as the county has, while the $500 feet
that passes Mr.. Courchesne's house,
built by Mr. COurchesne, is the best
piece of straight macadam road the
county ever had built. This road fol-
lows the river for several miles and
when completed, is destined to become
as popular as the lower road for
driveway.
Building for Permanency.
1t has been the desire to build with
a view to permanency. Bridges and
culvertS and spillways have been built
ginning than wood, but far cheaper in
the long run On the road from Ysleta
TO Clint, there are IS of these struc-
lures, ranging from the 90 foot span
across the canal to the five foot cul-
verts- On the road from FL Paso to
Anthony, there are six concrete bridges
and eight concrete spillways, built for
the flood waters to run over where
bridges would be too expensive. One
Of the finest specimens of concrete
bridge work is that across the Franklin
canal five miles below the city on the
Ysleta road.
Ell E'aso's Share.
While the city of Ell Paso pays 20
percent of the taxes that is building
this road, and while not more than $780,
600 of the bond issue viii be expended
within the city limits in carrying this
road through Ell Paso, yet the advan-
tages from joining the\ city to the val
ley with a good road. are so apparent
as to need no argument. The future
OF this city depends upon the valley.
There are $4,000 acres below the city
that can be placed under irrigation
There are about 15.O 600 acres now under
cultivation. The road 10 Anthony will
lie adjacent to 1900 acres of land ca
Pable Of irrigation, with a large part
OF this already under cultivation Moth
ing else can equal a good road in unit
ing socially and commercially the city
and the country. Besides the road is
as much source of pleasure to the
city folks as it is Of profit to the plant
ers. Automobile traffic is as heavy as
that of the farm wagons. The policy
started of planting trees along the
Hsleta road will be continued as to the
other roads, and in time a trip over
the road, especially along the banks
or the canal below Ysleta or where the
river flows along the upper road, will
be one Of the most pleasant diversions
this country will afford.

PERMANENT EXHIBIT BY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Jars Three Feet Tall Containing Ap-
plies, PIums, Grapes, Pears, Nee
tarines and Other Fruit.

Deming, n NJ, June 1.-THE cham
Der of commerce is installing an ex-
hibit in the room adjoining the sec
retary's office in the Deckert block
The most striking part of the exhibit
is the fruit. There are twelve Jars
three feet tall containing apples,
plums. grapes, pears, 7ectarines and
other fruits perfectly preserved in
formaldehyde. There is also one of
these tall jars containing extract of
canaigre, as well as specimens of
canaigre, showing the various prod
ucts of this root. There are also spe-
cimens of preserves and canned fruits
which would be hard to equal. As the
season progresses, this exhibit will be
added to, until there is truly repre-
sentative exhibit gotten together.
The Deming Ice and Electric Com
pany have gotten up the poles five
miles into the country with incredible
rapidity. The poles for the main line
are already up, and the wires are
being strung, The farmers are busy
getting their wells in shape to install
pumps and motors. 1t is feared thai
the installing of these motors will be
too late in the season to get in a croI
of anything but beans. However
since beans net forty dollars per acre
in the valley, there is not much cause
to complain.

The President told the graduating

great advantages of higher education
for women, the President said, is the
independence it gives her in the
choice of the kind of life which she
is to lead.

though the new fire insurance rates

become known that they will be from
20 to 40 per cent higher than the old

affect business property and for this

Governor Hilario Will APP

for Festivity

Tourists With Kodaks VIII Be
Allowed to Photograph
Weird Dance.

Word was received here that the
governor of the Tesuque Indians
has set Saturday of this week as the
day for holding the Tablita and other
dances, invoking the aid of San Lo-
renzo to procure good crops and elab-
crate preparations now are being
made for the ceremonial dance which
begins at or 10 a. m, and will CON
tinue until ) p. m.
J. S. Candelario who is familiar With
the Indians of Tesuque and who spoke
to several of them this morning stat
ed that the Tablita dance will be par
ticularly interesting as the squaws
will take part in it and will have
boards on their heads. Mr.. Candelario
says that to encourage an outpouring
of tourists and others who have not
seen this dance the governor is going
to allow the use of kodaks and came
ras at the dance, a small fee being
the consideration.
Tesuque is about eight miles from
the city and arrangements may be
made to get carriages to make the trip
in time for the dance Williams &
Rising, the liverymen, are preparing
to take out parties as a number CT
Santa Feans have expressed the de-
sire to attend the dance and there
are many tourists in the city this
week.
An Indian dance is a sight worth
seeing and especially when the dance
has a deep religious meaning
1t is said to be an old custom to of
fer up special prayers on De Vargas
day which is next Sunday for rain
and the good crops which will result
and it may be that Tesuque will carry
out this custom, changing the day to
Saturday instead OF Sunday, thus not
to conflict with the ceremonies which
will be held in the city and largely at
tended.
The last dance held near Santa Fe
was at San Ildefonso during the win
ter and was largely attended by San
| ia Feans. The trip TO the pueblo was
made in carriages, and tallyho, and
was a thoroughly enjoyable affair. al
though the weather was a trife cool
for open carriages.

JOHNSON AND JEFERIES
IN GOOD HEALTH
Examining Physician Declares Both
to Be Superb Specimens of Phys
icaI Manhood.

Ben Lomond, Calf, June 2.--Jim
Jeffries is now in magnificent condi-
tion and if no accident or sudden i'll
ness befalls him, he will enter the
ring on July for the championship
battle with Jack Johnson in perfect
physical trim. That is the gist of a
statement issued by DR.. Charles v.
Cross, U. S, examining physician of
San Francisco, following the most
painstaking examination the big fell
low has had since he began training.
I'm the course of my practice I have
examined $4,000 to 10000 men," said
Cross, land I have never seen any
thing so wonderful as to strength,
power and endurance as this man.
| found nothing to indicate that the
stories of hidden disease in Jeffries
are true" Concerning Jack Johnson
i whom DR.. Cross examined recently,
he said: Gas to comparing the ply
sique of Johnson and Jeffries there
is not large margin of difference.
Both are in fine bodily trim. John
son, like Jeffries, is sound throughout
Johnson has considerable more fat on
his body but when the pair step into
| the ring I believe they will be almost
even matched so far as condition
goes" Again speaking of Jeffries he
said: "He is practically in fighting
condition now"

RAILROAD OFFICIALS SPEND

Better Train Service
Discussed

Carlsbad, n. NJ, June "A party
of railroad officials spent the greater
part of the day in Carlsbad and the
Carlsbad project. In the party were
w. c. Kouns, general manager of the
western division; George Starweather,
superintendent of the E. Ry. of N. NJ;
c. B. Strohn, superintendent of trans
portation. The party was taken out in
automobiles and shown the town and
part of the project. Late in the after
noon the car was attached to the pas
senger going to Pecos. Mr.. Kouns ex-
pressed his pleasure in seeing the
great advance made here since the
last time he was taken through the
country, nearly a year ago. The mat
ter of better train service from Carls-
bad to Pecos was discussed and the
people were assured that the railroad
was anxious to accommodate the peo-
pie to the best ability. This may re-

WOULD RUN BRYAN
FOR FOURTH TIME.

]. w. Norment, real estate dealer,
banker and lawyer, has just returned
from Mississippi where he was prom
inent in an array of legal counsel in a
murder case. Mr. Norment is presi-
dent of the Capital City bank of this
city and is one of New Mexico's boost
erS.
Mr.. Taft is not so popular in Mis-
sissippi today as formerly" said Mr..
Norment, "and Mr.. Roosevelt is not
liked at all Mississippi is still hank
ering after a Democrat for president
and | really believe that if they
thought Bryan could win in 1912 they
would put him up and run him with
solid backing. The fact that Bryan
has been defeated three times would
not kill his chances, in my opinion,
and in Mississippi Bryan today is re-
garded as the man who foretold ac-
curately more events than any one
else in his public speeches and edi-
torials."
Mr.. Norment said that the crops are
25 days behind in Mississippi but that
the severe winter there had not done
very much more damage than delay
ing the crops.
Mr.. Norment was glad to get back
into New Mexico and finds that the air
of this territory is unsurpassed.
