Vice President Masterman of the Kan
sas National then dug up from the store
hous of his memory the geography that
he had learned in his schoolboy days.
He said New Mexico was a portion of
the Great American Desert and the par

lived was designated as the Staked
Plains. Now. he said they are raising
alfalfa and fine stock out there, and he
could hardly realize the fact that people
out there on the '.Staked Plains had
more cattle and sheep that the railroads
were able to haul to market. The vice
president Of the Kansas National bank
declared that the Great American Desert
had gone to join the other myths of the
early DAYS of this country.
