A CITY GOVERNMENT
THAT WORKS FOR GOOD

i After the terrible flood those mel
of Galveston who loved their towr
saw at once that in the stupendous
work that lay before them the ole
plan would not do; it was, of course
unwieldy, bungling, inefficient, good
for nothing but a means of furnishing
certain spoils in the old game of par
ty politics. And so, face to face at
| last with verities, they set to work to
| frame a new government Now that
| the exigencies of parties and privilege
10 longer controlled, now that they
We're dealing with city problem
with reference solely to the city it
self, they were not long in discover
ing what they could do without-they
| learned the folly of having boards,
and ward boundaries; they saw that
the division of city into wards is
a most artificial thing, without reas-
on for its being. Cities have no such
natural divisions; citizens are not cit
liens of a ward, but of city, and
such divisions are good for nothing
but the uses of party machines and
the big public-service corporations
they invariably represent. So they did
away with wards and boards of alder
men and other clumsy and inefficient
bodies, and finally evolved the com
mission plan, under which the people
elect four commissioners, in whom
are centered the legislative, admins
city. 1t seems that they had their in
variable difficulty with the legisla-
ture; for, as originally drawn. the
plan proposed that two of the COM
missioners should be appointed by
the governor.
The Galveston plan is simple. Four
commissioners are elected by the peo-
pie, and these four are the only Off
cials elected. In these are centered
all powers-they are mayor. council,
and all the boards put together. They
are responsible to the people, and to
the people alone. Among these the
administrative work is distributed.
One of them, Mr.. H. P. Landes, is
president of the board, and is, in a
sense, the mayor; another mas charge
of the streets and public properties;
another has control of finances and
revenue; and the fourth of water
works and sewerage. This division
has worked well, and vnder it Gal
weston is accomplishing its mighty
task. It has grown to be city hon
estly ald capably governed, and the
plan" has attracted the attention ev
erywhere of men and women inter
ested in problems of city government.

All the country to the north and
south of Roswell, and evidently thru
the length and, breadth of the Pecos
Valley, was visited by a heavy rain
Sunday and today that has raised the
streams and flooded some sections,
especially those south. Contrary to
the general supposition, the rain did
not extend to the west, evidently, for
practically no increase has been not
ed il the flow of the Hondo river up
to two o'clock this afternoon.
Although the whole country between
Carlsbad and Pecos is said to be cov-
cred with water, no damage to the
railroad or private property is report
ed in that section The only serious
damage that can be reported authenti-
cally is at the sand pit spur at River
side, mile this side of the Pecos
river north of Roswell. There 450
feet of track and trestle were washed
out, the water all coming in rain from
the hills in the immediate vicinity.
The Pecos river was not up enough
to endanger the bridge. and it was
not damaged, despite the reports that
were out
The heavy rain at Riverside start
ed at two o'clock Sunday afternoon
and reached the proportions of almost
cloudbhrst. The water rushed down
from the hills on its way to the Pc
cos, taking everything movable with
it. A small trestle was the first to
go, and then a long stretch of track
followed.
The local railroad office reported
this afternoon that the washout had
been repaired and that trains could
now pass over it.
Last nights train came down as far
as Acme and was held there the rest
of the night. A made-up train came
from Carlsbad this morning and went
to Acme and exchanged passengers,
baggage and mail with the train from
the north, returning this afternoon.
A telephone message frome Carlsbad
brings the news that Lake Avalon
was raised four feet last night, with
all the outlet gates open. One-tenth
of an inch of water was flowing into
the Hondo reservoir all morling.
About 400 acres are submerged in the
Hondo reservoir, which is about the
same as it mas been for some time.

to pass. The incoming passengers
who stayed at Acme all night and till

bought out everything eatable in the
stores of that place and were still
hungry. The express messengers and

erty at Acme and at Hereford, the
latter place on account of a wreck
yesterday afternoon. The Riverside

Talk with Col. Baker ABOUT Nylip
Care for the Shade Trees.


For many miles on the way to the
Pecos Valley, before reaching it
nothing is to be seen of a vegetable
nature, except one broad expanse OF
dead grass. On arriving at Roswell
the first thought on looking over the
town is, 20, the beautiful trees
The trees are the city's greatest
beauty. Long rows of mountain cot
tonwood, well shaped and bearing
thick foliage, form a restful scene to
the weary eye. A vigorous and new
growth to most people coming west,
they are particularly attractive.
At this season of the year, they
need special attention on account of
the destructive moth or caterpillar.
In a few days, when once attacked,
they are stripped of foliage. Humid
reds of trees in Roswell are now in
tested with those worms.
Kill them. 1t is easily done. Tightly
tie a piece of cloth ON one end of a
pole, saturate the cloth with coal oil,
ignite it, and go after them. 1t is a
pleasure to kill pests. Go after them
NOW and save the beautiful trees
within our city limits.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER.

FarmInStOn IImeS-HuStIer.
Bull Andrews of PENNSYLVANIA, who,
through the grace of great frauds rep
resents this territory as delegate at
Washington, on invitation of the Pre-
sident, was member of the presi-
Dental party last week on tae Miss
ssippi. This is another sample of
Mr.. Rooseve1t's high regard for hon
esty in the public service. Roosevelt
knows the Pennsylvania school of
politics. from which Bull Andrews
graduated and in which ne has TAX
en- post graduate courses. Still he has
the ear of the President.
Roosevelt knows, or should know,
that he got his first nomination and
election by the Pennsylvania meth
DDS transplanted in New Mexico soil.
Still he is a welcomed adviser of the
President
Recently the President remarked
that while he would approve the Ok
lahoma constitution, which was rat
flied by the astonishing vote of near
ly 100000 yet his personal opinion
vas mot fit for publication
This instrument places all political
oower in the hands of the people II
makes the election of United States
senator's and the nomination of all
state officers part of the peoples
duty at primaries held under super
vision of the state, the same as a gen
eral election. It makes all legislation
subject to the veto of the people at a
general election called for the pur
pose. It gives the people power to
force the legislature to enact any law
that majority may desire.
For these reasons every corporation
bribe- -giyer was against it. Every pol
itician who sought place and power
that he might sell away the peoples
rights was against it. Every machine
politician who wanted TO manipulate
caucuses and conventions was ag-
ainst it.
And Theodore Roosevelt, the man
who has lectured the people more
than any other president on honesty
in public place, was against it.
When one sees these things and
sees the company he chooses in New
Mexico. he feels compelled to revise
that high opinion of President Roose-
welt, which, without regard TO party,
We were once wont to maintain.

GOVERNOR CURRY TALKS
STATEHOOD AT LINCOLI

| Lincoln, N. NJ, Oct. 25-For sever
J ala days Lincoln had been awaiting
the arrival of Governor George Curry
and had planned a royal welcome for
her popular son. This morning the
reception committee, accompanied by
many of the citizens, drove down the
road toward Roswell to meet the Gov
ernor, for a rider had brought the
news that ne was coming. They met
him at the Fritz ranch five miles east
of Lincoln. Here Governor Curry de-
serted his body-guard, Fred Higgins
of the New Mexico Mounted Police,
and joined the Lincoln party.
Just as the party was entering Lin
coin, and as they were passing the
sanatorium of DR.. Laws, some of the
patients being of a military turn of
mind fired a salute of thirteen guns.
The Governors party proceeded to
the historic old court house, which
from it a banner bearing the words
Welcome Curry stretched across
the street. The school children were
assembled on the court house steps
and sang appropriate songs. In the
large court room which was filled
to overfiowing, Governor Curry made
a short talk, thanking the people for
such a cordial reception, and prom
ised, if excused for the time being,
that ne would make an address at
the dance to be given at night.
At the evening meeting the court
anxious to hear the Governor Judge
H. B. Hamilton presided, and in a
few well chosen words introduced
Governor Curry as the speaker of the
evening.
Governor Curry spoke briefly, Civ
ing short history of his official life,
both before and since the Spanish
American war. He said that he was
forty-four years old, and that he new
er had the opportunity to vote for
President, but that his highest ambi-
ton was to see New Mexico made a
state so that he might have that priv
ilege.
He discussed the methods to be pur-
sued in obtaining statehood and told
of his conference with President
Roosevelt on that subject.
Other speakers of the evening were
Prof. Juan B. Blea, Geo. B. Barber, |
Editor Jno. A. Haley of the Captain
News, and a MR.. Chaves from Plea |
cho. They also spoke on statehood and
pictured conditions in New Mexico af- |
ter it has become a state. During the |
evening Clement Hightower, of Cap |
itan, acted as interpreter, and at |
times grew eloquent, even if his chief |
did not. After the speaking the court |
room was cleared and the "baile" was
on for the remainder of the night.

"The matter" said Judge Fall, mas

so far as the lumber company was
concerned, Or so far as DR.. Ricketts,
is concerned in the coal land buA-
ness. The secretary of the interior
and Attorney General Bonaparte and
myself went over the whole case in
the timber land question, and if there
was any mistake made it was made
as to the Territory's jurisdiction or
power to sell the lands, and that is a
matter for congress to adjust when
it meets. The charges of fraud were
all based on technicalities. and you

Territorial Land Commissioner Rob
ert P. Erwin has distributed among
of $11, 1874, which represents the fl
nal payment of the Pennsylvania De
