OFFICIAL AUDIT
OF. CITY BOOKS
Retiring Board Make COmmendable
Record as officials of Local
City Government

In this weeks issue of the Citizen
is to be found the financial statement
Of the city of Clayton for the period
covering about two years. The re-
port should be carefully examined, so
that. you might be welftand properly
informed as to the premises. 1t would
appear from the report that the busi-
ness affairs of the city were in about
as good condition as they well could
be, and that the present board, COM
posed Of Mr.. H: J;"v Hammond, as
Mayor, and Mr.. Christian Otto, Mr..
II. H. Rixey, Mr.. Carl Eklund, the
other place being recently vacated by
the resignation of Mr.. Simon Herr
stein, on account of his being chair
man of the School Board, had given
the city an honest, competent and
efficient administration of their fnan-
cial affairs.
Among the various and onerous du-
ties that involve themselves upon a
city board is the matter of the handl-
ing of the finances of the city, and
to this city at this time, it is by no
means a small consideration. This
city is on the verge Of voting bonds
to the amount of S55,000.00 for the
purpose Of improving its light and
water system, which is municipality
owned, and that we need men of affairs
to handle these questions is undisput-
ed by all.
We believe that we voice the SEN
timent of the people of the city as
whole when we say that the services
Of the retiring board have been all
that we could expect in the admins
tration of the financial affairs of the
city, and that the city owes them
vote of thanks for their competent
although gratuitous, services rendered.
Not only is praise due the board but
it is likewise due the other members
of the city officials, particularly the
city clerk, for on him rests all the
detail conected with making and keep
ing check of the city's affairs and
which comes to us in a plain under
standable manner, as is indicated in
their report. Mr.. Jones has been a
faithful servant and will have the
distinction of being the only man that
will be a candidate to succeed himself
without competition.

SHEEP FEEDING IN NEW MEXICO
A SUCCESS

The prospects now are very en-
couraging for the establishing of a
great feeding industry in New Mexico,
as the breeding experiment carried on
by Hon. F. A. Hubbell has resulted
even more favorably than its most
enthusiastic supporters hoped for.
three thousand of the lambs from the
feeding farm of the Hubbells have
been sent to market, and as they went
into the feeding pens worth about
ten thousand dollars and went on the
market worth more than twenty-eight
thousand dollars, there is ample Hoom
for a splendid profit. Mr.. Hubbell has
agreed to make public the entire busi-
ness end of the experiment for the
benet of the small farmers of the
state, as he contends they can create
an industry representing a cash money
movement Of more than twenty-five
millions Of dollars annually by feed
ing just the sheep bred in New Mex
ico.
He conducted the experiments un-
der conditions easily duplicated on any
farm in New Mexico, at a nominal
cost for pens and grain troughs. He
erected no shelters, letting the weather
do its worst, and is now satisfied that
at the final costing up it will be found
that New Mexico feeders will have ar
advantage because Of the climate Of
nearly three head Of sheep in ten
which Of itself is a good profit. II
other words, one ton of feed in thi,
state will carry about ten head o.
sheep as against seven and eight il
other feeding states.
From all parts of the state the heaC
of the candidate is bobbing to the sur
face in the political pool and the news
papers Of New Mexico have in ever,
issue columns devoted to the an
y nouncements of those who are goinj
4 to enter the field in county, distric
and state.
One of the recent entries is that O

Ex-senator Dorsey Dies in California
Once Prominent Here

The death Of Ex-senator Stephen
W. Dorsey, in Los Angeles last Sum-
day recalls to all citizens of New Mex
leo one Of the former well known fig
ures in this state in the days when we
were territory. The dorsey Ranch"
in Colfax county was one of the feat
ures in the days gone by and is still
most picturesque place even though
it is an example of the decay that
comes to those things which have be-
come neglected and deserted. It was
here that Bob Ingersoll used to meet
the well known senator and the dis
tinguished orator built a home near
the ranch long since passed into other
hands.
Stephen W. Dorsey was prom
inent figure in the political field in
the seventies and was senator from
Arkansas from 1873 to 1879, and
chairman Of the national republican
executive committee in 1876 and after
ward secretary. He was veteran Of
the civil war. Senator Dorsey has
been a resident of California since
leaving New Mexico, but his name will
long be remembered here by those who
enjoyed the hospitality of the famous
and beautiful home erected out on the
plains of Colfax county, where the
senator ranged the cattle which helped
to bring the wealth he accumulated

of the Leading Figures in New
Mexico

The death of Felix Martinez in Ell
Paso on Wednesday afternoon, after
brief illness from pneumonia, came
to the people Of the state with shock
of surprise and the sorrow that is felt
is universal. 1t was known that he
was i'll but it was not considered ser
ious, and even his closest friends were
startled at the news of his demise.
Mr.. Martinez was one Of the best
known men in New Mexico and has
been in the minds of the democrats
for months past as a man to lead the
party in the present year as he was
the candidate for that party for the
senatorial position when the first leg
islature assembled.
In many branches of business life
he was a conspicuous figure and he
was a man who made friends every
where. He had the quality of goot
fellowship and friendliness which en-
deared him to all who knew him anC
his popularity was very great. Th'
death of Felix Martinez will be fell
