Both Secretary Taft and Secretary OF
State Root have advised Congress " is
doubtful il there is a harder-workinS
or more efficient official in all the War
Department than Colonel Edwards. and
many times both have recommended
that Congress raise the rank of the
chief of this bureau, the only bureau in
the department the chief of! which is
not entitled TO the rank of brigadier

In the four years the Bureau of Insu-
lar Affairs has been in existence. Col.
Edwards has been head and has been
compelled to face many difficult propo-
sitions in the Philippines. the Panama
canal and Porto Rico The work grew
so heavy that last fail il was found
advisable TO place canal affairs entirely
in the hands of the Isthmian Canal
Commission. For several months, the

only major. but within two years he
had been brevcted colonel.

The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1906-03-03

In the early days of the Pecos Val
ley, when Roswell was but hamlet
of a few houses, a great many trees
were set out, the beginning of the
many that now line our streets. Take
away these trees and Roswell would
present the appearance of the average
city on the plains. Our houses and
buildings would be left, it is true;
our streets would be still as wide and
as smooth, but with the trees gone
and the burning sun beating down
upon the unprotected head of the pc
destrian, Roswell would not be the
city it is today.
There are many handsome homes
in Roswell, surrounded by grassy
slopes, and a garden in the rear grow
ing a profusion of beautiful flowers,
but there should be more. Instead of
this being the exception in Roswell.
it should be the rule. Planting trees,
grasses and flowers on a property
does as much as anything else to add
to it's value, and at far less cost.
The Record for some time has had
it in mind to start some kind of
movement to arouse an interest in
the beautiful in Roswell; to promote
the planting of trees, grasses, flowers
and shrubs. We believe that If the
matter were taken up energetically
and pushed, and If some inducement
were offered beyond the satisfaction
of having beautiful plot of land sur
rounding the home, many more per-
sons could be persuaded to go about
beautifying their yards in a system
attic manner.
To this end the following plan will
be laid before the people of Roswell:
The Record will offer a prize for the
beautifying of yards. In what manner
this will be done has not yet been
determined, but it will be done so
that the man with the smallest plot
of land will be on an equality with
the man having a large plot, and the
man who is just starting to improve
on an equal basis with the man who
has been improving for years. The
object is to promote the growing of
grasses, trees and flowers, and to gen.
orally beautify the plot OF ground
about the home.
The Record believes that 1t will be
joined in this endeavor by both the
city and the Commercial Club, and
that number of our business men,
seeing the great good that may re-
suit from such a plan, will join with

migration into the Pecos Valley A
few weeks since it was announced in
these columns that they were to build
a railroad from Canyon City, Texas,
south, a distance of sixty-five miles.
Work is now we'll under way ON this
line and grading begun. With their
characteristic energy to push the
work, the Santa Fe Central will
reach the Valley in a few months at
the farthest, and bring to this city
and this valley that which is their
most imperative need-fuel and lum-
Der. We cannot too strongly empha-
size the appreciation of this commu-
nifty for the efforts the Tallmadge
brothers have put forth to bring about
a great awakening in the Pecos Val
ley.
Scarcely in the history of immigra-
ton has there ever been so much ac-
complished in so short a time.
Through the construction of rail
road to us from the West, our fondest
hopes will be realized, and we will
begin new era of prosperity.
President G. A. Richardson of the
Roswell Commercial Club, was inter
viewed in regard to the sale, and in
formed the Record that he had pre-
vious knowledge of the matter. Mr..
G. L. Tallmadge told Mr.. Richardson
to say to The Record that he had
something good in prospect for Ros-
well and the Pecos Valley. The sale
has been pending for some six months
and we are Informed that Judge Rich
ardson secured information for Mr..
Tallmadge which induced him to close
the deal. The TaHmadges will be in
Roswell in two or three days.

This morning The Record received
a dispatch from Denver announcing
