Base ball and athletic sports took
the time in the afternoon. The attend
ance was very good, the grand stand be-
ing crowded to its extent. The admit
tances fees at twenty-five cents amount
ed to nearly $3.50. The base ball was
punk. And it was not the fault of the
Pembina nine or of the crowd. The
Neche boys, who have fine record for
previons games this season, evidently
thought the Fourth ought to be cele-
brated as holiday. The total score
was 3 to II in favor of Pembina in sew.

players remarked, there was nobody to

After supper very large proportion
ofthe visitors remained in town to take
in the entertainment at the hall and the
hall was crowded to the doors with
people who were curious to know
"What Became of Parker" Quite a
number of people had to leave because
they were unable to even get standing
room. The audience, to Judge from the
frequent bursts of ofapplause were highly
pleased with the performance. The pro-
ceeds were about s136 and there were
comparatively few resident citizens pre-
sent as most had seen the play previour-
ly.
After the play came the fire works at
the mouth of the Pembina river. While
not as extensive and elaborate as the
committee had expected, they served to
fill in pleasant hour on a pleasant eve-
ming. 1t might be we'll to explain that
the factory from which the fire works
were ordered burned down just short
time before the Fourth and the order
had to be replaced at a very late date.

very fond of fruit, but they ate lot of
ice cream and sandwiches.
Among the well patronized attractions
of the day was the bowery dance in the
grove under the management Of A. L,

The street decorations were quite
elaborate and flags and bunting were to
be found at almost every house in the
city. Some of the stores had very. fine
patriotic window displays.

OBSERVED.
The Parade a Grand Success
-Neche Ball Team Puts Up
Poor Game Indians Amused
the Large Crowds.

| eue HioSt SUCCESSFUL III the history OF the
city. Everybody in town helped. That
was perhaps the secret. Pembina
was proud of its visitors. No section of
the United States could turn out better
behaved, better dressed, better looking
lot Of people that came to help us cele-
brate. Prosperity was apparent in their
faces, in their dress, in the very buggies
and carriages that lined the streets, Not
an arrest, not an accident. Nobody
drunk or: disorderly. Just a happy,
good-natured crowd intent on enjoyment
of the day.
The program Of the morning was
changed SO that the parade was made
after the Grafton in the grove instead of
earlier in the day, fo1 two reasons, the
parade was SO extensive and the prepara-
tions SO extensive that If it had started
first it would have necessarily have been
delayed unit the time advertised for
the exercises in the grove; and for the
further reason that it was so great and
fine that later it would be seen by a
larger number of people.
At 1890 the Pembina Band marched
to the grove in South Pembina and the
crowd listened to the reading of the
Declaration of independence by Miss
Vida McCafery and an eloquent oration
by Judge E. w. Conmy.
AT II 80 the parade was formed and
marched through the streets. This was
in many respect the feature of the day.
Not often does town the size of Penn
bina turn out SO many and SO finea lot of
floats and decorated rigs. We sincerely
regret that we cannot possibly at this late
hour do more than just enumerate;
where so many deserve more COM
plete description.
The Pembina Band some thirty strong
headed the parade while the :" "Iayseed
Band" were farther down the line and
showed the difference between good
music and the opposite from the same
instruments. .;gs
Just in passing we will say that the
Band certainly did themselves proud in
their music all day and the visitors gave
them many compliments on their appear
ance and their music. (. II

Pays Neat Tribute to People of
Roosevelt Section Where He
Has Been.

New Mexican, January 4.
Associate Justice Edward A. Mann
was met this afternoon by a represen-
tative of the New Mexican on his
way to the chambers of the Supreme
court of the Territory. Upon being
asked the news and what was going
on in Southeastern New Mexico,
Judge Mann said:
81 have just returned from Roswell
where 1 held an adjourned term of
court for Judge Pope, and I want to
say that 1 was delighted with Roswell
and the Pecos Valley generally so far
as l saw it. The people over there
are certainly a hospitab1e, friendly
lot l was a stranger and they took
me in the true sense of the word.
The Pecos Valley is settling rapidly
with the very best class of people and
is bound to become in the near future
a veritable garden.
Compliments Roswell.
Roswell is a progressive, uptodate
city with class of business men who
make town, hustlers, everyone and
loyal to the town and Valley.
zone of the things that impressed
me most was the New Mexico Mill
tary Institute. l am only sorry that
every man in New Mexico has not the
opportunity of seeing this school
and the remarkable work being done
there by Col Wilson and his able
corps of instructors. 1 had the pleas
ure of witnessing a drill on the pa
manly, soldierly body of boys cannot
be found anywhere than the Roswell
cadets. The drill included the work
ing up process, a beautiful set of ex-
ercises for the development of mus
cles, recently introduced. 1 was told
by the superintendent that the grad
yates of the New Mexico Military In
stitute are admitted to West Point
without examination (mentaD, which
shows the standing of the school
throughout the country Boys are be-
ing sent there from distant states,
north and east, which is another ev-
idence of the good reputation of the
institution Every New Mexican has
inst cause to be proud of the Roswell
school, and 1 hope that it will be In
creased in capacity so that more OF
| our boys may receive the benefit.

Cleared by Saturday

The first experiment of carrvine
the mails by automobile from here
to Torrance resulted in failure. B. G.
Campbell, the driver of the car that
left here yesterday, returned at one
O'Clock today with the mail he took
out yesterday. He got within thirty
one miles of Torrance, when he was
stopped by the snow. The two big
Buick automobiles that left here on
Monday driven by J. w Stockard
and Charley Sharpe, 20 make the
hrst trip this way with mail from
torrance, have not yet reached Tor
rance, being stalled by the snow.
They are now at Wire Lake. The
snow is from one to three feet deep.
Manager Stockard has men and five
teams at work clearing away the
snow and cutting out a road, so that
the trip may soon be made through
to Torrance.
Manager Stockard and Mr.. Sharpe
remained at Wire Lake to superin-
tend the work of clearing a road
huWIu "A. WIHIGT, OI SANTA re,
who left here Monday as a passenger
for Torrance, returned today with
the driver, B. G.. Campbell. He says
the experience was an unhappy one
for him, remaining three days and
nights on the snow blocked plains.
He stopped at Wire Lake with Man
ager Stockard, who did all possible
for his comfort, furnishing plenty of
bedding fire and food. He will now
go to Santa Fe by train
Mr. Campbell asked the Record to
say that Mr.. Stockard did every
thing in his power to get through,
but it was a case of insurmountable
snow blockade.

James w. Mullins III.

The Record is in receipt of let
ter from James w. Mullins, now of
Folsom, who formerly lived in Ros-
we'll and has many friends here. The
letter stated that he was suffering
from stroke of paralysis in the
right side, caused by exposure to the
weather. He is able only to use his
right hand. but is better and slowly
improving. He is figuring on putting
in newspaper at Folsom when his
health permits. Mr.. Mullins is an old
hand at the newspaper proposition
and would get out a good sheet. His
friends in Roswell hope he may soon
regain his health.
