The Park.

A local capitalist is figuring on
taking up the park prosition and
bringing the much needed pleas.
ure retreat to a successful point
of issue. He has a 20-acre tract
Of land just south of town that
would be a convenient and ideal
spot for a city park. The gentle
man has ample loose change to
carry out his plans and there is
good reason to believe that he
will undertake the proposition.
With Deming's increasing pop
ulation and Importance, there is
an urgent demand for a nice lit
tie park for the town. 1t would
be a capital idea to erect a band
stand at some convenient place
in the park, as a good band could
easily be got up in the town that
would give entertaining evening
concerts and thereby add much
to the pleasure of all in connec-
ton with the natural scenery.
We hope to see work start al
an early date on the park.

INTERNATIONAL GATHERING At
WASHINGTON TO WAR ON
TUBERCULOSIS
MEDICAL SCIENTISTS
OPENED BY SECRETARY coRTEL
YOU, WITH DR.. RosT. KOCH
ON THE STAND.

Washington.-Medic scientists rep
resenting every civilized nation united
Monday with their brothers in Amer
iLa in an effort to solve the problem OF
how best to cope with tuberculosis.
The occasion was the official opening
Of the sixth triennial international con-
gress on tuberculosis.
The great auditorium Of the new ma
tional museum was filled with men who
lave consecrated their best talents to
the study Of tuberculosis, representa-
tives of the sovereigns Of foreign coun-
tries and high officials of the govern
ment.
When Secretary of the Treasury Cor
telyou. as the personal representative
Of the President, officially declared the
congress open, there were grouped on
the platform such distinguished men
as DR.. Robert Koch, discoverer Of the
tubercule bacillus; DIR. A. Calmette of
Paris, DIR. r. w. Philip of Edinburgh.
founder of the first tuberculosis disBen-
sary; DIR. Simon Won Unterberger, hon
orary physician to his majesty's court
Of St. Petersburg, and many others.
When DR.. Koch arose to respond in
behalf of the German government there
was a remarkable demonstration in his
honor, men and women waving hats
and handkerchiefs for nearly five min
utes.
The official welcome on behalf of
the United States government was ex-
tended by Secretary Cortelyou. Then
followed the response of the official
representatives OF thirty foreign coun-
tries.
When his name was called, DR.. Koch
declared that the German takes par
ticular interest in all that tends to the
solution of the tuberculosis problem
and that his government would watch
with the keenest interest the delibera-
tions of this congress. The tuberculo-
sis situation in Germany, he said, has
become distinctly favorable during the
past three decades, the mortality from
tuberculosis in Prussia having been re-
duced practically one-half.
1--WE are active in trying not only to
maintain but enhance the diminution." "
said the speaker. For a more thor
ough study Of tuberculosis in all Its as
poets, and in order to find new ways
and means for effectually combating
tuberculosis, tho Robert Koch Stiftung
has been created" All nations, he
added, would benefit by the work of
that institution.
Dr. Jee, the Chinese delegate, de-
clared that Notwithstanding tuberculo-
sis has strong hold upon his country,
his government was doing little for the
prevention of the disease. He ex-
pressed the hope that the next con-
gress would be held in China.
At the conclusion of the responses
to Secretary Cortelyou's address the
congress adjourned and will not again
meet in general session until October
3rd.
