DIR. GOrdOn's Railroad Bill.

0f the passenger rate bill introdu-
ce1 in the legislature Monday by Rep
resentative Gordon of Guilford, the
Greensboro Record observes that 1t
Seems to be reasonable" Il so seems
to us. The bill provides that the rate
Of fare on roads having an earning
capacity of s1,40O or O per mile
shall be 2 IL cents and on those that
earn less than that 3 cents. We are
not familiar with the purpose Of the
bill with respect to s~ecOnd-class cars
and fares but if it has the features OF
~second-class cars and gave a second
class fare at 2 IA cents we would
readily agree with the Record that it
should be passed" That paper adds
that "Dr. Gordon is a conservative gen
tleman and lever does things for
spite" That is the way the Observer
would estimate him. He is, too, a man
of sense n both the qualities men
tioned-conservatism and sense-are
needed in the man who holds, as DR..
Gordon does, the highly responsible
place Of chairman of the apprOpria-
tons committee of the house.-Char-

w. A. Bryant, of the Roswell Wool
& Hide Co, and E. c. Jeffrfes and
Mr.. Strange, travelling statesmen,
came in on the automobile this aft
ernOon from Torrance, having come
to Roswell from Pecos via Ell Paso,
the Rock Island a1d the auto route on
account of their inability to pass the
flooded district between Carlsbad
and Pecos. They report a big flood
south of Malaga and bring an inter
esting account of flood conditions in
that part of the Pecos Valley.
Before leaving Pecos Tuesday NOR
ming these gentlemen learned that
for thirteen miles south of Malaga
the track of the railroat is either
washed away or submerged so it is
in. Every bridge in taat section that
has ben reported on is washed away.
The telephone line will work no far
ther out OF Pecos than Malaga and
conditions this side of that town are
not known. At Pecos the water of
the Pecos river was tapping the iron
girders of the T. P. bridge, and the
T. P. officials were afraid it might
be carried away.
1t is estimated that it will take
two or three weeks to restore travel
from Pecos to Carlsbad. The Ros,
well postoffice has received orders
to send no mail farther south than
Carlsbad until further notice.

Pecos Valley people who want to
come to Roswell, Artesia and other
points. Among them are Mr.. and Mrs.

THE CIRCUS FAILED TO

Dozens of little boys and some big
ones went down to the depot early
this morning Ito see the show come
i'm but the great Sells-Floto Consol-
idated Circus failed to put in its ap-
pearance. The disappointment was
keen, but it could not be said who
felt the worse, the little boys or the
grown up ones.
The trouble lay in a washout be
tween Pecos and Arno, little station
| twenty miles this side of that historic
old town. The railroad company has
been unable to get the track in safe
condition, although the first trouble
came Sunday afternoon. Since then
more high waters and heavy rains
have impeded the work until the track
builders have been unable to make
any headway in repairing tne damage

GOV. CURRY THINKS LAND
FRAUD NEWS EXAGGERATED

El Paso News, October 20.
Governor George Curry, of New
Mexico, arrived in the city yesterday
evening over the Southwestern and
will leave this evening over the Santa
Fe for the New Mexico capital
Governor Curry was seen this NOR
ming by a News reporter and asked
concerning the political situation in
the territory. 81 am pretty much in
the dark about the recent develop
ments," said the Governor. Il have
been going about the country ii
blackboard visiting my old home and
old friends in other parts of the ter
rtory, and haven't even read the
newspapers. When l left Santa Fe |
gave orders that l must not be called
upon except in a case of life and
DEATH and nothing has come to my
ears since / left except a request of
an old friend for a loan of 5000"
Governor Curry stated, however,
that so far as ne could learn the re-
ports that have been sent out from
Santa Fe about the coal land frauds
nave been greatly exaggerated. THE
Efiatter is in the hands of the Federal
government, however, and it remains
for Washington to straighten out af-
| fairs
You may say that We are prosper
Gus in New Mexico, and are doing
| fine all around, despite what is said
| about the political situation said the
| Governor
Asked about New Mexico statehood
| the Governor said that it was the
universal desire of the people of the
| territory to get single statehood and
| to get it as soon as possible. "Whet1-
er this session of congress will do
anything, however, is question"
| said the Governor. 'HThe President
| has been quoted as saying that this
| session of congress will hardly act
on it. But the sentiment is unques-
| tionable."

The superintendent would like to
confer with some of the graduates of
Roswell High School about organiz-
ing an Alumni Association. Every
first class high school has such an
association. We are sure that the
alumni of the Roswell High School
do not desire their Alma Mater to be
outstripped by other high schools of
the west in matters of this kind.
