is the largest and he considers it the
best in the Territory. Notwithstand-
ing this the need, and a crying need
it is, for a properly equipped High
, School building is so great that II
should be erected at once. The ques-
ton Of location, said Mr.. Rodgers, is
a secondary one. The chief need is
the building, and he would appeal to
the boosters to aid in this work.
Following Prof. Rodgers, the Rec
ord's business manager, C. E. .SMason
was introduced as representing the
leading newspaper of Roswell

ing. He considered it of great impor.
tance, and especially concerted boost
ing such as was obtained through the
Commercial Club.
F. C. Hunt, of the 'Wigwam," had
been assigned the subject: 'Skidoo
the Knocker," and he did the subject
full justice, being in humorous
mood. Mr.. Hunt defined a knocker as
a person with a crouch at everything
and everyone, including himself. He
advised that the knockers of Roswell
be presented with a schedule of the
P. V. line and be advised to use it,
and if this be not satisfactory to take
the first auto out.
j. B. Eldredge, new booster, spoke
on ''Sprinklng." He gave the result
of some experiences elsewhere IN
dealing with dust, and said he believ-
ed that two sprinklings daily would
entirely relieve the dust nuisance and
that this could be done at compare
lively little cost. In Boise, Idaho, this
had been tried and the dust entirely
subdued at the cost OF six cents per
front foot per year, and he believed
this could be successfully worked
here in Roswell. Mr.. Eldrefge paid
a high tribute to the climate and ma
terial conditions of Roswell, and stat
ed that his being here was evidence
of the sincerity of his statements.
A general cleaning up of the town
was advocated by the speaker. He
believed that such work would lower
the death rate and greatly increase
the well being of our people. He would
recommend that refuse from the sta
bles be removed at least once in two
weeks, and he believed that so doing
would relieve us of the fly nuisance.
Mr.. Eldredge made a good talk and
was frequently applauded.
His idea of a general cleaning up
is in line with the policy advocated
by the Record within the last few
would result from carrying out this
plan. Especially just before the Cat
tlemen's Convention would it be wise
to do this work, so that our guests
may be greeted by a Cleaner Roswell.
George M. Slaughter, who so sue
|ceSsfully managed the local end of the
Cattlemen's Convention two years "a
go, spoke on the much needed road to
the east. He told of the many people
in that section of the country, and
across the line in Texas, who would
prefer to deal in Roswell, but were,

BOOSTERS BANQUET
A GREAT SUCCESS

B cost, boost boost,
o inward push Roswell along.
o would that the world could hear us,
S inging our valleys song.
L ry, trust, triumph,
E nterprise finds here its hub,
r oSweu becomes HGreater Roswell,
S faithful its Boosters Club.
Another Boosters Banquet has
come and gone, and with revived and
enthused spirits the Boosters of the
Commercial Club OF Roswell have
started on another campaign for the
betterment of the Roswell we now
have, and the building Of a Greater
Roswell. The air pervading the an
nual banquet of the Boosters was dis
tinctly encouraging and optimistic. Il
was a genuine Boosters banquet from
the first to the last word.
Considerably over a hundred of the
business and professional men of ROs-
well gathered at the Grand Central
Hotel at nine O'Clock last night for
concerted and united effort at boost
ing. The tables were arranged in the
form of the letter "U'' the toast
master, President Kellahin of the
Commercial Club, being seated at the
table forming the connecting link, the
boosters being arranged both on the
inside and outside of the 'U".
President Kellahin made an admir-
able presiding officer. introducing
each and every one of the speakers
with appropriate remarks, interspers-
ed with genial and good natured jests,
such as do So much toward creating
an atmosphere of cordiality and gai-
ety.
The banquet proper, the eating
part, was fully up to the occasion and
did great credit to Mine Host Man
ming. The service was excellent and
even with so large attendance there
were no long delays. The banquet TN
doubtedly did much towards bringing
together the members of the CONNER
cial Club and renewing them in their
determination to work together for
the advancement of Roswell and tie
Pecos Valley generally. The spirit Of
boosting was everywhere apparent
and there was not a speech made m
which it was not the dominant note.
Indeed, it would have. been impossi-
BILE for it to be otherwise there not
being a single member of the much
despised knockers Club" present.

w. A. Johnson, President of the
Roswell Hardware Company and Chair
man of the Committee having in hand
the entertainment and management of
the Cattlemen's Convention, had been
assigned the Convention as his sub
ject. He told of the securing of the
Convention for Roswell at the Amaril-
10 meeting and the difficulties encount
cred by the local committee which
made the trip there. 1t was the desire
of his committee to entertain the con-
vention so that it would return again
to Roswell. The cowmen liked Roswell
and he believed that if the proper eff
fort be made and the committee be
properly supported, that this could be
done.
Mr.. johnson made an earnest ap-
peal for support for his committee.
Every business man, every profession
al man, every citizen, should be inter
ested in the success Of the convention
and should gladly give their support

REPUBLICAN, DLssRNSTON

In the consideration Of the tariff bill in
the Senate some Of the Republican Sena-
tors are making vigorous passes at their
brothers in and out Of that body.
What the ''progressives" construed as an
effort on the part of Senator Aldrich to
read them out Of the Republican party led
to an animated debate in the Senate on
Monday last, in the course of which there
were several sharp clashes between the
chairman Of the finance committee and
Senators Beveridge. Dolliver and-Cummins
These Senators declined to be located
outside the Republican reservation. Mr..
Beveridge asserted that insisting upon
revision of the tariff in accord with the
party's promise was not anti-Republican-
ism. while Mr.. Cummins told Mr. Aldrich
that no man in the Senate could put him
out of the party
Mr.. Aldrich denied that he had any such
purpose in view. but some Of his comments
upon the course pursued by the progress
sives" was accepted by them as the ex-
