tending Service.

Iete arc system of lighting the
streets of Deming with the latest
Tungsten lamps is being pushed
vigorously by the Deming Ice and
Electric Company and will be COM
pleted as soon as the material, much
of il of special design, arrives and
is available. Forty-three sixty.can-
die power lamps and eighty-four
thirty.two candle power lamps will
be operated in two circuits. The
former on a moonlight schedule, the
latter continuously each night from
dusk until midnight. The length of
the contract to furnish the new
lights is eight years. The contract
was drawn July and the work is
to be completed by November 20.
VERY LATEST DEVELOPMENT.
The lighting in the business dis
trict is to be of the ornamental va
riety two lights on each pole and
three or four poles to the square.
The system of street lighting in the
Eas' is by the Tungsten lamp, the
old arcs being everywhere discarded.
The system being installed here is
the very latest development. The
work has been somewhat delayed by
the slowness with which the factory
has turned out the special fixtures
ordered by the local lighting COM
pany.
CAPITALISTS IMPRESSED.
Last week H. S. Thompson, Rod
ney Hit and Mr.. Rhodes, fiscal
agents of the Federal Light and
Traction Company of New York
City, of which the local plant is a
subsidiary concern, were here and
inspected the power house and also
examined the irrigated lands of the
Mimbres Valley to ascertain the
possibilities for profitable invest
ments. They were very mucf
pleased with the present status OF
development and impressed with the
magnitude of the operations new
going on. MIR. Thompson STATED
that he would return here just al
soon as no could conveniently ar
range his affairs and would purchase
raw land with the idea of develop
ing it on scale larger than yet at
tempted.
ANTICIPATING EAfANoioN'
These capitalists were of the opin
ion that the Deming Ice and Electro
Company would anticipate future
expansion in the Mimbres Vale.
and would be in a position to serv'
power wherever the demand wa
heavy enough to guarantee the cos
of erecting the lines. Familiar Wit
the details of irrigation investments
and in fact adopts in all matter
financial, these gentlemen expresses
astonishment, after a survey OF IN
development work, because OF tn
evident large returns from the eS
pending of comparatively sma
amount of capital.

Who are the people of Deming,
and whence did they come? This is
a question which is frequently asked
by visitors attracted to Deming and
the Mimbres Valley by the publicity
work of the Chamber of Commerce
and the GRAPHIC. Most of these
people have come with the definite
idea of making their home here and
it is but natural that they should
make inquiry concerning their pros
pective neighhors.
ALL AMERICANS.
The population of the city is now
something over 5000. Of this num-
ber not over $50 are Mexicans,
there being only twenty registered
voters of this most amiable race.
Practically all of these are laborers.
many more of whom could be used
as farm help in the valley. There
are no negroes and few Others OF
alien races. BY these figures it can
be readily seen that the great bulk
of Deming's citizens are Americans
by birth. There are no Indian res
ervations or pueblos in the valley.
These facts explain why Deming is
the most wide awake town in New
Mexico and the reason its people
are undivided by the dissension
which is always present in communi-
ties whose peoples are of different
race and religion.
WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
A survey of the city shows that
the great bulk of the people came
from twenty-seven states--Mlchl'
gan, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Indiana
Illinois, Texas, Arkansas, Idaho, Ten
nessee, California, Oregon, Iowa
Mississippi, Colorado, Nevada, Lou
isiana, Alabama, Washington, Ore
gon, Missouri, Maine, Nevada, Kan

Virginia and South Dakota. Gath

TRY NEW TYPE
IRRIGATION WELL
Getting Every Possible Drop
from Each of Three
Strata is Idea
USES WATER ELEVATOR
Cement Curbed Pit Reaches
Second Stratum and
Drill Third.

Prof. George +. Bell is sinking
l3O-foot well on his place nine miles
south of the city. While the well
he now has is sufficient to irrigate a
small area he figures that he can
pump from 800 to 1000 gallons IA
minute by going down to the third
stratum. which will give hila water
to irrigate 100 acres.
NEW IDEA.
The we'll now has a ffty.foot pit
with a drilled hole extending to the
second stratum at the 75.fo0t level.
This hole will be cased with a twelve
inch casing ard the hole extended to
the third stratum at the l30-foot
level and cased with l0.inch casing.
The pit will then be extended out
side of the twelve-inch casing to the
second stratum level and curbed all
the way down with cement. This
l2-inch casing will then be un-
screwed from the l0.inch casing and
a cap placed over the l0-inch casing
with outlets curved downward to
admit the third stratum flow and
shut off the sand that possibly could
fall from above. The second stratum
flow will then be permitted to enter
the well under the cement curbng,
thus excluding any possible sedi.
ment from that stratum. The first
stratum flow will enter the well
through fine screened opening in
the cement curbing set at the proper
level. Prof. Bell is sure that the
water will reach within fifty feet of
the surface.
WATER ELEVATOR.
The method of obtaining the
third stratum flow is very much in
vogue in California and is callel the
reduction system" \ water ele-
vator will be operated to lift the
water which will he driven by the
most efficient engine that Prof. Bell
can procure. The water elevator is
now being used on the Cantrell
place, lifting 500 gallons minute
with n l0-horse power engine from
a well put down by Houglan and
Harris This is considered to be the
cheapest lift possible. Hannah and
Ferguson, we'll diggers. are putting
down the well on the Bell place.
20 ACRES THIS YEAR.
Prof. Bell intends to develop his
land slowly ard in a conservative
: manner. Next season he expects Ia
put in twenty acres in onions pota,
; toes. maize, beans and tomatoes,
and will have his hands full at that
he declared.
= His idea is a new one in the Min
u bres Valley and its success vii

\ idea is attractive and there seems t,

in love with the lOrdly Ch&ntecler.
With the night come the Owls who
hate Chantecler because he brings the
day that deprives them OF their power
to destroy and kill. Thar hatred is
shared by the hypocrlital Blackbird;
by the pompous TurkcY, who will not
acknowledge him as aero whom he
knew as a youngster; by the Pullet be-
cause he is not ugly, by the Duck be-
cause his toes are not. stuck togetIl-
er; by the Cat because the Dog loves
him-for OF sucn trifles are human
enmities made
I Around these symbolic characters
is woven drama OF tremendous in
tensity full of rae humor. Through
the plotting OF the birds and animals,
male and female, Chantecler is driv-
ell to the forest and there crushed
with grief, lets the Pheasant, who
symboizes selfishness and love, cover
his head with her wing while the light
begins to dawn in the heavens When
he raises his head again he has found
that a day has been born without his
growing which hitherto, Chantecler in
his superb egotsm had believed to be
his great work in life His faith al
most dies until suddenly a Nightingale
takes up the song VI another that haI
lust been killed by huntsman.
There must be Nightingale in
the forest" says the youngster.
And in the soul faith"
That lives however oft It's slain,
arawers Chantecler. For Chantecler
realizes that while he may not ere

it TO a sleeping world, Never has

as Rostand has given 10 his message
Of the nobility of work and the neces'
sity OF faith in it. There are many
passages Of great poetic beauty in the
drama. Chantecler's chant known as
the Ode TO the Sun is one OF the glor'
les of the play. The drama is divid-
ed into four acts. The first act laid
in the haruyard shows the farm house
the dog kennel and various farming
paraphernalia all greatly exaggerated
in size so as to dwarf the stature OF
the actors. The second act shows the

Is to be seen in Edmond Rostand's
celebrated play, "Chantecler." Ros-
