Fred W\ Shrader, who went to Deming. New Mexico, in the spring, writes that he is doing very nicely in the business he has control of there. Deming is a town of about 2,500 inhabitants and has excellent schools and as good churches as any town of its size in the east. Wages are good there and expenses high. Hoard and room ranges from SJIO to §40 per month. No vegetables are produced in the immediate vicinity of Deming, but about thirty miles from the town on the Miinbros river quite a good deal of fruit is raised. Everything is shipped in from California or ft-orn the east. With the process of irrigation the land there might be made very productive. The Land and Water Company are no-.v at work putting in water works so as to irrigate some hundred acres of tins land. Whether or not it will prove a success is yet to be ascertained. The mountain scenery there is very grand. Lying as it does, surrounded by lofty mountains, Deming is a beautiful place. The closest mountains, the Floridas, are only fifteen miles from Fred and picnic parties go most every «4ay. Consumptives make this their headquarters, there being quite a number there now, and with proper care of themselves they generally improve their condition. The inhabitants are most eastern and northern people

and are the most generous and hospitable class of people one could meet. They all unite in making strangers feel at home. The Mexican (or Greasers) make up the remainder. He writes that since lie has been there he has become a member of the brass baud also of the orchestra. Every 1-riday evening a dance is given at which they pay from three to eight dollars a piece per night for music. Custom there is far different than in the east. The dance begins at about 10:110 and lasts until 3 and 4 in the morning. The climate here is grand. Although the days are exceedingly warm, the thermometer registering as high as 105 degrees, the nights are cool enough to sleep under blankets. The young people take advantage of this and instead of having picnics in daytime, as we do in the east, have them in the moonlight. He expects to return about the middle of August and will probably bring home some rare specimens of New Mexican products.
