Had Fine Trip.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Hopkins and
son Horner, and DR.. and Mrs. J. w,
Mather returned Saturday from a
two weeks trip over the Interstate
Trail to st. Paul and the lakes. They
spent a week at Bald Eagle Lake
north of st. Paul and had very en-
joyable time. Mr.. Hopkins said the
road from Lamont to St. Paul was in
excellent condition, the new markers
were up and that a vast amount OF
work had been done this year in put
ting the trail in first class shape for
traffic. The trail from Mason City to
St. Paul, with the exception of ten
miles, is all graveled. From Nevada
to Colo for seven miles the Inter
State goes over the Lincoln highway.
The trip home from Bald Eagle to
Des Moines, distance of 200 miles,
was made in one day with only two
changes of gears. This will give a
fair idea Of the excellence of this
popular trail. Lamont Chronicle.

THOUSAND DOLLARS RAISED
FOR COUNTY FAIR.
ElEgluo;t j1F

The finance committee was
busy Tuesday soliciting funds
from the Clovis business men
for the purpose of defraying the
expenses of the big show and to
pay for the atheletic events
which will be in charge of Jack
Hull. The five hundred dollars
of the peoples money donated
By the boatd of county commits
sioners will be utilized for crop
exhibits and to send the stuff to
the Albuquerque fair. Con.
siderable money will be needed
for incidental expenses such as
printing tags. tickets, circulars
and for display places and the
like. We sincerely hope, and
we believe, that the Curry
County fair will be what the
name implies and no effort will
be made to make political capital
out of the event such as is being
reported done in other sections
of the state. The big Elks audi
torium is rapidly being erected
and the crop exhibits will be
held in this building which will
have the largest floor space of
any in eastern New Mexico.
Reports from all over the county
indicate that there is going to be
a record breaking attendance
and that the exhibits of both |
products and live stock will be |
the largest ever shown here.
The Sells Floto shows will be |,
here for the first day which will
also add to the attractions as it
is one of the largest. if not the
largest. in the world.
The finance committee, assist
ed by others, were busy again
Wednesday and Thursday and
succeeded in raising oyer nine
hundred dollars. This amount
together with the county appro-
priation will give US the largest
working fund ever collected for
fair purposes.

year. stronger and better than
it has ever been. Since its
foundation. thirty-three years
ago, the Headlight has tasted
its full share of good luck and
bad, but under the different
managements which have con-
trolled its deslinies, the paper
has steadfastly maintained its
democratic principles. AS we
have said. we have tested a fair
share of bad luck and hard
times. but now the sun is shin
ing and prospects are good. 1t
will be the endeavor of every
one on the staff, from the devil
up to. the editor, to make the
Headlight a better paper in the
year which is just starting than
it has ever been in the genera
ton which has just passed, and
to this end we ask the cooper

BIG DEAL REPORTED
IN EQUITABLE STOCK
Control of the Company Sold by Es-
tate of J. P. Morgan
Announced.

NEW YORK. June 12-Announcement
was made here today that the ma ajority
Of the capital stock of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society of the United States
had been sold by the executors of the
estate of the late j. p Morgan to Gen
T. Coleman Dupont. principal owner of
the new Equitable building, on lower
Broadway. The trust under which the
stock has been voted would remain un-
disturbed. it was said. The announce
nient was made by William A. Day,
president OF the society.
Statement by Mr.. Day.
Mr. Days statement read. in part. as
follows:
1T is fitting in making this announce
ment to state that the directors and Off
GERS of the Equitable Society appreciate
highly the public-spirited attitude. of the
late Mr.. Morgan and of his son during
the period that the technical ownership
of the stock has rested in their hands.
During this entire period the directors
and officers of the society have enjoyed
the fullest freedom in the administration
of its affairs. without so much as a sug-
gestion from the owners of the stock or
trustees with respect to the management
or conduct of the society. The three
trustees, whose sole duty has been to
elect the directors, have selected men of
integrity and known standing for these
high positions with full sense of re-
sponsibility for the trust imposed upon
them. The directors so selected have ad-
rninistered the affairs of the society free
from any influence or control of the
beneficial owners of the stock.
Promises by New Owner.
TT is eminently appropriate that in
of
stock the interest in the majority of
the society's capital has now been ac-
auired by stanch friend Of the Equi
table, who states that his sole object is
to protect the interests of the policy
holders of the society whose home is in
the building of which he 1s the prin-
cipal owner-a building which bears
the Equitable name, and which has
been erected in large part for the bene-
fit of the Equitable and to facilitate
the efficient transaction of its bust
ness.
The announcement was confirmed in
\ statement issued by Gen. du Pont. He
also confirmed suggestion that it was
his idea to cooperate with the officers
of the society in plan for complete
naturalization. the policy holders al
ready nominating a majority of the
board of directors.
Date of Organization.
The Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety was organized in 1859 and Will
have been in business for fifty-six years
July 26 next. The fire of January 3.
1912. drove it from it's offices in the old
Equitable building. April rs of the
present year it reopened it's Offices at
the old stand in the new Equitable
building.
Gen. du Pont until recently was presi-
dent of the Wilmington. Del. powder
company which bears his name. About
three years ago he purchased the site
of the Equitable building and formed
a corporation known as the Equita BILE
ONCE Building Corporation, which has
erected the largest Office building in
the world.

ment is that as japan and China are
next-door neighbors Ia the Far East
and as the two countries have long
been on cordial terms with each 9TH
er. Japan cannot bear to remain 81
lent respecting these matters. We
hereby offer our sincere advice to
you and hope that our meaning will
be understood"
Through the foreign office the
Chinese government made public to-
day summary of the reply which
Tsao Yu-lin, the vice-minister OF for
eign affairs. delivered verbally to Sir.
John Jordon. the British minister:
Mr.. Kroupensky. the Russian minis
ter. and Mr.. Obata. The language OF
the summary is not given as absolute
ly official. but II Is In effect what Mr..
Tsao Yu-lin said. The full summary
made public by the foreign office fol-
lows:
"The Chinese reply to the friendly
advice offered by the Japanese. Brit
ish and Russian governments was
verbally delivered yesterday after
noon. 1t points out that the matter
Is entirely China's internal affair, but
as the advice was given in friendly
manner. the Chinese government
gives full and detailed reply.
There has been. for some time. a
strong section Of the people In IA
vor Of monarchy and more recently
their ranks have greatly increased, in
Guiding the most powerful and infiu-
entail men OF the country and the I'M
dercurrent Of agitation for the change
in the form OF government has daily
grown stronger. The Chinese govern
ment has always opposed the move
ment. But in the light Of recent de-
velopments. IL 1t were to resort to for
chile suppression not only would the
will Of the people be ignored, but
there would have been considerab BILE
danger to peace and good order. Con-
sequently the Chinese government
has had no other course but to pro-
mulgate the bill passed by Ii Fa Yuan
to organize the assembly Of citizen
representatives to determine this con-
stitutional question in accordance
with the wishes Of the people.
ut will be remembered that the
