As the citizens of thIs city are deeply interested in the cost of the proposed water works We reproduce from the Fl Paso Herald the following figures on the cost of pumping.
 The question has been raised ss to the cost to the city to pump into the proposed reservoir each thousand gal Ions of water. In our local columns to day we give the rates which are charged at Trinidad, but if we are not mistaken it is by direct supply, the same as if we pumped direct from the river. The cost of pumping direct into the Watts reservoir is estimated at 15 cents per thousand gallons, while to supply the city direct from the river it is estimated by the old company that it could be done for : cents per thousand gallons. The editor Of the Herald has no chance to inform himself on the cost of per thousand gallons of placing water in the new reservoir, but if water can De put into the Watts reservoir for b cents per thousand gallons and pumped direct for : cents, we say vote the bonds and then if the Council sees that the cost of putting mesa water into a reservoir is too great to allow us 10 compete with the old compsny's offer give that com pany a reasonable price for their plant, and if they refuse to sell at such price put ID a similar system, arranging it so that when we do become able to secure our water from the mesa that the pipes could be used ID the system. We should have mesa water, but Tn any case let the city own its water works.

COMMISSIONERS POWERS, who is charg- ed with the preparation of labor statis. ties for Minnesota, has made report on The foreclosures of farm mortgages in twenty-two of the southern counties of that State. The total number of fore closures in these counties for 1881 was 72l, and for 1891 was 1S9. These facts show that the farmers in the counties referred to are not as poverty-stricken as the false Sprcphets of the Revenue Reform" party have maintained.

Expensive Repairs.

4 submarine telegraph cable has a life of from ten to twelve years. if g cable breaks in deep water after it is ten years old it cannot be lifted for repairs, as it will break of its own weight. On th1s account cable companies are prepared to put aside large reserve fund in order that they may be prepared to replace their cables every ten years. The action of the sea eats the iron away so com yletely as to turn the outside coating to dust or sediment while tAe core is stiG intact The breakage of an ocean cable is very costly accident, owing to the difficulties to be encountered in repair. ing it. It often becomes necessary in case of break to charter ship at $500 per day for several days in succession, tsying to fix upon the location where the cable has parted. One breakage iu the Direct Cable company's line few years ego cost that syndicate $125, 900. Boston Transcript

Miss Leonora Dedge, aged thirteen years, daughter of Captain J. G. Dedge, 8 well known farmer of Appling county, rode out to the woods the other day to drive up the cattle and came upon very large rattlesnake. She dismounted from her saddle, hitched her horse, and chased the snake to root, trying to kill him, but the snake succeeded in reaching a den under the root. She then remount- cd and galloped her horse home, but soon returned with implements sufficient to force the snake from its den. Then she put rope around its neck and dragged 1t home, where she now has it in cage Cor. Savannah Newa

Can You Read It?

As the railroad workmen were engaged in removing loose stones from the en- bankment near the stone bridge recently. they unearthed one of peculiar shape, having one side smoothed and bearing an inscription which, after much labor, was deciphered to read, "Loo fir pa" On account of its peculiar shape and the interest attached to it, the stone was re- moved to the tool house near the depot, where it no" lies, and can be seen by those interested. It is supposed to be a relic left by the Norsemen on their visit to Cape Ann in early times --Gloucester Tip@A=

First Ever at the White House.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13.-The New York correspondent of the Press tele- graphs as follows:
 Ut IS not the inauguration of MT. Cleveland or the social festivities of Washington that those matrons who know the Cleveland family we'll are now discussing with those exquisite manifes- tations of maternal interest which a common womanly sympathy always causes. It IS of another event which. if these mntrons are not misled, will be the first of that sort which has ever oc- cured in the White House. Death has been there often, but never has an event occurred there such as would cause the people to rejoice and the mothers of the land to send message of love and sym pathy. It is the probability of this that gives these mothers who are intimate with the Clevelauds joy and scauses them to now exchange frequent confi- dences."

THE NEWSPAPERS.
People who read are always intelligent.
AS Lord Bacon says, Reading maketh a
full man." The people of the Pecos
valley realize this. In 1890 there was only
one newspaper in the valley, located at
Roswell, the Register. 1t is well printed
and edited. Since that date daily paper,
the Current, and three weeklies, the Eddy
Argus, the Citizen and the Independent
have been established at Eddy. The Otis
people also have fine monthly known
as the Otis journal. 1t is devoted to
general farming and local news. Another
paper has also been established at Ros-
well, the Independent, making seven pa
pcrs in the two counties.
Mr.. j. M. Hawkins is the pioneer jour
nalist of Eddy His paper, the Argus,
from the start presented the advantages
of the recos Valley. So we'll has this
been done that he enjoys large patron
age outside the valley. The writer feels
indebted to him for many professional
! courtesies, and begs to thus acknowledge
them. He always shows his ability and
willingness to help out brother journal
ist and his columns are always open to
matter tending to advance his home inter
ests. The same may be said of the other
papers. The Current is a live daily, and
the Citizen careful and conscientious ex-
ponent of its patrons best interests
Keeping step with the progress of Eddy
another weekly known as the Independent
has been started during tho last month
There is no need to fall behind the times
in the Pecos Valley. Her splendid press
keeps up with the news and iscontinually
presenting new matter on the topics that
interest the irrigation region. M. A. D.

HAGERMAN.
Fifty-fiye miles above Eddy and thirty
miles south of Roswell, near the mouth of
the Feliz river, lies the town of Hagerman.
The Pecos valley corporation proposes to
| give this new town Importance by max
ing it the distributing point for all the
upper valley works. The outfits for the
great upper system of canals and reser-
voirs will be furnished here, and as it is
in the center of about 10000 acres Of
good irrigable land there is no doubt of
its success. 1t is named in honor Of J. j.
Hagerman.
Other towns have also been laid out.
Is one of the prettiest. Its people are
all prosperous farmers. The Bolles 6fO
acre horse farm and race stables are To-
Gated in this township. Besides this Mr..
W. A. Hawkins and Hon. c. G. Blodget
have lG0 acres of fruit trees planted here
under contract with an eastern nursery.
These two young men deserve great
deal of credit. Mr.. Hawkins is at the
head of his profession as lawyer, and is
council to the p. l. Il |. Co. lie is also
director in all the other departments.
Mr.. Blodget is the first mayor of Eddy
and although young man, has shown
great executive ability. He is assistant
general manager of the great enterprises
here projected. Besides these two there
are number of young mon who have
taken up land hore Most of the farmers
here are college-bred men, and the little
town has bright future ahead of it. Its
social life will be of much higher order
than is usual in farming communities.
vAuD
Is a little town belonging to 4 colony of
Swiss. Mr.. II. Gaalier brought over and
settled on this land forty Swiss families
in 1890. They went industriously to work,
but unfortunately were told and believed
a lot of ghost stories about irrigation.
They went on the plan that if little
water WAS good, more would be better.
Therefore, they would turn on their water
and go up to Eddy for day or two. In
consequence the crops of many of them
we're washed out of the ground. Sew
eral however, took the advice of the
ditch riders, who are experienced irri-
gators from California, and prospered.
Among them are G. Cuenod, who farms
2l0 acres; Z. Secretan, so acres, and Bre-
mond Bros, 27O acres. These are of the
original Swiss colony and have been emf
nently successful. Any one who thinks
that the experience of the others should
deter him might write to the above
named.
