DELTA COUNTY, COLORADO TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1885,
New Mexico's Prosperity.

WAsHINGToN, D. c., Oct. 31.-Gov.
Prince, of New Mexico in his annual re-
port calls special attention to the subject
of land titles. In reviewing the history
of Congressional action in the matter, he
says:
MATTERS were in a very unsatisfactory
condition, when the late Surveyor Gen
| eral made them worse by endeavoring to
unsettle few things that were supposed
to be determined-taking up cases which
had been decided 25 years ago, and with
out notice to any one reversing the decision
Of the Surveyor General who heard the
case, and declaring the testimony insuffi.
cient and the grant invalid
The Governor summarizes the needs of
the people as follows:
''First-Limitation of time within which
grants can be presented.
"Second-A tribunal exclusively for
| hearing these claims and the settlement Of
these titles. This tribunal should have no
connection with any other court.
TO the community at large it is of very
little importance whether one man or an
other owns piece of land, or whether it
main point is the certainty as to title. So
long as uncertainty prevails no one will
buy for improvement, and SO the develop
ment of the country is constantly re-
tarded''
The Governor answers at some length
statements made by persons opposed TO
the admission Of the Territory, especially
regarding illiteracy. He shows that while
the native population is more or less illit-
crate it is not true Of very large proper
ton Of the people. The ratio of illiteracy
has been reduced 20 per cent. during the
last five years. He makes an earnest plea
for admission into the Union.
Upon the subject of water supply and
irrigation the Governor says:
The people feel that it is as much the
business of the Government to render val
liable the immense area now useless for
cultivation as it is TO improve haroors and
rivers. While hoping for Government
aid private enterprise has not been idle,
and during the past year several corpora
tions have been formed for the purpose OF
irrigation. The Ore Company is now con,
structing two immense canals. the first
oeihS iouI uliies IulEs lu4ENy -ANt LttI "lGe
at the bottom and carrying Seven
feet of water; and the other fifty miles long
forty-tive feet wide and also carrying
seven feet of water.
These, he says. are TO be fed by the Pc
cos River, the flow OF which is calculated
TO be 900 cubic feet per second These
canals, with their intervening reservoirs
are estimated to cost abou, 500, 900 and to
irrigate between 200 600 and 5000 acres
of land.
During the past year mining. the Gov
ernor says, has been carried on with more
than ordinary success.
Cattle raising has been in a depressed
condition throughout the year on account
of low prices.

The Prince of Wales Health.

New YORK, Oct. 29.-The London
correspondent OF the Times cablcd rs fol-
lows last night:
1t is learned tonight that word was sent
around to the London dailies yesterday
asking them not to print any reports which
their correspondents at Athens might
wire about the Prince of Wales health and
tho papers here all obeyed the suggestion.
A medical report was received here to-
day which says the effects of Bright's dis
case are beginning to be obvious and the
result of his voyage to Egypt will be
watched for with anxiety.

At lincoln's Tomb.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. Oct. 31.-The ALL
American visitors arrived this morning
but the disagreeable, rainy weather pre-
cluded any sightseeing about town. In the
afternoon they were driven to Lincolu's
tomb, where a large crowd gathered. Sen
ator Cullom introduced Ex-Governor
Oglesby, who made telling speech, advo
eating the change of the route of American
sight seers from Europe to South America
and Mexico, and of the necessity OF the es-
tablishm ent of the universal American
brotherhood commercially, socially, NOR
ally and politically.
Governor Oglesby paid touching tri-
butte to martyred president General
Bolet Peraza, who responded, is son-in-
law Of General Monagus, who while pres
ident Of Venezuela, freed the slaves in
that country General Peraza said his
voice was but an echo of the sen
timents of the people OF his couu-
try, and that fifteen free Ameri.
can nations were present to-day to pay
their respects and render homage to a man
respected and loved by all alike. The tomb
only contained the ashes of great man,
but his real sarcophngus was in the heart
of every living American, both North and
South.
Senior AlfonHo Of Chilli, in a brief speech.
said his presence was the result OF vow
which he made years ago to visit the tomb
Of man beloved throughout three Amer
icas.
After the speaking concluded the visitors
went to the room where the relics were
kept, and each signed his name in the reg
lister. From the tomb they were driven to
I.,ncoln's old home and thence returned to
their hotel
After dinner speeches were made by
Senator Cullom, Senior velardc, Governor
Fffer, Delegate Henderson, Judge Grcs
ham and Congressman Springer. A rccep
tion was held at the State House this
evening, after which tho tourists left foi

ANOTHER TOWER.
Something New for the Worlds Fair
Visitors in 1892. =

New NoRK, Oct. 2S.-W. L. Jud son,
the inventor of pneumatic railway sys-
TEN which bears his name, has desii 1led a
tower for the worlds fair, which, on paper
is so superior to the invention of NJ. Eifiel
as to be practically an original conc option.
In the first place the proposed towe is to
be more than half as high again as the
Eiffel tower. Its height is to be fou r times
its diameter at the base, which is A y feet.
Two spiral inclines, one for vehicl es and
the other for a tramway, will wind lronud
the outside with an eight per cent. grade.
The inclines will be be begun at oppo-
site sides of the structure and will wind
one above the other A drive up he in
cline for vehicles of about l 200 seet or
once round the tower will bring me di-
rectly over the point of starting but nearly
one hundred feet higher. Another drive
Of l 200 feet will elevate one another one
hundred feet, and SO on. The total
length of the line will be three and one
half miles.
Thepatron of tram car will similarly
mount one hundred feet in the air for
every 200 feet Travelled on the spiral in
cline.
Mr.. Judson naturally expects to.have the
tram cars operated by his system, bu, by
almost any cable system the top could be
reached in twenty minutes, as ii is de
signed running at a half a minute head
way. In place, therefore, of being shot up
a dark elevator shaft as in the Eiffel ! tower,
those who mount the American improve
ment will ascend by slow and easy stages
as If going upa mountain, the view aroUnd
them expanding until at the top, 80 II lies
of land and water will be visible on clear
day.
II costs nearly ESQ TO go up one of the
Eiffel elevators, but the trains of the i'm
proved tower could carry 81, 400 day Of
twelve hours, which at 81 a head would
make good revenue. This would be
.argeIy augmented bya tariff on vehicles
and foot passengers. Inside the spiral in
clines are TO be ten circular tlool:s 2T5 fee.
in diameter, which may be u'hlized for
many purposes. II occupied as lodgings
they would have plenty of customers on
hot summer nights. The top Of the tower
would mauifcstly be good place for an OBJ
servatory, The cost of the proposed
structure, the chief material of which as
Of the EiIel tower, would be irgn, is esti.
mated at $, SOC, ,0oo, a sum whiSI revenue
anything like $4,000 day would liqui-
date, long before the worlds fair was half
over.
The plan Of the tower, together with the
tram and carriage ways, is said TO have been
approved by some of the best engineers in
the country, among whom are Adolphus
Bouzano of the Phoenix Bird sc Company,
who claims to have offered design simi
lar to tho Eifcl tower to the Philadelphia
exposition, to which the memorial build
ng was preferred, and Captain G. W.
Synerus OF the United States engineer
corps. The PhGnix company has so much
faith in the tower that 1t has offered to
take block Of stock in the company for
its erection. The tower could be run up
inside OF year, as its various sections
could be constructed simultaneously and
put together as fast as they were finished.

A Railroad from the United States to
South America.

WASHINGTON. d. c. Oct 25.-ES-
Senator John b. Henderson, OF Missouri,
tho President OF the Pan American Con
ercss, thinks the tour now being made
will result In incalculablc benefit 10 this
country in promoting closer commercial re
latious between ourselves and the South
crn Americas.
One of the first visible benefits will, in
his opinion, be the building Of a new rail
road or extension OF the present Mexican
system down through the Isthmus, through
Central America into South America. 1t
is true there arc many natural difficulties
in the way, but none OF them, he thinks,
arc as great as many that have been over
come by the engineers of the Pacific rail
roads, where obstacles were overcome
which until then had been deemed insur-
mountable by engineering skill.
THE proper stimulus said Mr.. Hen
derson, Twill be for the governments of the
countries through which the new road will
pass to offer the projects liberal land
grants, and capital will Immediately be
found. There are untold acres Of fertile
land lying unused in Central and South
America, and there are hundreds of shrewd
capitalists in this country eager to invest
their capital in such road IL sufficient in
duccments are held out / am told tha
there Is even now n syndicate being formed
in Chicago with this purpose in view, II
such n railroad could be perfected, the
commerce It would bring to the United
States, and in paying take back to South
American States would almost alone repay
hundred fold for all that is now being
expended"

day OF how she consulted seven physicians
about the headache. They all disagreed
as 10 the cause of the trouble. One called
1t diph,heria, another malaria, defective
eyes and another neuralgia Copies Of the
prescriptions given and the names and

Tho Cotton Worm..How to Destroy il

STATE BUREAU. OEs AGEICULTURE.
Baton Rouge, La, Aug. IS, 1889.
Paris Green. London Purple and
White Arsenic, all compounds OF
arsenic, are used for the destruction OF
this pest. Since all the above are
poisonous to man and beast, they must
be handled with great care and cau-
ton.
The almost unanimous opinion of
farmers and planters Is that OF the
above, Paris Green Is by far the best
poison. 1t Is used In three ways: first,
In liquid suspension; mix one pound Of
pulverizsd Paris Green, with forty
gallons of water aud put this on one
acre, by and with large watering pot
or from the barrels placed in a wagon,
by use Of spray pumps. In either case
tho mixture must be kept well stirred,
since Paris Green is not soluble in
water, but is held mechanically sus-
pended; a little flour just soured In a
bucket of water and then added to the
mixture, gives it greater adhesive
power.
Second. Dry, mixed with some
deluent as cheap fl)ur, yellow ochre,
fiue clay, plaster or ashes. "A little
dextrine is sometimes added to in
crease adhesiveness. Ono pound of
Paris Green is mixed with twenty-five
pounds of the deinent.
This mixture. used during showery
weather is Gifted over the plants by
hand, through coarse sleeves.
Third. The finely ground Paris
Green IL busted from an oblong sack
made of coarse muslin, attached to the
end of along pole, carried by a man
on horseback. In this way ii is easily
and cheaply distributed; the only OBJ
lection is, that as ordinarily perform
cd, more Paris Green Is used than is
necessary. Care should be taken to
keep man and beast on the side from
which the wind is blowing, so as to
avoid inhalation Of arsenical dust.
Either of the above methods can be
used with certainty of success, Ii pro-
per care in following directions be
exerted. THOMPSON j. BIRD,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

of time, it is better to allow plenty of
room in the beginning.
Unless the hogs that are being fed on
corn are kept warm portion of the corn
will be wasted in supplying heat for the
protection of the body. The more COM
Portable the hog the faster it will fatten.
When the cold season opens the slop will
be more beneficial if given warm. Half
frozen slop chills the hogs, and causes a
loss of the food from other sources.
The advantage in keeping ducks are
that they are not subject TO yermin (such
as lice), are rarely affected by disease, and
can endure nearly all kinds of exposure
when fully matured. A fence eighteen
inches high will serve to confne them, if
the large breeds are used, and they can be
kept on grass principally, although a
heavy feed twice day will greatly pro-
mote laying.
There is no necessity for dehorning a
COW. If she is vicious it is safer and bet
ter to get rid of her rather than to at
tempt to lessen her opportunities of doing
injury. Only the cows of gentle DISPOSE
tion should be used in the dairy business
The hornless cattle are capable of doing
damage when they are so inclined, and re-
moving the horns from vicious animal is
no security against injury.
As soon as the coupling season is over
the breeding ewes should be separated
from the flock and fed on urishing food.
They should not be made too fat, for fear
of milk fever at Landing time, but they
require good feeding if they are to produce
strong lambs. Plenty of hay, with a mess
of ground oats once day, should keep
them in good condition without liability
of the ewes becoming too fat.
1t is not as easy to keep apples now as
when the weather is cold. Sudden changes
will affect them if they are not stored in a
cool place at present. As soon as signs of
decay appear on the apples it indicates
that they must be disposed of at once or
they will soon rot. If not convenient to
market all apples that are liable to decay
should be made into cider for vinegar.
The keeping qualities also depend on the
variety, but at this season the warmth is
to be guarded against.
Carbonaceous foods should be fed, when
they are required, in preference to the
foods that are heterogeneous. Bran, which
is food rich in phosphates, is one of the
best foods to accompany all others, but the
amount of carbonaceous food should be
regulated by the product. A young ami
NAL does not require as much heat-produc-
ing food as one that is being fatted A
COW that gives rich milk must have food
that abounds in the carbonaceous elements,
such as cornmeal, etc, as the cream is pro-
duced mostly from such food. Many of
the heterogeneous foods, however, contain
large proportion of heat-producing ele-
ments, and variety will usually satisfy all
demands.
