After a trip through the farming
district in the vicinity of Roswell,
any person familiar with the requi-
sites of Uncle Sans Rural Free De
livery will know that Roswell could
have another rural route for the
free delivery of mails, as well as
not. There is now one route. and
this route covers only part of the
territory where good roads and
thickly distributed farm houses are
to be found. This one route could
be divided and more territory added
to each. making two routes that in
every way would comply with the re-
quirements of the law.
1t is the opinion of many who are
advised in the matter that all the
proposition needs is to have a move
started for a second route, and that
it could be easily secured. A peti-
ton among the patrons is the proper
method of starting the ball rolling.
Some one should circulate such a
petition.

cause of the coming catastrophe is
poor engineering in diverting the
course of the Colorado river for irri-

into the banks of it's new course TO
such an extent that nearly all the
Colorado river flows into the valley.
Engineers after many frantic efforts
