makes irrigation Improbable. We
admit that II costs more to deliver
the water on top Of the ground,
but this expense Is equalized by be-
ing able to irrigate more than three
times as much land with the same
amount of water that you could in
the Lodi section. This Is accounted
for by the quality Of the soil. We
saw alfalfa checks 40 rods long and
nearly 200 feet wide being irrigat-
ed. This, we know, would be i'm
possible to do on our soil here.
We will mention one farm visited
by Us among others. On DR.. Con-
noway's ranch we saw $50 acres
that had been irrigated and a good
crop grown on every acre Of II with
a six inch pump. He was harvest
ing his beans while we were there
and told US that he expected to net
$50 per acre from them. He had
raised alfalfa, corn, milo maize.
sorghum, Irish potatoes, sweet po-
tatoes and water melons on his
land. This was the first crop that
had ever been raised on the land.
This land he bought about lS
months ago for $40 an acre. There
are no farms in this valley Of l50.-
600 acres, over three years old.
Some are two. but the most are but
one year old. For this reason
many things are experimental as
yet.
One word in regard to the 500
locating fee. Every person in our
party knew before they left Califor-
mia that this was the price charged
for locating and we went prepared
to pay it. Perhaps it was not so
with our friend, Burson. II Mr..
Burson could have persuaded the
people from California to go with a
real estate firm he was with, we
think he would have told differ
ent story of the country. We will
leave the reader to judge whether
it was from his Iarge-heartedness
and fatherly care for his California
friends and his wish to protect poor
wandering sheep that might stray
from the fold. or some other motive
that prompted the article published
by him recently, The people from
this section who have invested in
land in New Mexico, we believe,
are endowed with ordinary intelli-
gence and can study the conditions
of soil. climate and cost of pumping
as well as our friend, Burson.
After investigating, we claim the
privilege Of using our own judge
ment in investing our money. In
conclusion, will say that your read
ers may have an opportunity to hear
later what the Deming Chamber of
Commerce and Mr.. McKeyes, the
government land agent, have to say
about being misquoted and misrep-
resented by Mr.. Burson. Every
county has its knockers, even Lodi,
but we believe that the Mimbres
Valley, New Mexico, will in few
years demonstrate that Mr.. Burson
was very much mistaken in his esti-
mate of the valley.

CHANGES IN MUSIC.

Christmas music has changed rad ically within the last two or three years, and the overturn in America within the past ten years has been. it is said, greater than the most adyanc- ed musical optimists dreamed The change has been for what musicians call the better. and has been due. in mo small measure. 70 the influence of the American Guild of Or2anists Free recitals given in many cities bv Guild members have educated the public taste. and examinations for ass1cfateS and fellowships in the Guild have been "i $" high grade that they have ar- fected American music both at Chst- mas and throughout the year.

Oreanists of the standing of Carl. Hall and others report that the day Of the old-fashioncd anthem is about over. and that the carol is supcrceding it. Some carols are new. but even they initiate the pid The carols come from England. Wal,s. Germany. France and Italy. and the old authors are much preferred Go the new.
 A new practice in New Yo.l, and Boston. and to some cNtyu, iu Balti- more and Washington. is tho singing oi carols in the languages in which they were written. Formerly words of carols were translated into English. but this Christmas as not heretofore the Wur- shipper in the churches is likely tu hear German and Italian at any rate. The French and Welsh languages have not been attempted. The oratories and cantatas. used much for afternon and evening services in place of the old anthems. are often now given in lan- guages other than English. Singers are urged to employ the language most familiar. and dealers report great increase in the demand for carols in languages in which written.

 How long were the ruins of tho Southwest .nhJbited2 and. How dens, was the population in ancient times Q Some of the best archaenlog.sts have strongly insisted that appearances arc dcccitful The hundreds. and h. dccd thousands If sites of ancient villages, in Colorado. the Texas Pan handle, I'rah. New Mexico and Ari- z'na. as well as in similar uarts of Northern Mexico. were not aU fn- hahited at one time. so they tel us
 Most represent mere temporary etor- ping places. where migratory ha,Ds of coplr supposed to be the ancestors of the Indians SCttl,d for few years and then moved on. Al the oUtsi5. limit. SO say these archa,oiogists. the ent IT" population meyer amounted tu more than a few score thousands whose civilization was nr the lowest and most insignificant type other students. fewer in number than the orthodoZ school hold that the ma ior- fly of the ruins were all occupied at the same time ard for century after century They say that the population of the arid S1utGvcs, must have amounted To many hun dred hpUsands-dccidydlv more ia all probability than the country supports today Furthermore fr this were sp although the type of civilization may have been most primitive compared with ours. y.t it Was by un means so low as that Of the modern In- oians. lt must hay, bcer Of the same grade as that of carly Elbylouia.
