Chester Halle. secretary of the
Southwestern Irrigation Associa ion.
met the business men of the city last
night at the Roswell Club rooms. A
large number of representative bust
ness men were present. The meeting
was opened by w. M. Reed. who in
PRODUCED Mr.. Halle and explained the
object of the meeting.
Mr.. Halle told of the reason of his
visit to the city. He made a sensible
the audience from the start. He said
in part: 1.-The Southwestern Irrigation
Association is a branch of the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress, one of the
most powerful n important civic
bodies in the world. When the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress first met
at OdLL Adhe lily Twelve years ago,
and when it was organized the out
side world ridiculed the proposition
and thought it was absurd. In fact
they thought it was the height of
fo%olishness to try to reclaim the land
for cultivation that was only claimed
by the cactus and the rattlesnake.
From that time up to the present
we have succeeded by dint of hard
work and %unceasing struggle in prov
ing what irrigation could do for the
arid regions Of the west. The irriga.
ton laws have been amended from
time to time and the vast area of
land is being reclaimed in the sixteen
former arid states west of the Miss
issippi river.
The people of the west, northwest
and all portions of the east have re-
allied what irrigation has done for
the arid regions and they are fast
approaching this fact. The meetings
of the National Irrigation Congress
in the past few years have increased
in membership and there is more at
tention paid to the meetings each
year. The 1903 meeting was held in
Ogden, Utah, and there were twelve
hundred delegates and about ten thou
sand visitors to the meeting. Ell Pa
SO wen to Ogden with the purpose
of securing the 1904 meeting, and the
meeting will be at Ell Paso from
November Is to 10 inclusive. There
will likely be two thousand delegates
from every state in the Union and
about fifteen thousand visitors who
come with a view to locating in the
southwest. We have already receiv-
ed hundreds of letters from all parts
of the United States from people who
coming to the National
Congress next November. Those who
will be in attendance will be the
business and financial men
of the United States. Canada and
Mexico. The meeting of the National
Irrigation Congress will be one of the
most important events in the history
Of the entire southwest. The object
Of my visit to Roswell Is to secure
an authentic and reliable descriptive
of Roswell and the contiguous
territory, and the article will be pub
lished in the Miner and Manufactu-
one of the most reliable indus
trial publications in the United States
and the issue containing the article
will be distributed gratuitously by
the Southwestern Irrigation Associa-
lion. The distribution of this nterar
and the vast good it win do is
comprehension.

is that Democrats should settle their

it to the polls. Voters at the polls

The Election is Overflow What.
The election is over the votes have
been counted, and well you know
who got there. We (of the First
ward) fought hard, but fair, had nice
day and lots of fun. I believe every
man ought to have something to say
in nominating the tickets and do all
in his power in an honorable way to
elect it. If not. forever after hold
citizen say. this is our Mayor. this
is our board of aldermen and officers.
Let us help them to give us a good
city government, to improve the NOR
al atmosphere some every year. Let
us say this is our board of education.
and urge and help them to elect none
but the very best teachers from Sup
erintendent down. Those who have
the ability to make our schools bet

young city a desirable place to live.

is one of the most popular men per-
~sonally in Roswell. and the fact that
yesterday at the head of a mongrel
ticket he could not command more
than 80 per cent of the votes cast
proves conclusively that the people
approve Of straight tickets" in NUM-
cipal election as well as in all other
elections. It will probably be many
years before Roswell again has in the
field a hybrid. a mongrel. a fish and
fowl. a disgrunted ticket. 1t is not
"a ree Ike to the men personally on the
opposition ticket but a singing rebuke
that they allowed their names to be
used on this kind Of a ticket. A
straight republican ticket would have
demanded many more votes yesterday
than were given to the opposition tick
ct. In addition to this the Republi-l
| cans on the ticket would feel much
better to be defeated on a regular re-
publican ticket than to be defeated as
they were yesterday.
The contest in all the wards was
a good-natured one. No i'll feeling was
engendered. The election is over now
and it will be two years before we
have anothed city election. In the
mean time the Lesson of yesterday
should not be forgotten, and in the
meantime the responsibility is on the
democratic party to give Roswell an
administration in which every citi.
zen will take a pride. Political vie.

 There was nothing doing in stocks and bonds yesterday. All prices were steady and there were no features.
 Staple groceries are quiet and steady. No special features in the market were noted for yesterday.
 No change in the price list for fruits and produce was noted. The market is holding very steady Just at present. A feature of yesterday was a heavy ship ment of bananas. The fruit was in fine condition and will stand storage without being damaged. Oranges are also plen- tiful at present. Prices are steady, how ever. Strawberries now on sale are not very good and there are few takers at 30 cents per quart, although some of the restaurants are serving berries at 25 cents per saucer. 5eH

cothrar 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.


 New Orleans, February 26-Whife fluctuations in New York still present the appearance of manipulation, and or ders are comparatively small, quanti- ties are executed at several different prices, the influence of that market is less predominant. English cables denote a decidedly friendly attitude towards cot ton and prices display a rising tendency. Undoubtedly there is more healthy tone. The general impression here is that the present advance Is due to the inherent strength of the commodity and traders are more inclined to note legitimate feat ures. The small movement is causing some anxiety and an active inquiry for spots was to be noted throughout to- day, resulting in considerable business at advanced quotations Bullish features attract the greater share of attention. which in connection with the fact that the weak long interest has been elimi- mated places the contract market in a stronger position, practically the only deterring feature at the moment being the possibilities of the political situation in Europe. It is surprising to note the manner In which the quantity of short sales recently indulged in were absorbed.
