was found that Champ Clark had a comfortable lead but was far from the number necessary to d two thirds majority. Wilson was more than 100 behind him. There we're but two absentees. Bryan received one lone vote on the first ballot. just enough to put him into the running.
 The unofficial result of the first ballot in the democratic national con yention for the presidential nomina- tion was.
 Sulzer of New York 2; Clark 40 1-2 Wilson 324; Underwood 1l7 1-2; Harmon l4S; Marshall 31; Baldwin 22 absent 2 Bryan l.
 Necessary to 8 choice 72S.
 As soon as the result of the ballot had been announced the convention took a recess until four o'clock this afternoon.
 The Closing Scenes.
 As soon as the Bryan resolution was disposed of the convention took up nominations and the speeches began with the nomination sof Oscar w. Underwood.
 Oscar w. Underwood was placed in nomination by William E. Bankhead, of Alabama
 Champ Clark was placed in nomi, nation by Senator James B. Reed, oi Missouri
 Gov simeon F. Baldwin was nomi mated by Henry Wade Rogers, of New Haven.
 Gov Wilson was nominated by John M. Westcott. of New Jersey.
 Gov .Iudson Harmon was placed in nomination by NJ. A. Dougherty, oi Ohio.
 Gov Thomas R. Marshall was placed in nomination by Senator E. F. ShiYe- ley of Indiana
 The nominating speeches were limit ed to twenty minutes each, and the addresses seconding the nominations were limited to five minutes each.
 Spectacular demonstrations were in- dulged in all during the night. the mention of each candidates name being the signal for calling out a demonstration which lasted all the way from five minutes to one hour land fifteen minutes
 The demonstrations for Wilson and Clark were particularly noisy and lengthy, and officers and policemen failel iu every attempt to stop them.
 As the gray dawn appeared the nominating speeches were not yet completed and there remained num- Der of seconding speeches. The sleep Ing delegates were awakened at times by some particular burst of oraaory and at other times 2 particularly noisy demonstration aroused the heavy, headed and red.eyed delegates
 There was one notable exception to the demonstration rule. and that was in the case of Governor Harmon When Mir. Dougherty concluded his address there was no attempt at a demonstration and there seemed a general desire to cut the secondinp speeches short and hasten the pro ceedings to a ballot.

 A delegate from Connecticut rising to parliamentary question demand led to know if Mir. Ryan was not q regularly accredited member of the Virginia delegation
 'The gentleman will consult the list of delegates and find on, for him self" said Chairman James
 Mir Bryan then began his argument for the resolution.
 This is an extraordinary session, but extraordinary conditions need eX- traordinary remedies, said Mr- Brg- Ian We are now engaged in conduct ing a convention that will place he- fore the country the Democratic nom inee and | assume that each delegate is here because he wants that nom- inee elected and it is in order that We may advance the interests of our candidate.
 "There are questions upon which we may assume the American peo- ple are informed. he continued. And there is not delegate in this con ventiun who does not know that an effort is being made right now to sell the Democratic party intothe bondage of the predatory interests.
 "It is a most brazcn, impudent and insolent attempt 10 make the noni- inee of this convention the hondnl slave of the men who exploit the peo- pie of this country
 He then denounced Ryan, Belmont and Morgan as the men involved. The convention cheered the speaker to the echo.

CLARK IN
 THE LEAD
Convention After an All Night Session Takes One Ballot and Ad-
 journs to 4 O'clock
 This Evening

sitting all through the night the democratic national convention reached the first ballot on the presidential nomination shortly before 7 o'clock this morning. There was no choice. In fact, all candidates were so far away from the two-thirds vote neces- sary to nominate that the dele gates today looked forward to a long, hard fight.
 After the first ballot the con- vention at TIC am. took re- cess until 1 o'clock. In the meantime there will be much studying of the figures on the test vote, and many conferences among the leaders.
 Chairman Jones at 6:43 or dered the first roll call on the presidency. Another attempt was made to adjourn, but James would not recognize the motion and ordered the roll call to pro- ceed.
 The first test of strength be- tween the rival candidates then began.

RURAL CREDIT BANKS
POPULAR IN EUROPE

London, Eng, Nov. 3O.--The
president Of the board of agricul.
ture announces that he will soon in.
troduce in the house of commons a
bill providing for the establishment
in England and Wales of a system
of rural credit banks, similar to
those in the Scandinavian countries
and Germany.
1t is expected that certain of the
big joint-stock banks of London will
be asked to cooperate in providing
funds for these institutions, which
will thus have a better start than
those which have been started prac-
tically as local lending agencies.
Many suggestions have been offered
for the original bill, but it seems to
be agreed that the land banks shall
in their working be as cooperative
as possible.

Stole Christmas Cheer

On Thursday evening about mid
night the Harvey House wine cellar
was broken into and five quarts and
one pint of good Scotch whiskey
taken. Santa Fe Special offi-
Ger Gulusha, assisted by City Mar
shall Mcdonald, arrested Robert Mil
Ter, an employe of the place, after
doing the Sherlock Holmes stunt in
sfuly classic style. The shoes worn
by Miller, the officers allege, fitted
into the tracks found just outside OF
the wine cellar. In default of $500
bail Miller was lodged in the city
lookup to await the action OF the
grand jury.

In the cold grey dawn Of the
morning after the annual Deming
Chamber of Commerce banquet the
members were unanimously of the
opinion that the event was the great
est in the history Of the city. While
the Mimbres Valley spirit has been
pointed out as the inspiration of the
Southwest, never before did it mani.
fest itself to the extent seen last
evening and this morning, when the
wit and wisdom of the region gath
cred around the festive board to
renew their oath of fealty to the
tenets of progress.
WILD ENTHUSIASM.
The members and guests of the
Chamber of Commerce foregathered
at the local Harvey House about $50
o'clock Tuesday evening and the
meeting did not break up until after
3 o'clock Wednesday morning amid
the widest enthusiasm. Every seat
in the spacious dining room was re-
served and all were occupied Tues
day evening when the retiring presi'
dent. Fl. H. Kelly, called the meet
ing to order with few appropriate
remarks and read his annual report

which were numbered the creation

Borderland Route

The advance pages Of the route
book of the Borderland Route issued
by the Transconsinental Touring
Club of America has been received
in this office.
The announcement coming at the
opening of the winter touring sea
son-the busy season on the beauti.
full Borderland Route gives promise
of unprecedented travel and activity
through this territory this winter
and will undoubtedly arouse consid-
cradle local enthusiasm.
Until this year winter transconti-
mental touring has been impractica-
BILE because the northern and central
routes are impossible. However,
the tide of transcontinental touring
will not recede this winter because
il will be diverted by the efforts OF
the Transcontinental Touring Club
of America along the beautiful
sunny Borderland Route.
It devolves upon local enthusiasts
and public spirited citizens to put
the roads of this community in the
best possible condition for this ex-
pected travel, If for no other reason
than the good impression 1t VIII
make for the locality on these tour
lists of means and influence, while
they owe it to the community and
the touring club to cooperate with
that organization in any way they
can.
Unprecedented cooperation o'
this nature, as we'll as extraordinary
activity in all parts of the country
has awakened wider interest II
Transcontinental touring than eve'
before and promises to turn millions
of dollars as well as many desirable
settlers and investment seekers lnt'
the southwest who have hitherto
made Europe their haunt. Mucl
splendid literature has been prohta
bly circulated in the East and tn
organization of at least two or NOR
; national touring and road-buildin'
; bodies has caused marked advance
ment in long touring interest a
we'll as bringing that point neare
when a beneficial national leglsle:'o
e may be expected.
The Route Book will contain no
t only the route detail and maps ou
r descriptions of the route and po'h'
e Of interest as well as local views.

asked for Secretary Roy Bedichck
delivered the last word on boosting
and publicity methods. The report
was an exhaustive study of the re-
turns from proper advertising and
the media used to make these re-
turns sure. He spoke of the friend
ly relations with the railroads and
the efforts made to preserve this
spirit and at the same time gain
those concessions so necessary to the
development of an agricultural see
ton. The locating of the Southern
Pacific shops here was predicted.
The rebellion in Mexico was given
AS the reason for the hesitancy of
the middle-western homeseekers to
investigate the Mimbrcs Valley pos
sibilities. He pointed out that the
yellow journals had played up the
Mexican situation until many people
believed that it were possible for a
handful of half.starved bandits Ia
cross the border in the face of the
United States army. In part Mr.
Bedichek said
PUBLICITY WORK.
THE publicity work in the farm
journals of the Mississippi Valley
has begun. From two inser
tons in six representative farm pub
lications we have received $50 inqui

M|MBRES REGION
IS GAME Center
Surrounding Mountains oI
Luna County Teem With
Wild Life
PARTIES OUTFIT HERE
There Are no Game Laws
South Of the International
Boundary.

Deming is the center of the hun
tors paradise of America. The
mountains which surround the Min
bres Valley on every hand are full
Of deer, turkey. bear (grizzly, black
and brown, mountain lion, bobcat,
fox, antelope, mountain goat and
ouail. In the mountain streams
fash innumerable trout, while ducks
of almost every variety are to be
found in the Las Palomas lakes just
south of the international boundary
line. All of these places are within
a radius of 100 miles or less of Dem.
ing, the county seat of Luna coun-
ty, and is reached over the Santa Fe,
Southern Pacific and FL Paso South
western. The city has good hotel
accommodations and is in every way
an ideal place to fit out.
GILA A FAV0RITE.
Most parties going out for short
time find the Gila region the easiest
of access and the most satisfactory.
The hunting ground is only seventy
miles north from Deming, on the
divide between the Mimbres and
Gila watersheds in the Black Range
mountains. A journey of about l25
miles is required If the nimrods go
by motor car. This is by way OF
Hillsboro, from whence the jour
ney is finished by team, distance OF
sixty-four miles. The Black Range
mountains offer a variety OF hunting
suited to the Individual. The siren
uous will find the upper canyons
teeming with game, but requiring
much exertion climbing over rocks
to come at. On the fiat mesas the
black. tailed deer tlourishes, but the
white-tailed variety prefers the
higher altitude of the mountain fast
ness, where they feed on the grammi
grass and scrub oak. Water will b'
found in the Animas river tho smal
matter in a seme-arid country, an'
excellent fishing. There is plenty o
the California quail, but the blue
variety predominates. East an'
Meningitis canyons are considered
good hunting ground. The G. o. 5
ranch country, seventy miles nortl
of Deming, just back of Cook
Peak, has yielded several well-fille'
bays this season. Three days
counting the journey both ways, ar
sufficient to afford some sport Il
this region.
OTHER HUNTING GROUNDS.
Thirteen miles southeast are tn
Florida mountains. Here are foun
antelope and mountain goat Du
since there is no open season 10
this game until 1917, it is adVlsaol
to seek il in Mexico. The Tres HeI
manas mountains are only eightee
miles away and offer good Gee
shooting. The Burro mountain
abound in all the game of this n
gion.
