ONE Of THE BIGGEST SEASONS
EVER KNOWN FOR CAHlEMEN
Recent Abundant Rainfall Mas Put
Ranges In Fine Condition and
Prominent Stockmen are Hopeful
for Successful Year In Southwest.

During the past six weeks nine
inches of rain has fallen in this Sec
ton and the farmers and stockmen
are rejoicing. The ranges are in fine
shape and the crops will easily get
through the season with but little
more irrigation.
Cattle business is booming in the
Lordsburg district and there will be
$4,000 head of cattle shipped from
that section this year. John 7. Nc
Cabe, president of the First National
bank of Lordsburg was here with
his family ON brief visit and he
said that conditions were never bet
ter fo prosperous year in this sec
ton of the Southwest and that eat
ilemen were getting a good price for
their cattle.
J. b. Manly of Denver, Colo, one
of the veteran stockmen of the
Southwest was visitor in the city
this week and he said, "While this
is the quiet season for the stock bus
mess and there is at present little
movement Of cattle or sheep, ] have
never seen brighter outlook for the
live stock industry in the Southwest
and especially in New Mexico than
this one before us now"
Mr.. Manly knows the business
from practical experience in all its
branches and whose life study has
been conditions in the Southwest,
He declares that in spite of the pres
eni quiet times and in spite of the fact
that financial conditions are not yet
what they should be, that the stock
industry of New Mexico and western
Texas is due for its very biggest
year. Mr. Manly will spend several
weeks in New Mexico sizing up con-
ditions throughout the state.

PROPOSE ROAD RACE
TO Be RUN SEPT. q
Success Of Event Last Year Enceur.
aged Local Motor Enthusiasts
10 Undertake New Exploit.
WOULD THROW ENTRIES OPEN
Proposed Course Would be Over Dem
Ing-SllvG clty-Lordsburp Road,
Which Is In Good Condition.

Tentative plans are being made fol
a road race over the Deming Silver
City-LOrdsburg road, TO be held on
or about September "a. DR.. X. C.
Hoffman, president of the Demine
Automobile Association and a men,
ber Of the Luna County Road Board
will have charge of the arrangements.
The race last year. although gotten
up on rather short notice, was a de-
cided success, and automobile enthu-
siasts are sure that one of the most
interesting races that could be held
anywhere in America could be given
here. The course is about $50 miles
long and covers, for the most part,
very good roads, but with average
conditions and some pretty stiff
grades in the mountain sections near
Silver City. The race last year was
run without stripping the cars. This
was because there was little time to
place the ears in really good condi-
tion for the run. BY beginning now.
however, this difficulty can be elm
mated.
Last year Fred Sherman in a Ford
touring ear won first money, Emmett
Connolly in n Chalmers, second. and
Sloss in u REQ, third. The run was
made in record time between here
and Silver City and without mishap,
proving that a great deal Of interest
,enters in the sport among local mo-
.orists.
II is proposed this year to hold the
meet with not less than ten entries,
and to give everyone meeting the
anywhere, the opportunity
10 enter. The entrance fee will be
about 500, and the garages vii put
up about the same amount apiece.
This will give not less than 1000
'or first money and not less than
800 for second money. The costs,
except to the individuals, of conduct
ny the race will be practically moth
ng.
