COUNT MARTINI DELEGATE
TO ESPERANTO CONGRESS

Count L. Martini-Mancini, teacher
of languages at the New Mexico Mill
tary Institute, has received word of
his appointment as delegate to the
Worlds Congress of Esperantists,
which will be held in Cambridge, Eng
land, in the month of August. The
appointment comes from the Esper-
anto Society of America, of which
Count Martini is a member. AS many
readers know, Esperanto is the new
language which it is hoped may be
made universal for commercial com
mu1ications and other international
purposes. 1t is composed of words
in varying forms common to nearly
all languages, Latin which runs thru
nearly all European languages, except
Russian, being a large constituent
of the new tongue. The words being
already familiar to educated people
who know their owl language, the
requirement of facility in the use
of Esperanto is very largely a study
of it's grammar, which is the only re-
ally scientific grammar any scholar
has ever produced. There are no ex-
ceptions to it's rules.
Count Martini will attend the con
vention, as ne had already planned
a three months summer trip through
England, France and his old home
Italy.

1t was one of the best of many IN
teresting talks given before this bo-

wonderful grasp of the subject and 4

the subject matter in a comprehe1-
sive form. Mrs. Percy Evans was
the hostess for the day.

W. F. English, of Elida, deputy
sheriff of Roosevelt county, came in
on the automobile this morning, hav-

brother-in-law, Henry Stoltz, formerly
of Roswell, and was being held in
the Roosevelt county Jail at Portales,
pending an appeal to the supreme
court, when he escaped about three
weeks ago.
Deputy English was put on the
case two weeks ago by Sheriff Joe
Lang, of Roosevelt county. He decid-
ed that since Boykin had taken his
horse from Portales at the time of
his escape, he was probably trying
Roswell, went to Torrance over the
auto route and began to search the
country around Carrizozo. few
days ago, while out in a buggy with
John Adams, of Carrizozo, he stun
bled onto his man.
The two men in the buggy found
BOykil with an old man driving down
the road and leading other horses.
They did not recognize Boykin at a
distance, but when the two suddenly
disappeared, the officers decided to
investigate. They found that the old
man and ais companion had gone in
in a dugout The old man came out
with cooked Winchester, but lowered
his gun when he found the visitors
meant no harm. He told the search
ers the other man was named John
Son. But he knew no better at that
time. Adams and English separated
and came upon the dugout from op
posite sides. They saw Boykin at tho
same time and both threw down thei1
guns upon him. He surrendered with
out even pulling his gun. He was well

WHAT BALLARD SAW

IN OLD SANTA FE.
The bill to take the appointment of
district attorneys from the hands of
the governor is eclipsing all other
questions in Santa Fe., and especially
in the legislative circles, say. says Col
Chas L. Ballard, who returned yester
day from a weeks stay in the terri
ment to a reporter for the Record to-
day and continuing on this line of thot
said: 'The fight on the district attor-
ney bill is a fight ol the governor
1t is a fight to show that Governor
Hagerman is not the whole power in
the Territory of New Mexico and con-
sequently both sides are deeply inter-
ested in the outcome. Every other
question is being forced to the rear
while this one is up for discussion.
As l see it, the outcome will be that
a compromise will be effected and
then the legislature will settle down to
work and probably do much good
Soloma7 Luna, probably the strongest
man in the Territory, has arrived, and
as he is a peace-maker. and strong
one. he will no doubt bring about a
compromise"

Colonel Ballard said.

ty in the Pecos Valley viii not be

DISTRIBUTION OF CARS
CAUSES A LAW SUIT.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 30.-That the
recent order of the OHIO Railroad
Commission regarding the general dis
tribution of all freight cars, whether
the property of the railroads or not,
was illegal and unconstitutional, is
the contention of the Massillon Coal
Mining Company in suit filed III
the Federal Court today. The Wheel
ing & Lake Erie railroad is a party
to the suit, because its lines and
cars are those to which the order was
directed il so far as it affected the
Massillo7 Coal Mining Co.

had not fulfilled their part of the con-
tract in the specified time.
Parker Earle asked the question,
Why not lay the tiling in the ditch
and overcome the small difficulties in
the way. He said that he was infor-
med there were only three sewers to
pass through the tiling. He declared
that it was the services of the engi-
neers that had caused the trouble and
gotten the parties in the bad fix"
He said he was not willing to co1cede
the point that the tiling could not be
used.
At this juncture Mr.. Robinson made
n speech declaring that the fight as
pany was not german to this meet
ing and submitted the following mo
tiol, after admitting that the Ho1do
Company should be paid:
Resolved; That it is the best juds
ment of the Council that the Mayor
appoint an executive committee OF
three from the members of the coun-
Gil, who shall be charged with the
duty of looking after all matters con
nected with the ditch question, said
body to hold authority until the spring
1908 election, and being empowered
to act with the approval of the coun-
Gil, taking such steps as may appear
necessary for the best interests of the
people"
Mr.. Bell said that the contract be
tween the ditch people and the Hon
do Stone Company YVES nothing to the
city. He said it was ''up to- the two
parties to the contract for that. He
said that the ditch company had vic
lated it's contract with the city by fai
ing to have the tiling done within the
time set and by failing to select al
engineer who would properly advise
them as to what course to pursue il
claimed, the ditch people had forfeit
ed their rights in the contract. With
that, he seconded the motion to pass
the Robinson resolution. By suspen
sion of the rules, the resolution was
adopted by the unanimous vote oi
those present.
Mayor Stockard appointed Messrs
Robinson, Wyllys and Wiseley to ac
on this committee and suggested thai
the ditch people appoint a committee
to act with it jointly.
Considerable feeling was worked
up in the discussion. Messrs. White
Slaughter and Veal, of the ditch com
pany, stated that while it was the
ditcn people who entered into the col
tract with the Hondo Company, it wa
| in reality both the city and ditch-owE
ers who were a party to it, for it ha.
been understood, verbally that the
ditch company would make the con
tract because it was thought that the.
could drive a better bargain with TIN
tile makers than the city, publi
corporation. Mr.. Slaughter said tina
while the ditch owners were homo
bound and legally bound to pay tn
Hondo Company for its work, The cit,
was honor bound and bound by tn
verbal understanding to refund it:
part of the expense. He said tia
for this reason the city should g

time. believe that the legislators
are of disposition to give the people
of the Pecos Valley whak they want,
especially when it is a matter entire
ly within the Pecos Valley and not
affecting in any way the other coun-
ties of the Territory. 1 don't believs
the present legislaturewin force any
such change on the Pecos Valley
when it is not desired Artesia never
did have any show of getting new
county. The legislators listened to
their appeal because, in fairness, they
wanted to hear both sides of the que
stion. When they heard both sides
of the proposition, they were not long
in making up their minds. And their
findings was in accordance with the
wishes of the great majority of the

both departments to be more conser-
vative. AS l understand it, the Ma
tiolal Congress has appropriated a
sum sufficient to take care of all the
extra employees in both houses of the
New Mexico legislature and this will
be enough to satisfy all concerned. In
addition to this, l might add that
there is much talk of cutting down
salaries of county officials in the Ter

to accomplish that end, up to the time

A PROTEST AGAINST

Editor Roswell Record A tax
payers petition has been forwarded
to tele 37th Legislative Assembly from
this precinct mo. y protesting ag-
ainst any legislation that would seq
regate this precinct from Chayes
county. The boomers of the proposed
Artesia county failed to secure so
much as a single signature to their
petition in tnis precinct. We are
unanimous here against new county
schemes that would change the boun-
dary lines of this county. The reason
is obvious to every taxpayer. Argu-

H. P. Stevens, 2. T. White and R.
J. Owen, promoters of the proposed
Kansas City and Ei Paso Short Line
railroad, arrived in the city this NOR
ming, joining A. Courchesne, another
promoter who came in yesterday. Ac-
companying them was H. d. Slater,
editor and principal owner of the FL
Paso Herald. The party has Travelled
over one of the proposed routes OF
the road and will return home by
another. They have spent two nights
and a day in Carlsbad, attending
meetings with the business men there
to talk over the proposed railroad.
They traversed the Pecos Valley and
came to Roswell to see the resources
of the country and to talk with it's
business men and citizens.
Editor Slater was spokesman for
the party, and to a Record reporter
this afternoon said:
1--WE have ridden through the farm
ing country east of Roswell and have
seen the development down the val
ley, and we are simply astounded at

that has been done. We are surpris-
ed beyond measure at the beauty and
wealth of Roswell and surrounding
country. We see here busy little ci-
ty with three times the cement side
walks of Ell Paso itself. To say that
we are pleased with what we have
seen puts it too mildly.
"Our route to Carlsbad, as we have
Just made the trip, covered about 180
miles. A railroad over tnat route
would cover the distance in about 155
or $50 miles. 1t would reach an ele-
vation of. 5000 feet twice on thai
road, once in the pass through the
Huerco mountains and once in the
pass through the Guadalupe mount
aims. The proposition as an engineer-
ing feat is an easy one. The old route
known as the Hagerman route, which
strikes the Pecos Valley at Lake Ar
thur, will be considered of course, but
that point will not be as advantag-
eous for the present purpose of the
road as one further down. While the
road to Kansas City is the ultimate
purpose, the present one is to make
good, close connections between FL
Paso and the Pecos Valley. In other
words, Ell Paso wants to become a
distributing point for the Pecos Val
| ley and compete with the Santa Fe
| railroad for the business here. Thus
it will be beneficial to both.
"Wnat the promoters of this road
| want just now is the support of the
| the preliminary work done for the
| proposed road. Ell Paso business men
are willing to put $1,000 in the prop
| osition of seeing if the road is feas-
| ible. If the plan shows up well, they
will put 100000 in the preliminary
| work The rest of the money will
| come easily from the East Carlsbad
will raise from $4,000 to $4,000. The
people there have taken much inter
est in the new road. If the people in

equal interest, it will no doubt be
built 1t is quite possible that the
| road will be run the length of the Pc
cos Valley, taking in both Roswell
and Carlsbad as well as intermediate
points, if it be promoted successful

nights train for Ell Paso. They are
spending this afternoon meeting the

of the feeling here on the subject of

SAYS STAY IN
INLAND EMPIRE
J. F. Richards Writes Of
Rigorous Climate in
Alberta

Those who have been prone to kick
against weather conditions as they
have prevailed in the Lewiston valley
this winter, will be interested in hear
ing some news direct from the Cana
dian Northwest, the Alberta country,
which has lured many Americans
across the border.
Secretary Rohrabacher of the Com
mercial club has in his possession a
letter directed TO A. F. Morrison of
Jerry, Wash. written by Joseph F..
Richards Of Wetaskwin. Alberta, in
which the writer indicates that the
Canadian Northwest Ia not a farmers
paradise at the present time of year.
Mr.. Richards says in part:
"Homesteads are very scarce and a
long way out, but the land is very
reasonable here. This Is a terrible
winter. The snow is three feet deep
and the thermometer has been down
TO 81 below. Ranchmen are losing
all their cattle. One man east Of here
brought in last season 10000 head of
Texas dogies worth 81 a head here and
he will lost every one of them"
Mr.. Richards states that he has been
four winters in the country and the
present winter is exceptionally severe.
He says that he is doing well and is
in good health, but appears loath to
advise his fellow Americans to leave
a country such as is enjoyed in the
Inland Empire to take chances with
the severity Of the Canadian winters,
