Although our boys were defeated the
score being 20 TO 13, they played a
good game.
We are looking forward to the game
between our boys and the El Paso
High School on November Sth and we
are sure that they will win.

County Agent Heyman was I'm Las

and other members and succeeded In
getting consideration for the Mimbres
Valley. III Paso as usual has scheme
for absorbing all the current for in
dustrial purposes. But the present in
dustries OF I'll PasO cannot handle the
current and hence the Pass City
boosters very carefully failed to men,
ton Demlngs need which Is more legl-
innate than theirs, because primarily
the Elephant Butte project Is for the

Brooks, formerly county agricultural
agent for Dona Ana county, Is mana
ger for FL Pasos high line canal COM
mittee and he doesn't seem very EN-
thuslastic about the Mimbres Valley.
However, the local committee secured
the data necessary TO lav before the
board and Is assured Of consideration.
The present plan Of the government
Is TO hook up with the Hurley steam
power plant and the FL Pas0 electric
plant In order To secure surrent during
the winter when the water Is shut off.
IL has been suggested that the local
power plant might cooperate in this
matter. Anyway, the connection with
Hurley brings the power to the Min
bres Valley and IL is Deming's fault IL
Il doesn't get Its shares, which should
be large one. The Mimbres Valley
now has five thousand acres In culti-
vation and could have 10000 accord
ing to Darton's official report of avail
able underground water. The Ele-
phant Butte power project could not
make enough current to supply this
amount OF cultivation
The power committee needs the help
and assistance of all the citizens OF the
community. especially when the bill
comes before congress. At that time
Luna county should exert any politi-
cal influence 1t may have TO see that
New Mexico power is not carted off
for use In Texas.
