Mig Time Coming.

City as was never see here before. Ten
years ago last month tho city was filed
to overlooking, when the Silver City,
Deming and Pacific railroad was opened,
but the crowd that was here then WILDE
far outnumbered next Tuesday. People
will be here from al parts of the Terri
tory, from Texas, Colorado, Arizona and
from other parts Of the country, and
were il not for the special preparations
which are now being made there would
not be accommodations for a quarter Of
the people in the city who will be in at
tendance.
Several hundred cots have been order
ed which will be placed IN the hotels and
in private residences about town IN order
to furnish the visitors with places to
sleep. The five hotels here can take care
Of a good many guests without special
preparations but it is proposed to utilize
every foot OF space.
The repairs at tho Thinner House
which have been going on for several
weeks will be completed this week and
the hotel will again be open to the pub
lie under the manae ement Of George d..
Hauser. The Thinner will accommodate
a larger number Of guests than any Of
the other hotels, but the proprietors Of
the fremont, Broadway, Southern and
Benton are making preparations TO &C.
commodate many more guests than they
usually find room for. Several hundred
people will find accommodations at pri-
vate residences and there need be no ap-
%prehension on the part of intending Wis
itors to the convention that there will be
no accommodation provided for them.
People who do not enjoy the high
temperature Of the valleys.and plains at
this season OF the year will do we'll to
come here and remain during the con-
vention and enjoy the cool mountain
breezes. Don't wait for a personal in
vitation. Everybody and all his relation
are invited and those who do not come
will miss the greatest event Of the year.
The races which are to come off here
on the 4th Of July will keep the visitors
pretty busy during the afternoon so that
it is not probable that there will be a
session Of the.Silv9r Convention in the
afternoon. The convention will meet IN
the morning and at the close OF the morn
ing session it will undoubtedly adjourn IN
til the morning Of the 9th, on which day
the principal work OF the convention
will be done.
There have been no new developments
in reference to the building Of the rail
road south from Deming since the con-
cession from the Mexican government
expired. 1t is possible that a new com
pany will be formed which will be able
to secure a new concession and go on
with the construction of the line. The
road would be of very great benefit to
Deming and would make that place one
Of the most important commercial cen
tiers in the southwest.
There is very little opposition now to
DeminR as the proper place to hold tho
irrigation convention next fall. Some of
the papers published in the Rio Grande
valley we're opposed to Deming on the
ground that it is not in the Rio Grande
valley, but this objection found little
support. The convention will be held
at Deming and will be a success.
AT the regular meeting of Isaac S.
Tiffany Lodge, No. 10, 1. o. o. F., last
Saturday night, the following officers
were elected for the ensuing term Of six
months beginning July 1st.: Noble
grand, d. P. Carr; wee grand, II. N.
ChIlders; secretary, G. L. Dotson; treas
urer, L. II. Rowlee; trustee, ). Reid
linger.
The falling Of a granite bank came
near resulting very seriously last week.
Quite a number of men have been en-
ployed for a number OF days hauling
decomposed granite on the streets. Last
Tuesday a bank in the northeastern
part of town caved in and injured two
men. Charles Carpenter has his foot
seriously hurt and will not be out for
some days yet.
The work which has been done by
Road Supervisor Durkee on Bullard
street adds very materially to the ap
pearance OF hatrstreet. 1t is in better
condition now than it has sver been be-
fore and people will be able to get down
town from the northern part OF the city
during the wet season without wallow-
ing IN the mud for two or three blocks.
The Fort Bayard military band will
be over here next Monday afternoon
and will remain until after the convsn-
ton is over. The band will play for
dances every night. Thererwill be room
for everybody to dance who desires to
do so. The committee has provided for
dances at three different places in town
and there will be ample room for sever
al hundred dancers.
Three hundred people have given their
names to the committee at FL Paso
which has made arrangements for a
special train TO come here on the third
OF July. II is expected that a good
many more will hand in their names
before next Monday. The McGinty club
will DO here in force.
Mr.. and Mrs. David Abraham returned
on Sunday from their visit to the famous
Santa Rosalia hot springs in Mexico.
