curtail their expenses, and while no
plan has yet been adopted, several
proposals are under consideration.

be closed the entire forenoon of each
CAV. and that all of the clerks he re-

merchants clam If this step is not
taken. they will be- forced to lay off
many old employees 10 reduce running

opened only one half day, as long IA
the strikes continues, they can retain
all of their present employees at re-
ducod wages This plan has been SER
iously considered and may be taken
up with the recently formed Calumet
Busin ,ss Mems association, so that
Uniform action may be taken. Wheth-
er or not the Red Jacket merchants

be- placed in effect in Iaurium.

step has been taken. although they adj

has been spending the present week in
the Mimbres valley inspecting the
large property owned Jointly by him
self and his associate, L. G. Fisher, Of
Chicago
To the secretary Of the chamber of
commerce, Mr.. Spalding talked very
frankly and fully of conditions that he
found while here, saying: 'I am de-
lighted with the transformation that
has been wrought everywhere in the
valley since my last visit several years
ago. The change in Deming is remark
able. I find that the Insignificant
village of my remembrance has given
way to a modern, progressive little
city with up to date business houses
and attractive homes in large num-
bers.

The great demand for residences in
Deming keeps up, and some one must
surely meet this demand or else people
coming here will have to build houses
of their own, as did a woman from
Fierro who couldn't find a house that
suited her. and said alright, I viii
build one myself" and she has already
begun the construction of a beautiful
bungalow facing the High school

tent of $4,000. They are all very
much pleased and viii develop their
property at once. Most Of the stock
holders of this company come from
Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota. J. A.
