"Purest Water
In America"

Time after time IN the advertisements
Of Deming you find the statement, Visit
other towns first" Why do we desire
prospectors to visit other towns first?
simply because we know that Deming
and the Mimbres Valley, compared
point by point with any section IN Amer
lea, offers absolutely the best advantages
of any to the homeseeker and investor.
Take up the points which interest the
homeseeker IN one, two, three order: Gil
mate, soil, water, irrigation facilities,
railroad facilities, schools, churches, bust
ness advantages, profitable farming it
makes no difference what point thehome-
seeker centers his attention, Deming IS
there first and with the best.

Purest Water in America.


Water, the Purest in America and
abundant IN quantity Is the chief asset of
this remarkable region. This water lies
IN a tremendous natural reservoir pro-
tected from evaporation within easy
pumping depth of the surface. This
gives the Mimbres Valley the most eco
nomic and dependable supply of water
IN the southwest for irrigation. 1t IS a
valley of Independent waternghts. The
individual farmer IS boss of his own ditch,
he gets his water just when he wants it,
he knows what to count on, he can sys-
temize his work, he does not receive the
seeds Of noxious weeds from his neigh

mest WGter in America.

The soil Is Of great depth and wonder
full richness and fertility. UntroubIed'
by alkalies or injurious salts, the farmer
of the Mimbres Valley IS assured of ire
mendous yields. The heavier soil IS what
Is known as adobe; the lighter soils are
sandy loan with a varying content of
sand. In proximity to the river bed, there
Is heavy silt loan, which Is also found
IN various wide draws which cross the
valley.

There are SIX active churches IN Dem
ing. Arrangements have just been COM
pleted by two churches IN Deming to
build splendid buildings. one to cost
$18,000.00, and the other to cost $l0-
10000.
Twenty-seven new businesses have
been opened IN Deming since January lst
last. A growing town always offers
splendid opportunities for new businesses,
and Deming Is growing faster and more
substantially than any other town IN New

country. This is a fact that all music
lovers should keep in mind-sO
that they may always be ready
to lend hand in making
musica. events in this city successful.
II has been said by one OF the best
musical critics in Chicago, Glen Dill
lard Gum. that all artists depend on
the smaller towns for their support,
perhaps even more than on the large
cities. They must all go on concert
tours and the more towns there are
that have been educated TO an appre-
citation Of the best in music, the great
or support they receive and the more
opportunities the towns have for
hearing the great artists OF the world
Many years ago at different times
Rock Island could boast OF flourish
inr musical organizations such as
clubs. choruses and orChestras then
something happened. and suddenly We
found ourselves absolutely without a
single musical organization with the
exception OF a few teachers private
classes. professional orchestras and
the conservatory Of music at Angus
tana college, Of which We have always
teen proud
This was a doplorable condition and
r,ore to be regretted when We realiz.

we were forced TO go to these other

time the Rock Island Musical club is

20 elevate music and TO eGucate and
entertain those whoFhava been pleased
to add their names to its membership.
II has endeaT1 - 10 bring the best
artists 10 the q ! 18th the result thai
in the last three years under the aus
pieces of the club we have been able
to hear such artists as Bruno Stsindel,
cellist; Ferdinand Steiudel. pianist;
hugo Kortscbalk violinist; Agnes
Hope Piilsbury, pianist; Madame
Schumann-Heink, contralto: Ludwig
Becker. violinist; Helen Waldo, con-
tralto; Madame Frances Aida, So
pIano; George Hamlln, tenor.
All Of these artists have enjoyed
their recitals here, appearing before
large audiences, which were very ap-
preciative and enthusiastic.
OF course the AUgustana conserva-
tory has also brought a humber of
celebrated musicians, including Jo-
seph Hofmann, Harold Bauer, etc, all
of which helps TO give Rock Island a
GOOD name in the musical world.
The club season closes in June of
each year but this does not mean that
Rock Island has no further opportun-
ity to hear good music, for during the
summer months the best bands in the
country have given some good pro-
grams at the Watch Tower and
Rleuer's band Of Rock Island has given
pleasure to many at Long View park.
On every side we see the real in
fuence the club has had on the com

diligently with the club 20 encourage
them and many people have acknowl-
edged that they have been greatly &c.

attendants at the study meetings as
we'll as at the artists recitals. So II
