The action Of the retiring county
officials in demanding an immediate
investigation Of the county records
is q just one and will no doubt be
granted by the incoming commits
sioners. In view of all that was
said during the campaign and the
malicious insinuations thrown out
by would-be politicians, it is only
just and fair to the people and the
officers that complete investiga-
ton should be made. And this
should be made by some one who
is thoroughly competent and who'll
ly disinterested as far as politics is
concerned. The matter of expert
ing the county books is no longer a
political issue but one in which
every citizen Of the county has an
equal interest and every county
officer is entitled to fair anG
impartial treatment. If any
discrepancy is found let the blame
fall where it belongs whether h.
be democrat or republican and j
nothing is wrong let the peopl
know it.

There's q change in things all
around at the P. & l. N. head
quarters and the cause Of it all can
only be surmised. But the gene
eral opinion prevails that prepare
tions are under way for the extern
sion of the line to Meadows and
probably further. Things look
very suspicious anyway, but moth
ing is given out by General Mana
ger Heigho or his assistants that
such is the case. The offices of
the company are being changed to
new quarters in the building and
are also being increased to nearly
double the space they have occupied
for some time past, although the
Office force remains the same. To
add to the suspicion the rolling
stock is being over hauled, one stall
of the round. house has been con-
verified into . car and repair shop
where workmen are now construct
ing q caboose and freight cars
Then too, the road bed has been
gravelled and widened and culverte
and bridges strengthened. What
does it all mean? Is the P. & l.
N. to be extended? Anyway, VIZ
shall see what we shall see.--

mon investigation causing surprise
is the existence OF church courts,
dealing with temporal affairs.
Testimony has been given as to the
working Of such tribunals, there
even being a system of appeals. In
one case q tract Of land was in dis
pute, and the losing litigant nearly
lost such chance of salvation as
the Mormon Church holds out, by
refusing for a time to accept the
verdict. She yielded when con-
vinced that her soul was Of greater
value than her acres.
Probably there is not another
organization in the United States
with the gall to set itself up as a
judicial authority, and apply its
own code, regardless Of statutory
law. The Chinese Highbinders OF
of San Francisco do this, but they
are reckoned to be living in heather
darkness. The scorn utterly the
duly constituted courts, even in
relation to such serious acts as
murder. However, there is not
involved in their demeanor any
threat to society. They are aliens
in no manner concerned with the
affairs of the land. They do not
know who is President Of the Unit.
ed States, and do not care, fol
they have nothing in common with
the people about them, and they
could no more appreciate what we
think is CIVILIZATION than they could
fly. They do not think in termi
that can be grasped by any but
the Oriental mind.
The Mormon is in our midst, ant
a source OF discomfort to the midst
His defiance is brazen, deliberate
and the climax Of arrogance. TIL,
attitude assumed by him has al
the essence of treason. Whethe
or not the church has the power t.

than if it involved nothing but tn

The New Santa Fe Line.

The Santa Fe is now engaged in the
construction of very important line
through Arizona and through the very
best part of the country. This new
line will practically follow the Gila
river through the territory. Il has
been completed from Phoenix to Flor
ence and is now in operation. From
Florence the road is intended to follow
the Gila river to point above Duncan,
on the New Mexico line, and then
across the country to Deming. From
Phoenix the line goes over the present
Santa Fe north and south road to
Wickenburg and goes fyom there west
to Yuma. From Yuma it will 20 on to
San Diego. The building of this line
will give the Santa Fe two trunk lines
from the Missouri river to the coast.
a new road is now being built from
point twenty-five miles west of Albu-
querque, known as the Belen cutoff,
which will connect with the Pecos Val
ley, with the Santa Fe going north
from Pecos, Texas, up through Okla
homa and the Indian Territory.
1t is well-known fact that the
Belen cutoff in New Mexico and Kan
sas is already under construction. and
other short cuts will be built. The
Santa Fe expects, with these contem-
plated Improvements, which are very
extensive in character, to be able to
make much better time, by several
hours, from Chicago to Los Angeles
than has ever been done before. and
thus he in a position to still be the con.
trolling factor in the through business

head of cattle being shipped annually
during the early summer months.
In the northwestern part, along the
upper Mimbres, fine farms are located
and good crops Of alfalfa, wheat, corn,
and orchard products are raised. Vege-
tables are produced in great abundance
and of the best quality, including pota-
toes, sweet potatoes, beans, peas,
beets, celery, onions, pumpkins, squash

The soil in the valley is deep rich allu

Deming is health resort. and the
many cures affected by its climate in

There are very few days when children

The spring and fall days are pleasant,
an unbroken combinationof cool breezes
and warm sun. Deming is blessed with
sunshine, pure air and pure water; a
combination that gives life, routs dis

Let Us Have Peace.

We're half the power that fills the
world with terror,
Were half the wealth bestowed on
camps and courts,
Given to redeem the human mind
from error,
There were no need of arsenals and
forts.
The warriors name would be a name
abhorred;
And every nation that should lift
again
Its hand against brother, on its
forehead
Would wear forevermore the curse
of Cain.
Down the dark future, through long
generations,
The echoing sounds fainter and then
cease;
And like a bell, with solemn, sweet
vibrastions,
| hear once more the voice of Christ
say, "Peace!"
Peace!-and no longer from its bra
zen portals
The blast of wars great organ
shakes the skies;
But, beautiful as songs of the inn

The holy melodies of love arise.
