CONTRACT LET
FOR $4l,9OO.OO
TO MIR. ROGERS

The contract for the erection Of the
school buildings in Tucumcari was let
last week 20 Contractor Rogers of
Texas. His bid was several thousand
dollars under the next lowest and as
soon as the funds arrive in exchange
for the bonds Mr. Rogers will start
work, perhaps on the grade building
in the east part of town Il will con
tain eight rooms and will be construct
ed Of rock. A local man will oversee
the work and the contract must be
followed. This will give Tucumcari
two excellent buildings. Six other
contractors submitted bids but they
were $4,000 TO $4,000 higher than
Mr.. Rogers lie has recently COM
pleted buildings in Texas which were
similar to these and feels sure there
will be nothing in the way to complete
them within a few months exactly ac-
cording to specifications.
The schools are crowded to over
flowing with students now and IL Il
were not for scarcity Of houses in the
city, there would hardly be standing
room in some Of the grades. The real
estate men turn away prospective cit
Zens every day. II is necessary for
them 10 hunt other towns in which TO
live and school their children. This
situation will not continue long NJ
good houses are always in demand and
bring good rents, thus an investment
in cottages, bungalows or modern res
idents will be valuable TO those who
have the money with which TO make
the investment.
There is no city anywhere that has
more desirable building lots for sale.
To the south, east and west there are
lots that can be bought reasonable
enough TO allow person with a small
amount of cash to build home. The
Tucumcari Lumber Yard is in a po-
sition TO sell the lumber on payments
or build the houses and sell the prop
erty on payments II you have made
up your mind to become n permanent
resident of Tucumcari, why not buy
a lot and build house to suit your
family needs. Leave the "for rent"
houses to those who are new and not
yet decided as TO what and where they
will do and reside. Tucumcari has
withstood this dry summer without
much hardship on the part Of anyone,
so the day of experiment is passed.
Now that we are to have a fine eight
room. school building in the east part
Of town and splendid new High
School building, equipped with audi
torium, gym, and modern throughout.
what more could we desire? Some
prophesy that the commencement Of
the erection of the school buildings
will start a much-needed boom in the
construction Of modern cottages and
bungalows

MRS. |. c. BARNES DIES

Mrs. |. G. Barnes, who was stricken
with paralysis several months ago and
has been an invalid ever since, died
Monday at the family residence near
the High School.
The remains were shipped to Iowa
where she formerly lived and where
her people now reside. Mr.. Barnes ac-
companied the body and will remain
there short time before returning
TO Tucumcari. He is as yet undecided
whether he will remain resident Of
Tucumcari or not.
Mrs. Barnes is one of the first ladies
Of Tucumcari. She together with her
husband, owned considerable of the
land on which Tucun carl not stands,
and she always liked TO live here. She
was stricken with paralysis several
times and partially rallied each time
but of late she had been confined to
her home and was not strong enough
to be taken out in the auto. Her hus-
band sold the store so that he could
always be near her and administer to
her wants, which he did both night
and day until the end came.
Their many friends join the News
in extending sympathy to the bereav-
ed husband.

CUT YOUR WEEDS

An effort is being made to have ev-
cry citizen who believes in civic pride,
to cut his weeds or have some person
cut them before the Roundup. Some
of the wild steers or horses might get
out of the fair grounds and hide in
front of your residence among the
weeds making it dangerous. Don't
wait for frost to loosen the thistles
and turn them loose on your neighbor,
hut follow the golden rule, DO unto
others as you would have others do
unto you" Cleanliness is next to God
illness. Perhaps the city authorities
will find enough money to pay for
grading the streets, which need il

TO MAKE HUEY
 HIS ASSISTANT

Edward Patillo, candidate for coroner, announced last night that he would ap- point as his assistant in the coroner s office, O. l.. Huey of Bessemer and would establish branch offices of the cor oner's office in Bessemer, to be presided over by Mr. Huey. The present clerk in the coroner's office at the courthouse will be retained, MT. Patillo stated, in the event of his election to the office he seeks.
 Tt seems to me that the best thing to do is to announce who I will have for my assistants in the event of my elec- tion,' said MT. Patillo last night. 'Mr. Huey Is not aware of the fact that I have it in my mind to make him my as- sistant if elected, and, of course, this announcement is conditioned upon his acceptance of the appointment. Of course, I would not care to make prom ises of jobs right and left, and the best solution of the question of assistants in the office is to let the voters know who they will be before election. Then if some disgruntled office seeker wants to vent his anger, he can do it with his vote at the polls, knowing in advance who will get the places.
 'I am perfectly willing that everyone should know who l want for my assist ants and believe that those whom I have selected are thoroughly capable

 The capture of the expedition by the navy secret service is considered a re- markedly clever piece of work An au- tomobile with Irish confederates awaited Sir Roger Easement ashore. The ma chine and it's three occupants were seized by secret service men, When Easement s party of three landed, they walked into the arms of their enemies.
 The expedition consisted merely of a submarine and 1000-ton steamer, which approached the coast at different points Easement and his companions landed in a rowboat from the submarine.
 When arrested, Easement is reported to have maintained a good front and apparently was without hope of escap- ing death for treason. It is believed that his trial and condemnation will be speedy, although for the present it is not possible to say whether he will be executed.
 Representatives of the American em- bassy have, been in conference with the officials in charge of the case, presumably regarding the American ramification.
 The steamer was sunk with all her cargo, consisting of rifles, machine guns and ammunition.
