M|MBRES VALLEY
FAST POPULAT|NG
Activity in Real Estate Never
SO Lively as it is this
Year
THERE IS A REASON"
People are Beginning to Re.
alize the Great Possibili-
ties Awaiting Them.

Never in the history of this great
valley have things been so promis-
ing as they are this very minute.
Never before have the people real
lied that the possibilities of getting
in on the ground floor, as II We're,
are fast being picked up by people
who are wise to the situation.
People who are not satisfied with
mine months winter and three
months late in the fall' of the north
and east are coming in "focks" and
"droves" to the warm southwest.
They are investigating and giving
intelligent attention to conditions as
they find them.
Practically the whole of New
Mexico is a land of sunshine and de-
lightful climate but those are not
everything to be considered in the
selection Of a home. Water, the
genuine old H2 o., is an important
proposition not to be overlooked.
Water in some places contains alkali,
in other places "gyp," and in some
places both. In the Mimbres Valley
II contains neither, but is the purest
in the whole United States, the De-
partment of Agriculture checking
us in at 9S per cent. pure, or prac
tically in the distilled water class
And the best of il is we have it il
perfectly inexhaustible quantities
and at shallow depth. A cyclone
has never been known here and th'
richness of our alluvial soil canno
be surpassed on this old planet.
These are the reason we are get
ting the hest citizens in the UniteC
States and lots of 'em.

Spearville, Kan, Jan. 81, 1910.
To the Editor of the GRAPHIC:
DEAR SIR: From week 70 week
as the GRAPHIC is received, ! look it
over with interest 10 see what isgo-
ing on in the Mimbres Valley.
Myself and several others from
this part expect to be with you this
spring. | often wonder what is the
best crop to plant on new land. !
suppose about the first thing TO do
will be to put in a pumping plant.
Il believe after that, with sufficient
water, several things might be
grown with profit. feel that al
falfa should bei one of the first
things started, where land is suita-
Bile, so that we may have plenty Of
good feed for our stock, and feel
that would like to try beans, on
ions, celery, cabbage, potatoes, ETC.,
and have lately been wondering why
that wouldn't be a fine place for
broom corn. as II is a quick crop
and takes but little moisture, and
needs TO be raised where the atmos'
, phere is dry and bright so that il
may be cured out of doors. After
it is up two or three waterings
be sufficient. The only drawback
would be could we get help to gath
er it. The price this last year ha'
been very high and is now sellini
for two hundred dollars per ton,
| also think fruit trees and vines
should be put out the first year 81
as to get the benefit of it as soon a
possible. The winter here has beel
unusually severe,
Respectfully yours,
d. ID. WINTAMUTE.

A BREAKFAST DISH.

Put a quart of boiling water in a
double boiler and a pinch of salt.
Sift enough white corn meal into
water to make a thin batter, stir
ring rapidly. Cover and boil for
one hour, keeping it more of the
consistency of porridge than of mush.
Serve with cream and sugar and you
will find it a delightful change from
Cream of the Wheat, which costs
ten cents per pound while corn meal
is but about three.t
Can be cooked the day before
using and then boil up for few
minutes in the morning and will be
ready for breakfast.

A Successful Woman Archi-
tect.

Among the many features of spe-
cial interest TO women readers in
the February Human Life is Ada
Patterson's story of Eay Kellogg,
one of the best known women archi-
tects in America.
While not the first women to en-
ter this profession, Miss Kellogg
has been one of the most successful,
and her pluck, her determination
and cleverness have brought their
reward, as they co to every good
climber .on life's long ladder.
To every woman who has her own
way to make In the world, and no
less to those who look on at the
arena of business life from the shell
teriny bars of the home, the story
of this plucky girls fight to gain
recognition in her beloved calling Is
one Of absorbing interest.
And these are some of her achieve
ments: The splendid Hall of Rec
ords in New York City bears tht
stamp of her genius, skill and inin
ite patience. The grand staircase
one of the largest and handsomes
in the world, is exclusively her de
sign. A sixteen-story building II
San Francisco, a great office hive Il
J New York City, a railroad station
and innumerable lesser works stan'
to her credit.
Every step in her upward clim'
Is full Of encouragement to othe
ambitious women, from the star
5 grudingly given her in an architect'
r Office at 50 per, TO an office OF he
where she makes her ow
: contracts and is her own master.
Her views on the eternal questio
marriage or a career for awoma
Z ara decidedly interesting, II SOM
!. what unique and oddly phrased.

The Prosperity Edition will con-
tain as many pages as the interests

for mailing, and will be good, live

We are determined at the present
time that the edition will have moi
less than five thousand copies, but
il will be made larger II demanded
which is not at all unlikely wheI
the public appreciates just what tn
scope and intent of the publication
will be.

FINE PRIZE GRAFTON
On "The Immigrant and the
Republic" Delivered by
Lena Boyd at the Deming
High School Oratorical
Contest.

High School Oratorical
Contest.
The United States became nomin-
ally nation when the old Liberty
Bell rang out loud and clear on that
memorable day in '76. But it was
many years before the Union was
firmly established. This great
achievement was wrought not only
by the sword, but also by The ster-
ling character Of the statesmen.
View the Republic as she existed
a few generations ago thirteen
sparsely settled states, representing
as many and as varied interests.
Behold her today-a power whose
influence for good is felt through
out the whole world. What, in the
main, has been accountable for this
marvellous growth? Why has she
outstripped older nations in her de-
velopment? The Almighty in His
goodness has placed lis in a pleasant
and beautiful land, n land teeming
with all the elements of freedom
and prosperity. Every material for
human industry, every facility for
honorable employment and every
device for developing the sterling
Qualities Of manhood can be found
here.
Into this land of promise, for
truly it is such, we have opened the
doors and invited immigration
Thousands upon thousands have ac-
cepted this invitation, and many
more are on the way, tens of thous-
ands are standing on tiptoe upon
the shores Of the old world, eagerly
J watching, longing and praying for
the day when they too may cross
the mighty deep to the land where
J bread may be had for labor, and
where mar IL treated rs snan. w,
find in this republic a commingline
} of all nations and representatives Of
, all nations and representatives OF
all races. Into her protecting arm!
: have gathered all colors an creeds
God, in His wisdom seems to hav,
! set her apart as the one natior
whose duty II is to exemplify thC
) fatherhood of God and the brother
: hood of man.
These great truths are manifested
} in our splendid institutions, tina
! have reached high state of devel
: opment under our fostering care
I The principles of our forefather
r are so deeply rooted that years an,
S years of unrestricted immigration
K have not perceptibly changed them
= Nay, the immigrant by his allegi
S ance and thriftiness has helped I
z extend them and to establis
throughout this broad land mont
$ ments of material development an
o intellectual freedom that have mad
IS her what she is today.
nj With the immigrant has come
growing need of efficient education
al institutions for the enlightenmer
of the people and the upbuilding {
the nation. The splendid publ
school buildings of every city ar

n that this need has been satisfied |

THE GRAPA|CS
PROSPERITY EDITION
VIII be a Fine Illustration of
the Printers Art in
Deming
THE MIMBRES VALLEY
Will be Proud to Send il Out
to the Busy Business
World.
THE MIMBREs VALLEY

The GRAPHIc.will issue a Prosper
ity Edition IN or about April 18th.
This announcement should mean
much to the business interests OF
this city and surrounding country. 1t
will mean more than just the ordin-
airy special edition." 1t will be
different. So very different from
anything heretofore attempted IN
the Mimbres Valley that it will rank
with more metropolitan efforts of
this character.
Onc especial feature of the
GRAPmc's PROSPERITY smrioN IL
that il will not contain any oi the
stereotypcd wlite-ups Of firms and
individuals, so long in use in such
efforts and incidentally so full Of
hot-air but will carry only legiti-
mate display advertising, such as
any well-regulated newspaper should
carry in a legitimate way Time, in
its usages has placed the hot air
write-up in the class OF has-beens,
and the GRAPHIC does not propose
at any stage of the play TO be
listed with things antique.
What will the Prosperity Edition
be like?
II will be unlike any newspaper
effort ever put on in the Mimbres
Valley. 1t will be an illustrated as
well as descriptive publication, and
will cover every feature Of oppor'
tunity, development, climate, health,
agriculture, mining, in fact every
thing that appertains to this section
of New Mexico. 1t will present to
It's readers every phrse Of life which
looks good to the prospector and
the homeseeker. 1t will, in short
be an invitation TO our friends in
all parts of the country to come ia
Luna county for residence. 1t will
bea pressing invitation, and one
can not be overlooked after the
enumeration of the good things OF
this valley.
The determination of the publish
ers of the GRAPHIC to issue such ar
edition has not been made on thu
spur of the moment, but has beer
ander consideration for some time
We have been very busy taking carr
of the business which has come ou
way and have therefore not beel
able to undertake any extraordinar,
effort such as this edition will re
auire. Last week, however, we sc
cured the services Of Mr., Morris }
Lynch, who is visiting friends an
relatives here, and who has been u
the publicity business for a numDe
of years. He comes from Midland
Texas, and is fresh from the dutle
of boosting his home town, an

A DENIAL BY MADRIz.

Managua, June 5.-RepOrts of al legged insurgent victories at Bluefields and Rama have been Altering into Managua. These coupled with re ports of a movement of Nicaraguan forces under Lara, Godoy and Chavar- ris occasioned some alarm among ad- herents of the government Madriz today issued an official denial of the reports. at the same time intimating that if the government had only insur- gents to deal with it would have crushed the revolution long ago
 Madriz issued orders looking to re- cruiting in all western provinces. The work will be pushed with the utmost energy with the intention of sending endorsements to the troops at the front.

Washington, June 5.-Dr. Luis Corea a representative of the Madriz govern ment in Nicaragua made public de- spatch today which he says he receiv ed from President Madriz. to the effect that the government forces at Rama and Bluefields had retired upon orders from Madriz and are reconcentrated elsewhere.
 pr. Corea said he had no word re- garding the capture of William Pitt man, young Bostonian who yester- day was reported to have been taken by General Irias troops while mining the outposts of Bluefields for the Estrada forces. For this reason Ma driz's representative doubted the truth of Pittman's capture. Assurances are given the state department by the Madriz faction that Pittman will be treated considerably.

it his official duty permanently to ex
 ecute the criminal laws of the ter ritory
 While on this subject it may inter est our readers to know that it is an undecided question whether the governor of Arizona has the legal power, under our laws, to commute a death sentence to any term of
 imprisonment The only law on the question is found in Section 1S41 of the federal statutes, which prescribes generally the power of territorial gov ernors. Among other things, this sec tion says of the governor:
 He may grant pardons and reprieve and remit fines and forfeitures, for of lenses against the laws of the territory for which he is appointed, and re- spites for offenses against the laws of the United States, till the decision of
 the president can be made known"
 It will be noted that there is an
 omission of any reference to a power to commute sentences-a power con ferred in all the states by their stat utes, we believe. Our own legislature has failed to enlarge the governors
 powers as set forth in the federal law we have quoted.
 The contention of some lawyers is tho. kba pou-ar to nordop paoa,,ariI,. carries with it the power to modify the form of punishment to any de- gree between the punishment fixed by the sentence and an outright par don. But other lawyers hold a con- trary opinion, and the few court de- cisions-a case from Nevada, if we remember correctly. and a decision by the supreme court of the United States-seem to sustain the theory that the power to change the form of punishment-i. e, to prescribe inn prisonment when death has been the with the executive if such power is not expressly given by statute.
 The United States case mentioned arose out of the action of one of the presidents-Pierce we believe it was who attempted to get around de- feet in the law similar to ours, who granted conditional pardon to a man sentenced to death-the condition be- ing that he should remain in prison for the rest of his life. The act of the president was upheld by the supreme court, when the prisoner attempted to gain his freedom through habeas corpus. In recent years the only case of committing a death sentence to life imprisonment in this territory was disposed of by Governor Kibbey. who followed substantially the procedure adopted by President Pierce.
 It is an interesting question wheth- CT Waddill, having had his sentence of death "commuted' to imprison- ment for fifteen years, would have now the right to claim his freedom under a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that he has been legally relieved of his death sentence and that no further punishment could be legally imposed

girls, who really need to have watch
at hand constantly. A fine silver chain
with unusual links would be suitable
for a girl to wear, with a small and
inconspicuous silver watch depending
from it like locket. The watch should
be of chased silver or of a plain enamel
without any stones.
When the time for school parties ar
rives girls viii take out their charming
little necklaces, which are simple in de-
sign and are usually made with very fine
gold chains hung with few semi
precious stones, these being set in slen-
der mountings Of the gold. Heavy
necklaces or chains are never chosen for
young girls, and even the delicate ones
should not have any of the more valu-
able stones in the settings, except, per-
haps, few pearls, which are essentially
appropriate for the youthful.
Gold beads have been out of fashion
for some time, but those of colored
stones are still worn and are an attract
i've ornament for youthful faces. Pale
pink quartz, mauve or green quartz,
aquamarine or one of the matrix stones
are cut in graduated spheres. then pol
ished and strung together for a neck
lace, with tiny crystal disc between
the beads to give them a more brilliant
appearance and a sort of iridescence.

THE PERIL OF THE PIN.

Whoever thought Of the woeful pos
sibilities of pins in things. Not pins
in one clothing, reprehensible as
that is, though calculated to harm only
ones self, but the injury we may do
to others by the careless, indiscriminate
use of pins.
In letters, for instance, it is really
cruel of US to pin things-perhaps a
sample going to a shop to be matched
or piece of a frock which we wish
a bosom friend, away somewhere, to
get an idea Of. Our intentions in do.
ing either Of these things are innocent
enough. but the postman who takes the
letter from the box, the clerk in the
shop who opens it or even our friend
herself, all unsuspecting Of danger,
may get pin prick or finger ruthless
~ torn open, with results both painful
and serious.
When we casually throw pins in the
waste basket we breed danger for the
housemaid whose practice it is to empty
the basket by thrusting her hand in
to draw out the contents. When we
leave pins in our soiled garments we
lay calamity trap for the laundress,
who may tear her hand in scrubbing
into PIN and be miserably MANNED by
our carelessness. When we toss pinned
things about we are abominablv for
getful of the mex. conner, who may in
advertently pick them up, to his or
her undoing
Let s stop this lawless habit of pins
in things.
