will be extended, on line ten or twelve
miles back from the Pecos, and will
reach the southern boundary line OF
New Mexico on the Delaware river-giv-
ing the canal total length of fifty-tive
miles, uniform fall of eighteen inches
to the mile, and bringing under and sub
Ject to irrigation by its waters at least
10000 acres of rich, aluvial, and mex
haustible soil, at all points along the line
gently sloping from the canal to the Pc
cos river.
AS the fall of the Pecos from the hume
above Eddy to the confluence Of the Della
ware is 260 feet, while that of the canal is
but eighty-two and half feet, the water
of the latter, on reaching the Texas line,
will be III and half feet above the level
of the Pecos river bed. Another canal,
branching from the main canal at the
east end of the first "terre-plein" runs
down on the east.side of the Pecos river
nearly parallel to the general course of
that stream and about six miles back
from it. This ditch is about twenty four
feet wide at the bottom, and carries seven
feet OF water. Its length is twenty miles,

built for the purpose Of raising the water
and turning it into the canals, and Of
forming storage reservoir for all the
southern system OF bitches of the Pecos
Irrigation & Improvement company. The
dam is built of limestone. 1t is 270 feet
wide at the base (Which rests on the
solid bedrock OF the country, rises to a
height of fifty feet above bedrock, with
slope of one to one on the lower side
and of four to one on the side bear
ing the pressure of the reservoir, and is
,140 feet, or neally quarter of mile,
in length. The dam simply fills gap or
notch worn down through a solid lime
stone ridge by the flow of the river since
Terrace times, and hence the abutments
are solid rock in place.
The outlet to the canal is cut thirty
feet wide, twenty-five feet deep and
500 feet in length through the solid rock
of this ridge OH the easterly side of the
river, with gates about midway of this
cut to regulate the flow of water into the
canal. On the west side of the river and
reservoir this limestone ridge curves

winter or rises to 100 in the heat of sum-
mer, the average annual temperature be-
ing 63 degrees.
The soil OF the Pecos valley is mainly
dark chocolate loan, interspersed here
and there by deposits OF lighter and
more chalkv nature, all being, however,
extremely rich in gypsum and other salts
that are valuable in the production OF
fruits, cereals and vegetables. The Who'll g
valley is underlaid by limestone, and the
soil resembles, in many respects, tn at
found in portions of Kentucky, Tenn es-
see and the western reserve of Ohio.
An ANALYSIS OF two samples of soil tax en-
from different points in the valley, by the
chemist of the agricultural department at
Washington, attests these facts, and the
chemist states that the soil is we'll adapt
ed to the production OF all kinds of fruits,
cereals and veg getables.
The atmosphere being light, dry, high
ly ralefed and pure, distant objects ap
pear near, and for 800 to $40 days in
the year the rays of the sun are unob

mer are hot, the nights are all delightfully."-

plain to busy mart OF | 800 people. The
streets are eighty feet wide, lined on
either side with double rows of shade
trees; flowing water courses along the
sides of all principal streets, and there is
spirit of thrift and modern enterprise
about the place and its people that is re-
freshing to note.
The blocks are 320 feet east and west
by $50 feet north and south, each pene
trated by north and south alley twenty
feet wide, and these half blocks are div-
ded into lots 25 feet front and $50 deep in
the business portion of the town and
50Xl50 in the residence portion. One ELL
tire block has been set aside for court
house, another for public school buildings
where one hundred children now attend
school, and several beautiful parks have
already been established. This is the
county seat and fine court house is now
being built. The Hagerman hotel, costing
$65 900, is one Of the best equipped hos
telries in the west. The mercantile hous-
es are of brick and substantial structures
and the First National bank block is a
handsome building of two stories occupied
by the First National bank OF Eddy, and
the offices occupied by the Pecos Valley
railway and the Irrigation & Improve
ment company.
Adjacent to the town are many thOus-
and acres of government lands in this
valley, well adapted to farming and fruit
growing, that can be readily irrigated

growing aud the manufacture of olive
oil will, in time, become an important
industry. The valley is destined to
become the finest vineyard and orchard
of the continent, the symmetry, size and
flavor of the fruits being unsurpassed,
and the yield as satisfactory as the
quality.
The following figures indicate the yield
per acre of the various crops named:
Corn, go to 80 bushels; wheat, 40 to
so bushels oats, so to 70 bushels barley,
40 to go bushels rye, 30 to 40 bushels
peas, 25 to 40 bushels; sweet potatoes,
250 to 400 bushels; beets, 175 to 400
bushels; carrots, It's to 300 bushels
onions, $4,000 to 5000 pounds; turnips,
&c, 900 to 22, 900 pounds. The sugar-beet
grows here to great perfection, one far
mer having produced them at the rate
OF 400 bushels per acre, and OF superior
quality. A sugar factory is in contem-
plation of erection, also salt refining
plant, a body of forty feet of rock salt
having just been developed while boring

THE CITY OF EDDY
is in the midst OF this great irrigation sys
tenn, In the center of rapidly advancing
country and is growing at rate that fully
justi6es the grandest expectations Of more
ardent admirers. In less than eighteen
months the town has sprung from wile

from the great canals, and that are sub
ject to entry under the desert land, home
stead and other public land laws. These
are being rapidly taken up and within
short time all will be occupied.
Eddy is the distributing point for vast
empire now and will continue to be so for
years TO come. In the counties of Eddy
and Chaves are, aside from the great
range beef herds not less than 10000
head of sheep, and 100000 pounds OF
wool are annually marketed at Eddy and
thence shipped east. This city has
WATER POWER FACILITIES
that admirably fit it for a manufacturing
center. To the west, thirty miles distant,
in the Sacramento mountains, are great
forests OF timber suitable for lumber, and
the extension of the railroad through TO
the coal fields lying northwest Is only the
question OF short time. Cost OF living
here is not more than in any of the older
states of the west, Iowa, Illinois, Miss
ouri, Kansas, Minnesota or Wisconsin.
Here forty acres can be made to yield
twice as much to the owner as 16O acres
in any OF the states named. Land titles
are perfect, coming direct from the Unit
ed States.
No finer or more productive farms can
be found anywhere than those already
mentioned as located in this valley. There
is still room under the flow of the great
irrigating canals, for upward of 5000 more
farms just as good, Which may be bought
cheaply, and which land will in three
to five years, find ready sale at from $40
to 800 an acre, according to the improve
ments. On some of these lands there is
light growth of mesquite, but this can
be cleared ready for the pow at cost of
81 to rs an acre. A perpetual water-light
can, at present, be purchased from the
Pecos Irrigation & Improvement com
pany for $40 an acre, PAYABLE in ten an
nual installments, and the annual water
rental is but 81 25 per acre. These prices
are much lower than those charged in
Arizona. California, or elsewhere, and
are lower than will be charged when the
valley is more densely populated. NJ. f.

AS to the market, let it be understood
that for the productions of this favored
spot there is never-failing demand
there is no danger of over production in
anything, bread stuhs, alfalfa and vege-
tables are wanted by the empire adjacent,
the mining camps, cities and stock ranges,
at prices that are now and will be for
years, in the very nature OF things, treble
those received by the agricultursts of
the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Illinois and Texas, while from the
standpoint of fruit grower, the Pecos
valley products, far better favored and
more varied than even those of the Cali
fornia "red lands" are at least 800
miles nearer the eastern markets; are
quite as early in maturing and sell for the
same price as do the far off Pacific coast
fruits, thus giving the Pecos valley pro-
ducer the advantage of the shorter haul
to market while in no wise interfering
with the cost Of the product.
PRODUCTIONS OF THE VALLEY.
Let us see what farming-by-irrigation in
New Mexico produces in this locality.
The Stone estate has 300 acres under cul-
tivation; John W. Poe, about the same !;
Capt. j. G. Lea has hundreds OF acres
in successful cultivation; Fisher Bros,
100 acres, of which fifteen acres is in
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1891-07-11

and it will bring under irrigation more
than $4,000 acres of rich sandy loan.
The valley on the east side also slopes
gently from the line of the ditch to the
river. The difference between the east
and west side canals will be generally
about fourteen miles, and every acre OF
the land lying between, except that con-
stituting the river bed, is tillable and can
be easily irrigated from one canal or the
other.
The Hagerman canal is also on the east
siae OF the Pecos river, having its head
dam about fifteen miles below Eddy. 1t
also has large storage reservoir on its
course, forming an extensive and beauti.
ful lake, one and ne-half miles long and
one-half mile vii. ', with an average
depth of twenty-five feet. The main
canal is to be extended to total length
of twenty-five miles, crossing by fiume to
the west side Of the Pecos, at point
about midway between Black river and
the Delaware, and continuing southwark
across the last named stream 10 the lexas
line.
nySf l1uf8e,h %6uf will be aRleth lRehi " 6ht tt9sf 81
the Pecos river by the construction of
large dam just south Of the territorial line.
This canal will be twenty-five miles long,
twenty-five feet wide on the bottom, will
carry six feet of water, and will irrigate
at least 10000 acres of land, As 900 acres
of which are owned by this mpany and
will be sold to actual settlers at low prices
and on long time.
In addition to all these canals there are
at present completed more than 100 miles
OF lateral and sub-lateral bitches, each
four to six feet wide and carrying from
oHe to two feet OF water, and several hun
dred miles more OF these are to be built
or are now in course OF construction.
THE PLucKY PROMOTERS
OF these great enterprises organized for
the development of southeastern New
Mexico undertook the same by organiz-
ing the Pecos Irrigation & improvement
company. The officers are: j. j. Ha-
german, of Colorado Springs, the pro.
jector and builder of the famous Colorado
Midland railroad, president; G. B. Eddy,
OF Eddy, N. NJ, courageous, hard-work
ing, far sighted and possessing magnif-
cent executive ability, vice president and
general manager; l.. II. Jackson, of
Colorado Springs, Colo, secretary, and
H. C. Lowe, of the same place, treasurer.
These gentlemen, together with Mr..
R. W. Tansill, of Chicago, and Mr..
W. A. Hawkins, OF Eddy, N. NJ,
also constitute the board of direc-
tors. The capital of the company is
81 300 900, all OF which will be needed to
complete the system of canals, reservoirs,
etc., already undertaken. Active opera
tions in construction were begun two
years ago; the works are now completed
and ready for use to the extent of sup
plying 100000 acres OF land with an
abundance of water. They will be ex-
tended this year and when completed will
irrigate more than 100000 acres OF the
richest and most productive lands on this
continent.
Having expended nearly million dol.
lars in the water storage and irrigation
undertakings above described these gen.
tlemen were not long in realizing the
necessity of giving the valley direct rail-
road communication with the great trans
