new BRIDGES Will BE
BUILT THIS YEAR
MORA ROAD AND HIGHWAY TO
WATRoUs TO HAVE PERMAN-
ENT CROSSINGS

The trip made by the state engineer
James A. French, members of the San
Miguel county road commission, and
a number of other highway boosters
to Mora, yesterday for the purpose Of
comforting with the Mora county com
missioners and road BOARD proved to
be most successful. The result OF the
excursion is that work will be started
in Mora on the building Of roads and
bridges that will place that county
among the leaders in progressiveness
in the state
The boosters left Las Vegas about
8 o'clock and arrived at Mora about
ii o'clock. They were met by a dele
cation of Mora, Wagon Mound and
Watrous people several miles from Mo
ra and escorted into town. at noon
a dinner was served in honor of the
visitors. Following dinner trip was
made over the Cleveland-M Mora road, af
ter which the boosters gathered al
the court house and attended joint
session Of the county commissioners
and road board Of Mora county.
The work done at this meeting in
cluded the following:
The state was authorized to build,
through the state engineers office, q
bridge over the Cebolla river on the
Las Vegas Mora road. This structure
is to be of concrete, and when com
pleted will aid materially in the com
pletion of a perfect road from Las We
gass to Mora, the Cebolla river being
the only one between the two places
which is difficult to cross at several
seasons of the year. -Four thousand
eight hundred dollars was turned over
to the state commission to be used as
the county's portion in macadamizing
three miles of bad road between Mora
and Cleveland
Ten thousand dollars was turned
over the state engineer as the
county's sDortion of the expense Of
building two bridges at the junction
Of the Mora and sapeiio rivers at wat
rous In addition to this the Mora
county people expressed themselves
strong for the improvement of roads
and willing to do all in their power to
continue the good work.
The value Oh the work transacted
at Mora can hardly be es-
timated at present. When all the
work is finished the results win speak
for themselves The bridge at the
crossing of the Cebolla river viii make
the Las vsEaasMora road an all-the-
year-round highway The work that
is to be done Oh the Cleveland Mora
road will be Of great value not only to
those two places but also to Las We
gas, while tns building Of the bridges
at Watrpua will be a work that has
been needed for a considerable length
Of time. The reason for the building
Of two bridges a that the Mora coun
ty commissioners wish to have q

.GLYNN WOULD REFORM
! new YORK DEMOCRACY
GOVERNOR OF EMPIRE STATE
HAS A CONFERENCE WITH
THE PRESIDENT

New York, Feb. 1OGovernor
Glynn returned to Albany today from
Washington confident Of the support
Of President Wilson in his plans to
reorganize the democratic party in
New York state. He carried also per
sonal assurances Of good viii from
Mayor Mitchell.
81 think" said Governor Glynn,
4'that from a political viewpoint the
state administration at Albany and
the national administration at Wash
ington will be found in full harmony
The plans which he laid before the
president at their conference yester-
day provide for reorganization Of the
party in the state, a new chairman OF
the state committee and efforts to put
the party in fighting trim for the
next state campaign.
The governor declined to discuss
the fight against Charles r. Murphy
and Tammany hall, but he left no
doubt of his wish to bring about a
complete change in the present com
plexion Of his party.
eThe president" he said, approved
of my plan of action. I had a very
satisfactory talk with him"
The tenseness of the political stu
alton was indicated here by the fact
that nearly every Tammany leader in
the city called at Tammany hall to
day to see Mr.. Murphy. They were
disappointed as he was not in today

OWEN TO MANAGE
SILVER CITY
TEAM
FREDDIE's RECORD WITH LAS We
GAS MARooNss GOT HIM
THE JOB

The reason why Silver City is called
the best business town in New Mexico
was made most apparent at meeting
Of the baseball fans Tuesday evening
at the chamber of commerce rooms,
says the Silver City Independent. The
rooms were crowded With representa-
tive citizens all eager with one pur-
pose in view, that the high standard
established by the ball club last year
should not only be duplicated this year
but thatall the errors taught by costly
experience last year should be obviat-
ed and that we have a clean champion
ship team managed on a strictly busi-
ness basis.
Dr.. Hyde medical director Of st. JOS
ehp's, acted is director. The result Of
the meeting was as follows:
First, it was unanimously agreed
that Silver City should have a player
manager, with absolute control over
the men. With this end in view Mr..
owen was unanimously elected to that
position. The town is indeed fortunate
in having Freddie Owen as manager,
who not only established such an en-
viable reputation last year as a base
bal artist but has as well won the con
fidence of the whole community fol
his proven ability as an executive and
as our ideal of a clean honest gentle
manly athlete. Silver City has never
seen Mr. Owen as a manager and per
haps it is not generally known that
before coming to Silver City he ex
pcrienced such success as manager Of
the Las Vegas team that 1t bordered
on pathos. The Las Vegas team man
aged by him was SO successful in
northern New Mexico that it was fore
ed to disband for want of teams that
would go up against it. However TO
such difficulty is apprehended here
this year for Hurley and Santa Rita
have already to our knowledge signed
.up very strong teams and Ell Paso is
Iaure to follow.
Second. it was decided that the play
ers this yea should receive a straight
salary with no split on the gate re-
ceipts. M. ]. Kelly was appointed
/ treasurer of the organization with in
struction to open up a full set Of
books. Also that an auditor be ap-
pointed to go over same every month
and that said books shall be open at
all times for inspection By any sub
scriber. That no money shall be paid
to any player save upon the written
order Of the manager and signed by
the treasurer. The subscriptoin pay
ments shall be strictly in advance and
beginning March Is and shall last six
months. However, if the gate receipts
as expected show a balance this year
this balance will he taken from the
final assessment Of the subscribers.

NEW YUM SiOJNs ENSf7ASGE
New York, Feb. 10-stocks moved
downward definitely today with no
effective support in any part Of the
list Traders were bearish, and the
influence of more general selling for
the short account was intensified BY
the liquidation in obscure issues.
In view of the fall Of leading shares
there was less Of disposition to sup
port the weak stocks. The selling
movement embraced stocks which sell
dom figure extensively IN the deanngss
such as Denver and Rio Grande. Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas and Merean-

volume towards noon, but the market
failed to recover and many declines
from / to 2 points were scattered
through the lists. Bonds we're irreg-

The market closed steady. Leading
