that haze been reclaimed during the past year and
passed TO patent
hese claims t0iH Average a little better than
100 acres. There were eight desert land claims
Of approximately go acres each, 81 hOmesteOds
and desert land claims of 100 acres each, and
se0en claims of an average Of 80 acres each,
making a grand total of 1000 acres patented to
the residents Of Luna county during the II months
last past
As the lands at nominal DaLue Of $40 per
acre means an increase in the taxable property Of
this one county Of $1,000 in II months from
this source alone, Yet many of these claims are
being sold at prices Dhich range from so to 500
per acre as soon as title can be passed.
In the II months from March +, 1911, to
March !, 1912, there haze been more than 1900
entries made under the homestead, desert land and
scrip provisions of the land Zaws, and Nth an
average acreage of but 100 acres to the claim it
means oOer 200, 900 acres Of land acquired BY the
people, and the adOent Of more than 1000 neU
families in the southwest portion of the netO state
Is It any wonder that there Is more money spent
IN the erection of substantial buildings per capita
IN Deming than IN any other town IN the south
west?
Is It not easy to understand, once you have
investigated Deming, why one of the strongest
electrical concerns IN America, after studying the
situation here for SIX months, after sending their
trained experts into the field, and receiDing eIab-
crate reports upon every phase of the situation, Is
preparing to spend a half million dollars IN the
erection of a power plant which will furnish
power to farmers for pumping?

Why?

Because IN your investigation OF other sections
you will find this or that feature not to your liking.
In one place you u0iE find bad r0ater;
In another aIbaZi soils;
In another m1American population;
In another factiOnal fights;
In another too many nOss-bdcRs;
In another 0aLues inflated and unsteady;
In another insufficient and updependable tOdter
supply;
In another a little clique of men controlling co
erything;
In another bad markets;
In another insufficient railroad facilities;
In another knockers;
In another poor schools;
In another other bad features.
And you may find tt0O or more of these bad
features in one place.
HOD different u0hen you come to Deming!
Instead of finding bad water, you find abso-
IuteIy the purest tOater in america.
Instead Of finding a large foreign element, you
find thoroughly American population.
Instead of finding factionaI fights, you find
community united and cooperating for The general
good.
Instead Of finding too many nOss-bdcks, you
find a community enterprising and prOgressiOe
Instead Of finding OaIues inflated and IN
steady, you find the cheapest land OF its character
in America.

A crowd of fight fans" that
thronged Goodwill hall at the ath-
letic entertainment OF the Lotos A.
G. last night saw a quick finish put
to the main bout between Luke
Oliver, of this city. and Jack Ten
Brock. of California. Fighting had
lasted but q minute, when after a
minute, when after a quick Jolt
given by Oliver, Ten Brock vas
lifted OF his feet and landed forcibly
upon the floor. OF the ring. The back
of his head hit hard and he paled
as he lapsed into state OF semi-con-
seriousness. Prior to this the going
was even. Both men exchanged hard
punches which had telling effect. At
one juncture Luke" received a lab
that caused him to wabble ~nervously
and he continued with more eau
ton than when he started.
Semi-Final Short.
The semi-final contest lasted about
the same length of time, because
VIII Sutty, of Tottenville, was no
match for AL. Minkler, Of this city.
The former was fooTed for more than
the count after about a minute Of the
match. Bill Handerhan stopped
Frank Mccoy In one preliminary
bout and the two others were eXCit-
ing while they lasted. Jimmy Chris
Jensen and Johnny Janderup, both
members Of the Danish-AmeriCan
A. c., wrestled In interesting style for
fifteen minutes to a draw. Christian

Brock injured his head in the fall.
Both men were heavier than those
usually seen in the local ring and
some interesting work had been ex-
pected from them. Both opened eau
tiously, each feeling his way for a
lead. Oliver moved HIS hands rapid
ly and appeared somewhat nervous.
They exchanged walaops in inter
esting style for a brief space of
time, when Luke sent a singing
left lab to the jaw. The Californian
moved his head backward and at the
same time he appeared to be lifted
off his feet with divers left arm
and he fell heavily to the floor. His
face whitened as Referee Floyd Bar

corner.
Nifty Hudson Introduced
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-04-10

, Nifty Hudson, of TottenviHe. was
unable to go on with Al Minkler in
the semi-tinal because OF an liberated
tooth. VIII Sutty, another Totem
Vile boy, who spars with Hudson,
made a vain endeavor to fill the bill
with Minkler, He lead just once
and missed his aim, failing to hit
Minkler once throughout the minute
the bout lasted. Minkler sent him
away Tor the count when he foored
HIM in the center of the ring. 1t
was announced after this match that
Nifty Hudson would meet Johnny
Carol, Of this city, at the next
Lotos entertainment on April %.
Jimmy McVeigh, Of Newark, bill

of Rosebank, 8. I. in three rounds OF
a bout scheduled to go four. The
pair opened evenly, but towards the
end of the first round McVeigh had
the claret flowing freely from LAT
fey's face. He showered short
Wslghty jabs to his face throughout
the remaining two rounds, but Laf-
fey held his own pretty we'll In the
second round. The third was all Nc
Weighs and the bout was ended.
Lafrey was Landed for his gameness.
He received terrible punishment and
withstood 1t wonderfully. He fought
Johnny Carroll at a Lotos show sew
eral months ago and was knocked
down many times. He came back
each time in a game manner. The
referee of that bout said it would
take a trolley car to knock him
down for keeps.
Bill Handerhan, of Fords, made
sh ort work of Frank Mccoy, of this
city. He stopped "Mc' after two
minutes of work.
Young Gradual, billed as Jack
Harris, of Bayonne, bested Young

four rounds but the Bayonne boy had
him holding on after the first
round.

Value of Good Referee.

The Permo Athletic Club is to be
congratulated upon having an arbi-
ter endowed with the high degree
has shown during the many good
bouts held under the auspices of
that club. A careless and indiffer-
ent third man in the ring will go
further toward killing the boxing
game, especially where there Is no
state law permitting bouts, than
any other cause. With a man such
as Munroe, In the ring, who can and
will stop a bout when n of the
contestants is either hopelessly out
classed or upon the verge Of a
knockout, the members are spared
the absolutely brutal exhibitions
which formerly went to a bloody
and sometimes fatal conclusion.
Bouts Of this class were the kind
that have kept the f1stic game In
such bad repute. The advent of the
present day referee Is gradually put
ting the sport in Its rightful place,
well uD 10 the fore in the list OF
popular amusements. Regulated
boxing Is a healthy red-blooded
sport and one that appeals to thou
sands.

Edward Ralph, of Hightstown,
champion pocket billiard player of
the world, has accepted De Oro's
challenge for a championship match
hinged with a $1,000 side bet.
Ralph, who Is we'll known through
out the country, has had many in
teresting battles on the green Gov
cred tables with "our own" Joe Con
cannon, at present of Newark. You
all remember the time when Joe
had something on the "HiShtstown
barber" but the Perth Amboy lad
could not stand the pace of Ralph's
advancement. The New York
World has the following to say of
the Ralph-De Orc match:
alfred De Orc has challenged
Edward Ralph, winner of the recent
pocket billiard championship tourn-
ament in Philadelphia, to a match
for the championship and $1,000 a
side. Ralph has accepted and the
game will probably be played in
Horticultural Hall, Philadelphia,
where the tournament was held.

RALPH VS.. DEORO
I'M A TITLE MATCH

I'm accepting the challenge,
Ralph is treating De Orc with a
great deal more consideration than
the former champion showed him
some nine years ago. At that time
Ralph, who halls from Hightstown,
N. j., challenged De Orc to a match
for 500 a side, and the match was
arranged. Two days before it was
to have taken place, friends Of De
ORC wrote telling him that Ralph
could beat all of the Philadelphia
cracks with his eyes shut. Conse-
quently De Orc called off the match
and demanded back the forfeit he
had put up for appearance Ralph
had the financial backing of the old
City Hall crowd OF Philadelphia,
and De ORC had a hard time col
lecting his money when he refused
to play Ralph.
when Ralph was introduced at
the tOurnment which resulted in his
winning the championship, he was
presented as the 'Hightstown bar
ber.'

X remarkable fact connected with the business transacted in Nome dur ing the Christmas holidays Is that all those who sell jeuewry, toys and dry goods sold more than they had sold during the Christmas holidays in any year for long time.
 In other lines. such as grocery and supplies generally, the business seem ed to be something better but the inn provement, of course. was not so pro nounced as necessaries will usually be sold in quantities in accordance with the population.
 R. B. Zehner did more business during the Christmas holidays this year than for any year since 1907 which he says was the banner busi ness year. This increase of trade was noticeable all through the month of December. Business this year was not only better but far better. q
 on the day before Christmas A. J Mueller sold more goods than he did on any other day since he has been ir business in Nome. He says there is no comparison between that day and any other.

WALLACE. Idaho Dec. 30.-An avalanche of snow partially destroyed the town of Mace yesterday and sev- eral people have probably lost their lives. Only one man is known posi- lively. however. to have been killed. He is James Flaherty.
 Quite a number of the residents are missing and, although an effort is be- ing made to keep the minds of their friends easy, there is very little hope that they are not buried under the great piles of snow and debris.
