people and other immigra-

Tallmadge people and other immigra-
ton agencies bring their people &C
companied by a large body of their
agents. AS a result during the entire
journey these agents cour the trains,
clean up all the ~prospectors who are
coming to this country and get them
into their control. They are pushed
through Roswell to other points and
Roswell gets no benefit from them.
1t is good business on the part of
the Tanmadge people to do this. and
L am not complaining at them, but
it is also good business on our part
to prevent it, and 1 believe it can
easily be lone by this Club without
expense to the Club or this commu-
nifty.
The Santa Fe gives free transpor-
tation to those who can establish that
they are or may become a competent
immigration agency, producing re-
suits. This Club should at once ad-
dress Mr.. Black and establish the
fact that it is and has been for years
the leading immigration agent in this
Valley. 1t has for many years spent
all Of it's funds, which in the aggre-
gate have been large, toward this
purpose. 1t regularly sends an exhibit
car from this Valley into the farming
sections; distributes large quantities
of advertising matter and is support
dred and seventy of it's leading bust
less men. AS an agency which
concession from the railroad which
any other active agent can obtain.
1t is entitled to have it's agents upon
these immigration trains who shall
see that the people who start for Ros-
well. attracted by its past and pres
ent efforts in the way of advertising,
arrive at Roswell with a proper under
standing Of its advantages. He should
be requested to give the travelling ag-
ent Of this Club transportation be-
tween Chicago and Roswell and re-
turn upon it's immigration trains. The
Club should then appoint a compe-
tent agent for this purpose. There
would be no expense attached to this
as a competent man can b. obtained
who will do this wor for the advan-
tages it will bring him in introducing
these people to our local real estate
and business men. 1 will ask your
Board to consider this matter careful
ly and if this plan is approved to
take this matter up at once with Mr..
Black. 1 am, Yours truly,
(Signed) L. K. McGAFFEY.
Charles Roberts and L. Kinds, who
are the men back Of the canning fac
tory proposition, appeared before the
meeting and gave all heir plans for
the big enterprise. Their detailed pro-
position was favorably received by
the board, and when they had fin
ished talking there was no doubt in
the minds of the directors but what
a canning factory will be a feasible
and profitable industry for Roswell.
The proposition of these two gentle
it was decided to call a meeting of
the whole club and the farmers of the
vicinity h may be interested in
the proposition, for some time in the
near future. The weather is too bad
to hold a successful meeting of this
kind Immediately.
The directors instructed the secre-
tary to notify all d~elinquents thai in
the future no member will be carried
longer than 60 days when his Club
dues are not paid.
j. A. Cottingham and J. NJ. Nelson
were voted in as new members of
the Club.
