ARBoR DAY.
Monday, February 29th Will Be OBJ
served by the Cemetery
Association.

The citizens of Roswell should not
forget that Monday, February goth.
will be observed by the ladies of the
Cemetery Association as Arbor day
for the planting of trees and flow
ers in the South Side Cemetery. No
tice of this has been previously Civ
en- through the columns of THE RE-
CORD. and it is earnestly desired
that every citizen contribute to this
worthy enterprise.
The ladies ask that each citizen
of Roswell donate a rooted tree to
be planted by them in the cemetery
next Monday. The trees should be
donated at once. and should be SEN
to Mrs. w. c. Burrus who will take
proper care of all trees until Mon
day. the time for planting. Any root
ed shade tree will be acceptable. Al
so bulbs. flowers, or shrubs. will be
thankfully received.
The well at the cemetery has
been completed there is now
abundant supply of water, which as
sureS the growth of all the trees
planted. On Monday next the ladies
of the Cemetery Association will go
10 the cemetery in a body and viii,
spend the entire day there in plant,
ing the trees and flowers.
No more commendable and wor-
thy enterprise was ever undertaken
in Roswell, and the people should
respond generously to this call. 1t is
the duty of each one to send to Mrs.
w. C. Burrus some time before Mon
day next a rooted tree or shrub and
to help in this manner to make
beautiful the resting place of our
dead.

THOSE MAPS.
very slim.

Delegate Rodey some time ago an
nounced that the map of New Mexico
would soon be published. 1t is pub
lished now, but the Department re-
fuses to give him any for distribu
ton. save a very few, and wants to
charge six cents apiece for them.
He is making an effort to get them
free. as he has several applications
on file for them, and has introduced
a resolution in the house to that end
The map of the United States for
last year. which would have been
published the other day. and of
which every member of congress
would have gotten quite a quota for
distribution, was destroyed in the
fire at Baltimore. and will have to be
and reprinted. So the coun-
try will have to do without thai fine
map for several months yet.

HE RIDES TWO HORSES.

The political complexion of the
United States has been changed ma
terially by the death of Senator Han
ma. While to the outside world Han
ma and Roosevelt were friends, real
ly. the bitterest antagonism existed
between them. Had Senator Hanna
lived there is no doubt tina Mr..
Roosevelt would have a very hard
time in winning out at the Chicago
convention. AS things now stand it
is a thousand to one shot that Mr..
Roosevelt will be nominated and in
his nomination the Democratic party
will find a very easy candidate to
beat. A pretty good evidence of the
way Mr.. Roosevelt switches is dem
onstrated by a dispatch printed on
February LIST in the Chicago Record
Herald, a Republican newspaper
signed by MI. Walter Wellman. a
very prejudiced partisan writer for
the Roosevelt clique. In this dispatch
Mr.. Wellman admits with almost
charming frankness that the differ.
ences between the Roosevelt admin
istration and the Wall Street mag
eral of the magnates have recently
been entertained by Mr.. Roosevelt
at the White House that they were
generally satisfied with the course
of affairs so far as the administration
is cncerned, and that even the
Rockefellers are showing a DISPOSE
ton to fall into line"
Then after saying that Mr.. Roose-
welt was "a pretty good politician"
Mr.. Wellman backed up his claim
with this interesting statement: 1T
requires genius of a high order to
carry on a little crusade against
Wall Street and through it gain i'm
mense popularity with the masses
of the people as the foe of the
trusts and then to turn round and
gain the approval and possibly the
help of a considerable share of Wall
Street Itself"

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
Of Trade" says:
Labor controversies are the most
serious drawbacks to recovery in bus
mess, most other important factors
tending toward improvement De-
spite some reduction in the yield of
wheat. crop prospects are most en-
couraging, and the loss in quantity OF
wheat promises to be fully Offset by
higher prices, so that the agricul-
turalscommunities will be in position
to purchase commodities freely.
Delayed orders for iron and steel
products are being placed, and at
wooden mills there is a notable in
crease in activity. Railway earnings
in July were only "a per cent smaller
than a year previous, and at many
cities there is evidence of returning
confidence, with little improvement
in mercantile collections. But sever
al strikes in progress and others I'M
der consideration mitigate against
resumption of normal assumptions of
trade and manufacture.
