Farmers Getting Busy.

The people Of the Mimbres
Valley are waking up to the i'm
portance of irrigation by means
of pumps. This method is extern
sively used in Southern Califor-
nia, making the lands thus irri-
gated worth from 500 to 81, 900
per acre. The late improvements
in pumps make irrigation thereby
almost continuous as artesian
wells, and vastly less expensive,
since it costs from 81 800 to $3,-
600 to dig and pipe an artesian
well in the artesian belt. The
shallow wells in the famous MINI
bres Valley are dug and piped
very cheaply and pumping done
at very small cost. Mr.. Ralph
c. Ely has demonstrated water
can be raised at a cost of one
cent for each 5000 gallons and
who could ask it cheaper? This
makes farming in the Mimbres
a very inviting proposition and
vastly to be preferred over coun-
tries subject to both drouth and
too much rain, or even with
bitches that run only occasionally.
Among the enterprising citi-
zens who are putting in new
pumping plants for this year are;
L. 4. Burdick, 5 miles southeast,
% h p plant, expects to farm 200
acres; Shull Bros, 3 miles east.
% h p plant, will experiment in
sugar beets; Cren5haw & Gerst,
2 IL miles cast, % h p plant,
will farm about 80 acres; Sam
Schwing, l-2 mile east, % h p
plant, will raise alfalfa; 4. D..
Osborne, 2 miles southeast has
Just received a new plant and
will plant about 10 acres; DR.. T..
S. Milford last week received q
new outfit to be installed on his
farm 3 niles southeast of town;
d. Fisher, who farmed 5 acres
last year, will farm 10 acres this
year. Quite a number of other
plants are in contemplation,
which will add greatly to the
prosperity Of the farming inter.
ests of the valley.
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1908-01-03
Raised q Good Crop.

Mr.. W. p. Boyd was one Of
those who made Il success of
farming last year, considering
the amount of ground he planted,
Mr.. Boyd had an acre Of melons,
a half acre of tomatoes, and an
acre Of beans, from which he re-
allied 5000 from his melons, $500
from his tomatoes and $50 from
his beans, besides what his family
used and some tomatoes, which
he canned and still has on hand.
He had 10 hens from which he
realized $S a month, besides the
eggs they used and some chick
ems raised,
Mr.. Boyd's place is three miles
south of town. He took" the
land and paid $3.50 for his pump
ing plant, People of Deming who
purchased melons of Mr.. Boyd
last summer haven't forgotten
the fine flavor of the melons and
will watch for his wagon next
summer.

The town Of Hondalc twelve

they are prospectors and not
spectators. They are men who
work. Eight or ten pumping
plants have recently been put in,
and others are to follow soon.
Claims are being fenced and land
broken preparatory to actual
farming.

The latest invention in the line
Of a pumping plant is the Solar
engine, which was used success
fully all last year by the inventor
in the city of Philadelphia, though
he claims he had only two perfect
days free from cloud or rain.
The machine is run 10y the rays

gIaSr covering, separated = or 3
inches. The plate glass covered
sun box, 20 by GO feet, is the en-

now putting down an eight foot

pumping plant and will ia a

Mr.. F. Cox owns the store and
is enjoying a good trade. He is
also a good farmer.
Trexler & Harrison Bros, Of
Bristow, Okla. have just arrived,
bringing with them a trainload
of horses, cattle, hogs, chickens,
farming implements, pumping
machinery, etc. Jon Mcclure
and Rus Beasley, of Colorado,

valuable property and are gone
back after their goods. j. P.

Times Looking Up.

A car load of laborers passed
through Deming Tuesday en-
route from Ell Paso to Globe, to
resume work in the mines, and
another car load passed through
Wednesday. They were men who
were out of work and practically
broke, as a result of the recent
money panic. This is good news
and it is hoped the worst Of the
panic is over.

Easily the Crandest Social
Affair Of the Season

The Sixteenth Annual ball CIV
en- under the auspices of Deming
Lodge No. 20 Knights of Pythias
went eff in a blaze Of glory on
New Years eve. The Knights
have made these occasions nota-
BILE in the past, and their last eff
fort only added to their already
enviable relu alton. This was
by far the most notable social
function of the year that is past
and gone, and those who failed
to dance the old year out and the
new year in missed a most en-
joyablc evening. when music,
dancing and feasting caused the
hours to fly away on the wings
of pleasure.
The beautiful ball room Of the
Harvey House was tastcfully dec
Grated for the occasion. Festoons
Of California pepper, mistletoe,
and holly were draped from the
ceilings and chandeliers in a most
artistic and pleasing manner.
The music pavilion was a realis-
tic reproduction of a Grecian
portico. The dosic columns and
cornis decorated with chaplets Of
mistletoe would nave made the
ancient senator's of Syracuse.
from whom the order takes its
name, feel thoroughly at home
beneath its classic shadows.

There were forty-seven couples
to keep perfect step to the per-
feet music by Prof, Meyers or
chestra, who came from FL Paso
to play for this occasion. We
could not undertake to mention
all those present or describe their
costumes, for matrons in evening
dress, composed Of some soft ma.
terial artistically draped, seemed
little oder than their graceful
daughters, whom they met in
the beautiful evolution Of the
Virginia Reel. No more elegant
ly dressed assemblage of gentle.
men ever met together in Dem
ing, and no more beautifully
gowned assemblage of fan
women ever assembled anywhere
The banquet served at eleven
thirty was elegant and substan
tial and the strains of Home

the morning breeze as the ap
preaching rays of light gave ev
idence of the dawn of a new da!
and year.
The X. P. ball of '07 will cvel
live in the memory Of those pres
ent as a shining milestone il
their lives. May the Knights
never lose their knightly bearing
and favor us with as beautiful
and fitting ending for 1903.

ORDERS CULVERTS TO
CARRY AWAY WATERS
GOD WILL BE DIVERTED TO
ARROYO SEC0
City Engineer VIII Devise Measures
to Protect Property Owners
Whose Buildings Will Be
Jeopardized

The trouble of three or four years
standing in 4Garvanza over storm water
that accumulates in pools in some parts
of that district was settled by the
council yesterday ordering culYerts
built under Pasadena avenue and Mar
mion way. The culverts will be laid TO
the rights-of-way of the Salt Lake and
pacific Electric. The city will thus
wash its hands of possible damage suits
and it will be up to the railways TO
Law culyerts under their portions or
suffer consequences from angry prop
erty owners.
Placing these culverts will cause the
storm water that now gathers in Gar
Yanza. to flow down on what is known
as the Metz tract, on the edge of the
Arrovo Seco, and about twenty llttle
homes i'm that tract will be damaged
nv tbe water unless some way is found
to care for it after it reaches TINS
In order that these little property
owners may not be made to surfer I'M
necessarily in spite of the fact they
have huilt their homes in the way OF d
natural water course, the council IN
structed the city engineer to. devise
some manner by which the water can
be taken care of. ....
tt has been suggested that arroyo
Seco drive be paved and thus form
water course, or that storm wall pc
hniIt along this street that VIII divert
the water and carry it into the arroyo
