A representative of The Record
yesterday talked for some time with
Col. W. s. Hopewell, vice president
of the Santa Fe Central railway, who
was in the Valley Wednesday and
Thursday for the purpose of investi-
eating conditions here. Yesterday
morning he was taken by ]. A. Ora
ham, of the Commercial Club in an
automobile ride down the Valley to
Dexter and Hagerman, going through
the farms On this trip they saw
much of the fine farms of the Upper
Pecos Valley, although not in the
time of year when they are at their
best.
In speaking of what he saw, Col.
much pleased, not only with what he
saw, but with the indications for the
future He conceded that the Val
ley was capable of supporting vast
population, and would furnish much
business for a railroad connecting
the eastern and western parts of New
Mexico.

possibility of the early building of
the Santa Fe Central from Torrance
to Roswell, he said that he hardly
cared to make a statement for publ
cation at the present time. There
were, however, no engineering obsta-
cles in the way of building the line.
The grade would not exceed one per
1,n coid
nish many things badly needed here
in the Pecos Valley. There were
worlds of coal and lumber along the
line of the Santa Fe Central, and with
a short haul it could be placed in
Roswell very cheaply. Cheap fuel and
lumber were the two things most
needed in the Pecos Valley. On the
other hand, the Valley had agricultu-
raj products, such as alfalfa, fruit
and vegetables, which were needed
in Western New Mexico, where
good market for them would be
found
Within a very short time, General
Torrance and a party of capitalists
from the East would be in New Mex
leo, and Col. Hopewell said he inten-
-ded to bring them to Roswell and go
over the ground with them, and have
them investigate the situation pers-
onally. The line from Roswell to Tor
rance had been surveyed, and plats
filed in the government land Office.
While Col. Hopewen was very guard
ed in his remarks as to the early
building of the road to Roswell, 1t
was evident that he is an advocate
of the plan and believes it to be the
solution of the problem before the
Santa Fe Central.
the Territorial Democratic Central
Committee, and is consequently much
interested in political matters. He
is strongly in favor of joint statehood
and has long been an advocate of the
double statehood bill. He believes
that if the bill now pending is turned
down in the senate or should be re-
jected by the people of New Mexico
and Arizona, that it will be many
years before we viii see statehood
In any shape or form. The Colonel be-
1ieves. however, that the bin will be
passed by the senate in its present
form and be accepted by the people
of the Territories concerned.
When told that the people of the
Pecos Valley believed in and would
vote almost unanimously for joint
statehood, Col. Hopewell remarked

one-third of the gross receipts when
these exceeded 1000 francs, and moth

francs brings the total up to 5000

Labels on Opera Boxes.

One Oh the duties Of the ushers In the
Metropolitan Opera House, which the
ushers of other places Of amusement
are not called upon TO perform, Is to
see that the boxes in the Grand Tier
have the proper names of their lessees
affixed to them on the various nights
of the week. After every performance
the ushers go around from door to
door, taking out the names of the les
sees for that night and slipping into
the brass frame the name of the man
or woman who has the box for the
next performance. Thus on Sunday
and Saturday nights most of these
brass frames are without names, for
only few persons who are in the
subscription" class ever hold their
boxes on those "off nights"
When man or a woman owns box
on the parterre floor outright, as in the
case of the directors of the company,
their names are engraved on polished
brass plates that are never removed.

lance on such things to announce that
