the meeting by the whole valley
outside of Roswell.
One of the interested specta.
tors of all the proceedings will
be Gov. George Curry, who in
his time knew every cowboy and
cOwman on the slope of the
Pecos, and has a way of remem-
boring all of them who still re
main. The governor has signi-
fled his intention of staying with
his staff, all through the sessions,
providing some new phase of the
statehood question does not re-
quire his presence at Washington.
The legislature will have been
some time adjourned at that time
and number of the members of
the assembly have also Signitied
their intention to be present. An
invitation has also been extended
to Clifford PinchOt, chief of the
forest service, to stop on his
return from his trip to the Pa
citic slope, and he has expressed
his intention of doing so if the
duties of his office permit it.
1t is already apparent that the
city of Roswell will be perfectly
to handle the five thou
sand visitors expected in the
city during the convention. All
of the hotels will extend the facil-
tiles as far as possible, and prac-
tically every home in the city of
5000 people will be thrown open
# necessary, at no increase of
The regular hotel rates. There
need be no fear in this respect
or adequate accommodation for
Ill who may come.

HEAVY TRANSACTIONS
IN IRON AND Steel
New Record of Sales, Mainly t,
the Railroads

NEW YORK. Oct. S1.-Another week
of heavy transactions in iron and steel
products has established new. record
of sales for October The output of bot h
pig iron and steel ingots has been the
heaviest ever known. Consumption of
finished steel products is also inereas-
ing. but it is difficult to determine to
what extent, as contracts are placed
largely for future delivery.
The railroads have continued TO be
the most important support of the steel
wrecks, placing very heavy orders for
rails, cars and locomotives last week
Interest was eentered mainly in the
New York Central purchases, which
included nearly 10000 cars, 1925 loco
motives and 10000 tons of rails
1t is estimated the railroads have
been responsible, either directly or i'm.
directly. for 100000 tons of finished
product orders in October. Manufac-
turing industries have placed orders
for semifnished and finished material
aggregating 100000 tons.

Endorsement and Indorsers

The Colored Mems nonpartisan
lea que has indorsed Francis J. Heney
for district attorney. Heney's name
omitted from the published list of cam
didates indorsed at a recent meeting
