ON JOHN BARLEYCoRN's TRAII

A close scrutiny Of The election re-
turns seems to indicate that prohibi-
ton in New Mexico will be very pop
ular in the event that the Republican
majority in the legislature makes its
platform pledge good and submits the
matter to n vote of the people. In
nearly every instance the state candi-
dates of both parties who have been
successful at the polls have been pro-
nounced prohibitionists, and those de-
tented have been opposed or non-com-
initial on the matter. Take the can
didacy of Gregory Page, a saloon man,

full if. in the face of these returns, the

platform and allow the people to say
whether or not they want to continue

Everybody gets the building fever
in Tucumcari when the weather get
below freezing point. It's n little bit
hard on the carpenters and brick lay
era, but they don't care when they
need the work and incidentally a lit
tie money. Just keep up the good
work. Plenty of vacant lots every,
where and plenty Of occupants ready
TO pay good rents. Modern house, not
shacks, are the requirement these days
and the town will be greatly benefited
if this spirit of Improvement is kept
up until spring.

Man Who DefieS The
NA~AANNSO0vNNANN
Roundup Hat Edict

It seems sure that the awful in
eytable must happen, In every town
or city in this broad universe there
are some people who refuse to abide
by the dictates and regulations Of the
sober and hard thinking people. So
in the great little city OF Pendleton
do we find several OF this so-called
stubborn folks and justice, cold and
exacting must be dealt out according
ly.
Yesterday it was officially decreed
by the Roundup and Happy Canyon
authorities that anyone caught on the
streets of Pendleton on the first day
of August wearing any other than a
Round Up skyplece would suffer the
humiliation and disgustation of hav-
ing said bonnet, be 1t straw, felt or
bankok, STRICKEN and destroyed. Late
yesterday afternoon following the an
nouncement a prominent Pendleton
man boldly shouted that he'd be
swoggled If he would don his Round
Up hat so early as 1t would be too
hot 1t is thought that the man was
reused to his sudden and indiscrImi-
nate act by some of the Pendleton
merchants who thought perchance
they might sell the fellow a hat after
the old one had been caved in The
officials will be on the keen lookout
for all such offenders on next Tues
day and fit burial services have been
arranged for all those.
Motto: Get out, dust up and put
on your Round-Up hat

POPULAR ROUNDUP COWBOY SAVED IN NICK OF TIME
MIXED SUIT CASES ALMOST PROVED UNDoING

That is really what happened to a
young lady last evening and this
morning she was down town bright
and early trying to find the owner
of the cowboy suit case and make a
very desirable exchange with him.
She described the contents of the suit
case she had to 7. r. O'Brien, local
agent of the O.-W. r. & N, and he
imediately tied the ribbon on Danny
Clark for no other cowboy in the
northwest carries such decidedly nice
clothes with him. Danny didn't open
his suit case when ne retired for the
night so the surprise was all the
greater this morning when he was
told what happened. Danny was ex-
pecting to leave for Cheyenne last
night to enter the steer roping contest
and there is a little amusement in
just imagining what Danny would
have looked like had he attired him
self in the clothes in the suit case
which he had and galloped out on a
horse to rope a steer
