to p arrangements Tor the eS-
hibit by Roswell and its adjacent ter
ritory. The original space allotted to
Roswell was IL by SO feet. This, how
ever, was not sufficient. Roswell has
subscribed $1,000 for the making up
of it's display at the exposition n
Mr.. Graham yesterday made arrange
ments for space 80 by so feet. This
space will be devoted exclusively to
the Roswell Commercial Clubs show
ing, and a display from Dexter, Of
| which Mr.. Graham will have charge
In addition, displays will come from
Carlsbad, Artesia, Hagerman and 9th
er points in the Pecos Valley, so that
it's representation will be very large
Mr.. Graham, whose position puts
him in close touch with public bust
ness in the valley, is enthusiastic ov-
er the rapid growth of Roswell and
the rosy outlook ahead of the Pecos
Valley.
Roswell" said MT. Graham yester-
day, sis growing very rapidly just
now. Business conditions are excellent
and our outlook is more bright than
at any time since the Pecos valley
began to develop. The citizens of Ros-
well have just completed raising a
$4,000 cash subscription which will
be applied as a bonus for the new AL
tus, Roswell and Ell Paso railroad.
now under construction and which
will eytend from Aims Okla where
connection is to be had with three
big railroad systems, to Ell Paso. Thir-
ty miles of the roa have been prac-
tically completed and construction of
the entire line is guaranteed without
delay. In addition to the casa bonus,
Roswell has contributed twenty &C
res of land for terminals, and right of
way through the city. We are now
considering a proposal from another
railroad company which apparently
means business, and when the New
Mexico Central extends to Roswell,
as we believe it will eventually, the
city will be supplied with the only
thing it has lacked in the past, ade-
quate transportation. When the new
railroad comes in Roswell will go on
a boom.
Even under present conditions the
valley is doing very well. In Roswell
we lave close to half a million dol
lars worth of building under way or
under contract. The Commercial
Club will move into a new building
at once, built especially for it. The
Elks are completing their building
and we have an armory and a govern
ment building coming up. Taking it
all the way through, we have no rea-
son to kick.
"The farming situation is excellent
We have the biggest apple crop of
recent years. l call to mind the case
of a single orchard which has sold
its crop ON the trees for $4,000. This
was made six weeks ago. The
stands to make $4,000 profit
ON this orchard alone. General farm
conditions are good.
1--WE propose to make a representa-
tive exhibit of fruits and truck at the
here. In addition to the
exhibit which will come from Roswell
and Dexter, of which I will have the
Hagerman, Artesia and Carls
bad will send frst-class exhibits, SO
hat the Pecos valley will have no rea
son to feel ashamed of the showing
It will make.
THE attendance from our section
If New Mexico will be very large, as
is the deepest interest in the
congress M a general feeling that it
will accomplish a great deal for the
.erritory."
Mr.. Graham will return here on
20 with the Roswell ex
,ibit n will stay here during the
