If the congressman can bring them
selves to give up the smallest and
most useless of their perquisites they
might stop this free seed distribution
foolishness and give the quarter of a
million dollars that it costs to the
agricultural experiment stations.
Then the farmer would derive some
benefits from the expenditure.

A House That Is a Rock.

Concrete has been added permanent
ly to the list of available building ma
terials. 1t has stood the test of all
kinds Of strain. Failure has attended
some constructions where the builders
were careless or overconident. But
a properly built concrete structure will
stand rocking halfway over and not
collapse.
Concrete to be safe must have the
right proportion of cement and be prop
erly dried Even with the regulation
amount Of cement in the mixture the
stuff is cheap. But the main element
of cheapness for ordinary purposes lies
in the simplicity of putting it into
walls. No high priced skilled labor is
required. A workingman can put the
blocks Of his own house in place before
and after his paid working day. Even
floors, roofs and stairs may be made Of
concrete. Then the house is simply a
rock with rooms carved out.

THE fostering of merchant marine
is of the highest Importance to this
nation but ship subsidy measure
that proposes to hand over millions Of
dollars to steamship lines already in
successful operation and backed by
unlimited capital is not likely to inn
press the country at large as being
calculated to that end.

One objection to raising the pay Of
the private soldier in flush times is the
difficulty of reducing 1t when general
wages take slump. During the civil
war government bounties evened things
up. A liberal allowance of good con-
duct pay extra would reward the de-
serving men and tend to improve the
service.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF
WOMAN AND CHILD.

Washington. d. c.. Jan. 30.-The
Washington police are today trying
to solve the mystery as to whether
Mrs Alanda NJ. Copley and her three
months old baby. who were found
dead in bed shortly after midnight
were murdered or whether Mrs. Cop
ley snot the infant and then com
mitted suicide. The latter is the ex-
planatioI given by the husband, VIM.
G. Copley, a clerk in the Census Of
flee, who is held at the police station
pending investigation.
Lieutenant Falvey, after examila-
tion OF the wound which caused Mrs.
Copley's death, said it would have
been next to impossible for the wo-
man to have inflicted the injury on
herself. Shortly after midnight Cop
ley called a physician, telling him
that his wife had attempted suicide.
When the doctor arrived Mrs. Cop
ley and the baby were dead. The doc
tor Immediately informed the police
and the husband and father was plac-
ed under arrest. He was subjected to
severe examination, but maintained
that his wife killed herself.

A park for public amusements, in
cludi1g a base ball diamond and
skating rink will be established in
Roswell this winter, and it will be in
the form of a permanent improvement
bronght about indirectly by the re-
cognized need of such a feature for
the town and indirectly by the COM
ing of the Panhandle stockmen's con-
vention il April. The park will be
completed by the time of the con-
vention, early in April, and work will
be commenced next week. The site
of the park is east half of block 3
Original Survey of Roswell, which is
the piece of ground owned by Geo.
Slaughter, DR.. G. T. Veal and K. S.
Woodruff, facing Main Street and ly
ing between Fifth and Sixth streets.
Thus the field will be right in town"
The scheme is the product of DR.
Veal's fertile mind and enterprising
spirit. Always on the lookout for
some interesting amusement for Ros-
well, something TO aud to the desira-
bility of the town as a place of resi-
dence, he has long considered that the
town needed some permanent place
for the holding of public amusements.
And when he learned that there had
been no set plan for the entertainment
of the cattlemen when they come to
their convention he decided that now
is the time to act. He enlisted the
assistance and cooperation of some
of the leading cattlemen and otner ci-
tizens who are interested in public
amusement and organized a company
that will take care of the proposition
without calling on the public for assis
tance more than their patronage.
There will be no calls for stock sub
Scriptions. All of the stock is taken
The plan of DR.. Veal is to inclose
the half block above described in a
tight, seven-foot board fence and build
base ball amphitheatre and diamond
and skating rink within. The skat
ing rink will be builui1g so by 125
feet in size and will be large enough
to furnish a convention hall for the
cattlemen. AS skating rink it will
40 doubt be a popular resort and a
paying institution.
If possible some first class base ball
games will be arranged for the early
summer season. If possible they will
be brought here for the cattleme1's s
convention.
the amusement park will be a great
boon for Roswell.

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 30.-It is
stated today that there were 81 men
in the Stuart mine in Fayette coun-
ty, when the explosion occurred yes
terday afternoon 1t is not believed
that any of the men will be taken out
alive, the force of the explosion being
SO terrific as to wreck the entire in
ner workings. So far the cage in the
mine has been lowered 800 feet, or
within $50 feet of the bottom Some
repairing will nave to be done before
the cage can be let entirely down. 1t
is thought that the mine is on fire.
The heat and smoke from the shaft
is intense, and the men could not be
reached for a day or so, even if the
shaft were in working order. i.
Charleston, w. Va. Jan. 30.-Little
additional has been learned here to-
plosioa in the Stuart mine near Thur
mond, w. Va. in which eighty or
more miners are believed to have
lost their lives. The Stuart mine ad-
joins the Paral mine, in which an ex-
plosion caused uhe death of 22 men
last February, and an attempt to con-
meet the workings of the two mines
was under way when the explosion
occurred. There is still hope that
some of the eTltombed miners may
have escaped the explosion and still
survive in some inner chamber of the
mi wh oi iS nd
1t was believed this morning that the
rescuers would not be ablg to reach
the bottom of the snaft until late.

tea house as Guidema was passing
and shot MIN twice in the stomach.
The youth also was shot and mortal
Iy wounded by the prison warden who
accompanied Guidema. and who pur-
sued the assassin. Guidema was SEN
fenced to death by the terrorists for
merciless use of the lash in suppress
ing the hunger strike which the
prisoners on the island declared a

FRENCH CABINET is
BADLY CONFUSED

Paris, Jan. 3O.-The French cabi-
net has hardly recovered from it's
surprise at the proposition which the
bishops, with the approval of the
Pope, submitted to the government
for a 'modus vivendi'' upon the ba-
sis of a virtual lease of the churches
in perpetuity to the parish priests,
and apparently some confusion exists
as to what course to adopt The ex
treme Radicals are incensed at the
peremptory tone of the communica
tions and dispatches from Rome rep
rese1ting the Vatican as being de
termined that if the proposition is
rejected to order the parish priests
to leave their churches and suspend
public worship The Moderates, be-
lieve that the government having
accomplished the separation of the
church and state, can afford to ac-
cept almost any definite solution of
the difficulties in the interest of
peace.

TO SAVE FROZEN TREES.

Texas Man Writes the Record Let
ter on Horticulture.
To the Roswell Record:
AS a stockholder and director OF
the Chisholm Nursery and Orchard
Co., of Dayton, N. M, l have visited
the Pecos Valley in the orchard int
erests. l am pleased to note very ma
opment during the past year, espe-
cially in orchards south of Roswell.
AS to the effects of the ca ,ly cold
wave of last fall when the trees
were still growing, it is my opinion
that the trees will recover without
great damage to the ends of the
twigs. If properly handled the appar-
ent damage will be overcome in fu-
ture growth.
the younger trees should all be
cut back at once, removing the tips
that were nipped by the sudden cold
No damaged wood should be left on
the trees. BY the time the spring
growth starts, there will be no signs
of the cold wave perceptible The cut
ting back of the new growth is nc
disadvantage unless it be the loss OF
some fruit buds, and there is usually
a surplus of these, and thinning out
is no disadvantage
l have seen much worse effects OF
frost in North Texas than that of the
Pecos Valley last fall, the sap under
the bark and in the heart of the
younger trees turning black Even
the forest trees were affected, appar-
emily ruined, and in my time l have
cut down blocks of both shade and
fruit trees, thinking they were de
stroyed; but found afterwards that
those pruned back to solid wood re
covered.
1 think it would be a mistake tc
dig up and replace young trees here
now, but prune them back to SOUND
wood, and the sap and heart of the
trees will clear up to normal condi-
tions. My examinations have been
in orchards about Dayton.

NO LAND FRAUD
Even the President Deceived by Sec
retary Hitchcock's Repeated Land
Fraud Charges Indian Appropria-
tion Bill Reported to the Senate
Vote on Smoot February 20.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Severe criti-
cism of Secretary Hitchcock was
made in the senate today by Carter,
of Montana. The criticism was based
Oh the order of the Secretary last
December which prohibits tae issue
of patents to lands under any of the
land laws until after examination on
the ground by special agents. Senator
Carter some time ago presented a res
olution which denies the right of any
executive officer to prevent the grant
ing of patent when the law under
which it is claimed has been carried
out. He said that the order was with
out precedent in the history of the
government. 1T casts doubt on the
veracity, honor, integrity and good
faith of all settlers on the public do
main of the United States" He said
the Secretary had made repeated
charges of fraud in the settlement of
government land. He declared that ex
cluding the timber area of the North
west there had been practically no
fraudulent entries. Even the Presl-
dent had ben deceived and alarmed
by the Secretary's repeated charges.
In the name of justice to the 100000
entrymen OF the public domain, of the
families dependent on them, and of
their discredited neignbors, aggregat-
ing substantially twelty-seven million
people of the accused and injured,
the senate, the President and the
country.
Carter presented and ana-yzed the
records of entries and patents issued
that Not to exceed one-half of one
per cent of the final homestead en-
tries, less, Uf<an one per cent of the
final desert land entries, less than
one-half of one per cent of the final
timber and stone entries, and less
tnal one-half of one per cent of the
final coal entries are found to be
fraudulent, and the percentage of
mineral entries tainted with fraud is
small indeed"
The Indian appropriation bill was
reported to the senate today. 1t car
ries $14,509,O 900, an increase of more
than six million dollars over the bill
passed by the house. This is due to
the fact that a number of Indian
tribes money is now held il trust as
Indian tribal funds.
The senate has agreed to vote up
on the resolution declaring that Sen
ator Smoot is not entitled to a seat
at four o'clock Wednesday, Feb. 20.
The lower mouse today resumed
consideration of the agricultural ap-
preparation bill

GAMBLERS RAISING

From Albuquerque Journal.
There are rumors drifting into San
ia Fe of big slush fund, which it is
said is being raised by the owners of
gambling houses in New Mexico for
the influencing of legislation in con-
nectiol with the proposed anti-gamb-
ling bill. There is talk of a fund of
$4,000 which is to be raised for this
purpose Right here it is but fair to
say that such a fund will not have a
great deal of effect in this legislature
It is legislature in which money can
not and never can be the controlling
influence. There may be one or two
men in the assembly who could be
reached by such an influence. II there
are sucn men the fact has not yet de-
veloped and if the talk of this fund
IS founded on fact, the gamblers would
do well to save their money. This is
the impression that the first week has
given. There may be a few men in
position to influence small number
Of members who could be reached
with money but that the members of
either house could be so approached
it is not believed.
The plan is not to seek to suppress
all anti-gambling legislation. Such
a plan would be doomed to failure, for
in the present state of public senti-
me1t, the man VINO would vote aga
inst an anti-gambling bill would be
forever submerged SO far as his poll
teal prospects might be concerned.
But it is PROPOSED, according to the
rumor, to obtain a bill which will be
so weak in it's provisions as to be ca
silly evaded, and with a punishment
so light that it could be violated with
impunity. This plan, too, will fail,
for the anti-gambling bill will be wat
ened with sharp eyes not only by the
members, but by the whole people.
and the bill which passes will be ef-
fective, or there will be no bill. This
8 the sentiment among the large ma
;ority of the members OF both hous-
IS who nave been approached on the
subject.

ENTIRE POULTRY SHOW
IN ROSWELL r. r, YARDS,

People who were in the yards of
the P. V & N. E. railroad this morn
ing had the opportunity of seeing a
whole poultry show, the property of
S. Johnson, who was taking a carload
of prize-winniag birds from mis- old
home in Blackwell, o. T., to Dexter
near where he will establish q poul-
try farm. Mr.. Johnson has bought one
hundred acres from o. D. Whitney
two miles north of the Felix ranch
between Dexter and Hagerman. He
will have a fifty acre orchard AID so
acres of alfalfa, but will make a
specially of fine poultry.
In his car were coops of fowls as
follows: Touluse geese, white Chin
ese geese, Golden pheasa1ts. Silver
pneasants, white Pekin ducks, Pea
fowls, white Wyandotte chickens, Cor
nish Indian Games, brown Leghorns,
white Plymouth Rocks, Barred Plym-
outh Rocks, white Orpingtons, Jap
anese Silky chickens, Anco1a chick
ems, Bronze turkeys. white guineas,
HOming pigeons and white Fantail
pigeons. He also had cattle, horses
and two pet dogs. Many of the birds
have scored as high as 95 at various
fairs and exhibitions
Mr.. Johnson undoubtedly will make
good citizen, and do much to devel-
op and advertise the resources of the
Valley.
