CARLSBAD, N. M, Oct. 25.-Thus
far this fall, since the shipments of
beef cattle fairly began from the val
ley, there have been fully 10, 600 cad
shipped east to Kansas City besides a

ments yet to be made and now in sight,
will aggregate fully $4,000 more. The
majority of these cattle will be loaded
at Portales and the next shipping point
in Importance will be Roswell.
The great range country north OF
Portales toward Fort Summer has yet
to be heard from. as we'll as many large
ranges on the plains south of Portales.
The large shippers during the last
few days have been the "Bar W. and
the '.Horse Shoe' ranches and the
Carr Land and Cattle Co." The "L
F. D." and the Turkey Track" have
not shipped as yet and they are among
the largest shippers from the northern
part of the valley.
The cattle syndicate which Geo. B.
Loving of Fort Worth is now organic
ing in New York is regarded with
much favor among the larger cattle
growers of the valley. They regard
the movement as one calculated to iu
cure for it's stockholders good prices
for good cattle, and to place the cattle
industry beyond the reach of middle
men with whom for years past profits
have been regularly divided. Mr.. Low
inR's following in the Pecos country
will be larger than he anticipates if b 3
brings his enterprise to successful
conclusion.
From the great mum Der of invalids
now coming into the Pecos valley it
would appear that the beneficial, re-
salts of its mild climate are becoming
widely known, as was that of Ell Paso
years ago when that city was regarded
as the great natural sRnitarium of the
south west, as in fact it is today, only
that today FL Paso does not need them
as much as it did then. The Pecos
dra back that Ell Paso did in the old
days. Men went there in almost the
last throes of pulmonary disease and
having recovered through the in
fluence of it's matchless climate went
home and tore the country in pieces
through the medium of some worthless
periodical because it did nothing else
for them than save their lives. A case
in point occurred here in Carlsbad
shortly since, one quite in keeping with
many of the earlier experiences of Ell
Psso in this same line. A venerable,
wind-broke, old relic arrived, totally
speechless from asthma, and remained
q month or rather less than that. AT
the end of his visit he left here diff.
ferent man altogether, his voice re-
| stored, his weight increased and his
general appearance that of hale and
hearty old man. After he left Csrls-
bad: to show his appreciation of what
the place had done for him in bring.
ing him back to life, he wrote series
of scurrilous letters to an obscure east
ern periodical. and to make the matter
worse had a number of copies mailed
to citizens here who had shown hin
the most attention. The old story O.
the frozen snake in the fable over
again. ex-
| Ell Paso has had her fill of such pa
periences and no doubt can now sy
thize with community suffering un
| der like infliction.
The valley now is trying to recover
itself, recover from over advertisement
in the past and show by results it's ad
vantages in the way of climate, soil an6
abundant water, aud probably no towr
or city or community in the United
| States is as we'll calculated to assist i
| in this effort as is Ell Paso.
