VERBS practical, Well-educated,
"A much-traveIed business man of
Denver, Colo, visited the Dem
=ag district last week. He had been
reading Deming advertisements in The
Ell Psso Herald, and was very much in
terested in the region. He said that he
had endeavOred to interest number
OF Denver capitalists of his acquaint-
ance in this section, but that inva-
riably they were frightened away by
low land values. IF the section is all
that is claimed for it, they said, why
are values so slow?' When he ar
gued that it was a new section, he was
told that railroads had been built into
Deming some 80 years, and Jnat sure
" IN 80 years, a country should become
thoroughly developed, if there were
any development possible.
DeminE Development New.
While the Deming section is old in
the sense that the town has been here
for 80 years, the development that is
giving value to land is comparatively
new As a mining and stOckraiSing
center, Deming is an old town; as an
agricultural center it is very new. Five
years ago, government land lay right
up 10 the borders of the town. Three
years ago this same land could be
bought for a song. Now this same
land is bringing 500 per acre, and
thaI price is low enough to brighten
many conservative investors
The secret of the rapid advance in
values in the last three years lies in
the discovery that the immense under
ground water supply is economically
accessible for irrigation. Enough ex-
perimenting had been done in a small
way to demonstrate that the climate
and the soil OF the AIimbres Valley
were admirably adapted TO the grow
ing Of high-priced produce. Garden
truck of all kinds produced abundant
" and in rare quality; fruits grown
in yards and small orchards had that
richness and FLAVOR which command
the top price in any market; small
patches OF alfalfa demons; trated that
Mimbres Valley alfalfa hay had 40
percent more nutritive value than that
grown in the northern states In
short everything had been demon
strated except that water for irriga-
ton could be produced in large Cuan .

Other conclusions presented, in
brief, were as follows:
Before the Titanic departed on her
maiden voyage there were no sdtfi'
cent tests of boilers, bulkheads,
equipment or signal devices.
Officers and cerw were strangers
to each other and not familiar with
the ships implements or tools, ana
no drill or station practice took
place and no helpful discipline pre-
vailed
The speed of the Titanic was "A IL

years. The record Of the ten months
now available in the statistical divIs-
ion Of the bureau Of foreign and do
mestic commerce indicates hat the
wheat exports Of the full year will
exceed 100 million bushels, against SO
million bushels In 1911 and 62 million
in 1910. The total for tho ten months
ended with October Ia 76A million
bushels. against 67& million in the

This increase occurred chiefly in the

Only about one-fourth Of the wheat
exported in October, 1912. went in

thirds Of that exported in October of
last year had been transformed into

trast in the proportion OF the wheat

VALUABLE TO ONE
Lost Pocketbook Restored to
Owner Because of List
Kept by Advertiser.

Williston. n. T., Nov. 2e.-Through
h systematic methods Of a Williston
business man. and the conscientious
efforts Of Mckenzie county citizens, Il
Bonetraill farmer will recover a roll
OF cash and valuable papers.
Over three Years ago Otis A. Houge
of Williston. gave out as advertise
ments a large number of key rings
with name tags. bearing his name and
business attached.
Mr.. Houge is q thoroughly method
tcal business man as Well as a liberal
advertiser. and adopted the method
OF making a list of the names and ad-
dresses Of all the recipients Of the
little business getters. Subsequent
events have proven that the value of
IN fore-sishted custom can extend in
more than one direction.
One OF the key rings was given to
andrew q. Johnson, a young farmer
residing in the Bonetraill vicinity; and
II appears that MIR. johnson had his
name. but not his address, placed on
the name tag. a short time ago Il
pocketbook containing a considerable
sum In currency, some important pa
rers. and q ring of keys, was found
Tar over in Mckenzie county near the
Yellowstone river. The tag on the
Key ring bore the name of Andrew G.
johnson. The finder had no knowl-
edge of an Andrew G.. johnson; SO
meeting Sheriff Jacobson Of tina, coun-
~ soon afterward. he turned the pock-
ethook over tn him in the hope that
the owner might he found. The sheriff
who probably knows every permanent
resident Of his county. was not ac-
quatnted with any man bearing that
name.
Seeing the name Of o. A. Houge on
the Key tag he made the natural de-
auction that the Williston land man
might know Johnson's whereabouts.
The first time he was in the city he
laid h matter before Mr.. Houre
who had only TO refresh his memory
by referring to his list of names. He
Immediately wrote to Mr.. Johnson at
BonetraM and within a few days he
will again he in possession Of his
property. and will doubtless prize
more highly than ever the useful
trinket. which together with Mr..
Houge's careful business system. was
tho means Of saving him a consider
able loss.
