BUYING, SELLING AND
BUILDING AT CARLSBAD

Carlsbad, N. NJ, Sept. six
farms were sold under the Carlsbad
project last week. The largest Lot of
years came in on the Santa Fe excur-
sion and many of them are still here.
From present indications this fall
will see the largest influx of home
seekers ever known in this valley,
one firm of land men having a party
of sixty coming on the next excur-
sion. The country is looking better
than it ever has before, farmers are
busy planting oats and alfalfa and har
vesting the crops already matured
The cotton crop is in fine shape and
the former estimate of 1900 bales
will probably be too small.
Several handsome residences are
going up through the valley, being
built by new corners. H. w. Hawkin-
son, formerly of Springfield, ILL.,, has
a crew of carpenters and masons on
his farm about five miles below Carls
bad and is erecting a fine farm home.
P. L. McShane, formerly successful
business man of Chicago, has a large
force at work building a $4,000 resi-
dence near Loving.
AT the big Boles farm, Manager F.
2. Bryant is fatUening one hundred
lambs for the International Fat Stock
Show at Chicago and the Albuquer-
que Fair. Mr.. Bryant's lambs took
first prize at Chicago last fall, and he
expects to win everything in sight
this year. The Carlsbad Commercial
Club expects to have the banner indi
vidual exhibit at Albuquerque this
fall. Two men have been busy practi
cally all summer collecting and pre-
serving the various products of the
valley. They will leave in about two
weeks for Albuquerque with the car
of produce and begin the work of in
stallation.

NUMBER l5e

reviewed by William H. Taft, Cox.
Harris, Senator Foraker and man7
other notables. When marching past
the reviewing stand about eleven O..
clock the veterans were sa1uted with
bombardment of flowers for which
the women of Toledo had been pre-
pairing for some days. They emerged
from the floral shower to be greeted
by an immense human flag made up
of nearly 5000 childrens, who in dres-
ses Of red, white and blue. swayed
their bodies so that the flag seemed
to swing in the breeze.
The streets were so closely packed
that it was almost impossible to move
along the sidewalks. The newspapers
estimate that there are 10000 visit
ors in the city.
The Texans, some forty of whom
were in line, attracted considerable
attention by a seven foot spread of
steer horns carried by Col. Dexter
Wagner. The men of Clusters com
mand were easily distinguished by
wearing red ties This badge has been
worn since an encampment soon af
ter the war ended, when Mrs. Eliza.
beth Custer, wife of the General,
threw among them long piece OF
red flannel which was torn up on the
spot and made by the men into red
ties.

MAY COME TO ROSWELL
Sold Yesterday in Dallas by the Re-
ceiver, and Buyer Gives Guarantee
Bond to Commence Construction
Within Sixty Days Local People
Should See that Road Comes Here.

Word was received in Roswell last
night by wire that the Dallas and
New Mexico Railroad was sold yester-
day in Dallas by the receiver in whose
hands it has been for some time to
a Mr.. McGargle of Philadelphia. In
asmuch as Col. c. G. Slaughter, OF
Dallas, and who is now in Roswell,
had certain claims against this road,
the purchaser gave Col. Slaughter d
guarantee bond that he will commence
construction within sixty days.
This road was projected about twen
ty years ago and about 81 miles of
grading was done, beginning at a
point six miles from Dallas and run
ming northwest to Jacksboro, in Jack
at the present time and is covered with
bermuda grass. OF course in some
few places where streams cross it it
has been cut out by the water, but
otherwise is as good, if not better
than the days in which it was done.
The road was originally planned to
cross the Pecos river at a point about
half way between Roswell and FIT.
Sumner. 1t is extremely probable.
however, that owing to the construc-
ton of the Belen cutoff line, the new
owners of the road will desire to run
the line further south and there is
where Roswell comes in.
Such a line, running as it would in
a straight line from Roswell directly
to Dallas, a distance of about APO
miles, would be of the utmost import
ance to Roswell and would propably
be better situated to open up mark
ers for the farmers of the Pecos Val
ley than any other line that could be
constructed.
The Record believes it would be
we'll for the people of Roswell to get
into correspondence with Mr.. McGar-
gle and see what steps will be neces-
sary to have this line strike through
Roswell.

This is the last day Of the second
annual meeting of the New Mexico
Christian convention, the sessions OF
which are being held at the Christian
church in this city. The final business
meeting will be held at four O'Clock
this afternoon, at which the officers
for the coming year and the officers
of the Territorial board will be elect
ed, and the next place of meeting
will be selected. 1t is quite likely
that Ell Paso will be the next place
of meeting, all the territory west of
this district. F. F. Grimm, of Las We
gas, the present corresponding secre
tary and territorial evangelist, will
no doubt be reelected.
Last nights session was largely at
tended, w H. Swartz, of Artesia, ad
dressed the meeting on the Sunday
School as an Evangelistic Agency,
and was followed by w. J. Wright,
National Secretary of Christian Mis-
sions, who gave an address on mis-
ton of nearly $500 being taken for
missions.
H. B. Robinson conducted the Bible
study this morning, giving an address
which was followed by a spirited dis
ctssion. Mrs. Kelley, representing the
national organization of the Chris
tian Women's Board of Missions, ad
dressed the convention.
This afternoon was turned over to
the women, many of them taking
part and the work of the C. w. B. M
being the general topic. This is to
be followed by the business session.
Mrs. Kelley will deliver an address
tonight.
Secretary Wright, of the American
Christian Missionary Society, announc
ed while here that his society would
give a goodly sum toward missionary
work in New Mexico during the com
ing year, probably $4,000.

White River Junction, VT, Sept. q
A revised tabulation of the vote cast
for governor with nineteen small
towns missing gives George H. Prou-
ty, Republican, 43,043, Burke, Demo-
crat 1878; Backus, of the Independ-
ence League, 1922; Campbell, Prohi'
bitionist, SOL; Dunbar, Socialist, 463.
Prouty's plurality in the state is esti-
mated at $4,000. The decrease of the
Republican vote compared with four
years ago amounts to six per cent,
and in the Democratic vote to three
per cent. The legislature is overwhel-
mingly Republican, insuring the cleo
ton of a Republican successor to the
late Senator Redfield Proctor. His son.
Governor F. D. Proctor, probably will
be chosen.
The election of a Democratic mem
ber of the state senate gives that par
ty representation in that branch of
the legislature for the first time in
several years. Out of 239 mem bers of

VOTE WITHOUT FEAR.
Gentlemen, your choice.

An appeal to the fears of the peo-
pie has been the feature of the repub-
lican campaign in this county. The
stock argument in favor of Taft has
been that the election of Bryan would
mean a return Of the hard times that
existed Is years ago.
But how Bryan's election would
create hard times they do not show.
They cannot They have no reason
- offer. They merely wave the red
flag in hopes of frightening the un-
informed and the prejudlced into sup
porting Taft.
should Bryan be chosen president
there would not be the slightest rea-
son for ranic or business depres-
sion. The president is the executive.
He does not make laws. Bryan could
not change the tariff no matter how
much it might need revising Con-
gress must do that and it will still be
hopelessly standpat.
Bryan's election would simply
mean that the people would have a
president who is known to be true to
the interests Of all the people. He
would desire reforms and would do
all in his power to bring them about.
He would be Independent of the dig
archical clique that is now running
the government in the interests of a
privileged few. He would be a check
upon congress.
Taft might be such a man also. But
he has never been tried in the fire
as Bryan has been. The people don't
know Taft. Then he would not be in
a position to do good work should
ne wish to. His party is bound hand
and foot to the interests.
1t is through Senator Aldrich,
Speaker Cannon and their republican
trust-owned followers that the in
terests rule. Taft as president could
not denounce these men. Roosevelt
has not dared expose them. Had he
done so he would have driven his
party from power. But Bryan would
be wholly Independent of these men.
r ne found them to be traitors to the
common good he could brand them
as such. The country would then do
the rest.
. But do not vote against Bryan for
fear of hard times. That is a buga-
boo put forth to catch the ignorant
and the prejudiced. The fact that it
has been used here so strongly is an
insult to the Intelligence of the people
Of Umatilla county. If the voters do
right they will vote for Bryan and
thereby show that they are not the
asses that some republicans think
they are. Vote as you believe-with-
out fear. regardless of buncombe and
regardless Of the party whip.

HOPE AHEAD.

The people Of Weston are now plan
ming to enlarge their gravity water
system so as to make it adequate for
the increasing needs Of the town. The
Improvement seems to be needed and
III will probably be voted.
This news from Weston is signifi-
cant. It shows that Weston and that
portion Of the county is forging
ahead despite the fact that during
the past few years conditions have
been unfavorable for growth.
Like other portions Of Umatilla
county Weston and Athena have suf-
fered from the consolidation Of farms.
The passing Of many wheat ranches
into the hands Of a few has cut down
the population Of the country and it
has taken the life out of the towns.
But there Is a star Of hope and it
l3 growing brighter every month
Intensified farming promises to break
up the big ranches by making the land
too valuable to be titled as is now the
custom.
Then an interurban line is coming
through the heart Of the Athena
Weston country When it comes it
will reyolutionlze that section as well
as Pendleton. The land along the
line will spring to life. Along Wild
Horse Pine and Dry creeks there will
be scores Of little homes where there
are now but a few.
The thing for the people Of Weston
and Athena to do IS to get into the
harness and work for the development
Of the country in that vicinity. Urge
farmers to try better methods. Ask
them 10 raise Canadian field peas or
some other suitable crop instead Of
summer following.
II few will but try such methods
and they prove successful, others will
adopt them speedily The result will
