Yewsy Notes From Demmr.

The current Of public thought has
been changed through which IL has
lowed for several months. The election
and It's result is history and a settled
feeling Of content prevails on that score.
The all absorbing question is, What's in
the futuref The Mexican road is looked
upon as the salvation Of this section, but
why IL should be, your correspondent
fails to see. The problem Of the future
OF Deming is Swallowed dimly through
the enterprises that are being pushed by
the Water works and Canaigre compa-
MES. Work ia progressing rapidly on
both, and it is claimed the advent OF
1898 will see botu in operation. The
success or failure Of either Of these un-
dertakings will have a marked effect on
the future OF this place.
Another thing that inures to this
towns disadvantage is It's unsettled real
estate conditions. What lie supposed to
DO the best locations in the townsite are
in an unsettled condition. The railroads
claiming quite a tract OF land bordering
south Of the tracks, lands which the
companies assert title to by virtue Of
donation from the government for servi-
ces rendered. On SAID land quite a
number Of citizens have located, all OF
whom, however, received notice to vacate
and also are appraised that they are tres
passers. The railroad companies go 10
farther, seemingly being satisfied with
such notices to protect their rights.
A feature Of tho ratification jollihca-
ton was a bet paid by Louis Altman, in
wheeling Joe Mohaney through the town
on a w~heelbarrow. Joe enjoyed the
ride.
Billy Cassman, who some wag has
charged with being q chinaman, because
his name appeared on a hotel register as
halling from Hong Kong, is catering to,
and tickling the palatcs OF the cultomers
Of John Deckert's brewery.
The Denver Times agent undertook
to u a bluff on the genial Jim Hanni.
gan last Thursday, but the d. t. a. at the
wind up felt as though he would like to
have been able to crawl through q gas
pipe. A newspaper or any other man
who could find fault with jim on a mat
ter OF business is a rara avis.
Uniform Rank K. of p. received four
new members last week. Their regular
drill comes on each Tuesday nigat.
Constable McGlinchy was taken sud
denly i'll Thursday night. At this
writing he is somewhat relieved.
M. Ben N. Crawford Of Clifton, Arr
zoA was here Friday. Ben aspires to
be u. S. Marshal OF that Territory. He
is well fitted for the position, and the
numerous friends that will spring up
between now and the appointed time to
back him up will prove the assertion.
Amateur theatricals by local talent on
the oath in "A Scrap Of Paper"
Sixty nine souls passed through here
for T~Opolobampo Mexico, to join the
Owens Colony, last Friday. They we're
emigrants Of a superior class, all Amer
leans, except a few Germans. 1t looked
strange to see such people leaving "the
land Of the free and the home Of the
brave" They we're from the states of
Kansas and Colorado. They were, with
out a single exception, republicans. A
patriarchial old gent with a large fam
lily Of grown children, some married, said:
II have ever opposed the democratic
party from the days Of Tippecanoe and
Tyler too to the 9Th Of this month, and
1 say it with sadness, 1 must acknowl-
edge I'm tired Of the gods that I follow
ed" Among other things said, 81 be-
lieve the democratic party will remedy
matters if it can"
