A NEW COURT HOUSE
The Sixth judicial District and Fed.
erai Court Will Require New
Building.-A Number Of Interesting
Speeches Were Made.

The smoker given at the Roswell
Club rooms Saturday night, in honor
of w. H. Pope, presiding judge of the
Fifth Judicial district. was an Occa-
sion of more than ordinary interest.
Not only were there good things to
smoke. eat and drink on hand, but
the talks made by those present
brought ont number of things OF
great in nortance to Roswell and the
entire valley.
A majority of the members of the
Roswell Club were at the rooms
when Judge Pope arrived. Cigars and
cigarettes were plentiful, and soon
all were enjoying them. After some
time spent in general conversation
and smoking, Hon. G. A. Richardson
arose, and with few well chosen
words welcomed Judge Pope and the
other friends of the Club. In his re-
marks, Judge Richardson spoke OF
the formation of new judicial dis
trict. and referring to the fact that
the supreme court of the Territory
would arrange these districts. asked
Judge Pope for an expression as to
what counties would be included in
the new district.
The talk made by Judge Pope was
extremely interesting for a number
of reasons. Replying to the inquiry
made by Judge Richardson, he said
that it seemed probable that the
counties of Roosevelt, Chaves. Eddy
and Lincoln would comprise the Sixth
district, but that he could not say def
nitely what action the supreme court
would take in the matter. However.
with Roswell as the headquarters of
the new district, these counties. al
lied as they were by social and bust
ness ties. seemed to him. the ones
which should comprise the district.
The bringing of a resident Judge to
Roswell, with the coming of a feder-
al court, meant much to Roswell. It
added to the business importance of
the place and also brought additional
responsibilities. Some arrangement In
regard to the court house was neces-
sary. The building was too small. Ju-
ry rooms were needed. and rooms
and the Clerk of the court. The coun-
ty officers were also crowded and

Pope. and he hoped the county COM

Prosecuting Attorney James NJ.
Hervey followed Judge Pope. and
spoke along similar lines. He also
thought that Chaves. Eddy. Roose
velt and Lincoln counties should con-
stitute the new judicial district. In
regard to q proper court fund. he
mentioned the fact that the court bur
siness Of the last year had been three
times as large as that Of the preced-
ing year. and this ate up the court
fund. In number Of cases the county
