UNDERWRITERS INSPECTION
FINISHED BY Mr.. TERHUNE,

l.. Il. Ternune, who has been here
eleve days inspecting the city for
the Rocky Mountain Fire Underwrit-
ers' Association with a view of secur-
ing a new insurance rating for Ros-
well, has finished his work among
the business houses and town proper.
He went to Acme this morning to in
spect the big cement plants there
and will return tonight, for tomorrow
he ends his work here by finishing the
test of the city water works plant
and pressure.
Said Mr.. Terhune to the Record
this morning: Il win make a written
report with suggestions to either h
city council or the Commercial Club
within a snort time, but will give you
in advance the principal points to be
discussed in this report.
The worst things about Roswell
speaking from the fire insurance I'M
derwriters' standpoint, are its bad
electrical wiring. the peoples habit of
burning trash AT n rear of their
stores, and their bad habit of storing
gunpowder, gasoline and explosives
of all kinds in the business district.
| will say that some of the wiring In
stalled recently Is of a better charac-
ter than previously. but many of tie
buildings that have been wired for
some time have been in danger from
tlis point. l have put my foot into
many a hot ash Dec at the rear OF
stores since being here. The storage
of explosives in business houses and
warerooms is dangerous to life as
well as property. Metal flues should
be discouraged.
"All these Things could be rene
died by ordinance of the city council
and not only for the ctual saving in
dollars and cents in fire insurance
the people should have it for the pro
lection of their property. II is due
the property owners, themselves"

WEATHER MAY DELAY
MEN AT TuCUMCARl.

The cold snap and snow Of yester-
day win probably delay Alvin r. Nor
rison, OF Boston and Philadelphia, and
e. L. Bedell. secretary of the Com
mercial Club on their team and bug
gy trip to Tucumcari. commenced on
Thursday morning when the sun was
shining bright and the air warm. They
have no doubt reached Tucumcari be-
fore this time, but will remain there,
possibly, till the clouds roll by.
1t will be remembered hat Mr..
Morrison Is the representative of east
ern capital, looking for a suitable
place TO build a railroad, and that ne
and the club secretary are looking ov-
er a proposed route between Roswell
and Tucumcari. 1t will be noted by
some that the Record stated THURS
day that they We're going to CARR
zozo: but hat was a mistake. The
objective point of the trip Is Tucum-
carl. AS a closer connecting point
with the Dawson coal fields, Tucum-
carl is far superior to Carrizozo, and
at the same time gives the same con-
nection with the Rock Island rail
road.

verely hurt.
An escape from an awful catastro-
phe was remarkable. Had the broken
rail been fifty yards farther west, the
cars would nave been SEM down a
fifty-foot embankment. There We're

| which vas not overturned. The brok-

of the cars and carrying death with
il, coiled APP beneath the car in a con-
fused tangle. Scarcely a passenger
on the crowded train escaped some in

Attention Farmers!
Electric Power For Pumping.

Wi hout water your fertile valley lands are dormant,
fail to respond to most Industrious cultivation and con-
tinues to tenaciously hold the hidden wealth locked with
in the soil. With water the same fertile lands are no
longer dormant and no longer fail to respond to indus
trious cultivation, but will bring forth wealth in a most
generous manner. Golden fields of grain, green fields of
alfalfa and acres of orchard will appear where now the
lands are barren. This is the law of nature. To elevate
the water from its present level to the level OF your lands
at the lowest cost so the lands may be irrigated is the
problem confronting you. The solution of the problem
is the use of electric power for pumping.
Electric power is the cheapest power for pumping and
all power purposes for the farmer aud all power users.
h is not only the chea pest, but is the safest and the most
reliable and convenient power that can be used. In addi-
ton, it is the only power that can be applied directly at
the point where the power is wanted, viz: AT the pump
shaft, with direct connection TO the shaft saving the
large loss of power due to friction in betting, pulleys and
shafts. We are ready to demonstrate the truthfullness of
these statements to all corners.
We are prepared to furnish power for the irrigation
of 10000 acres of land the coming season and will in
crease our plant capacity as the business demands.
Lines will be extended for a distance of % miles from our
power plant where the business warrants the expense of
construction. We are not justified in mourning the cost
of line construction and other necessary expense unless at
least 5000 acres will use electric power. the coming
season.
We will not ask the farmer to subscribe for any of
our stock, or to contribute or donate to US, or to he at
any other expense than the cost of the line from the main
transmission line along the public highway over his prem

in such form as to follow the land regardless of change OF
ownership.
Those interested are requested to call at our office or
write, furnishing the following information:
a. Name and Post Office address.

co. Distance water is to be elevated.
% Distance from our power plant to land along
public highways.
49, Names and addresses of others who require and
now want power for pumping.
Remember it takes time to construct lines and make
installations and it is only a few months until you will
need the water. If you are interested you should act at
once.
