No county in New Mexico was without some- prize-winning exhibit at the St: Louis Ex
position. Prize-winning wheat and prize-winning minerals came in some cases from the
same county." Roawell and the Peeos Valley-did not get any ribbons or medals on min
erals, but our horticultural and agricultural products (except wheat) won as many
prizes as all the balance of the Territory. We quote from the list of awards:
Gold Medal. J. J. Hagerman, Row

Territorial Good Roads Convention at
Las Vegas Results In Forming
of a New Association.
Returning from the Territorial Good
roads convention held at Las Vegas
from September 26 to 29, delegate- A,
J. Graham brings some interesting
news that will hold the attention of
those interested in public improve
ments in Roswell and Chaves county.
He reports that the meeting resulted
in the formation of the New Mexico
Good Roads Association, which is to
be a permanent affair and of which
the 500 delegates present became
charter members. It is the Intention
of the leaders in the movement r to
make the association grow from year
to year until it Is a power in the Ter
ritory. The officers selected for the first
year were Ex-Governor L. Bradford
Prince, president; and Frank Owen,
of Santa Fe, Secretary. A vice- presi
dent was chosen for each judicial dis
trict in the territory and Mr. Graham
was made vice- president for this dis
trict. The new association is formed for
business, not resolutions and other
r. work on paper. It proposes to have
good roads clubs formed in every dis
trict at once, and the work in their
district is to be placed In the vice
president's hands. A meeting for a
'good road convention for the Pecos
Valley will be called soon and the
proposition of building a r good road
from one end of the Valley to the
other will be launched.
Good roads men from other states
were in attendance at the meeting
and spoke of the great advantage the
eastern part of the territory has In
road building. They showed that
where It costs sometime as high as
$6,000 per mile for roads in the east
em states, the same road can "be built
here for from $150 to $200 per mile.
Very soon county managers will be
named for this district and they will
have the supervision of the . good
roads movement In Roosevelt. Chav
es and Eddy counties. .' -
' Some Seasonable Advice.
It may be a piece of superflous ad
vice to urge people at this season of
the year to lay in a supply of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. It Is almost
sure to be needed before winter is
over, and much -more prompt and sat
isfactory results are obtained when
taken as soon as a cold is contracted
and before it has become settled in
the system, which can only be done
by keeping the remedy at hand. This
remedy is so widely known and so
altogether good that no one should
hesitate about buying it in perfer-
ence to any other. It is for sale by
all dealers.

GRAHAM BOOSTING AUTOS.
A Judicious Inquiry.
A- well known traveling man who
visits the drug trade says he has of
ten heard druggists indire of cus
tomers 'who asked for a cough medi
cine, whether it was wanted for - a
child or for an adult, and if for a
child they , almost invariably recom
mend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The reasoir for this is that they know
there is no danger from - it ' and that
it always curesv There is not the lsast
danger in giving it, and for coughs,
colds and croup it is unsurpassed. For
sale- by all dealers.
Commercial Club Secretary Returns
From Trip a Strong Advocate
of the Roswell Auto
mobile Line.
J. A. Graham, secretary of the Ros
well commercial club returned Sifti
day evening from Las Vegas, Albu
querque and other points, coming
home by' way of Torrance, over the
Roswell Automobile Company's route
He is now a booster of the automobile
line and will be a strong "plugger"
for this enterprise that is yet con
sidered by some to be in . the experi
mental stage. He has tried the route
and gives a finding favorable to the
future of the company." He traveled
the road with traveling salesmen who
spoke ' in such a manner as to make
him believe that the patronage of the
route "will increase wonderfully as the
news of the existence of such a route
spreads among the traveling brother
hood. - The salesmen who rode with
the club secretary told him that the
route, was the biggest advance in civi
lization New Mexico has had in a long
time, and that they Would find it very
convenient on their " routes over the
country. Secretary Graham predicts
that the auto stage will be a great
success.

Roswell' Citizen" is Merely on" a I Trip
In Arizona and Writes to
Tell His Friends.
The following letter explains itself
ahdwlll be of interest to many Ros
well people: '.
Clifton. Ariz.. Sept. 22 1905.
Daily Record, Roswell, N. M.
I thought I would write a line to
" The Record in order that my creat
ors might keep tract of me. I left
Roswell, on August 7, to go to Bisbee,
Arizona, but stopped off at El aso
and after working three weeks got
crippled and laid off two weeks, and
during that time was offered a "situa
tion with the "Arizona Copper Comp
any here and tonight I find myself
in the bed of the San Francisco river,
surrounded by almost perpendicular
rock walls, hundreds of feet high in
what is called the flourishing city
of Clifton. Now do not understand
me to say that Clifton is not all O.
K., for I do think that the hardest
people on earth live here. I base my
judgment on wfiat I have seen. I was
out in town this evening for a short
time and I will venture the assertion
that one half the population, both
male and female, was out for- a battle
with "Old King Boose."
" I think this is a grand country for
a man that is willing to shut himself
out from the world, from home and
friends, and relinquish every tie that
binds him to life, peace and happi
ness and is willing to surrender all
hope of heaven to the devil and his
angels.
The scenery is grand beyond de
scription, and I can say that I have
traveled over the most crooked rail
road in the world, from" the San Fran
cisco river to Nieranci, Ariz.' The road
makes four complete loops in as
many miles. -
By saying that I am of the opin
ion that when God created this " sec
tion of Arizona He was trying His
best to see what rough country He
could make of it, I give the opinion
of many others.
Well I will close. If anyone wants
to write to me they can reach me
at ' Clifton, Ariz. Sighed,
r. p. Johnston!

IMPROVEMENTS FOR DEXTER
Townships to Have Road Grader and
a Road Boss and the Town is
to Have Voting Precinct..
At -the meeting of the county com
missioners yesterday afternoon, it
was ordered that a voting precinct
be '- declared for Dexter. It was fur
ther ordered that $200 be appropriat
ed for a road grader for District No.
4, in township 13, in which Dexter is
located; also that the township be
given a road boss, and Jerry Cazier
was named for the place.
With all this news in his possession
Jerry Cazier was a happy man when
he left last night for his home in Dex
ter. Not that he cared so much for
the position as road boss, but because
the three improvements that have
been secured for Dexter. He has been
working to get these improvements
for some time and feels that his la
bors have not been in vain. Saturday
evening he secured an agreement
from some of the county commission
ers that if he secured half the money
for a road grader, the county would
nit up the rest. ' He went home and
Sunday secured subscriptions amount
lng to half the cost of the best grader
made. With this subscription, list fie
appeared before the commission Mon
day. -
Mr. Cazier calls attention- to the
fact that although he was named a
delegate to the territorial good roads
convention and did not go he has
done something for the good roads
in Chaves county that will be felt
right away; "Uncle Jerry" is a practic
al good roads man and will be found
with his hands to the handle when it
comes to ' hard work for' public im
provements," especially good roads.
BOONS FOR LAKE ARTHUR.
County Commissioners ' Allow That
Town a Voting Precinct and a
Crossing Oveir the Pecos."'
"A voting precinct and a cement
crossing over the river Pecos were
the two great benefits made possible
for Lake Arthur by the county com
missioners late Monday afternoon. It
was an easy" task for the commission
ers to declare that a voting precinct
be ; established at Lake Arthur,' but
the cither benefit did not come so ea
sy. ",'"- . "
' The crossing is to be put in at a
point three' miles from Lake Arthur,

at Dexter and the other at .LakeTAr
