FINE STALLION

II. l.. Cox, who owns and lives on
nice farm near Jordan, n. NJ, arr
rived in Tucumcari last Friday from
Charlton, Iowa, where he had been TO
buy fine draft stallion for use on
his farm. The stallion is fine black
Percheron with small white star
in his 70, ehead. He is not yet three
years old but weighs about 1850. He
was owned and bred by Frank Chan
dler, ut Charlton, Iowa, who is known
to all farmers who have kept post
ed on thoroughbred horses Of all
kinds and especially in the draft class.
The horse attracted quite a bit Of
attention on the streets Saturday be-
fore Mr.. Cox left for his home.
Mr.. Cox and his son, +. r., are the
joint owners Of this fine horse and
expect to stand him at their places
near Jordan the coming season.
This class of horses is what will
bring our present grade up to a bet
ter and more marketable size, and
there is no country on earth where
horses will do any better than New
Mexico. This is natural horse and
cattle country and we are glad TO see
the farmers taking so much interest
in grading up their stuff.

UNIVERSITY ENROLMENT
SATISFACTORY TO PRESIDENT

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Jan. l2-En-
rollment of students at the New Mex
leo State University for the second
semester, which begun Jan. 4, total
ed 220 ut the end of the first week,
an increase of "a over the total en-
rollment Of the first half year period,
and of more than fifty over the total
enrolment of last year. II is an in
crease Of one hundred per cent over
that of two years ago. The increase
in the second semester's enrolment
is especially gratifying to the UNI
versity government and its president,
since IL was largely "a voluntary in
crease. With the University dormi-
tories well filed and additional cot
tages for students being built, no spe-
cial effort was made to induce new
students TO enter for the second half
year period. The volunteers prove
the growing influence of the Uniyer-
sity and the new students give rep
resentation In the student body from
every county in the state for the first
time since the University was estab-
lished.
Conservative estimates predict
freshman class of 100 or more FOR
next year and total enrolment that
will be well over 800.

REPORTS FAVOR.
ABLE TO TUCUM.
CARTS FUTURE
OF ROCK ISLAND II. n.
MAY BE MOVED TO TUCUM.
Carl FROM DALHART-
MANY REPORTS ARE
AFLOAT

Word has been received in this
city as well as all along the line that
Tucumcari has been chosen as the
most central point for the Rock Island
to locate its general offices, and we
understand that all the officials now
located in Dalhart and Amarillo will
be transferred TO Tucumcari within
| short time.
The head Of the Rock Island lines
is cutting of salaried men and will
use the money saved in improving the
present equipment. The superintend-
ents divisions are being heightened
and two are now required to do the
work formerly done by three. Natur-
ally this will cut down the clerical
force and save considerable in the
course Of year.
IL is said arrangements will be made
with the f. p. q s. w. to enlarge the
shops here so that more workmen will
he put to work and the r. |. will con-
tract with this company to do all it's
repair work on this end of the line.
In speaking Of this move a promi-
nent railroad man told the News edi-
tor that II such change was made IL
would be necessary to build an office
building, therefore it is quite proba-
ble new depot would also be built
in connection with it.
This is no pipe dream but some
live town is going to be benefited by
the change while several towns along
the line will suffer the loss. Tucum-
carl has all the advantages necessary
to make this the logical point to con-
centrate end the citizens (not just the
business men) should get busy and
find out just how much our town is
estitled to and then go after it teeth
and toe-nails.
Just because we have few dead
ones who holler 1--WE can't" every time
something worth while bobs up, is
no reason we should not try. Can't
means won't" nothing more nor less.
The Rock Island people have always
been friendly to Tucumcari, because
they originated the town and prac-
tically made IL what il is and had not
the Mexican war interfered, Tucum-
carl would not have stopped growing,
but would have been much larger and
still growing rapidly. We now have
the best railroad facilities of any town
in the state. While our rates are not
vet fixed satisfactorily they will be
and then factories and other instirc-
tions necessary TO make a city will
he forthcoming.
The railroad owners like to be ask
ed to do things because they know
they are appreciated. Those that ask
shall receive may be as true from a
business standpoint as il was in the
scriptures, but dead man or dead
town never asks for anything, there
fore they receive nothing.

LOWING ITEM
GRAND JURY WORK

A case before the justice of the
peace in western Quay county has
been brought to the attention of La
Voc Publica. II seems that Segundo
Saias made complaint before the Mon
toya justice against Earl Elliott foi
assault and battery and also a peac.
complaint. The case was taken be-
fore the Ina justice on a change of
venue. When the case was ready for
trial before this justice the complain
ing witness reports that the attorney
for the defendant and his friends,
present in large numbers, made dem
onstrations in the court room intiml-
dating the prosecuting witness and
the court. Whereupon the court dis
missed both cases without examining
n single witness and assessed the
costs against the prosecuting witness.
together with the attorneys fee for
the defendant.
If this statement of facts is true.
then the grand jury should investi-
gate this case.
This seems TO be only one more Of
many instances that have arisen in
Quay county, where the ugly race feel
ing has shown itself.-La Voc Publica

Mr.. Browns wife was visiting her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Perdue, who
live out near the Mesa Rodondo. A
message was received in this city that
evening and Chas. Adair drove out IN
his auto and brought Mrs. Brown to
town in time to catch the train for
Amarillo that night. The report re.
ceived at that time stated that they
did not think Brown could live until
the arrival of his wife.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: Competitive
buying has abated, and business
moves under reduced momentum,
though with little shrinkage In vol
ume. This is the period of all others
when a decided halt Is to be expect
ed, as many plants ordinarily stop
for needed repairs, and inventories
and vactions are in order. Yet this
year is an exception, and much less
than the customary lull is apparent,
while indications foreshadow unusual
activity throughout the summer.
Instead of being at low ebb, pro-
duction is maintained close to the re-
cent maximum, and enforced shut
downs at manufacturing works will,
as rule, be Of short duration. Oper-
atoms in numerous instances, how
ever, continue hampered by the scar
city of labor and other drawbacks,
and it is still the fact that some mills
are turning contracts away that can
not be filled as promptly as buyers
desire. This Is particularly true of
cotton and wooden lines, in which i'm
portant government needs have accen-
tuated the difficulties in making early
deliveries on ordinary requirements.
Large orders for army shoes have
also impaired stimulus to footwear
and leather, while in the steel and
