"PUREST WATER IN AMERICA"

the Mimbres Valley is the general evenness of
the land. The entire valley slopes at the rate of
about eight feet to the mile from the northwest
to the southeast. Many fields require absolutely
no leveling from the beginning. Others require
little while on an average So per acre will level
the land for irrigation. Compare this expense
with the $50 and $40 per acre required in many
parts Of California, Arizona and New Mexico.
To sum the matter up this may be said for
ALimbres Valley soils: phenomenal yields indi-
cate great fertility; absolutely no alkalies or
salts in injurious quantities. admirable adapta-
ton to irrigation; small leveling expense neces-
sary.

the Tribune Governors ''deliber-

Teddy went fro mthe Illinois
: Central station to Hotel LaSalle,
accompanied by Frank H. Funk,
Medill Mccormick and Harold
Ickes. A wild mob followed
Teddy's auto and he was forced
to make a short speech.
Then he gave out his opinion
of Gov. Deneen as follows:
"Deneen has seen fit to assail me
by wilful and deliberate perver-
sion of the TRUTH" said the Col

when several progressive Repub-

make "a, special contests in addi-

things. among them the presence OF Mr..
RYAN as Virginia delegate without
any noise or undue publicity. the vote
cast by Virginia during the greater

attack on Mr.. Ryan By William jen-
ninxs Bryan, the spirited defense OF

CONGRESSMAN Flo ID. and Woodrow VIII
sons refusal to accept financial aid
from a man so intimately allied with
the interests.
It is quite clear that Mr.. Ryan was
certain of one thing. He did not want

rejection of his money had proved that
he W ould never do as Ryan CANDIDATE.
He was too Independent and too frank
and too eager to keep clean OF any
