 Girls Look Upon Business as a seeon-
 dary Matter.
 At what age should a woman mar " said the manager of a large de partment store to the writer the other day. Why. at the parsonage, of course, he answered promptly with a smile. And as many of them do So as possibly can- when the right man comes along. And alas! too often when the wrong one dazzles his glitter, ing matrimonial proposition before their eyes.
 Thirty years experience in a depart ment store, or what the same has de- yeloped into, leads me to believe that marriage to the saleswornan is too Of ten looked upon as emancipation from a life more or less of strenuous work. under more or less pleasant conditions, maybe, but rnatriinony occupies too of ten too large a space in her mental per spective. and business is only seconda- ry. That is the reason why there are so few really excellent saEesWomen- they look upon business as a stepping stone to matrimony perhaps by afford ing an opportunity to inake acquaintan- .ces through fellow workers of both sexes, perhaps by allowing one the privilege of storing up a little nest-egg in some bank. with which fund she can help some enterprising chap to start in business, or at least to furnish a pretty home.
 < The number of saleswomen who leave department store work to found homes and ndertake marital duties, and who are afterward discovered seek ing for work again, having found mar. riage failure. is comparatively low. The saIeswonan is pretty well equipped for the battle of life, for her training in the store keeps her alert, anxious to emulate her superfors anl so be more worthy in the eyes of her employers or ---fler future husband. The age at which they undertake the latter respor- sfbility is nearer twenty than younger, and by that time, if she has been in the business of selling goods for very long, she has probably n good fund of practical wisdom, nice little bank account, or happily both. For that reason marriages of saleswonen are quite apt to be prosperous. '--P Phil- adelpliia Inquirer.

THE oLDTIME MATHEMATICS,

In the old-fashioned district school to master square root was an achieve #ment. and they who with ease worked out problems in cube root formed an intellectual aristocracy. Not one boy or girl in q thousand has occasion per- haps, in after life, to extract the cube root of any number, and yet the com prehension of the problem to those who approached it with interest and curi- osity was liberal education not to be despised. The teacher who could set before his pupils the processes to. be used, with the meaning of them, with models showing how a cube was built up and how it's root was extracted, en- tered with the few who could under stand him into world of thought in which the mind was enlarged and strengthened. If the children of our public schools today are incapable of pursuing such studies and the teachers see no good in them, something seems to have been lost out offour system of education A student who does not know at least the generai principles of conic sections has lost glimpses of the most sublime aspects of the universe in which he lives.

for instance, to the bow legs of a play CT, or to the ugliness of his face, or to some other physical characteristic that is liable to be a sore spot with the man in uniform. The rooters of to-day, I am bound to say, are wholly un- generous and inconsiderate in their way of pointing ot there things and in harping and chewing on them throughout the length of a long game or double-header. It isn't square. I don't blame the bah players for resent ing it. I could mention several re- noWned actors who are extremely bow legged, but the galleryites don't baWl that fact at them when the actors are giving their performances. And car, t see why it isn't just as mean and common to allude to the physical de- fleets or peeuliarities of ball players as 1t would be to hurl such remarks at actors on the stage Washington Star.

riod only this morning. The movement at first seemed to run out simply and a lethrgie condition developed. Then prices turned abruptly doWnwards. Sharp declines were scored on a con- siderably larger volume of business than at any time during the previous days advance. The coincidence of ae- tolerated downward movement, with the appearance in Wall street of print ed abstracts of the report of the com missioner of corporations. gave color to the supposition that the weakness was induced by the contents of the report.
 The recommendation in favor of feder- al licenses to permit corporations to tengase in interstate commerce seemed
 to revive all the apprehensions felt in
 the financial district on this subject
 ever since the publication of the pres. lident,s message. To-day's reaction was also due to feeling of skeptieism over
 the substantial nature of yesterdays s advance. The doubt was fostered by
 some rather clear evidences to-day of
 resumption of pool and manipulatiye
 tactics on the part of prominent lead
 CTS of the, late advance, to the heights from which such costly declines were
 made. There was a suspicion that the
 movement might be. in the nature of an
 admonition against iniudicious at
 tempts to extend speculative comnit-
 ments and to advance prices at an un- l propitious time. The manner of some ! of the selling was clearly intended to convey the impression of such opera
 tions. but whether big financial inter-
 ests were back of the selling was not plain. The news of the day was not
 very significant and was not much re. garded The .ham of Christmas trade in the retail districts gives warning that the usual considerable holiday re-

1t being the county seat Of Luna
county and the junction point Of three
railways, makes it the leading town Of
this region, and the development of
the mines referred to, the building of
two projected railroads and a large
smelter, which is now assured, will
cause growth during the present year
far in excess of any previous season,
thus insuring employment for a large
number of men at good wages. In
view of .hese things and the fact that
there is always considerable amount
of building and other work going on in
Deming, one may feel reasonably GER
tam of securing work If he comes here
to locate. In this connection we will
say that there are several parties now
looking over the ground with view to
large developments in the Florida dis
trict and in section in Grant county
uear the Mimbres valley which may re-
suit in the erection Of extensive works
If they are successful in their under
taking.
But it is to the settling of the plains
that the home-seeker will look and it is
our intention to show in this article
what he can expect to find when he
comes here and what he can do with it.
For many years these fertile plains
have remained open as stock ranges
because there was no water near with
which to irrigate them. The valleys
near which have water have, however,
furnished conclusive evidence of the
rich returns that could be had under
the magic touch of water, and have
demonstrated that the soil and climate
here will produce fruit, grain and al
falfa such as can be found only in the
Southwest.
These plains are mostly government
land open to homestead entry and will
make homes for thousands of families.
and it is of them and their reclamation
that we will treat in Part II.

INTRODUCTION.

During the past 30 years or more
much has been said and written in
praise Of our dry climate, pure air and
health-giving sunshine, and Of the
beauty Of our mountain scenery, while
novels by the dozen, some wise and
some otherwise, have been written
about the quaint customs of our native
people. Much, also, has been said in a
general way of our mineral wealth and
the magnitude Of our sheep, cattle and
farming industries. Yet in all, there
is very little that gives person looking
toward the West for a place to locate
and make home the practical inform
alton he so much desires as to what the
new country will offer as a means of
support, and what avenues OF business
will be open for him when he arrives
here. 1t is because we believe there is
an actual present demand for just this
class Of information in compact form
that we have undertaken the task of
furnishing it in the present article.

To begin with we will touch briefly
the mineral and other resources which

Clyde Smith has taken charge of the
affairs of the Grant County Telephone
company and is now manager for the
same. The system will be generally
repaired and put in first-class shape.
Marshall Kilburn is putting the
streets of Silver City in the best shape
that they have ever been. The in
provements being made are very no.
ticeable in the appearance of the town.
County School Superintendent White
has made an apportionment of school
funds amounting to S5, 2Sl.90. The to-
tai number of persons of school age in
the county is 3l07, making the rate per
scholar $l.70.
Among the prominent people in Sill
yer City at the present time is Hon.
Israel w. Durham, who is chairman of
the republican organization in the City
of Philadelphia and Senator Quay's
most trusted lieutenant in the State of
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Durham is here for
the purpose of rest and recreation and
is rapidly regaining his health which
had become impaired by arduous politi-
cal work. He is accompanied by his
brother, Thomas Durham.
At meeting of the stockholders of
the Silver City National bank held last

require the investment Of large amounts
of capital for their development, and
consequently do not really belong in the
list Of inducements to home builders,
yet are of great Importance because
they furnish the basis Of our markets
and provide employment for laborers,
thus giving the poor man a means of
earning a livelihood while improving
his home and establishing business of
his own.
Our space being limited we will con-
fine ourselves mostly to the counties of
Luna and Grant, surrounding the little
city Of Deming and having it as a trade
center.
The town Of Deming is situated on a
broad, level plain with small mountains
surrounding it on all sides at some miles
distant. In these mountains and with
in the limits Of Luna county are three
mineral districts, all of which have
properties that are being worked to
some extent, and two are regular pro-
ducers, while further to the north. in
Grant county, are extensive mining re-
gions directly tributary to Deming.

with business. Benjamin |. Cohen a
Portland banker, gave an address on
"The Stockmen's and Farmers Need of

credit currency Of Canada. He thought
this plan, if operated wisely, could be
made success. Still he more strongly
favored the plan proposed by Balti-
more bankers.

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKMEN
MOST SUCCESSFUL EVER HELD
Proposition to Establish Independent Packing House Meets
With Approval Denver Selected as Next Meeting Place
Officers Named For Ensuing Year. Simpson Remembered
In the Presentation Of Tokens

Portland, Jan. Is. With the feeling
that one of the most important meet
ings in the history of the organization
was ended, and that much was accom-
plished that will be for the future pro
gress of the live stock business, the
seventh annual convention of The Ma
tional Live Stock association adjourned
this afternoon TO meet in Denver,
Colo, next year. The unanimous
opinion of those in attendance upon
this convention is that a more success
ful and pleasant convention has never
been held.
From the opening session of the Ma
tional Wool Growers convention to the
closing of the live stock mems organi-
cation, unity and harmony have char
acterized every action. With this feel-
ing prevailing the work Of the conven-
ton was easily accomplished.
Many important questions have been
considered, the more important being
the public lands relative to grazing, the
relation of railroads to the stock indus
try and, most important of all, the es-
Enlistment of independent packing
houses. This has been the watchword
of almost every session. The PROPOSE
ion Of the stockmen to band together
ia a corporation for the purpose Of
building and operating packing plants
OF their own, that packing comtina-
t ms may be- fought and the interests
Of the producer and consumer protect
G were explained thoroughly 10y those
who have studied the situation. The
necessity OF raising 5000, 600 for the
p rrpose of putting this plan into opera
{ on was ever kept before the conven-
tion and the work Of securing subscrip-
tions toward this end will be taken up
in each state Immediately. The plan
aving received the unanimous endorse
ment Of the convention those directing
i are determined to carry it through to
success, and no effort will be left un-
made to accomplish this end.
The railroads were handled severely
for their action relative to supplying
cars for the transportation of cattle
and charging what stockmen claim to
be unwarranted tariffs.
The public land question was studied
thoroughly. Policies believed to offer
r lief to the stockmen were proposed
and discussed, and the stockmen had
the satisfaction, before the close Of
their convention, of hearing the promise
from the governments representatives
that measures would be proposed look
ing toward the recognition of their as
serted rights.
