THE RESULTS ACHIEVED.

THE RESULTS ACHIEVED.
Already farmers have settled upon TO-
900 acres, of which 10000 acres are under
actual cultivation. Two great canals that
render irrigable 25O,OOO acres of land have
been built, covering a distance of ITO
miles. They will be extended as rapidly
as possible, SO that when they are com.
pleted they will irrigate 100000 acres
more.
A standard gauge railroad has been
built from Pecos City, Texas, to Eddy
county, and work Is now being pushed
on it, 80 that the road will be completed
to Roswell, the county seat of Chaves
county, bv the 18th of this month. The
road is now built to within few miles
of Roswell, distance from Pecos City of
100 miles.
No section of this western country is
blessed with better water supply. 1t is
not a question of supply, but how to
control it. This question has been
solved by the construction of two i'm
mense reservoirs. To three men is the
work of the reclamation of this vast area
of arid land primarily due: Messrs. J. J..
Hagerman, G. B. Eddy and Chas. W..
Greene.
There are at present two Aourlshing
towns to derive benefit from the valley,
Eddy and Roswell. One is situated in the
northern part of the valley and the other
in the southern part. As their interests
are identical, the resources of the valley
will be treated first and the latter part of
this article will be devoted to a separate

The New Mexico legislature of 1889
passed two bills creating the counties of
Chaves and Eddy in the southeastern po.-
tion of the territory. The passage of the
bills was really the creation of two en-
pires of immense richness. At that time
the two new counties consisted mainly of
sage brush and jack rabbits. Now, how
ever, all this has been changed and the
two counties literally blossom like gar
den. They are situated in the lower Pecos
valley, and during the past four years
there has been nearly $4,000,O0o spent
there by one company in Improvements.
The average mind ia unable to under
stand the wonder full progress that has
here been made. From sage-brush plains
to rich farms and thriving towns in prac-
tically four years is change indeed, and
it is no wonder that the man who pro.
claims the beauties of the Peoos valley
and the splendid progress it has made
is often met with smiles of incredulity.
What has caused this wonderful changer
The answer is simple:
VAST 1RRIaATIoN ENTERPRISES
built by men who were far-sighted enough
70 see the wonderful possibilities of the
valley and who had the courage of their
convictions. 1t is scarcely four years
siuce the Pecos Irrigation & Improve
ment company undertook the reclamation
and settlement of this locality. The task
was q stupendous one, but the men at the
head of the enterprise possessed indomit-
able will power and determined to prove
to the world that the arid region can be
converted into beautiful farms by the use
of water.

They Go Republican in the Local
Elections - Large Gains
Claimed.

New Haven, Oct. 2.-Returns from the
towns in Connecticut show Unprecedented
gains for the Republicans in the elections
yesterday. In Waterbury, the A. p. A.
aroused the Catholics, who
elected the entire school board of Cath
olics. In New Britain, the ''no license"
vote of one year ago is reversed. The
liquor question has been under constant
discussion during the year. In almost all
the towns where the A. p. AS made a
fight they met with defeat. Meriden,
Norwich, Middletown and New Milford,
which have been Democratic for years,
were captured by the Republicans. New
London elected Democratic mayor, dis
placing Republican. The Republicans,
however, captured all the other offices.

Grand Canon of Colorado River.
On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1862 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
a mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-s Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder of
the world. You can "read up" about it by
asking g. T. Nicholson, G. P. & 7. A., A.

is no common affair; but is entertainingly

NEED OF REFORM,
Political influence I'm the once Of the
Supervising Architect.

Political influence I'm the once of the
Supervising Architect.
From the L. s. Cover ment Advertiser
The influences which operated to the viz
tual removal of Mr.. O'Rourke have re-
sembled the influences which have worked
TO the disposition Of the business affairs of
The office. More politics have entered into
the action than any other element
Mr.. O'Rourke personally is apparently a
man with a practical knowledge of his pro-
fession, in which he attained a reputation
before he accepted government Office in
Washington. He has been a firm man ana
undoubtedly he has striven for the good of
the public service. We suspect that some
OF the unjust and illegal acts under his
Office have been the work of others ana a.
does not follow that there will be a re-
form I'm the methods of the office because
he has resigned.
There are many changes necessary I'm
the supervising architects Office before the
public business which comes within the
scope OF the office will be dispatched in a
purely business-like manner. There In no
reason why this Office should be exempt
from the rules which govern the making OF
awards IN other departments, and there is
no reason why the laws which control the
acceptance OF bids elsewhere should be dis
regarded or violated in the Supervising
arcnitects ONCE. Business has been carried
II has not been due to Mr.. ORourke entire
~. we have thought that in some in
stances an action fairer to bidders might
De taken and We have not hesitated to say
SO, but we believe that so far as Mr.
U kourke himself In concerned ne has not
been MS own master I'm all matters.
There is probably no Office under the ma
tional government capable Of so much i'm
provement as the supervising architects
once IL remains to be seen whether q
new head will accomplish needed changes
In the method. IL the architect be not per-
mitted the exercise OF the authority which
resides In his Office and IL his actions be
controlled by the Influences which have ap-
parently guided past business transactions
there was small need Of the removal OF Mr.
ORourke. The correction of Office abuses
the prohibition Of favoritism, the divorce
of politics from official matters are some
OF the reforms needed, and IL the men re-
main in the department who are responsible
Tor the continuance OF these clements they,
no matter how prominent their position.
should be asked to resign.

A Quilt of Play Bills.

From the Boston Herald.
A quilt of satin-printed play bills is the
unique possession OF Mrs. W. c. Jones. an
oId-time actress. The quilt is composed al
most wholly OF play bills which have been
printed on satin for souvenir occasions.
There are pieces Of plain silk, embroidered
with the usual designs-butterflies. horse
shoes, etc.-but the beauty spots OF the
quilt are the PLAY bills. Another interesting
feature Is that the quilt Is lined with the
damask crimson satin which once
formed The curtains of the OLD Dowery
Theatcr. When the New Bowe.y was built
most of the furnishings OF the Old Bowery
were sold. Mrs. Jones bough; the curtains
and put them 10 their present use. The
quilt was mostly made ION the road, for
Mrs. Jones did a deal OF travelling when
acting. II always worked when waiting In
the green room for my cue" she said In re-
ferring TO the work. The quilt was begun
In Kansas City In 1884, and finished I'm New
York IL 1885,.

BLACKMAILING PRIVATE DETEC.
TlVES.

One Dodge Is 20 Tell a Merchant About
the Gay Life of His Partner.
From the New York World.
The indictment and arrest of George A.
Reid, a private detective" on the charge
of writing annoying letters to firm of
cotton brokers, have given satisfaction to a
number of business men who have been
feeced for years by swindlers of this stamp
All sorts of ruses have been adopted by
these men to extort money from rich men.
Reid was arrested for writing to one of
the partners that the other partner was
spending a great deal of money and living
very fest. The partner had every conf
dence in his business associate, and prompt
ly turned the letters over to him. The re-
suit was the arrest of Reid.
It's about time" Assistant District At
torney John F. Mcintyre said yesterday.
that a stop was put to this nuisance. We
are constantly receiving complaints from
business men of these so-called private de-
| tectives. The merchants don't care to ap-
pear in court, and SO these fellows are not
punished.
only few weeks ago the wife of a
prominent dry goods merchant came to
New Jersey resort, and had received a let
ter from a detective agency telling her
that her husband spent his evenings in the
company Of soubrettes. The letter wound
up with an offer to shadow the husband for
a consideration. The woman paid no at
tention to the letter, and q few days later
received another letter from the same
party informing her that unless he heard
from her in twenty-four hours he would
consider he was engaged, and would SUBJ
init his bill to her every month.
Il wrote the detective to call and see
me, but he didn't call. However, the
woman was not bothered subsequently.
Another case was that of a shoe dealer
up town. He received letter from an
agency stating that his cashier, a man in
whom he had every confidence, was leading
very gay life. The note suggested that ii
would be well worth his while to have a
watch kept on him. The employer turned
the letter over to mis- cashier, who set a
trap for the writer. He wrote him to call
at the store and make himself known.
When he called the cashier pummeied him
very badly. He came here to have the
cashier indicted for assault, but when l
heard the true story l refused to allow him
to go before the grand jury"
