IT'S A GOOD MOVE.

| From Albuquerque Citizen.
The meeting called for Friday night
by local business men for the purpose
of conducting a trade excursion into
the country adjoining the Belen cut
off ald the Pecos valley, is a move
in the right direction.
1t should be carried through to com
pletiOn in as short a time as possible.
Other cities and towns are already in
the field and we must hustle if we
want to KEEP up with the procession.
There is no richer trade field in the
southwest than the one just opened
up by the Santa Fe's new line, and
every dollar expended by our local
business men to bring that trade to
this city will come back an hundred
fold and better. One who has not yet
made the trip over the cutoff cannot
realize that there are now thousands
of prosperous farmers all along the
line raising crops on what was con
sidered range a few years ago.
These men are progressive Ameri-
past the time now when we can doubt
the success of dry farming in a coun-
try where the average rainfall is over
twenty inches. The farmers of Roose-
welt and Quay counties are already
established and within a few years
the land they have homesteaded will
be worth forty and fifty dollars an
acre. Some of il can not be bought
for that today. The men in that dis
trict are not Daupers seeking a living.
They are weIl-equipped farmers, who
sold good lands in Missouri, Nebras-
ka, Kansas and Oklahoma to come to
New Mexico and farm on a larger
scale
Their trade amounts to as mucn
as we now receive from the Rio
Grande valley, and when we consider
that from Texico north, Albuquerque
is the logical place for them to trade,
it is apparent that we ought to make
every effort in our power to induce
them to come here
1t is to be hoped that the business
men at the meeting Friday night will
evolve plans to go after this trade
and the friendship of the men who
are going TO make themselves felt in
New Mexico affairs from this day on.

Mrs. Ethel &. Dietrich Dead.

Mrs. Ethel E. Dietrich, wife of B

should arouse our women, it is tie
interest of our schools. And while we
cannot vote, we can influence others
for good or evil. And as it is the vote
that counts, our schools can fall into
the hands of men without principle
or intelligence, who sacrifice home
and family for greed and self7gratifi-
cation, and who have not the least
conception OF what a school should
be, and who are ready at any time
to use this privilege for the carving
of their own advantage. l will cite
which OF the twenty aldermen every
one but three were owners Of Or sa-
loon keepers. Two of the three were
landlords Of houses of ill-fame, and
the other was man who was pub
licly known to regard his word as al
ways second to greed of qualification.
And the voters wio nominated and
elected these officers nominated and
elected the officers of the schools for
that city. Can anyone conceive Of a
greater cdldIIlliy Iudl 10 nave even
our small number of aldermen to be
of that class and handle the reins
of our lovely city?
And yet such has been the case
elsewhere. 1t can occur again, unless
as citizens we arouse. So it appears
to woman who has the interest of
our town at heart.
Prayers are good, and without them
life would not be worth living; reso-
lutions have their influence; even
boycotting as recommended by our
is sometimes necessary,
though poor panacea and short
lived. Still what Roswell needs just
now is a few less prayers of no avail,
a few less resolutions to he thrown
into the waste basket. Let the prayers
and resolutions be cast into the bal
lot box where they are sure to count.
Ever for the good of Roswell.
MRS. ROSE WETMORE.

LOBsTERS FOR EUROPE
A Consignment of Live Ones Sent Over
on the Kaiser Wilhelm.

New York, May 27.-An invasion Of
European waters by the American lob
ster has been begun. When the Kaiser
Wilhelm II steamed for Europe she
carried in her fish tanks three hundred
choice specimens of the lobster species.
The trip will determine whether they
can be kept alive until they are land
ed in Europe. II they are able sue
cessfully to undergo the voyage, there
is good reason to believe a new indus
try will be the result. At the present
the lobster is only obtained along GER
tain portions of the European coast,
and for the most part difficult of ac-
cess. and an invasion of the American
lobster is likely to be greeted with JOY
by the epicures of the continent. The
Kaiser Wilhelm's tanks have pipe at
tachments which supply fresh water
with pure air byi<a patented process
and the fact that~fish have been easily
kept alive in them throughout Trans
atlantic voyage leads to- belief that
Holsters will be similarly preserved.
Another experiment which the
Kaiser has undertaken is that OF trans
ferring two hundred live frogs to Ger

German markets They were taken
from New Jersey swamps ana VIII be

COMES TO AN END.
A $1O.OOO.OOO Mining Corporation in
Which $3.50 900 Was Sunk.

Chicago, May 27.-The Tribune today
says:
The Amador Mining and Development
company. of Montana. s10,000,000 cor
poration with headquarters at Chicago
has come OF an end. Letters that will
be mailed today will inform 1,400 stock
holders that the copper-gold mine in
which they have sunk $650,000 is worth
less. 7l1' los - -
The majority of stock was owned by
residents of Chicago.
There also are a large number of
stockholders in Pfttsburg where the
company had a branch office and in
Boston.
D. E. MacKinnon, secretary and gen.
eral manager organized the company
and doomed the stock sales for five
years. A year ago he departed to Bos-
ton where he opened a branch office
and since that time he has spent only
one day in Chicago. Inquiries made by
the stockholders committee resulted in
information that Mr.. MacKinnon had
left Boston for some place In Maine,
the exact location of which all efforts
have failed to establish.
The stockholders were considering a
proposition to purchase MacKinnon's
half interest in the mine for $50 900.
They already had paid him 1000 fer
an option on the property.
The president of the company is
William Surman of CarlinYille. I'll.
George LilI. Chicago coal dealer, is
vice president: Robert M. Mailer is
treasurer, and T. d. Fuller assistant
secretary. The investigation Of the
mine was conducted by a committee
headed by Mr.. Lii.
In the six years life of the company,
it is alleged, total of only five cars
of ore was taken from the mine.
MacKinnon, who came originally
from North Yakima, Wash, arrived in
Gated on Cedar creek, near Amador.
Missoula county, Montana, MacKinnon
having staked out three claims in the
neighborhood while he was practicing
law at Wallace, Idaho ff
The promoter opened up modest Of
| fees at first but eventually worked up
| to sumptuous suite in the Teutonic
| building. Two million shares of stock
we're issued. MacKinnon keeping $780,
| 900, and $4,000 being sold at large.
All but MacKinnons stock finally was
| pooled, and the owners have peen I'M
| able to dispose of it.
| A few months after MacKinnOn de-
parted for Boston Mr.. Lill and other
! Chicago stockholders engaged F. Cush-
| ing Moore, a mining engineer at WAL
| lace, Idaho, to make a thorugh ex-
animation of the properties.
| The engineer reported in letter
dated May last that the mining
property is absolutely worthless and
| that further development of it would
| only increase the already gigantic sum
| standing on the debit side of the
| Amador account
| The engineer said that over $500
| 900 had been squandered" on the
property, and that the only chance OF
| recovering any of this was in the sale

was commercially valueless.

reports of Engineer Moore and of G

TRINITY J. IS FALLING 1! {
Worst of the Texas Flood Seems to
Have Passed.

Dallas, Tex, May 27-After doing dam
age of over one million dollars drowning
at least three persons and rendering 5000
persons in Dallas homeless, the Trinity
river today is falling slowly. 1t is believ-
ed that when the water has receded it
will be found that that the number OF
deaths will be increased.
All of the worknen who were carried
down with the Texas and Pacific bridge
yesterday have not been accounted for.
Frank Edwards lost his life last night
by falling into the back water on Mckin-
ney avenue in the heart of the residence
district Dallas business men are raising
funds to succor the. distressed and home
less. The city is still without lights and
water. the plants being inundated. A
few street cars are being operated by the
power furnished by private companies. All
the railroads are practically tied up. but
few trains being able to enter or leave
Dallas.
The river fell four feet during the
night and 1t Is thought the worst
of the flood is over.
The monetary damage in the city
OF Dallas alone will reach one mil
lion dollars. This does not include
the damage sustained by the rail-
roads leading into the city This, 1t is
estimated, will reach another million.
