He BOBS UP AGAIN.

Major Powell, OF the geological survey
is again getting IN his work to the detri
ment of the western people. He has per.
suaded the assistant secretary Of the inte-
rior to call upon the land department for a
list OF all lands reserved by the geological
survey as government reservoir sites in
order that they may be wholly segregated
from the public domain and forege with
drawn from entry or location by western
people. Several of these sites are located
in New Mexico, in the neighborhood Of
Jemez hot springs, about Roswell, and, it
is said, several locations have also been
made by Powell's representatives near
Las Vegas and in the Rio Santa
Fe canon, above this city. No
information relative to these latter reser-
vations has ever been given to the pub
lie; in fact, since the defeat of Powell's
lobby at Washington during the first SEES
sion of the last congress he has been
working on the quiet exclusively, and has
had his men in the field picking out the
best sites for reservoirs with the view,
apparently, Of having them thus with
drawn from the hands Of the people be-
fore anything is known of his plans. 1t
would be very interesting to know just
what lands in this territory are to be
withdrawn from entry under this order
by the department of the interior. We
shall make in our business to enlighten
the people on this subject in the near
future, for it is just possible that this is
another Of Major Powell's schemes to
perpetuate his grasp upon the Threats Of
western settlers and strsigthen his hold
upon the public teat.

WHAT'S The MATTER WITH MAKING HIM SET.

The records Of the office Of the terri
torial auditor show, that the following
status exists in the accounts Of A. Sever,
Democratic ex-sherff of Colfax county
for the years 1889 and 1890. There
stand charged against him on the books
for taxes and licenses for 1889 the sum of
$60,l72, and for 1890 the sum of $33, $40,
total of $93,S42. Of this amount he
stands credited with the sum of $50, 44S.
The sum of about $50, 900 is still to be &C.
counted for by him. The record shows
that only about go per cent Of the taxes
charged against him have been accounted
for. What's the matter with making him
account for the deficit?
