ultimate success of mediation" said
DR.. Romulo Suarez Naon. minister
from Argentina, when he arrived
here at 1890 o'clock today after con-
ferences in Washington with Xfesi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
Minister Naon predicted that nego-
tiations would be continued at least
another two weeks.
81 am confident" Minister Naon
added, land optimistic, which I have
always been. While regard tho diff
as serious there are always difficulties
in mediation, and it is the duty Of
mediators always to find q way to
overcome them SO peace may be &C
complished."

mediation at least would resolve the
difficulties between the United States

President Wilson's personal explana-
ton of why the United States stands
sQuarely on the position outlined in the

gates. Although all officials were con-
sistently silent on what took place at
last nights long White House confer
ence it was known that the mediator
started for Niagara Falls apparently
much impressed with the force OF the
presidents views.
President Wilson is understood to
have explained at length why he il
convinced that peace can come out Of
the Mexican trouble only by the ee-
tn b!iehment OF q provisional govern
r.ent fully approved by the constitu-
tionalists, and why. in his opinion. q
so-called neutral president would
only prolong the bloodshed.
President Wilson authorized this
brief statement concerning his confer
ence last night with Minister Naon:
The entire Mexican question was
discussed and as a result the outlook is
more hopeful"

Washington--Clearing house GER
tihcates issued in large cities in the
United States after the outbreak Of
the war have been reduced greatly in
amount, according to statement by
Controller Of the Currency Williams.
"The reports coming to the con-

the country" said the statement,
"indicate an emphaic relaxation Of
financial tension, an inceasing sup
ply Of loanable funds and steady and
uninterrupted progress toward norm
al conditions.
"In New York the clearing house
loan certificates already have been
materially reduced and are being
gradually retired. st. Louis still

RANGE CATTLE WILL Be FAN1NED
BY COMPANY on MEsG LANDS
First Drawing for Town Lots In
Mlssss Brings Out Large Crowd
Monday Evening and Selling was
Spirited; TownsIts Opens 22d Inst.

A cattle feeding company Is the
latest innovation to be introduced on
the ,Miesse lands. The prime movers
of the new enterprise are c. E. Miles,
Sc, Clarence Hon and O. Z. Bailey.
These three and several well-known
Eastern capitalists are financing the
organization which figures on fatten-
ing 5000 steers during the coming
year. This is the initial attempt to
coordinate Luna county's two great
industries--cattle raising on the
ranges and farming in the Mimbres
Valley. It is stated that several
prominent ranchmen have offered the
entire product Of their ranches to be
finished on the Miesse tract for East
em markets. The range cattle Of this
section are first class stock Of the
white face variety and they have
been sought at the stock yards as
feeders by farmers Of the middle
west. The idea Of raising them and
finishing them right here, originated
with Mr.. Miesse.
II is probable that the new in
dustry will not reach its maximum
Of output until the series Of silos now
being projected are completed. At
the present time there is an abund-
ance Of feed on the Miesse lands. but
this cannot be utilized economically
unless turned into silage. The feed
ing of cattle on the tract will offer
an excellent market for the farmers
who have recently purchased lands
there.
The first drawing for lots in the
town Of Miesse was held Monday
evening in the Offices Of the townsite
company in the Mahoney building. A
large number of persons were pres
ent and a large number Of lots were
drawn. The townsite will be formally
opened November 22 when barbe-
cue, sports, and band concert will be
held. A special train will be run
from Deming the day Of the SALE
leaving at 0 o'clock in the morning.
Special low fare is quoted. There
seems to be an eagerness on the part
Of local citizens to obtain the lots
at the present low prices.
The new town is about sixteen
miles from Deming and seventy-two
miles from FL Paso. II is on the
Southern Pacific and centrally locat-
ed for a shipping point for the great
development that has characterised
that part Of the valley. The railroad
company has ordered a depot and
stock pens for the town and in ad'
dition to the business houses there
several others are projected.
