MISS COUZfNS MUST ANSWER.
She is Cited t. Appear Before the
HOn rl of ont .Ol.

CHICAGO, April 27.-When the board of con-
troll of the national worlds far commission
met today ode of the first things to come up
was the trouble between Secretary Couzins
and the executive committee of the board of
lady managers. Miss CouEins was cited TO
appear before the board tomorrow and answer
the charges. These are, substantially, that
she was not amenable to authority and that
she changed the minutes of the November
meeting, etc. Miss Cousins denies the
charges and says If she is ordered to appear
before the board of control she will produce
evidence that the changes were made by the
ladies themselves. She also asserts that she
has letters from the president, Mrs. Palmer,
begging her Miss Couzins) to omit and
change parts of the minutes. This, Miss
Couzus says, she refuses to do and charac-
terizes the ladies' actions as anarchy in high
places. Miss Couzins is little concerned
whether the board of control sides with her
or against her, as she asserts that no au-
thority but the full commission can eject her.

Irrigation in New Mexico.

WAsHINGToS, April 27.-A census bulletin
on the subject of irrigation in New Mexico
shows that in the territory there are 3,0S5
farms irrigated out Of total number Of
Ala not including those of the Pueblo In
dians. The average first cost Of water right
is s.. 5S per acre, and the cost Of the land, cost
of preparing it for cultivation, etc, brings
the average cost to the farmer up to slS.54
per acre. The estimated present value of
irrigated farms, including improvements,
averages S50.9S per acre, showing an ap-
parent profit, less cost of buildings, of S32. A
per acre. Comparing the average annual ex-
pense for water at Sl.54 per acre with the
average annual value Of productions, which
is $3.50 per acre, 1t appears that the average
annual return per acre is Sll.26. Two per
cent of farmers own over one-ffth of the pro.
ductive land, excluding non-irrigated areas.
