good this season. "And cowmen are
not uttering a word of complaint"
said Mr.. Graves. They have been do

for the future. The cattle business
has been more satisfactory during the
past yea than ever, and we have
made more money than for many
years previously. And when it m

l never saw sucn a prosperous time.
Right now sheep trading is the lead

There is no part of % Great South

is no part having greater promise of

Moreover, from all these towns Ell

The short line railroad to the Pecos

long either. The Pecos Valley is the
nearest Il all the rich communities
with which FL Paso's trade of the fu-

short line railroad the Pecos Valley
will be brought almost as near as Sill

have ways of developing a rich val

The country around Roswell, and the

dispatches, but it is expressly stated
the movement is not boom in dis
guise. I.'a
Republicans under the same cir

scales, and act accordingly. But
there is only too much reason to

Senator Culberson, and thereby en-
danger the only chance of some
man who might win-some such a
figure as Governor Johnson of Min

The plain truth of the matter is
that there IS no good Southern
men," who would stand n ghost of
a show in the next election against
any fairly representative Republican
candidate. Mr.. Bryan is the near
est approach to it, and his prospects
in the party and out-are none
too bright. II the Democrats really
hope to win they viii fix upon some
