ness of the country, and he gives
some of the reasons for this condition.
Through" freight constitutes a
great part of the country's traffic. A
reasonable share of such through
freight Is essential to the success of
the water system. Inland water
ways cannot prosper generally on
merely local trafic But the water
system. unorganized and divided as it
is by diversities OF channels and equip
ment, Is greatly at a disadvantage in
competition with the rail system for
this through traffic. For the rail sys-
tenn of the country Is standardized,
physically unified. and its control
largely centralized, and is thus we'll
adapted to hantile through freight.
The canals of the country illus
trate an extreme case of waterway

have been constructed. Over one
half of this mileage. costing more
than $50. .OO0, 900 has been abandoned

Department of Commerce and Labor
The Commissioner dilates in his let

while the United States has altogeth-

navigation of six feet depth and over
and more than 1000 miles OF canals
these totals are broken up into a large
number of unrelated parts by reason
of different depths and different con-

the floating equipment increases this
lack of organization. Many vessels
are built for special traffic or local
conditions. and are thus often not

ed TO a Record reporter her husband.
VIM. Garrett, formerly of Ballinger,
Texas. and then explained that they
were married last Christmas at Cor
pus Christi, Tex, where Miss Shanks
had been visiting for about six months
preceding that time. The announce
ment came as a surprise to the re
porter. and will be so to many of Miss
Shanks' friends in Roswell, some of
whom have been surmising that she
was married. She told only a few of
her marriage and formal announce
ment or newspaper notice of uhe
wedding had never been made in Ros-
well.
Mrs. Garrett, as she is now to be
called, came TO Roswell the first OF
May and her husband followed a
month later. He is now looking for
a location and may decide to remain
here. He went TO Clovis today on a
prospecting trip. At Ballinger he was
in the real estate business. Miss
Shanks was formerly a popular tele-
phone girl in Roswell and has many
friends who will join in extending
belated congratulations.

followed the Lincoln stage road to Pi-
cacho. Here we crossed the bridge
which spans the Hondo at this point.

there is a long smooth stretch of

the loveliest of mountain journeys.
1t is impossible to convey any clear
idea of the charm of this road to

traversed mountain ranges in various

the contrary one may deeply enjoy
the beauties of nature from an auto

enough.
As darkness overlook us we hasten

with which the Corralls received us.
