The father Of Mrs. Harry Grubbs,
Mr.. Summers, died Tuesday after a
short illness. He was quite old but
was extra strong for "a mar of his age
until his last sickness. The stores
closed Wednesday afternoon in honor
of him while the funeral was in pro-
gress. II is hoped to publish his obit-
uary next week. Mr.. and Mrs. Grubbs
have the sympathy of the community
in this sad bereavement.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. S. Irwin and daugh-
ters, Lois and Marjorie, arrived on the
last Wednesday morning train for "a
short visit with Mrs. Twins father,
Mr.. j. G. Ellis. Mr.. Irwin is train
master on a division of the Rock Island
with headquarters at Pratt, Kansas.
Mr.. Irwin was injured last October
when his motor car flew the track,
from which he has not fully recover
ed. They leave for home this Friday
evening.-San Jon Sentinel.
c. X. Snow, of Ruby Alaska, was
here this week inquiring into the Red
Peaks Copper Co.'S proposition. He
represents large Eastern capitalists
and is anxious t. make an offer for
the mines here. 1t is understood that
his company has "a corner on most uf
the potash mines in the country and
it is doubtful if it would be good for
this county if they should get hold of
same as they possibly would not push
the work like the present company is
expecting to do.
Herbert Smith has sent in his res
ignation as superintendent of the gov
eminent experiment st. Ion here and
expects it to be granted. 1t is to take
effect on March 10. Mr.. Smith will
offer his service to Uncle Sam in the
event his resignation is accepted. He
prefers the aviation department but
fears he cannot pass so rigid an eX-
animation, but he is an athlete of much
ability and it is thought ne will have
10 trouble entering any department he
should choose.
]. II. league, the new grocer, is q
live wire. He believes in printers ink
and plenty of prices. This week he
competed with two mail order houses.
One order was for more than 500 worth
Of groceries and the other was for SIS
worth. In each instance he illed the
order at the price charged by the mail
order houses and the buyer took his
goods home with him. In other words
he did not have to wait two or three
weeks for the goods. He saw what
he ordered and got what he paid for.
Look owe the price list this week.
The postofiice force has been work
ing under trying circumstances lately
but they are doing their best. 1t is
said that their landlords credit got
bad ut the coal yard and the conse-
quence was they had no coal with
which to build a fire. The boys were
seen working with their overcoats,
caps and gloves on. They were forced
to conserve coal several days last week.
They will move to their new quarters
soon and they will not fare so badly
as the landlord will be a citizen of
Tucumcari. In fact several citizens.
A committee went to Logan Mon
day and was received with open arms.
Fifteen memberships were taken and
the merchants were glad to join the
Invest organization in the west-Thc
Tucumcari Chamber Of Commerce. The
name signifies nothing as it is realized
Tucumcari could do nothing unless it
was materially assisted by the sur
rounding country. Other towns will
be asked to join and while the name
is Tucumcari Chamber of Commerce
it is the intention to work for Quay
county and the whole state of New
Mexico.
City election is nearing and there
are but few candidates being consid-
cred. Good men hesitate TO run for
city office because there is no financial
remuneration and it sometimes hurts
their business, but the citizens will
demand n good clean man for mayor
who will tie the can on anything that
attempts bootlegging after the saloons
go out of business next October. We
