morning would cause ones mind
to revert to the days of the
Tallmadge brothers, when they
would come in with double

The Pecos Valley Land and De-

in at / o'clock this morning with
forty-one newcomers looking for

were from Iowa and Nebraska,
and looked the most prosperous
of any crowd brought here for
some time, They were brought
up from the depot to the Turner
Studio in seven autos and were
photographed. Immediately af-
ter this nine auto loads left to
go overland to Lake Arthur. The
day being an ideal one, the
country will surely look good to
them after being III a cold coun'

They will go on through to Lake

NEW MEXIOO'S
DEVELOPMENT

The development of New Mex
leo during a decade has been
nothing short of marvellous, and
to those unfamiliar with its vast
resources and possibilities, the
study of conditions, and causes
for this remarkable exhibition
of progress, should prove an in
teresting and instructive pur-
suit.
We shall give prominence to
these territories because we be-
lieve in them and the great
possibilities before them, and
are convinced that the eyes Of
the country will shortly be cent
cred upon scenes of extraordin-
airy activity in this section.
Thousands are emigrating from
Eastern states to New Mexico
and Arizona each month. Land
is advancing in value rapidly.
There are a thousand avenues
where men and money can jointly
produce enormous returns.
| New Mexico and Arizona are
not barren wastes; great street.
ches Of country lacking in every.
thing which makes for comfort
and convenience. The progress

these vast tracts of country tes-
tify to the sobriety, earnestNess
and energy of a people who are
as truly American as the New
York plutocrat, who knows fal
too little about the sacrifice, the
fortitude, the unflinching devot
ion to principle, which has made
possible the creation of civil
ization where existed but yester
day the remnants of people
steeped in the traditionalisn

To attempt to write of Alamo

of the alfalfa fields and orchards

the mineral wealth in the ad-
jacent hills and of the possibil-
Iities of it's future when the
great valley in which 1T lies shall
be brought under cultivation,
that the name of the town has
become household word not

of Liberty of New York attended the
annual masque and civic ball of Pride
of Arlington Council No. 172, d. of L.,

although many local people who had
bought tickets did not brave the wind
and the downpour. Great pains had
been taken by most of the participants
to array themselves in handsome or
amusing costumes, and clever disguises
added greatly to the enjoyment.
At II o'clock the grand march took
place, and the judges inspected crit
ically the merry makers as they circled
around in review. Finally they allotted
the prizes as follows: For the men,
J. Mcdonald, as Happy Hooligan: T. F,
Condit, Lord Fauntleroy; Thomas J.
Rogers, Chinaman. For the women,
Miss Hattie Lederman. Sis Hopkins;
