Seeking Land In
The Great Southwest

There never was a time in the
history of the world when there
was such a demand for land.
The movement of men to or to-
ward the cities of the world has
been given much publicity, but
it is nothing compared with the
movement of sons and daughters
of the farmers of the crowded
East and Middle West to the
known arabic lands Of the West
and Southwest. For Ell Paso to
get it's share of immigration it is
only necessary to do what Spo-
kane, Tacoma, Portland, Salt
Lake, Ogden, Los Angles, San
Diego, Yuma, Phoenix, and other
bustling centers of population
are advertising. Let the
land hungry know what we have
to offer, not to the speculator,
but to the acutual settler. Ell
APaso Times.
What is true of Ell Paso and the
Rio Grande valley is true of the
whole Southwest. Ours is still the
land of opportunity to which the
people from the congested centers
of the east turn with longing
eyes. This fall and winter will
see thousands cf them sWarning
into the Mlmbres and Mesilla
valleys and hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars will be invested
in those sections. Although small
Ter in area than the before men
toned sections, the upper ella
valley of which Duncan is the
commercial center surpasses both
in beauty and resources still
latent. 1t should not be a hard
matter to bring some of those
prospective buyers and capital
here, but it will be necessary to
inform them of the advantages
and opportunities we have to Of
fer, and this can be done only by
organized and persistent effort.

Duncan'S New Con-
crete Brick Building

The new two story building
erected by the Dunca Building
Association is practically COM
pleted, and the finishing touches
in the way of paint and varnish
are being applied by Mr.. M. l..
Fitch, the decorator, who assures
US that the building will be ready
for occupancy by Friday, the 1st
of August.
This building is the most pre-
tentious structure of it's kind that
Duncan can boast Of at present.
It's dimensions are 253 #. front
by 60 ft. depth, which gives a
room of ample proportions for
any kind of business.
The upper floor which is intend
ed for lodge proposes is divld-
ed into an ante room, prepara-
ton room, banquet room and the
lodge hall proper. 1t will be oc-
cupied and used by both the
Masons and Rights of Pythias.
The lower floor has not yet been
rented.
The plans for the building
were drawn by Mr.. S. w. Mas
sey, who was also the contractor
for it's erection, and manufac-
tured the cement brick fro m
which it is constructed.
The structure presents a pleas
ing effect, it's ,scft grey harmon
izing splendidly with it's sur
roundings, and is further en-
hanced by the color scheme, green
and red, Of its outside decora-
ton. Inside the natural wood
finish prevails.
1t is a credit to the town of
Duncan and the men who erected
it and we hope that they will
soon find an occupant for it.

Big Timber Deal
In Lower Valley

In a sale of fifty million feet
of national forest timber to the
Mt. Graham Lumber company of
Thatcher, Arizona, a contract
has been entered into which
Forester Graves says contains
effective safeguards against pos
sible monopoly. The timber is
located on Mount Graham division
of the Crook National forest and
fumes will be constructed by the
company for taking the lumber
from the mountain to Gila valley.
Under the terms of the sale
these fumes, which will form an
outlet for the Mount Graham
range timber generally, are to be
available for the use of the gov
ernment or of any other purcha-
sers from the government.
The timber contracted for con
sists chiefly of Douglas fir and
Engelmann spruce, with small
quantities Of western yellow pine,
white fir, and Mexican white
pine. The initial price of 81 per
thousand feet board measure is
subject to readjustment in ac-
cordance with market values at
the end of three years, the con-
tract period extending over six
years.
A feature of the sale is the fact
that the lumber will be used sole
" to supply the needs of the
local market, which consists in
part the agricultural districts
developed along the Gila river,
but chiefly of the large copper
mines at Globe, Clifton, Miami,
Ray and Morenci. This market
has hitherto been supplied al
most exclusively by lumber pro-
duced on the Northern Pacific
coast, shipped by steamer to San
Pedro, California, and thence in
land over the Southern Pacific.

Fully Discredited Is
Henry Lane Wilson

1t is probable that no repre-
sentative of our government
whom we have ever sent abroad
has come back so thoroughly
discredited as has ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson of Mexico.
Just how deeply he was impl1cat-
ed in the overthrow of the Made
70 government may never be
made fully known as no search
ing investigation will be made
into this phase of the question;
but there is ground to believe
that the ugly rumors which fill
tered to the surface and drifted
up from the Mexican capital re-
garding his conduct during those
Hateful ten days in February are
not without foundation. At all
events he still stands the avow-
ed friend of Huerta. and heaving
given him his personal recogni-
tion in Mexico now asks the gov
ernment and people of the Unit
ed States to do the same. But
we have another Wilson in the
spresidential chair, who has taken
exactly the opposite view, and
mo matter what he does, will GER
'tainly not recognize Huerta. It
seems as though Ambassador
Wilson during his long residence
In the Mexican capital has lost
whatever Americanism he might
have had in his make up and be-
come so thoroughly galvanized"
with the ideals and methods of
the "old regime" in that country
that he could not help but take a
hand and aid them in their trou-
bic, hoping his influence would
be sufficient to swing his own
government into line; but today
he stands, a sad and sorry figure
before the world, repudiated
alike by his government and bv
the whole American people,
whose sence of business and fair
ness has been outraged by his
conduct. Vale. Henry Lane.
Diaz, Huerta, Mondragon and
the balance of that bunch who
assassinated constitutional gov
ernment in Mexico are welcome
to him.

The MethOdiSt'S New
House of Worship

For the past few months the
Methodist people of Duncan and
vicinity have been uniting their
means and efforts by the aid of
many friends in erecting a church
which is now near completion.
The church is we'll located in
the center of town. It is beau
tiful but modest little temple.
Rev. S. M. Cheek, presiding
elder for the Arizona district, has
made a special trip to Duncan to
aid in the winding up of the
financial part of the church work.
1t is believed that the church
can be completed and all obliga-
tons met within the near future.
1t is to be hoped that this little
temple will become a blessing to
the community.
The Methodist congregation
worshiped in the new church the
first time Sunday, July 27. Tie
pastor preached the first sermon,
taking his text from Luke XIII,
1924. Subject: Are we al! going
to heaven. H." A goodly number
were in attendance.
At8:29p. m. Rev. S. M. Cheek,
the presiding elder, preached a
very interesting sermon.
A large number of Duncan peo-
pie were in attendance.
Rev. Johnston, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, and most
of his congregation worshiped
with the Methodists at both the
morning and evening services.
o. August II the two churches
of Duncan will hold a union meet
ing in the Methodist church.
Rev. R, N. Sanders, pastor of
the Methodist church at Clifton
will do the preaching.
