A united movement on the part OF

would greatly improve its looks, but
the improvement in one section and
the neglect of another does not add
to the general appearance. We
have to date a large amount OF

there and unless you decide to make
improvements now it will be too

BEST CITY IN NEW MEXICO
Tells Why Railroads Sought
Route Through Deming
to Coast.

Engineers have been surveying
the site near the former Santa fe
round house at Deming and with
the prospects of new depot for
the FL Paso 4 Southwestern. 1t is
practically certain that Deming will
become a division point. The eXten-
sion of the +. =. & $. W. Compa-
ny's line from Whitewater into the
Burro Mountains, where certain in
terests are developing that min
ing district, will make Deming the
center of the company's activity in
the near future.
Deming is the railroad center and
the largest and best city between
FL Paso and Tucson. This route is
good, the grade level, and the eli
mate ideal the year round.
The location and environments of
Deming will make it one of the best
cities in New Mexico. Perhaps the
far-reaching and natural cause is
the fact that the Southern Pacific
railroad trayerses the only due east
and west route through the state,
having a natural pass via Yuma. The
heavy mountain range through the
west part of the state prohibits easy
access for any kind of roads, and
the high altitude in these mountains
makes cold winters. snow and snow
drifts. All the other railroads tray
erse the state from the north and
the northeast and center at FL PaSo,
becoming feeders "a the Southern
Pacific.
Deming enjoys the best railroad
facilities of any city in New Mexico,
having three lines, the Santa Fe,
Southern Pacific and the Fl Paso &
Southwestern. This means quick
hauls to distant markets that will
consume all that can he raised in
the whole of the valley n! hand

''N tAdltt VI
New Mexico College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts spent practically
the whole of Tuesday in Deming and
was visited by a large number of
Mimbres Valley farmers. A passen.
ger coach made "A very comfortable
lecture room, while the baggage
coach attached contained the many
interesting exhibits used to illus

following persons composed the party
with the demonstration train:

MANY INTERESTING SUBJECTS.
Fruit growing, vegetable growing,
stock raising and irrigation matters
were taken up. All day long the
members of the faculty stood near
the exhibits and answered such
questions as the farmers and their
wives cared to ask. The concensus
of opinion was to the effect that
there never had been more sue.
cessful and interesting exhibit.
A FRUIT CENTER.
Prof. j. Rigney declared great
future for the Mimbres Valley ex-
isted as IA fruit producing section
and urged the proper selection and
care of fruit trees. He recommends
practically the same varieties as
were urged by Stark Forgy, repre-
sentative of the Stark Brothers Nur-
sery and Orchard Co., in an inter-
view which was published in a recent
issue of the GRAPHIC.
CHOOSE MALES.
Prof. Luther Foster brought out
forcibly the necessity of selecting
animals of good blood for the small
farm especially. Stock might be
bred up rapidly by supplying thor
oughbred males, he remarked. He
applied the same principles to poul-
try raising AS well, and urged the
necessity Of both to the successful
operation of the irrigated farm.
Dairying too is important. he said.
FORAGE CROPS AND SlLOS.
j. ID. Tnsley, Santa Fe r. r. Ag-
riculturist. spoke on the subject of
field or forage crops. The ease
with which milo maize, COW peas
and kafhr corn could be grown in
the Mimbres Valley was brought to
the attention of those present. The
feeding of these to stock on the
farm was urged by H. c. McCowen,
who spoke on silos and ensilage.
Mr.. McCowen declared the silo is
proving the salvation of the farm.

The county salaries bill is again

the measure and it is expected that
Governor Mcdonald will veto it
when it comes to him. A report
says the executive is himself prepar-

suspension of rules the house passed
a resolution protesting against the
proposed deciding of Pueblo Indian
land to the government for twenty
five years. The legislators say the
Pueblos always have been citizens
and untaxed by the state, but will
no longer be privileged. The ques-
ton was raised shortly after a de-

could not be- held as wards of the

DEAR SIR; Replying to your IA
vor of the 10Th inst. respecting
the rates on oil from producing

Immediately upon receipt of com
plaint filed with us, with your favor
of the 18th inst, in this connection,
our rate department began the
preparation Of schedule of all
rates On the commodity in question
affecting Drming, and il is expect.
ed that the matter will bc in shape
within a few days to be submitted
10 the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, rs owing to the Importance
Of the matter involved il has been
deemed advisable 10 handle this
case separately with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, for which
reason il was not included in the
general complaint which we filed a
few days ago affecting the entire
State of New Mexico, Deming he.
ing prominently featured therein
This latter complaint, as you may
have observed by press dispatches,
involves practically all interstate
rates from and to Kansas City, St.
Louis, Chicago and other points in
termcdiatr Herewith and east there
of, and it has been requested that
an early hearing he had in the mat
ter before the full Interstate Com
merce Commission, at which time
doubtless the oil matter will also be
taken into consideration.
We shall, however, in the first in
stance, submit the question to the
Southern Pacific and Santa Fc traf-
iic officials and endeavor to have the
classification Of the crude oil rate
amended to include rates on engine
fuel, gasoline, naphtha, solar oil, dis
tillate, or in other words, the oils
Of a low flash, and in the event that
the railroads do not adopt our sug-
gestlon or recommendation in the
matter, it will then be- necessary for
the matter to be- submitted to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
for arbitration.
You may rest assured that we will
follow the matter to a conclusion,
and keep you advised as to the prog
ress thereof.
Yours very truly,
