OFFICIAL COUNT ALMOST
FINISHED IN CALIFORNIA

Sacramento, Cal, Nov. 25.-Figures
tabulated at the office of the secretary
of state today when the canvass of
San Francisco county's returns for
presidential electors had been compil-
ed, showed that the highest democratic
elector had n margin Of 3,806 votes
over the highest republican in the vote.
Figures were: j. Francis Heney, high
est democrat, 466,2OO; J. +. Carlston,
highest republican, 462, 1894. The low
est democratic elector, Mrs. Carrie l..
Tyler, was found to have AGA, 3,62l votes
or q margin Of 1927 over the highest
republican. These figures do not in
clude the amended vote of Orange
county, where the addition of the vote
of n missing r ,cinct is said to make a
difference of thirty-three votes in ia
vor of the republican electors.
While the above results have not
been accorded official certilication by
the secretary of state, they are eonsid-
cred correct and. Is not expected the
result Of the canvass when officially
announced will differ materially. Tab
ulation Of the entire vote of San Fran
cisco county will be finished today, but

TOURISTS PASS

w. T. Stanberry, of the Amarillo
Daily News, and r. a. Babb, also Of
Amarillo, were Tucumcari visitors to-
day. They were on their way home
from Las Vegas and were trying out
the new extension of the Ozark Trail.
They said the road between Tucum-
carl and Hanley was the worst on the
route. Tucumcari gets more cussing
than all the other towns in the world
and all on account Of the bad roads.
People like to come here. but they
cant enjoy the trip the way the road
now is, but wait awhile and perhaps
when Tucumcari is as old as some OF
the other towns she will enjoy good
roads in all directions.
Mr.. StanLerry was well pleased with
our country and If we will make the
roads better so an autoist can make at
least 20 miles an hour all the way
the road will be kept warm with tour.

SPREADS OUT
OTHERS MUST MOVE

II. Goodman is spreading out, as it
was supposed he would when he came
to Tucumcari. He is not content with
one store room. He is having u large
ware-room erected on the back of the
lot now occupied by his grocery store.
He has leased the adjoining store-room
and will take possession of same the
first of the year.
Mr. Goodman said he was not tell
ing just now what he would put in the
other room, but the people of Tucum-
carl may well expect him to ill it with
good salable merchandise. He is n
irm believer in the prosperity of New
Mexico and Tuclmcari. He came here
because he liked it better than any
other town in the state. He intends to
make his home here and this new ad-
ditonal store room may not be all he
will spread out before many months.
The Ridley barber shop will move to
the room now occupied by the Severe
Millinery Store. The room is some
what small but it is the best Mr.. Rid
ley could find.
Mrs. Severe does not know where
she will move her store to as nearly
every building in town is now occu-
pied. The business buildings are as
scarce as residences. II means some
money will be in demand next year
for the erection or nice business blocks
and the investment would be good
