truotion of the estab5i1iisshsed b5i1ish hs a order.

truction of the established order,
 Baseball and other sports, it is ar gued, are but the present day perpet- uation of this trick of the moneyed classes to keep the working people in order. Could the ball games and other sports but be abolished, our people would stay at home, mediate on their wrongs, and rise and over turn the classes that enslave them. With this philosophy of gloom. the average man can have but little sym pathy. As a. matter of fact, the cap ita1ist of today is not over friendly to baseball. The office boys and the stenographers have too many grand mothers funerals during the season Also it is mighty hard to run the plant after the hour when the game is called.
 Probably nothing makes man more normal better able to see things in a. common sense way, than to get out into the open air and "holler and forget his troubles.

The Libel Law.

The bill to be introduced at
this session of the legislature.
degning libel and slander and
for other purposes is a very
fair one, fair to b 9th publish
ers and the public. The truth
can be made a part of the de-
fense, and any action for libel
against any New Mexico news
paper must be brought in the
county where the paper is
published. No one can possi-
bly, have any objections to that
bill, unless indeed, it be some
of those t0 whom the truth is
at times very obnoxious. The
newspapers Of the state will
keep a close watch on the bill
and the legislator who votes
against it must expect to have
his motives questioned. -Pecos

Switchman Kerr Hurt

Switchman, Walter ("Skeet")
Kerr, who has been employed by
the Santa Fe for some time. was
painfully if not dangerously hurt
by being struck by an engine,
while switching in the yards
about 8 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. Kerr, who is only about 20
years of age, was on duty as
sVitchman at the time of the
accident, in which the occurance
was similar to that which caused
the death of Hugh Wilson, a call
boy, recently. Although CelaiIs
are lacking, an inquiry at the
hospital reveals the tact that the
injured switchman is not con-
sidered seriously wounded.

New Law Firm

The legal fraternity of Clovis
is to be strengthened by the ad-
dition of the firm of Pardue and
Reese, who have secured office
rooms on north Main Street and
are now moving their library
and office furniture and fixtures
here. Mr.. Pardue. who estab-
ished the Clovis Journal, about
six years ago, has for the past
three or four years been practic-
ing at Fort Sumner, while Mr..
Reese, who is located at Portales
and who enjoys the distinction
of being one of the foremost in
the fraternity. has been a fre-
quent visitor in Clovis and has
represented many clients before
the Courts of Curry County.
He enjoys a wide practice both
here and in Roosevelt County
and an upright and exemplary
young attorney. He will remain
at the Portales office and Mr..
Pardue will locate here.

County Salaries

The salaries bill for Curry
c .dnty officers has again been
the bone of contention in the
New Mexico legislature. The
joint Committees of both houses
have at last reached an agree
ment after what seemed almost
a hopeless deadlock. The third
class county as the bill now
stands provides for officers sal
aries as follows: Commissioners
$500.00; Treasurer and Clerk
So. $50. 90 each; Assessor So, $50.
90; Sheriff $3,150.O0; School
Sup't. 81. 10000. Agreement
upon remaining officers pending.
1t is thought that the assessed
valuation in Curry County will
put it in the second class and
that the officers salaries will
therefore exceed these figures.

SIXTEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR
DEAL in CLOVIS REALTY
Largest Single Property Deal in the History OF the Town
Contaminated This Week When the Kendall Dry
Goods Company Purchased the Singleton Block

1t remained for Misses Leila
and Mamie Kendall, who are
the proprietors of the big Ken
dali Dry Goods Store, to make
the largest single property
deal ever yet announced in Cur
ry County. 1t was definitely
closed Monday. through the
Scheurich Agency when the
double front. two story brick
building. owned by Geo. W.
Singleton and which is ,occu-
pied by Writings five and ten
cent store and dry goods store
and the Elks home and several
Offices on the upper floors, was
sold to the above mentioned
parties. The property is among
the best located in Clovis, about
midway in the central block on
Main st. and has an east front
of fifty feet.
The business of the Kendall
Dry Goods Company had grown
to such an extent during the
last few years, that their old To-
cation was considered entirely
too small to longer accommodate
them and they had been con-
templatinP securing larger aud
more commodious quarters for
some time. They expect to oc.
cupy their new store building
about March lst and there will
be no change in the building
AAich was properly fitted up
by Mr.. Whiting except a few
minor changes in shelving,
counters, etc.
The fact that the Kendall Dry
Goods Company have made
such a heavy purchase of real
estate shows that they have
much confidence in toe future
of the country. and they should
know conditions as they have
been in business here since the
beginning Of the town. lt|
should also serve to set at rest
rumors that have been in circu-
lation for some time past that
they intended going out of
business in the near future.

the children were all inside, as
the falling bricks and concrete

If there is any building in the

and we hope that the directors
will endeavor to see that the
building is properly inspected
and strengthened.

of Eddy and Chaves TO Roswell,
New Mexico and thence through
Elida, Portales and CLOVIS to

surveyed by the state engineer
and be located 50 as to accomo-
date the largest number of peo-
pie along the route and be known
as the Pecos Valley and Eastern
New Mexico Highway; and re-
solved further that the State
legislature now in session be
asked to designate said road as
a state highway.
1t was also decided to levy an
assessment against the member
counties as follows: Eddy $50, 90
Chaves 500. 100, Roosevelt $50 90
Curry $4,000 and Lincoln $500
