Delegate Andrews must think the
people of New Mexico are further be-
hind the times than ever h Arizona
politicians charge. He has recently
sent out a lot of printed matter from
Washington to his constituents, but
he either forgot to look at the dates
or thought anything would do for the
Democrats in this section of the Ter
ritory. He sent City Attorney K. K.
Scott a copy of the Congressional Di-
rectory for 1896, and others received
books equally out of dat He could
have just as easily sem under his frank
a directory eight years later. Perhaps
some of his Mexican disciples who
cannot read English will be favorably
impressed by the weight of the book,
but the Democrats in the Pecos Val
ley judge the value of a book by the
timeliness of it's contents.

New Mexico, and why he came-but
they cut it out on o of it be-
ing considered a personal reflection
by some of the committee.
1t was a joke in early days to ask
the stranger what his name was be-
fore he left Texas, but no one except
the old timers themselves dares ask
this question even today.
Another notable fact in the history
of the old timers is that man of the
leading ones now living in this vi
| cinity served at one time or another
as deputy sheriffs with and under
Captain Poe. The sketch of Mr.. Poe
will necessarily be the most lengthy
one yet to be published. He was the
man who stood at the head of the
law and order forces at a time when
the six-shooter was law and the man
behind the gun was the court.
Mrs. L. G.. Klasner claims to be the
first settler who still resides in the
county. She came with her parents
in 1867 from Mason county, Texas,
where she was born. She still resides
on the same farm where her father
settled when he came, about As miles
west of Roswell on the Hondo. The
land had not yet been surveyed by
the government when her father, Ro-
bert Casey, pitched his tent. There
was then only one other white fam
lily in the Valley, and the land on
which Casey settled was hen in So
zorro county. The family got their
carried by pony post. Mr.. Casey died
in 1875, but Mrs, Klasner's mother
her old home in Texas. The story of
how title to the land, which was i'm
proved before it was surveyed, was
finally secured, and many other Incl
dents Of the early days will be writ
ten for publication by Mrs. Klasner
herself.
Said an old timer in a reminiscent
mood, They may talk about boosters
and friends of Roswell and the Valley
and all that-but to two men, and
deal in many ways-but particularly
to Nathan Jafa and Will Prayer are
we indebted for the first artesian well.
Well do 1 remember when they struck
it-just the first flow, and a little one
at that, but enough to show the way.
All the population of Roswell, a small
number then, were wild with enthus-
iasm, and the men proceeded to irri-
gate and grow more enthusiastic still.

pointed for the Old Settlers reunion:
G. A. Richardson, John w. Poe, z. A.

The cards are out for h Old Set

handsome and appropriate. Invitations
in the county are limited to old Set
tiers, that Is 20 years or more actual
residents in the Territory, their fami-
lies etc. Outside of this only mem
bers of the press and public officials
will be invited. But quite a number
from Eddy county and all other parts
of the Territory will be invited.
1t is proposed to secure photographs
Of many If the old timers at the re-
groups and by families. Nearly every
old settler will wish to secure a col.
lection OF the pictures. The old tim
ers are some of them passing away,
and every year some of them will be
missing at the reunions. Their pic
lures will be valued more as the
years go by.

"Neighbor'' Gayle, our popular county

nearly all have been at one time or

SI6I,OOO, 600 for Water.

The preliminary report of the Board
of Water Supply, as presented Thursday
to the Board Of Estimate advocates the
expenditure by the city of sl8l 900 600
in the next ten years to furnish supply
of water adequate to the needs Of Greater
New York for third of a century
to come. The problem is intricate and
the needs of the city are pressing The
new board has not wasted time 80 far,
and it is apparent that the grave condi-
tions existing in all the boroughs have
been impressed upon its members.
To supply the enormous sums re-
quired to pay for the new water system
municipal bonds must be issued, and
under the State Constitution rs it reads
now such bonds would be counted in the
computation of the municipality bor-
rowing capacity under the 10 per cent.
debt limitation clause. In order to re-
lieve the city of the Embarrassment
such drains on its borrowing power
would cause, two Legislatures have ap-
proved a constitutional amendment
which if adopted by the people would
exclude water bonds from the computa-
ton of the city's indebtedness for the
establishment of its debt limit. The
proposed amendment will be voted on
at the election next month. If it is
approved the water supply bonds will
be issued as needed without interfering
in any way with other municipal ex-
penditures. If ii is defeated the city's
money for decade will be absorbed in
the water system extension, to the ex-
cusion of practically. all other great
municipal enterprises.
1t is a question which cannot be wisely
decided without deep consideration by
every voter.
