aid of December 20 called to the at /
tentiOn Of those progressive citizens 1
Of BerinO and vicinity the fact that /

J ohm c. McNary, Of BertnO was in I
Las Cruces Wednesday TO attend a /
meeting of the board Of directors Of (
the chamber Of commerce and made it 4
a point TO look after thu interests of his I
peighbors and himself in requesting
the chamber of commerce to call the &
attention Of those in charge of the /
train TO the fact that BerinO is now on /
the map, and is fully enutled to a stop ]
of the train; in fact, the citizens Of /
one of the richest communities of the (
Mesilla valley will be unable to profit /
DE this demonstration OF agricultural /
resources unless the train stops at Be /
rino. The fact that there is no longer |
a bridge at VadO, and even the post !
office of Earlham has been removed /
from that point, is sufficient evidence |
that an important stop is BerinO. An /
nOuncement will be made at q later /

there that q stop of at least an hour I
