CLOVIS, NEW MEXICO,
Division Point Townsite
Santa Fe Division=
CLOVIS HEIGHTS ADDITION, Clovis, New Mexico, is the new Santa Fe Division Townsite, situated
eight miles west-of Texico, on the Belen cut-off. The Railroad Company has retained 320 acres for railroad
purposes and will erect machine shops here. Clovis will be the first division west of Amarillo, and the Santa
Fe is now errecting an 18-stall roundhouse. This is bound to be the leading city in Eastern New Mexico
and many people are flocking here to invest their money in town lots. Won't you be one of these many
fortunate ones and secure a few lots while th;y are so cheap? You should see our Agent, Mr. J. P. Rhodes,
at Edwards & Lamkin's office for particulars.

Street Named.
It has been suggested, that the
20,000 Club take up the question oí
naming the streets and numbering
the houses looking toward securing
free mail delivery in the city. Oí her
towns of the Panhandle not as large
as Hereford are enjoying the privi-
lege and the Brand sees no reason
why Hereford should not get all that
is coming. Under the present con-
dition, it is impossible to give loca-
tion and direction. This is a matter
that could be directed by the city, it
having authority to rename the
streets and number the houses.
There are several systems for doing
this any one of which would be good.
The Brand will not cease to agita t:
this until something is done.
Storage Coal.
We have just received several
cars of storage coal and it is new
ready for distribution. It is the
best coal ever brought to Heseford.
Put in your winter's supply of coal
this summer. Phone orders early.
Reasonable prices.

Two Kinds of Blowing.
A young lady organist in a cer-
tain city was anxious to make a good
impression on a visiting clergyman
one Sunday. Her organ was pump-
ed by a self-willed old sexton, who
had his own ideas as to how long an
organ voluntary should last and so
would "shut of the wind" when he
thought fit. On the particular Sun-
day Sunday the organist, thought
she would forestall any su&h acci-
dent by writing an appeal in the
early part of the service and giving
it to the sexton. The old man re-
ceived the note and, and supposed it
was for the minister. In spite of
her frantic beckonings he went
straight to the pulpit with the note,
and the astonished preacher read
this message: "Oblige me this
morning by blowing away till I give
you the signal to stop."

We have a new spring dray and
moving wagon, also a house moving
outfit. Work guarantned. Phone

Street Sprinkling.
J. H. Wood who has had charge
of the street sprinkling has been
greatly handicapped by the lack of
a sufficient supply of water. The
court house well was at first used
and it proved to be inadequate ; then
the laundry well was tried, and as
the machinery was not run all the
time, on some days no water could
be had ; at last the railroad permitted
him to use six tanks per day. but
this did not answer when no addi-
tional water could be obtained else-
where. The streets on an ordinary
day requires about 20 or 25 tanks
and it has been impossible for Mr.
Wood to get this amount from all
sources. Some have suggested the
Tierro Blanco, but the distance will
preclude the use of water from that
stream, as but ten or eleven loads
can be hauled in one day. The
Brand believes that Mr. Wood has
done all that could be expected of
anyone but he proposes to go further.
If those who have subscribed to the
sprinkling fund will continue on the
list, he will put in a gasoline engine
at some convenient well that will
furnish enough water to do the work
in a satisfactory manner. As far as
is known all are willing to keep up
their subscriptions. If Mr. Wood
can be assured of this, he will put in
the new outfit at once.
Lots For Less.
We have some choice residence
lots in Evants addition, adjoining
College campus, size 52x175 feet.
As we have only a few of these lots
left, we will sell them for $10 a lot
less than similar lots can be bought
for. J. P. Snyder Land Co.,

the
Telephone Improvements.
The Hereford Telephone Company
is setting some large new poles in
main street preparatory to ins tailing
the cable system. This is just the
beginning of extensive improvements
planned by the local management
and when all are completed, Here-
ford will have one of the best hello
systems in the country. Mr. Hem-
ley, the manager, will spare no ex-
pense or trouble in perfecting the
system and will increase the capacity
of the plant so that they will be able
to handle their increasing business.
Notice to Property Owners. -
I will be out of town during each
week except Saturday. All who
have not yet rendered their taxes
will please see me on the streets that
day.

Good Advice.
There is not so much bad in
best of us,
And so rauce good in the worst
of us,
That it hardly behooves any
of us
To talk about the rest of us.
These lines from the facile pen of
Robert L. Stevenson hangs in the
president's office of the Western
National Bank of Hereford. We
reproduce these lines, because we
admire the sentiment therein con-
tained, and commend them to all who
would avoid giving the pangs of un-
just criticism.
Caman'ii band oí Winfield, Kan-
sas, passed through Tu's !ay on
their way to Carlsbad, where they
were engaged to help celebrate the
Fourth. This band is one of the
best organiza' ion of its kind in the
West, composed of thirty or more
instruments, and while the train was
here, render.a one number which
was highly enjoyed.
Notice to Public.
I am ready to do any ot your lot
cleaning or hauling trash, regardless
of any order of council.

A Fish Story.
W. H. Rayzor wins the prize as a
lone fisherman. He and others were
on the Tierra Blanco a few days ago
and landed 63 of the finny tribe and
as evidence of the big fish story he
tells, he brought to the Brand office
the head of a black bass which he
says was 22 inches long and weighed
9 pounds. The head measured 11
inches in circumference.
Public Notice.
Hereafter there will be no hunting
or fishing allowed on my farm lying
just west of the railroad bridge west
of town. 18-4tp
