A LETTER TO A KENTUCKY
PAPER ABOUT ROSWELL.
Roswell. N. M. Feb.

Roswell, N. M, Feb. %, 1909.
Editor Republican, have been a
~sojourner in this little city for a
month, and we have found every
thing 20 different from the ways of
living and methods of farming in old
Kentucky, hat l undertake to give
your readers, among whom 1 have ma
ny friends, a brief account of my OBJ
servations n Impressions of this Pc
culiar western country, in he hope
that 1t may interest them to learn
about other ways than their W for
extracting wealth from the soil, and
conditions different from their, in 9TH
er parts of our country.
Roswell is a very pretty little city
with perhaps 1000 Inhabitants, most
ly level, with first class cemen side
walks and a profusion of shade trees
and grassy awns. The residences
are mostly one story frame, in tasty
styles of architecture, and not crowd
ed together too closely for beauty or
comfort. The business part is close
ly built up of mostly two story build
ings, some brick, and some of cement
blocks, in imitation of stone. Some
of the dwellings are of cement blocks
also, q some are built of adobe
which is merely dried clay, in tho
shape and size of large overgrown

bricks. And strange as it may e to
Kentuckians, or the people of any
rainy, freezing country, many of the
adobe homes are really neat, beauti-
full in appearance and durable. The
tight, thick walls keep in the cool
of summer and keep out the cold in
winter. Houses of this material are
used by some well-to-do Americans,
and not alone by the Mexicans who
transmitted that style to us. We have
greatly improved upon the Mexican
pattern so as to make a neat adobe
house respectable. There are Next
can living in the city, but they are
to themselves in a locality called Chi
huahua, in the same spirit that the
negro settlement in the eastern part
of Hartford is, or used to be called
"Hayti."
The city a. a whole surpasses any
/ have ever e in neatneSS and
home like beauty No grandeur nor
magnificence has been attempted in
buildings for either residence or bust
ness, beauty and comfort are consid-
cred Of first Importance The city is
in the head of the artesian belt that
is several miles wide, and extends
down the Pecos Valley an indefinite
distance, perhaps hundreds of miles.
North Spring River is a good sized

rises out of the ground near the city,

run the pump, which when started,
will go without further attention, till
you get all the water that is needed.
This method of cultivation is highly
landed by those who are following it.
They are not harassed by the nicer
tainty as to whether the clouds will
pass around or over them. No damage
or destruction Of crops On account Of
too much rain-no slow ruin of green
fields by long dry spells that make the
heart sick at sight Of burnt meadows
and twisted corn blades. They do not
depend on rain; and they are never
disappointed. BY irrigation they get
what they consider better than rains,
because they can control the moisture
and apply just as much is is needed
just when and where it is needed. If
potatoes need rain when alfalfa, close
by does not it as asy to arrange as it
is to feed a hungry man n let one
that is not hungry go unfed.
During our stay in Roswell (my
wife is with me) we have the pleasure
of being with relatives and former
Ohio county neighbors. We are guests

ing here, and the parents of BOTH

BIG CROWD SEES
NEW STORE OPEN
Dan Myers New Store Opened This
Afternoon And is Welcome
Addition to Town.

At five o'clock this afternoon the
doors of new store, one Of the finest
in the southwest, we're thrown open
in Vinita. This was the store of Dan
Myers. at the corner of Canadian
avenue and Wilson street, and is a
store that all vinita takes pride in
welcoming to this city.
For weeks Mr.. Myers has been
busy preparing his great store for
this opening, and the result Of his
labors were evident today He has
one of the best arranged stores to be
found in any city Of many times Vim
ita's size, and has a stock Of goods
that would astonish many merchants
in the new state.
The building In. which the new
store is located was built especially
for this store and Is ideally arranged.
On both Wilson street and Canadian
avenue are large display windows and
these were artistically arranged--in
fact they were so attractive that one
could well imagine one was viewing
the windows Of one Of the mammoth
stores in the cities. A mechanical
device in the north window. showing
a machine shop in operation, was one
Of the most attractive features In the
display window.
The formal opening Of the store
came too late for the Chieftain to
give full account but great crowd
is seeing the new store. throughout,
this afternoon.

SNAKE TRIAL TO Be
MADE A TEST CASE
One of the Creek Indian Band viii
Surrender to state-compIiment
to vinita Attorneys.

The case of the state VS.. the Snake
Indians, for the defense of which
Parker & Rider, attorneys of this
city have been engaged, will be of
great interest all over Oklahoma.
It will be the states contention that
the band of Creek Indians, known as
the Snakes, are responsible for the
death of Deputy Sheriff Baum, of
Checotah, early last spring, during
the Snake uprising, or Smoked Meat
Rebellion" as it has been called. 1t
is understood that one of the Snakes
win surrender to the officers, in or
der that test case may be made Of
the affair. The decision in that case
will likely settle the whole matter
which has been source of regret to
the whole state.
The engagement of Parker & Rider
for this case is considered a fitting
compliment and recognition of the
ability Of that firm as attorneys.

When asked why he did not imme-
diately give the full details of his
achievement Dr. Cook replied it had
never been the custom of the ex-
plorers to make their full records pub
lie, in haste, and that in fact the
scientific societies are not remarkable
for rapidity in coming to conclusions.
Dr. Cook said that the Danish au-
thorities in Greenland had been for
four months in possession of his re-
anu lndl lAAC 1JHAAiDA 6Of AAAAAChb
and the University of Copenhagen,
as we'll as the Danish Geographical
Society, have taken over virtual guar

ticity of his records. in justice to
Denmark, then it is my intention to
place the first completed record Of
my polar journey at the disposal Of
the University of Copenhagen" said
the explorer.
DR.. Cook said that he pre-
ferred, for the preesnt, to believe the
statements which had been attributed
to Peary are incorrect. Harry Whit
ney, who has complete knowledge Of
all the facts" said DR.. Cook, will re-
turn to America about the middle Of
October. He is at entire liberty to
