81 1000 is low estimate of
what the Herald has saved Baca
county since it has been under
its present ownership, Last
year we did the county printing
for $4,000, while the bid of the
lowest competitor would have
cost the county somewhere a.
round S6O0.OO. This year the
bid of our contemporary was"
81. 90 below the lowest bid" which
compels them to do the work
for $4,000. the Herald's bid
being $4,000. They are hearth
ly welcome % the job at that fig
nre, the Herald consoling itself
with the knowledge that it has
thereby saved the county another
$4,000 or 10000.

The Retiring Officers
Four county offices changed
hands last Tuesday-county
commissioner, sheriff superin-
tendent, and clerk and recorder.
Jesse Harrison Was defeated
Tor nomination in the primary.
He went out Tuesday after u
four years term, giving way to
another republican.
During the term as commission
fer Jessie has worked untiringiy
for Baca county. 1t was thru
mis- efforts that the state road
tax was secured for Baca coun-
ty, and consequently that our
roads have been put in travelling
| shape.
Jesse understood his bussi-
ness from a to lizard. He new just
when to say yes" and when
no., and this he did without
quibbling or rag chewing.
Let us hope that his successor
will prove equally efficient, as
one member on the board of
county commissioners will be
greatly appreciated luxury.
Ex-sheiitf ke:t is alother re-
publican succeeded by anoth-
er republican. Harve goes
out because he didn't choose a.
gain to go in. He has made Ba-
ca county good officer, and if
his successor serves the county
as well lie will deserve well of
his party two years hence.
Mrs Mable Kett has made a
successful county Superintend-
/ ent, we believe as successful
as any of her predecessors. it
not even more so. She has
worked diligently for the schools
of the county, ano in this good
work she expects to continue.
Mrs. Kett al 50 goes out because
she refused again to 20 in.
David konkel has made a good
and efficient county clerk, and
has been one OF the most popu-
lar men in the county. But he
signed his death warrant when
he threw in with the now odious
-.ammany combine. Had lie s;.id
to them gentlemen, will stand
or fall with my brother" instead
of being beaten by a third term
er, he would have Won out by 200
or 500 against any man that
could have been put up apainst
him.
For ,iic officers ,ucceeding
themselves, the hold-overs, and
,ilosc newly installed, we enter
tain the best wishes. hope they
will make good. aud shall notice
tllpm from time to tiD'e IN the
performance Of their several Of

My dear Mr. konkel:-

Department will do every thing
in their power to afford relief to
desert land entrymen who have
acted in good faith. Of course
these Officials are bound by the
law and their oaths of office, but
we have found that wherever it
was pc ssible for them to so
stretch the law as to save some
poor devel who is honestly work.
ing or endeavorinR to make a
home on the public domain, they
were glad to take advantage of
the opening.
/ will ask the Secretary not to
cancel desert land claims pend
ing action on the $40 Acre home
stead bill. This will nat INVOLVE
any great delay, for the life of
the present congress terminates
by constitutional limitations on
March 4, 1915. If we cannot Sc
cure q vote on the bill by that
time, it will be necessary tor it
to go over until the next con-
gress.
With best wishes, 1 remain

HOW ANY WOMAN
CAN DRY CLEAN
Put gasoline and solvite in a
wash boiler and save
FIVE dollars.

Here's a way to make soiled or
dingy-looking wearing apparel look
like new. Any woman can easily clean
and restore the original color and
brightness to kid gloves and shoes,
neckties, ribbons, silks, satins, laces,
network, yokes, furs, shirtwaists, chill
dren's coats, suits. caps, wooden gar
ments. swiss, lawn, organdy and chif-
fon dresses, draperies, rugs, in fact
any and every thing that would be
ruined with soap and water.
Get two ounces of solvite at any
drug store and put it in two gallons OF
gasoline, where it quickly dissolves.
then put in the goods to be cleaned,
rub little and out they come looking
clean, bright and fresh as new. You
will find nothing fades, shrinks or
wrinkles, requiring no pressing.
1t only takes a few moments to
do what dry-cleaning establishments
would charge five dollars or more for.
1t is as simple as ordinary laundering
and you can't make a mistake. Anv
solvite, which is simply a gasoline
soap, and you can obtain the gasoline
at any grocery or garage. Then q
wash boiler or large dishpan will com-
plete your dry-cleaning outfit.
AS gasoline Is very inflammable. be
sure to do your dry cleaning out or
doors or in room away from fire or
flame, with the windows left open.-

ment and that the crew fought the fire
for five hours, winning the prais of
the passengers.
