tions of the farmers.
A SERIOUS PROBLEM.


A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
The problem presented is a serious
one and demands the earnest atten.
ton of all those who have property
interests in this section. The money
thus offered is not available for any
other purpose for the simple reason
that no other matter is so pressing
as the one presented now.
WHAT HAVE YOU TO GAIN?
The Mimbres Valley and Deming
have led in almost every field of
civic enterprise except the securing
to its citizens of the service that
means the most to their ultimate
success. Stop and think of the
money YOU have lost because you
did not understand a certain phase
of the complicated irrigation ques-
tion, the soil. the seasons or the
markets?
MUST DEMlNG FOLLOW?
Roswell pays $500 for just this
service proposed and there is not a
single enterprising section of the
irrigated West that has not availed
itself of the advantages suggested.
$40, 600 a year is not an uncommon
salary for horticultural experts in
some sections of the Northwest.
With the assistance offered is there
any good reason why the guesswork
system should be continued to the
great detriment of the whole Sec
tion?
GET TOGETHER.
All that Deming has accomplished
has been consummated by co.opera.
tion-"get together" What DEM
ing now enjoys can be held only by
continuing the policies that have
proved themselves so satisfactory.
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1913-01-31

The citizens of Deming and the
Mimbres Valley never have had a
more important matter before them
than the proposed securing Of the
service of an agricultural expert.
Practically all the money is avail
able for paying an adequate salary
except $3.50 which the farmers must
raise themselves. AT the meeting
of the board of directors of the
Deming Chamber of Commerce last
Wednesday the matter was taken up
again and the report of the commit
tee appointed to confer with the
Oil Buyers Association received.
The committee had practically moth
ing to report except the meeting of
all the farmers of the valley sched.
uled for ! o'clock tomorrow after
noon at the county court house,
when the matter will again be iaken
up. The committee was instructed
to finish its work.
NATION WIDE MOVEMENT.
The movement for scientific help
ers for farmers, especially in the
irrigated regions, is nation wide.
The waste of resources due to i'm
proper agricultural methods have
caused the grain exchanges of the
country to take up the matter and
to offer financial assistance to each
county in the United States, provid-
ing the citizens are willing To do
something to help themselves. The
amount offered each county is 81 ,0OO
the first year, The department of
agriculture agrees to assume the
payment of 81 900 after the first
year. The Dcming Chamber of
Commerce offers $3.50 in addition to
this, realizing that the success of
city depends largely on the opera.

PORT COLUMBUS
ORDERED CLOSED
Large Cattle Interests of Mexico
Allege Their Cattle Were
Stolen
APPEARANCE OF FRAME-UP
Colorado Stockmen Arrested,
Charged With Receiving
Stock.

A recommendation has been made
to close Columbus as a port of en-
try by Collector A. l.. Sharp as the
result of petition presented to him
by the ranchers of chihuahua and
Sonora.
The f. X. Warren Cattle Co.,
Corralitos Cattle Co., and the Pa.
Tomas Land and Cattle Co. Wednes.
day filed replevin suit here to re.
cover ninety-three head of cattle
before a justice of the peace at
Columbus and deposited $4O0. 900
replevin bond in FL Paso and Dem
ing banks.
FOSTER AND DAVIS ARRESTED.
The cattle owners allege that
G. A. Foster and George Davis con-
tracted with George Cooper, who
resides across the line, to deliver
500 head of Mexican cattle at Col
umbus. They assert that l75 were
actually delivered and the cattle,
were consigned to ?. A. Hilliard of
this city. Mr.. Hilliard disclaims all
connections with Mr.. Foster and
Davis. and the latter were arrested
and bouad over to the grand jury
under bond of $500 each Wednesday
at Columbus. The men were
charged with receiving stolen prop
erty.
DECLARE MEN ARE HONEST.
According to letters received by
the First State Bank here Mr.. Davis
and Mr.. Foster are well known
stockmen of Canon City. Colorado.
The First National Bank and Fre-
mont County National Bank of that
city are sponsors for the honesty of
the two men accused.
ALL A FRAME-UP?
According to local cattlemen the
whole scheme is a frame-up by the
large cattle interests of Mexico to
close the port of Columbus against
future importations because it is
to their advantage to keep the
cattle suath of the line until such
tirne as they are ready to handle
them. when they will, it is asserted,
petition for the reopening of the
port. Certainly it would be a great
injustice against the smaller ranch
ers to force them to enter their
stock at Ell Paso.
PAID OWNERS HERE.
There seems little doubt but that
George Cooper, who delivered the
stock. is playing above board, as he
paid the owners in Deming on jan
ury II from funds on deposit in the
local banks.
SMALL GROUNDS FOR ACTION.
Ted Haughton, general manager
of the Corralitos Cattle Company,
Mr.. Stevenson. vice-president and
general manager, of the Palomas
Co., and AL. Ash. deputy customs
collector, were in the city Wednes-
day to file the replevin suit to re-
cover the ninety-three head of cat
tie which they allege were stolen.
Local people who attended the hear
ing Of the accused men declare that
the cattle companies only claimed
one COW was rebranded and the
manager of one Of the companies ad-
mitted that he drove a bunch Of re-
branded cattle over the line with
out entering them. II is said the OBJ
ject Of this was to mix them with
the cattle properly entered by Mr..
Davis and Mr.. Foster. that ground
for some action might be had.

SILVER AVENUE A BOULEVARD

AT recent meeting of the board
of directors of the Chamber of
Commerce the matter of a park sys-
tenn for Deming was discussed. Def
mite action was taken looking
toward the immediate development
of the plans which were outlined
some months ago.
SYSTEMATIC WORK.
A landscape gardener will be en-
pl0yed at once to draw plans after
the general idea mentioned before,
and which embrace some of the fol-
lowing features: A glass pumping
house on an island in the midst of
an SO-foot lake to be reached by q
rustic bridge just in front of the
union depot in the grounds previ-
ously selected; these grounds to be
laid out and planted to native shrubs
and trees, including palms to be
furnished by the Southern Pacific
railroad: water from the demonstra-
ton well to be pumped up Silver
avenue to water the parking which
will be placed in the center and ex-
tending to the court house; the
court house grounds to be parked
much the same way AS the one be-
fore the depot.
A BEAUTIFUL BOULEVARD.
When this work is finished, Silver
avenue will be a boulevard of which
any city may be proud and which
will be visible from the transconti-
mental trains and to visitors. All
the water can be furnished from
the demonstration well and will be
conducted away by the Deming Ice
and Electric Co. without charge.
The demonstration well is equipped
with an American turbine pump
seldom used except IN special
occasions. Its use for watering a
park system would be a most con-
vincing way of displaying to visit.
ors the great amount of water that
can be obtained from single well
in the Nj; bres Valley.

and it is Unlikely That Mimbres Valley Will be Content
With Guesswork System.

EXCELLENT PROGRESS.

The voluntary subscription OF
stock has reached 81 800 AMI it i:
thought that no difficulty will be
found in raising the balance of the
$1,000 needed to buy the plant. The
fact is the funds must be raised
so, after the manner of Deming and
Mimbres Valley enterprise, it vii
shortly be Forthcoming.
THAT MIMBRES SPIRIT.
1t is up to every citizen of this
section to get out and lend the in
fiuence Of his presence to the gath
ering to the end that the Mimbre'
Valley spirit will rise up and con
found each reactionary whi
augurs i'll for the enterprise

there will be another slump in tha
