On the Red river, he says, Billy the Kid came along and was hired. He went on through with the herd and caused no trouble. Seemed perfectly good tempered and peaceful, although he did regale Kring with a story that he had killed several Me.ticans in the southwest. Kring says he also saw Billy the Kid give an example of his shooting by breaking an neck a revolver bullet at 150 yards. It stores, news stands, a movie show.

Filling stations sprang up and ma- cJiine-equipped garages, and oil field supply houses, and a bakery, a newspaper shop and a pool hall. A tank farm began building off to the east, to be fed by pipeline which must be built and there must be a loading rack for the trainloads of oil cars.

Abundant local resources, beauty of surroundings and good transportation facilities won them after national advertising and local initiative had caught their attention. San Antonio is building as citics build which have something to build upon and a strong, aggressive, enthusiastic community spirit. Pyote now has her main street half a mile, yes, more nearly a mile long, with almost every kind of oil town structure possible to imagine along the sides of it, together with a few buildings of a permanent and attractive type.

And despite the pounding of the enormous trucks, the street has been brought into very fair condition; a little bumpy and there are a few dust holes, but it is good considering the kind of ground it is, and the volume and weight of the traffic it bears. There are side streets, partly built up.

El Pasoans in business here say El Paso traveling salesmen are in town every day. So, all things considered, it seem really as if El Paso were the oil towns altogether, does it? The Korn building, recently completed, would be a credit to any small city. It is a two-story building of brick and tile, with white exterior finish and really was built to house an exquisite little theater, and not so little, at that. It has a seating capajcity of 700. The remainder of the building is given over to stores and offices.

It should have been mentioned nearer the beginning that after the first mad rusli, as soon as new merchants had got their breath and their bearings, they did those several things an American community of any pretensions will always do. They provided a school, went after electric lights and water, talked about incorporating a town, organized a chamber of commerce, and voted a bond issue. a ealous By MILDRED BARBOUR Copyright, 1927, By Metropolitan Newspaper Service.

Stocks and Bonds New York, Dec. 22 sporadic efforts of traders to bring about a reaction, the stock market continued to point upward today on heavy buying for botli speculative and investment accounts. Sensational gains took place in a few of the insurance company shares, which are reported to have had the best years in their history. Pools were again active in a wide assortment of specialties, but the amusement, copper, merchandising and steel shares gave the best demonstration of group strength. Milking up of the call money renewal rate to 4H percent was regarded as temporary, due to the heavy seasonal demands for currency.

Uneasiness developed in some quarters over the volume of loan which will be announced by the federal reserve bank after the close of the market. Because of the unusually heavy volume of new financing this week and the advance in stock prices a substantial increase is looked for in many quarters. U. S. Steel, common, regained its role as market leader by moving up more than two points to 151, the highest price since early October.

Crucible ran up over three points. Buying of the steels was stimulated by the more cheerful trade reports. Renewed accumulation of the copper shares sent Chile, Cerro de Pasco, Kennecott and American Metals to record high prices Paramount Famous Players crossed 115 to a new peak on reports that fourth quarter earnings would approximate a share. New tops also were established by International Harvester, National Cash Register i and American Agricultural Chemical preferred. Weakness developed in American Woolen preferred.

It has come about through error. In the past, the state office has charged a 25c fee for notarial services in connection with applications for motor licenses. Recently It was announced from the capitol that the two-bit fee was revoked. This proved to be wrong.

There followed an explanation that motorists, in lieu of paying the 25c charge, could obtain the services of private notaries to attest their applications. Persons living outside New Mexico wonder why it is necessary to have the services of a notary public in making aplication for a motor license but such is the rule in New Mexico. The contention of some New Mexico editors is tliat this is but one of a number of petty methods employed to extract money from owners of motor vehicles and attack the entire system of taxing and licensing as being unjust and discriminatory. Attorney George Taylor of Albuquerque addressing a luncheon club in that city summarized the matter as follows: motorist is forced to pay a luxury tax, then a property tax, then a license fee on the car (with a tarial fee) and then a license fee. After that, before he can drive his car, he must pay a gasoline communiaue; On the southern front, Mr.

This is enhanced by the splendid ralway connections. Surrounded by a big area of rich agricultural land, plus the excellent prospects of oil and gas in the territory, El Paso will become a flourishing city of wealth. I am pleased to note that the people here are well aware of the future of this city, as was evidencedd by the overwhelming majorities given the recent road bond election. Mark my words, this proposed road will go tlirough a big oil field, which will be deveeloped one of these overlooked.

Selling based largely on the United States government report as to winter wheat acreage and condition led to lower prices today for wheat.

Besides, Argentine wheat exports for the week were nearlv double tho.se of the previous week. Meanwhile export demand today for wheat from North America was slow. Wheat closed heavy to cent to a rise of 7 to 10 cents. traders gave particular attention today to the fact that the latest government data Indicates both tliat the 1927 acreage of fall- sown domestic wheat is much larger than the total for 1926, and that the condition of the present crop is decidedly above last year, and is higher than the ten year average as well. It was also pointed out that similar comparisons hold good as to rye.

Upturns which took place at times in corn values today were ascribed to predictions of enlarged eastern demand, based on smallness of the crop this season In states from Illinois eastward. On the other hand, a leading crop expert here was out with r. statement today purporting to show that contrary to a somewhat general impression the surplus nrodueing corn states this season have a relatively larger production than the non-surplus states.
