doing along that line. At Albuquerque
in addition to the amount appropriate

raised $4,000, and the result would
be a most creditable armory and pub

plan were followed here in Roswell,
not only would the local militia COM

could be used for conventions as
Albuquerque will use the armory to
be built there for a convention hall

Col. Wilson was followed by Gov

Mr.. Ruppe that Albuquerque was the
best town in New Mexico, outside of
Roswell. The armory bonds, said the
Governor, would be sold when the ii

either side to win two ordinary
games, the total on the score book

runs all through the game, but the
sixth inning was the worst, when they
piled up FIVE. The town boys made
three early in the game, but could do
nothing more until the last, when a
batting streak and loose playing on
the part of the cadets brought in FIVE

four battle ships be provided for in
the naval appropriation bill, that
body will not be likely to authorize
more than two this session.
THE naval committee will make
provision in the naval bill for only
two battle ships" said Senator Hale,
chairman of the committee on naval
affairs, in an interview. THAT num-
iber is sufficient, and there is a possi-
bility that only one will be provided
for. There is a strong sentiment at
both ends of the capitol in favor of
only one ship, although as l said be-
fore the appropriation will probably
be made for two, but no more"
Democratic Leader John Sharpe
Williams said that more than two
thirds of the Democrats wonld vote
against four battle ships, and the Re-
publican leaders appear confident
that at least half the Republicans
will do likewise.

Lake was swept away, together with
all the belongings of the families of
thirty employees. A number of hous-
washed away.
The break in the dam, according
to Manager Berry, was caused by the
"buckling of steel plates near the

electric power for smelters and manu-

A special from Wolf Creek this at

forty buildings in the place, including
a half dozen stores, the Great North:

would put in the bill an item of
hundred thousand dollars for a build
ing at Roswell, but that he believed
40 building bill would be passed.
Recently, however, Delegate Andrews
had written to him that such a bill
would be passed, and he was going
to Washington to look after New
Mexico's interests in that bill, and
also to advocate that the unsurveyed
lands in New Mexico be surveyed so
that the 100000 set aside for the
schools could be located.
Governor Curry also said that he
believed that if Roswell could secure
another railroad that a military post
would be located here within a few
years. The army was going to be
greatly Increased and a regimental
and perhaps a brigade post could, he
thought, be secured for Roswell
The Governor then dwelt on the
great advancement which is taking
place in New Mexico. There existed
a general era of prosperity, and the
Pecos Valley was keeping just a lit
tie ahead of the general procession.
The Governor concluded by calling
upon Attorney General Hadley. of
Missouri, who, he said, would proba
bly, be the next governor of Mis-
souri,.
Mr.. Hadley responded, first thank
ing the citizens of Roswell for the
many courtesies extended TO him.
The people here had shown a public
spirit, spirit called in Missouri the
kansas City Spirit, and which he
believed would make Roswell a town
of $4,000 people in ten years. He had
noticed that there were many Missou-
rians here. some of them making mo
ney and some of them holding office.
He spoke of the noted march of Col.
Doniphan's Missouri volunteers thru
New Mexico in the war with Mexico.
Mr.. Hadley said that he had been
greatly impressed with the Pecos Val
ley and believed it had great oppor
tunities before it. There was here a
combination of soil, climate and wa
ter that was ulrivaled The great
need of New Mexico was to become
a state, and he believed a continue
ton of the spirit he had seen here
would shortly bring that to pass. A
state government would enable the
people to handle matters of transpor-
tatiOn and of combinations that could
be handled ii no other way. During
the course of his talk, Mr.. Hadley
told several stories and showed that
the reputation as a speaker that had
preceded him, was fully deserved.
Captain Penn, who is here inspect
ing the Military Institute, was called
upon and told of the early days in
New Mexico when he was stationed
at Fort Stanton. Speaking of the Mil
itary Institute he said that he had
found no place where such support
of the schools by the public existed
as he had found in Fs9sweH for the
Military Institute. The cadets need
fear no comparison in close order
inspected
J. w. Lyman, of Kansas City, in
response to call, spoke a few words
predicting a great future before the

cheer. A general social time then en-
