For a Three.Cent Railroad
Fare in New Mexico.

The state corporation commission
recently issued an order to the rail
roads of New Mexico to send repre-
sentatives TO hearing to be held
November II at Santa Fe The
commission wishes to consider an
interchangeable mileage ticket which
it wishes to put in force. The order
grows out of the lack of uniformity
between the passenger tariffs on the
various railroads operating in the
state. A straight three.cent fare is
asked in the place of local rates
ranging from four cents mile to
five cents. The mileage books now
issued at rates lower than the regu-
lar fare are not interchangeable and
compel the travelling public to invest
in a number Of books in order to
avail themselves of the reduction.
The order is signed by Hugh II.
Williams, chairman.
The order has been issued to the
following railroads: The Arizona &
New Mexico Railway; the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railway; Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway;
Cimarron Il Northwestern Railway;
the Colorado & Southern Railway;
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Com
pany; FL Paso & Southwestern Sys-
TEN; New Mexico Central Railroad
Company; New Mexico Midland
Railroad; Santa Fe, Ration 4 East

50 PARTS SOLIDS
IN 100000 WATER
Recent Analysis Made by
Professor Hare of Agri.
cultural College
PURE IN WORLD
Amount and Nature of Min
erals Set Forth in Official
Report.

In Deming's city water supply
there are o total of thirty parts of
solids in 100000 parts of the H.
quid. This is the verdict of Prof.
X. +. Hare, head of the depart
ment of chemistry of the New Mex.
leo College of Agriculture and Me-
chanic Arts and Agricultural EXper-
iment Station, the analysis being
made for the Deming Real Estate
board. and made available for pub
lication through the courtesy of J. s.
Vaught, secretary.
1899 PURE"
This analysis is the latest of Sc
ries which has been made at inter
walls during the past twenty years
from over thirty wells in widely
separated sections of the Mimbres
Valley. the slogan "99.99" is
hardly original with the present
editor of THE GRAPHIC. It is of
interest to note, however, the uni
formity of the government chemists
reports on the great subterranean
body of water underlying the whole
of the great Mimbres Valley, as il
points clearly to one great source,
pure and inexhaustible.
HEALTH AND WEALTH.
This great water supply is as sure
as the seasons, and must continue as
long as the snow falls and melts on
the everlasting hills that surround
the valley. 1t means, of course,
pure water supply for the city OF
Deming and an overabundance OF
CLEAN water for irrigation pur
poses. The first spells health fo'
the city dweller and the latter
wealth for the farmer.
The exact amount and the natur,
of the thirty parts of solids arr
clearly set forth by Professor Har'
in the following official report; lime
7.50; magnesia, 30; soda, 4.55
sulphates, 3.95; chlorides, $50; car
Donates, $50; black alkali, o; oxy
gen, equiv. cl, l.lS; crystal wate
and undetermined. LIS. This is a
pure as once distilled water and
far more healthful.

Hard Luck.

for Santa Rita in the Pollard car
last week, but a disgruntled one

he does want the names of those
who are contemplating change.
Il costs the chamber through its
advertising something like $3 each
to get such names, and If you have
the name of live prospect, you are
helping just that much by putting
the chamber in touch with him.

through the mail from some friend
interested in this section, and do not
have time to answer it yourself,
turn the letter in to the secretary.

Vallandigham Bouquets.

The following is taken from the
last issue of the Deming Headlight
and is the best evidence of the good
will existing between the two news.
papers of Deming. 1t is a sidelight
too on the united, boosting spirit
of Deming and the Mimbres Val
ley.
The Graphic has been sold by
Holt 4 DePuy to Clyde Earl Ely,
formerly with the Santa Fe New
Mexican, who will assume control
next Monday, November 4. The
news of this transfer of property
came as a surprise to the people of
Deming. In the three years that
these gentlemen have conducted the
destinies of the Graphic. that paper
has improved so rapidly that it has
become one of the leading weekly
papers in the state and especially
so when it came to the publicity of
the development work of this district.
Brothers Holt and DePuy own
large land interests in the valley.
and felt that now was the time to
do their development work, and with
the interests of the Graphic to take
up their entire time, they are handi-
capped in the work they desire to do
on their lands--it needs their per-
sonal supervision.
The newspaper field has lost two
good men, hut the HEADLIGHT is as.
sured that Mr.. Ely will keep the
Graphic up to its high standard as
an advocate of all that is good for
the city of Deming and the Mimbres
valley.
The HEADLIGHT regrets to lose
Holt & DePuy as business associates,
as the relations between the HEAD
LIGHT under its present management
and the Graphic have been of the
most pleasant nature.
The HEADLIGHT, however, wei
comes the new management and feel'
assured that our personal and bust
ness relations of boosting the cit,
and country will move smooth,
and effectively for the benefit of al
our constituency"

Interesting Discussion of
Modern School Meth.
DDS by Members
ADOPTED CONSTITUTION
Sessions to be Held First
Monday of Each Month.
Pupils Program

The Patrons Club held an enthu-
.iastic and well attended meeting at
the High School building at3 o'clock
last Friday afternoon. A large
number of new members were ad-
mitted and a constitution adopted
making the organization a perma-
nent one. The articles which have
appeared recently in the Ladies'
Home Journal condemning the pres
ent public school system, were dis
cussed. A very able analysis of the
arguments advanced against the
public school system was presented
by Attorney J. S. Vaught.
NEW CONDITIONS.
New conditions have arisen,"
said Mr.. Vaught, 'and the public
school system has not changed its
method to conform with them.
While the average high school pupil
has a very good idea of Hamlet or
perhaps Socrates very few are able
to tell anything of the lives and
achievements of such present day
characters as La Toilette, Jane Adj
dams or Samuel Gompers."
TEACHERS DOING BEST.
The examinations as now given
are unfair and the system of mark.
ing uncertain. For this the teach.
ers are no more to blame than the
parents who fail to take an interest
in the affairs of the school. II a
pupil is exceptionally bright the in
structor is given no credit for sue
cess, and on the other hand if a pu.
oil fails because he is unable to
measure up to the general standard
set for all, the instructor is given
the blame"
COOPERATION NECESSARY.
Mr.. Vaught went on to say tina,
the average business man is unable
to give attention to the schools ant
that the teachers cannot put a new
system into effect without the co
operation of the parents. He ended
by saying by saying that it was th'
mothers, by concerted effort, and b,
the arousing of public sentimen
who could formulate a plan t
modernize the present curriculum t
to meet present day needs.
Mrs. W. T.. Holt came loyalty t.
the defense of things as they are o
ought to be and cited competan
authority to show that betweel
twenty and twenty-five percent o
the grammar school graduate ente
the high school aud are given tn
opportunity of gaining "A complet
theoretical education. In IN
opinion of the commissioner of ed
ucation," said Mrs. Holt" this las
is in a great measure the basis q
American achievement in the man
fields in which il has excelled.
LIMITED FUNDS.
Superintendent j. B. Taylor TOT
up the cudgel in defense of moder

meetings shall be held the first Fri
day in each month at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon and shall not remain
in session over an hour. The limi-
tation in time prevented the taking
up in detail of the question box, but
number of question were read and
commented upon by Mr.. Taylor.
Moving pictures, industrial educa-
ton, corporal punishment and 9th.
ers equally interesting were handed
in.
MISS sCoTT's PROGRAM.
Proceeding the regular business
the club was entertained by an ex-
ccedingly interesting program given
by the children of Miss Freda Scott's
room. Songs, recitations, piano
solos were given and received with
hearty applause. The pupils Of
Miss Margurite Goebel's room were
intrusted with the next program on
vote of the members club. 1t was
interesting to note that some OF the
mothers were entitled to vote'we''
n number of times, by right OF hav'
inc children attending the several
