
pittance, and the employer has
been in no way the gamer, for the
reason that such labor is on an av-
erage less than SO per cent eff
cient.
In the publicity work that has
started it is pointed out that, while
the influx Of consumptives to the
state is due to many writer's who
have exploited the climate OF the
southwest, tney have in many in
stances been too optimistic and
raised false hopes in invalids whose
conditions are hopeless. While
remarkable cures have been made
here, they have come to those who
have been financially able to secure
for themselves the best OF treat
ment and care over a long period
Of time.

The numerous reports from the White river valley that water has been struck on many creeks where meu have been sinking should not dampen the ardor of the genuine prospector, says the Dawson News. The fact prospects were found on the rim on several creeks, and the presence of gold de- tected in small quantities in many lo- calities, indicates that the White is not outside the great northern gold belt. Somewhere in that vast valley must be gold in quantities worth retaining.
 The Chitina Leader has it. all figured out that a true booster is one who boosts for the community in which he lives, but in Alaska true booster is one who boosts for all Alaska. Our needs are practically all the same. Our particular location will have something to do with our particularizing in boost ing. To one interested in Alaska, he should boost for his home community first. then if another community should receive the coveted prize, his boosting should not wane, for what benefits one community will ultimately benefit the entire community.

 A few weeks ago there arrived in Edmonton, Alberta, John c. Knox, an employe of the Hudson Bay company, who had been stationed in the northern country, on the very border of the Arc tic circle, the last 29 years. He came to visit the friends of his boyhood days and get into touch with modern com mercial and industrial methods. At the time of his leaving Edmonton the population was less than 50, and on his return he finds it with better than TO- GOO. Knox went through the town in 1878. The Red river OK cart and dog teams of that time he found had dis- appeared, and high power touring cars and electrically propelled street cars in use. Likewise, the Saskatchewan river was forded at the time or crossed by rope ferry, that is also changed, and the river is now spanned by structures of steel. Knox says that the fur catch of the North will reach the enormous figure of s2OOoOO0 this year,
