The Silver City baseball club will play
the third game Of the series with Dem
ing this month. Both clubs will play
ball, and an interesting game may be ex-
Last weeks flood did considerable
damage to the railroad between this
place and Whitewater, and a large force
Of men has been busy for several days
repairing the damage.
From the mouth OF the Mangas to the
Telegraph Mountains there has been no
rain yet this summer There is no grass
there, but cattle have kept in pretty
good condition browsing.
A contract has been made for over a
thousand tons OF canaigre root for the
new canaigre works at Deming. This
industry bids fair 10 become a very i'm
portant one for New Mexico,
There is some talk Of nominating
ladies for the Office of superintendent Of
schools Of this County. It would be
something new here but has been tried
in other sections OF the country.
Considerable damage was done to the
streets by the food last week. Dirt is
being hauled in which will be washed
away by the next food. Now is a good
time to commence paving the streets.
Shipments Of stock for the past week
have been light. None have been made
from the yards here and there will prob
ably not be many very heavy shipments
from this County during the remainder
Of the year.
The water question is not likely to be
a source Of trouble during the remainder
of this year. From present indications
the water company will not need to FUR
nIsh much more water for irrigating pur-
poses this year.
Residents of Silver City can hardly
understand why hundreds Of people in
the East are daily stricken down by the
heat when the weather here is so de-
lightful. Silver City would make a
very pleasant summer resort.
Miss Koehler, principal of the city
schools here has been appointed a mem
Der Of the committee to prepare an edu-
cational exhibit for the Worlds Fair.
The committee is composed Of some OF
the most prominent educators in the
Territory.
The railroad company will reduce the
fare to one cent a mile to Albuquerque
during the Territorial fair from all points
in New Mexico reached by the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. 1t is ex-
pected that this rate will induce a great
many people to go TO the fair who would
otherwise remain at home.
The floods Of the past week cleaned
out some of the filth from the principa.
streets Of this city, but there are many
places which ought to receive attention
If the health of the city Is to be pre-
served. The heated term will last FOL
two months yet, and it will not do t.
neglect sanitary measures at this season
Of the year.
There are fewer cattle on the ranges
in this County now than than there have
been at any time within the past six oil
seven years, and the shipments for the
past four months have been heavier thar
for any corresponding period within
that time. Stockman have found oui
by experience that it does not pay &c
crowd the ranges.
AS will be noticed in another column
a meeting of the members Of the demo
cratic central committee of this County
has been called by the chairman of the
County committee. The meeting will b'
a very important one, and 1t is desired
that every member of the COMMITTEES
should be in attendance. The meeting
win be held here on Saturday, August 10
Mrs. w II. White had quite a thrilling
experience while returning from the
Mogollons. The party went into CAM
one night last week not expecting az
attack from mountain lions but Mrs
White wal awakened by something sniff
ing at her hair. Womanlike sh,
screamed and woke the members Of The
party. The cook saw a large mountain
lion sitting up by the tent IN which Mrs
White was sleeping and shot at him, bu.
he moved of very leisurely.
A new school house 2sx4O feet il
ready for occupation on the ella. /
will be large enough 10 accommodate tn
children OF the district for some years Il
come. The citizens Of the district vote,
an additional school tax this year il
order to have ample funds to maintain
the school. The example Of the peopli
Of this district might DO prohtably fol
lowed by other districts in the County
Grant County is in the lead of oil thu
counties in the Territory in the matte
Of public schools and it Is going to remain
there.
There was a heavy flood on Monday o
last week on the Manages. II wasbe,
