Roswell Celebrates The Day
With Music. Speeches,
Parade and Many
AmuSementS.
A Big CROWD IS IN TO WN
Hon. Jerry Simpson And Capt.
Smith Are the Orators of
The Day,

Labor Day was celebrated today
in grand style, and was a complete
success. There were throngs of
people on the streets and Roswell
looked like a city of $4,000 people.
Barrels of lemonade were served free
on the court house lawn and the band
played better than ever. The Kodak
fiends were out in large numbers.
The parade was very large and the
floats were well designed
All of the unions were represented
in the parade except the Federation
and the clerks. The band headed
the parade, followed by the unions
in the following order: Carpenters
Stone Cutters. BARRIERS and Bar Ten
ders. Then followed the floats Of
the Carpenters Union, Painters Un
ion, Stone Cutters and Brick Masons
Union, Plasterers Union, China Hall,
Peeler's New York Store, Pecos Val
Co., Reuters shoe shop, Davis Lum-
Der Co, Western Grocery Company,
Charles Whiteman and Bro, Star
Meat Market, Davis Lumber Co.,
Artesia Racket Store, Davis Lumber
Co., Rothenberg and Schloss, John
Schrock Lumber Co, Home Bakery,
Morrison Restaurant. Duff and Da-
vison, The New Idea Mott, Walker
Bros, Coulter and Rea, Roswell Bot
t Works, Roswell Furniture Co.,
Ed Wheeler, E. H. Williams and Co.,
salvatIon Army, Oriental Cafe. and
Roswell Bicycle shop.
It would be hard task to pick out
choice is between the Carpenters
Union and the Roswell Bicycle shop.
The carpenters float was a large
one and workmen were busily en-
ployed in same. The bicycle float
consisted of two bicycles and plat
form between the two riders. There
was large canopy over same and
beautiful little girl was the queen on
the throne.
Just as we go to press the Hon.
Jerry Simpson and Captain Smith
of the Salvation Army have conclud-
ed their speeches in the court house
yard to large audience. Both spea-
kers were happily received. They
were introduced by A. W. McWhirt,
marshal of the day.
C. M. Berryhill is billed to make
the balloon ascension at 4:3O o'clock
There has been excellent order the
entire day, and practically no drunk
enness. There has been only one
arrest and that was early in the
morning.

Colorado Impressions.

Mr.. J. M. Miller and family re
Gently returned from an extended
trip to Colorado, and Mr. Miller hant
ed in the following article on the
impressions of his trip:
There is wonderful increase OF
travel on our western railroads II
seems to have almost doubled in the
last year. 1t is not uncommon for
lady passengers to have to ride in
the smoking cars, and on some trunk
lines or on excursion trains it is i'm
possible for many ladies to find a
seat. When we went over the loop
to Silver Flume, there ware three
coaches each all running in the same
train loads of passengers of six
time. The three train loads of peo-
pie were side tracked at Georgetown
and two more full train loads of peo-
pie pulled in, making five trains of
six coaches each, and every coach
filled to it's utmost capacity.
In coming from Las Vegas to Trim
idad on the through California train,
which is run in two sections of thir-
teen coaches each, we could not
get a seat except on the Pullman
sleepers. If a man should ask me
which of the Colorado mountain
roads affords the most attractive
scenery, l would be like the man
who was a hard drinker when some
one asked him which of the different
brands of whisky did he regard as
the best, and he answered, 1.-The last
drank" | am the same way-the
last l saw. l never saw anything
more exciting in my life than when
coming down over the loop between
Silver Flurne and Georgetown on the
road, which winds like a great SER
pent down the canyon, and at one
place foms a loop and crosses itself
by the means of high bridge across
the canyon. We could look forward
oOAhSIlAA1Co llSlI DJ uS anu away DS-
low us we could see the train that
was ahead of us. and at the same
time we could look back and see the
other train behind and above us.
After our train passed over the
bridge and made the cicle and came
under the bridge, the train that was
behind us came on the bridge with
six coaches of happy people waving
their handkerchiefs at us. This
mountain road is narrow guage one
and was built about thirty years ago.
At that time they would never at
with seating capacity of forty-eight
people. Now with engines that are
glide along with six coaches, and
each coach has a seating capacity of
ffty-six people. The engines have
four driving wheels that are only
thirty-six inches high. This is an
excellent illustration of the improve
nent in locomotive engines. The
apple crop in Colorado suffered very
badly from the frost, except at FIT.
Collins where they have a very hea-
w crop of all kinds of fruit
The people there claim that the
Ft. Collins fruit was saved in a very
peculiar way. While the frost was
coming down from a clear cold sky
N other parts there was a dark hea-
w cloud at Ft Collins which poured
4 soft snow until sunrise. The lamb
mas always been considered an en-
Dlem of peace and innocence, and
the Ft Collins farmers all feed
lambs as special business and must
have taken on the lambs meek and
ways, and this is possibly
the reason that the friendly clouds
we're sent to protect them.

"Eh. what?" aueried Mr.. Sage. Mine

Then. I'm take your ten shares at So" he
said. And the sale was made.
A little later on. when Mr.. Sage found
that he really could have bought all the
stock he wanted at 81. his feelings were
anything but friendly toward Mr.. Tucker.

MIR. lucy's Impressions
y y At Our. Capitol.

Washington. Midnight-As one long ac-
customed to procedure in the House of
Commons. what struck me chiefly as a
spectator of the opening of the new scs-
sion of Congress was its note of simple.
severe business intention.
The Inauguration of a session of the
House of Commons. more especially when
its first action is the election of a new
Speaker. is marked by a ceremony some of
whose formulas go back to Stuart times.
The election of a Speaker. If 1t be not
opposed, and 1t rarely is, is moved from
the Ministerial side by a private member
Of high personal standing, the resolution
being seconded by a member of the oppo-
sition of equal position. Stately speeches
are mad extolling the virtues and ca
pacity of the candidate.
Election accomplished. whether by unan-
imous vote or after a division. the
leader of the House and the leader of the
opposition make further heightened
speeches. the latter. though defeated, ri
vaiing the spokesman of the Ministerial
lists in his courtesy and submission to the
new Speaker.
Further ceremony follows. Though elect
ed by the Commons. the call To the chair

Speaker is submitted to the sovereign.
This Is done on the following day, when
a solemnly appointed royal commission
sits in The House OF Lords. Thither. at the
appointed hour, the Speaker elect pro-
ceeds. and standing at the bar .humbly
submits" himself for the approval of the
sovereign. Humility is. of course, only as

Pending royal confirmation of his cleo

what in English legal circles is known as

House Of Commons. does not know him.
Once royal assent is conveyed everything
is changed.

apartments. comes forth arrayed in wig

The average age of Congressman is
considerably less than that of members of
the House of Commons. With us parli-
mentary life is the goal of long labor in
the commercial ard professional mart.
We have a sprinkling of Dukes sons
and the like. who come into the m

them. In the main the House of Commons
is composed of men over So. who have
made in other fields of labor their mark

of House of Commons procedure that

process. especially when utilized for OBJ
strIctiye purposes, is certainly u little
