TWO HOUSE BILLS
TO CREATE THREE
MORE COUNTIES

Two house bills introduced this
week propose county divisions that
will affect the counties of ColiaN
Mora, Socorro and Union.
The first one is the bill for The
division of Socrro county, mention
ed last week. This bill proposes to
cut from the present county of So
zorro, west end. the county OF
fect that the bill likely Will be amend
ed to change the name Frisco To
that of a New MeXican who has had
aluch to do with the affairs of the
territory and state of New NJ eXico
for long string of years. The coun-
~ seat will be at Reserve the as
sessed valuation will be approXim-
ately 100000, while the population
will be between 5000 and 6,0OO.
The other bill proposes to abolish
the present county of Mora, Great
ing instead the county OF Aguilar
from the western part OF the pres
ent county of Mora, adding from
Colfax county about S3,50O0O0 in as
sessable property. The county seat
IS to be removed from Mora 10
Wagon Mound. The former, very
cid settlement, is inland, so miles
from Las Vegas; the latter is on
the main line OF the Santa Fe rail
road As miles from Las Vegas. 1t
is said unofficially that as a consola-
tion to the city Of Mora it is pro-
posed to keep the county high school
at that point The proposed county
takes its name from J. r. Aguiar,
Of Wagon Mound for some years a
member OF the state tax commission.
The second feature of the bill is
the proposal to convert the east enI
of old Mora into the county of Hard
ing, with the addition of some $3,-
100000 of property from Union coun-
ty. The county seat is TO be Mos
guero, on the Dawson line of the FL
Paso and Southwestern system. The
town is located about 81 miles east
of Dawson, 81 miles west Of Tucum-
carl.
AS to property value, the new
county Of Aguilar will remain about
the same as the old county OF Mo-
ra, while the cut from Union for
Harding will leave Union about $lS,-
$4,000 in assessed valuation. The
cut from IolfaS VIII leaVe tlat Coun-
ty something more than 3OOOOO
not including output Of the mines.
When the latter bin was introduced,
it was said by its advocates that no
serious opposition would develop, but
present indications are that this was
an over optimistic view. The oppo
sition to the division is determined
and is being organized.

and fish commission, and 10 provide
better protection for the game and
fish, was passed late last Friday aft.
ernoon after the longest and hardest
fight of the session.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment by the governor of a commits
sion of three members. to exercise
general supervision over game and
fish matters. The bill differs from
the one recommended by other
sources, in tina; authority to appoint
the game warden is lefi with ~,
governor. The salary OF the warden
is increased from S2,4O to 5000 a
year, with a chief deputy and al
office clerk to receive 81 $40 each.
Ortega, OF Taos, made a vigorous
attack on the bill, along the line that
to increase any salaries, after hav-
ing preached economy throughout
the campaign, would be to lay the
Republican organization open to cri-
ticism as to sincerity of purpose He
offered an amendment TO reduce
the pay of the warden TO 81 800. and
Of the chief deputy and office clerk

FARM HOMES WITH
MODERN CONVENIENCES

The time was when the greatest
stretch of Imagination could not
associate the term farm home with
mondern conveniences, especially in
the sparsely settled regions of t
dry farming areas. During the past
year the Curry County Farm Bu-
reau and the Clovis Chamber of Co.
mmerce have done much to over
come the isolation of the country
life of that county by bringing the
rural telephone within reach of pra-
ctically all farm hands.
A campaign starting last winter
and continuing up into the summer
resulted in the raising of $4,000 and
in the construction of ll8 miles of
main trunk lines with seven exchan-
ges. Slow delivery has held up the
completion Of the system but it will
now soon be in operation.
