HANDLING Alfalfa,

Mr.. Editor:- There appeared in
Tuesdays Record an article announc-
ing that a number of the dealers in
alfalfa of Roswell and other towns
held a meeting in the Commercial
Club that day to form a combine to
better the conditions of handling al
falfa- They don't make it plain whose
condition it is to benefit 1t seemed
to have been a one-sided affair, as
they do 7ot mention the names of any
farmers that were at the meeting to
look after their side of the question.
So we are left to guess at the results.
It is rather strange that the middle
men should dictate to the producer
what they viii do with his property
when he should offer it for SALE The
principle of grading is the right one.
It suits me exactly. but the question
always arises who is to do the grad.
ing. Everything should be graded.

NEW REALTY FIRM
HAS BEEN LAUNCHED.

The G. A. Richardson Realty Com
pany is the name of a new firm that
has been launched on the sea of bust
ness in Roswell. AS indicated by its
name, the new firm will do a real es-
tate business, but it will operate il
different manner from most of the
real estate firms that are now doing
business here and nave il the pe.
The distinctive feature is that the G
A. Richardson firm will sell lands
that belong to are under the direct
control of the different members OF
the firm. The plan of the company is
to send a representative north and
east twice a month and sell to the
buyers lands in Old and New Mexico
and the Panhandle. Large bodies OF
land will be handled in this way aid
the big deals will be preferred.
The personnel of the company will
not be announced at present. Howev
er, it can be stated that several of the
strongest men of Roswell, financially
and some of the towns most substan
tial citizens are to be its principal
stockholders. R. T. Burge will be the
manager. Until the new Sparks build
ing is completed, the company's of
fee will be in the Texas Block.

BRIDE AND GROOM
INDICTED FOR MURDER.

Clinton, Ill, Aug. 2.-The garnd jul
ry which has been Investigating into
the death of Mrs. Pet Magill, the first
wife of Fred Magill who with his sec
ond wife is in Jail here having been
brought back from California to an
swer to the charge of having caused
the death CT Mrs. Pet Magin, today
returned an indictment against Magin
and one against Mrs. Fay Graham
Magin The two indictments are ex-
actly alike, each containing six dis
tinct counts.
The indictments charge: That Mrs,
Pet Magill was murdered by the ad-
ministration of strychnile poison;
that the murder was done by arsenic !;
that she was smothered with bed
quilt; that she was strangled to death
by chloroform; that she committed
suicide as result of conspiracy and
agreement of defendants, and that her
death was caused by defendants by
some means unknown to the grand
jury. Magill and his bride of -four
weeks were in the crowded court
room when the indictments against
them were returned.

of his goods. In this country the far
mer comes to town with a load of
oats, wheat, alfalfa, corn butter and
eggs or any other farm product, he
interviews the merchant and asks
him what he is paying for whatever
he may have. Finally a deal is made.
Then naturally the farmer needs food
and clothing for his family at home.
Again he has to ask the merchant
how many pounds of sugar and cof-
fee Or how many yards of calico for
a dollar. Again he names the price.
So he fixes the price on the farmers
property as well as his own.
The meeting last Tuesday naturally
was the result of this system being
allowed to go on. What is the matter
with the farmers handling their own
alfalfa and dispensing with the mid
die men? It is done in many places
and can be done here. Let the farm
ers' association take hold and put in
scales and do their own weighing. The
city council was asked some time ago
to put in a city scale. They, too, seem
to ignore the farmer. Let the farmers
put one in themselves. This grading
of alfalfa as stated in the Record will
lead to endless discussion. Pea green
is No. 1, 10 per cent white or bleach
ed is No 2, badly discoloured is No.
8 | should like to ask some one if
No. / is $1,000 per ton, what will be
the price of No. and No. 3. Is it not
possible that a car or cars of No 2
be loaded here and land in Texas as
No. 1? Then you can bale fine pea
green alfalfa and pile it up in the
field for perhaps a week, as cars can
not be had, and naturally it gets
white on the outside while the inside
is as fine as you could wish.
Again these colors selected will put
a premium on breaking the Sabbath
day, as it often happens that you cut
on Friday, shower or cloudy Satur-
day follows, Sunday it clears up and
a bright hot su1 makes it pretty
white-good feed, but lost color. Then
the trouble of grading comes in. If the
dealers want to be fair, let some one
be appointed to do the grading that
will be satisfactory to the farmers.

Chicago, Aug. "A system of peon

War on the supposed system oi
Greek peonage was commenced some
time ago by government officials, who
have collected evidence said to il
volve several prominent Greek citi
zens of Chicago. Among them are the
proprietors of large shoe shining par

and keep them here in condition OF
practical slavery. All the evidence in
the case has been compiled by Dis
trict Attorney Sims, with the aid OF
the Bureau of immigration at Wash

federal grand jury is likely to result
in a large number of indictments.
