one Of the most gigantic
spectacles shown in Deming when
'Test We Forget" the first Of four
Metro features contracted by Mr..
Carragien last week at total cost
Of 81 400, win be shown. This is
a story Of the war and deals with
the sinking Of the Lusitania, ID the
reproduction Of which one Of the
most ambitious feats Of photography
is attained. A giant vessel, an ex-
act reproduction Of the Lusitania, is
torpedoed and sunk, with 5000 peo-
pie on board. Rita Jolivet, the star
in "Lest We Forget" was a passeng-
er on the Lusitania when that vesSai

and plays her role with a realism
that is nothing short Of that terrible
experience could give. Lest We

VACCNATED 5000
AGAINST SMALLPOX
Rush Orders BY City Health Depart
ment Last Friday Swampod Every
Doctors Office IN DsmIng.
ONLY FOUR CASES REPORTED.
But City Takes No Chance Of Spread
Of Infection, and Danger Is Now
Definitely Averted.

The determination Of the city Of
Deming to cooperate with the army
authorities and avoid any chance Of
epidemic sickness here that might
spread to the camp, was evidenced in
a startling way last Friday in a call
from the city health department for
every person in the city not having
a smallpox vaccination certificate less
than a year old to be vaccinated at
once. The notice gave only "a hours
grace TO the unvaccinated, and there
was a rush for the various doctors
offices that must have given those
worthy gentlemen quite a fright for
a moment. To help out in the rush
army surgeons were brought in and
given headquarters in the police sta
ton, and at this place alone over
l,2OO persons were yaccinated up 10
Tuesday, when the rush was about
over. Several hundred remain to be
attended to yet, however, in the opin-
ion Of Health Officer Chapman, al
though total right around the g.
600 mark we're vaccinated altogeth-
er Four thousand certificates print
ed at the Graphic office were ex-
hausted Saturday and 5000 more,
distributed among the various doe
tors, barely took care Of the demand.
This fact shows pretty well that the
present population Of Deming is very
close to il not over the 10000 mark,
for a good percentage Of the people
undoubtedly could show certificates
dated within a year.
The appearance Of four eases Of
smallpox in the city was The immec
diate occasion Of the rush order BY
the health department. One of these
cases has since been dismissed as
cured and the others are under strict
quarantine. The danger Of their
spreading is believed by Mr.. Chap
man to be practically negligible after
the thorough precautions taken.
The same rush was on at Camp
Cody, with the difference that it be-
gan earlier and was not conducted
under such hurry-up conditions. No
cases have appeared in the camp, so
far as we can learn. In both camp
and town the vaccinations seem to
have been well handled, no cases Of
the old-time troubles that made vac
cination little less to be dreaded than
smallpox having been reported.

San Antoine Holds Up ths Soldiers

Mrs. +. Mckinley returned Sunday
from a visit with her daughter, Mrs.
+. A. Rutherford, at Leon Springs,
Texas. Leon Springs is near San
Antonio and Mrs. Mckinley had a
chance while stopping over in the
latter place to compare conditions
with those at Demng. There are
about a hundred thousand soldiers at
Fort Sam Houston, much less in pro-
portion to the population than at
Deming, so that prOpOrtionately the
city is much less crowded than here
here, but living rates have advanced
PROFESSIONALLY, and the natives are
getting theirs" while the getting is
good, regardless Of what patriotism
might dictate. Very ordinary rooms
at very ordinary hotels bring from
three to seven dollars a night, and at
the eating houses it is impossible ia
get any service at a price the ordin-
ary person can afford. The soldiers
who are to fight the battles Of these
pirates are regarded as legitimate
prey by everyone with anything tC
sell, as they are, in fact, in almost
every cantOnment city except Dem.
ing.

Good BIN al the COdy.

Sol Carragien, manager Of the
Cody, Deming's theatre beautiful,
promises for next week one Of the
best bills ever presented here. The
fact that some Of the acts are car
rying their own special scenery and
other equipment, together with very
convincing advance reports have
made him very sanguine as to his
coming offering to local amusement
lovers. The failure Of two attrac-
tions to report last week upset the
standard Mr.. Carragien has built ~
at the Cody, but yesterday he was
wearing the smile that won't CONT
off. Candidly, from the line-up Of
acts as we read them, Cody patrons
are due for q treat next week.

Reverence His Memory

"And now his journey is ended
while we are still on the march
with us the tides of life will heave
and surge while he is at rest for
ever. To us remain the storms up
on the land and the tempest on the
ocean-days of duty and nights of
watching evanescent joys and eter-
nal griefs; but over the grave of
this silent man today, let us rever.
ence his memory and emulate his
life-let us cast not shadow across
the pathway of our brother man
let us brighten the world with our
noble endeavor and approach our
dissolution in courage, peace and
hope. But
Il cannot say and | will not say
That ne is dead. He is just away;
With CHEEKY smile and wave of
the hand,
He has wandered into an unknown
land,
And left us dreaming how very
fair.
1t needs must be-since he fingers
there.
And you, oh, you, who the widest
yearn
For the old time step and the glad
return,
Think of him faring on, as DEAR
In the love of THERE as the love
of here.
The touches of his hands have
strayed,
AS reverentIy as his lips have
prayed,
When the little brown thrush that
harshly chirred,
Was as dear to him as the mock
ing bird,
and he pitied as much as man in
pain,
A writhing honey bee wet with
rain,
Think of him still as the SAME /
say,
He is not DEAD, he is just away"

Tribute Paid to the Late Judge c. Smith
From The Superior Telegram Saturday, July s, 1918

| They are gone
''The messy marbles rest,
On the lips that he had pressed
In their bloom.
And the names he loved to hear,
Have been carved for many a year.
On the tomb
His family, all long ago, preced-
ed him to the grave. He leaves so
far as is known, not single de-
scendant relative. His only surviv-
is Mrs. Smiths nephew, John
Haw, of North Dakota. In his last
few years Of solitude he was walk
ing in resignation to the slowly op-
ersng portals of Gods great world
of blended joy. and mystery, and
hope, with Mary's love as a beacon
light pointing his pathway to the
skies.
He became a school teacher in
Pierce county and afterwards coun-
ty superintendent of schools Of that
/ county.
A man severe he was, and stern
to view,
/ knew him well, and every. truant
knew,
Full we'll we laughed with counter
fieted glee,
At all his jokes, for many a joke
had he.
He studied law at Prescott and
was admitted to practice IN the
early seventies -practicing for a
time at Prescott, removing to River
Falls in 1876, where he continued
his practice until 1891, when he
moved to Superior and here engag-
ed in practice in the firm of Ross,
Dryer, Smith and Hanitch until
1893, when the Superior court was
created. when he went upon the
bench and there remained until his
death. In Pierce county he prac-
ticed with Spooner, Ross. Gibson,
Wilson, Humphrey and Weatherby
Took First Rank
I'm the practice of the law he
! took first rank as a jury advocate.
He was at times in reality real
dramatic and emotional jury orator
When the stress was great and the
tide running high he would abandon
his usual argumentative, philosoph-
ic, quaint style, and with thrilling
emotion and dramatic power, sweep
jurors and auditors alike along the
current of his defamation.
"At such times l have seen flashes

| light Of genius.
'.Fate and destiny wrought him
in the mold of greatness, and but
for the Intervention of i'll health
throughout his life, he doubtless
would have been enrolled among the
very great advocates of the country.
He was possessed of a myriad of
side lights always, the characteris-
tics of genius. He was the wittiest
man | ever knew. Humor he did
not possess, as that was too slow for
his mental eruptions. A controversy
would present some ludicrous stu
alton and out would come the spon-
taneous bubbles of his mirth. His
mind was volcanic. No truly witty
man was ever a small man. He
mingled we'll with his fellows. While
his talents were rare, vet he did not
attempt intellectual isolation and
did not shine on his fellows from a
height, but he moved and toiled and
joked and sinned and suffered with

lation of his kindly spirit, but it re-

spleen or hate-not one atom of
malice towards his brother man.
