AT tho organization of the
state of Oklahoma, Beaver coun
ty will, in all probability, be di
vided into three counties. Each
new county will be about fifty
six miles long and thirty-five
miles wide. Just which county
will reserve the rich land, so well
advertised, of Beaver county is
not yet decided.
The best sentiment in the
Territory demands the hold
ing of a Constitutional Con
vention in this city and the
framing of a proper constitution.
'Faint heart never won fair
lady," New Mexico should not
be backward in presenting tothe
Congress of the United States
and to the people of the country
the right kind of a constitution
and, demand admissi ion as a
state. Never go backwards.
Santa Fe New Mexican.
We certainly endorse such a
convention, and believe the peo
ple of Union county in general
do. This plan, as we have stat
ed before, properly carried out
will have a greater tendency to
bring about the much needed
statehood for New Mexico, than
any other plan we believe that
could be set fortn. Let's all
make an effort, not only an effort,
but let's see that the plan is car
ried into execution.
home institutions makes them
willing to give home merchants
their trade. Perhaps they even
argua that they can get better
work the average oitizen may
also argue that he can get a
much better selection from the
city stores.
This paper has refused more
than once to accept advertise
ments from mail order houses,
for no other reason than to pro
tect our home merchant. But if
this is the returns we get we sin
cerely trust that the next time
a peddler comes to town to take
orders for goods in the particular
lines which these merchants han
dle, that instead of advocating a
fine of one hundred dollars, they
will give him the glad hand
and say: "Welcome brother, we
too, believe that outside institu
tions should be patronized to the
detriment of home institutions."
That's the way it looks from
our side.
Santa Fe, N. M Nov. 13.-A.
0. Larazola last night announced
that he would contest for the ter
ritorial seat in congress on the
grounds of a fraudulent count.
Incomplete returns of the elec
tion have been received from ev
ery county in the territory and
they give Andrews only 82G ma
jority, and as Larrtizola carried
fourteen counties against An
drews eleven, it, looks as if there
might be some grounds for a
contest.
Clayton merchants are not as
consistent as they would have
the balance oí us be Only t few
months back they, of one accord,
prosecuted a man who was sell-
goods to the consumer for a for
eign house. This paper jn.ied
in and said all the mean things
about the fellow we would dare
and stay out of bounds of the li
bel law. To day a solicitor rep
resenting a printing establish
ment of a neighboring town can
vassed our business houses and
professional men and the very
merchants who were loudest and
longest in their protest against
the mail order houses and ped
dlers, the ones who have the
most to say about patronizing
home industries, were the ones
to give their printing to this so
licitor. If the home newspaper
isn't a home industry, an institu
tion that does more for the up
building of the community in
general und it's own town in par
ticular and whan a newspaper
advertises and promotes a town,
it advertises and pronutes every
institution in that town if it is
not strictly a nome institution
we do not know the meaning of
that phrase Perhaps these
merchants argue that they can

that they can purchase dry goods
and groceries at a lower price in
the city than these merchants of

San Fuansisjo, Cal. , Nov. 14.
The Chronical says to-day that
a new investigation in tho courts
in the local graft scandal are sensational.
It now appears that sums of
money, large and small, that were
sent from diiTercnt states to San
Francisco for he relief of the
sufferers never reached the relief
committee.
Some of these amounts which
aggregate a large sum, were
mailed in care of Mayor Schmitz.
Detective Burns und about 100
government agents have been
making an investigation. Presi
dent Roosevelt is the moving
spirit behind the inquiry and he
declares that no man guilty of
diverting the relief funds shall
escape justice. The cases come
within the jurisdictihn of the fed
eral governriient because it is
alleged that the mails were tam
pered with. A considerable sum
was also sent through the Wells
Fargo and other express com
panies and these companies are
also investigating.
There is a report that in the
aggregate the stealing will
amount to a million doilars.
