USING THE VERTICAL DRAINS
Whether They Work Successfully or
Not Depends Largely on Under

Vertical drains can often be used
where the cost Of tiling is prohibitive
for small amount of land. Wheth-

pends largely on the underground wa

the impervious sheet above is pierced.
This is not often the case when the
drain is carried to as low a water

SURPRISED At development

Col. W. X. Edison, general mana
ger of the Alamogordo Improv vement
Company and president of the
Alamogordo Commercial Club, and C.
H. Mitchell, president Of the First
National Bank and the Alamo State
Bank. of Alamogordo, arrived in
Deming Tuesday, and imbibed the
booster spirit from its fountain head.
Col. Edison and Mr.. Mitchell made
n thorough inspection of the Miesse
and Spalding development and of
many small plants scattered over
the valley. They left Wednesday,
Mr. Mitchell for Arizona points, and
Col. Edison for home.
While in Deming the visitors were
shown every attention and every fa-
cility was placed at their disposal to
see the farming operations Of the val
ley. They were so impressed with the
tremendous agricultural activity, and
declared that, the citizens of this
section have satisfactorily worked
out the problems Of irrigation by the
pumping method. Many Of the meth
ods will be adapted by the Alamo
gordo developers, tliev said, who will
be able to take advantage Of the
costly experimenting which was
done here at the inception Of the
enterprise.
Alamogordo's agricultural possib-
ilities have been neglected, but,
through the inspiration of the sue
cessful Mimbres Valley developers.
it seems on the eve of a great activ-
ity in this line. State Senator c. j.
Laughren, W. E. Holt, James W. Dy-
mond, and l.. A. Thompson visited
Alamogordo two weeks ago on the
invitation of the commercial club of
that city and, after looking over the
valley, advised the citizens that they
had possibilities, but little inferior to
The great Mimbres Valley.

BIG CATTLEMAN RETURNS
FROM LONG TRIP TO MEXICO

J. o. Fielding, the San Simon
stockman, has just returned from
Mexico, and he tells Of most strenu-
GUS times during his two months
stay down there.
Fielding crossed the border Christ
mas day and had n talk with
"Pancho" Villa, who gave him a
pass, which supposedly was good in
rebel territory, with all rebels. He
went into Chihuahua and Sonora,
mostly in the Mormon colonies buy
ing fat cattle, which were fine, ac-
cording to Mr.. Fielding, but he could
not give the same opinion of the
rebels that he encountered. Villas
pass, which would be a guarantee in
most civilized countries, was ignored
by the rebels. The horses of himself
and partner were stolen. his little
bunch Of 500 head Of cattle were
raided and scattered repeatedly by
rebel bands, and the local "jefes"
refused bluntly to examine his pass.
After gathering the herd together
numerous times, Fielding managed to
get the cattle over the line, paying a
duty to the Constitutionalist customs
officers.
Mr.. Fielding says hat the "colon-
les" of Diaz and Juarez are totally
destroyed. Colonia Dublan is intact,
but, excepting about 10 Mormon ia
miles, the settlement is occupied by
Mexican rebels. Fielding was n
cantain in the Mexican army under
Madero, before the latter's ascendan-
cy to the presidency. He was in the
battles Of Casas Grandes and Juarez,
and was a personal friend Of the
dead nresident. of Pascual and Jose
Orozco, Castillo, Garibaldi, the
italian adventurer. and Mcdonald OF
tn" American legion. Fielding left
here Thursday night for Fl Paso on
a business trip.

S"iration on the forehead of the
figure, which he said was the oil
coming out of the machinery while
one old gentlman said il was mod
ern invention of Edison, run by elec-
tricity. The pretty girls smiled aud
smirked ut the figure, but their beau
,iful charms failed to draw his wax

that 1900 will take care of n local
semi professional team throughout
The season. providing that the gate
rcccipts are normal. Besides the
patronage of local fans il is certain
that the employees Of the Chino Cop
per Company, many citizens of Silver
City, and III Paso would attend the
games here, since Deming is the
midway point and not far from any
- The places named. The season
will open in May. and il Drming
jnins the League, il will be- possible
10 ve, one or perhaps two games here
each week.
II would be- pleasant to have u
Iennani winning team here. but aside
from the sport viewpoint, there is n
real business reason why the city
should place II team in the field.
For one thing the reports of the
games are carried in the papers Of
two states. and this is the cheapest
kind If advertising. Then again, by
letting the people in from the conn
try aud surrounding towns the
merchants would enjoy an increased
trade which is now going to other
points. This trade il well worth
looking after since il comes from
well paid employees Of corporations.
