The following article was publish
ed in the August number Ut Motor
Field aud was written by represen-
tative Of that publication who spent
several weeks in this section this
sumner.
II is morally certain that no person
can visit Dening, the commercial
center OF the great Mimbres Valley,
and not gain an inspiration by what
has been accomplished there during
the past four years. Il has sprung
from country village to u prosper
Gus city with more genuine progress
and enthusiasm to the square inch
than any other 1000 city in America.
II is the only city in the Sunshine
state where public sentiment is so
thoroughly united, and community
spirit 50 perfectly fostered that the
people vote unanimously to tax them
selves for public improvements. II
is certainly delight to the Eastern
err to find in Dsming city with ev-
cry modern convenience.
The reclamation Of this great val
ley, or rather u uniformly level plain
comprising better than 100000 acres,
Is u story that is Of intense interest
to the human race. A single COM
pany is putting under development by
means Of pumps alone, 100000 acres.
Another syndicate has already de-
veloped nearly 10000 acres, and still
another syndicate is organizing for
the development of 100000 acres,
and has already purchased from the
state $4,000 acres. Many smaller
development companies are putting
land in perfect state Of cultivation.
One firm is developing Immediately
south Of the city about forty 40-acre
farms, putting in readiness for the
purchaser to Immediately occupy as
soon as home can be erected.
Not long ago committee Of the
most eminent medical men Of Europe
was appointed to study the climates
of the world with regard to their
beneficial effect upon healthseekers.
This body of experts, after nine
months of travel and investigation,
reported to the Medical Congress Of
France. agreeing unanimously that
the peculiar climate of New Mexico
and Arizona made these sections the
most favorable in the world.
ID is somewhat ridiculous fact
that good many people of the North
and East believe that the trouble they
are now having in Old Mexico makes
il dangerous to visit this region at
this time, but such an idea is without
Foundation of fact. rs the residents
of the Mimbres Valley know about as
little concerning the Mexican trouble
rs those who live in New York or
Boston, and il is just as safe here as
il is there. This matter is referred
to because Of the great number Of
inquiries that come to the secretary
of the chamber Of comercc, asking
if il is really safe to come down here
at this time.
A short distance northwest Of the
Mimbres Valley is the ella National
forest. the Switzerland of America.
and the place that inspires so many
writer's to use the expression "See
America First" Hunting big or lit
tie game or fishing may here be in
dnlged in to the hearts content. and
in u climate that makes one feel
young again. All Of tbs charming
country comes within days auto
mobile trip from Deming.
Three transcontinental automobile
routes pass directly through Deming.
Time or season make no difference
