HAS WALTER WELLMAN SUF-
FERED FATE OF ANDREi
From Record-Herald.

From Record-Herald.
Chicago, Sept. 2.-Is Walter Well
man today steering his huge airship
America onward toward the north
pole before a favoring southerly wind
or is he at his Spitzbergen headquar-
ters waiting for adverse gales from
the north to die away?
Is the leader of the Wellnlan-Rec-
ord-Herald expedition, with his three
Arctic Sea, hundred miles from the
pole, the America but a nodge-p -podge
of twisted steel and ripped rubber,
while he is preparing to use his Si-
berian dogs and transform the bal
loon voyage into a sledging expedi-
ton?
Or are WelIma1 and his mates at
this very moment anchored in mid
air directly at the north pole and en-
gagged in taking the first scientific
observations ever recorded at that
spot of the earth's surface, which for
SO many thousands of years had re-
manned unreached by man.
Any of these may constitute the
actual circumstances. Or, again, Well
man may be in a plight and undergo
ing experiences that battle the imagi-
nation by reason of the fact that moth
ing is known of conditions at the pole
and so little is positive as to the air
snip mode of polar exploration.
For eleven days there has been no
direct word from WeIlman. Whether
ne has succeeded in getting a sufi-
cie1tly favorable slant of wind to
make tae ascent and sail away to the
vast regions of eternal cold is prob
lematic. 1t is equally an open ques-
gen, where his balloon was inflated
and ready to sail on August 21. That
was the date of the last cable from
the explorer. which, coming via from
so, reached the Record-Herald the
night of August 25.
Wellman announced in that cable
that the America was holding the hy-
drogen well and that the motors and
machinery had been thoroughly test
ed and were working perfectly. A
calm was being awaited for the pur-
pose of swinging the ship compass
and making a correction trial over
Virgo Bay, after which the aerial yes
sci would be ready to sail north at "a
|Ssoment's notice. 1t was hoped by
MIN that 3e would sail that week. He
stated however, that he could get
away as late as September in case
the contrary winds continued.
Since then the only news of his
movements has come from Christiania
in cables of August 27 ard c8.

Ranch Sold for $4,000.

We learn that Captain ]. B. Gillett
formerly of Roswell, has bought Geo
Medley's Barrel Springs ranch and
cattle in jeff Davis county. The Stock
man says: This is good ranch, hav
ing been established twenty years
ago, and the cattle are one of the
best herds of Herefords in west Tex
as. 1t was an almost entirely cash
deal, and amounts to about SIS, 700,
and is one of the largest ranch deals
made in some time"

it brings some dirt TO the center OF
the road and thus keeps good crown
on the part most used. The main
thing done by the drag is to puddle
and compact the surface soil, thus
causing it to bake and harden when
drying, and this not only gives a good
road for travel, but also turns the
water better when it rains, and the
road will therefore dry quicker and
cut under travel much less as the pro-
cess is repeated.
Used While Road is Wet.
To get results the drag has to be
used while the road is wet and we
have thought that it does well here
as soon as rain has dried up
enough to give a. little dry soil in
places so that the dirt will not stick
too bad to the drag.
The drag ought to be aa excellent
tool for the Amarillo streets, but it
has to be used when the streets are
wet, so as to cause baking.

ASSISTANT ATTORNEY
GENERAL IN CAPITAL

From Albuquerque Citizen
Santa Fe, N. M, Sept 2.-Alford
Cooley, of Washington, d. c., first
assistant to Attorney General Bona
parte, spent part of yesterday in San
ia Fe. He came here for the purpose
of consulting with Governor Curry
United States Attorney W. H. H. Llew
ellyn and Ormsby McHarg and Pey'
ton Gorden, special assistants to At
torney General Bonapart, regarding
the land transactions and other Off
cia1 matters in New Mexico.
Mr. Cooley arrived here at noon on
Sunday via the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway, and left yesterday
morning for Denver, Colo, over the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad. While
here he was a guest of Messrs Nc
Harg and Gordon at their apartments
in ST. Vincent's sanitarium. He said
his present trip was mainly one OF
pleasure. However, he admitted that
it was official business that had bro't
him to Santa Fe.
Assistant Attorney General Cooley
was an early caller yesterday morning
upon Governor Curry and remained
in the executive office until a few min
utes before train time when he made
a hurried tour of inspection of the
first floor of the capitol building. He
was escorted to the railroad station
in a carriage by Governor Curry and
Major Lewellyn.

John T. Edwards, chief engineer OF
the Kansas City, Lawton & Pacific
railroad, VINO was here yesterday con-
ferri1g with several of the leading
citizens on the matter of getting a
railroad into Roswell, says that the
best route for a railroad from Ell Paso
to Oklahoma lies through Roswell,
and not through Carlsbad, as he had
originally supposed.
While in the city yesterday he was
shown the maps, elevations and de-
viations of the survey that has been
made from here to Ell Paso and of the
route that has been surveyed for the
Roswell Eastern railroad. He was also
shown Roswell's possibilities and re-
alities. When he had seen all these
things he said that he found Ros-
wells proposition better than he had
expected and better than he desired,
considering that he has gone SO far
with the Carlsbad proposition. He re-
luctantly admitted that Roswell is the
place for the railroad to head if it
comes to the Pecos Valley.
Mr.. Edwards returned to Carlsbad
last night. Negotiations are on be-
tween him and the Commercial Club
for further operations here.

THE MAN WITH THE CHIP.

He always had something to grumble
about,
Had this man with a chip on his
shoulder;
The world to the dogs was going, nc
doubt,
To the man with a cnip on his
shoulder
Nobody was honest, nobody was
square,
He found traps to do him were laid
everywhere;
Nobody he met with would deal with
him fair,
Thought the man with the chip on
mis- shoulder
He looked out for trouble as farmers
for rain,
The man with the chip on his
shoulder;
He searched every pleasure to find
hidden pain,
The man with a chip on mis-
shoulder.
The clouds were too dark or the sun
was too bright,
No matter wnat happened it never
was right;
When peace was prevailing he spoiled
for a fight,
The man with a chip on his
shoulder.
The deed might be right, but ne
thought motive wrong,
The man with a chip on his
shoulder.
He was sure right and honor were
bought for a song,
The man with a chip on his
shoulder.
He thinks he's the champion mankind
most needs,
That the world is dependent on him
and his deeds,
But hes the worst pest that society
breeds
The man with a chip on his
shoulder.

ROSWELL SHEEP ON THE
AMAN To ARIZO


The vanguard of the $4,000 sheep
being driven from Roswell, N. NJ, to
the Salt River valley, near Phoenix,
Ariz., passed across the Barelas bridge
yesterday, says the Albuquerque Nor
ming Journal of the 5th, in charge of
eight men. The body consisted of
1000 of the finest looking sneep that
have passed through Albuquerque for
some time
AT daybreak yesterday morning
the sheep began moving down the me
sa from the camp, three miles north
of the city, and about 10 O'Clock they
came down the road just south of the
city limits, and crossing the Santa Fe
tracks continued due west, and across
tine bridge.
large crowd of men, women and
children gathered along the road from
the terminus of South Third street
to the bridge to watch the huge body
of sheep go by. Quite number car
ried cameras and many pictures were
| taken of the moving mass of wool.
This morning another division of
about 5000 sheep will cross the Bar
elias bridge, keeping one day behind
the first body, and tomorrow morning
the remainder, about 5000, will cross
the bridge.
The sheep, after getting on the At
risco side of the river, take the road
leading southwest and follow it to
point near Rio Puerco. The caravan
of sheep is travelling at an average of
ten miles a day, but on bad days,
when the roads are muddy and rain
is threatening the rate is considera-
bly, lessened.

RAILWAY CLERKS TO WORK
FOR BETTER SERVIC

The Record learns that the mail
clerks on the Pecos Valley Lines
have taken up the matter of train
schedules on this road with the pos
tai department at Washington to see
if they cannot force the railroad com
pany to run it's trains through to Ros-
well, instead of stopping at Texico,
as they have been doing on the last
few excursion nights. The dummy
train from Amarillo on excursion
days does not bring the mail clerks,
and when they pull into Texico after
such a train has been run they usual
~ have to lie there from four to ten
hours waiting for another train to
come on to Roswell with the mail. 1t
is to be hoped their effort will be
successful

NUMBER I6I
STORY OF BEN HuR

4
The concluding attraction of the
church last night was attended by a
surprisingly big crowd. Fully as ma
ny were out as on the night before
when the large auditorium was pack
ed to hear Count Sobieski. The at
traction last night was 1.-The Ben Hnr
Entertainers, a1d it developed tnat
the people of Roswell were deeply in
terested in the story of the wonderful
Jew who is the leading character in
the book of that name
Never was the story better told
| than on this occasion. Robert E. Gra-
bel was the teller and to make it more
realistic, he was garbed in the dress
of the ancient Romans and stood in
tae door of his tent. Incidental to his
recitation, pictures illustrating his re-
! marks were thrown on a large can
vas and thus the imagination of the
audience was assisted in giving the
subject matter the proper setting and
the characters the proper appearance
The entire story of Ben Hlr was told
in remarkable short time and with
remarkable force by the reader, Mr..
Grabel.
Between scenes a delightful musi-
cal program was carried out by the
other members of the company. The
violiniste, Mary Elizabeth Pyle, of the
Conservatory of CINCINNATI, was ex-
cellent and Mrs Ethel Nav Beach So
prano, sang with great success.
Mrs. Grabel, the fourth member of
the company, is an electrician and
operates the picture machine.
The Ben Hur entertainers gave a
splendid miscellaneous program yes
terday afternoon at the assembly, the
attendance being large. They have
an open date tonight and arrange
ments have been made for them to
give another entertainment under the
auspices of the Baptist ladies tonight.

SPLIT LOG DRAG
BEING EFFECTIVE


The "splitIog'' drag, so called be-
cause the first drags of the kind were
made from logs of the proper size and
length, finds a warm supporter in A.

arillo Daily Panhandle Mr.. Leidigh
gives the following convincing proof
of the drags' work from actual exper-
fence there.

For two seasons We have used the
road drag on the most used roads on
the experimental farm. The use of
the drag will be kept up and extended
and we will use it while the ground
is just drying after rain.

the drag on account of the soil here.
