Investigation Is Begun.

Much correspondence on both sides
was produced after this and it came
out that in 1906 Mr. Hartman declined
to contribute to the republican con-
gressiOnal campaign fund on the
ground that it was useless for him to do
SC. 1t was not long after this that
the federal investigation of the lines
under his control was begun.

"Where Do ! Stand?"

It was in 1907 that Mr. Hartman
figured in a political controversy in
yolving the name of Theodore ROose-
Welt, then president. Through a dis
granted stenOghapher there was
brought to light a letter written by Mr.
Hartman to Sidney Webster, a lawyer,
in which Mr.. Hartman complained
that the Roosevelt administration had
not treated him fairly after he had
been instrumental in raising $225.000
Cor the campaign of 1904. The letter
closed with the now famous question:
Where do l stand?"
Mr. Roosevelt was greatly incensed
and came forth with a letter now
equally famous, which originated the
expression, undesirable citizen"
To strengthen his case, MI Harri-
man then produced a letter signed
Theodore Roosevelt and dated October
IA, 1904, two weeks before MI RoOse-
Ielt's election to the presidency in that
year. That letter with the word per
sonal' inscribed at the top suggested
that if Mr.. Hartman thought it un-
a-ise to visit the White House at that
time he defer his CALI to few weeks

down to discuss certain government
matters not connected with the cam

The relations between the Union Pa
CiEc and other connecting roads were

things, the Union Pacific bought 1OS,
401 shares of the preferred stock of the
Chicago & Alton road.
These shares had been deposited with
Kuhn, Loeb and company by their
owners and on an agreement authoriz-
ing the bankers to sell them to any
purchaser at such price and on such
toms as should be approved by Har
rIman and two others, Messrs. Stewart
and Mitchell.
Mr. Hartman was asked whether he
owned any of the stock so deposited
end how much, if any. BY advice of
council, he refused to answer Again
he was asked as to the Santa Fe
stock that had been bought by the
Oregon Short Line. He was asked if
that was part of the stock that had
keen acquired previously by him and
by two others.

Wool Market.
AS a wool market Roswell ranks
with any other market in New Mexico
During the season OF 1908, 100000
pounds OF wool we're shipped from
here to the markets and mills of the
north and east. In this connection it
may be set forth that Roswell has a
wool securing plant which permits the
putting on the market of a refined
clip and enables Roswell or Chaves
County wool growers to command top
prices for their product.
There is an alfalfa meal mill in Ros-
we'll with a capacity of three tons per
hour which enables Roswell alfalfa
growers to take every advantage of
the market.
Roswell has a free postal delivery
in the city and there are two rural
free delivery routes which take care
of the suburban population.
According to a statement made by
the Commercial club, Roswell is the
only town in New Mexico in which
100 percent of the taxes levied are col
lected and this applies to territorial,
city county and special and occupa-
ton taxes.
