FORT SUMNER, GUADALUPE COUNTY, N. M., JANUARY 14, 1911.
Survey Completed
Monday
New Railroad From Las
Vega to ft. Sumner
A good thing comes to those
who wait, and we of Ft. Sumner
will soon realize that our waiting
has not been in vain, for good
things are coming our way.
The survey has just been com
pleted by the A. T. & S. F. Ry.,
and there is no doubt, (the line
being on the river grade and
having been found better than
that of Vaughn,) will be accepted
by the Santa Fe, and if so, the
work will soon be started, and
thus give many people employ-
Clovis and Vaughn are two of
the most prosperous towns on the
"Cut-off" and Fort Sumner
comes third, yet without the
railroad advantages that these
other towns, Ft. Sumner has
been holding it's own in every
way, and more so in the agricul
tural and commercial line.
We believe the construction of
this road is to give a direct out
let to the coal which has to be
shipped into this part of the
territory.
New Peace Poem
Andrew Carnegie has found a
hymn of international peace that
he prefers to America. The met
er is the same. Several thousand
copies of the hymn were distribu
ted by Mr. Ctrnegie among those
interested in the peace move
ment It was written by Prof.
George Huntington, librarian at
Carleton college, who retire
several years ago on a pension
from' the .Carnegie . foundation.
Following are the lines: .... .
Two empires by the sea,
,1WU imtluiiD icab aim i
One anthem raise,
One race of ancient tame, -One
tongue, one faith we claim.
One God, whose glorious name
We love and praise.
What deeds our fathers wrought.
What battles we have fought,
. - T.-J. 1
Now vengeful passion, cease
Come victories of peace;
Nor hate, nor pride's caprice,
Unsheath the sword.
Though deep the sea, and wide,
Twixt realm and realm its tide.
Binds strand to strand.
So be the gulf between
Gray coasts and islands green
With bonds of peace serene
And friendship spanned.
Now may the God above
Guard the dear land we love,
Both East and West.
Let love more fervent glow,
As peaceful ages go,
And strength yet stronger grow,
Blessing and blest.
Nearly a thousand delegates
have already arrived for the con
vention of the National Livestock
association, which will open at Ft
Worth. It is expectel that
there will be 5000 delegates and
visitors.
The transportation and execu
tive committees are meeting to
day. New policies, plais and
needed legislation are being con
sidered by the executive commit
tee. Measures will be adopted
by the convention to assure bet
ter stock adherence to the feder
al and state stock relations and
for securing better service and
rates from the big railroads. '
Cheyenne apparently is lead

NewRulea Of Practice Be
fore United States Land
Offices.
Department of the Interior Un
ited States Land Office Fort Sum
ner New Mexico, January 9, 1911.
On December 9, 1910 the Sec
retary of the Interior approved
a new set of Rules of Practice in
cases before United States Dis
trict Land Offices, the General
Land Office and the Department
of the Interior. These rules will
be in force and effect on Febru
ary 1, 1911.
A great many changes have
been made in the proceedure with
regard to contests, and no con
test affidavits will be accepted on
or after February 1, which are
made under the forms in present
use. The new. contest affidavit
must contain the following:
(a) Name and residence of
each party adversely interested,
including the age of each heir of
any deceased entrymen.
(b) Description and character
of the land involved.
(c) Reference, so far as
known to the applicant, to any
proceedings pending for the ac
quisition of title to or the use of
such lands.
(d) Statement, in ordinary
and concise language, of the facts
constituting the grounds of con
test.
(e) Statement, of the law un
der which applicant intends to
acquire title and facts showing
that he is qualified to do so.
(f ) That the proceeding is not
collusive or speculative, but is in
stituted and will be diligently
pursued in good faith.
(g) Application that affiant
be allowed to prove said allega
tions, and that the entry, filing,
or .other claim be canceled, "
(h) Address to which papers
shall be sent for service on such
applicant.' -
The, statements in the applica
tion ftiust be coraoborated by the
affidavit of at least one witness.
It will be seen that any person
filing a contest affidavit, must
show his qualifications to enter
the land which is tobe contested.
The United States Commission
ers; court commissioners, Jfro-
bate Judges and Probate Clerks
have all been furnished with
copies of the new Rules of Prac
tice, as have the attorneys and
agents admitted to practice before
this office.

The Old Village
I've been back to the village, Tom,
I've been around to see
The dear old town and all the folks
that once knew you and me.
I thought I'd write and tell you, Tom,
of some of them you know;
They haven't changed since you were
here, some twenty years ago.
There's old Alonzo Wombat, Tom,
you'll think of him, I vnw:
He used to keep a meat shop then;
he keeps a meat shop now. '
And Abner Jinks, your old chum.
Tom, he's Hetty Podsnap's beau
Just as he always used to be, some
twenty years ago.
called on my old sweetheart, Tom,
the girl I worshiped so;
She's still a blonde, just as she was
some twenty years ago;
But there's been one trifling change
since happy days of yore,
For she was twenty-seven then, and
now she's twenty-four.

Suing For $2.16
Alton S. Miller, president of
the Union Electric Light and
Power Company, was made de
fenant in a Justice Court suit for
$2.16 yesterday. The plaintiff is
the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. No declaration was filed in the
case, but according to Mr. Miller
a reservation on a Pullman be
tween Philadelphia and Bellmar,
N. J., last Summer, which here-
fused to pay for because he did
not get it, was the cause. He
said he was obliged to stand up
all the way.
My determination is not to
pay first class fare when I had to
stand," said Mr. Miller.
Anarchists to Flood
The Country.
A great host of accomplished E
ropean anarchists and criminals
is shortly eomingto this coun

and Black Handera who already
enjoy American hospitalty, ac
cording to Andrew D. White,
former president of Cornell uni
versity and former ambassador
to Russia and Germany.
In a statement to the press, Dr
White urges the immediate pas
sage of laws barring from the
shores of the United States, the
flood of undesirables who, he de
clares, will hasten hither as soon
as England expels them.
Danger To Wool
Industry
The solicitude being manifest
ed by the manufacturing end of
the wool industry lest interfer
ence with the tariff wreak disas
ter upon the wool producer, is
not taken as being wholly with
out alloy by the delegates to the
forty-second annual convention
of the National Wool Growers'
association, which opened here
last week.
According to many delegates,
the profession of friendship is
too sudden and savors too much
of an ulterior motive. But that
the wool grower is unequivocally
opposed to any change in the
wool tariff is evidenced on every
hand. Nearly every delegate
says a reduction of the tariff
would spell disaster to sheep
raisers.
Non-Partizan Meeting
The non-partizan meeting
held at the Union Church
was a crowd gatherer, and the
speeches made by Judge Mann,
Judge Compton, and George
Sena were convincing enough
to make the voters take notice.
