people These Progressives down
there at Washington have set this
whole country by the ears-not even
any more. The suspiciousness of the
average man is getting to be almost
criminal, that's what 1t is. The pub
lie thinks every man with money is
a rascal The public is damnably un-
grateful. Look what we have done for
this country, this little set of men sit
ting right here-what we've built for
them, what we've paid out to them for
wages! What are we getting in re-
turn? They envy us our daily bread,
and by the Eterral! they'll come near
putting us where we can't get that
much longer! Look at the railway

MOVE NEXT WEEK

Next week White Bros. will
move their ladies furnishings and
dry goods department into the
room now occupied by the Nc
Murtry grocery, and their gents
furnishings department into the
room now occupied by the ladies'
department.
The store room occupied by the
McMurtry grocery belongs to the
White Bros. and it is their inten-
ton to make their store one of
the best in the Arkansas valley
as regards looks, quality, ETC..
and the rooms will be repainted,
new fixtures and other improve
ments added.
An archway will connect the
two departments as heretofore,
while many new features will be
added to all departments.

GROW BEANS.

Experiments in bean. raising
which have been conducted in the
valley. especially in the Fowler
district, prove conclusively that
beans will be found to be one of
the big crops, both in the dry and
irrigated sections. if the farmer
will only see fit to enter same.
We have it on reliable author
ity that there is going to be a
market right here in Holly for all
the beans that may be grown,
also that threshing machine es-
pecially adapted to handle the
crop will be brought here, and
local men are going to have a
stock of good seed beans i'm
ported.
According to the leading agri-
culturists the state of Colora-
do should be one of the banner
states in the production of this
crop and we believe that our far
mers will find it to their advan-
tage go into this proposition in
a thorough manner.

RAISE OVER 500

The base ball committee, L. r.
Aplin and Robt. E. Wilson, called
upon some of the business men
Monday in regard to the base ball
donation, and met with liberal re-
turns, over$10O being subscribed.
The money is to be used in
getting supplies for the team,
etc, and with this fine start the
team will be able to get through
the season without going into
debt, as has been done hereto
fore.
The first practice game is called
for Sunday afternoon, 2 O'Clock
sharp, when all persons desiring
try-out are requested to be
present at the local grounds.
There is plenty of material here
for a real good team-and we
are going to have one.
Several business men were
overlooked by the committee
Monday but they will be given an
opportunity in few days to get
their names down on the roll
of honor.

looking at it solely from the posi-
tion of being a show those who
witnessed same were given the
opportunity of seeing capable
man and women fill all their parts

MAY ESTABLISH
SOUTH SIDE ROUTE
People on South Side VIII Fur-
nish Large Quantities of
MILK for Factory.

For several weeks parties here
have been working toward the
end that a milk route be estab-
lished from Holly to the Webb
section, So that the farmers in
that section would be able to get
their milk To the Helvetia con-
densary. and at the present it
seems very likely that same is
assured.
There are a large number of
COWS in this section and at the
present the district is in such a
condition that it is practically i'm
possible to get their milk shipped.
The haul is far too long for the
producers and the only possible
way to assist them is to get an
auto route established, the milk
may be gathered at the different
stations and brought into Holly
every morning.
Mr.. Berry, of the Commercial
club, was in Lamar last Friday
to.confer with the Helvetia people
regarding this route, and Mr..
Myers informed him that the
company would go into the matter
at once, and in a short time would
send a representative here to go
over the district and see Just
what could be done.
1t is estimated that there are
125 cows in the district at present
that would furnish milk, and
larger number could no doubt be
obtained.

BIG PIANO CONTEST
SOON TO CLOSE
Only Few Weeks Yet Remain
for Some Fortunate Lady to
Win Beautiful Plano.

The Appel piano contest is
drawing to close and excite
ment is becoming intense, all the
contestants being within a very
few votes of each other and prac-
tically all the votes being turned
in each week, so it is just
matter now of who is the best
hustler in the vote getting line.
The big contest closes on the
night of April 11th, and the
lucky person will soon know the
result. The handsome instru-
ment would grace any home in
the valley and the fortunate win
ner will have an instrument that
will last for years.
The beautiful tone of the instu-
ment makes it only the more de-
sirable, the handsome wood finish
and the certainty that it is an in
strument that cost $40O shows it
is a valuable prize, and friends of
the various contestants are doing
their share toward seeing that it
will be awarded to their favorite.
AS and inducement to the var
ious contestants The Chieftain is
going to allow 5000 votes for
each dollar paid us on subscrip-
ton by the SECOND of next
month, and those who will work
will be able to add many thous-
ands Of votes to their count by
calling on their friends. The
people generally subscribe for
the Chieftain but there are some
who are not as yet subscribers
and they will gladly help you in
your cause if you ask them so to
do.
1t is nearly the finish and it is
up to you to do your part if you
wish to own this beautiful instru-
ment. You could proftably de-
vote the remainder of days elaps-
ing before the close of this con-
test by soliciting subscription to
the Chieftain.

FRED T. McAN1NcH

Fred 7. McAninch, a nephew
of John Wilson, who resides about
four miles South of town, passed
away last Saturday, death being
caused by tuberculosis.
Mr.. McAninch came here sew
eral months ago hoping that the
climate would prove beneficial but
despite the fact that everything
that kind hands could do for him
was done, death was the victor.
He was born in 1888 and is sur
vived by wife, who was with
him at the time Of his death.
The body was shipped Monday
to the old home in Coatsville, Ind,
for interrment, a brother coming
here to accompany the young
wife on her sad journey.

STILL TAKING TESTIMONY

w. L. Hartman, of Hartman
and Ballreich returned yesterday
from Garden City, Kansas, where
he has been taking testimony in
the suit brought by certain in
terests in Kansas against water
rights in the Arkansas valley. So
far the greater part of the evil
dence taken is in favor of the
Colorado rights. While the TAX
ing of testimony in this celebrat-
ed case has been going on now
for many months, it will be fully
a year before it is completed.
The case is certain to reach the
supreme court of the United
States and is one of the most i'm

MUST De OIL HERE

No man who has ever had any
experience in oil fields will deny
the fact that this valley looks
like a wonderful possibility in
this respect. and owing to the
fact that every place in the valley
where drilling,has been done has
disclosed oil t6 some extent. it
stands to reason that this section
should have an investigation
made by an experimental well.
The history OF oil fields will
disclose the fact that are always
more sceptics located in it than
believe ers, and the fact
that some people, people who
possibly havet never seen an oil
we'll, are inclined to ridicule the
suggestion thai oil exists here, is
no reason to believe that they are
right. The only way to find out
for sure is by drilling a well.
AS stated incur last issue we
have one man who will subscribe
$500 toward arting this cam
paign. Who Will be the next Z?
Remember that an oil field here
will make more millionaires in
one year than mining or any other
industry will make in the state
in one hundred years.
A number oEHolly enthusiasts
believe that the organization of
an associationto formulate plans
for immediate drilling should be
done at once, and that no step be
left unturneds to thoroughly ex-
plot this section for oil.

sAHR1NcER RESIGNS


After having served two years
as manager of the English Lum-
ber company branch in this town,
H. M. Bahringer has rendered his
resignation, same to take effect
on April 1st.
Mr.. Bahringer has decided to
go. out to his fine homestead
which is located in the artesian
belt of Baca county, four miles
South of the town of Artesia, and
will enter in the stock raising and
general farming business. Mrs.
Dorothy Bahringer. his mother,
also has fine piece of ground in
that neighborhood and she will
accompany him.
The Holly people will be sorry
to see these people leave this
town. Mr.. Bahringer has made
a large number of friends here
by his square business methods
and Mrs. Bahringer is very promi
nent in the lodge affairs of the
city.
The company has not as yet
made any announcement as to
whom the new manager will be,
but rumor has it that a local man
will be appointed.
