The history of Roswell is of and
men. Most of our business men are
old COW punchers. Our first mayor,
Capt. Lea, the homesteader of the
town, was in the business many years
and the townsite was the headquar-
tiers of the Lea Cattle Company. Onr
one, ]. F. Hinkie, was a COW puncher
in the fullest of the word, and
built sidewalks and did things like
they do when there is a big days
branding on. Our present mayor is
also a former cow-puncher, and
knows all the ms and outs of The
business.

MEMBERS OF THE PANHANDLE

MEMBERS OF THE PANHANDLE
sToCKMEN's ASSOCIATION, La
DIES AND GENTLEMEN
In tnis, the eighth year of our Asso-
citation, we have taken a new depart
ure. For the first time the association
holds it's meeting outside the state
of Texas. am very glad that it has
been decided to do so. We have all
along had many faithful and useful
members residing in New Mexico, n
it is highly appropriate that we should
recognize their loyal service to the
Association by meeting with them on
their own ground. 1t is right, also.
to take notice of the great cattle inter
ests of this portion of the territory
and the share they have in the pur-
poses for which this Association ex-
lists. For these reasons it cen to
me very proper that we should by
no means con1ne our meetings to the
State of Texas as we have heretofor
done.
There is another reaso why it is
pleasant as well as profitable to hold
our meeting here. We are in the cen
ter of an immense cattle country,
where the business which our Asso-
citation is designed to promote is ear
ried on on a large scale and furnishes
a striking example of how the work
in which we are all interested can
be conducted to advantage, and also
- ct-;lzfn- 49, ~ th0 -ool Of r,14-,
an Association as this and its bene-
fits in promoting so great an industry.
We meet, too, in one of the most beau
tiful towns in all this section of our
country, where we nave only to ooh
around us to admire its evidences of
prosperity and of the good taste which
has adorned the town itself with so
much grace and beauty. Charming
in its outward appearance, and still
more charming in the cordial and gra-
cious hospitality with which we are
welcomed, l lave nc doubt but that
all who have come to Roswell will ev-
er remember our meeting nere as n
of the most pleasant in the history of
the Association.
The past year has been on the whole
a fairly prosperous n to the indus-
try we represent. the season has
been especially favorable and the los
ses from cold and storms have been
lighter than usual while the increase
in the prosperity of the country gen.
orally has helped make the prices of
our product more firm and stable as
well as advance them to a considera-
bic extent. Speaking generally, the
cowmen of the section tributary to
this Association is in a comfortable
condition. A very large per cent. of in
dividual Indebtedness has been lifted
and cattlemen generally are nor con
tented and better satisfied than they
have been for many years. Let us
nope that this condition of things will
continue and that the circumstances
of the country and the a used to
promote that prosperity will lead to
even greater advances.

remarks I made at the opening of the
last session OF the Association I al
luded to one Of these-the advance
ment Of agriculture proper in this
section: the work of the man with
the pillow. Another years experience
has only confirmed the opinion I then
expressed. It was once thought that
the only way in which cattlemen
could succeed was by keeping the far
mer at a distance; by holding all the
range open and depending upon grass
entirely to maintain his stock. But
it is now clearly shown that the land
of the Panhandle is capable of culti-
| walton; that it is well adapted to pro
duce reasonable sure crops which af-
ford available feed for stock, and tnat
in this way the cowman is enabled
to keep a class of stock of higher
a great part of the annual losses oc-
casioned by hard seasons and scanty
feed which in former years made cat
tie raising to a considerable degree
a game OF chance. 1t has also made
it possible to feed the stool to a high
standard, to make them nearly or
quite ready for the market, and in
crease the quality and market val
he of our product, and the same con-
ditions apply here.

of Texas through Prof. Marshall of the
