HOLIDAY TRADE
Of SILVER CITY
BREAKS RECORDS
Prosperity of People Reflected

silver City, n. M. Dec. 26.-The
holiday business in Silver City broke
all records i'm the towns history, thus
reflecting the prosperity now abound
ing Firms which have been in busi-
ness for from twenty to thirty years
increased their gross December sales
from 10 to so per cent. In some in
stances large extra stocks of Christ
mas goods were entirely sold out sew
eraI days before Christmas. Every
firm viii show big gains in their gross
business for the year past and conse-
quent increases in their net profits.
As result Of this local prosperity,
employers almost without exception
rewarded their employees with sub
stantial cash gifts on Christmas day.
1t is estimated that in Silver City
alone no less than $4,000 in cash was
distributed on Christmas day. Some
of the firms will make their cash dis
tributions on New Years day. The
banks were unusually generous with
their employees.
Building Room.
The year just closing has been
a record breaker in more ways than
one in silver City. Building opera
l't''''
wear In a decade, the building permits
totalling over $500, 000. These includ-
ed permits for new business blocks,
store buildings and residences, chief
among which is the magnificent new
home of the American National bank,
to cost $4,000 when completed. In
addition, the mining companies Of the
nearby camps have installed ma
chnery at cost of thousands Of dol
lars. This is not taking into account
a million or more dollars spent by the
Burro Mountain Copper company at
Tyrone i'm completing its model min
ing camp.
Never has silver City faced the ad-
vent of a new year with brighter
for greater growth and
Chief among the pro-
iects for the year 1917 is a tourist ho-
tel to cost 100000, which is sure to
be built.

Then he took his hoe and put in
six days of the week heading off

result-four acres to the ton of
broomcorn, corn 20 bushels per

CONGRESS- Will
NOT REPAIR ROAD.
Congressman Fitzgerald
Thinks Arizona Should
Do Own Road Work.

Phoenix. Ariz.. Feb. 25.-No appro-
priation is TO be made by congress for
the repair OF the Roosevelt road. which
was badly damaged by recent floods.
Congress was asked for 100000 to re-
pair the road. but John j. Fitzgerald
chairman OF the house committee on
appropriations, has written congress-
man Carl Hayden that to do so would
be 10 set an unwise precedent
There Are other HOghwnys-
II this were the only scenic high
way i'm the United States we might
with safety appropriate money for its
repair. but there are many such ROADS
through the mountains and forests in
various parts Of the United States
wrote Mr. Fitzgerald. III we repair one
OF them by an appropriation from the
treasury we viii be asked 10 care Tor
them all. This committee cannot estab-
lish such a precedent
Your constituents seem to be OF the
opinion that merely because the Roose-
Welt road was constructed by the gov
eminent congress is bound TO maintain
IL in perpetuity. They forget that its
construction was but an incident in the
work on the entire Salt river reclama-
ton project and that ifs usefulness to
the government has now ceased

China's Ruler Says "Lack
of Virtue" Has Caused
Him Some Opposition.

Pekin, China. Feb. 25.-In one of the
most remarkable addresses ever deliv-
cred by ruler over a nation. Yuan Shf
hal mas proclaimed his unworthiness to
become emperor of China, declaring his
lack Of virtue" is responsible for the
rebellion IN 1unnan province. and in
forming his followers his coronation

troll" 7'''i '''O0' oo''-
In an impassioned speech delivered to
the Offlcials of the bureau entrusted
with the preparation for the enthrone-
ment, the president made an explana-
ton of the delay in the date Of en-
thronement as announced 20 the foreign
legations on Jan. q Yuan Shi KaTs
dramatic address was communicated to
officials in all the provinces, in eX-
PLANTATION Of the failure to carry out the
ceremony so eagerly desired nv these
IN harmony with the administration.
Yuan Is Grieved.
TRANSACTIONS Of the address of Yuan
Shl kal differ somewhat, although the
TRANSACTIONS all credit the president
with the same lament concerning his
own iunworthiness. The following is a
somewhat literaF translation of Yuan
Shi Kars speech:
"As the province Of Yunnan is now
opposing the central government, and
under some pretext a rebellion has
been raised I'm those regions. causing
hardships to the soldiers and suffer-
ings to the people, We sigh in receiv-
ing you in audience because owing to
our lack Of virtue. we are unable to
win the hearts Of all the people, which
iu effect means that we are unable to
win the will Of heaven
we are profoundly grieved to con-
fess that a portion of the people are
dissatisfied with us. To perform the
ceremony of enforcement as this
juncture would, therefore. set our
hearts on thorns.
Besides, There's the Expense.
Furthermore. we must remember
that the national expenditure will
greatly be increased for the purpose Of
defraying the expense of a military
campaign. 1t viii therefore be impos-
sible to perform the grand ceremony
at the same time. as the expenses in
this connection. including special re-
wards, gifts and exemptions, will be
enormous. 1t has been decided 70 at

matters, and the enforcement viii
have to be postponed TO a date when
the affairs in Yunnan are again under

H1HE occasion Of this gathering, my

1.-THE occasion of this gathering, my
brothers, is a very happy one.
- When I realize the objects Of your
efforts, its far reaching and potent ef-
fects, the good that will be accom-
plished when the home is completed;
The degree OF success to be achieved
by your home and lodge rests with you.
The opportunity is yours.
There is a time. perhaps many times,
i'm the life Of every man when he is per
mitted to do some good for his fellow
mana time when. by the exercise of
n small amount Of energy, or the eN-
penditure OF a small amount Of money
he is able to render service that viii
gladden. hearts. relieve suffering, or
lead someone out Of darkness and dis
tress into the path Of peace, happiness
and contentment. When one man alone
can do this. a community of men with
its thousands Of hands and eyes, feeling
and seeing into all the dark and desc
late places, can accomplish wonders.
This is why the churches, clubs and
other organizations have grown hn
numbers and influence until they are
today the controlling influence OF Amer
icas greatness. in Which our organiza-
ton takes an important part.
March of Progress.
With steady step in the march OF adj
vaRcement, YOU have laid the corner
stone OF a temple to be dedicated to
the goddess Of love. the domicile Of an
order that teaches love of home. love
Of country and obedience to God. 1t has
for its foundation the indestructible
principles of our order, Charity, JUS
tice. BrOtherly Love and Fidelity"
There will also be written in this tenn
pie the motto Of our order: The faults
of our brothers we write upOn the sand
and their virtues upon the tablets or
love and memory The rains may de-
scend, the floods come and the winds
blow and bear upon this foundation and
it will not fall It is founded upon
rock, the rock OF charity and love. Such
a temple, with such a foundation. will
stand as a beacon light to posterity
and its work will only be finished when
on the last great day God shall say the
end has come.
