BILE family, consisting Of a wife. two
daughters and one son. arrived
Wednesday. and will soon make a
garden spot of twenty acres Of val
liable land a mile south Of the city.
They have other fine real estate
holdings farther south, but twenty
acres looks like a lot Of land, 10 a
man who knows what intense farm

land far less favorably located than
ours increase in value To a fabulous
figure, and knows that the same
conditions will prevail here.

hardly refrain from mentioning the
fact that the Sections are living eX-

Miss Bergen "Showered."

Mrs. +. J. Carskadon and Mrs.
+. +. Moran gave very delightful
miscellaneous shower at the formers
home, Saturday afternoon for Miss
Nancy 7. Bergen, who will soon be-
come the bride of Peter j. Under
mann. a prominent young business
man of Flagstaff, Arizona, and who
has valuable real estate holdings in
this vicinity. Miss Bergen. who
was elected principal Of the Deming
high school for the present year,
but who was compelled to decline
owing to her mothers i'll health, is
very popular here, and il was con-
fidently hoped that she might be in
duced to take the position at the
beginning of the next semester. as
her mother is now pleasantly quar-
tered at the home Of DIR. Moran.
In theory this worked like charm,
but In practice ii failed to come
through. rs the leading lady IN the
play had different plans mapped out.
There is no question but that every
resident Of Deming would have
been delighted to have had her
taken the job, but they will also be
very much pleased to know that a
charming home. all ready and fur
hsshed for occupancy. awaits her at
fhe beautiful City Of Flagstaff, and
that the man Of her choice Is one Of
the best ever.
But now to the shower. From
Two 10 three. about 30 high school
girls were among the guests and
when they presented their gift, a

GAMING REAL WILL
SURELY BE BUILT
Governor Mills Promises
Convict Labor for An
thony-Las Cruces
Road.

Las Cruces, N. NJ, Sept. 1S.-The Ca
mino Real is an assured fact and Las
Cruces will soon be Joined to FL Paso
by a good, hard road that will be the
delight of Automobiles and of the
greatest advantage to the farmers.
w Alex Sutherland and 7. ROuault
returned Sunday night from attending
the good roads commission at Santa Fe
and report even more success than had
been hoped for. In an audience with
governor Mills they were promised by
him that he would send 43 cOnvicts to
this county to do the work on the road
as directed by the leaders here These
43 convicts are now at work on the road
from Silver City to MogOllOn and it is
expected that road will be completed
by January first.
Just as soon as it is completed gov
ernor Mills promised that the convictS
should be sent direct to Las Cruces to
start work on the Canine Real Cover
nor Mills, together with territorial en-
gineer Vernon Sullivan, also gave Mr..
Sutherland and Mr. ROuault the assur-
ance tnat the territory would appro-
pirate for the building of the Canine
Real a sum of money equal to that
which is available in the DOna Ana
county road fund.
AS this fund reaches in the neigh
torhood OF $4,000 this promise assures
almost $4,000 for the work. This work
IS TO be done on the road from Anthony
on the Texas line to DOna Ana, six
miles north Of Las Cruces. The plan as
approved by the governor and the ter
ritOrial engineer includes the clearing,
