held at the Worth hotel, Fort Worth,

A Colorado City (Texa) dispatch
says: "The calf crop throughout

lbw the normal, as a result of'ths

of Eastern New Mexico, it 1 > g 11-
erally rated at from 30 to 35 per
cent. The plains country will not
average above 40 per cent, and for
the great breeding section located
below the foot of the plains and em-
bracing this section of the state, the
average will not go above 60 per
cent. Bearing these facts in min i,
the average ranchman looks to the
co ning year with a feeling of hope-
fulness, believing that it will witness
a shortage in the supply sufficient to
insure better prices. The year
rapidly coming to a close has not
been a prosperous one by any means
and the big ranchman who can figure
himself much above even on the
operations of the year is a lucky
individual. Next year they all hope
better tnings, and they deserve it."

Will Have a School,
T. W. Hart, the postmaster and
general merchandise dealer of Hart,
20 miles southeast of Dimmitt in
Castro c >unty, was a pleasant caller
at The Brand office Tuesday, hav-
ing corns in after supplies. He in-
formed us that on February 16. tin
enterprising citizens of that commu-
nity held a meeting for the purpose
of* «building a school houss at that
plaqf. W. W. Parker was made
president and T. W. Hart secretary
oí the meeting, after which J. A.
S'egall stated the object of the
meeting. A general discussion fol-
lowed, which resulted in J. S. Mc-
Clure's moving that a school houso
be built and situated on the east line
of section 28, biock 07, and which
was unanimously carried. A build-
ing committee was then appointed,
consisting of J. S. McClure, T. W.
Hart and W. W. Parker; and a
finance committee composed of J. S,
McClure, J. A. Stegall, J. N
Bryant, N. A. Drake and T.
Hart.
The meeting Was then adjou
to meet at J. A. Stegall's on Feb
arv 28, at 3 p. m.
Mr. Hart also states that
country surrounding Hart is rap
settling up and that at pr. sent th
are about sixty families who w .
be patrons of the new school, whi
when finished, will also be used as
church house. There will also be
physician and a blacksmith loca.ed
there in the near future;. With rat
