SHOPS ARE OURS, SURE
So Declares Supt. Wilson Of Tucson
Division In Interview With
Deming Man
Obstacles TO Half Million Expendi-
ture Here Go When One Man
Leaves Administration

The S. +. shs lated for
Deming, sure as fate, and they will
mean far more TO this city than most
people realize, according 20 Supt.
VIM. Wilson. Of the Tucson division,
who was in Deming last Friday on
his way TO FL Paso. W. Il. Holt. who
was bound for Fl Paso on the. same
train. wormed his way into Mr.. Will
sons private ear and subjected the
division superintendent to thorough
interview on the subject THAI is 80
near TO Deming's heart just now. The
results he got were most satisfactory,
from our standpoint
According TO Mr. Wilson who dis
cussed the matter Of the shops with
the utmost openness. one man alone
blocked the removal of the terminal
from Lordsburg to this point last
fall, when the work actually started
here, only to be halted for some mvs-
terious reason. This man, rather
high up in the federal railroad adj
ministation. is no longer connected
with the railroad administration.
so that the last obstacle TO the reali-
zation of Dcming's hopes seems to
be removed.
How soon the work will be resumed
here Mr.. Wilson was not prepared TO
say, but he made the statement that
he would not be surprised to see il be-
gin at any time. regardless OF the
governments action in the matter of
restoring the roads to their owners
The initial expenditure here fer the
new terminal and shops. according to
Mr.. Wilson, will be $50000D, and
this expenditure has already been Of
ficially approved by the railroad adj
mnistration. This means great
things for Deming," said Mr. Wilson.
"and the s. p. is glad of it, for Dem
ing has stood by us Loyalty and de-
serves something at our hands"
