ARKANSAS NAY GET MISSOURI RATES

The prediction is being made
in official railroad circles that if
the railroads of Missouri actually
put into effect-as they seem
likely to do if they can avoid the
injunction put on them Thursday
the compromise passenger
rates proposed. and which the
Rock Island Frisco system has
already announced, the roads of
Arkansas will follow suit, if they
do not actually join in the move
ment proposal made in Missouri
il: ii
Two-thousand mile inter-
changeable book on certificate
plan ct 2 cents per mile.
Five-hundred mile book, good
for bearer on all lines in Missouri,
ct 2 Ia cents per mile
Five-hundred mile book, good
for individual only on issuing
lire Of railroad, at 2 Ia cents
per mile.
The Scent basis will be adher-
ed to in computing ether rates,
10 per cent reduction being made
to round-trip tickets. .,----.e
It is further pointed out that
few people in Arkansas seem to
remember that at the time the
Arkansas railroads secured an
injunction Of the 2-cent rate Or
der and raised the passenger
rates to 3 cents. they also put
into effect a system of mileage
books of rates ranging from 2 to
2 IL cents a mile. The scheme
provides for 2,O00-mile inter-
changeable books on the certifi-
cate plan at 2 cents a mile, and
/, OOO-mile book, good for indi-
vidual only on issuing line, at
2 IL cents a mile.

THE BANK OF DEMING.

It's banks best bespeak commun-
ity's prosperity and are its bulwarks
of safety in sras Of depression. They
may be first 10 feel an advancing tide
Of fortune and to float to dividend an
chorage on its favoring food. but con-
versely in the dark days of panic they
ever stand ready with a succoring life
line for every worthy, breaker-threatt-
ened enterprise and to pilot it through
the dangerous shoals Of financial strin-
gency 10 4 safe harbor of monetary
success-
And in the old established Bank Of
DeminR the citizens Of Luna county
have breakwater OF tried and true
Gibraltar-like strength against any
possible hurricane OF financial dsas-
ter. During the recent panic II was
one Of the few banking institutions Of
the Southwest that in no wise re-
stricted Withdrawals and 30 far as its
depositors were concerned no financial
depression existed.
The Bank Of Deming was established
in 1892, its first president being ]. Sloat
Fassett, Of New York City, and its
first cashier Lou H. Brown, whose re-
cent regretted demise was deplorable
loss TO the community. The present
executive officers are John Corbett,
Pres; u. A. Mahoney, Vice Pres; A.
G. Raithel, Cashier, and H. C. Brown,
Asst. Cashier, and these with Mrs.
Anna c. Brown comprise the board of
directors. All are names that are syn
onyms Of integrity and success In New
Mexico's business and financial world.
The bank, as per its last sworn state
ment, makes the following rarely equaled
showing: Capital (paid up) $50. .O0O. 90;
surplus and undivided profits, SIS. 600. 90
deposits (Jan. 4, 1901 $2O4, ,07l.25.
Whilst all its officers and directors
take abiding and active interest in the
banks affairs 1t is but just to say that
to its cashier, Arthur C. Raithel, upon
whom its practical management and
financial pilotage largely devolves, is,
in great measure, due its splendiC
success.

concern Of more moment to the aver
age person than the menu OF his daily
cuisine.
Hence, to Demingites the purchase
OF the Detroit Restaurant month ago
byJ. d. Fowler was a matter of graft
flying dietary Importance.
II is no departure from the conserva-
tism Of this column to class the Detroit

leading catering establishment to the
wants Of the inner man between FL
Paso and Tucson.
The Detroit dining roem is slightly
and commodious, being 25x25 in size,
is tastily papered In subdued colors,
neatly furnished and appointed, and
its tables are supplied with the best
obtainable in the market, prepared ia
, the highest style Of the gastronomiC
art. Withal prices are reasonable anC
the Detroit is the favorite dining place
for our leading business and pro
fessional men.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fowler, accompanied
by two sons, one Of whom, d. Z. Fow

New Mexico Champion.

The four days roping and
bronco riding contest at Cowboy
Park in Juarez came to an end
at Z o'clock Sunday night, the
final days program being wit
messed by the largest crowd that
ever attended a contest of this
sort in the southwest.
The Cowboy Park record was
lowered, and a new champion
roper of the southwest was de-
clared in the person of Ed Hall,
of Mutt, N. NJ, who tied his two
steers in the championship con-
test in % and 20 seconds, re-
spectively, averaging q seconds
for the two. This gave him the
long end of the $500 purse Of
fered. W. X. Hale, of Fairfax,
Okla, took second money, with
an average time of % 3-5 sec
onds, while Kelly Phillips, of
Mutt, N. NJ, was third with an
average of 20 seconds.
The roping was the best by
far ever seen at Cowboy Park.
