TO FORM SOCIETY
Engineers of the Southwest
Will Meet and Form
An Organization

Mr.. A. F. Barnes, dean of en-
gineering of the New Mexico Col
lege of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts, State College, N. NJ, has
been endeavoring to organize a
southwestern engineering society.
Letters have been received from
prominent engineers in the three
states of New Mexico, Arizona and
Texas expressing the need of such
an organization. Among the men
who have promised their support
are Dean c.. M. Butler of the Uni
versity of Arizona, Tucson, Ari-
zona; Dean S. H. Worrel1 of the
Texas School of Mines, at FL Paso,
Texas; Professor Brennenan of the
University of New Mexico, A1bu-
querque, N. M; Mr.. Samuel I.
Bousman, engineer of the Chino
Copper Company, Hurley, N. M;
Mr.. H. L. Stevens, consulting. re-
frigeration engineer, FL Paso,
Texas; Mr.. E. H. Baldwin of Ell
Paso, Texas, project manager of
the Elephant Butte Dam; and Mr..
S. O. Andres, Albuquerque, N.
NJ, Chairman of the New Mexi-
co State Directors, Naval Consult
ing Board"
The object of this organization
will be to promote the science of
engineering in the southwest. The
principle means for this purpose
will be: First. the holding of
meetings for the reading and dis
cussion of professional papers espe-
cially upon such questions as are
peculiar to this region. Second, to
give opportunity for social inter
course and thus establish a COM
mon interest in the welfare of the
engineering profession.
1t is planned in a short time to
call meeting of those engineers
that have shown interest in the
matter, and at such time draw up
tentative plans and program for a
general meeting to be held at a
suitable place at which time final
organization can be effected:
In the meantime, anyone inter
ested in the promotion of such a

The Jitney Carnival

The pupils of the Benson Union
High School are holding a Jitney
Carnival" today on the vacant lot
the corner of Fifth and Huachuca
streets. They have planned to have
a big time, with various kinds of

tertainment will no doubt attract a
big crowd. The proceeds will go
into the school athletic fund.

Contest Proceeding Slowly
at PhOenix---Campbell
LOsinn Votes

Phoenix, Dec. 12.-The count
ing of ballots in the recount de-
manded by Governor Hunt against
Tom E. Campbell, his successful
opponent at the late election start
ed today. One hundred and fifty
ballots were counted but no changes
were made.
The major portion of the day
was taken up with arguing on a
motion offered by Campbe1l's at
torney to stop the recount, as
Campbell had not received his GER
tifcate of election. On the con-
trary he has asked the secretary of
state for it, and has been refused.
Judge Sanford will give his decision
tomorrow.
The recount is very slow, and at
the rate the inspectors went today
it will take two months to finish it.
It is probable that something will
be done to expedite matters.

Phoenix, Dec. 14.-Twenty-six
hundred ballots out of about 900
of NJ aricopa county have been in
spected in the contest for governor
at the end of the third day. No
changes of Importance were dis
covered, though many of the ballots
were laid aside for the character of
them to be determined in court.
The net changes so far. have been

errors having been discovered in
the making of additions in two pre-
cints. These changes reduce the
majority of Campbell to nineteen.

Phoenix, Dec. 13.-The inspec-

the Maricopa precincts had been
finished, though most Of them were
small.
The inspection resulted in a gain
of 13 votes for Governor Hunt,
though FIVE of those votes may not
finally be counted for him. That
will depend upon the construction
that may be placed upon them by
the court. They were mismarked
ballots from A1hambra precinct.
