WHO WILL TAKE HOLD OF 1T.
A Splendid Collection of Historic Interes
That Should be Opened to the
Public.

The rooms of the Historical Society
constitute splendid attraction in Santa
Fe for all visitors and tourists; none come
here but who visit these rooms and spend
hours looking over the unique exhibits
there, and it is not too much to count it
as one of the city's chief attractions to
tourists. While this is so, the display
could be wonderfully improved by little
liberalty on the part of our citizens at
this time. The magnificent collection OF
native curios, gathered by the late MIR
Cole, has Leen contracted for by Gov
ernor Prince, and most of the purchase
price has been paid on it, but couple OF
hundred dollars is yet due, and the col.
lection, under the agreement, can not be
unpacked until all the money is paid.
To raise this residue the Historical So
ciety has decided to dispose of life mem.
berships in the institution at $50 each, and
the New MEXICAN respectfully urges that
few of our more enterprising citizens
come forward and take these honorary
memberships to the end that the Cole
collection may be no longer hidden from
public view. He who takes up and leads
in this matter will prove himself public
benefactor whose efforts the citizens 'anc
visitors will not be slow to appreciate
Who will assist in having this splendid
exhibit opened at all early day?

OFFICIAL WAITS.

Hon. Lewis A. Croft, late commission
er of the general land Office, who, it was
thought, would certainly be one of the
members of the new land court, writes
Judge Morrison from Los Angeles, CAL,
saying, among other things: II thank
you earnestly for what YOU have said in
my behalf in connection with the land
court. beg to say that l am not can
didate for any office can not, however,
help expressing my gratitude to those
who have been associated with me for the
very generous things they have said OF
me and of my administration of affairs OF
the general land office" The ex-com
missioner then states that he has located
permanently at Los Angeles, and expects
to pass there his remaining days.
A TIMELY PUBLICATION.
Rand McNally & Co. have just issued a
very complete indexed county and town.
ship pocket map and shippers guide OF
New Mexico. The little map contained
in this pamphlet Is beauty in three colors,
showing, according to official facts, all
land grants, those confirmed and uncon'
firmed, while the public land area is in
white. 1t shows at glance that the land
grant question in New Mexico has always
been greatly exaggerated; that there are
millions of acres of desirable land here
awaiting the coming of the enterprising
American farmer, and for this reason in
particular, the work is valuable and time

GRIERSON ON WATER STORAGE,
A Practical Man Takes Look at the santa
Fe yalley-A Flattering Pros
pect for the Capital City.

Capt. II. F. Grierson, well known as
long identified with the A., I. Il s. f.
immigration interests in New Mexico,
came in from the Mesila valley this
morning, and has spent no small part OF
his DAYS visit talking with citizens on
the subject OF water storage Tor the Santa
Fe valley. He has casually examined
the lay of the land from the foothills on
the east to the Cerrillos road in the CEN
trail part of the valley and he thinks that
the scheme is entirely possible. The only
difficulty he has encountered in the loca-
ton of reservoirs in other parts OF the
territory is the increased expense OF the
work on land that has heavy fall for
instance, it costs very much more to es-
tablish reservoir on land that has
fall of forty feet to the mile than
on land that has one-fourth OF this.
The secret of cheap reservoir building
on the Maxwell grant plains lies in the
fact that the land is almost level. There
a dam forty feet high will back the water
up for fully two miles and cover ali area
of 900 acres or more with water, where
as, ON land with sharp slope a dam to
cost the same money will not cover hall
as much reservoir space with water.
For this reason it is best in selecting re-
servoir sites to choose comparatively
level ground.
Capt. Grierson took careful note OF
the great volume of water that is now and
mas for months been going to waste down
the Rio Santa Fe, and he thinks it gen.
uine shame that this 1907 900 acres of pro-
ductive fruit land lying adjacent to Santa
Fe should not receive the benefit OF this
water. He says there is 40 difficulty al
all about securing capital to invest IL
this enterprise should it be determined
after a preliminary survey, that it is in
fact what it so readily appears to be al
first glance. His idea is that it woulC
pay the citizens to employ competen
engineer to run a preliminary survey
through the valley, and he promises t.
return here shortly to further discuss thu
subject with leading Santa Feans.
Capt. Grierson has been instrumental
in introducing great deal of capital into
various New Mexico enterprises. Large
~ through his influence the bonds for the
big Mesilla valley canal are now beinG
sold in London, and his latest enterprise
was to raise sufficient eastern capital tt
build a branch railroad, eighteen miles
from White Water to the iron and cope
mines at Hanover, Grant county
which road is now in process of con
struction. Certain it is that this SAINT
Fe valley reservoir enterprise will prove
success if he takes hold of it.

Miss Allison and all the teachers and
friends of the Presbyterian mission school
offer sincere and special thanks to the
Santa Fe fire department for its prompt
turnout yesterday afternoon when the
school building seemed to be in danger.
1t is great satisfaction to know that
help so ready and efficient could be de-
pended upon should real need of it oc-
cur.
Mr.. S. B. Turner, OF Denver, who in
company with several outside capitalists
owns a tract of land adjoining Mr.. Web
ber's, on Ion Gaspar avenue, is so fully
convinced that city incorporation will
carry, that he has started in to plat his
and adjoining lands into residence lots.
After this is done, and should the incor-
poration movement succeed, contract
will be let for building number of brick
cottages on this plat, the same to be sold
on the installment plan.
The regular meeting of the Building &
Loan association took place last night at
the Second National bank. The new
president, DR.. Harroun, presided, and the
new secretary, J. D. Proudfit, was at the
desk. An additional loan of $500 was
made to Mr.. Gerdes; Messrs. Easley and
Wyllys were reappointed board of ap-
praisers, and Harry Stevens, of the New
MEXICAN office, made application for ten
shares of stock in the second series.
R. M. Young and son, of Grant, Neb.,
arrived in Santa Fe to-day, and come, at
the suggestion of Mr.. Jay 7. Adams, to
make their homes here. Mr.. Young
says that crops have failed in western
Nebraska for five years and he is looking
for country where irrigation can be
done. Many farmers in his locality sui
fered for the necessaries of lite last winter
and the state legislature appropriated
100000 to aid them. He regards Ne
braska as fine field in which to circulate
immigration literature about New Mexico
and says many farmers there are looking
this way. Mr.. Young will probably en-
gage in the truck garden business here.

DON PLATT DEAD.

Colonel Don Piatt, whose death occurred
at his home near Cleveland, Ohio, on Thurs
day Of last week, was best known as wri-
ter on political topics. He acquired prom
inence soon after the war as journalist at
the Capital, where for some years he con-
Quoted weekly newspaper largely devoted
to personalities. Exciting incidents during
the Grant administration supplied him with
abundant material for treatment by his
trenchant pen.
To say that his comments upon public
affairs were systematically just or accurate
would be to misrepresent, TO no good end,
the record of his assertions, Many Of his
utterances were, indeed, so partisan and un-
fair that they subjected him to merited crit
icism. His labos were not, however, un.
fruitful Of benefit to his fellow citizens.
During his career 1t was his opportunity
and his privilege TO puncture more than one
sham, to expose not few evildoers, and to
oppose policies and measures at variance
with the welfare of the people. In recent
years he developed great facility and force
as an exponent of enlightened economic
doctrines and contributed literally to the
instruction of the public. In his decease
there disappears controversialist whose
capacity for caustic If not invariably con,
vincing statements was never doubted by
those at whom they were leveled. What
ever else may be said Of him Don Pian was
fighter

BETTER ROADS.

The idea is very generally entertained
that the next Legislature will seriously con-
slider the enactment of a road law. The
conclusion has long since been reached by
the farmers that the business operations OF
the farm cannot be carried on successfully
as long as they are deprived OF the very
great advantages which flow from well
regulated system Of good roads.
1t is high time for the Maryland farmers
to take some decided stand with reference
to the establishment Of better roads, and
macadamzed roads at that, constructed on
scientific principles as to grade, permanency
and repairs In the END these kind Of roads
are not more expensive than the present
miserable dirt roads, which annually re-
ouire thousands of dollars to repair them,
and, when repaired are but little better
than at first
What the people want is good and sub
stantial roads, now that their farms are pro-
ductive, so as to let them have reliable and
easy access to market at all seasons of the
year, and there is no county in the State
which is more in need Of good roads than
ours. Churches, schools and good roads are
great inducements to immigration, and with
immigration inevitably follows an improved
and increased valre Of lands, to say nothing
--otIha thoussad oihar u&Eerial sdganlages.
The Baltimore Herald, In its issue Of The
10th instant in a lengthy article upon this
subject, submits the following very strong
remarks:
"The cost of macadamized roads is con.
siderable, but so is the cost Of any form ol
highway which will answer the purpose
Their expensiveness, however, does not de-
bar their introduction. Every county al.
ready assesses road tax, and in the aggre-
gate il is a large sum of money each year
With portion of this fund beginning
can be made, and to the first few miles ol
road others can be added as funds are pro.
vded. Or money can be raised by special
taxation and the work carried on more
rapidly.
"This was the plan adopted in Union
county, N. j., about four years ago, when
the citizens of that county Voluntarily peti'
toned the Legislature to tax them $3.50, ,O0C
in two years to build roads. That county
now has over 100 miles Of Macadam anc
Telford roads, and is steadily adding Il
them year by year. The farmers are de
lighted, and road reform has come to stay
in New Jersey.
Jefferson county, Ala, also undertook
the building of macadamized roads with
energy two years ago. A special levy was
laid for start, and there are now ITO miles
Of finished road leading out of Birmingham
across the county, thirty miles more are
under construction, and q contract for seven
miles was let about fortnight ago.
"These practical illustrations show what
can be done in the Maryland counties by q
determined purpose, and by the concentra-
ton of effort and expense upon few miles
of road at time. The cheap. John meth
DDS of road.building should be abandoned
for those which are scientific and conduc.
tive TO permanent results"
