The Christmas tree was gener-
ally considered a success. Not
withstanding the stormy day
Thursday, a large crowd was out
and everybody received a pres
ent.
A Mexican woman living in the
bunk house" of the Santa Fe
railroad committed suicide on the
evening of the 23rd, by shooting
herself thro the heart. 1t was
reported that the man with whom
she was living got a little too
boisterous and, not being citi-
zen of the country, was told by
the officers of the law that, if he
would hit the hike" they would
let him go. So he hit the hike"
and left the woman on starva-
tion. John Power, the section
foreman, made up money to send
her to Belen, and sent one Of the
men to take it to her, when he
found her dead. She was buried
on Christmas Eve by the section
men with a little outside help.

Christmas was appropriately
observed in Estancia by. both the
Methodist and Baptist Sunday
schools with programs, trees and
treats. On account of the snow
storm a number having parts in

er, both attendance and pro-
grams were fine.
At the Methodist church q
program of recitations, acrostics
and songs was carried out, after
which all members of the school
and all othel children r.csaAt
were remembered with a brick"
of candy and nuts, and bag of
fruit.
At the Baptist church q good
program, including drills, cho-
ruses and songs, was rendered,
after which Santa Claus appear
ed to distribute the gifts from
the tree-candy and nuts.
At both churches those who
could not be present we're not |
forgotten, their presents having
leen sent to them.

G. B. Hambrick, the retiring
foreman was instructed to insti
tute legal proceedings against w
L. Johnson of Mountainair anc
Rafael Barela of fatigue, to en-
force the collection of the annua
road tax due for the years 191;
and 1914, and the secretary was
instructed to ascertain whether
or not the complaints could be
made before any justice of the
peace in the county.
G. B. Hambrick, county fore
man, submitted his report show
ing the amount of work done for
the year, which upon motion was
ordered filed.
Y, W. Lane appeared before
the board and proposed that he
and three of his neighbors would
drag, whenever needed, two
miles each of graded road ada
cent to their homesteads, provi-
ded the main road from Noun
tainair to Estancia was diverted
that way. On motion duly Sc
conded his proposition was ac-
cepted, and the foreman instruc-
ted to build the road on section
lines designated by Mr.. Lane.
The secretary was instructed
to write Hon. James A. French,
secretary of the State Highway
Commission, for an opinion of
the Attorney General, as to
whether or not this board can le-
galiy pay the expenses of Loren
20 Zamora and Librado Valencia,
two members of the Board of
County Commissioners, for their
trip to Santa Fe to attend the
Good Roads Meeting in that city
last august, and the secretary
was further instructed in the
event the opinion was favorable,
to draw warrants according to
claims already on file in his of
flee.

team, at the rate of $4,000 per
month, provided he is continued
on the payroll on the same con.
ditions after March 1st 1915, for
the balance of the calendar year
at the rate of $4,000 per month,
and in the event he is not so con-
tinued after the 1st of March at
the rate of $500 per month
from now until that date.
1t being deemed advisable to
rush the work of collection and
the road tax now due as

rick was employed to take charge
of the work in the eastern part
OF the county, upon the same
terms and conditions as apply in
the contract with Mr.. Hays.
On motion board adjourned to
