Arizona AutOists
Eliminate LOrdsburg

A motorcade of Southern AriZ-
ona autoists left Phoenix, Tucson
Douglas, Bisbee, Tombstone and
other points yesterday morning
to visit towns along the Border
land Route, eliminating Lords
burg, the hub of the automobile
route to the coast. AS a lame
excuse the autoists state that
the road between Lordsburg and
Rodeo is practically impossible"
and therefore they propose to
change the Borderland Route
from Rodeo through Hachita on
to Deming over a road going
through lakes and over malpais
country, many times worse than
the present Borderland Route.
1t is then fear of the Southern
Highway and the S. P. Road
thru Stems, San Simon, Bowie
and on to Tucson, that has turned
the Douglas and Bisbee autoists
against Lordsburg. The narrow
minded towns in southern Ariz-
ona cannot stand competition,
and boldly display it.
Lordsburg has worked for and
will continue to work for the
Borderland Route. In the Spring
the roads will be repaired both
for the benefit of the autoists
and the Animas valley farmers.
When a tourist comes to this city
he is shown the maps and logs
of all routes and is given to chose
for himself. 1t is this fairness
that the southern Arizona towns
are afraid of.
Lordsburg is playing square
put is not meeting with fair play.

PRECINCT FOR IS NINE

The County Commissioners
last week granted a new voting
precinct for the IS mine camp.
The precinct will take in thirty
sections surrounding the 85 camp
but not taking in any of the land
through which the s.. P. or A. &
N. M. railroad passes. The
district begins one mile south of
Lordsburg and extends 6 miles
east and west running five miles
south. This will be only a voting
precinct and will have no effect
on the school funds.
An election for Constable and
Justice of the Peace has been set
for Saturday January 29th at
the IS mine.
A petition has also been circu-
lated for the establishing of q
a postofflce at the 85 mine, to be
known as Barclay, New Mexico,
and action is expected from the
postal authorities within a short
time.

MORE PUBLICITY

In the Engineering and Mining
Journals big annual review of
mining in the United States,
which appeared Tuesday, Lords
burg and it's tributary districts
is featured in the write-up of the
state of New Mexico. This is
the most valued mining publicity
Lordsburg has ever received and
is certain to turn the mining
spotlight upon the local field.
The New Mexico review in the
Journal was another acquisition
of the Western Liberals publicity
campaign.

State Land Commissioner
Robert P. Ervein, has submitted
to senator Fall, bill for addition
al State Lands for New Mexico.

of it being enacted. A proviso
in the bill calls for the exchange

BIG STORY TO BREAK

The Liberals staff of literary
artists has been put wise to the
fact that there is more than a
possibility that there is a good
news story about to break into
headlines which is very favorable
to Lordsburg and Grant County.
1t has not been released and un-
til that time our readers may
speculate as to what it is and
in the mean time do not let your
subscription expire for the early
part of 1916 so you may get the
full story when it is pushed over.

BOOSTS FOR
LORDSBURG

The following booster article ap-
peared in the El Paso Herald for
Sunday. This, and much other
material dealing with the incorpor-
alton of Lordsburg, removal of the
hogs from the streets, and the
building boom, has been spread
broadcast over the southwest and
has been featured in many news
papers who realize the Importance
of such factors in the growth of
the city of Lordsburg, no matter
how hard the opposition tries to
hold the town down.
Lordsburg, N. NJ, Jan. 9.-A
building boom is taking place in
this city and by the middle of the
year Lordsburg will be greatly
changed in appearance downtown.
w. H. Small is making prepara-
tions for the erecting of a $751;
600 or $4,000 two-story brick
building on the main street, a Ma
sonic temple is now under consider
alton by the order of this city and
no doubt will be built by spring,
and a new high school is to be
erected by the beginning of the
term next fall.
At Silver City this week the Co.
commissioners ordered a survey
to be made of Lordsburg and cen
sus taken, after which the town
will be declared Incorporated. Over
a majority of the legal voters in
this city have signed the petitions
for incorporation despite the eff
forts of the unprogressve element
to retard this needed movement in
Lordsburg's civic affairs.
Another important change, with
in the last two weeks, has been the
removal of all the hogs from the
streets of the city. Lordsburg
has been made joke town of the
southwest because of the careless
citizens who have turned their
hogs into the streets to grub. AS
sistant district attorney G. G. Roy
all of Silver City declared war on
the hog owners and has promised
prosecution to the first offender
AS result Lordsburg has been re.
moved from the list of the hog
towns of the west.

PROMINENT VISITORS

John M. Sully, general manager
of the Chino Copper Company
at Santa Rita and Hurley, N.
NJ, Horace Moses, mine superin-
tendent of the same company, and
Percy Wilson, mayor of Silver City
and prominent attorney, arrived in
the city Saturday and returned to
their homes Sunday. The gentle
men came here in connection with
their interests in the BOnney mine
which is being steadily developed
under the management Of H. A.
Thorne, who for years was con-
nected with the Chino Copper Co.
Lordsburg feels proud of having
such men as Messrs. Sully, Moses
and Thorne in back of one of the
local mines. 1t may be safely said
that these men are the most sue
cessful mining men in New Mexico
and their entrance into this district
to the south of this city will no
doubt bring others.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES
Sewing is advancing wonder
fully under the tutilage of Mrs.
.Sellards and Miss C. Corners.
Crochetting has become so well
liked that the girls do it, between
the halves of their basketball
games. All sorts of aprons and
bags have been designed and
made by the class. This week the
lesson tau g h t the girls how to
patch, neatly and so it would be
unoticed, on crossbar gingham.
Remarks have been heard to the
effect, that this extra work is
unnecessary and the girls and
boys 0 g h to be d DIN g their
'readin, 'ritin' and 'rithmetic. "
If lessons in sewing, patching
and building, aren't useful to our
future citizens, it would be a
benefit for us to learn what will
be.
Midyear promotions will be
made on Friday, January Ia, 1916.
The names of pupils getting the
promotion, will be published in
the next issue of The Liberal.
A m e e t i n g of the Patron
Teacher Society was held at the
school house Wednesday after
noon at four o'clock.
A new class has been started
in the high school, Englis h
history being the subject and
Miss Huggett the teacher.
Mr.. FOrman, the evangelist,
now preaching in Lordsburg,
addressed the pupils on Monday
afternoon. Mr.. Forman gave
an interesting and useful talk
and his remarks were greatly
appreciated.
1t would be we'll for the public
to visit the schools and see the
work going on. You are always
welcome, and we would be more
than glad to have your help and
sympathy.
To the music of the cheering
crowd, and the honking of nu-
merous automobile horns, the
Lordsburg basketball team took
vengeance on the San Simon
girls for the points they won from
us in Arizona. The girls were
after the ball every minute, every
player was in her place at the
right time. Very few chances
were lost. Julia Beam. worked
on the line getting the ball and
passing it to Annie McMeans,
who deftly toss e d it into the
basket. Dorothy Chase played
Humping center, until, through
| the r gor of the game. She
collapsed eight minutes before

| Mildred Trimble took her place
and played nobly. Inez Clay
and Ruth Chase did very gooC
work in keeping the visiting team
from running up a large score,
and in getting the ball over t.
their center.
The San Simon aggregation
displayed good team work. Then
chief fault was in their inability
to hit the basket. 1t was no easy
matter to win the game from
them as they worked the Lords
burg team to its utmost,
The game ended with the scor,
10 to 6 in favor of Lordsburg

with the methods to be followed in
the entertaining of cattlemen. Be
sides, it lies in the center of the
greatest cattle producing area in
the world and includes in its popu-
lation many of the leading cattle
tlemen.

While Ell Paso banks have ex-
tended much aid to the cattlemen,
there has been need here of a
large cattle loan company. j.

tie Association, is among the
leading southwestern cattle deal
ers who advocate the formation of
