HIGH SCHOOL PROGRESS

On Monday afternoon the Liberal
presented to the executive committee
Of the Silver City Chamber Of Com
merce at a called meeting, Lords
burg's plea for county high school
and upon the advice OF the School
Board Of this city, pledged the sup
port OF Lordsburg to the Silver City
high school II that city also desires
one. The gentlemen listened kind
ly to the Liberals remarks after
which the matter was thrown
open for discussion both pro and
con-mOstly con-, as one of the fol-
lowing speakers was not In favor OF
county high schools and the other in
favor OF county high school for
Lofdsburg but not for Silver City.
The president Of the Chamber Of Com
merce, Mr.. j. +. Cleaveland. suggest
ed that Lordsburg again be repres-
ented at the county seat by com
mittee at the regular meeting of that
body tonight friday at which time
the matter would be thoroughly
thrashed out.
Miss Isabel Eckels, county school
uperlntendent. In an Interview with
he Liberal In Silver City on Monday
stated that she was in favor of he
establishing Of a county high school
Vt Lordsburg and would work for that
needed educational advancement in
southern Grant County. She also
stated that she was we'll pleased with
The schools Of this city and that much
Improvement was shown In 1914 over
previous years. She will help Lords
0urg in every way she can to obtain
the county high school sought for
and promote education in southern
Grant county.
IL was decided here that Lordsburg
had sent one committee to meet with
Silver City high school advocates and
member OF the committee had pres
ented the local plea before the Cham
Der Of Commerce so further verbal so
licltation and expense was deemed
unadvisahle aud letters we're sent the
Silver City Chamber OF Commerce
yesterday instead.
LOrdsburR is now awaiting the ac-
tlon OF the Silver City body before
making further progress toward Sc
curing a county high school.

Smugglers Caught In The Act.

While in Deming last week, en-
route to Silver City, Sheriff H ]. Nc
Grath learned that rifles and ammuni-
tion were passing through Deming
spasmodically from the north. No
reports had come from any Of the
towns north OF Deming that there
had been any robbery, but the sheriff
got a hunch that something was
wrong. Upon his arrival in Silver
City he phoned one OF the officers OF
the National Guard Of tina city and
asked him If he had missed any nun.
i'ion from the armory. He was in
formed that all was we'll but that
said officer would investigate. The
result was that the back Of the Ar
mory had been dug into and thirty
two rifels and 5000 rounds Of am
munition had disappeared. The sheriff
detailed two deputies 10 pa'rol the
border near Columbus and as result
a wagon containing the munitions
was captured. The mrn escaped in the
dark. Sheriff McGrath is confident
the men are Silver City residents.
