The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1903-10-22

THE RECORD sent about 1900 words
descriptive of Roswell to the Chicago
EXAMINER y6sesFday afternoon. Mrs.
Hart, the opsrssor, dispatched them
in a r~emafkabig short time. Wallace
Rice, literary editor of Chicago Ex-
anainers and American, sent several
thousand words descriptive of the re-
cepticn Andstrip and as he was highly
impressed with Roswell and the Pc
cos valley HIS ''write up" will be
strong and will be productive of much
good. He was of the opinion that
the Pecos valley was the most fertile
that they had seen on the extended
trip andewas also of the opinion that
Roswell vas by far the most beauti-
fulfcity. Horace s.. Bernard. photog-
rapher Chicago Examiner, and Amer
lean, was enthusiastic IN his praise of
Roswell and the numerous views he
took in the Pecos valley and Roswell
will be used in all of the Hearst pa
pers and millions will see photographs
of our remarkable progress. AS Con-
gresham Benton of Missouri said,
I'VE have our photographer along
with as and if they won't believe all
the good things we tell them, we can
show Them"
Andrew M. Lawrence, managing
editor of the Chicago American. who
has charge of the party, was highly
pleased with the reception accorded
the party here.
Senator Lee S. Overman of North
Carolina, said as the cadets were
drilling, ssMy, l tell you this is fine.
I am going to underscore this place.
Roswell is the pest we have SEEM"
Congressman James M. Robinson
of Fl. Wayne, Indiana, was highly
pleased and said, we had made re-
markable progress and surely had a
great future.
Congressman John Dougherty of
Liberty, Missouri, was sufficiently inn
pressed to say he would likely return
and invest in a Pecos valley farm.
Mrs. Dougherty regretted very
much that she did not have time to
visit the stores and get a supply of
souvenirs.
Ex-Governar Llewellyn Powers of
Maine, who is now "unfortunate" to
enough to be a Republican member of
congress, or rather that is the way he
terms it, has been "grouchy" on
the trip and nothing seemed to please
him. When he reached the Pecos
valley and Roswell his "grouchiness"
WIS knocked out of him and he was
enthusiastic in his praise. He says,
sI have been an advocate for state
hood aud voted for it, but am nov a
missionary and I think we are all the
same way. From my observation in
Arizona and New Mexico I see that
the people are bitterly opposed to
double statehood and would prefer for
ever to remain territories unless they
can receive single statehood. l am
highly pleased with the Pecos valley
and your city and think it is the finest
country we have visited"
Congressman Powers is q large,
stately man, and to use the language
of the bowery, "He is a husky guy
wild boots on"
ALI of the entire party were highly
pleased with their reception here and
with what they had seen, but they
were informed that they had not seen
but one third.
The N. M. NJ. I. Catalogue was pre-
sented to the distinguished guests at
the school and copies OF Saturdays

lev products and fruits were put on

visitors to feast ON during the bal
snce oftheir journey. II
Hon. Jerry Simpsons jokes were
10 irresistible the party would not let
him leave the train and he accompa-
MED them TO Amarillo. He told his
original joke on the devil. He says,
sIf the devil had brought the Lord to
he Captain mountain when he Tempt
ID Him and had shown Him The Pc
EOS valley and made the same offer
