The rapidly increasing motor
traffic on the streets of our town,
while IL shows the prosperous con
diiion Of the community, also
brings with 1t certain element of
danger.
There are two reasons for this
danger here
(D Many drivers drive too fast,

vehicles.

COMMISSIONERS HOLD
BUSY SESSION
Petition Asking that the Cen
sus of Carrizozo be Taken
Looking Forward to Town
Incorporation was Granted
ACTS ON PETITION CALLING
PROHIBITION ELECTION

The Commissioners OF the County
have just closed busy three days
session In which q number Of i'm.
p0rtant measures we're considered
Besides the regular routine OF the
approval of bills against the county,
hearing of complaints, etc.. two
petitions, one originating with the
voters OF this precinct and those
Immediately adjoining Ond the
other from the town Of CarrizOzo
were considered and favorable
decision reached.
The first petition requested the
ordering Of an election to determine
whether the prohibition of the sale
Of Intoxicating liquors should be
made In the three precincts con
tanning the towns Of Oscuro, White
Oaks and Carrizozo. The petition
was accordingly granted and the
date for the election set for May
Sth, next.
The second petition called for the
ordering Of u census Of the town Of
Cariizozo TO be taken to. determine
whether population OF fifteen
hundred could bs registered, with a
view TO full Incorporation as tow n,
the legal requirement being the
above mentioned population.
Favorable f,tion resulting, steps
will be taken for the enumeration
of the number Of residents in the
proposed corporate limits, and no
apprehension is felt concerning the
outcome Of the count.
This petition was signed by prac
tically every voter in the prescribed
limits and when the question
comes to vote a generous major
ity will unquestionably be accorded
the measure. The people Of CARR.
Sozo are anxious for incorporation,
since they want some definite gov
ernment OF the mutual affairs of
the community, The old saying
that "Everybody's business is
nobody's business was never more
true than in the management of
public enterprise. The town has
made wonderful progress, even
though handicapped by a state Of
unincorporation, but the advasee.
ment made can all be attributed to
a peculiarly progressive bunch of
business men, willing to dig up the
dollars for the general good.
Under the new regime, there will
be mayor and a board of alder.
men-the official trustees Of the
town OF Carrizozo and responsible
for It's general developement. Be.
fore them all complaints will be
dealt with directly aud all propa
gandA for local betterment find
their proper promoters. What the
results Of the new order will be can
only be guessed at, but it is a safe
wager that the bsneiis accruing
from incorporation will be more
than the most enthusiastic promo
ters have imagined.

from Billy Roche, of New York, his
own handcuffed official.
From a standpoint of sportsman
ship and considering the battle
from an actual fighting angle, a
draw would have been a much fairer
ruling. Certainly it would have
made decided hit with the crowd
that sat and sweltered under bright
and burning western sun during the
long afternoon Of unexpected thrills.
Technically the English boy had a
slight edge of the bout, but he was
guilty of holding and stalling
throughout and this should have
counted against him with Roche.
Four hundred people dropped to
the street when the south bleachers
in Pike street fell to the ground
early in the afternoon. Over three
score were hurt, many OF them so
badly that they were taken to hos
pitfalls in ambulances. None were
killed and besides the physicians say
that none will die. The catastrophe
will cost the Hundred Million Dollar
Club bunch of money, and will pre-
vent any profit being cleared on the

money to land the Welsh-White fight

LOCAL RIDER
WINS A RACE
AT FAiRNON7
Earl Frum Wins the Motorcycle
Race at the Fairmont
Race Meet.

FA1RMoNT. Sept. 5.-From the
grand stand. from the quarter stretch,
from automobiles parked along the
rail and from the hills surrounding a
thousand persons witnessed the races
at the fair grounds yesterday after
noon.
Popular with the majority of the
auto owners present was the per
Torrance OF the Bigler Brown Bug, n
Ford in the hands OF Amos. from
New Philadelphia, o. In every race
the Bug" was the winner of money.
In the Australian relay race there
was a little dispute concerning the
ruling of the judges after Downs. in
an Overland, passed Hood. in his
Cline, on the inside. and was declared
the winner over Hood. According to
rule Of the oval it was forbidden
to pass another car on the inside, but
in this case the judges ruled that
Hood had so jockeyed his car that the
inside pass was all that Downs could
make.
Downs was probably the crowd s
favorite, for his was the only Fair
mont car that could defeat the visit
ing speeders. His passing Hood in
the ten-mile event was one of the
most thrilling moments of the after
noon.
Staged as a surprise was the 100
yard dash with local athletes entered.
John Reed Won in a close race in the
time of 0:10 3-5.
Attracting considerable attention
was the camera man of the Pathc
Company, who filmed the most thrill
ing moments OF the affair for the
Pathe Weekly, which will he shown
here some time in the future.
