The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1904-08-02

Editor Record:-As the question of
holding a fair this fall is under dis
cussion, | wish to make a few re-
marks to assist if possible in making
an annual fair in Roswell a success.
This is one of the places where a fair
should be a grand success. A great
rivalry existed among agriculturists
and horticulturists nearly one humid
red years ago in Scotland. The first
fair held was in that country, and
was brought about by two adjoining
farmers who would meet often at the
ing which had the best field of cab
bage, and they could not agree, there
fore judges were appointed to settle
were started all over the country as
a place where agriculturists and hor
ticulturists could meet and exhibit
pare notes and exchange ideas. All
this led t. creating an honest rivalry.
The different breeds of fine stock we
n va &c uyn1l q G tho hnn fr1itC on6
grains are largely the result of these
fairs. The agriculturist and the hor-
%ticulturist have made greater prog
ress since fairs were started than for
two or three hundred years previous.
| have always taken a great interest
in fairs, but / am opposed to making
a fair a racing one. Also these roping
contests should be stopped. 1t is GER
tainly cruelty to animals. Plenty of
other attractions for successful fairs
are held all over England and Scot
land, and not a race is run in connec
ton with them. 1t is a great mis-
take, giving all YOU funds to have
horse racing, especially as we are
isolated and cannot expect to get fine
horses in here. Horse-racing men
and those who follow them as a rule
do not help the country very much.
If you will have some racing, put UP
a proper sum for a ive-mile relay
cow-pony race-the same for the Mex
leans of whom we have quite a popu-
Iation. / notice that they have many
friends about election time. They
should be entertained, and then a
two or three mile relay race for the
ladies'. These are better attractions
than a 2:3O or a 2:40 trot, and the
money is spent among people who
work hard for the benefit of the coun-
ty. Your classification of the prem
ium list is out of all proportion. For
instance, one and two hundred dollars
is given for a very ordinary horse
race; one, two and three dollars is
given for the best bushel of apples,
peaches, pears, ETC., and the same in
the farm and garden products. This
Is the small sop thrown to the men
that largely make any county and
town. Fifty dollars at least should
be given for the best exhibit of fruit
Ill the exhibitors own growing; the
to the farm and garden prod
lcts included as one.
Give literally to the stock inter

ANOTHER RAILROAD PROJECTED.

For some months past s. new
trunk railroad from Kansas City
to Houston has been talked of,
and of late the scheme seems to
be. assuming definite shape.
p. w. Bean, of Kansas City,
one of the promoters, has recent
ly made trip over the proposed
route, much of the trip being
covered by private conveyance,
and he has declared the proposed
route traverses more unoecupied
territory and a richer territory
than any other that could be pro-
posed.
Take a rule and lay IL on a
map and you will see that, in a
course almost due south, Denison
and Dallas are reached, and that
from Dallas to Houston, on n bee.
line, are Athens, Palestine and
Crockett.
MIR. Bean was in Crockett a
short time ago, and left that town
in private conveyance for Hous-
ton, and a recent press dispa tch
from Grand Saline says Mr.. b, can.
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1904-02-20
PALESTINE, TEXAS, FEBRUARY 20, 1904.

has about located the route, anC
that the survey will soon begin al
or near Athens, thence to Pales.
tine and Crockett, and that the
first miles of road built will likely
be between these points.
| Nothing has been heard of Mr..
Bean in Palestine. Perhaps he
may knock for admission later.
If he does, then Palestine had
better come across without hest
tation.
1t is the general opinion of
railroad projectors that any at
tempt to bring a new road into
Palestine would be met with strong
opposition. Whether or not there
is ground for such an opinion the
HERALD is not prepared to say;
but the HERALD does know that
Palestine could and should have
had the T. & n. o. railroad. and
did not get it because it did
not seem to want it; and just one
or two more lost opportunities
like that will be fatal to the town.
Palestine needs and must have
more railroads if she desires to
grow in Importance. The town
cannot afford to have another
railroad traverse Palestine terri
tory without coming to Palestine.
1t is safe proposition to say that
not more that one or two more
roads will be built through this
territory within the next hundred
years.
This proposed route from Kan
sas City to Houston will probably
be Palestine's last-epportunity.
When that gap between Athens
and Palestine is filled this terri
tory will have been fully occupied.
The question is, is Palestine
going to grasp this opportunity if
offered, or by her own neglect
relegate Palestine to the list of
"has beens?" The city may be
called on to answer this question
soon.
