News Of Oil Fields

In another column of this issue
will be- found the articles of
Incorporation of the Columbus
oil Company, which marks the
formation of the first local
company looking to the develop
ment of the recently discovered
oil tributary to Columbus. This
company is fast maturing it's
plans, and will in the very near
future, we understand, start a
hole toward the other side of the
.arth, with view of making old
mother earth yield mp her hidden
treasure.
The past week has witnessed
4 continued interest by outsiders,
and we note couple of parties
IRON Arizona have been among
uS this week, attracted by the oil
situation. They have been min.
ing men, having discove ed and
hold yet large intrest in one of
the largest asbestos finds in the
United States, and contemplate
some extensive interests here,
We understand also their mining
instinct has lead them to make
IN examination of our extensive
onyx deposits adjacent here, and
have Seut IA sample away for
examination and polish and pro
muunce il high grade product,
and they may become interested
in the develnpemcnt of this
property. However, this has
come to their attention since

them, but their main interest is
in the oil situation

Our Public Lands

There is discussion at present .
as to the desirability of having
the remaining public domain in
New Mexico turned over TO the
state. The public lands add
little to the wealth of the state
and do not help US any in the
acute tax situation we are now
facing. Under the circumstances
we need these public lands. But
there must be just grounds for
asking for these lands.
Judge G. A Richardson, pres.
ident of the Eastern New Mexico
Good Roads Association, outlined
Il plan at the recent road conven
tion held in Albuquerque that Is
worthy of most careful attention
by New Mexico patriot, He said:
Let congress grant 100000
acres of land to New Mexico.
Let this be carefully classified
and then sold to actual settlers
and stOckmen on easy terms at
not less than 81 an acre Much
of the remaining public domain
IN this state is Oyergrazed and
therefore at present of little
tenefit. In private ownership
this area would become wealth.
producing territory.
"In this grant it should be
stipu ated that the y. oceeds
from the sale of these lands
should be applied to the cOnstruc
ton and to the maintenance of Il
comprehensive Stae wide system
of highways; the drainage of the
Rio Grande. PecOS and other
valleys: and for educational pur
poses. These bettermentS
would result in wonderful
development of agriculture,
stock industry, mines, forests
and other resources The high.
ways would unite all parts Of the
state and open "A new world to
the tourist, the health seeker,
and the student Of history
Judge Richardson furtheo sug
gests that such a grant may be
obtai led for the purposes named
if the people of the state will get
into the harness and work for il
| in earnest. He says; AS {
beginning invite senators, repre-
sentatives, and other men OF
national rank as guests of the
State Fair at Albuquerque ahC
at Roswell a..d the various
county fairs this fall. This vii
show them that New Mexico has
many resources within its bord
erS and is worthy pf federal aiC
IN the building of highways ant

1t will require efforts to Obtain
such grant and il is a priz
J worth seeking

Referring to the floor plan, IL
becomes at once apparent that
there is a gratifying absence of
waste room. and that the house. al
though economical in design, Is
well calculated to meet the re-
aurements OF the average family.
The vestibule, equipped with two
coat closets, leads directly TO the
living room, which is IA X 10 in
size, and presents a number of at
tractive features. the more import
ant OF which are the recessed fire
place and the columned opening to
the diningroom. A staircase
extends from the living room 20
the second floor, while French
doors provide means OF access
20 the piazza. The diningroom
windows are in pairs. and In direct
line with either the columned
opening or with the built-in china
cabinet. This will be found most
effective. Between the diningroom
and kitchen Is a pantry 5 . In

T N this modest cottage many OF
the charming and homelike
characteristics peculiar to
the Colonial style of architecture
have been incorporated. II Is in
tended. however. as a rather mod
ern Interpretation, for stucco Is
employed on the first story. while
shingles are used on the second.
This is a pleasing combination
which will be found entirely prac-
tical in a house OF this character.
The exterior OF this cottage de-
pends for its attractiveness upon a
portico Of pleasing proportions,
large piazza with extended front,
and upon a symmetrical grouping
of windows. The judicious use Of
brackets and trim is a feature Of
the exterior, quite as important in
carrying out the colonial effect as
the handsome columns or the de-
lightfully simple dormers.
