that within the area of their circuit
his company would be glad TO place
500, 900 at Z percent for actual devel-
Opment work, taking as security farm
lands He said that ii would be well
to start with a confined area near
town and get that developed first, and
then gradually enlarge the area upon
which to loan money for development.
'I have been very much surprised"
said Mr.. Phillips, TO find this valley
so far advanced along agricultural
lines, since it has been such a short
time that such progress has been I'M
der way. You have been fortunate In
securing farmers who already were ac-
Quainted with conditions such as you
have here, ana to whom the work OF
this character of development was not
entirely new I have seen number Of
farms this morning that prove to me
that the men who own them are farm
ers of wide experience and unusual
ability"
Believes In Pumping System.
Mr.. Phillips is an ardent advocate
Of the pumping system for irrigation
over the gravity ditch, or the arteslan
we'll He saws that pumping plant IN
California viii generally produce two
crops more per year than a gravity
ditch, for the reason that water can
be obtained for pumping at any time,
while IL is furnished on an average
from a gravity ditch only once in 80
days one Of these extra crops, de-
clared Mr.. Phillips, pays for the extra
expense of pumping the water, the
other extra crop is profit Under the
gravity system, with water coming only
once in 80 days, it is impossible to use
labor economically, since a great deal
Of labor is needed at one time, and
not so much during the rest of the
month. With the pumping plant, on
the other hand, declared Mr. Phillips,
labor can be handled economically, and
the work of the farm reduced to a per
feet system.
Another great objection to irrigation
by gravity bitches and artesian wells
is that great canals passing through
a section waste a great deal Of water
which subs out to either side of the
canals and develops alkali conditions
in the soil which al1aH condition must
be eventually overcome by drainage
With an artesian well at his command
said Mr.. Phillips, the farmer uses as a
rule three times as much water as he
needs, and four times as much as is
good for the land This excessive use
of water develops alkaH and so It is
found necessary in nearly all artesian
districts to resort 10 drainage to cure
this evil The loss from lack of fer
tilizing sediment in well water, de-
clared Mr. Phillips. IS offset by the
freedom Of well water from the seeds
of nOXious weeds.
Another condition which pleased Mr.
Phillips with the Min bres valley is
its remarkable evenness. He said that
the leveling expense in this valley could
not be very much, whereas in. many

I'M French are serious in the
intention to put a great fleet
of aeroplanes afloat in the
event of a war with Germany By
the end of the present year it is esd-
mated that the French army viii have
200 aerial vessels at its disposal, ana
it is calculated by military aurnOrl-
ties that at least another hundred VIII
be needed TO complete the equipment
There is talk Of supplying the den-
cheney, in an emergency, by cOmman-
deering the large number Of private
aerOplanes which exist IN france
AerOplanes are very quickly con
structed, the types are now well fixed,
they are Inexpensive, and the NUM-
Der of French military officers trained
in their management is rapidly IN
creasing. Enthusiasts declare that II
within few months II they were
needed
The aerial fleet of France at the
end Of the year If only those now con-
templated are put into commission,
viii consist of 40 mOnoplanes and So
fbfpIanes In addition, there are a
number Of dirigibless but the French
are less enthusiastic over this KIND OF
aerial vessel than the Germans Al a.

first really successful experiments
with them were made

scouting. The atmosphere along the
eastern frontier OF France would be
traversed in all directions by avlators'
watching the movements OF the IN
vaders and giving notice Of all inn
portaut maneuvers. Since aerQplanes
can now ascend TO a height OF many
thousands Of feet, carrying telescopes
and wireless telegraph apparatus, IL
IS easy 10 see that the cutting OF rele-
graph lines would be lne1recIlFe IN
concealing the movements Of hostile
armies
AS TO the carrying Of an offensive
armament. that is hardly to be thought
of at present, although, where an aero
carries two persOns-and many now
do that-one Of the adventures might
be provided with a light, high-poW-
cred carbine Although the primary
purpose Of the military aerOplane is
10 collect and transmit information,

counters between these birds Of war
would occasionally occur, and nothing
more exciting to the imagination can

q IG SIMON, who has been regularly
~ making FL Paso as a travelling
salesman for "a years is here to-
day selling goods. He is now selling
clothing. When he first started making
this section "a years ago he was selling
dry goods but he says he has had
enough of packing and unpacking six
or seven trunks Of samples
Inere IS not an old timer from san
Dilego TO Santa Fe and Ell Paso that
MI simon does not know He knew
all this country when there were no
railroads and when he first began to
travel in here the old Grand Central
was the only hotel in FL Paso.
In 1879 / first came to this terri
tory" said Mr.. Simon, "and I have been
coming here steadily ever since. I was
IN Deming long before the railroad
and often made Silver City when it
cost me $50 for myself and ba gga e-e
from Deming to Silver City. Travelled
out of San Diego and it took me three
weeks TO make trip from san Diego
TO Prescott, and have been three
weeks going from Bowie, Ariz. up to
Globe and Thatcher and Stafford and
back. Even after the railroad was
built from Globe to Bowie, it was aw-
fUl travelling for a long time, as the
train would get off the track several
times on a trip and many times the
engine would run out of water UP at
Thatcher and have to 60 back to Bowie
to I'M up.
Silver City was the greatest mining
camp IN the whole southwest when I
came here and it was the freight cen
ter. All goods for Sonora, Arizona and
western New Mexico were reshipped
out OF Silver City, and i have seen
the main street so full of OK teams that
a man could hardly walk. The freight
came overland by team from St. Louis
to Santa Fe and from Santa Fe to Sill
yer City. 1t was a three days and
two nights ride from Santa Fe to
Silver City. In those days Globe and
Bisbee were undiscovered
II have been held up and robbed so
many times that I can't recall them all.
Once I was robbed in Deming just
after I stepped out of the train-that
was just after the road was built in
there, in 1891. I left all my money
in the train, which was always well
guarded, and stepped outside with

and took that. The railroad people
used to have a sign in the temporary
station at Demlng warning people not
to go outside. That was at that time
the western end Of construction on the
s. p, and the town was full Of tOughs,
who would rob a man on sight j saw
them make the cOmmi ssary officer OF
the railroad dance for Is minutes or
more, just because he walked out with
a shotgun
About "a years ago / was in the
stage between Globe and Florence that
was held up and robbed by Pearl Hart
and her pal Both were later convict
ed. and her pal is now in prison at
Florence. The governor pardOned Pearl
as she seemed to have been under the
Jack was another highwayman who
operated extensively in this section
when I first came here.
when / first began to come here
Clifton and later Globe mines were
operating on copper at and cents
and they had to bring in and ship out
all supplies and ore by wagon, vet the
original owners got rich. Now the
miners are able to save a. larger per
centage of ore. they treat It by ma
chinery much cheaper than before and
they have the railroads to haul in their
supplies and haul out their ore, vet they
say there is no money in copper at II
cents This is a mystery to me.
'The opportunities in the southwest
are better for making money now than
they were when I came here 80 years
ago. Men made big money then, but
they lost heavily-Often a whole wagon
train of merchandise would burn. They
do not make so much now, but il is
steady and the cost is not so heavy and
the losses less Most of the men prOmi-
nent 80 years so in the southwest as
traders and merchants all went broke
sooner or later

and often invests here He once owned

Advice About Stomach Troubles and
How to Relieve Them.

How to Relieve Them.
Do not neglect Indigestion which
may lead to all sorts of ills and cOmpli-
cations. An eminent physician once
said that ninety-five percent of all the
ills of the human body have their ORR
gin in a disordered stomach.
Our experience with ReXalI Dyspepsia
Tablets leads us to believe them to be
among the most dependable remedies
known for the relief of indigestion and
chronic dyspepsia Their ingredients
are soothing and healing to the in
famed membranes of the stomach.
They are rich in pepsin, one of the
greatest digestive aids known to medi-
cine. The relief they affard is very
prompt. Their use with perSistency
and regularity for a short time tends
to bring about q cessation of the pains
caused BIZ stomach disorders.
Rexau dyspepsia Tablets help to
insure healthy appetite, TO aid diges-
ton and thus promote nutrition. As
evidence OF cur sincere faith in ReXau
Dyspepsia Tablets. we ask YOU 10 try
them at our risk. If they do not give
you entire satisfaction. we will return
YOU the money yOH paid US for them,
