nently justified by both natural and
conditions that exist in this
bailiwick.
The man who knows how to use
the hoe practically and is not afraid
Of the job is gradually getting on
the iiring line in the Mimbres Valley,
and ere long he will be here in such
numbers that the results of his eff
fort, will turn the broad acres now
covered with mesquite and sage
brush, into fields of prolific alfalfa
and numerous other stable feed
crops. magnificent orchards, beauti-
tul gardens, handsome homes and a
progressive citizenship that will be
an -" reciallvc model in any com
munity. Then will this valley be what
the good Lord intended it should
one of the prcttlcst aud most attrac-
tive spots on this old earth, where
beauty, chivalry, general prosperity
and cOntentment will reign supreme
and Dcming will be- beautiful me-
lropolls of 10000 souls or more,
with II rapidly growing tendency,
possessing all the advantages, So
rially, politically, religiously and in
II business way to be found in any
up-to-date hustling, though modest
little city in Uncle Sans dominions.
There are great future possibilities
for the betterment of human kind in
this peerless valley.
In paragraph wrote last week
which was published in the Graphic,
where ! spoke of the amount Of the
individual deposits usually carried
by the Deming banks, the linotype
made me say that amount was about
"Sl5O,OOO," but my statement was
about S750,O00." Some difference
You see! The fact is, as | understand
ii, II Sl5O,OOO is merely looked upon
as pocket change and pin money for
the better halves" by the prospecting
of the Deming banks.
There is wealth here to beat the band.
and what is better still, it is dug out
of the earth in these "diggings," both
from the mountains and the plateaus.
Great country, "ain't it, Mr.. Tender

The poet who wrote 81 would not
live always on these terrestrial
shores" of course had never expert
enccd even an hour in the exhierat-
ing climate of the Mimbres Valley of
New Mexico. Had he ever breathed
one Whit of this wholesome noun
tain atmosphere, he never would have
written that way unless he was
lunatic.
When the good ladies of Deming
fully make up their minds and go on
a cleanup crusade in this little city.
you are going to see the men as well
as the ladies get busy and the war
fare that will be waged on the trash,
weeds and other unsightly accumula-
lions on vacant lots, streets, alleys
and family yards, will disappear
from the public scenes and in their
place will hc cleanliness, attractive
environments and civic condition that
will be JOY forever, not only to the
good people in this city Of aesthetic
tastes, but to all sojourners who ad-
mire the beautiful, that chance to
come this way.
The chamber of commerce room
is a veritable human bee hive during
nearly every business hour of the
day. Here are to be seen men and
women, too, haling from all parts of
the country, from Maine to Califor-
mia, Minnesota to Florida and inter
mediate commemorative, seeking in
formation regarding the tangible
wonders of the Mimbres Valley from
IN agricultural standpoint. And this
information is being sought by those
with view of casting their lots here
and becoming identified with the bus
mess welfare of this FL Dorado of
the Southwest, and Secretary Holt
is, "Billie on the spot, when it comes
to Showing them" and imparting the
truthful information that usually has
tn, potency to LAND the prospec.
