ment of the city and other work of

iday season. A number of new ce.
ment walks have been ordered by

constructed as early as possible

ROAD WORK RESUMED
WILL PUT SAME IN
GOOD CONDITION

Work on the county roads will re-
sumo at once providing the weather
remains good. Practically the en-
tire distance between this city and
the eastern county and state line has
been completed, the work being
done by John Grayson and Chas.
Wernett using the gosoine grader
which was purchased by the county
last fall. A road twenty feet wide
is being graded with sufficient slope
to the side to carry off any surplus
storm water. In this work about
one mile day has been made, the
grubbing Of bear grass taking up
much Of the time and retarding pro-
gress.
The workmen are now ready to be-
gin the making Of the road west
from Tucumcari to the county line
west Of Montoya and this work will
require several weeks a great part
Of the road leading through the
rocky hills near Hanley. Blasting
may be necessary, il is said, in cer-
tain portions of the road and consid-
cradle filling will have to be made.
The route to the west furnishes some
Of the most picturesque scenery in
this part Of the state and will un.,
doubtedly prove drawing card "a
tourists once the route has been adj
vcrtised The entire distance Of the
road through the county will approx
innate seventy-five miles and is
part of the southwest trail. Tribu-
tary roads will be built later on to
connect other parts of the county
with the main road after which Quay
county will see the full effects of the
work. II is said also that two
bridges NAV be constructed in the
near future over a couple OF the
streams in the county so az to do
away with some of the inconven-
ience of travellers in the adjoining
sections.

SON KILLS FATHER
IN FIGHT NEAR CLOVIS

Clovis, N. NJ. Jan. l.-G. w. Jones
a well known wheat raiser of the
eastern section Of New Mexico is
dead tonight as result of threats he
is alleged to have made to kill his
wife and son and of a murderous at
tempt made on the son yesterday.
Jones was killed last night but word
of the tragedy, which took place at
the Jones ranch near here, did not
reach this city until today, when the
youthful slayer gave himself up.
II appears from the sons story
that Jones had threatened to kill the
entire family. and had even armed
himself with a shotgun. The son
took this from him. Jones then got
a revolver and a struggle ensued.
Jones had the muzzle of the revolver
actually in his sons mouth when
Mrs. Jones interfered, preventing
him from firing it. The son got
hold of another revolver and shot
his father through the heart.
Public sentiment here is heartily
in favor of the young man. Jones,
who was known as Cyclone, was
one of the largest growers of wheat
in the county, having sold $1,000
worth Of that cereal last year.

BELL SYSTEM SHARES
EARNINGS WITH EMPLOYEES

Denver, Colo, January 5. Tn,
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company announces that arrange
ments have been made by which EN-
ployes Of the Bell System who hav,
been two years or more in the ser
vice and who so desire may purchas,
stock of the Company for $40 pei
share on easy terms of payment
No employe can purchase more
than one share for each 5000 Of an
nual wages he receives, nor more
than ten shares whatever his wages.
The terms Of payment will be-
$500 per share per month begin
ming with March, 1915, and the
quarterly dividends paid on the
stock will go towards paying for il
after deducting interest at 4 per
cent per annum on the unpaid bal
ances.
The American Company has paid 8
per cent dividends for seven years,
and it is calculated that dividends
at this rate and the $500 per share
per month payments by employees
will pay for the stock in full by No
vember, 1918. Any employe who so
desires can after March /, 1917, but
not before, pay in the balance on his
stock and receive his stock certif-
cate.
Should an employe leave the SER
vice or die before his stock is fully
paid for, the amount he has paid in
plus the accumulated dividends
(less per cent Interest," will be-
paid back.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company is the parent com
pany of the Bell Telephone System
which operates or connects with
eight and a half million telephone
stations throughout the United
States.
II has about $1,000 stockholders
and 10000 employees. Its issued
capital stock is nearly $3.50, 600, 900
and is quoted on the Stock Ex.
changes at about $llS per share.
The Company makes it plain that
no emp|oye is under any obligation
to buy any stock, but it is believed
that a considerable number of EN-.
ployes will take advantage Of the
opportunity to save little money
every month and invest it in the
business.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR COTTON

The earnest determination Of the
bankers of the South in their confer

the farmers in order that cotton may
be sold for reasonable price is high.
ly encouraging. Conditions are ripe
for successful cooperation. There is
abundant foundation for the faith of
John T. Scott OF Houston that cotton
will sell for 10 cents. for It is true,
as Mr.. Joseph Hirsch. president of
the Texas Bankers association. said:
For the first time in the history Of
the South. the southern bankers have
the financial ability to market grad.
ually this crop. 1t would appear al
most as II the federal reserve act had
been drafted for the benefit Of the
southern producers"
Money for financing the crop is
abundant. The warehouse capacity OF
Texas, Nathan Adams gives assur.
ance, will have been increased by
100000 bales in time for this years
crop.
Two things only are necessary:
First, that farmers shall use the ware.
house facilities, and this they seem
inclined to do. Second. that bankers
shall get the money to farmers abun-
dantly and at reasonable rates. This
