LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT SAYS
OEM|NG FINELY LAID OUT
Charles J. RolIandet, Noted Civic
BeautIher Of Boston, Gives Some
Excellent Advice on Importance
OF BeautIAcatlon Of the Streets.

"Dcming is one Of the incest laid
out towns that have visited for
some time" said Charles J. Rol-
Iandrt, n noted eastern civic beauii
licr and landscape artist, who spent
II few days here this week. "Your
streets are nice and wide and the fact
that they run exactly north and south
and east and west is u great advan-
lagc."
"Thc main thing in building city
is the attention paid to the improve
ment of individual property. Every
powerful Impulse toward own-bean-
tification can be set in motion by

Suppose all those who dwell in n
given block-or even in given half
block fronting on the same street
get together in such an organization.
They can plan harmonious planting
system. They can lump their orders
for seeds, plant, bushes, shrubs. trees
and bulbs, and buy better and cheap
er goods. They can get the help of
experts in their planning. They can
let out the heavy work by contract
and get il done cheaper. They can,
better and cheaper working coop
eratively than they possibly could
individually, make their block bow
er of order, cleanliness and beauty.
That is much to be gained-just
having one block or one-half block
look as il should.
But every such block would be an
example from which beauty and order
would radiate in every direction.
People in the next block couldn't
live untidily very long beside beauty
aud order. The old condition would
become uncomfortable by contrast
Very quickly they. too, would clean
up and beautify.

ample would spread through n lare,

PLEASED WITH MlESSE WORK
The lumbermen were active bid
ders for the state land and lost the

lion was u concession to their desires
TO take part in the larger develop
ment of this section. They have ex-
pressed themselves as very much
pleased with the future possibilities
Of this section, after II careful ex-
animation of every part of the val

declared that Deming and the MINI

Mr.. Miessc.

II. W. Terman, of Chicago, was in
the city with Mr.. Bailey, and he
agrees with them that the develop

he, that the capitalists entering this
field have done so on an assurance
"f falr play. These men of affairs
could have just as freely entered

The advice Of Mr.. Bailey and Mr..

The land is southeast Of the Mess,
tract and beigns about eighteen mile
from Deming. II adjoins 10000
acres already held by the interests
mentioned. The price was $G.10 an
acre, II remarkably high price. es-
pecinlly considering the fact tina,
only about fifty per cent of it is in
the proven shallow water belt.
The bidding was spirited from the
start, two Duluth, Mimi, millionaire
lumbcrmcn, j. W. Irwin and W. II,
Cook, offering on final bid within
five cents of the amount an acre
which was paid. They dropped ouI
only because they were recent ar
rivals and not SO well acquainted
with the character of the land as
were their successful opponents.
SMALL TRACTS SOLD
Besides the large block, the follow
ing land was sold ia scattered
tracts: Alex Doran, $40 acres; Hal
Kerr, 1887 acres; Albert Lindaucr,

settlers. The interests concerned
have been watching the Nlimbres

been introduced to the section by
@. NJ. Otis of Los Angeles, Nor
wcgian vice-consul.
SEEKING INVESTMENTS
The Duluth lumber kings came to
the valley only last week with c. E.
Miesse, the well known booster and
Mimbres Valley developer. They will
probably seek other land investments,
us they express themselves as much
pleased with conditions here.
LAND COMMISSION PLEASED
State Land Commissioner r. p.
Ervien was present, but the sale was
conducted by his assistant, Frederick
Mueller. Assistant Attorney General
Harry Clancy was also present. Mr..
Ervien expressed great satisfaction,
and stated that he hardly expected
the land to sell for so great a price.

See. Navy Men Hold Vera Cruz.

Families. about To move from
eastern points to Dcming or those
recently arrived, have had some fear
of trouble because of the proximity
of Luna county to Old Mexico. aud
because Of the Mexican population
north of the boundary. Fortunately
for Deming, it is practically an all
American community, there being
only thiriy-iivr Mexican voters reg
islcrcd here, and these all loyal,
though humble citizens of the United
States.
WHERE DEMING Is
Deming is forty-tive miles from the
border which is guarded by United
States troopers. the number of which
will be increased. However, prac-
tically all the country directly south
Of Luna county is grazing land over
which the cattle of large American
companies roamed before the revo-
luton, practically depopulated the
land.
