4 DIG EVENT.
Manager Powers Announces Ellery'S
Royal Italian Band.

During the past few days Manager
Powers of Clark opera house has listed
this city and Silver City, and has found
that there is nothing too good for the
town, as is proven by his $7OO-guarantee
to the Ellery Band, which comes here
December End. It is a perfectly safe
investment, as there has been a great
demand for seats. Silver City alone
has bought over 200, while Demingites
are gettiug up box parties and gallery
parties besides having reserved over
half of the house set aside for them.
There will be great number Of per
sons in the house to hear this excellent
concert that have never in their lives
gone to theatrical performance.
Those who are not vitally interested
in music attend the Ellery band con-
certs for the purpose Of watching the
movement and expression of Ferullo,
who, they declare, interests them more
than nine out Of ten of the theatrical
performances to which they are accus-
toned.
Signor Ferullo, the new leader, nearly
always dresses in a white uniform while
directing the evening concerts. As this
young man is very energetic and goes
through an enormous amount of physi-
cal exercise during the course of the
evening, he conceived the idea of wear
ing white clothes purely for comfort $
sake. During the recent long engage
ment Of the band in Milwaukee, Ferullo
started in with his white uniform, and
when upon the coming of cooler weather
he made a change to black, his action
vas followed by remonstrances on the
part Of the public, who declaree that
the expressive gestures and movements
Of the young leader were shown to
much greater advantage with his white
uniform than with dark one, the con-
trast Of the one white figure in the
midst Of fcty dark ones giving him a
most effective prominence. Ferullo
%rll therefore dress in white at the con-
cert here IN December End. Seats are
now on sale at the City drug store.

Let us Have Peace.

Since John Jay was burned in efligy
in Boston for putting an arbitration
clause in to our treaty with England in
1881, there have been $50 international
disputes settled by arbitration or by
special commissions. From 1914 to 1910
there were only twenty-four such settle
ments, but the rate Of increase was so
rapid that in 1901, 1922 and 1903 there
were siXty-three. al but the two cases
recently sent 10 the new world court at
The Hague were settled by special courts
arranged for the occasion.
Hereafter the permanent world court
will settle the most Of such cases.
America had the honor Of opening The
Hague Court. The first case sent to it
was the "Pious Fund" case between the
United States and Mexico. The second
was the Venezuela case, to which eleven
nations were parties. The third case is
between Japan and England France
and Germany.
At the Pan-American Congress held
in Mexico in 1901 and 1902, all the Cen
tral and South American states asked
for admission 10 The Hague Court. Ten
of them went further and signed a
treaty to settle their mutual difficulties
by arbitration. Forty nations OF the
two hemispheres have now no excuse
for war with each other.

From Politics to Business.

Now we can turn our thoughts to
matters in which we all find a perfect
agreement, for we are all interested in
the general welfare of the country.
The people of this country have been
too busy to participate in campaign ex-
citement and have remained at home and
stuck to business, and the results show
excellent conditions in almost every
line Of agricultural production that
constitutes a factor in the country's
greater markets wheat, corn and cot
ton primarily, and the yield of ap-
pies and potatoes is not only abundant
hut in some sections particularly fine in
quality. Cotton mills long idle are
starting up. Manufacturing generally
is in healthy and prosperous condition.
The mining industry is flourishine.
And the orders for railroad and strnc-
tural steel and iron are reported to he
on the increase, with le,s talk than re-
Gently about cutting the price Of rails.
With the steel rail mills Of the United
States turning out their product at the
rate Of 10000 tons n day and with the
railroad companies absorbing it, the
business and prospects Of the great
TRANSFORMATION comnanes must certnin-
" be in n condition to warrant that
expenditure. And each and all Of these
things are factors in the general bust
ness situation that make for trade ac-
tivity, confidence and hlpefulness.

A StupsnduOus Work.

The prospect for government con-
struction of the lower Rio Grande irri-
cation project, the most stnpenduous
irrigation scheme in the world, is very
bright. Engineer Arthur Powell Davis
of reclamation service, accompanied by
Engineer Harry A. Storrs, returned to
Denver much pleased with their prelim-
mary investigation of the immense pro-
ject, the largest yet undertaken by the
service.
The undertaking contemplates the
irrigation of lSO, 900 acres Of surprising.
ly fertile land in the vicinity of Las
Cruces, N. NJ, and extending partly
into Texas. As Texas was not included
in the states enumerated in the recia-
nation law, special legislation will be
sought from Congress as soon as the
feasibility Of the construction is fully
determined,
The engineering features will consist
of dam $50 feet high and quarter Of
a mile wide, located near Engle, on the
lower Rio Grande. This will back up
the water forty miles between the rock
walls of the canyon.
At the dam the water will be l75
feet deep. This will make the largest
artificial reservoir in the world. 1t will
conserve 1000, ,O00-acre feet, or 100,
600, 900, 600 gallons of water at one time
This will make it twice as large as the
great Pathfinder dam on the North
Platte and much larger than the i'm
mense Salt river reservoir in Arizona.
In the dam itself there will be Ala, 600
cubic feet Of masonry, ten times that
to be used in the Pathfinder dam, and
$4,000 barrels of cement. The work
on the reservoir alone will cost IS, 300 =
900. The remaining $2,OOO,OOO will be
expended on the canals and diversion
dams. Five years, it is estimated, will
be taken to construct this marvellous
piece Of engineering.
The cost per acre for the construc-
ton will be $40, which would be con-
sidered high but for the excellent cha
racter and general fertility Of the soil,
which will bear fruit and alfalfa in
abundance when sufficient moisture can
be secured.

Roosevelt in the South

The President will, some time between
now and inauguration day, while on
at rip to his mothers home in Georgia,
which he contemplates taking, deliver
a speech IN which ne will outline his
Southern policy, which II is predicted
will be magnanimous and impartial.
Mr.. Roosevelt's severest political
enemies have been forced to admire
him for his remuneration, in the hour of
his triumph, of ambitions looking to a
third term. That he did not say as
much, while the campaign was on,
proves, they say, that he is above one
kind of demagogy. 1t is confidently
believed among southern democrats
that his speech in the South will be on
the same high plane.
Mr.. Roosevelt is ambitious. His
closest personal friends say that it is
now his ambition, having been elected
by the greatest popular majority ever
given any candidate for any office
since the establishment of the Repub-
lie, to retire from Office with the
good will Of the people of all sections
and all parties.

Men Of Definite Action.

When the results of last weeks cleo
tions are closely studied in all parts of
the country it will be noticed that the
world today appreciates more than ever
men Of action. In several instances it
will be found that such men have sue
cessfully risen to victory against an op-
posing tide that engufed their compan-
ions on the same ticket who did not
have the fresh records of their personal
achievements before the people Of their
state.
This is an epoch in the worlds history
that requires activity, Dreams and
theories that are talked much about,
but are slowly put into execution, are
of little value. Before a mans idea is
a month or year, old at this stage of
the worlds progress some active mind
may have conceived a plan that will
make the novelty of one year ago COM
monplace and almost obsolete.
Men of definite action are required in
every walk of life today.
They are the men who win.

Wall Street Not Affected

Wall street sales for the month of
October, with a national election in
view and war talk in Europe, amounted
to 80, 10000 shares, or considerably
more than an naverage Of |, 900, 600 shares
day. With only two exceptions this
was the largest volume of sales in any
month on record. We do not believe,
says the Commerci II, that it will b.
many years before 1000, 600 shares will
be considered a normal days business
il Wall street. The par value of the
securities listed on the New York
Stock exchange now amount to nearly
one.tenth of the total wealth of the
couptry. As time passes the amount
will increase, a larger proportion of
the wealth Of the country being repre-
sented in securities. Only few years
ago the market was considered active
when 3OO,0O0 shares of stocks were
traded in. The average sales during
1895 were less than 10000 shares a
day. Now market in which the sales
amount to 300. 200 shares is considered
dull.
