The board of City Aldermen met
last night at the Office of City Clerk
Beck. Mayor Stockard was in the
chair and the following members were
present, Wniteman, Church, Johnson,
Stone, Wyllys, Wiseley, Burns
Alderman Burns of the finance com
mittee had no report.
Alderman Wiseley of the Streets
and Alleys Committee reported that
he had some suggestions to offer in
regard to running grades on the diff
ferent streets. This must be done
to have the proper drainage. His idea
was to have the City Engineer draw
a map or chart. He had interviewed
Dills in regard to the matter, but he
being a witness in the murder trial
that is now in progress was unable
to attend to the business at present.
1t was necessary to have boxes at
crossings. The grading of the streets
must be raised. He would have no
permanent report to make in the
matter until definite action had been
taken by the Engineer Alderman
Wyllys stated that his ideas in the
matter coincided with Mr.. Wiseley.
Had spoken to the Engineer of the
thic Dnint
the City Engineer appeared and the
Mayor told him he was Just in time"
He explained tnat his ideas were the
same as Wiseley and Wyllys and that
he had spoken to Mr.. Pinson about
the matter and would give him
grades as soon as he was ready to
do the work. If he ran grades be-
begin the stakes would be knocked
down in the bitches by horses.
had no report.
Alderman Church thought that it
cement walks down.
Burns of the Sanitary Committee
had no report.
Wyilys of the Water and Lights
Committee had no report only that he
thought that both sprinklers should
run as much as possible. While there
was no wind the dust was not so bad,
but when the wind blew as it did
several days ago the dust was fright
full. Alderman Church thought that
all the sprinkling possible should be
done.
The special Committee on the Fire
Department was ordered to secure a
new hose cart for the department and
also to get temporary reel. Alder
man Wniteman made motion and
said that the hose wagon that is now
in use is practically worthless. The
vote was taken on buying wagon
that would cost $3.50 and all voted
-.Yes. The Mayor wanted a wagon
that would be good and strong and to
nay more if 1t was necessary.
Alderman Stone had no report from
the Poor and Pauper Committee

Roswell Commercial Club. appeared

day: IF Commissioner Wolf of Cal

Substantial Business Men.

The HOME OIL COMPANY was
organized here this morning, and ap-

GAO acres of the best lands in the oil
belt, east of Roswell, near the pros
pect well. where oil was struck yes
terday This land stretches straight
across the entire belt, and is consid-
cred very valuable, since it certain
that if oil in paying quantity is
found in the present experimental al
well it will be found likewise on the
land of this company
If the discovery pans out as ex-
pected. the company will Immediate
ly build a pipe line from the wells
to Roswell. Arrangements will also
be made to market the oil. The COM

| Representatives of Texas Stock Rails
ers Appear Before Committee.
! Washington, June 9.-The beef in
spection hearing before the House
Committee on AgricultuAe was be-
gun today by listening to Represen-
tative Garner of Texas, who made a
plea for speedy action.
S. S. Cowan, of Fort Worth, attor-
ney for the Texas Cattle Raisers' AS
sociation, was next heard. He declar-
ed that while the cattle raisers had
their difficulties with the packers anu
had not received the best treatment
from them, yet in this question the
interests of the cattle raisers and
the packers were identical; if there
was additional expense some one
would have to pay it, and the man
who can name the price of the thing
he sells can put the additional eX
pense where he pleases He believed
that the packers would put the eX-
pense on the stock raiserS. He read
tie, president of the Cattle Raisers'
Association of Texas: ttThe present
agitation has seriously depressed the
cattle business. The universal i'm
preston is that cattle values will suf
fer from 81 to $5 per head decline
Another telegram from Murdo Mac
Kenzie, manager of the second larg-
est cattle ranch in America, located
in Colorado estimated that the fal
in price would be 81 per hundred.
Being asked by Representative Adj
ans of Wisconsin, if the packers did
not fix the price paid for cattle. Cow
an said that this was impossible under
ordinary conditions: neither could
the cattle raisers by combination fix
prices. The reason was, he said, that
when cattle got into marketable con
dition they must be sold.
Representative Haugen, of Iowa
asked Cowan if he had read the Pre-
sident's message which estimates the
cost of inspection at eight cents per
head. But we don't want to pay it
that is our reason" replied Cowan
but rather than do without the law
we would be glad to levy the cost on
the cattIemen.''
Washington. June 9.-Representa-

of the Club to make plea to the
council for City Parks. He wanted
the parks improved and hadt been
working to tnat end for ten years.
ed about eight years ago to create
system of city parks for Roswell. The
company was a corporation and bot
Riverside Park, Lea Park and the
Driving Park west of Roswell. The
late H. K Thurber, of New York,
who formerly owned vast ranch inter
ests in New Mexico was deeply inter-
ested in the proposition of having
parks here and was stock holder in
the corporation. This property was
transferred to the city of Roswell
gratis by the company on the express
condition that the property be improv
ed and used for City Parks. The city
had not fulfilled its part of the con-
tract, as little improvements had been
made. There was only one public
breathing spot in the city limits now
and that was the court house plaza.
Mr. Richardson thought that it
would not be long until the public
would be driven out of the court
house plaza, on account of contem-
last chance to have city park in
the limits of the city 1t was his opin-
ion that the Riverside park should
be Immediately improved. He stood
ready to lend helping hand person
ally in the matter, as he was deeply
interested. Later, he thought that the
park system could be extended.
Alderman Wyllys made a PROPOSE
ton to dispose of twenty lots that
ne owned in blocks Is and IA to the
city at one hundred dollars per lot
and then donate 5000. These lots are
adjoining the present Riverside park.
There was a general discussion of
the matter by members of the coun-
Gil and the general opinion prevailed
that something ought to be done. 1t
was referred to the Park Commits
sion.

was presented by Will Allen, asking

WAYNE COUNTY FARMERS DIS
POSE OF STOCK IN
RICHMOND.
BIG PACKING HOUSES HIT
Shipment of Meat From Chicago to
This City About Half as Large
AS Formerly.

There is perhaps no community Its
size in America where as much meat
is consumed as in Richmond and its
vicinity and there is, perhaps, no
community in the country where the
big meat packing concerns, like Ar
mour's and Swift's, do as little bus
iness. Nearly all the meat eaten by
Richmond and Wayne County people
is from stock raised by Wayne
County farmers.
Several years ago this condition of
affairs did not exist and nearly all
the meat supplied to local markets
was shipped into this city from Chi
cago and the big packing houses in
hat city took many thousand dollars
from Richmond and Wayne County
people.
When the Richmond Abbatoir Co.
first started up it was predicted that
the so called "meat trust' would
loose no time in driving the concern
out of the business but the predic-
tons were groundless and that firm
ia now doing a fourishing business.
In former days when the stock rails
ers in the county wished to dispose
of their cattle, hogs and sheep they
drove their herds to the railroad
stock yards and shipped them to the
Chicago market. They have found
that the stock they raise is demand
ed for home consumption and the
~pe.sentage that is shipped to for
eign markets is about twice as small
as it was three years ago.
