Prosperity Of Resweli.
Mr., Ullery states that the city of
Roswell in particular and Chaves
County and the Pecos Valley In gen.
eral are very prospercn-. that bust
n7ss ~ all lines Is ve' sood; that
crop prospects are OF the best ana
that livestock is in the pink of condi.
tion; the ranges are good and there Is
plenty of water for cattle, sheep,
goats and horses, OF which animals
there are many thousands in the sec.
tons tributary to Roswell and the
other towns Of the Pecos River.
1.-THE improvement in building and
In the streets of the county seat of
Chaves is very gratifying" said Mr..
Ullery. 1.-TWO large hotels are now In
course of construction; they are much
needed and, In my opinion, will prove
paying investment. The securing
plant in our city Is kept busy with
the wool now coming In and Roswell
Is becoming one of the large wool
shipping centers In the Southwest. 1t
is today the largest of the kind in
southern New Mexico and is rapidly
approaching and overtaking the vol
ume of wool handled in Amarillo and
other towns farther east

am sure that 1t will do not only the
Institute and our section, but the Ter

Santa Fe who are always helping our

I have noticed several Santa Fe and
Taos boys among the cadets at the
Institute and am told they are among
those who are making good records"
Successful Agriculture.
"I think that the settlements which
have been made during the past
twelve months in Roosevelt and east
ern Chaves Counties will flourish and
that agriculture will be successfully
carried on there. Five years ago
hardly believed that this could be pos
sible, but the success attending agrl'
cultural experiments by hundreds of
settlers and the homestead entrymen
in the eastern part of Chaves and In
Roosevelt Counties along the Pecos
Valley and Northeastern Railway and
along the Eastern Railway Of New
Mexico have compelled me to change
my opinion and made me believe that
the sections named will in a few years
contain hundreds and hundreds and
probably thousands of we'll to do farm.
ers and husbandmen The crops that
we're successfully raised last year and
that have been put In this year are
corn, milo maize, kafflr corn and vege-
tables. This year, they are expert
menting with wheat, but as this is
still In an experimental stage, can
not say anything definite upon 1t.
Many homestead entries are being
made by a good class of people who
have commenced to put in crops and
are fencing their lands. New towns
along the line of the two railroads in
Chaves County and in Roosevelt Coun-
