THE UNDERTAKERS
An Interesting Session of the Assoc

Mr. H. I. Holdernesss has return ed from Hot Springs. where be at tended the annual meeting of the Arkansas State Funeral Directors Association, of which he is secre tary. The officers of the organiza- ton were all reelected. and the meeting was a most interesting one.
 A preliminary move was made for the adoption of the American Bag gage Agents Associations rules for the shipment of bodies, which re- quires the undertakers shipping bodies to be licensed.
 Resolution were also adopted endorsing the checking system in the shipment of bodies.
 This move requiring undertakers to be licensed is a proper one and a great protection to the people. No man who can stand an examination as an embalmer should be permitted to ship the remains of person, especially one who has died of g contagious disease.
 The attendance at the meeting was good, and the organization is growing in popularity, the leading undertakers becoming members.
 The next meeting will be held in Little Rock, beginning On the sec. ond Tuesday in May, 1901.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
For the Cattle Men in New Mexico
 This Year.
CARLSBAD, N. M,, May r, 1900.

CARLSBAD, N. M,, May F, 1900.
 EDITOR GRAPHIC This promises to be the banner year among the cattle raisers and farmers of this fertile valley. The rains came just right and the outlook is better for a prosperous season than any for the past decade.
 The great artesian wells at Ros. well continue to "spout" their my riad gallons per minute of clear, pure water without a sign of any diminished flow.
 The lakes of the irrigation com pany are full, bank full; enough wa ter in them in fact to last the year through, even without another drop.
 The Peco valley railroad will han de this year fully 220 1000 head of cattle. Already some 60000 head have been shipped from this one station alone and this is not the largest shipping point on the road by great deal. Portales will probably exceed it in the shipment of feeders five to one.
 The valley, during the winter just past and the spring, has oeen full of health seekers.
 Malaria finds no home here. Com plaints of that sort vanish under the influence of this pure, dry att mosphere. Mosquitoes even cannot live here.
 The alfalfa crop this year will be a1arge one, both in the lower valley and about Roswell. Many well known stock men have started large trading farms, especially in the vicinity of Roswell, among others J. J. Hagerman and Col. c. c. Slaughter. The "Herefords" here reign supreme and "white facesn now dot the hills on every range,
 The railroad has been ofs coufse Instruments in promoting these great industries in the valley and 1t may be said in all sincerity that the valley owes it's present prosperous outlook fully as much to the road as it does tt it's native and natural adyan tages.
 The great live stock bank of S. T. Biting has incorporated with a large capital under the laws of the territory and has taken in among it's stockholders some of the great financial lights of the cattle cooa- munity of this section.
