I have' been requested by o
many of my friend -, to v. .t-,

as a whole through the columns
ot he Herald and 1 take this
method of communication.
Of all the newest and less de

West, Gr:.ncounty. N. M., of-
fers an unusual vaiied assor:-
men ; of attractions to he pros
peciive resident. Its vast do
rna.n is ah.ioi.t wholly undevel
oped, and to the man of origi-
nality and adaptability and a
great deal of perserverance, this
com try offers wonder!ul oppor-
tunities.
It has something to offer the
health see e.s, the minors, the
farmer.., t -c stockman a.id ihe

Health seeking is placed at
the i e:.d . f he list, for the rea-
son that hiaiih is the biggest
thing it has to offer. The clim-
ate tj this country to the • er-

erous health. You may judge

tlr's country, "t produces mines
of copper, gold, silver, : inc. le d

means to the minors it al%o
means a nearby market for, all

There are numerous ranches
nestled m the valleys where wa
ter fan be had for irrigation.
The room for ranch de%e!o -
mem is practically unlimited.
The largest co t is that of b iid-
ing, digging the well and equip-
ping with stock. The returns
from such a place are limited,
and they must be measured in
freedom, in comfort and in
health.
'this country sets astride the
continental d.vide. The <iio.d r.v

wild turkeys are quit abundant.
The climate is suen that camp
life is enjoyable at most ail
times of the year. Peop.e of this
country consider a few weeks
hunting in he fall almost a nec-
essity to existance.
Father made the trip from
Hollis in six days without any
trouble, the speedomater regis-
tered 796 miles. He says it takes
a steady nerve and a keen eye
to drive a car from' Hollis here,
through the mountains, gorges
and deserts. The secret of his
success is placed to Mr. Hub-
bard's good management ana
driving whi'e Father held down
the back seat.

the Democrats here had a big
celebration. It was conducted m
a way which was sufficient proo
of the Democrats being equal
to the occasion and wide awake,
and for Democracy at large.
