was in Alabama during the civil war
The last time he came through Ala

Talks About Canal.
Referring to the Panama canal, the
president said he did his best to bring
about it's completion for the benefit
of the whole people, but particularly
for the benefit of the Gulf states. Or
iginally, he said, he favored the Mic
aragua route, but when it was demon
strated that it must be the Panama
canal or nothing, he favored the Pana-
ma route, as he wanted to see a canal
built, and one will be built. Notwith-
standing the efforts of certain people
who are striving by their circulation
of false rumors or other methods to
delay or deafeat the construction of
the canal, the president said they
would be disappointed for there is go
ing to be canal Health conditions
on the isthmus, he said, were better
now than ever before. The president
said:
IF we build the canal, we must
protect it and ponce it ourselves. We
must therefore bring up and keep up
our navy to the highest point of eff
ciency."

Stock Show Popular.

The proposed stock show at the ter

greatest business Importance to the en-
tire territory.
A large number Of the best breeders
Of the country have already declared
their intention Of shipping some Of
their best stock to the fair, for exhibi-
tion and sale, and sheepmen, cattlemen
and horsemen will thus be able to do a
srroke Of business while attending the
fair, and at the same time enjoy their
stay.
It pays to breed properly, and at the
stock show all stockmen will have a
splendid opportunity to acquaint them
selves with the good and bad points Of
all the fine breeds of stock, Already
the demand for space warrants exten-
sive provisions for the accommodations

The seventeen year locust is abroad
in some parts of the country, the army
worm is devasting other sections, and
an army Of millers or small butterflies
is very much in evidence in southern
New Mexico. 1t has destroyed the
mesquite blossoms, and in some places
has nearly killed the trees; is working
now on the bird Of paradise" flowers,
and from the present appearance of
that usually beautiful Towering shrub,
they are not benefiting it by any means.
As this pest seems to work princi-
pally on blossoms, and as this is the
coming fruit section of the great south
west, the sooner we understand the
nature of the present invaders and
the best means for their destruction,
the better will II be for the country.

Artsslan Water.

Deming people are just now becom-
ing more than usually interested in the
water question. When the rains are
abundant, we hear very little about
irrigation by any process, but when
real estate becomes too lively for CON-
fort we again begin to discuss the best
means of holding it down.
We have contended for artesian wells
since our connection with the Graphic,
and If we were real estate owner in
this vicinity we should certainly prove
our faith by our works. We believe
there is nothing that will advertise and
bring home seekers here, like the news
that an artesian we'll was a success in
the vicinity of Deming. And what
other outlay, If successful, will add so
much to the land values in this locality?
There is an experienced we'll driller
here at present, who has lately come
from Artesia, where he has been doing
successful business in making arte-
sian wells, and who is so certain that
flowing wells can be made here, that he
is willing to undertake the work. We
understand he has a complete outfit Of
his own and is ready to close a contract
with responsible prrties, ship his ma
chinery to Deming, and commence ope
rations at the earliest day possible

Tom Brown Dead.

We are panied to chronicle the death
of Thomas Z. Brown, cattle man liv-
ing on the Mimbres river in Grant Co.,
which occurred Monday last, He had
been in town for a week previous to his
demise and only returned to his ranch a
few days ago. The sudden and unex-
pected news caused his many friends a
severe shock. Heart failure is suppo
sed to be the cause of his death, as he
was found dead sitting up in bed.
Mr.. Brown was a native of Texas,
having been born near Waco, in that
state, AZ. years ago. He came to New
Mexico in 1891, and engaged in the cat
tie business in which occupation he had
spent his life. He was said, by those
who knew him best to be manly, con-
scientious and noble man, and fit type
Of his illustrious namesake. of whom it
is said, HE never bullied 4 little boy,
and never feared big one." He was

The eldest daughter is living in Wins
low, Arizona, and the others in New
Mexico. He also has brother living
in Globe Arizona, who arrived in Dem
ing, Wednesday. Although his loving
voice is stilled, and his kindly heart has
ceased to beat, Tom. Brown will for
ever be affectionately remembered, fol
those who knew him best loved hin
most. May he see q more glorious sur
rise, and may the fu ;ure recompenst
him for the storms and struggles Of thi'
life, is the wish of friends and foe
alike. Peace to his ashes.

On the following day he appeared in

By reason of her having turned states
