NOT MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT.


1t will be seven weeks the coming
Friday since the strike of telegraph
operators employed by the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph Compa-
mics began, and from the first day of
the strike the Record has not recelv
ed a single word of its Associated
Press news dispatches, while still
paying for them every Monday in adj
anc Thus Roswell has been abso-
Iutely cut off from late news of the
outside world for nearly two months.
Efforts have been made by the Rec
ord and by the Commercial Club to
have the service resumed at this
point, but it evidently is beyond the
power of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company to secure an operator
competent to handle the dispatches
SEM the Record. In reply to represen-
tation made to the telegraph compa-
ny, the Record yesterday received
the following telegram:
Denver, Colo, Sept. %.
Daily Record, Roswell.
Cannot state definitely just how
We will be able to resume the
Associated Press report to Roswell
hope, however, to be able to do
in the near future.
(Signed) C. E. LEONARD.
From the above it can be seen that
it probably will be some time before
the Records news service is resum-
ed, and in h mean time we ask our
patrons to be patient.

THEN AND NOW.

The editor of the Barstow, Texas,
| Journal, who was once a slave in a
big Cincinnati ~newspape Office, blue
penciling the finest efforts of imagi-
native reporters and filling blanks in
skeleton telegraph, could not resist
influence of the climate, and since To-
eating in the lower Pecos Valley has
Iblossomed forth as something of a
poet himself. Witness the following
editorial from his paper:
You, in the East, when you think
of the Southwest, picture in your
mind an endless prairie covered with
mesquite, cactus and sagebrusA,-
rabbits running acros the fiat and
perhaps a lonely ranch house or some
mountains in the distance. The sun
glares down day after day, the hea
waves rise quivering from the parch-
ed earth and over it all the silence
of the grave, except at night when
the lobos and coyotes come out and
o think you have reached the spot
where you can hear the cries of the
souls in torment.
This is the Southwest of the novel
writer, and it was the Southwest in
truth not many years Ago.. But a
change has come over the arid, end
less desert. brought by the magic
of water-from the rivers, the
springs, the wells-and the desert
has haau made to bloom aS the rose -
Happy, prosperous homes take
place of prairie dog towns, and the
vine and tree are seen instead of
sage brush and mesquite. Contented
dairy herds nibbling the luscious al
falfa have supplanted the wild-eyed
bare and lonely siEaouetted against
the desert sky has given way to the
farm home with shade
trees and flowers.
The old cattle trail is now a well
kept country road lined with shade
trees and with well-kept orchards,

side.

they were led into this combination

returned to the church about $3.50, each
group having held four meetings. The
meeting at the church was continued by

COST TO CITY
0 PASSAIC,
$4,765.577
Estimate for Work
of Purifying River Is
$9,0OO,OOO

In a statement which has been placed
in the hands of each member of the
Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission.
Secretary John S. Gibson, Of that COM
mission, has outlined the cost of con-
structing and maintaining the proposed
trunk sewer for the sewage OF the
twenty municipalities situated in the
Passaic valley below the Great Falls at
Paterson. The statement shows in de-
tail the number of inhabitants in the
area of the Passaic valley section sew
erage district and the increase in pop
ulation during the five years between
1900 and 1905 as well as h proper
Tomato share of the total cost TO DO
borne by each municipality. This es-
innate is based on figures prepared by
Rudolph Herring, and, vas provided in
the law enacted this year, the share
of the municipalities is based on the
tax ratables of last year.
This statement gives some idea OF
the enormity of the task of purifying
the Passaic River. The statement In
full follows:
The area of the Passaic Valley sewerage
district below the falls at Paterson Is put
elghty-one square miles, yet within this
part of the population and wealth of the
State, and its development and increase
In both is very great. The increase IN
during five years Is shown IN
the following table, based upon the census
returns for 1900 and 1905:

DOING
IN N
ON SUNDAY
Pastors Think Fans Will
Help Them to Stop All
Business.

TRENTON, Aug. 3.-Folloying the
abandonment by Colonel Lewis Perrine.
president and owner Of the Trenton
team of the Tri-State Baseball League,
of the plan Of running Sunday baseball
games in this city, members of the
Trenton Ministerial Union (Protestant)
and Monsignor John H. Fox. vicar gen.
eral of the Catholic Diocese Of Tren-
ton, yesterday issued a statement con-
graduating the colonel on his retreat
from Sabbath desecration and the city
on it's escape from Sunday amusements.
The clergymen also take the position
that while the people Of the citys are
ripe for reform along the line of Sun
day ~observances, it would be a good
thing to move for the closing of all
places of amusement and all business
places on Sunday. The amusement
places include the white City," in
which several Trenton capitalists and
churchmen are interested, and a num-
Der of picture shows. The move
| against business places will affect cigal
stores, soda water FOUNTAINS, ice cream
parlors, and grocery stores In the
foreign quarter of the city. 1t is also
alleged that many of the saloons are
doing a thriving Sunday trade in spite
Of the bishops law, and these. too, will
come under the ban.
This latest move for a CLOSED IN
day" in tile capital city is likely to be
more effective than any ever before
attempted, because of the fact that the
baseball fans, who have been disap-
pointed by the abandonment of Sunday
games, now demand that other Sunday
laws be strictly enforced.

SCHOOL
BOARD TO GO

By People of Question Of
Proposed New System.

At the election this fall citizens will
be called upon to vote as to whether
the present school board be retained
or whether a board of nine members
shall be appointed by the Mayor.
This proposition comes as a result
of the unanimous adoption by Com
mon Council last night of the following
resolutions:
Section IS of Article VI. of the act Of
the Legislature Of the State OF New
Jersey, entitled 4 act to establish
public schools, and to provide for thf
maintenance, support and management
thereof" approved October 10, 1903,
Mayor Of the city Of MIN persons to
be members of the Board of Education
of the city, be submitted to the quail

be held therein on Tuesday, November
s. 1907. And bent further
Resolved, That the City of Newark
take the necessary steps to publish and
post such notices and to provide such
ballots as nay be required by law to
carry out the provisions of this resolu-
ton.
Alderman william P. Martin ex-
pressed himself very strongly as being

fered that It be elective instead of ap-
pointive, as the law now provides.
Leader Patrick H. Ryan suggested that
could be remedied by the Legislature
which September IT, so that
the people could vote on an elective
board proposition.
Alderman Martin thought that was a
good plan and said he would vote for
the resolution, as it was the best pres
n method of remedying the evils re-
sultant upon the existence or the large
board, as he put 1t.
Mr.. Martin questioned the action OF
the Council in passing the resolution
when the Board of Education had the
same matter under consideration and
intended to have the matter placed be-
fore the public.
It was remarked that the Democrats
realized the need of a small board
1t was thought wise to settle the mat
ter at once.
