MT. R, w. TansiiI Tells What is Being
 Done in New Mexico

MT. R, w. TansiiI Tells What is Being
 Done in New Mexico.
 Mir. R. w. Tansill, prominent citi- zen of Chicago, director of the Pecos Irrigation and Improvement Company and large stockholder in the Pecos Valley Railway, is in the city and is stopping a. the Commercial Hotel. MT. Tansill is accompanied by his wife. He will remain here over today and leave in the morning for California.
 A Republican reporter met Mir. Tan sill yesterday and found him a very pleasant gentleman. When questioned about Pecos Valley he said: "The Pecos Valley has an elevation of from 250U to 45O0 feet. The average rainfall is about thirteen inches per year. The atmosphere is light and dry and gener- ally pleasant and bracing, and statistics show that there is no better climate known for those afflicted with pulmon- ary and kindred diseases.
 "The Pecos valley is situated in the southeastern part of New Mexico. And, |, by the way, a most wonderful transfor. nation is taking place there. This val ley IS 300 miles long, thirty to forty miles wide and as smooth as a floor, with a gentle slope of eighteen to twenty feet to the mile. So you see it is admirably adapted to irrigation, and not only this, but there is an abundance of water at hand to irrigate with. The Pecos river is a great mountain stream, with a flow in the dryest part of the year of l500 cubic feet per second. It has already been utilized by syndicate. They are building here the greatest sys- tenn of irrigating canals on the conti- nent. Over 100 miles of these are al- ready completed, each twenty to fifty five feet wide on the bottom, and carry ing five to seven feet of water. Over 100000 acres of the richest lands in the world will be reclaimed and are being rapidly settled up and improved. There has been expended in this enterprise over $2,OO0,0J0, and at least s1 ,OOO, GOO more will be expended within the pres ent year."

 Deputy Marshal Tom Smith has re- turned from the territory and tells of a thrilling experience of his few nights ago. He and Deputy Marshal Booker were driving across the prairie between midnight and day. In crossing ditch Booker, who was driving, pitched head first over the dashboard on the ground. The horses became frightened and ran. Smith was in the buggy helpless, as the lines had fallen outside. He had no knowledge of the country and did not know what moment he would go over a precipice or into barbed wire. He was afraid to jump lest he should break his neck or limb. So he leveled his Win chester and began firing at the horses, and three or four shots brought them down. The horses cost Smith S150 apiece, but he got the man he started after Dallas News.

WHEELING DAILY REGISTER FRIDAY SEPTEMBER II, 1891

Parker, of Uhrichsville, O., was put up
at auction on the track, between the
heats of the pacing race, and was
knocked down to Mr.. Mckee, of Jeffer-
son county, O., at $3.50. The horse has
the making of good one. and the sale
was generally esteemed bargain.
Mr.. Wheeler, the starter, did much
better in getting up the horses yester-
day, few fines having a very good
effect. AS result OF his energy. the
programme went off rapidly until the
pace came on deck. AS this was the
last race, with twenty minutes neces-
sary between heats, it made things
drag, of course.
One of the finest and handsomest dis
plays to be seen at the Pavilion was
that of B. F. Caldwell e. Co. Their
mantels and tile hearths are especially
beautiful and have been the subjects of
much admiring attention from the great
throngs present. The firm has also on
exhibition some exquisite cherry and
antique oak mantels, and they are mar
wells of fine work. The exhibit, as large
as it is, is only small promise of the
stock kept constantly in the firms
handsome establishment.

LONDON, September l0.-The st.
James Gazette, referring to the fact that
the Times and other papers have pub
lished the Associated Press special letter
dated from this city on September /,
and giving review of the effects OF the
Mckinley tariff bill in Great Britain,
says that the Associated Press cores
pondent has done his work very thor
oughly and that the conclusions he ar
rives at are not altogether unsatisfac-
tory TO England. Continuing the st.
James Gazette says: There is some
satisfaction to learn that the German
industries are injured more than the
English. Even under rigorous pro-
tective tariff. workmanship and quality
will tell at times.

A Close Call.

Prof. Frazier stepped OF the wharf
boat Wednesday night about 9 o'clock.
He was looking after some freight from
Plttsburg. The man In charge OF the
wharf-boat opened one Of the side doors.
While inside, his horse, which was
standing on the wharf, became restless
from the noise OF passing train. He
rushed out in the dark, forgetting there
was no platform at the side door, step
ped into the river. While the water
was not over his head the current drew
Mr.. Frazier under the water and for q
moment the chances were than he would
drown. However, he succeeded in
clutching something which enabled
him to regain his feet, after which ne
waded ashore. He lost his silk hat. The
professor was driven home in his car
riage and last night he was out again,
none the worse for his mishap and feel
ing thankful over the result.

TIE RACES.
Five Events, Including the Unfinished Run
of Wednesday.


of Wednesday.
There were five events on the carpet
yesterday, to-wit: The unfinished nine
siXteenthS mile run of Wednesday for
$500, with Great Scott and Turk, each
of which had heat; half mile dash,
for Sl25; 2:35 class trot, for $500; a
running race, mile heats, for $500, and
a 2:24 class pace for $500. 1t will thus
be seen that S1,525 was hung up in
prizes. The track, as OK Wednesday,
was almost perfect, and the day all that
could be desired, the sun being bright
and the sky clear, with cool and gen.
tie breeze blowing.
At one o'clock the grand stand was
packed, containing something like 5000
people, and ut least three times as many
more lined the fences or filled the car
rlages in the field. The jam at the pool
boxes was fearful, and money changed
hands by the valise full.
THE UNFINISHED RUN.
Scott sold a favorite in the pools at
$40, Turk 81 and Sc. The boOk-makers
offered even money or 3 to 3 OH Turk
and l to on Scott, with good many
takers both ways. The bell rang for
the animals soon after one one o'clock,
when the Judges announced that Turk
had gone lame and could not start. He
accordingly declared all bets and pools
on the race off, and announced that
Scott would run half-mile against
time, as a recompense for the loss of the
race. This was accordingly done, the
time being 1:OS2i. and he was given the
race, Turk second.
