Prepare Aviation Field

A field for test fights by the
Aviation Corps, U. S. Army, has
been cleared off a short distance
east of town. The machines will
be tested out before they are
sent TO the front.
The work of building a prison
is under way. Whether it is to
be for Villa and his followers or
not is question.
The militia y authorities are
erecting several large storage
houses to hold the supplies for
the troops until they are sent to

II. A Hulsey has been appoint.
ed first deputy sheriff to succeed
Jack Brean, resigned. Mr..
Brean has been appointed in.
spector on the sanitary cattle
board to succeed d. j Chadborn
who resigned on account of his
business affairs. Sheriff Sinip.
son aud Brean were here this
week on official business, Mr..

Electric Light Service

The Crystal Theatre will,
within the next two or three
days begin stretching their wire
through the business section OF
town. Tie electric plant has
been recently enlarged to a
capacity of sufficient size u
furnish plenty of light for all the
business houses. Since the in
creased size of the camp the line
men have been busy wiring
the ca mp and now all the per
manent part Of camp has lights.
The light question has been a
serious problem in town for a
long time. MIR. Greenwood, the
manager of the Crystal, first
tried out the system on small
scale before he decided to furnish
the business houses with electric
lights. Mr.. Greenwood is now
on a deal with the city dads to
furnish street lights. 1t is hoped
that the board will have at least
a light on every corner.
Columbus now has the appear.
ance of large city and in two
weeks from now will possibly
be using more electric power
than any city in the state with
ten times the resident population

Will Return With Mrs.

Thos. j. Cole left Tuesday for
Dallas, Texas, to meet his old
sweetheart. The arrangements
were made for the wedding TO
take place as soon as he arrived
there. Mr.. Cole had often re.
marked that it was awful lonely
living alone, but no one except
one of his closest friends had
any idea that he intended TO get
hitched so soon. The couple will
come TO Columbus in about two
weeks TO make their home.

Post Office Force Busy

The addition to the post Office
has been completed and the
employees how have plenty of
room and are well equipped to
handle the large volume of mail
that is brought in by every train.
No doubt many of the first class
postofiices are not doing half the
business that this office is. The
postmasters salary does not in.
crease now but if this keeps up
it will probably raise the class
of the Office for the next year.

Town Rapidly Growing

Since the visit by Pancho Villa
Columbus has taken new life
and is fast becoming a city.
There were few vacant houses
in town two weeks ago but they
were quickly taken. Many
places of business have been
opened in tents and corrugated
iron houses that could be
quickly built until a better loca.
ton could be found. The
restaurants have had everything
they could take care of. The
bakery does not supply one
fourth of the bread and pies
used. Orders are being sent t.
Deming and El Paso for bakery
products, all the time and it is
not unusual to go into a restur
ant now and he turned away
simply because they Lave sold
out.
All houses in town are doing q
big business. The hotels are
crowded at all times. Colum bus
is now on the map, and there tC
stay. There are openings fol
many business houses yet that
would be field of their own anG
no competition. Come to Colum

New Board Of Trustees

Columbus now has new set
Of city officers as result of the
election held Tuesday, April ith
DR.. Dabney was elected mayor,
and the other trustees are J l..
Walker, J. f. White, r. w.
Elliott and j r., Osborne, Mr..
Osborne has already rendered
his resignation, as he expects TO
to leave soon. At the first meet
ing of the board, which will be
held the first Monday in May,
"a man will be appointed to take
. MIR. Osborne's place.
The election passed off very
quietly. Only about half of the
votes were cast Many people
have moved into town since the
raid and needed four more days
residence in town tO be a voter.
At this time there is probably
100 voters within the city limits,
about twice as many as there
were two years ago.
p. X. Lemmon's name was
placed ON the ticket for mayor
but due to his position on the
school board the people dio not
consider his candidacy, his
name being placed on the ticket
against his will. MIR. Lennon
is one of the most important
members of the board Of educa.
zion and the voters did not care
To have him removed to take
up less important office. a. j..
We DIS name was on the ballot
tor trustee and received just
half of the votes that were cast.
w. +. King received one less
than half.
1t would have been impossi.
BILE for the city to have elected
better set of dads, and now
they should receive the hearty
co operation of the citizens of
Columbus.
The retiring board, w. g.
Hoover, mayor, DR.. Dabney,
Sam Ravel, A. Fredrickson and
q. f. Bourgeois, nave served the
people exceedingly well. When
they went into office the city
was over $500 in debt and no
visible means of raising the
revenue. BY means of an occu-
patton tax and water rent, the
board met all the old bills, drill.
ed a new well, bought new
engine, built a bridge across the
arroyo to the Rice addition, and
kept the old pumping plant in as
good or better working condition
than il had ever been kept before.
They, like all public officers, have
been the object of much criticism,
but when we think OF the cir.
cumstances they had to 20 up
against, and the way in which
they have met the conditions
there is absolutely no reason for
criticism, but instead they are
due our sincere thanks.
The new board have an even
start with the game, and if they
use the revenue in as economical
and business like way as the old
board has done the voters and
citizens can have no reason "a
complain. The income from the
occupation tax law. and also

The Man On The Ground

months now is a certainty. h.
c. Kniffin, a man who has had a
wide experience in the oil fields,
is here on the ground and will
soon start operations. He has
casing on the ground for one well
and also a car load of lumber for
derricks, shelters, etc.
Mr.. Kniffin has leased a large
acreage, and is making efforts to
secure more leases. The Viii
son Farnsworth Co., let their
leases expire on April 9th with
out doing anything and IL Is
possible that Mr. Kniffin will
be able to secure these leases.
One thing that has held the
development work back all the
time since the discovery of oil
and gas here has been the failure
of many of the land owners TO
lease their property. There
have been several different com
panies here trying to get leases
and each outfit has been success
full in securing a few but none of
them able to get enough leases
to protect themselves in case
they, after making tests, deyel
oped a well.
1t is nothing unusual in an oil
field to put dow i dry hole. In
some of the best fields il the
country several blank wells have
been sunk before an oil well was
found, and the fact that one or
two wells fail to develop oil does
not prove it is not there. No
large company is going to take
chances ON sinking a deep test
well in undeveloped territory
unless he has plenty of land tC
protect himself in case he does
find a paying well.
Mr.. Knifhn is a man of exper-
ience. He is backing his judge
ment with his money. He has
already been at large expense
in securing his leases and buying
casing, lumber, etc, He is now
here for business. The larger
territory he has the greater
effort he will put forth to deyel
op the field. He will soon start
his first well. Why not give
him a chance at your property
ana help the work along?
He expects to bring in some
well d-illing rigs shortly, but
will start his first hole with the
rig of II w. Elliott, This is a
rig capable of going to a depth Of
POGO to 5000 feet and seems to be
in good working condition at the
present time. + l.. Painter is
the driller, and he has put a hole
down 45O feet for MIR. Elliott,
which is the only perfectly
straight hole in the valley at
this depth. He has kept the
machine going all the time and
has kept it in good order. 1t
seems now that the trouble with
this outfit in the past has been
the lack of the proper man 10
handle ii.
If the property owners will
stay with MIR. Kniffin a thorough
test will be made in different
parts of the valley If they dc
not and let some other company
come in and get hold of part OF
the land it will hold up the work
again except on the particular
properties leased by Mr.. Knitfin
He is on the ground and means
business and the thing to do is
to let him go ahead
Stiles, Carl and Poole have
oeen ready for almost one year
to start work at ny time il they
could get leases To protect them

 A special program will be giv- en by the Epworth League at : 40 p. m. in the Auditorium en- titled, "Epworthians Tribute to Their Mothers,' , accompanied by the Orchestra, and some special selections by them.
 300 is the Aim for the Bible School. With an enrolment of 326, and some visitors, we ought to reach that figure easily. It Is hoped that each teacher will round up his or her class and pass by the mark set. A steady pull and all together will do the thing. Let the entire procession move together.

ment to this country as was that recently sent here by the German Government The U- nited States only asked the German Government to stop sinking passenger ships, on the high seas, without warning, and without giving the passengers a chance to save their lives, and this, that Government says that it will do; and if this much had been said, and no more, the friendly relations between the two countries would have been streng thened; but the note shows bitterness of feeling a. gainst America, and by inuendo and insinuation, accuses this country of favoring it's enemies, and charges that England has ignored all demands made upon 1t by the American Government i.
 This statement, while untrue, is a matter between our Govern ment and the English Govern ment, that Germany has noth. ing to do with 1t IS the policy of the A mericau Government to deal with all foreign Govern ments, separately, and ia deal- ing with them to do so as best seems proper, and 1t i'll becomes one Government to charge parti- ality in our dealings with any other country.
 There is much diversity of O. pinion by the press, on the tenor of the note; some appear to think the concessions are all that IS necessary, while others think there are no concessions at all; but we deem the conces- sions ample, if carried out, but the manner in which they arc made, is anything but satifac- tory or desirable.

The German Reply to the American Note.

At last the German reply to the American note on the subject of its infamous and cowardly sub marine warfare has been forwarded to this country, and while the German Government comedies the American point and issues it's orders to it's naval commanders to conform thereto, its language, instead of that which should emanate from a great nation, which boasts of it's erudition and gentility, is couch
 ed in boorish and disgustingly insulting phraseology, which is, in itself. just cause to sever all diplomatic relations with that bigoted and much over-rated country. The German Govern
 ment may avoid a severance of the diplomatic relations by the concessions 1t IS making, but the friendly relations will, neces- sarilv, be more or less strained by the sending of such a docu
