DR.. Osborn a Live One.

Last week an interview appeared
in Lodi, California, paper, con-
tanning a statement that might be
construed as derogatory to the
Mimbres Valley, written by a man
who evidently had a personal griev-
ance to air.
DIR. O. o. Osborn, who has been
a prominent citizen of the California
town for almost decade, but who
has now become interested in Min
bres Valley real estate, appeared
before the board of directors of the
Chamber of Commerce, Tuesday
noon, in complete refutation of the
derogatory statements of his former
neighbor at Lodi.
Among other things, he stated
that il didn't take Californian
two months to discover the fac
that the Deming country is one
that possesses II great and prosper
pus future. He has seen lane
around Lodi sell for $65 per acre
that q few years hence changed It'll,
at $1,000 per acre. He made tn,
statement that he is going to prov
on his own land in the Mimbrel
Valley that the srme thing can b
done here.
Whenever you can combine eli
mate, rich soil and water, such a
YOU have in this valley, | know
what the ultimate result will be-
said DR.. Osborn. 1t means fu
ture for this valley that will loo
good to US all. Z"
The doctor says he has a wifi
and six children who will max
their home here and who can b
counted on TO boost every day Il
the year, and there are many othe
good Lodi people who entertain tn
same views.
Any Californian, possessing III
sense that the creator naturally b.
slows upon us, can see that III
Mimbres Valley will soon rival III
richest gardens of the world, an
; those who are now getting in q
0 the ground floor are going to res
the benefit.

An Explanation By Major W.ddIlI.

Deming, October 18th, 1911
Hon. W. B. Walton, Silver City, N. M.
My Dear Sir:-My attention has been
called TO an anonymous circular which
Is being circulated thru the Sixth
Judicial district, embracing the counties
Of Grant and Luna. This circular Ia
headed "In Defense of the District
Attorney" and signed "a Worker for
Christ's Sake" 1t Is a mean little
thing and has its emanation from a
mean little heart and IL bottomed on a
mean purpose. regret, when ! think
Of such things as this. that human ma
ture can become so degraded and that
a man can become sech degenerate as
to write such thing as this circular.
The effort and purpose Of the writer
Is to try to impress every man in the
liquor business and all men who play
baseball, or like baseball, with the idea
that II ! should be elected District
Attorney, will proceed TO prosecute
all such people. No denial Of this TO
people who know me Is necessary: but
have thought il well, in view of the
the fact that this dirty circular will be
read by people who know nothing
about me, TO make simple statement,
which proceed TO do.
II elected District Attorney, will
become sworn officer Of the law, not
10 make laws not to persecute, but TO
assist our Courts and Grand Juries in
the execution and administration of the
laws. shall enter upon the discharge
of the duties Of that Office, If elected,
with malice toward no man or business.
but trust with broad charity toward
all and with the simple purpose of dis
charging the duty intrusted to me by
the people. am no "Peepng Tom"
nor will conceive il TO be my duty TO
stand around at back doors, or have my
agents standing around at back doors,
with the view to entrapping or discov-
ering IL man does not do some little
stepping aside on Sunday. That kind
of business is the business of detective,
and IL the office Of District Attorney
required that | should play the detect
i've on any man or business, ! would not
be candidate for il, nor would | have
it if il were given to me.
The body and gist of this miserable
circular is that belong to the church.
TO that charge plead guilty, and thank
God that do belong to the church. !
have belonged to ii since my youth and
will belong to il until | pass over into
that far away country. II any man de-
sires to vote against me because ] am
member of the church, | shall make no
plea to prevent his doing so.
This circular was written by an enemy
whose one purpose was TO bring about
my defeat. have more confidence in
human nature and in men, in whatever
business they may be engaged, than TO
believe that such low, vile attack as
this circular contains will influence any
one TO vote against me.
Very sincerely yours,

A Thousand Gallon Well for
Hondalc.

After many delays and discour-
agements, Mr.. II. b. Strickler, SUI
perintendent for +. +. Burdick, has
developed a good well.
GRAPHIC readers will remember
the announcement in these columns
several months ago, that Mr.. f. f.
Burdick was putting in large well,
one-half mile north Of Hondale.
The work was put in charge of Mr..
II. b. Strickler, who prepared so
acres on his desert claim to be irri-
gated from this plant. The drillers
had unusually bad luck and while
they encountered no unusually hard
conditions, were many weeks put
ting the well down the required 200
feet, and when they got done, re-
ported a dry hole. i. {. not over BOO
gallons per minute. Nothing daunt-
ed. however, they were ordered to
insert the costly casing which was
perforated the whole way from the
first water to the bottom of the
well.
The big 5O-h. p. engine was or
dered out and the pump and en-
installed and was set in motion Fri
day evening for the first time. The
water came and went and spluttered
and played out. apparently, and two
experienced well-men and machinist:
condemned the well and wanted to
go back to town and report No
water.
But Mr.. Stricken, who has made
study of conditions for four years
who has edited a book on Luna
county and contributed several val
liable articles to THE Earth" and
other publications, told them to g
back Saturday morning and star
up the plant and run all day. Ac
cordingly, the plant was started
and to everyone's surprise. held VI
at an average of 700 gallons fol
eight hours, when the engine haC
to be shut down. 1t not only helt
up but actually increased the flow
every hour, yielding a moderate
amount of sand all the time. Mr.
Stricken says it will develop
thousand gallons or better. HI
says he don't care whether there
any water-bearing sand Or not $
long as he can bring up a thousan,

Acting on the advice of Judge
Albert B. Fall, formerly a member
of our supreme bench and former
Encouragement of New Mexico,
and likewise upon the written opin-
ion of Acknowledgement Clancy, the
Republican committee empowered
by the county convention to fill va
cancies, have named Miss Grace
Goebel of Columbus, as the Rcpub-
lican nominee for county superin-
tendent of schools. Judge Fall
handed down an opinion that when
a person is nominated who cannot
qualify at the proper time, that
place on the ticket is void and must
be filled by the proper committee
according TO law. Concerning Miss
Goebel's qualifications and fitness
for the position, her home paper,
the Columbus Courier, says: Miss
Goebel Is not only a competent in
structor but thoro business woman
as we'll. She has great force OF
character, is pleasant to meet and
understands thoroly the duties re-
quired of county superintendent
Miss Goebel will poll the almost
unanimous vote of the southern enc
of the county regardless Of politics
and her many friends In the othel
precincts will roll up for her a larg'
majority which will be sufficient fol
election. Miss Goebel will go int
Office with the best educational re
quirements of any person who eve
filled that position in Luna county

The old-timers are resorting to every possible means to get in the money.
 T got a sucker said one of the He used to know me when was city clerk of Jiggs Crossings, and he has plenty of confidence in me. I'll get him into a three-handed game, work in a cold deck, and we'll take his crop"

We'll work along. and when l get a good chance I'll send in the cold hand. I'll deal you four kings and give him four queens, and he'll bet his head lofi lff ..
