DEMING AND MIMBRES VALLEY
'

lit EM 1
Deming. X. L. Feb. 26. Kingsbury
Sanborn, one of the most prominent
Irrigation engineers of California, and
a well-recognised authority on under
ground water and the pumping of
water for irrigation, has been in Dem
ing for the past week investigating the
possibilities of irrigation and agricul
tural development in the Mlmbrea val
ley for the purpose of reporting to a
group of California capitalists who are
contemplating investments here. Mr.
Sanborn is consulting engineer for the
Riverside Water company. Riverside,
Calif., for the Citizen's Water com
pany, San Jacinto, Calif, and. for
various other similar concerns in Cali
fornia. Arizona and New Mexico. He
came here from Roswell where he had
been- employed by the Pecos Valley
Investment company In laying out
their water distribution system on its
tract near Roswell. I
AsKed concerning his Impressions of
this valley. Mr. Sanborn said:
Praises the Valley.
"I think Deming has the most ele
gant body of Irrigable land surrounding
it that I have ever run across in my
long experience in irrigated sections.
I have actually been unable to find in
all this great extent of valley any poor
land. It is uniformly level, rich, easv
of cultivation, and is, generally, the
finest body of land that I have ever
seen. The water conditions here are
superb, the railroad facilities are bet
ter than those of many larger cities
than Deming. From a study of all
the conditions bearing upon the situa
tion, I confidently predict that within
five years mere will be an increase in
the cultivated area In the vicinity of
Deming of at least &, acres.
' Pnmplqg System Best.
Mr. Sanborn is enthusiastic for the
pumping system as .against any other
system of irrigation. -He says: "With
the pumping system there are no
ditches to be kept in repair, no floods
to be contended with, no foreign seed
to be deposited on the fields, no wait
ing your turn for water in times of
shortage; in short, the underground
water, or underflow, is the greatest and
most perfect supply of water for irri
gation in the world. You have here."
continued Mr. Sanborn, "about the same
proposition that We had in Riverside.
Calif.. 16 years ago. Now cultivated
land is selling there for $30 per acre,
and raw land with no prospect of
water is selling for $10 per acre.!
Mr. Sanborn declared that the water
supply in the Mlmbres valley is abso
lutely permanent, nature having done
for this valley what it is necessary for
man to do in many valleys of Call-
flavor lasts

fornia in order to maintain a depend
able supply of water. He said further
that be was seriousuly contemplating
trading some of his Riverside property
for property near" Deming. Mr. San
born left for his home in California
Sunday evening.
New Chnrch
The Methodists of Deming have de
cided definitely upon building a new
chnrch to cost between $10.69 and.
$15,000. The building committee has
advertised for plans and drawings to
eorer the following styles: Brick with
stucco finish, pointed to resemble cut
tone: the same body with pebble dash
fialsh; red face brick with concrete
basement. The general outline of the
building may be either of the two
following plans."
One plan is for an auditorium to
seat 54 and a Sunday school depart
ment on the same floor. The Sunday
school chapel would seat 206 and
them should be eisrht small Sunday
school rooms tp seat not less than
la each, the primary department to
lis
seat 76, and pastor's study not less
than 15x16 feet. The basement would
consist of kitchen, dinln? room, par
lor and boiler rooms. The Smriay
school apartments would be so that
they could be thrown late the main
auditorium when necessary.
The other plan of arrangement Is to
have everything except the auditorium
and pastor's study in the basement.
In each plan the floor Is to be ele
vated and hot air will be used for
heating purposes.
Leaves EI Paso for Deming.
C. A King, who has been farming
in the Bl Paso valley for three years,
has sold his farm and moved tc Dem
ing. He will Invest in farm property
here. Mr. King sold out and moved
here without any preliminary visit,
being convinced by the advertising in
The Herald that Deming Is the proper
place for him.

ALLEGED ASSASSINS
PLACED IN JAIL
Mexican Police Hold Five in
Connection With the
death of O'Connell. .
Go ay mas, Sonora, Feb. 26. The al
leged assassins of John C. O'Connell.
who was killed in Empalme last Sun
day night, have neon aneatod and one
has confessed to tne cime. Immedi
ately after the murder was commit
ted the local judee, Sr. Ramon R. Gon
zalez, began active investigation to
bring the guilty parties- to light.
It developed that O'Connell was a.
master mechanic and was coming from
Tehuan tepee on his way to Los Ange
les, where- his family resides- He had
stopped a day in Empalme. presumably
to visit some acquaintance, and this
day's delay resulted in his death, for
it seems that early in the evening he
and some Mexicans were drinking
together when O'Connell showed a
ixrv hnndle of bills. His friends were
i Leopoldo Lopez and Manuel Lopes, an
exsoldler or tne istn oaxiaiion. n
true name appears to be Juan Mar
tines. According to the officers, the man's
companions lured him to a lonely spot
along the railroad track, where they
beat nim over the head with a club and
tore his money from his pockets. As
the pocket In which the roll of bills
was carried was torn., it would appear
! that he had offered resistance as long
i as he could. In an outside pocket was
1 found a bank book from a Los Ange
