10 THE KINGDOM OF coLFAx"
The Antelope
Valley Intake
Fully Repaired

The Antelope Valley Irrigation
company has a force Of men and
teams at work four miles east of
Cimarron, doing extensive repair
work at the point where the intake
projects into the Ponil creek. The
dam is being reinforced to with
stand the ireshets 10 the near fu-
ture caused by the melting snow in
the mountains.
The intake and dam were con-
siderablv damaged by the foods
last June, and have not been re-
paired until this spring. The re.
.servoirs on the project are filling
up with water as rapidly as can be
expected, and in all probabilities
the farmers on the tract will have
sufficient water with which to irri-
gate their crops.

4OO-Mle Circle
Drive Most Popular
In The Southwest

While the signs Of spring are
coming and going, much interest
is manifest among tourists and mo-
torists about the 400 mile circle
drive, Of which Arthur Seligman
and other Santa Feans are the faith
Tiers. Many improvements are
Contemplated along this popular
highway so that the motorists can
tour this beautiful drive with the
greatest Of ease and pleasure.
With the exception Of a short
piece Of road in the western part Of
Colfax county, the highway is ia
a good condition, suitable for auto
traffic, and it is expected that the
road will be repaired at the earliest
possible time.
The "4oo-mile circle drive" is
the most popular and picturesque
trip in the southwest, and those
who have been over it say It can
not be excelled in the United
States. Perhaps the most import
ant part Of the drive is that b.
tween Cimarron and Taos. where
the motorist passes through the
Cimarron Canyon, aud the 1000
foot Palisades through the beauti-
ful Moreno Valley, over the divide
] and on to Taos.

.QuieteSt Election In
The Towns History
Inclement Weather Keeps Many From
Polls; Three Tickets Scratched
Out OF Total Vote

AT no time in the history OF Cim-
arran, either before or alter the in
corporation Of the town, has an
election been held where so little
interest was manifest. as the one
closed on Tuesday evening. No
Indication before or on election day
pointed to any degree Of interest in
the political situation Of the town.
The thing sought for was accom-
plished before the election, namely
a non-partisan ticket, and it is very
doubtful whether a set Of men who
were nominated and elected for
the respective Offices could have
been chosen than:
Mayor, c. r. Bass.
Clerk, c. G. Waters.
Council, Jas. T. Lail, A. w.
Vasey, L. r. Butler, Perfecto Cor
dova.
Treasurer, Herman c. Ellis.
Every candidate on the ticket
was elected, and when the ballots
were given the final count, three
tickets we're scratched, all other
ballots we're voted straight.
Thus, it may be said. in the
peaceful slumbers the election is
over with, and the new city officials
can enter upon their duties guiding
the affairs OF the municipality for a
term of two years.
What was once a bed Of political
eruption is now forgotten. and the
"watchful waiting" policy has taxi
en- the place of those bitter polite
al encounters that will 20 down in
biographical sketches Of Cimarron.
Owing to the inclement weather
the number of voters was very lit
tie who availed themselves of the
opportunity to vote the straight
ticket. 1t is estimated that not
more than one-ffth the votes we're
bellotted.
