The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1905-05-04

A large crowd of public spirited
citizens responded to the invitation
to meet with the directors of the Ros-
well Commercial Club at the Club
Rooms last night and ak over the
proposition of putting down a deep
well in Roswell. 1t is a question in
which many are interested and the
big attendance was the cause of no
surprise.
The proposition was discussed at
length by all present. The two repre-
senuatives of Polly, Osborn & Com
pany, who want to put down the well.
spoke on the subject and gave their
opinion, as expert drillers. that the
outlook for oil or gas in this vicinity
is good. But the citizens present iced
ed no such talk to convince them that
a well should be put down. 1t was
the general opinion that a well at
least 1000 and from 1000 to 1000 #.
deep should be sunk here at once.
If neither oil nor gas are found the
well will De a good thing, for there
IS not a we of this depth in the
city. Water is found so easily here,
10 person has " taken the trouble
to go down to the heavy artesian flow
well should be sunk a committee was
appointed to devise ways and means
of getting this work accomplished
and to select what they consider the
best location for the well. They will
report he'll recommendations at an
other meeting of the citizens which
will be held at the clu rooms next
Monday night, at eight O'Clock sharp.
All persons interested in Roswell
having a deep well should attend this
meeting. They are given a cordial

club or not.
On this committee were put J. NJ.
Hervey, H. r. Morrow. L. K. McGaf-
fey and J. A. Graham, secretary of the
Roswell Commercial Club.
The finding of oil or gas in this sec
ton of the country would mean a
great boon to the Valley. 1t would
mean cheap fue and that is one of
the things the Valley most needs.
There have been a number of cases
that give reasonable grounds to hope
First Street a well 200 feet was put
down and oil and gas dubbed to the
surface continually. East of town in
sinking a well the drillers passed
through oil sand. At the Riverside
Stockyards the gas comes out of wells
so profusely it can be collected and
burned. Recently at a river side well
a bucket was placed owe the top of
the casing and the gas allowed to
collect under it. A match was applied
and the gas exploded with such force
that the bucket was blown into the
air and the man with the match was
knocked down. This shows how
strong the flow of gas was at this
wei.
A deep well will determine what
there is in the gas and oil proposition
1t will also determine what else lies
beneath Roswell. Nothing else will
solve the mystery. Therefore the
sinking of the well is a matter of all
Importance. Therefore all public
spirited citizens should attend the
meeting next Monday night

DURUM WHEAT IN
GROWING DEMAND
Europe Takes More than Ever
Orient Expected Soon to Take
Large Quantities.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Nov. 17.-It is the opin-
ion of Secretary Wilson and every other
member of the agricultural department
having to do with the question, that
durum wheat has now gone far beyond
the experimental stage, and must from
this time on be reckoned as one of the
vital forces in the agricultural world.
The recent export of 100000 bush
els Of durum to Marseilles, where it is
to be used in the manufacture Of
French macaroni, in the opinion of Sec
nent market for this wheat in Europe.
This order came at the true Fpsycho-
logical moment'' There had been a
succession of poor crops in Europe, and
it was impossible to supply the Euro
pean demand without importing. At
hte same time the crop in this country
was not only the largest yet grown,
bit M Was Of a very high grade. This
export shipment will equal, in all the
elements demanded for macaroni pur-
poses, any hard wheat ever grown
abroad and surpass the average of the
foreign yields. The future of this ex-
port market, therefore, seems assured
officials that it will grow year by year
Supply May outstrip Demand.
Secretary Wilson made an address in
the northwest last spring, in the course
of which he said, that the durum crop
of 1905 would probably aggregate 100,
600 900 bushels. He overshot the mark
so far as this particular year is con
cerned, but he, and the men under him
agree in the prediction that the cror
will go to lO0,O0O,00O bushels within

MODERN POSTAL

By w, w. Jermane.

Washington, Nov. II. Postmaster

complete readjustment of department

duties Of his four assistants, marks a
very important step in Qostoffice depart
mental affairs, and will go far toward
bringing the department down to date

1t has been a matter Of common
knowledge for years that this depart
ment has been the most unprogressive
of any in the government. It has fol-
lowed the original lines marked out in
the last decade Of the eighteenth cen
tury-lines which were all right in their
day, when the country was small and
the postal business light, but entirely
inadequate to modern needs and condi-

that as the direct result of that order,

Of equal Importance with that order
is the policy of Mr.. Cortelyou with re-
spect to postmasters in large cities
Here, too, a progressive note has been
struck, which will make for increased
efficiency in every first class postoffice
in the country. The amount of red tape
to be removed here will also make a
good-sized cargo. .s.-- =
Heretofore, all postmasters have beer
under the immediate eye Of the depart
ment, and have had no power Of initia
tive. no discretion, save within the
smallest of limits. Practically every
question coming up in postoffice, fol
example, had to be referred to Washing
ton for approval, and this always in

delay, the local postmaster being simply
the purveyor of certain information
and the department, sometimes many

to pass upon questions Of which it coult

Market in the Orient.
. Mr.. Carleton thinks there is great
significance in the oriental flour situa-
tion at this time. Japan and certain
portions of China and Manchuria are
not producing as much wheat as they
require. The importers in those coun-
tries have Informed American millers
and exporters that they can take very
much larger consignment each year
than has thus far been offered. they
insist, however, that the wheat sent
them shall possess the maximum Of pro-
tein bodies. The soft wheats grown on
Puget sound, and the spring Wheats of
the Red river valley, as well as the
country, are not so rich in these food
qualities as the durum wheat, from,
which fact, it is argued by the depart
ment Of agriculture, there ought to be a
splendid market in the orient for this
variety. So strongly IS this belief tax
ing hold of the millers in certain parts
Of the country, that the wheat growers
! Of western Idaho, under the advice OF
the millers of that region. are now pre-
pairing to SOW durum in larger quaint
ties, beginning next year, the mills
agreeing to grind it for export to the
far east. Durum is being grown to fine
advantage in the Pelouse districts Of
Washington state, where there is 9
semi arid condition, and it's extension il

luth and Minneapolis have advised their
country correspondents in the Dakotas
to encourage the sowing of durum,
promising to provide a good market for
every bushel offered. Under this one
stimulus, it is said that many farmers
not heretofore interested in durum have
prepared to SOW it next spring, while
farmers who already have grown it are
to increase their acreage. It is the
Judgment of M. A. Carleton, chief ce-
fealist of the agricultural department,
that it will not be long before all the
big mills Of the country, especially in
the middle west, will be taking all the
durum that is offered. He tells me Of

bore out all that the department has
ever claimed along the line that durum
would make as white a bread as the
fife Wheats.

A number of samples Of durum and

the fife had previously been shown by
experiments to be whittier than the du

fact that the durum flour had beer

In Memoriam.

The late Mrs. r. 0. Burton was an
active worker in both the Ladies
Guild of the Episcopal church and
the Village Improvement Associa-
ton. These organizations have
spread upon their records their high
estimate of the deceased. Her private
ministrations of love in every day
affairs of life will go unrecorded save
in the hearts of those who benefited
by her kindly deeds, and these were
so numerous that all who knew her
bear her in affectionate remem-
brance.
At the last regular monthly meet
ing of the branch of the Woman's
Auxiliary of the Church of the Holy
Comforter, Crescent City, Florida
the following resolutions Were
adopted
Whereas, With sad hearts and sore,
we grieve for our dear sister, Mrs
Robert o. Burton, who since our last
meeting has passed from the church
militant to the Church at Rest, and
Whereas, We realize the loss we
have sustained; that we miss the
bright and cheerful spirit, the will
ing hand of her who was always
ready to spend and be spent in the
work of our society.
Resolved, That while we mourn
g, k,ixF 30 Lot a
her zeal and her unselfish spirit, and
Resolved, That we extend to the
household so bereft of wife and
mother our deep and heartfelt SYM
pathy in their affection, praying that
the Good Shepherd will send them
the Comforter, who shall soothe their
grief and guide them into the rest
where she has entered, the rest that
remaineth for the people of God. y
Resolved, That these resolutions
ofregret and sympathy be entered up
on the records of the society, a copy
sent to the family Of our sister and
that they be published.
The last meeting of the V. l. a.
ordered the following resolutions
spread upon the records of the associ-
alton:
"While in the death of Mrs. r.. o.
Burton the association has lost a
member whose services in her pub
lie capacity were so marked and evil
dent as to make eulogy almost per
functory, yet special to our late
member were those personal charac-
teristics which made every associate
a personal friend. Those who know
the inadequacy of words to express
their feelings when such pass from
sight forever, can best understand
this brief public remembrance

Mr. Harp had hound pup that had

Something had to be done. A friend
suggested to Mr.. Harp that he feed
the dog all the fried eggs he could
be induced to eat, and that after his
appetite was satisfied he would be-
come sick of the very appearance of
eggs. Mr.. Harp tried it. Doggie
was fed fresh fried eggs as fast as
they could be prepared for him.
When the 10th egg was finished
the hound looked pleasant, wagged
his tail and asked for more. The
18th, 18th, 18th and 18th egg had the
same effect. The dog still wanted
more, but there Were no more. The

Bigger, aged II years, on the death

The poem would do credit to many

POOR OLD JIM.
Old Jim at last has passed away,
No more he'll gorge on oats and hay
He was the best in Michigan,
Or any other foreign land.
For papa said, he can't be beat,
He'd pull himself clear off his feet.
We hired lad called Billy Cook,
Who started out to square the book !;
He piled on Jim load of straw,
With which much pleasure he
thought he'd draw,
But instead of that, he tried to back
Which caused Jim's poor old legs to
crack.
Instead of letting Jim lay down,
He pulled him out and struck for
town;
And piled on him two cords of wood,
Which did rot do him any good.
But the poor brute pulled with II
will,
And would have been pulling still,
And ploughed the ground for corn
and rye,
Had not it been his time to die.
Poor papa, he gave way to grief,
All we could say was no relief,
The tears began to ooze away,
1t seemed as if his hair turned gray.
And mamma who is always CHEEKY,
Said, do not cry for horse my
deary."
She fondly pressed him to her heart,
And said 1.-The best of friends must
part
We've lost old horses by the score,
But never saw you weep before.
At his own weakness, he had to
grin,
He smiled and said mot like old

And now we're left to mourn the
loss,
OF Jim who was "A faithful "hoss, -
And as the spring time draweth
nigh,
And us the crows begin to fly,
They'll settle on his poor old frame,
While we still tell of his speed and
