character that has ever been accom-
plished in stage productions, and for
the reason that it's characters and
scenes are all imaginative In all of
these essential particulars. THE Land
of Nod is unlike anything hitherto
brought forward, which gives it rare
originality and distinctive charm. In
other respects, the presentation has all
of the characteristics of the prevail
ing popular musical comedy. It is pre-
scented by a company Of IS, made UP

of Russian spies tracking down these
refugees and others who are involved
in no crime but that of forging pass
ports to escape from oppression to
liberty.
If the Russian embassy and consul
ates, with the aid of hired Russian
spies and American lawyers, can drag
men who risked liberty life and prop
erty to attack oppression to goal and
gallows under a treaty providing for
extradition of men guilty of murder,
arson and forgery, the boasted right
of political sanctuary will no longer
exist in the United States.

Roswell, N. M, June II, 1903.
Members of Roswell Commercial Club.
Gentlemen We are now entering
upon our fourth year as a commercial
as well as a social organization. The
future of Roswell has never been so
bright. We see before us a Federal
building to cost s125, 10000 an armo-
ry about s%15,Oc0.O0; an E1ks building.
$12,000.00; additional sewers and wa
~terworks, costing $155 100000; City
Council and Fire Department build
ing, $40, 100000; a $50, 100000 wing to
the handsome barracks for the New
Mexico Military Institute, to cost
when completed s15O,OOO.00; the Mas
onic Temple is assured to cost fifty
thousand dollars; a new building is
being erected, costing $40, 100000,
into which this Club will move when
It is completed; and many other min
or improvements.
The above tells the tale of a live,
up-to-date, growing little city, which
at no distant date is destined to be
one Of the commercial centers of the
great Southwest. Shall we be satisfied
with the above? No. Let us be more
eager for greater things the coming

port, will do more tt keep Roswell
in the public Y in the North and
East and make things lively at home,
than any other thing 1 a name.
Think of it, Gentlemen. Nearly 200
members. The biggest and best of its
kind. Los Angeles, Calf, which
claims to have the best chamber of
one member of the chamber to every
124 inhabitants of the city; Ell Paso
has n member to every 149 inhab-
itants, while the Commercial Club of
Roswell has one member for every
81 inhabitants. Can any other city
make as good a showing? And then,
| every one of our members is alive
and wide awake and takes an inter
est in u affairs.
We will soon move into our new
quarters on Third street which will
be as comfortable and up-todate as
any club il the large cities.
Although our efforts in the past
have been barren of results towards
another railroad for Roswell, it has
only added impetus to III efforts
along this line, and we will never let
up until o can hear the whistle of
the locomotives on a new railroad in
to Roswell. Stick-to-it-iveness, coupled
with brains will at last surmount
seeming impossible difficulties, and
we are determined to accomplish
this desired result.

To enlarge our work in proportion

of EACH member to help increase our
membership, and add to the effective

cares to do business or live in a dead
town, and this Club, with proper sup.

We have now the largest member
ship of any commercial organization
that I know of, according to the pop
ulatiol. AS a prominent business man
who is a new arrival in u city, said
to me a few days g when he joined
this Club, you know / like this town
more thar any place I have ever been
in, as it has business men, farmers,
and il fact every one, is a booster
and pusher for the advancement OF
the city as well Is for their own bust
ness. In fact 1 have never seen a
place where there is such a general
public spirit"
We have many members, but we
want MORE, members who will lake
a deep interest il our work and are
ready to respond to every call. We
have some who can scarcely wait for
the Secretary to come around for
their dues, and some pay a years
dues in advance. such condition of
mind is worthy of universal imitation.
Nearly every citizen, who is so dis
posed, has the wherewithal to pay
$3.50 per month to carry on this work.
And why should not every one give
up, with joy, the small amount per
month, which, when punched in the
treasury of the Club, becomes worthy
of note and can be exchanged for
good, that will continue to attract the
h-omeseeker with money to invest in
our farm lands in this new country,
which is sure to grow; and the capt.
talist, with none seeking invest

at other less fortunate cities partially
clogs the wheels Of business; but for
us in Roswell, it will be the banner
financial year.
The business or unls I'll through
the agency of its Board OF Directors,
has beer most earnestly and carefully
looked after; they have given person

their own business.
