The announcement was given out
today by Secretary ]. A. Graham of
the Roswell Commercial Club that
Roswell is to have a $4,000 alfalfa
meal factory, and that work on the
buildings will commence in the near
Auture. This announcement is the re-
suit of the recent trip of the Clubs
secretary to Kansas City. where he
closed a deal with J. A. Brubaker, a
capitalist and grain broker of that
city.
Mr.. Brubaker will be the head of
the big concern. Fifteen acres of land
has been purchased one and a half
miles southeast of town, adjoining
the property of NJ. L. Pierce. The
main building will be three story
Structure, probably of brick.
s The capacity of the factory on the
start will be seventy-five tons per
day. The grinding will be done upon
the first floor, and the meal will be
blown by a system of fans to the
third floor. The alfalfa meal will then
be lowered through tubes to the first
floor, where it will fall into bags rea-
Sdy for market. In the descent by a
system of modern machinery it will
be mixed with the other ingredients
that go to make this feed, including
Kafir corn. This alfalfa meal is claim
ed to be the cheapest feed for stock
on the market.
A demonstrative farm will be es
tablished on the fifteen acres to show
by actual tests that with this feed
there is a saving of 25 to 80 per cent
This feed is known as a balanced
ration" The company expects to
!, build a thousand-ton warehouse. II

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 30.-Ac-
cording to special order the House
today took up the Hepburn railroad
rate BILL Mr.. Hepburn observed that
while no time had been set to close
the debate, it had been his idea that
the vote might be taken on the bill
one week from today. The house tax
ing up the bill in committee of the
whole, Vreeland, of New York, was
selected to preside over the debate.
Townsend of Michigan made the
opening address, occupying more than
an hour, calculating practically every
phase of the rate-malling problem
and describing in detail the terms of
the Hepburn bill. Regarding the ques
tion as one of the most important ev
er brought before congress, Townsend
advocated the bill as a correct rene
dy for the evils which exist, and pre-
dicted that notwithstanding the pro-
test of the railroads, greater prosper
ity would come to them under its pro-
visions than otherwise. He called at
tention to the tremendous strides the
past year in the transportation busi-
| ness, in the face of the legislation
which the last congress initiated. The
| bill, he said, was the verv least the
people would accept. In brief it at
| tempts to place under the supervis-
| ion of the Interstate Commerce Com
| mission every form Of interstate and
| foreign commerce, and all instrumen-
talities of commerce and transporta-
| tion.
| When Townsend concluded, Ad-
ans, of Georgia, followed in support
| of the bill. He gave great credit to
| President Roosevelt for his course
on rate control and referred to him
as the ..ablest, most honest and fear
less Republican President we ever
had" He said the principles of the
bill were embodied in the Democratic
| platform, but that the Democrats
were glad to accept such powerful
aid as the Republican President had
| given them.

{" Terrible to Behold, stood Mrs. Dumbarton.'

there could be little doubt regarding the
perpetrator of the crime, yet Mackworth,
knowing from experience the POSSIBLE
ties which frequently developed them
selves, the unexpected turns that cases
assumed, resolved to search for clews
out of doors as we'll as within.
A couple of hours more were passed
in the company of that grim presence
before the birds in the garden began
to stir themselves, chirruping weirdly IN
the solemn silence of dawn-before the
pale, green light in the east dissolved
into expanding hues of pink and gold,
and the sun rose upon drowsy world.
Then Mackworth set to work.
Passing through the garden, he care
fully examined the road to right and
left for considerable distances, now TAX
ing the footpath to one side and again
at the other, subsequently searching the
center of the thoroughfare.
His 1abors, however, resulted in moth
ing more than the finding of a man S
glove, apparently new, this having been
discovered on the pathway at the opposite
side and almost fronting Olive Dunl-
barton's house. Mackworth regarded il
with little interest, considering that if not
belonging to the deceased, it was prob
ably dropped by some individual in &c
way connected with the crime.
The glove was, however, placed with
the articles found upon David Dunbar
ton, and before the world of London was
yet astir Inspector Mackworth was on
his way to make inquiries concerning
the deceased at the address copied from
the envelope found upon his person.
