more dailies than she knew what
to do with. AS the history Of the
past rear has been interesting from
q newspaper standpoint. not to say
strenuous. q resume of this period
may not o undressing to the
reader.
For months previous to March End
1903. it had been the intention of
THE RECORD to issue the first dai-
ly in Roswell. and to do this just
a. soon as press reports could be Sc
cured, believing that Roswell would
demand more of a daily paper than
just a local sheet. However. it was
announced during the last days of
last February that one of the REC
|ORD'S two weekly competitors
would begin the publication of a dali
ly at least for a short time on Mon
day, March End. THE RECORD de-
sired the honor of having the first
daily in Roswell. So with nc blare
of trumpets or shouting from the
housetops it proceeded to realize
this ambition. Sunday evening.
March list, 1903, the RECORD office
rom front and rear on the outside
presented a deserted appearance.
No lights shone through the drawn
curtains, but within there was about
as much. activity as is ever seen in

gun on bringing out the first edition
Of the MORNING RECORD. So that
by sunrise, unbeknown to anyone

In the afternoon of March End two

A few weeks later ON the sale of

the Daily Register was discontinued
In the latter part Of next month the

The history of the famous printers

-
The question at issue was whether
the Socialistic agitators of the local
typographical union would dictate
the business and political policy OF
THE RECORD without regard to the
wishes or desires of it's editor and
manager. The citizens of Roswell
made this issue their own. SO that
in a very short time the local typo
graphical union was a thing of the
past, and every Striker sought
fields that were green and pastures
new. In the early part of May THE
DAILY RECORD resumed it's publ
cation from an ..open shop and not

day to this. In July Mr.. C. C. EN-

WORSE Off THAN EVER.
Producers and Consumers OF Dressed
Beet al Mercy Of Packers.

Washington, Mar. 7.-During gen.
cral debate Mr., Martin, a republican
member from South Dakota, addressed
the house on his reasons for desiring
the secretary of commerce and labor to
investigate the causes OF the difference
which exists between the cost of live
and dressed beef.
He asserted that, SO far as the pro-
Queer and consumer were concerned,
they were even worse off than before
the injunction was secured against the
beef concerns, and in support of this
statement cited the experiences of
stoclSmen in the market.
Mr.. Martin said that the Western
stock men had been forced to the con-
clusion that the great meat markets OF
the country were manipulated agmnst
them. The recent meeting Of the
Stock Raisers' Association had recog-
nized this fact by resolutions favoring
the esta blishment of independent pack
ing houses.
''But," continued Mr.. Martin, $50 far
as the rights of the producer and con-
sumner are concerned they are even
worse than before this injunction was
placed on this so-called trust. / think
there is every indication that after the
injunction they changed their methods,
and, instead of agreeing and combining
in advance, their representatives go
into the market every day and when
one bids on a lot of beef the others
refrain from bidding against him and
afterward divided up the purchase
among themselves"

MAY CLOSE THE DEAL.
Can Pay For Panama Canal Rouie Al
Once.

Washington, Mar. A conclusion
of the negotiations for the title to the
Panama canal property is in sight.
Within thirty days, perhaps in short
er time the United States will be in
full possession of the property and the
money consideration will have been
paid to both the republic of Panama
and to the new Panama Canal com
pany. Attorney General Knox had
conference with the president at which
the whole subject, so far as the legal
phases of it are concerned was consid-
cred and decided. At the conclusion
of the conference, the attorney gener-
al authorized the following statement:
81 have advised the president that
he is authorized to pay at once to the
republic Of Panama $4,000, 900, stipu-
lated for by the treaty, the ratifica-
tions of which have just been ex'
changed. Also that he is authorized
to pay the new Panama Canal company
the $40, 900. 900 which under the agree
ment between the United States and
that company we are to pay for It's
property, and have notified the canal
company we are ready to close the
transaction
The details in the transfer Of the
company's property should not require
more than thirty days.

Certificates Of Bowersook And Allen
for Congress from Second District
START FROM GARNE17 TOGETHER.
Bowersock's Filed First. Contest Before
State Board Declared Final by sn-
promo Court. Alton VIII Try The
Court

Topeka, Mar. THE double headed
convention at Garnett wound up its
work shortly after noon One section
nominated Congressman j. ID. Bower
sock. The other section nominated
Henry ]. Allen. Each side had pre-
pared it's nomination certificate in ad-
vance and, as soon as the nomination
was made, the certificate was duly
signed by the proper officers and ac-
knowledged
Within ten minutes after the con-
vention had adjourned regular Mis-
souri, Pacific train left Garnett for
Topeka Bowersock's nomination GER
tificate was handed to Tom Kelly, state
treasurer, to file. He was coming
home, Henry j. Allen and Grant
Hornaday had Aliens certificate, and
they, too, boarded tho train.
Each soon discovered what was up.
Hornaday telegraphed from the next
station to friends in Topeka to have a
carriage at the Missouri Pacific depot
on Fifth street so that he and Allen
could rush to the state house and file
Aliens certificate.
Kelly got onto this. Having lived in
Topeka for some time he knew the lay
of the ground and he wired ahead to
friend of his to have a carriage meet
the train at Fifteenth street, where the
Missouri Pacific crosses the Santa Fe.
All trains stop at that crossing. When
the train reached here, Kelly found his
carriage at the crossing and stepped
into it and rode to the state house,
where he filed Bowersocli's nomination
certificate.
Aliens friends will prepure a protest
against Bowersock's papers and file it.
This will make up the issue in the case.
The contest board will fix date for
the hearing. At that hearing, each
side will submit evidence to support its
claim for the certificate. The one that
is turned down will not be able to get
on the official ballot under the repub-
lican head If he insists on running,
he will either have to get nomination
from another convention or put his
name on by petition signed by $500
voters of his district. His name will go
on as an independent candidate.
The supreme court has decided in
former case that the acts of the state
contest board are final, still Aliens
friends say they can appeal in case they
can show that fraud was committed.
If Allen loses before the board, his
friends will try to get into court.

q. 8. suprem. Court Int.rven...

Denver, Mar. 5.-Attorney General
Miller has received notice from the
attorney general of the United States
that he will make application, March
IA, to the supreme court of the United
States for permission to intervene in
the Kansas Colorado suit concerning
the use of the Arkansas river waters.
This action on the part of the federal
government, was a complete surprise &c
the Colorado officers. Colorado's con-
tention that no other state nor the
United States has any power to say
what shall be done with waters that
rise in Colorado is opposed by the at
torney general of the United States.
Mr.. Miller said, only as regards the
general government, which will insist
upon its water priorities. Otherwise.
according TO Mr.. Miller's claims, the
position of the United States Is favor
able for Colorado.

The Federation Of Clubs. Gov. Bailey and

ALL PARENTS SHOULD READ THIS.
The Syndicate Which Took Girls To The

traoted to Procure 10000 For St
Louis And Arc Advertising.

Topeka, Mar. 5.--The Topeka Fed
Grafton of Clubs, as well as the state
federation are getting active In the
matter of protection of girls.
1t is said that the Syndicate at ST
Louis has contract to procure 10000
girls. 1t is operating in Missouri and
her sister states. The same "syndi-
cate" took girls to the Chicago fair.
Advertisements lately have appeared
in a certain class of newspapers, to the
effect that girls can find pleasant en-
ploymeut at good wages" in st. Louis
daring the fair. Easy work and short
hours" are temptations offered. Girls
are invited to write to employment
bureaus" the addresses of which are
given.
Experienced people know that there
is no pleasant employment with easy
work and short hours at good wages in
St. Louis for Kansas girls on the look
out for jobs They know that the adj
yertisers are in the business of pro-
curing young girls for st. Louis houses
of ill fame But the inexperienced
people know nothing about it, and I'M
less the better posted citizens In every
community take an interest in the work
started by the good women of the Fed
Grafton, thousands of girls now re-
spectacle will find themselves inmates
of ST. Louis brothels before the worlds
fair is half over. Governor Bailey says
that if there is section in the Kansas
law which covers the case, he will use
all his power to bring 10 swift justice
any person caught in an attempt to
take girl out of Kansas for immoral
purposes.
The attention of the United States
District Attorney j. S. Dean has been
called to the matter. He says that
persons who advertise for girls for i'm
moral purposes, even though the ad'
Vertisements be stated in phrases which
do not offend, may be prosecuted for
improper use of the mails.

WESTERN cANADA's RESOURCES.
EarmIna Very sueeessfuI.

BY Western or Northwest Canada IL
usually meant the great agricultural
country west Of Ontario, and north Of
Minnesota, North Dakota, and Mon
tana. Part of it Is agricultural prairie
treeless in places, park like in others
part is genuine plains, well adapted to
cattle ranches; part requires irriga'
ton for successful tillage, most Of II
does not. The political divisions OF
this region are the Province Of Mani.
toba and the territorial district of As
siniboia, Saskatchewan, Alberta and
Athabaska. At present. however, the
latter is too remote for immediate
practical purposes.
The general character of the soil of
Western Canada is rich, black, clay
loan with clay subsoil. Such a soil
Is particularly rich in food for the
wheat plant. The subsoil is clay,
which retains the winter frost until it
is thawed out by the warm rays Of
the sun and drawn upward to stimu-
late the growth Of the young wheat, so
that even in dry seasons wheat is
good crop. The clay soil also retains
the heat of the sun later in the sum-
mer and assists in the early ripening
of the grain. 1t is claimed that cul-
tiyation has the effect of increasing
the temperature of the soil several
degrees, as well as the air above it.
Western Canada climate is good
cold in winter, hot in summer, but
with cool nights. Violent storms of
any kind are rare. The rainfall is not
heavy. 1t varies with places, but aver
ages about II inches. 1t falls usually
at the time the growing crops need 1t.
The Department of the Interior, OF
tawa, Canada, has agents established
at different points throughout the
United States who will be pleased to
forward an Atlas of Western Canada
and give such other information as to
railway rate, etc, as may be required.
That agriculture in Western Canada
pays is shown by the number of testi-
monials given by farmers. The fol-
lowing Is an extract made from let.
ter from a farmer near Moose Jaw:
"At the present time l own sixteen
hundred acres of land, fifty horses and
large pasture fenced containing
thousand acres. These horses run out
all winter and come in in the spring
quite fat. A man with money judi
ciously expended will make compe-
tence very shortly. l consider in the
last six years the increase in the
value of my land has netted me forty
thousand dollars"
