RANCH ON MIMBRES RIVER

W. ID. Pryor, son of Colonel Ike T.
Pryor, while in El Paso two weeks
ago stated that his father was seek.

then in Kansas City closing a deal.

noted Hat ranch, and now come dis.
patches from Kansas City saying Col.
Pryor has also closed deal with
Mrs. Jack Hardesty and Mrs. Sim
Holstein. widows of two Of the well.
known cattlemen of former DAYS
for the land known as the Nan
ranch. which gives him a range Of
thirty miles along the Mimbres river
in Grant county, New Mexico.
While the number of acres cannot

parties representing the sellers are

ber of acres involved in the deal,
they. in accord with Colonel Pryor,
concede that the property is capa.
bic of sustaining a herd of 10000
cattle, with which the latter pro-
poses to stock it. The land was
located over twenty years ago by
Hoistein when he had his choice of
practically the whole Territory of
New Mexico.
GETS 10000 CATTLE.
The consideration is not given, but
a portion of the land has been ac-
quired through purchase and the
balance of it has been acquired
through long lease. About 10000
head of cattle now on the property
are also included in the deal, and
the lands purchased include large
irrigated farm and extensive or
chards which have been yielding
good revenues for a number of
years.
1t is stated in FL Paso that Colonel
Pryor will at once stock the ranch
to its full capacity and show hi'
faith as a breeder by aiding in tht
work of rejuvenating the cattle
business in this country to the enc
that the export trade in live cattle
and fresh meats may in few years
get back to normal conditions. e

forum of the city and lend their
counsel only to those measures that
are wisest and best for the common
veal. The annual banquet is the
clan gathering of the dynamic
forces of unity when the standard
of progress will be lifted up that
another years campaign may be
begun with the assurance of con-
tinued accomplishment.
FLOW OF SOUL"
Not to the baser appetite only
will this feast appeal w. F.. Holt.
former editor of the GRAPHIC, has
accepted the honor of presiding at
the board as toastmaster and will
lead the flow of soul" in his usual
happy way. Recognized in the
Southwest as the peer of boosters,
Mr.. Holt will have many interesting
and amusing anecdotes to tell of the
early struggles of a little COW
town to gain a place on the map.
OF course there will be-. other
speeches that will add harmonious
note or two to the civic symposium.

1t is perhaps superhuous to add
that every person, however remotely
interested in the city and valley,
should lend the support of his
presence on this occasion. The
evening will discover the innermost
workings and aspirations of the
livest commercial organization in
the Greater Southwest and will afford
an inspiration that no one should
