More Houses.

A little over a year ago, an old
resident of Deming and We editor
counted up the vacant houses in
town SO far as our observations
extended. The unoccupied dwell
lings numbered nearly thirty.
Last fall the towr began to fill
up and houses to be in demand.
Quite a number of residences
were built and when spring came
there was a demand for more
houses, and this demand has been
increasing during the summer.
More have been built, most of
them being engaged long before
completion. Today there is not
a vacant house in town, and
every shell and shack that is at
all habitable is occupied, and the
cry is still for more house room.
Contractors and builders have in
hand all they can possibly do for
this year, and now the supply of
lumber at the yards is exhausted,
causing a practical suspension of
work. If the winter season is
favorable, and it generally is,
scores of dwellings will be built
and under way by the first OF
next March.
People from the more eastern
states are just finding out that
for favorable location, for eli.
mate, for pure water, for adapta.
bility of the land to everything
but the citrus fruits, Luna coun,
ty presents advantages superior
to any locality in the great wes'
where free homes can be haC
under the homestead and deser
land laws.
Let the conditions here becom,
generally known, and homeseek
ers will be rushing our way.

gardens a mile east of town.
There, in this same valley land,
they see more fruit and truck"
growing than they ever saw be-
fore on the same number of acres,
and all thrifty and of the best
flavor and quality. Here, hum
dreds of miles nearer the eastern
markets than the California gar
dens, are thousands of acres,
waiting for the man with the

wonderful, and our lands will in

Department Of Mines.

Results are the outcome of such
work as the American Mining
Congress is now doing. More
over, the results will be of indi-
vidual and collective Importance
to mining men in all parts of the
country,
When the Legislators of the ma
ton next meet in Washington,
there will not be one among them
who has not heard the arguments
for a federal department of
mines, and a large number of
them will support a measure to
establish such a department. in
the legislatures of the different
states in coming sessions, infor-
nation will be available regard
ing the kind of laws that are
most effective in checking promo
ton frauds. The state legisla-
ture also will know the kind of
drainage district law wanted by
mining men. 1t will be posi-.
Bile, therefore, to secure a desir-
able uniformity in this legisla.
ton. This and much other work
Of a similar character, the Amer.
lean Mining Congress now has
well in hand.
On the new basis, the Ameri
can Mining Congress has occupi
ed an assured position among tn,
industrial institutions of the ma
ton. A membership in the con
gress is an investment that n,
mining man can afford to over
look.

VIZ WYNN viz ResSN NV yNeAos
In picking up a little pamphlet
entitled Lama County, New
Mexico" we find many facts that
ought to be kept constantly be-
fore the public. Deming is not
a gate city, or a pass city from
the outside world into our terri
tory. 1t is the one point where
the routes leading into New Mex
leo center. 1t is the one town
that stands in the midst of a fer
tile plain, the meeting place of
the great continental roads that
cross the territory, the objective
point of several railway projects
that are bound to mature within
the next four or five years. Dem
ing on account of its location, and
its many natural advantages, is
bound to become one of the lead
ing towns of the great southwest.
And right here let US quote from
the pamphlet above referred to:
THE location of Deming is an
ideal one, standing as it does on
a broad level plain, at an altitude
of about 4,300 feet, and surround
ed with picturesque mountains.
1t always enjoys a cool, refresh
ing breeze in summer, tempering
the heat of July and August and
rendering the nights delightfully."-
cool and pleasant, while its south
ern latitude prevents severe cold
in winter and assures a mild, even
temperature the year around.
From a commercial point of view
also, it is the natural supply point
of vast region of country, fur
nishing supplies for the cattle
ranches for miles to the east,
west and south, and for farmers
of the great Mimbres Valley to
the north, while the mining
camps in various parts of Luna
and Grant Counties to the west
and to the north, come to Dem.
ing for their supplies and to ship
their ores. The water of Deming
is noted for its purity and the
abundance Of the supply, the
Mimbres River sinking into tn,
gravel about twenty miles NORTH
of Deming, running beneath tn,
surface in an ineXhaustibl,
stream directly under the town
The water is as pure and soft a.
rain water, this making the tow
with its excellent railway facili
ties, a particularly favored poin
for homes, for gardening, TO
fruit culture, for general farming
and stock raising and for a scor
of enterprises depending on tn
development of the country 70
success"
Last year the Santa Fe con
pany landed from 200 to 30
homeseekers per day in the Pecc
valley, and the result is seen
the rapid growth and develoI
ment of that section of the terri
tory. The farming lands are b,
ing taken and improved, maxim
demands on the towns for needle
supplies for the surroundin
country. Capital at once r,
spends to the demands of Il
people, and both town and coul
try grow and prosper. Fly
hundred pounds of butter p,
day is now the product of
creamery in a portion of that va
ley that a few years ago won
hardly support a jack rabbit.
The railroads made the VALE
accessible. immigration, a lit
capital and lots of energy are d
ing the rest.

Low Water in Snake River.

The Snake river yesterday regis
tered IL feet above low water. which
Is the lowest record In the office for
this time of year. The gauge regis
tered IL feet late In August last year
and during the extreme cold weather
In February the water reached the
one-foot stage for a short time only
Much interest has been aroused in the
situation and predictions have been
made that a new low water record
will be established. At the present
time the river is falling at the rate Of
one-tenth of foot In two days.
It is not believed, however, that the
steamer traffic on the river will be in
terrupted by the low water. In those
places where shoals would block the
channel the government dredge boat
will be utilized in removing the OBJ
structions and where the dredge boat
can work the steamers will have little
trouble in navigating the stream. The
dredge boat requires more water than
any of the steamers when loaded and
by careful attention to the bars during
the next few weeks It is believed the
steamers will have little trouble In eX-
treme low water-Lewiston Tribune.
