I I I Montoya. Notes. CORKKSI'ONDKNCK.l Montoya is booming, eleven frame, three stone and two adobe buildings, most of them for busi ness purposes, are just completed and in course of erection, with others under contract and in con templation. Another hotel will be begun in a few days. A wagon yard also. Montoya is going to be a real town. It is forcing itself upon us. Already far seeing men are talking of a railroad to be built from Texico through Mon toya to the coal mines northwest. Farmers' wagon outfits are ar riving every day, mostly from Oklahoma. Two carloads of flour and one of groceries are just re ceived by our new merchant, Mr. Jones, also others of hay, grain etc., to Kohn Bros., and eight of lumber now unloading for the Montoya Lumber Co. The building for the barber shop is awaiting for an occupant, as is also numerous citizens need ing his service. Some barber should come at once. The new blacksmith shop is said to need a good hand already, and we must have an up to date butch er shop immediately. A drug store would do business from the start. The Board County Commission ers has declared the old Palomas road passing through the gap east of Palomas mountain, public road and free to travel. The man who has it fenced and the gate locked cannot charge 25 cents toll any longer. It is hoped that citizens who have fenced across section line roads which are needed for public use will take the hint and not wait for county board action. Tiger. Allen Breezes.

Correspondence Grant Dodson, of Mo., is here looking for a location. The farmers are very busy here plowing and planting. L. C. Lantz and family of Mo., are here improving their claim. San Jon is on a boom. Mrs. S. Atkins will soon return to her home. She has been here about four months. W. D. Bennett is building a new house. W. Prather has returned home. Bulletin. A case of scarlet fever has been reported to the health office of Tu cumcari this week. Proper guar anteed regulations have been en forced, and with the cooperation of the public in all suspicious cases, there need be little anxiety on the part of the community. On the other hand, any carlessness on the part of a few people will jeopardise all efforts of the rest. All suspic ious cases should br reported at once, in order that strict quaran tine measures be adopted in all cases. This may work individual hardships, but it will at least pre vent an epidemic. H.
