The first auto has struck DEM
ing with a pronounced glory. 1t
landed here last Tuesday morn
ing and was ordered by Mr.. H..
Nordhaus, the merchant prince.
The machine is the famous REQ
make;fmanufactured at Lansing,

the REQ touring car and is GER
tainly a beauty. The car has
been whirling about considerably
since its arrival and everybody's
curiosity has been allayed.
The auto is doubtless the ad-
vance guard of other metropoli-
tan airs Deming will take on
one of these days.

Pleased with Arrangement.

The fairness and business like
arrangement of the GRAPHIC in
donating a column of that paper
TO its readers and all citizens of
the valley to comment, criticise
and express their opinions of
things in general and public
matters in particular, is a great
boon to the citizens and tax pay
ers of Luna county, and should
be appreciated by all, for moth
ing helps to civilize, settle and
build up country as much as a
newspaper that is conservative
in its editorials and does not
hesitate to place the blame for
any wrong where it belongs.
And the best way to keep up
with wrong doers is to keep in
touch with all public spirited
citizens; let them know that they
may bring the knockers, pull
hackers and non-progressive ones
before the bar of public opinion,
and they will soon weed out the
drones of the country. But, a
town cannot have a good news
paper to fight their battles unless
they do some more than send in
their communicate ions; they
should send in their subscrip-
tions and their advertising. Let
us do our utmost to build up the
GRAPHIC, and by so doing we
build our town and show to the
world that We are trying to do
something.
Here is mine, Mr.. Editor.

PRESIDING JUDGE THIRD JUmcIAI.

To THE HON. FRANK w. PARKER.
PRESIDING JUDGE THIRD JUDICIAL
DISTRICT:
We, the Grand Jury, duly empsn.
nelled In and for the County Of Luna
for the May term, have investigated
all matters brought before US and have
found six true bills and six no bills.
We have also invesli gated the var
ious County Offices and attach reports
Of subcommittee.
We also investigated the collection OF
Road Tax for 1906 and find that A. H.
Thompson, appointed for Deming Dis
trict, has collected money from resi-
dents Of other Districts, particularly of
Hermanos and Columbus, and that the
funds so collected have not been re-
served for said Hermanos and Column
bus districts, and we recommend that
the County Commissioners refund the
money to said districts, and further
recommend that the Board Of County
Commissioners appoint Road Super
visors for the various districts.
We commend the law passed by the
last Legislature making Il imperative
for Testimony taken before the Grand
Jury to be written by typewriter and
preserved. and wish to thank the court
for having provided the present Grand
Jury with so efficient n person M Miss
Minnie McGlinchy. whom VIC desire to
thank for the many courtesies extended
to the Grand Jurors.
We also recommend that in future
the Grand Jury be provided with more
suitable quarters and we find that there
is now fund of over S7,000.00 in the
Treasurer's hand to the credit of the
Court House fund and that steps DO
taken toward building Court House
for Luna County.
We also recommend that in case
where evidence is insufficient for Grand
Juries to ind a True Bill that said
cases should be disposed OF by the
Justice of the Peace and not take up
the time Of the Grand Jury.
As there is no futher business we
ask TO be discharged.
