v. D. GALLAHER DIES
AFTER MAKING BRAVE
FIGHT WITH THE 7. B.

W. ID. Gallaher, who came here sew
cral years ago, from Slndersville, Ga,
5uiiering from that dread disease, tu-
Nerculosis, died Tuesday morning, and
the body was shipped 20 his old home
FOR burial. leaving here Thursday morn
ing.
When Mr.. Gallaher first came here
about three years age, he secured a
tcnt and other apparatus and campcd
On the Eager ranch northeast of Tu-
cumcari. He improved in health and
was not content to relain idle so he
went into business, fir.t in the whole
sale produce business, then he pur-
chased the coal business Of VIM. .Troup.
He was splendid bu mess man and
made many friends although his health
was bad at all times. lie would have
back-sets and then rail- :, return to his
work only to have another backset and
lose the strength he hid gained while
resting at home. He rad wife and
two children back in Georgia but they
would not come to New Mexico to stay
with him. He was horl esick and lone
some most of the time when he was
not working and this ended to cause
him to lose all the 'cngth he had
ever gained. Mr.. CT 'laher made a
brave fight for life and would have
won, under different conditions.
His many friends knew Of his re-
cent sickness and of his supposed re-
covery. He returned to his work on
Wednesday and continued to stay at
the Office most of the iime until Sat
urday. He was unable to get the coal
he ordered from the mines on account
Of the confscation Of same by the rail
roads. This worried him quite little
and his customers could not under
stand why they could not buy coal.
This together with his weakened con-
dition are said to have been too much
for him and the end came to his re-
lief Tuesday morning.
His folks were tclegraphed and ask
ed what to do with the body. No an
swe- "nme from his wife for two days
ana 1t wGs learned later that she was
visiting at Alton, Va. A brother in
Florida tclegrarhcd to prepare the
body for shipment and hold until his
wife was heard from. Late Wcdnee-
day word was received 20 ship the body
70 Sandersville, Ga, and it was sent
out on the first train.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE
STATE TAX COMMISSION

That more adequate and complete
assessing system is necessary in this
state in order TO secure n proper valu-
alton and assessment. In this connec-
tion we might state that the only
method Of "ccuring proper assess
ment is to have actual visitation and
inspection by the assessors.
Larger power should be vested in
the Tax Commission over the assess
mcnt and collection of taxes, and the
making of county and municipal levies.
Some definite plan OF estimating ex-
pensc and expenditure in advance for
the fiscal year, should be made com
pulsory on the local officials, or in 9th
er words, we believe that budget sys-
TEN should be adopted.
Antiquities and conflicting provi-
sions OF present laws should be cor
rected and a codihcation of our school
tax la VS. made.
Some method should be provided for
clearing up our rolls Of back taxes.
either by sale, compromise or rebate,
and in the event Of compromise or re-
bate, the Tax Commi sion should be
made party and no compromise or re-
bate allowed without its consent.
That it would be a matter of great
economy and efficiency if the Office OF
Travelling Auditor were placed with
the Tax Commission, so that the Tax
Commission would have the supervi-
sion and control Of the Travelling Au.
ditor.
That the Tax Comm ssion has been
seriously hampercd since it's organi-
cation by lack of fund, and it is the
opinion of the Commis ion that in or
der to carry on the work, the present
appropriation should be at least doub-
led.

Work on the new hotel is progress
ing fine. the tar and gravel roof be-

-Glenrio Tribune Progress.
The above item throws some light
on the movement of gravel and sand
through TuCumcari the past few days.
Saturday 1t looked like all the gravel
and sand in the west pa"t of the coun.
ty was being moved through Tucum-
carl or some point in the east. Mon
day was another gravel and sand day
and Tuesday some more passed this
city. That hotel Mt G.enrio must he
"whoppar" if il takes all the sand
and gravel in the county to cover it.
II is hoped that if they need any more
up that way they will use the railroad
and not trust TO the elements to carry
it as quite lot of it was left here in
places that can do very well without

HAZEL McDARIS ALLEN

Little Hazel Allen, the adopted
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman
Allen, and the pride of their home, de-
parted this life Sunday, Dec. "a, after
an illness of short duration from men,
ingitis.
About two weeks before her death
she was taken sick with kidney trouble
which turned into meningitis. For
several days her condition had been
quite critical and il she had recovered
physically she would have remained
cripple. This fact made no differ
ence with Mr.. and Mrs. Allen and they
did all in their power to save the lit
tie girls life, but not until Sunday
morning when she died did all hope
van.sh.
Hazel was IL years of age and the
daughter of Roe McDaris of Quay.
Her mother preceded her some years
ago and she was taken into the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Allen, where she was
loved and cherished as though she had
been their own child. She had many
little playmates and life was pleasant
in every respect, but fate decreed she
was needed elsewhere and the angel
of death took her from this earthly
tabernacle to the everlasting home.
The bereaved have the sympathy OF
all and it is hoped they will be COM
forted to know that Little Hazel will
not be caused to suffer the pangs tina,
she would have perhaps incurred by
tina. dreadful disease, had she been
saved from death only to be left q
cripple.
Funeral services were conducted or
Tuesday morning from the residence
on Gaynell avenue, and the little body
was taken to the cemetery near Quay
and placed beside the mother, ther.
TO await the resurrection morn.

WASHINGTON SEES
HOPE FOR PEACE
IN GERMAN ANSWER

Washington, Dec. 26.--Germany's
reply to President Wilson's note Is re-
garded here as having advanced the
peace movement another step, despite
the fact that it disappoints in not
meeting his suggestions for an avow-
nj Of terms.
The reception Gcrmany's reply re-
ceivcs among the entente allies. whose
statesmen have publicly declared they
were against such n program, now
becomes the point upon which fur
ther move is hinged. The German
note probably is the prelude to Sc
ries Of carefully considered delicate
moves in the great game of world dip
lomacy, all possibly leading to n real
consideration Of peace terms on the
grounds which the beligerents may
feel can place them at no disadvantage
This is the official view Of Germany's
reply so far as it has been formulated
on the basis Of the unofficial text. The
official copy had not been received to-
night and President Wilson was keep
ing his mind open.
Neutral diplomatic quarters, too, re-
garded the note rs step toward peace
and rather leaned to the view that Ger
many might follow it with confden-
tial communication of some sort out
lining her terms.
The views of the entente embassies,
frankly expressed, was that the note
was not an answer to President Will
sons communication. but rather q doc
ument for official circulation in Ger
many and in neutral countries with
the object of molding opinion to place
the responsibility for continuing the
war on the entente. Among the Ger
manic diplomats, the only view ex-
reply had preceded receipt of the en-
tente's response to Germany's original
peace proposal on December l2.
1t was everywhere agreed that the
principal sticking point was the lack
of definite statement Of terms, such
as President Wilson asked, and such
as Lloyd George. declared the allies
would require If they were not to put
their "heads in moose with the rope
in the hands of the Ge mans" 1t is
not beyond the realm of Diplomacy,
Ho"cNci' W li'iu ~ way W b'Nu liiuJ
difficulty and Germany failure is not
regarded as n block to the negotia-
tions, although it makes them exceed
ingly difficult.
Germany's declaration that she re-
CARDS the work of securing the world
against future wars TIE work to he
taken up after the present conflict was
ended, was regarded with diversity Of
opinion. Officials who turned back and
compared the statement with the mes
sage of President Wilson did not find
the two out of harmony, nor in dis
agreement with the presidents public
utterances on world league to pre-
serve peace; yet there was an indefin-
able opinion abroad in official quarters
that the ending of the war and the
safeguarding of peace of the future
were joint problem so inseparable
that one depended upon the other.
Those taking this view referred to
Lloyd Georges declaration that the
allies would consider it possible to en-
ter conference only if Germany
would first openly offer reparation
restitution and aaarantees.
