The statement from Dr. Yandell
published in yesterday's Herald is
worthy of confidence. It shows the
true state of affairs about the small pox
situation here. It corroborates what
the Herald has said from the first
that there is at present no ground for
alarm but that unle?s proper precau-
tions be taken the situation might get
more serious. Dr.Yandell shows that in
more than three months there have
been only thirty cases and five deaths
in all. Nearly all the cases have been
among unvaccinated persons and the
record is a most reassuring one to all
those who have had the idea that this
city was Infested with the disease. The
city administration has at last taken
up the matter of adopting suitable pre-
cautions against the spread of the dis-
ease but it only moved when forced to
do so by the growing and overwhelm-
ing public sentiment. It is time to stop
and think when reputable physicians
can get up in a' public meeting and
score the administration of the city
health department as some of the
speakers did the other night. Under
the new re (rime it is to be expected
that steps will be immediately taken
and persisted in by which the spread
of the disease wLl be arrested and all
traces of it eradicated from the city.
The Herald has been persistent In
urging just this course and our belief
Is that If this action bad been taken
six weeks earlier most of the trouble
would have been avoided.
oerns send out to up. Picked men are
sent out here experts skilled laborers
masters of men. The Interests of the
east are closely bound up with those
of the great west and the bond has
been so strengthened during the past
few years that any suggestion that
this bond be weakened in the future
will surely discredit the man who ut
ters it.
THE PECOS VALLEY.
The impression has pone abroad that
a fairly prominent scar on the arm is
a sure sign that the person is immune
to smallpox. This is a mistake as has
been 6hown in numerous cases. Every
person young and eld in the city owes
it to himself and to the community to
get vaccinated at once unless vaccina
tion has been undergone within the
vear.
Brooklyn recently borrowed SI-
725000 at 3 per cent interest and four
teen times that amount was offered.
Money plentiful seeking investment at
low rates that means prosperity.
IT Is only a few years ago that a few
demagogues with little to recommend
them to public attention but abnormal-
ly developed mouths attempted to turn
the west against the east and create a
sectional war which might have hurt
this great nation immeasurably. Their
arguments were astounding to true
Americans and after the first sur-
prise had passed the better element in
the nation aroused to anger arose in
mass and protested against this
treasonable propaganda. It must be
clear at this time to every thinking
man that the west could no more get
along without the east than the east
could live without the west. Every
day in Boston New York and other
great financial centers of the east
great companies are formed to exploit
and develop the Immense natural re-
sources of the west. And it is not
alone the money which eastern con-
Tiiere is no danger of an epidemic
here if everybody will get vaccinated
at once. It is a duty on the part of
every one that should not be omitted
on any account.
Municipal government ought to be
conducted like any other great busi-
ness and the people will sooner or
latr come to recognize this fact.
Rev. Dr. Pabkiiurst thinks we
are acquiring too much territory. No
doubt the doctor has his hands full
with New York.
Many people who are dying of brok
en hearts merely require treatment
for dyspepsia.
Millions of dollars are being spent
this year on railway extensions and
Improvements. That doesn't look like
hard times.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
cannot get a better price for it?
Ana. As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better so that while our profits may
be smaller on a single eale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
if both articles are brought promin
ently before the public both are cer
tain to be tried ana tbe public will
very quickly pass judgement on them
and use only the better one.
Ibis explains the large sale on
Chamberlani's Cough Remedy. The
people cave been using It for years ana
have found that it can always be de-
pended upon. They may occasionally
take up with some fashionable novelty
forth with exaggerated claims but are
certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to be reliable and for
coughs colds and croup there is noth
ing equal to Chamberlani's (Jough Re-
medy. For sale by all druggists.

Over its undulating plains' roamed

Pains in the chest when a person has
cold indicate a tendency toward
pneumonia. A piece of flannel dam
pened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm

of pain will promply relieve the pain

pneumonia. This same treatment will
cure a lame oacK in a lew nours.

Pecos Valley seeking a land where
tbev could conblne at will water sun-
shine and fertile soil the essential ele-
ments of nature In tbe production of
crops. Here at Roswell they found tbe
nappy conbicatlon and time has well
proved tbe wisdom of their choice.
f rom Roswell to the south extends a
valley as fertile as the Nile. These
ntrepid pioneers labored diligently
and succeeded in diverting the streams
from their natural courses by means
of dams and through systems of canals
conveyed tbe waters to tbe fertile
lands. Thus occurred the first ex
periment in irrigation in the Pecos
valley in the year 1879.
A journey through the farming dis
trict will show avenues of shade trees
milesin extent overarching the road-
ays. On eltber sideof these avenues
are verdant fields of grain sugar beets
vegetables and thousands of acres of
waving alfalfa on which browse mag-
nificent herds of as fine Hereford and
Durham cattle as can be found in tbe
United States splendid flocks of Mer-
ino and Shropshire 6heep and hogs
witnout limit ol number. All these
live and thrive on alfalfa the one per-
fect forage plant of the universe and
contentment peace and plentitude.
Among the varied industries of this
valley the most profitable and exten
sive is stock farming on alfalfa. Un-
der proper service of irrigation it will
produce five to eight tons of hay per
acre or twice that amount of feed un-
der pasture. One acre of alfalfa will
support for a year four head of cattle
or twenty head of sheep or hogs.
There are about twenty-five hundred
acres of sugar beets planted in the
valley this year which will yield an
average of twelve tons perhaps and
tbe farmers are paid $4 per ton at tbe
railway station by the factory now in
operation at Eddy. A muoh larger
Bugar factory is now being capitalized
by the firm of Willett & Gray sugar
promoters of New York City which
will be established In Roswell in the
near future.
Every variety of grain is produced
here at least expense and with abso-
lute certainty of yield under irriga-
tion. . Vegetables of all kinds are
grown here to perfection and celery
ra'sed here under Irrigation brings
superior prices in the eastern markets
over that raised by any other method
in any other country.
It has been said and veritably pro-
ven that tbe Pecos Valley is tbe ideal
location for .the apple orchard. Our
apples are perfect in size color and
flavor and tbe standing reward of SL-
000 for a wormy apple has remained
unclaimed for fifteen years and during
that time not a single failure of crop.
Peaches plums pears and
cherries do equally well but fre-
quently are killed by blooming too ear-
ly. Tbe Pecos Valley Orchard Co.
have five hundred acres standard
winter apples now bearing the trees
for which were furnished by Stark
Bros. of Missouri who own an interest
in the orchard. There are perhaps
3500 acres in apples in this valley and
tbe cities of Chicago St. Louis and
Kansas City will ere long feel the im-
pulse of this product In the channels
of trade . .
Roswell and the Pecos Valley are at
present unknown to the east by reason
of the fact that our only connection by
rail is by way of Pecos City and Fort
Worth Texas which places this city
twelve hundred miles from
Kansas City or St. Louis
and practically prohibits any inter-
change of commodities between these
points. Heretofore we have had the
choice of shipping twelve hundred
miles via Fort Worth or driving two
hundred miles to Amarillo Texas
then shipping over the Santa Fe from
that point. We all know that tbe busi-
ness methods of the present era will
not admit of such delays and m difficul-
ties. At the present time men and teams
are at work building a railroad from
Roswell to Amarillo and the road will
be completed and the first train run
from Kansas City to Roswell on or be-
fore Dec. 24th this year which con-
summation will eliminate six hundred
miles of distance and Instill new life-
blood In'o the veins of trade between
the two sections! On conserva-
tive estimate at least fifteen
thousand carloads of cattle alone will
annually pass over this new line to
Missouri and Illinois markets to ey
nothing of sheep hogs wool celery
and various other products and it is
well that St. Louis and Kansas City
cultivate trade relations with the Pe-
cos Valley.
