COUNCIL CONSIDERS
ENGINE PROPOSITION

"A representative OF the engine com.
pany from whom the engine at the
power plant was purchased was in
Welsh Tuesday afternoon. The object
OF his visit was to hold a conference
with the City Council with a view of
reaching an adjustment of the differ.
enceS existing between the town and
the company. The council feels that
the engine has fallen short of the
guarantee which it carries. Repre-.
SentatlveS of the company have made
several trips here for the purpose of
adjusting the machinery and various
parts have been purchased for repairs
trying to get the machinery in such
repair as will do the work. It seems
that the company is now claiming that
the town should reimburse them for
these expenditures of labor, etc. while
the council feels that it is up to the
engine company to make good the
engine.
There is a general feeling in the
council that larger engine is revuired
to do the work. The representative. of
the Engine Company made one or two
propositions to the council for an ex.
change OF the one now in use for one
larger but none of these propositions
seemed TO appeal to the council and the
meeting adjourned without any con.
cluSIon as to the adjustment of the
differences.

Letter From Uncle Sam
Blackboard.

We were happy one morning this
week to find a letter from Uncle Sam
Blackford who has been so thoughtful
as to write back to his friends here
something of his trip. Friends will
read with interest the letter which
| follows:
Mescdlero, N. NJ, March IA, 1915.
Rice Belt Journal,
Welsh, La.
Thinking the folks of Welsh Wonld
like to hear something about U. S..
as am usually called, will take this
method of letting my friends know of
my trip.
Stopped over one day in San Antonio,
it is big city with one street running
south from the depot, and lots of empty
street cars and a mob of people on the
SIDE walk ,Withhere and there jitney car
with &c. fare to depot. Had trouble
with my mileage book, as usual; thanks
t. the agent that sells tickets at Welsh.
Got as far as Houston, but no farther
on that book, but had to dig up fare or
get off, so | just dug UP and got to my
destination II a. m. Sunday morning
Found the folks all we'll and glad to see
me, but had no notice of my coming. |
wrote two days before started and
mailed it at Welsh, it came two days
after / got TO Mescalero Thanks to
the rapid transit of the mail.
/ have seen more snow here than |
have seen in the last thirty years; the
snow is S feet deep at Cloud Craft, now
fine resort for touists. With all the
snow one does not feel the cold as bad
as in Welsh. The coolest morning since
/ have been here was 20 degrees above
and the middle of the day SO degrees
above. For fact have not worn my
oyercoat since have been here. The
snow is nearly dill gone here, but
plenty farther up in the mountains.
There is no frost on the ground.
Spring work is very backward; the
prospect is very promising for big
crop of fruit, also for pasture on tine
range; stock look fine and are in good
condition.
We get the Ell Passo Daily Herald
and the New York World and keep
posted as to the war across the big
pond and the scrap in Mexico, let them
haveit out and then we willIhave rest
With, regards to all my friends, |
remain AS ever,
SAM BLACKBOARD.
