ARTESIA ROAD TO
BE GRAVELED
One of the maul Important subjects
brought up fd discussion yesterday
Boon at the Chaidber of Commerce
lunch at the Crawford hotel, waa
that of the proposrd graveling of
the road between Lakewood and Ar
tesla at a coat of something like
$80.000 to -be paid from money
raised by Eddy comity supplemented
by atate and Federhl road uiony.
Fx -County Conuniailoner U. A.
8wlgart brought It to the attention
of the Chamber of Commerce that
plana for the surmcine of thf. man
with gravel bad already . 'tio tent
to the board of county cOnini limon
era of Eddy coünty by rJnglneer
Davliion. aud the county cummin
alonera had approved the plan and
returned the aaiue to Santa Fe.
It waa lha opinion ot Mr. Uwigarl
Chat the majority ot the cltlienj of
the county were opposed to this
money being spent on the road o. -tween
Lake wood and itexia lor
the reason that the road Ik now one
of the best In the county and that
there are other roads needing this
money much worse than that atrip
ot highway. Me said that It some
thing waa not done at once to halt
or change the present plans the pro
ject will be completed without giv
ing the cltliwns of tb,e county
chanee to express their wlshoe.
Mr. Mcllvaln explained that the
ounty commissioners had It put up
to them to approve this work being
done on the road betwoon Lakewood
and Arteala or having the money
apent In Other parts of the state,
leaving Eddy county out of the road
building program, but Mr. Swigart
wax of the opinion that this county
has a right tu say where they want
the money upeut, the commlssionera
have repealt.'iil) been promised thuy
could any what road they wanted
tiled and lie believed the state en
gineer's office could not afford to go
back ot that promise. It was mov
ed by Robt. Q. i Km that a commit
tee be appointed to Investigate thla
matter and report what can be done
to get Eddy county's share of the
money spent where a majority of the
cltiiens want It spent and wbere it
will do the moat good. Thla motion
carried and President Hubert an
nounced he would appoint the com
mittee at the next meeting or the
board of directors of the Chamber
of Commerce to be held tonight.
Each county of the stato Is sup
posed to get their pro rata of road
money according to the valu
ation or property In the county
and it is thought the state officials
will be willing to do the square
thing by Kddy county If It is prop
erly called to tlinlr attention.
Major Bujac told the Chamber of
Commerce that El I'aso was now
considering building a road to the
Pecos valley and had the money and
enthusiasm to put It over, but that
Koswell was trying to get the road
built to that point. He pointed out
that Carlsbad naa a much shorter
route which wilt be practically free
(rom snow the year round aud af
fording tourists scenery unsurpassed
by any other route. Ttp club seem
ed to think that something should
be done about getting thlH road to
EI l'a'io built and action probably
will be taken shortly looking to that
end.
The first speaker was H. II. Dille
chairman of the membership Jtpui
mlttee, who said, lié was Beared and
ba been scared ever since he found
out be whs to make a talk. He said
there are now 170 registered as
members or the Chamber of Com
merce and suggested that each one
aecure a new member for the club,
which would bring the total up to
bout 400. He also auggeated senaV
Ing out questionnaires for informa
tion as to what each one thinks
could be done toward beautifying
and making Carlsbad more attrac
tive, then have .the answers printed

talk on the evil of patronising the
mall order house. He said f 100.00
a day la now being sent out of town
for goods which may be bought In
Carlsbad for the same price when
quality Is taken Into consideration,
that the mall order customer gets
skinned as a rule and generally are
dissatisfied with their purchases. 4 He
closed by stating that what helps
the merchanta of Carlsbad benefits
everyone living in the city and that
a continuation of the praotice of
buying out of town will kill any
community.
Mr. Shortuan of the State Nation
al Hank, spoke at length and made
many suggestiona for the Improve
ment of the city and rural commun
ity. First he believes a real, live
secretary for the Chamber of Com
merce should be employed to devote
all bla time to the work. Then ev
ery family In the city should strive
to get one family to come to Carls
had to live. He said It would work
for he had seen It tried at other
places. He then said the streets of
the city should be paved regardless
of the cost or difficulties to be over
rome. He likes the farmer who
rats alfalfa and hoga and thinks
grapes should be raised on -a large
scale on the project, atatlng that
If a large quantity were grown a
market could easily be found, and
closed by admonishing the Chamber
or Commerce to make a loud noise
If they hoped for the outside world
to recognise their efforts towards
building a city.
The next speaker was Dr. flearup
who said Carlsbad must furnish
amusement for the people it they
hoped to attract new comers and
when that was done tourists would
be glad to come here. He also gave
an Illustration ot the shortage of
houses In Carlsbad uy stating that
last winter he had one hundred ap
plications to rent two houses.
Key. Mr. Sellarda gave the club
his views about making the park
in the west part or town a beauty
spot and playground. He suggested
that a walk be put around the park
so the children of the city might
use it for skating and that two ten
nis courts be built of concreto as
well aa building other playgrounds,
lie auggested that each cltiren be
aHked for $10.00 to fiuy for- this
vork.
W. F. Mcllvaln told of the trip to
Hitting Bull Falls and uald that
place was so out of the ordinary was
what made it so attractive. The
committee will ask the board of
directors for $100 for building a
road to thla place. The road will
not be the best but It will be made
so any car may make the trip. He
said there was swimming holes and
shade trees and suggested that Car
lsbad go there to spend the Fourth
of July Instead of trying to pull olt
a celebration In Carlsbad.
The Scouts of both troops left
Monday morning in cats nd trucks
bound ror Black river, and they In
tend pitching their camp near the
old Blue Springs ranch.
They were well equipped with a
fine camping outfit and a fine supply
of "chuck," and we see no reason
why they should not enjoy the

The roads were very muddy on
the trip out and the boys stuck both
the big trucka several times, but
with the assistance or Dick Thome,
Oene Little, Wilson Prowell and a
few others, they managed to get the
ou'flt to the location selected, and
reports from there are to the effect
that they are having a tine time.
A few of the Scouts from Pesos
came up and went out with the boys
and seemed to be feeling right at
home when they left there Monday
morning.
About thirty Scouts came down
from Clovls on the train Monday
and were taken out in cars to the
Camp on Black river, so that they
might enjoy the week with uur boys
who are camped at that place. It was
rather amusing to watch those kids
around and looking up at our big
Cottonwood trees and to see them
standing on the banks of the Rio

goes without saying that thev will
