do, knowing that deeds, not words, are
what the people desire. Mr.. Roosevelt
is not a tyrant, as some of his op-
ponents would have us imagine. He is
not stern, harsh ruler, whose motto
is RUE or ruin. Mr. Roosevelt is a
plain American citizen, a man rising
from the boyhood of America, over

DEMING WATER WORKS
Col. Smith is Behind 100000 Company
Has just Returned From Chicago Where
He FlOated Bonds Of the Company and
it's Immediate COnstru ctiOn is Assured

Deming is to have water works
system-a complete up-to-date system
to cost $4,000.
Col. P. r. Smith Of the Deming Real
Estate Development company returned
last week from Chicago where he ne
gotiated the sale of bonds for the cons
truction ofsaid system, he was accom-
panied by Chicago parties interested
who came to investigate the grounds
and make arrangements to begin the
work Immediately.
For several years past companies
have been endeavoring to give Deming
water works system but the project
has never advanced much beyond the
organization stage. The difficulty has
been that the companies that have es-
sayed the proposition have always
found themselves unable to finance il.
The Deming Real Estate and Develop
ment company, which will now put in
the system, some time ago bought out
the Deming Land and Water company
which had made several unsuccessful
attempts to give the city a water
works and are now in possession of all
the land and other property necessary
to the successful accomplishment Of
their scheme which is to give to the
city as good a water works system as
can be found in any city of its size in
the country.
Col. Smith in speaking OF the matter
said:
I'VE will give to Deming a complete
and good system. As our company
owns the principal part of the unoccup-
led real estate in Deming 1t will be
greatly to the company's interests to
establish a good spstem which will en-
able us to supply waief To purchasers
of lots and lands, md thi will greatly

'acilitate sales and enhance values.

facilitate sales and enhance values.
"The system will consist Of standard
works with a stand pipe that will fur
nish seventy pound pressure. We have
a shaft sunk to the water strata which
is walled up in cement and brick and
which is capable of furnishing 1000, OOC
gallons Of water every twenty-four
hours. We also have already con-
structed a large ground tank with a
capacity Of twenty-five million gallons.
"The work on the plant is to com.
mence in two weeks and we expect ia
have the system in operation in -four
months. The company owns much
valuable real estate within and without
the corporate limits Of the town and ex-
pect such an improvement as a good
water system will greatly boom the
sale Of real estate generally.
"The company also has other very
important negotiations for improve
ments in prospect in Deming which are
at pr esent not in a condition to be made
public"
Col Smith, had been away from our
town long while, and this is what he
has been doing, working energetically,
as ever. for the advancement Of Deming
There is no doubt that this great enter
prise will meet with our support, for if
there is anything we need more, it is a
water works. Others have failed But
might not we ask ourselves, has It not
been In part, our own fault for not
giving it due encouragement? We
think it will not only enhance the value
Of property, but Of everything in the
way of business. We hope that Col.
Smiths efforts, be crowned with sue
cess.

dance is not completed until the brands
are burned away. II would naturally
be supposed that after having the flesh
in direct contact with this blazing bark,
severe burns would be the result, but
on examination only a few minutes
after the ordeal, no bad effects could
be noted.
The Navajos explain this by saying
that as the dance is to appease the
fury Of the Good Spirit, who is anger
ed on account Of various misdeeds of
the Indians during the year, special
protection is given them, providing
they enter the dance without fear ard
carry out the severe trials Of the dance
with fortitude and bravery. The Nava-
jos are in a specially good hnmor this
year on account the heavy rains and re-
sulting good crops, and so are willing
to break all tribal precedents and give
this dance off the Reservation. AS this
in all probability, will never happen
again, It is certainly well worth con-
siderable time. trouble and expenSe to
any one to come to Albuquerque during
Fair time to see it.

dynamited Friday night and S25 stolen

cleverly executed, which is evidence

The Territorial Fair Association has

extraordinary to the Navajo Indians
and II is expected that Colonel Sellers
will leave in dry or two Tor the reser.
walton, where he will make arrange
ments for the biggest bunch Of wild and
wooly Indians that have ever been off
their native desert. Word has been re-
ceived from Sheriff Jim Elmer of Farm
ington, near the reservation, that a
large number of Indians appear willing
to make this long trip to Albuquerque
to see the sights Of the great fair, to
held October l0-l5 inclusive, and he al
so advises that they can be induced TO
give the celebrated sacred fire dance at
that time. This dance has been seen
by only few white men as 1t ranks
far ahead Of the MOqui snake dance as
a TRIBAL religious function. The modus
operandi of the dance is as follows:
A mammoth fire built of pinon limbs is
first started. and when the flames have
reach,d d the height of forty or more
feet and the heat is like a white-hot
furnace, the dance proper begins. The
Indians are stripped, with the excep-
ton Of animal skins around the loins,
and their bodies are painted white with
the native gypsum, found in the hills of
the reservation. With curious wands
in their hands they begin the dance to
the beating Of drums and the peculiar
whirring Of native instrument which
sounds very much like the tin can on a
string Of a small boy. The dance
usually lasts several hours but in tn ex-
hibition to be given each night at the
Fair only one or two of the movements
will be executed. The most astonsh-
ing spectacle occurs about the middle
Of the dance, when, igniting long strips
of cedar bark at the fire, they dance

with those blazing brands hanging down
their backs, and this feature Of the

that all the cement between the marble
slabs and the mortar between the bricks
supporting the slabs had been eaten

When the first slab was removed thou
sands of small white bugs fell to the
floor. They were exceedingly lively,
but hundreds of them were captured
To demonstrate that the bugs actual

placed in a pail containing several
pounds of the dried mortar. In two days
the plaster had disappeared down the
throats of the insects.
The entire altar will have to be torn
down and rebuilt.

CAT ESTRANGES NEIGHBORS.
Attempt to shoot Feline which Ex-
hibited FOndness for Chickens
Is Followed by Arrest.

Mrs. Daniel Wilson. of Corte MADEIRA,
Cal, owns chickens of blooded stock.
Mrs Katherine Wilson, her neighbor, is
the proud possessor of tom cat, which
cherishes a fondness for the fowls.
Mrs. Katherine Wilson denies her pet
is partial to anything but milk and cat
nip, and attributes the loss of Mrs. Dam
iel Wilson's chickens TO the depredations
of coyotes Her firm conviction on the
subject, coupled with the disappearance,
the other day of two of Mrs. Daniel
Wilson's choicest pullets, prompted the
latter lady to take the law into her own
hands, and she attempted to wing
Thomas with a rusty old carbine.
With proverbial feminine aim, she
missed the feline by 20 feet, but came
near consigning to the happy hunting
grounds William jerks, then and there
working on the roof of the Katherine
Wilson residence. She declares she will
continue to shoot until she hits the cat
Mrs. Katherine Wilson denies that her
neighbOr will be able to annihiate her
pet, but pays her the compliment of ad-
mitting her ability to hit the side of a
house.
To prevent the threatened perforation
OF her residence she caused the arrest OF
Mrs Daniel Wilson.
A constable served the papers, but re-
leased the social leader upon her own
recognizance.

ONLY A CRIME AT A DISTANCE.
Peculiar Point In New Jersey Law.
Brought to Light. Gives Free
dom to wife Deserter.

If crime becomes crime in a cer-
tain state only after man has left that
state, has that State right to demand
his extradition, since that crime neces-
sarily was not committed when he was
in that state?
1t sounds much like delicate ques-
tion raised by the low comedian in a
topsy-turvy comic opera; neverthe-
less. 1t was the point raised by lawyer,
and, what is more. he won the point. It
was a brand new question in New York,
but decision had been made in similar
case in Iowa, and Justice Scott was
guided by the western precedent.
Jacob Zipf a couple of months ago left
his wife and child in Newark. n. j.. and
went to New York city. His wife. in a
Newark court, made charges of deser-
tion and failure to support. He was ar
rested and was confined in the Tombs,
pending the obtaining of extradition pa
pers. Habeas corpus proceedings were
instituted in his behalf, and the other
day he was before Justice Scott. Mr..
Colder, of law firm, said:
"The law of New Jersey is peculiar in
that It does not make desertion alone a
crime, but says that when man fails to
support his wife and family and leaves
the state he is guilty of crime There
fore, he could not have been guilty while
within the jurisdiction of the governor
Of New Jersey. The governor of Iowa
has agreed to a similar point"

MOUSE SINGS LIKE A CANARY.
Rodent Belopsing 60 Enslishman Ex-
hibits Peculiar charlottesville
Explanation of the Cause.


Singing mice are rare, but newspa-
per correspondent writes from Eng
land, asking information about speci-
men he recently captured.
He adds: 1T has been warbling just
like a canary for the last month in oui
workshop, and, although have it in a
cage, 1t still continues to sing"
That mice do occasionally Sing" is
undeniable. Sometimes observers say
that their song" is softer. sweeter and
more delicate than that of the canary,
which one can believe quite easily.
Others go so far as to compare it to that
of warbler, or even a piping bullfinch.
But the question as to why they lift
up their. voices in this tuneful manner
still remains TO be answered.
Three explanations have been sug-
gested:
l. That all mice are potential vocal
lists and can learn to sing, by imitation,
from singing birds.
2. That many mice possess an eXcep-
tional talent for mimicry. together with
a keen sense of The ludicrous.
3. That some mice are subject to
bronchitis. and that the so-called song
is only the wheeling of rodents which
suffer from that distressing complaint.
A certain amount of color is given 10
this last theory by the fact that a mouse
which was caught by the neck in wire
trap not sufficiently strong to kin il
sang" while its throat was under COM
preston, but never again during its
subsequent life as a captive.
