Every citizen of Carlsbad of course
IA on his company manners" last
week, and we did not learn about any
of the personal quarrels and local
jealousies that often ilf1ict even
towns OF as great Importance as los
well. We hope that Carlsbad has none
of such petty spites n childish en-
vies. They are a curse to any com
munity. Every citizen should at all
times treat his own townsmen with
even more courtesy and considera-
ton than he doe the casual visitor
and stranger. You must live with
these people, and the better you get
along together the happier for all con
cerned. There is not now, never was,
and never will be a single good rea-
the other towns in the Pecos Valley
should not pull together in perfect
harmony. Newkirk still emains at
Artesia, but he, too, attended the ir-
rigation celebration, and after meeting
all the newspaper men of Roswell

vinciaIism and pettishness received
a shock that will cause him to grad
ually shed his coat without further
use of h currycomb.
Long before the celebration we had
heard that there were some people
in Carlsbad still "cussing'' C. B. Ed
dy; but last week the prophesy was
made that some day the memory of
Mr.. Eddy would be honored as the
ma1 to whom the whole eco Valley
owes the greatest debt of gratitude.
This is given as an indication of the
growing spirit of peace which cor
panies the permanent development of
the country. J~ealousies n suspi-
lions are the result of uncertainty,
dishonesty and lack of confidence on
the part of men VIC doubt their own
ability to deliver b goods" The
man or community that lives a full
life of activity and usefulness has no
time for jealousies and suspicious.
C. w. Greene was perhaps the real
~discoverer of h Pee Valley coun-
try, in that he first saw the POSSIBLE
tiles of an extensive irrigation plant
near Carlsbad. He a been inter
ested in the Bear Valley dam above
San Bernardino, California, before
coming mere. He was a "plunger."
and yet did much for this valley. His
farming 1000 acres OF lald by cable
from London will serve as a speci-
men of the methods which finally
caused him to "go broke" along WITH
other members of the community who
had been interested in his schemes.
But he was a cheerful genius, and
from his active brain there at once
leaped a more gigantic enterprise
than ever. To the men whom he owed
money and who were many of them
as hard up as himseh he said: Gen
tlemen, we are all busted; and 1 am
the only man who can ave h stu
alton" Tnen he unfolded the plan of
organizing a great orchard company,
stating that he had already interested
the Stark Bros. Nursery Co, and cap
italists at Colorado Springs. The or
chard business he announced would
save the country, and stated that he
had everything ready but the money.
Now, gentlemen, you must put up
the money" To shorten the story, his
creditors contributed $3.50, and he
went to Colorado Springs and organ
lied the company, a final result of
which enterprise was h planting of
the famous Hagerman orchard, the
DEVELOPMENT of extensive irrigation
works and the reclamation of the Pc
cos Valley. Greene, however, did not
return to the Valley, after doing what
he mad promised to Enable mis- cred
itors to their money. w. T.
Reed, editor of the Carlsbad Argus,
is a step-son of this great promoter,
and is now planning to start a daily
paper at Carlsbad.
On the farm now owned by Captain
Bujac still stands the old ranch head
quarters of C.. B. Eddy. When Mr..
McLenathen came to Carlsbad IS
years ago.. he says herr were only
two shade trees within a range of
