ICE PLANT BEING IN.
STALLED IN NARA VISA

The News editor and "bettcr-half"
were Nara Visa visitors Sunday and
Monday the guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Roland Bell.

cessful start in business. He left this
week for Iowa where he will purchase

fords which he will add TO his already
nice herd.
During our stay in the second-best
town in Quay county, we mot IA num-
ber of satisfied citizens. Mr. Bells
father has nice faim east OF town,
located on the New Moxico-Texas line
with large ditch which has stream
Of water continually flowing. II is
fed by large springs and the water is
pure and clear. This stream has been
stocked with fish and they are now
about large enough TO catch to eat.
The Senior Bell has fine large or
chard which bore splendid fruit last
year. The peaches, this year, it is
thought. have been killed by the cold
weather.
A brother, John +. Bell, who is well
known in this county. owns farm
southeast of Nara Visa and il Is with
great pleasure he shows his excellent
herd of pure-bred Hercfords. lie Just
recently bought and shipped to this
county n nearly perfect male to head
his herd. This animal IL the best
specimen it has been our opportunity
to gaze upon. Mr.. John Bell has sold
all of the young males from last year.
He got Sl25 each for them. Seven In
one shipment, were sent to Roosevelt
county. John Burns, Nara Visa's cap
italist, bought one to improve his herd
and numerous others were distributed
over Quay county.
Nara Visa hHs three large general
merchandise stores and nearly every
other business properly represented,
with the possible exception of not
having n newspaper, something real
live town cannot get along without.
Theodore Keuhn has lately purchased
a small ice-making outfit and is now
busy installing it in cement build
ing in the main part of town. He in
tends to put in an electric light plant
in connection with the EGGPLANT and
Nara Visa will enjoy the modern con-
veniences of her larger sister.
John Burns, the old original has a
mammoth stock of lumber, wind mills,
implements, dry goods, clothing, gro-
ceries and nearly everything neces-
sary to sell to n thriving community,
while Hugo Loewenstern operates a
large general merchandise store just
across the street from Mr.. Connell's
big store. Two banks report n good
business with entirely satisfactory re-
suits.
Mr.. Burns also owns n number of
the smaller business houses and has
lately installed high water tower
which furnishes all of his tenants with
plenty of fresh water at nominal
sum, being just as convenient as a
regular city water works.
The only objection we could find
to the citizenship of Nara Visa was
that some os the citizens think they
should oppose anything an opposite
faction starts no matter whether they
believe il wrong or not. Most of them
are well read and the ladies are as
good politicians as the men.
II something could be brought about
to unite the citizenship Nara Visa
will make one of the best towns in
eastern New Mexico.
