The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1906-06-22

railroads for Roswell is better thar
ever, and it seems as if our effort.
will be successful.
Below are enumerated a few OF
the many things accomplished during
the past year by this Club.
The s25.OOO,0O Sisters Hospital
which adorns South Main street is
now furnished and receiving patients
The good roads movement has
been taken up and the Club sent a
committee before the County Com
missioners asking to have the Sec
n street road graded through the
a good. well drained driveway in
place of the muddy roads we former
ly had.
The Acme Cement Plant. which is
now being put in on the railroad
across the river, will make about
140 tons of cement every "a hours.
h two tent cities which are To-
Gated outside of limits of the
city to take care of those who come
here suffering from tuberculosis.
The Club has taken up the matter
of growing sugar beets in his Val
ley, furnishing the farmers with
seeds for test planting. From those
planted last year the average per
cent of sugar in all beets grown and
tested was 10 per CEN sugar. which
is an exceptionally large yield. This
year we have again given out sugar
beet seed for more tests, and we
hope to AVE a large sugar beet fac
tory in operation by next year.
A $4,000 alfalfa meal mill and fac
tory will be in operation by the
spring of 1907. The and a been
purchased, the company organized,
and would have beer in operation

were completed too late.
More h $3.50. 900 has been saw
ed the farmers of Chaves county
this yea by the strict enforcement
of the spraying law. The Club got
behind the enforcement of this law.
The result was the appointment of
a County Horticultural Board, and
this board has seen that each and
every orchard in Chaves county has
been sprayed. At the present time
very few worms can be found in n
orchard, whereas last year at this
time h worms had control of the
majority of them.
More than 5000 personal letters
have been written o persons seeking
information about our city and vicin-
ity, and $500 descriptive booklets
have been mailed since last June. At
different times the volume of cores

Secretary had to employ a s~tenogra-
| pher, which he did at his own ex-
pense.
Many other important things could
be mentioned, besides the thousands
of small ones, done by this Club for
the upbuilding of our city.
The Roswell Commercial Club is
known far and wide as a successful.
progressive organization, of which
| any community might be proud, and
well they deserve it.
Now, in conclusion, let US put our
| shoulders to the wheel and push for
ward to a $4,000 population mark.
Let us adhere to our past united eff
forts: let us have no division of int
erests, no petty jealousies, but let
us work for Roswell a city of 25 200
people, the largest city of New Mex
leo. We have the soil, water, eli
mate, and all the natural resources
and all we meet is 0 people.
Let US go after them and Roswell
will soon nave passed the $4,000
mark. II is impossible for all the
members of this Club TO know of the
thousand and one things one by it
the same as it is impossible for 9th
ers to know how many pounds oil
sugar or coffee the grocer sells, but
the results show he has done it. Sc
it is with the business of this Club
