THEY GIVE UP LONG FIGHT.
Final Word of Santa F'e to Grant and
Stanton Counties Discouraging.

New Ulysses, Kan, March 25.-The
people of Grant and Stanton counties
have given up their long fight for a
railroad. When the Santa Fe's new
Colmor cutoff was proposed from
Dodge City to Colmor, n. Mex, the
citizens of these counties worked hard
to get the road routed through their
county seats, New Ulysses and john
son. Failing in this they have since
worked to get a branch from Satanic
through the two towns. A special bill
was pushed through the past legislature
granting them the privilege of voting
bonds of $4,000 a mile without taking
stock in the Santa F'e in return. This

Deming. y. II, July IO.-Luna cOun-

The commissioners acted upon a petit
tiOn for such an election signed by 500
electors Of the county. This action is
taken in accordance with a law en-
acted at the last legislature providing
for such Institutions and requiring that
they be supported by special tax levy
not exceeding two mills. It is a fore
gone conclusion that Deming viii be

which, under present assessment in the
county, will yield about $1,000. A part
Of this money viii be used in installing
an agricultural depar tment in the high

director.
Senator c. J. LauEhren, president OF
the school board, has donated five

Deming. n. NJ, July 1O.-Mrs- L. N p
Reid. advance agent OF the OIIlclal
lecturer Of the Southern Paclflc system,
spent yesterday in Deming looking over
the Mimhres valley, gathering data ana
photographs and Photographic SHOES
for use in connection with the Illus
trated lectures, which j. W. erwin OF
fetal lecturer, expects to deliver before
eastern audiences this winter In com
pany with G. j. Laughren, r. Bedichek,
secretary Of the chamber Of commerce,
and clyde Earl Ely, editor OF the
Graphic, Mrs. Reid first visited the
east Of the city. There. the visitor
was impressed with the wholesale de-
velopments by Ralph c. Ely
Her notes showed 255 acres were pro-
ducing alfalfa. 60 acres kaftir corn, 90
acres milo maize. besides other miscel-
laneOus garden crops. At the time of
the visit a second cutting was being
taken from a 40 acre field Of alfalfa,
which produced two tons per acre.
Perhaps the thing most interesting
to Mrs Reid was the blOOded herd Of
Jersey Milk cows. and the equipment
for caring for the dairy products and
the animals producing them. The &C.
ment flOored COW barn would be
credit TO any eastern dairy and the con-
crete block milk house with its Sepa-
rator, aeTaung and refrigeratng de
vices, equipment for the Babcock test
etc, typified the latest in dairylng
science Then there were the two large
concrete silOS which furnished sllage
for the herd during the cold weather
keeping the flow Of milk uninterrupted
The five wells which pump from 1000
to 1900 gallons per minute each were
also objects Of Mrs. Reds inspection
From the extensive acres Of Mr.. Ely,
the visitor was taken to the intensive
acres OF the Rev. W. r. FOuIkS- me
evidence Of careful culture Of every
foot of the Is acres is sufficient proof
of the fact that much land IN the
Mimbres valley IS equal to many times
the amount in the rainbelt, and IS
ample for the needs of the average
farmer. Without doubt the profits TO
the ordinary individuals are much high
er on the small plots than on the large
ones.
The Rev. Mr.. Foulks. who is now the
postmaster here, came to the valley
broken in health from his earnest en-
deavors as pastor OF the Methodist
church He Smilingly admits that his
purse was also as sick as his body
therefore he did not try to farm a
large acreage. Instead he set out a
small orchard, mostly apples, peaches
and pears and cultivated the land be-
tween so that neither effort nor water
was wasted
He now has 700 trees on 10 acres. =
acres Of alfalfa. and the rest in berries
and grapes, and every vine and tree is
in the very best condition The oldest
OF these trees are five years. So i'm
.pressive was the demonstration Of this
place. that Senator has decided to de-
velOp 60 20 acre tracts along the same
line
Mrs. Reid employed a local photogra-
pher to make - slides showing scenes
in the Mimbres valley. and secured data
from the chamber OF commerce to be
used in lecturing upon these views.
Mr.. Erwin lectures to crowded houses
in New England towns, and this
publicity for the southwest IS expected
to Produce very satisfactory results.
