A COMMUNICATION

Springer, New Mexico, Sept. 21, 1920
The Spanish-American,
Roy, New Mexico.
Gentlemen: ~ gElTA
I was pleased to note in your last
issue the declaration Of policies and
principles set forth in your editorial
column. A
l believe the policy will meet with
the hearty approval of the great ma
jority of Independent thinkers of the
Mesa. The citizenship Of Roy com
munity is composed of men and wo-
men who think for themselves. This
is true of all new and undeveloped
sections Of our country, because only
such enterprising and progressive peo-
pie have the requisite qualities to
brave the trials and tribulations of
bringing progress and improvements
to undeveloped land.
The spectacle Of partisan politics
in our country is both laughable and
serious Serious because of the self-
ishness and narrowness of some of
our acknowledged leaders, whose in
fluence over their constituents is
much too great for our country's
good. 1t is such selfish and partisan
tactics that have helped much to de-
velop the radical and dissatisfied ele-
ment in this country and which can
only be eradicated by the independ-
ent voter.
| think we should all recognize good
legislation, no matter under what par
ty or administration it is born, and on
the other hand we should fight and
expose selfish motives wherever
found, irrespective of what party is
responsible. 1t is the independent and
openminded thinker and voter whom
the professional politicians fear, and
l am sincerely glad to know that it is
your avowed intention to keep clear
of partisan and biased views and self
ish motives. Your paper viii increase
its value many fold by following this
course.
Roy is fortunate to have clean
cut, wideawake progressive newspa-
per, and as an old newspaper man |
can see splendid future for you in
a field that will not be limited by mar
row views and selfish motives, but
should embrace the entire mesa and
surrounding country.
I wish you success and courage to
carry out your policies.
Yours sincerely,
AT, g HANSON

Fire Bug Still
lin Town
Another fire
Monday night

The fire bug that has started
the different fires in Roy seems
to be still at large, for another
fire broke out Monday evening
about 5 Pm. when the barn and
sheds Of the j. L. Swain reside
nee were discovered in flames.
The alarm given spread rapidly
over town but the building was
too far gone to be saved, imme-
diately after the fire a still closer
watch was placed over town and
up to the time we go to press
nothing has developed to catch
the guilty culprit altho three or
four are under suspicion and an
arrest may be expecte d at any
time.

GrZelachOwski-
Hanson

The wedding bells again rang
in Roy last Saturday, October
End, when A. N. Hanson, the
obliging assistant manager OF
the Roy Trading company and
Miss Ernestine Grzelachowski,
eacher of the seventh and eighth
grades of the Roy public school,
hied away to Ration and were
joined in the holy bonds of mat
rimony by Rev. Dick Of that
place.
The first news Of the wedding
here was a telegram received by
A. S. Hanson, brother of the
groom, which read Married at
eleven today. However, the
many friends of both the bride
and groom here have been sus-
pecting that the happy event
would become a reality this fall.
Mr.. Hanson, the groom, is the
assistant manager of the Roy
Trading company at this place
and has been connected with this
prominent business house for the
past two years. He is an ex-ser-
vice man, having taken part in
the Pershing expedition into old
Mexico and also throughout the
late war. He is a young man of
excellent habits and worthy of
the young lady he has chosen as
his future helpmate.
Mrs. Hanson is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. GrzeIachow-
ski of Santa Rosa and comes
from one of the best families of
that place. She came'to Roy last
year as teacher in the Roy Pub
lic schools and made good and
was re-employed for this year
and is now in charge of the sew
entl and eighth grades of our
schools. She is a12accomplished
lady and is held in the very high
est of esteem by everyone who
knows her.
In these young people we can
see the making of a happy home, 7
and the Spanish American, as
well as their many friends, bothH
at Roy and Santa Rosa, wishE
them success through life's longS
Journey.

NEW MEXICO POPU-
LATION is S6C,247

Washington, Sept. 28.-The census
bureau today announced the popula-
ton of the state of New Mexico as
360,247, an increase of 32,946 or 10
ITO per cent.
New Mexico had population of
327,9O1 in 1910, ranking it as 44th
most populous state in the union. It
showed an increase of 131, 1,991, or
67.6 per cent over 1900, having had
the largest growth numerically IN it's
history to that time. The increase
was three times as large as that Of
any preceding decade.
In area, New Mexico ranked as
fourth largest state in the union in
1910 with a land area of 122,503
square miles, making its population
average 2.7 persons per square mile.
New Mexico was organized as a
territory in 1850 and admitted as a
state in 1911. 1t appeared in the fed
eral census reports for the first time
in 1880 A rapid growth was record
ed for the territory in the first de-
cade 1S5O-6O, the population increas-
ing more than one-half, while in the
following decade, 1860-70, the popu-
lation decreased 1.8 per cent, the de-
crease being due to the organization
of Arizona from a portion of the ter
ritory of New Mexico. From 1870
to 1910, the growth of the state was
substantial, no decade showing an
increase less than 20 per cent. From
1870 to 1890 the population increas-
ed TAB per cent and during the two
decades 1S90-191O, it more than
doubled.
Comparison Of the rates of growth
for the territory with those for the
United States shows that the rate for
the territory was equal to or higher
than the rate for the country as a
whole during every decade except
that from 1860 to 1870 when Arizona
was partitioned off from the terri
tory. The population of the territory
in 1910 was more than five times as
large as in 1850, while the population
of the United States in 1910 was not
quite four times that in 1850.
The record Of the growth of New
Mexico's population follows:

A WEDDING RECEPTION

Il
Monday evening crowd of jolly
young people gathered at the home
{ Mrs. Don Bradley at 7.39 sharp
and from there they went to call on
Mr.. I. ]. Heimann, only to find that
ne had motored to Clayton and
brought back as his bride Miss Kath-
crime Hammer. We were disappoint-
ed to find that they had expected us
and had made their getaway before
we arrived, hut luckily the crowd
found their hiding place and forced
them over to Mrs. Don Bradley's
home, where a reception had been
prepared for them. About that time
gay lights glimmered from every di-
rection and shouts and laughter were
heard from everywhere as the crowd
summoned che bride and groom to a
large water tank. There they were
forced to do many old-fashioned
stunts which they did not wish to do.
Strains Of music came softly float
iRg Es0ugh the refreshing autumn
air Mr. Moon looked down teasing
ly upon them while he and his bride
led the gay crowd to the brightly
decorated and brilliantly lighted re-
ception room, where beautiful flow
ers were strewn and everything had
been tastefully fixed by Mrs Don for
this special occasion. Music, games
and dancing were the life Of the even
ing. Also all were trying and won
dering what could be done to make
the poor bride and groom blush which
they did almost continually.
A prize waltz was given at 1.30
and the bride and groom were the
lucky winners The prizes consisted
of fine wein5e to the lady and dill
pickle to the gentleman. These were
wrapped in fine paper and tied in
very neat packages,
At the midnight hour dainty re-
freshments were served by the host
ess and her friend, Miss Aytes.
Dancing was then continued until
an early hour. Owing to the bride
and groom's honeymoon trip on which
they were to start that morning, we
promised them a few hours rest.
Hearty congratulations were heard
from everyone. They departed for
their homes tired but happy over the
enjoyments their hostess, Mrs. Don
Bradley, had so successfully planned
for them, ~~-~w s~1-s'-'~' ~
