lures have been made to the
Denver q FL Paso Short Line
company by the accredited represent
atives of English and Scotch capital
for the supply of the money needed
to build the road. The amount re-
quired TO build and equip the line
from Trinidad to FL Paso will prob
ably be about 81, 100000 TO $6,OOo,-
900. The special agent was in the
city a short time ago. referred him
to Reynolds, and have not heard
from Mr.. Reynolds since he went

Judge Ebert was asked what he
thought of the reported move of Jay
Gould in securing control of the
Pecos Valley railway, which was
told in an exclusive special TO the
News.
81 do not think that can in any
way interfere with the short line, as
it opens up an entirely different dis.
trict further east than ours. Mr..
llagerman's company has built
about 100 miles mp the valley from
Oxford on the Texas Pacific, and
Mr.. Gould will probably extend the
line another 100 or so, when it will
form q valuable feeder to his Texas
Pacific, as it will pass through avery
rich country where, by the way, |
believe MIR. Hagerman will make a
great deal of money with his irri-
cation plans. l scarcely think it TO
be Mr.. Gould's intention to continue
this road via Albuquere to Durango,
as suggested in the article. The
way he will naturally reach the
western slope will be by the Mis-
souri, Pacific from Pueblo"

NEW METHOD OF IaRIaATIEa.

Two miles out from FL Paso, Tex,
is a remarkable illustration Of what
water will do. "rhe Pridham Or
chard" this place is called. 1t is on
a high plain or mesa. Nothing more
uninviting or desolate in appearance
than the Lanoria mesa can be mag
med. And there the Pridham or
chard is located. 1t is ten acres in
extent, owned by stock company,
and was started as an experiment.
Around the orchard is a fierce. On
the outside is desert. On the in
side 1000 fruit trees, 200 vines and
beds of berry plants are growing
luxuriantly. The peculiar feature of
the experiment is the economy Of
water used in irrigating the ten acres.
The water comes from a we'll 90 feet
deep. A windmill elevates the
water. The well has never yet run
dry, and those who are conducting
the interesting experiment believe
that this single well could provide
enough water for twenty-five or
thirty acres as well as for ten acres
of trees. Now as to the peculiar plan
of irrigation:
Immediately beside each tree is
placed a wooden box, G inches square,
made of inch boards. The box is .
feet long, and one end of it is sunk
Is inches in the ground. 1t does
not stand perpendicular, but leans
outward from the tree or vine. Six
inches from the lower end of the
box 2-inch holes are bored. No
water is bestowed upon the surface
of The earth. A tank mounted on
wheels receives the water raised by
the windmill. This tank has a pipe
and faucet. As the tank is hauled
along the rows Of trees the water is
let into the boxes until the boxes are
nearly full. In this way not drop
of the precious fluid is lost by evap.
Grafton or by saturation OF soil which
is not Immediately about the roots
of the tree. Another point claimed
for box irrigation is that the water is
carried entirely below the roots ol
the trees. The effect is To foster
downward growth of the roots in
stead of TIE upward tendency which
results from surface irrigation. The
Pridham orchard was started simply
as an object lesson. 1t was intended
to show what could be accomplished
with a small amount of water. From
$35 TO over 800 an acre represents
the advance in the value of unim-
proved land ON this mesa since box
irrigation was suggested. There are
9 ven or eight other orchards, with
between 10000 and 10000 trees and
vines, fiourishing under this novel
method. The well, windmill, horse,
cart, tank and other parts of the box
irrigation outfit for ten sorcs cost
5000. The maintenance OF the or
chard Gusts the enterprising expen
menters $45 a month. Box irriga-
ton is now about three years old.

"The maintenance of party lines"
says Cardinal Gibbons, sis an indis-
pensable means of preserving politi-
cal purity" The warfare between
good and evil in this world is inces-
SAINT, and it is therefore necessary to
have Democratic "a well as a Re-
publican party. If all were Repub-
licans good government would be so
well assured that the people would
sink into apathy by Indifference.
While there is function for the
Democratic party to fill, it Is, how
even, important that that party should
not grow too large.

TIE BRITISH JousNEYxAN.

"The English journeyman has an
unattractive life" says Reuben Gold
Thwaites in an article on "Village
Life in Old England" in the May
New England Magazine. "Starting
out to his work, perhaps miles away,
ut O o'clock in tie summer morning,
with a heavy basket of tools and food
over his shoulder, he often works
until 8 absolutely breakfastless; then
half an hour is allowed him for his

hour or less for what food he has
brought with HIM, and at 8 o'clock
ends his days task, he sometimes

many communities be scoff4d at and
stunned at the alehOuse as man
too proud for that station of life unto
which il had pleased God to call
him. Then, again, the union will
receive him when at last his working
days are over, and he looks forward
with complacency, or shall we say
with sullen Indifference, to ending
his days as pauper. The picture is
gloomy enough, yet Merry England
is filled with such, if you care TO
look at them"

plored her husbands nomination for the presidency. She had followed General Taylor through all his wars, sharing his tent and his privations, and during the remainder of her life she wanted him to herself. His nomination she denounced as "a plot to deprive me of his society; to shorten his life by unnecessary care and responsibility" Her words proved prophetic, for he sacrificed his life in the dedication of the Washington monu. ment. The weather was extremely hot, and the president drank large quantities of ice water and partook freely of fruit, bringing on the fatal illness. On his death Mrs. Taylor became insensible, and the agonized cries of the family were heard out on Pennsylvania avenue
 Mrs. Taylor's heart was broken, and she survived her husband only two years. She never mentioned the White House except ill its relation to his death. After he became president General Fay Tor said his wife had prayed every day for two months that Henry Clay might !, be elected instead of himself
 In May, 1861, Colonel Ellsworth, one of the first victims of the war, was bur jed from the East room, the simple but impressive military service doing more than any battle to fire the northern heart.
 Willie Lincoln, second son of the pres ident, died in the White House in 1862. MT. Lincoln said this blow was the sad dest of his life; the most difficult to bear. The guests room, in which he died, Mrs. Lincoln never entered again. President Lincoln did not die in the White House, but his body lay in state in the East room, and there women scat tered flowers upon his breast, rugged soldiers bent down to kiss his face, and great crowds of people-rich and poor, black and white-came to weep.
 Mrs. Grants father, Frederick Dent, died in the White House in 1873. To the same room in which Mrs. Harrison died General Carried was tenderly car ried, and there he lay and suffered for several weeks. During the Arthur ad- ministration, and while New Years reception was being held at the White House, Elisha Allen, minister from Ha- waii, fell fatally stricken within a few feet of the president and his gay psrty, thus bringing the reception to sudden end.
 These are the notable tragedies of the White House. How many other trage- dies of life and death, death warrants signed and pardons refused, hearts broken and lives ruined, have occurred within it's wallsl

remains was placed upon temporary catafalque in the East room, and upon il was pail of black velvet, with gold fringe. On the coffin lay the sword of justice and the sword of state, surmount- ed ty the scroll of the constitution, bound together by funeral wreath formed of the yew and the cypress. Near the catafalque stood the new presi, dent, Mir. Tyler, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams and other famous men, the diplomatic corps and congress being grouped just behind them. The funeral procession was an imposing one. Six white horses drew the funeral car, each horse led by a black groom dressed in white, with white turban and sash. Tho military followed, and fired a salute at the vault in the Congressional cemetery.
 Having made start in the home of the presidents; death did not wait long before resuming his labors there In September, l942, Mrs. Tyler, wife of Harrison's successor, died in the White House. A sweet pen picture of Mrs. Tyler and her family was drawn by one of her daughters-in-law in private let ter, as follows:
 Nothing can exceed the loneliness of this large and gloomy mansion, hung with black its walls echoing only signs and groans. My poor husband suffered dreadfully when he was told his mothers eyes were constantly turned to the door watching for him. She had everything about her to awaken love- She was beautiful to the eye, even In her illness; her complexion vas clear as an infants, her figure perfect, and her hands and feet were the most delicate l ever saw. She was refined and gentle in everything she said and did. She was my beau ideal of perfect gentlewoman The devotion of father and sons to her was most affecting. don't think I ever saw her enter room that all three did not spring up to offer her chair; to arrange her footstool to caress and pet her
 Before the close of the Tyler admin. istration occurred terrible tragedy iu which the White House bore part. A big gun on the warship Princeton ex- ploded while party of dignitaries were being entertained on board by Commo. dore Stockton, and Secretaries Upshur and Gilmer, of the Tyler cabinet. and NiA' SoluhSli VI 4NC" "CIC stantly killed, along with three or four sailors. In somewhat romantic way President Tyler escaped their fate. He was then much in love with Mir. Gard. ners daughter, and was with others lis. tening to the young lady sing in the cabin. The president had just started to join his cabinet ministers on deck when Miss Gardner began another song, whereupon Tyler returned to her side. At that moment the explosion occurred The two cabinet ministers and MT. Gardner were buried from the East room, and five months later Miss Gard. ner became Mrs. Tyler and mistress of the White House.
 In 1850 President Taylor died in the White House. Of all the deaths in the mansion this was one of the saddest, viewed from the standpoint of the be- reaved partner. Mrs. Taylor had de-
