Held Farewell Dinner at Black Cat

and Celebrated
TOAsTS TO MIMBRES VALLEY

The members of the MicSsc party
gathered Sunday evening in one of
the private dining rooms of the Black
Cat Cafe for farewell dinner The
menu was said 10 be- regular. "Ev.
crything to eat aud drink" i. the
legend the card bears aud il is sup.
posed that ~ many good fellows
could not have gathered without tax
inc in the whole show.
"FLOW OF SOUL"
Edward O'Connor was the toast
master, self-appointcd, it is alleged
who presided at the board. All pre-,
ent responded to toasts of the Va
riety called by the envious. "booStrr,"
aud the Mimbres Valley was again
interviewer with the poetry of word,
in landatory Symposium.
LAND MUST PRODUCE
The fact that all present had ne.
quired all the land Mr.. Micssc would
consent to sell adds touch Of sin.
rerly To what Is commonly called
after dinner nolhings. II is evi,lcnl
that the lO.OOO.arrr tract will not
last more than three or four months
1T the longest at the rate II is being
sold To the land hungry homrsrck
rrs. The fact tina, immediate resi-
dencr on the land j. required places
the tract beyond the reach Of the
Speculalor.
ALL ARE BOOSTERS
II is Mr, Miesse's intention to make
the town of MesSe on the Southern
Pacific an ideal social center a. well
as shipping point. II is being laid
out with great care. Small tracts
will be sold adjoining the townsitc
for the city farmers. A hotel prob
ably will be erected for the convcn-

HOME PLOT COMPANY
BEGINS OPERATIONS
California irrigation Piping System
will be Installed TO Save Wa.
ter and Labor
COMPLETE PUMPING PLANTS
g. B. TO- and 20-Acre Tracts Fully
Developed and Houses Erect
ed Are Being Sold

STAT" Senator {. j. l.anghrcn is pres
ldenl, has begun the work of clear.
lng the J. - 10 and 20-acre tracts
"n which J. /. and 5-room houses
viii be erected and pumping plants
installed. The land on which the de-
velopmcni work is being done il 10.
Gated from one 10 two miles from
The Court House or High School.
THE EQUIPMENT
The houses will all be- of the Span
lNh type, 81 common in California,
finished inside and out after the mis-.
sion idea. The walls will be of poured
concrete blocks, eight inches in thick
ness, plastered on the inside and peb-
Bile dashed on the outside. The liy.
Ing room will have II fire place and
rlcctrolier. Bath room will be
"puippcd with toilet. lavatory and
tub. \ sink, cupboard and hct water
boiler will be placed in the kitchen
and tit" latter connected with the
bath room. The house will be wired
Tor telephone and electrict lights.
Water ample for domestic PURPOSES
will he drawn from special gravity
tank.
~ MPlNG PLANT
The pumping plant will be adequate
to irrigate the entire acreage the well
being driven to II sufficient depth to
develop the required amount of wa
ter. American Well Works pumps,
driven by motors, will be installed.
In order that the pumping may BE-
done largely at night, to take ad.
vantage of a cheaper rate for cleo
tricity, n l20,O0O-gallon tank will be-
furnished for the 20.acre tracts and
Slaallcr tanks for the lesser acreage.
The well will be- walled with heavy
concrete to water and screened with
slotted screening through the strat
UNI The tract will be fenced with
rabbit tight wire stretched on con-
crete posts and the land cleared and
plowed.
NEW IRRIGATION IDEA
Another feature of the develop
men, is the installation of q piping
system for irrigating the land. A
pipe will be laid across the tract
sixteen inches under the surface and
hydrants connected so that the water
will not be exposed in the open in
bitches to evaporate. In this way u
considerable saving in operating ex-
penses can be made and the wading
in water during the irrigation process
done away with.
on EASY PAYMENTS
The intention of the company, as
expressed by Mr.. Iaughren, is tC
equip the tract with all the neces.
saries to opcrating on an economical
hasis aud the house with all the mod
eru convcniences demanded by the
most cxnctmg housewife. The fact
that these plots are offered on easy
payments no doub, will add to Their
attrartiyenesS among the homeseek'
en-.

TO BE SOLD THIS YEAR

Some idea of the rapidity of this
development may be gained from MIR.
Miesses own words:
I'VE mean to have this entire tract
developed and sold TO actual farm
ers, or at least occupied by actual
farmers, within twelve months | say
occupied by farmers because some
of the people we sell TO will rent the
land out, and others will employ ey-
perienced orchardists to plant or
chards and bring them into bearing
before taking possession Of the land.
We have one 5000 Rumeley tractor
now ON the job building roads, eight
miles of which have been constructed
in the last month. We purchased II

PERFECT WATER CONDITIONS
The first we'll ON the tract was
completed Saturday aud tested out
loo gallons of water per minute at
II lift of iifty-cieht feet. The well
is Just 100 feet in depth and con
talns twenty eight feet of splendid
bearing material. The ca.
pacity of this well is pleasant sur.
PRISE rs the company was proceeding
on the basis of 1000 gallon per min.
ute wells. As the strata are So uni
form over the entire tract, il is quite
certain that instead of having To 60
to depth of $50 feet as was antici-
patcd when the project was begun,
these wells will have to BIZ only 100
or l25 feet in depth. Test holes have
been so distributed over the tract a.
to prove the entire area, and thus
ten thousand acres of tributary ter
ritory to Deming is opened up for
forty-acre farms; or, in other words,
II means population of l,20O people
in region which only short time
ago was considered merely grazing
land.
