meetings will be held in the big Audi
torium on the grounds of the Alaska
Yu~kon-Pacific exposition.
Through Acting Governor M. E. Hay
the governors of all the states will be
asked to be in attendance at the Con
gress. Such men a Andrew Carnegie
Clifford Pinchot, Frederick Weyerffaus-
er and others have already been ex-
tended Invitations to participate in
the Congress and according to c. II.
Baily, Secretary of the Conservation
Association, the convention will be the
biggest thing of it's kind ever held in
the United States saving that of the
Congress of Governors called by the
president a year ago.
The Washington Conservation Asso-
citation has engaged Ashel Curtis to
go through the state and take a series
of conservation photographs that, It
is expected, will be second to none in
the world. These will be exhibited in
the exposition auditorium during the
Congress. The views will include for
estry, fisheries, irrigation and other
phases of conservation work such as
have heretofore never beer assembled
in the West.
Chambers OF commerce, CONNER
cial clubs and other organizations in
the state will be asked to name Off
cial delegations to attend the Con-
gress, and through Lieutenant Cover
nor Hay, the governors of the states
will be asked to name delegates.
Something reminds a person of
something he has read about, usually
something of a strange land people5
by a still stranger race strange since
their religion, customs and manners
differ from our always facinates one.
An international exposition brings
together for a few short months the
races of the world. All worship, for
the time being at the shrine of the
dear public And then commences the
worldwide exodus for the show is
over, the gates are closed and Occi-
dent says goodbye to Orient. But
commercial intercourse continues and
preserves the good will OF both.
The Oriental flavor of the exposi-
ton is essential, so at the Alaska-Yu-
kon Pacific Exposition the elephant
from Bombay will tread the paved
streets of the Pay Streak, the camels
will fight against the loads of pleasure
seekers piled on their backs by the
willing Turk and the something you
have read about, the something you
longed to sci will be there.

nd the proper equipment all but the

and the proper equipment all but the
barn might have been saved.
Yes, we agree that the fire came at
an unfortunate time, for in a few
months the city water supply is to De
extended along Michigan avenue
when it would be possible to save the
property quite easily. We feel, how
ever. that it was much more unfortu-
nate that the fire department was moi
prepared for the emergency when it
came. The necessary equipment
might have been, and should have
been at hand, for fires do not wait IN
the extensions of water systems.
The expense of needed improvements
bear an insignificant ratio to the loss
to the town by the destruction of its
property and TO the loss of it's citi-
zens by the destruction of their homes
Why should not Roswell, as many an
other town of it's size, have a suffic-
iently prepared and equipped fire de-
paItment to protect her citizens frort
the loss of their property? In home
and property, the citizens deserve not
the least necessary, but h greatest
possible protection. Why should
there not have been, n why shoul
there not be, the proper cooperation
between the city authorities and those
who oversee the training of the fire
men and the equipment of the depart
ment to make property secure in the
fullest degree possible? If such a
movement is now on foot why SHOULD
it not be hastened in order to pro-
tect other Roswell homes and proper
ty? 1t is to be hoped that the citi-
zens of Roswell have learned through
the recent example of inefficiency that
immediate action is necessary so that
when future CONGREGATIONS come, as
come they will, there NAV be as little
damage as possible. The old adage,
"a stitch in time saves nine" seems
quite appropriate in this case. A lit
tie expenditure for the department
may save much for the city and 70:
her citizens.
/ doubt not that most of the inhabi-
tants of Roswell are DESTROYS of see
ing improvement. Why, then, do you
not use the columns of your city pa
pers in showing your attitude and
thus in~courageing the administration
in such improvements as may be IN
templated?

DEXTER COUPLE ARE
MARRIED HERE SATURDAY,

+. l.. Mehlhop, a popular young
farmer at Dexter, N Miss Fife Brad
ley, one of the bellies of that town,
drove to Roswell Saturday afternoon
reaching here late hat evening, and
after considerable trouble in finding
the deputy recorder, R. F. Ballard, Sc
cured marriage license and were mar
ried. The wedding took place at The
Gilkeson and DIR. w. C. Alexander,
pastor OF h Presbyterian church,
was the officiating minister. The cou
pie spent Sunday and Monday in Ros-
well and drove home today. They will
make their home near Dexter.
While the wedding had been antici-
pated by their friends, the couple sur
prised all at the last minute. The
BRIDES parents, two brothers n sis
ter were preparing to move from
Dexter to their old home in Winfield,
Kansas, and the couple decided that
they would not separate. The Bra1-
ley family passed through this morn
ing on their way east and the bride
and groom received congratulations
and parental blessing at the station.
The couple has many friends and all
wish them a happy married life.

Observations of on Eye Witness.


AT the outset | wish it clearly I'M
derstood that the following remarks
are not made in any spirit of unfriend-
1y criticism. They are made rather
with the best of good will hoping that
their suggestions may assist in bring

broke out, 1 write as one of those
who saw failure where there might
have been success.
When the fire was discovered burst
ing forth from the barn, those pres
ent and those rapidly gathering did
all possible to keep the flames from
the house. But a few minutes suficed
to show that this was impossible
without a supply of water, and the re-
of safety was begun. All hope now
rested in he fire department which
most of h people expected would
be able to save at least most of the
house from destruction. There were
ever those in the crowd who said, 'It
is all fooliShneSS to remove a thing
from the house, as the firemen will
soon be here and will make quick
work of subduing the flames" How
ever, quite fortunately, the work went
on. At last the belated fremen ap-
peared upon the scene only to find
their hose insufficient to reach the
nearest supply of water. More time
was then lost in securing additional
hose, which because of ill-fitting coup
lings was useless. By this time both
house and barn had been burned to

fire alarm might as well not have been
turned in at all. Thus a home within
the city limits was destroyed, when
