Col. =. X. Smith. who Is one OF Dem.
ings promoters of all kinds Of good
enterprises. presents n series Of good
reasons why the road will be built to
Deming. He says:
The building of the Bisbee road out
from DCming rs In no sense to spite
III PasO. but the decision is based on
substantial business conditions,
namely:
"First-lt will cos the company 49,.
100000 less To come to Deming
than 10 40 to III Paso.
"Second-They can come to Dem.
ing one year sooner than they could
reach III Paso.
"Third-They can save several
hundred thousand dollars in the trans.
%portation Of their building material,
and as much more in transporting
their mine products from Mexico and
Arizona to their eastern connections
at Deming.
"Fourth-They find terminal facili.
ties at Doming far more favorable
than at III paso. The cost to the com.
pany on entering the city. their tcrmi.
nal and depot grounds and right OF
way Is nothing.
"Fttth-Thc great abundance of
pure water. the health OF the place
n the delightful climate will make
Deming most attractive for general
headquarters.
"SiNth-Thcy may at some time de-
sire to establish a large smelling
plant convenient to the great mines
that they have recently acquired at
hanover, and last, but not least, the
DemiHg people have received them
with open aims and are not only
ready and willing but anxious to ex.
tend every aid in their power to ad.
vance the interest of the company.
They want the road to come to Dem.
ing and they are not afraid or ashamed

In "A talk with n. A. Bolich. who
with other Deming merchants are
working to secure the Disbeo road. il

well as II they had already entered
that city. The railroads running out
OF I'll Paso, in common with all other
roads In this country, are not there
solely to scrap with competing lines
and they know too much and have
mad an eye single to their own inter
est, to ignore a great feeder like the
Bisbee road.
The anne gentleman gives il as his
opinion that no road will be built out
from Stems Pass by the Southern Pa.
ciiic company, and he bases his opin.
ion upon the single fact that the
Pacific people are too good
men to entertain for n mo-
ment any such an idea as Throwing
