Road Board Holds Meeting

The Luna county road board
held "A meeting Monday afternoon
aU the chamber of commerce for
the purpose of outlining road
work for the coming year. A
tinanancial statement shows that
the funds on land amount to a
trihe more than $4,000. This
includes the original S25, 600 in
road bonds, $500 in road taxes,
and $500 in automobile licenses
The road board has spent less
than a thousand dollars of its
funds in placing existing roads
of the county in repair.
The board has ordered that
estimates for the construction OF
a road up the Mimbres river be
made by the county engineer.
Three routes will be surveyed
what is known as the north
road by way f. Dryer, the 'mio.
die" road by Lndaur's ranch
and Coleson's farm, and the
south road by HAYWOOD and
Spalding stat:or. The main
construction will be on the route
tnat has been determined TO be
the best; but this does not mean
that the other roads will not re.
ceive attention. The estimates
will include two crossings aud a
bridge over the river. just
where these will be placed has
not yet been determined.
A delegation came up from
| Columbus last week TO protest
against the construction of a
south road by way of the east
side of the Tres Hermanas
mountains instead of along the
old grade. The delegation in
sisted that the road as originally
projected is the better route
cheaper to construct and serving
the most persons in the Gap.
In view of this protest, the work
on the south road was halted

s O'CLOCK FIRE NEAR
 E.W. CARLSON HOME

At a few minutes past six lats Friday morning the people of Williams were startled and many awakened by the weird call of the Town fire alarm. A few minutes later the alarm was sounded again and ashort time afterwards aloud explosionn was heard. The cause of the disturb ance was fire at the back end of w. Carlson's lot in Block 12 on Bill Williams Avenue. On the alley at the back end of this lot were a number of small build ings and in some way fire had caught in the east end. There are a number of shacks on the south side of the alley which are occupied as residences and it is supposed that the morning fire in some one of them had sent spark abroad which lodged in Mir. Carlson's building and set it on fife. The wind was blowing briskly and in the right direction to fan the flame.
 The second alarm was sounded for the reason that little atten- tion was paid to the first. The explosion was of dynamite being used in sinking a hole on MT. Carlson's lot to be used as a cess pool. Sticks of dynamite had been deposited near by for future use and the fire reached them and set them off.
 The Williams fire department got the fire under control at once and there remained only the work of putting it out which was accomplished in less than an hour. The loss of buildings will aggregate about $400 which is pretty well covered with insur- ance.

 Last Year

Jackson, Miss, January 6.-(SpeciaI.) Uncle Dick Matthews, the retiring pen- ltentiary trustee, has filed his last repors or farm inspections, and goes somewhat into statistics that are interesting, show ing, as he does, what the convicts made last year. He gives the total cotton crop at 64O0 bales, of which 4000 have been sold. and 1900 are yet to gin. The cotton sold averaged, counting seed, $S5 per bale The harvest of corn showed 10000 bushels 2090 tons of hay, 5000 gallons of syrup 19, 250 bushels sweet potatoes, 24OO bushels Irish potatoes, 300 bushels peanuts, 2400 bushels wheat, 300 bushels oats, 2,Ooo 0OO brick manufactured 100000 shingles made S00,0G0 feet lumber cut.

'. M. |. A. DEFEATS TUSCALOOSA FIVE Good Playing of Brooks Makes Local Victory
 Possible

Y. M C. A. opened the 1916 basketball season with a hard-earned victory over the Tuscaloosa Y. M. c. A. last night were almost evenly matched, as the score indicates
 The locals were materially weakened by the loss of bowman, who has been playing at center, and Estes, one of the star guards both of whom were absent from the lineup in the game last night. However, Captain Brooks took the re- sponsibility upon himself of defeating the visitors and rolled up 20 of the total points scored by the locals.
 Brooks played star game through out and the local victory must be cred ited to him in a large extent. Mathis at center and Greenwood at guard also played a good game for the locals.
 The playing in the first half was about even. The locals led throughout the game. and at the end of the first half led the visitors by score of F to 10. Brooks made 10 of these points.
 The pass work of the locals was not as good as expected, although they did outclass the visitors in this respect. Fum- bles were numerous on both sides, as were fouls. Both teams showed pros- poets of developing into a good machine.
 The goal shooting of both teams came in streaks. Numerous easy shots on both sides were frequently missed, while long shots often brought the crowd to it's feet. Brooks and Bowman were es- pecially active in this respect, making several goals from the middle of the floor.
 The team work of the locals slightly outclassed the visitors. Neither showed up to any great advantage, but this can be accounted for in that it was the first game of the season.
 The locals displayed superiority in every department of the game, but lacked the punch to roll the score any higher. In fact they had very lively fight to win out over the Tuscaloosa boys The game was exciting throughout and mem- bers of both teams deserve praise for the game they played.
 The summary and lineup follows:

Is Scheme of Making Money for Club-Plan Origi- mated by President
 Heinemann

New Orleans club owners have new scheme to make money for the club. It i sto build a hotel and clubhouse in the Times -Picayune in telling of the clubs annual meeting:
 'rhe project of operating a stag hotel and roadhouse in conjunction with the park met with popular ap- proval, President Heinenann bringing out the possibilities which lay in the proposition. He explained that New Orleans, was due to become the mecca of sportdom of the country, and that through baseball alone the fhotel and roadhouse would meet a need.
 There will be about 70 major league ball players here at one time during this spring, and stag hotel undoubt- edly would be patronized by the visit ing clubs. The stockholders were of the opinion that the affair could be made paying propositiotn, and Pres ident Heinemann was instructed to consult with Club Architect Emile Well relative to drawing up plans and specir ficationS.
 Tt long has been President Heine- mann's ambition to SC a modern club house erected at the park, as many or the visiting big league clubs often md it inconvenient to leave the park in their togs and dress at private resi- dences or hotels in town. Then again, the Cleveland American league team will train here this spring, and it will be necessary to provide better ac- commodations than they enjoyed here befOre"

 PITCHERS, DEAD
Member of Yankees-Was Formerly Star TwirIer of National League With

Bay City, Mich, January s-Leonard C'King'O Cole, pitcher on the New York Americans, died at his home here today.
 New York, January 6.-"King" J. Cole made his record as a star twirler while member of the Chicago Nationals under the management of Frank Chance. Dur ing 1910 and 1911 he ranked among the leading pitchers of the league. In 1912 Cole went to the Pittsburg club. Later he was procured by Chance for the New York Americans.
 Cole never reached the pitching form in this city that he showed in Chicago, al- though he developed flashes of his old time speed and curves at times. Last season Cole was informed that he had in ternal trouble, necessitating an operation He was out of the game the greater part of the summer, and it was not until the pennant race was more than half com p'eted that he returned to the mound The records show he worked in but 10 games during 1915, allowing an average of 3.l7 earned runs per game.
