NEW IMMIGRATION COMPANY
Local People Interested in Pecos Val
ley Land Development.

c. w. DeFreest recently returned
pointment as immigration agent of
the Santa Fe System. The new COM
pany has already established offices
in the Great Northern Building, Chi
cago. and in Roswell.
The style of the concern will be
the DeFreest-Draper Land Co. and
w. R. Draper will be in charge of
the Chicago branch. The plan will be
a cooperative one. There are already
associated with this concern promi-
each point in the Pecos Valley, which
insures it's success. Hon Jerry Simp-
son will personally conduct the ex-
cursions which are to be run twice
a month. and the company will have
it's own cars.
Movements will not be directed
toward one point in particular, but
will be general In character and bene-
fetal to each point from Roswell to
Lakewood.
This is a long felt want in the VAL
ley. and this project should have the
hearty support of it's residents. Busi-
ness will be conducted on fair mar
gin of profit. thereby eliminating the
feature of people going away with
fictitious ideas of land values which
are exceedingly reasonable at pres
ent for an irrigated district
The company now has travelling

ture, stereopticon views and pictures

THREE FEET IN HoNDo.

Water in Streets of Roswell.

1t Would Take Two More Feet to Put
Water in Streets of Roswell.
There has been gradual increase
in the amount of water in the Hondo
river for the past few days and the
rise reached it's most rapid rate last
night when in a space Of twelve hours
it came up six-tenths of a foot. At
six o'clock yesterday evening the gov
ernment guage showed that there was
2 and $40 feet of water in the river,
and early this morning the amount
was increased to three and four
tenths feet, which is the highest the
water has been since the flood last
fall. 1t would take a continued rise
of two more feet to throw the water
out of the river bed into the streets
of Roswell. The rise at this time of
year is very unusual. and is thought
to be caused by the melting snow in
the mountains. So long as it melts
gradually there is no danger. The on
ly condition that is likely to cause
flood is a warm rain on the snow that
would cause it to melt in one body.

Practically all the variety of hue

Wy officers present were decorated,
there was a dull level of black and
brown on the first floor. This mono

background by a sprinkle of gold on
