IN CONGRESS is
CRITICISED by MAYORS

Washington, March 4.-Sharp criti-
cism of congress for not passing ap-
preparation and other measures and of
government departments for what was
termed failure to cooperate to the full
est in providing employment and in
releasing raw materials, developed at
the White House conference of gov
ernors and mayors called to consider
labor and business problems.
Mayor Rolph of San Francisco, who
led the discussion, declared congress
had failed to pass great appropriation
measures at q time when the country
was looking to the federal government
to set an example to states and MUM
cipalities in the handling of business.
Mayor Mahoney Of Newport, r l., then
charged that government plants in his
city had refused to re-employ men who
Jeff the plants to go to war, some Of
whom had returned bearing wound
stripes. Mayor Peters of Boston said
business there would be assisted great
ly If the government would come to
some determination of policy rs to raw
materials, such as wool and leather,
which were controlled during the war.
Momentary CONSERVATION was caused
when the deliberations in the historic
east room Of the White House were
interrupted by man who announced
himself as representative of Boil
shevism in America" and said he had
come to hear the representative of Sc
attic tell Of recent troubles in that
city. He gave his name as j. &. Par
ker, an engineer of Philadelphia. His
offer to tell the conference of his in
vestigations into social unrest was re-
fused after several delegates made the
roint that he was not accredited to the
conference. Later he left the execu-
tive mansion.
Mayor Rolph frequently was inter-
rupted by applause during his discus
sion of conditions.
"The country and the cities are all
right; whatever trouble exists CEN
ters right here" the San Francisco
mayor declared. "Why did filibus-
ter defeat the great appropriation
measures? Why shouldn't congress
be reconvened to take up problems
faced by all the states? Why are the
government officials resigning? These
are some of the questions want to
ask

NINETY-NINE

II may be of interest TO the readers
to know where "Ninety-Nine" is.
This is school district carved out
of old No. 12 in the southern part of
Union county and is embraced in Twp.
l6, Range 81.
These "sand hills" as this part is
called, is settled by bunch of thrifty
farmers from the east and they are
here to stay, and since they are max
ing good crops they will not only stay
but are looking forward to improving
their farms. Another good crop will
place these people independent.
Say, did you know this land pro-
duced as high as $40 to the acre last
year? Well, it did, and there was
plenty of it that did that well.
Just now there is some uncertainty
as to what to plant this year. Beans
have gone to the bottom and so has
broom corn. We hear that down near
Logan they are going to plant cotton.
Cotton would do well If we should
have a real warm summer ith warm
nights, but If it is as il usually is,
cotton will not do well.
Better stick TO kafr, milo and raise
hogs to feed it to.
We continue to have snow and some
rain both of which keep the ground
in fine condition.
Some of the cattle are dying, but
considering the cold winter they have
done quite well.
Ben Drummond has returned home
from Honolulu where he has been in
the army.
Silas Anderson and Manual Fuentes
returned from camp Pike some time
ago.
J. C. Gallegos is back from San An
.Jnio. We are glad to see the boys
return, but our friend and neighbor

well to care for the sick. No fatali-
ties are reported.

TO FORCE BILINGUAL BILL

Before IA corps OF special newspaper
reporters who met in Santa Fe last
Saturday Gov. Larrazolo set into mo-
ton certain cogs of publicity which
are calculated to justify his education
al plan before the people of the state
and to pacify the opposition to the
point of making less severe the grill
ing which seemed in the path of the
bi-lingual bill in the legislature.
Although certain press organs Of
the state have sought to explain the
governors educational plan, it is held
by most educators that the governor
has not receded from his determina-
ton to force Spanish into the states
schools. and that the interview which
'Nas given to the public last week was
but seanca of ccmouflage on the
part of the party newspapers. That
the governor is determined 70 force his
point it is said bechme evident during
the course of the interview with the
newspaper reporters when the states
executive is alleged to have become
almost vitriolic in his denunciatiOn Of
opposition to his educational plan.

TUCSON GETS CATTLEMEN'S CON.
VENTION FOR l92O--TUCUMCARI
BAND MAKES BIG HIT IN EL PASO

cupied the chief attention of the visit
ing stockmen yesterday afternoon.
"Tucumcari, N. NJ, thus far has
made the strongest bid for the 1920
convention. Pep" concentrated and
well displayed, is the chief character
istic of the Tucumcari delegation.
THE unusual feature of cowboy
band is drawing the attention Of the
entire convention to the Tucumcari
delegation. Free with their music,
unique in their costumes, the bands
men made a decided hit at their first
appearance yesterday. The bandsmen
are attired in chaps, boots, spurs, silk
shirts, many-hued kerchiefs, broad
brimmed hats, and all that makes the
garb of plainsman complete. Their
specially is Jazz music, which sets the
foot of tapping and the listening of
dreaming"
Fort Worth also has made claim
for the 1920 convention, but the gen.
eral opinion is that the cowmen will
gather next year in Tucumcari.
Charles F. Vowel will present the
claims of the Tucumcari delegation at
the meeting Wednesday,"

GAvEL WORK IS EXCELLENT

Right after the discordant elements
in the house had apparently smoothed
out and the Republican machine had
been put in fine running order, the en-
tire organization blew up again when
the Nepotism bill was introduced by
Carter of Socorro. Herbert of Chaves
democrat, led the fight against the bill
and Speaker Sedillo helped the fun
along by some of the most arbitrary
gavel work that has ever been seen
in the house. SO unjust were some
Of his decisions that Carter appealed
from one ruling and asked if it would
be possible to discover method by
which the house could protect itself
against a decision that was unfair and
wrong, and Clancy broke out in Bit
ter attack on Sedillo for debating this
and other bills from the chair, as he
had done repeatedly, instead of sur
rendering the chair and speaking from
the floor of the house.
The bill was finally passed with a
slight amendment but not until the
father of the measure had threatened
to disrrpt the entire organization
rather 'aan submit to the methods that
were invoked by the speaker. The bill
is likely to cause much perturbation
among some of the state Office holders,
who are said to have packed their Of
fees with relatives irrespective of their
qualifications TO rthe work to he done.

WILL SOON DRILL AT ENDEE

j. NJ. Allen was in Tucumcari this
week from Endee. He reports the oil
fever practically beyond the first stage
and the prospect for "a driller within
the next month is quite favorable. He
said, IL. Il. Newby and Company of
Amarillo, wealthy dealers in lumber,
having some fourteen lumber yards in
the state of Texas, was out to Endee
last year and furnished the material
for our new school house. He became
interested in our oil prospects having
had much experience in the Texas oil
fields and promised to drill US a well
at least 1000 feet deep If necessary
to find oil if we would block out tract
of 10000 acres of land in and around
Endee. This we promised to do and
we now have more than $4,000 acres
under lease to turn over to Mr.. Newly.
He will be in Endee this week to close
the deal and promises to have a drill
on the ground as soon as possible, and
being in touch with such men it is ex-
pected that operations will begin be-
fore the first Of April.
This body Of land will lie from the
Texas line mostly north of Endee ex-
tending to the Rama district, and Mr..
Newby is accompanied by geologist
who is to pick out the best place to
start the first we'll"
The landowners of Endee vicinity
are anxious to have test well put
down and there only contract is that
said well be put down within one year
and there is no charge for acreage to
Mr.. Newby, the only consideration be-
ing the sinking of well 1000 feet
deep or until oil is found. The prop
erty owners depend upon the l-8 roy
atty to pay for their part, and if big
supply is found there is little doubt
about the proposition being a winner.
