Million Dollars Wheat Crop

1t is conservatively estimated thai
there will be in the ncighborhood
of 10000 acres of wheat sown in
Curry county this fall. The wheat
prospect looks good there this fall
for there is a good deal of moisture
in the ground and with SHOWS this
winter and a favorable spring it is
not at all impossible for Curry
county to have a million dollar wheat
crop next summer. This will affect
the prosperity of the county mater
tally and it is to be hoped that the
farmers hopes for a big grain crop
will be fully materialized next sum-
mer.-Roswell Star.

The paving Of several streets in
Las Vegas has been ordered dis
continued until spring on account of
weather too cold to permit the prop
er laying of cement. The streets had
been plowed and part Of the work
done when V. K. Jones, city engineer,
issued the delay order.
The lumber in the grand stand
and buildings at Gallinas Park, five
miles north of Las Vegas, formerly
a great summer pleasure park, has
been sold to farmers at Levy, and
the buildings are being tori down
and the lumber hauled to that place
where it is being used to build a
wheat elevator.
If the oil exists in New Mexico, it
is likely to be discovered within the
next twelve months. That is the
belief of careful observers who have
been watching the rapid extension
of leasing and drilling and prepare
ton for drilling by the big develop
ment and producing concerns now in
this field. The Gypsy Oil company,
the Mccain Oil company and the
Ohio Cities Service company, all
widely known prospecting com
panies, have combined their inter
ests in leases from twenty to thirty
miles south of Las Vegas, the land
holdings covering nearly half a mil
lion acres. The combination has
now shipped in one of the finest
drilling equipments ever set up in
New Mexico and are down more
than 1000 feet with a twenty-five
inch hole. The three companies ex-

The election Of the entire Repub-

OF the state failing to go to the polls.
The votc in the entire state was

the state showed a greater falling
off than other sections.-Clovis News,
Yes that is a very good excuse. But
why did the Democrats fail to go
to the polls? Why don't the News
and a few other east side papers tell
that part of the story: Or would it
be a violation OF party etiquet to say
that their convention was bossed by
Crist, Gilbert and Seligman and that
the voters objected to swallowing
