He stated that the Andrews barrel
was now believed to be empty. The
money with which he promised to
build the railroad to Roswell had van
ished. Andrews only hope now was
the Standard Oil Co. for which
he had once been a lobbyist might
ton as delegate from New Mexico.
As for the railroad from Torrance to
Roswell, it would be built. The open
ing of an automobile by Mayor Stock
ard of Roswell had shown that it
would pay, and the town would not
have to depend upon Andrews to
build the railroad. Passengers now
have to telegraph ahead to secure
seats in the automobiles that ply be-
tween Torrance and Roswell. The sit
uation calls for a railroad, so that
people need not go around by Quebec
or south by the City of Mexico to
reach the interior of the Territory
from the Pecos Valley, and the men
who established the automobile line
will not stop until the railroad is
built. George l.. WHY'S at one point

audience than the presence of ladies'.

Larrazolo Declares Himself.
Upon being introduced by Chair
man Burrus, Mr.. Larrazolo was re-
ceived with hearty applause. He be-
gan by expressing his appreciation of
the presence of the ladies', and after
an eloquent p~erOration lauding our
government and the free and liberal
institutions which made this country
great,-regardless of constitutional
provisions and overlooking statutory
enactments, he found the strongest
guarantee for the preservation of this
government in the loyalty of the wo-
men to their country, to the good, |
