The Irrigation Congress.

Among all the conventions of the year
none has more important bearing or
Colorado and the west than the Fourth
National Irrigation congress, to be held
in Albuquerque, N. M, next September
The people of the United States have
learned that uniform results can be Sc
cured in the tilling of lands only through
irrigation. Every year agriculture is be-
coming more of science. The farmer
has learned that he must not depend toe
much on Mother Nature, and that the old
proverb about providence helping those
who help themselves is true. The time
will come when every state in the union
will find it worth while to provide a sub
stitute for rain in case of drouth.
At present the west is particularly in
terested in the most economical and the
most effective means of irrigation. Col
orado farmers nave suffered much from
drouths, and no state should be more IN
terested in helping along the work of the
national congress. General irrigation
means assured wealth to large region,
1t means hope and prosperity to hun
dreds of Industrious citizens.
Seventeen states and territories will be
represented in this big assembly, which
will discuss all the best means of re-
deeming arid lands from barrenness.
Much good has resulted from the three
previous congresses, and 1t is hoped that
Colorado citizens will join in making the
convention a success aud in putting into
practice its wisest recommendations

these cases realize that.it could hardly
have accomplished more.
Take for example, the Peralta Reavis
case, disposed of in favor of the govern
ment and people yesterday. The claimant
spent quarter of century and at least
a quarter of million dollars in fabricat-
ing and perfecting his claim on nearly
100000 of the fairest and richest acres
in Arizona. 1t was so perfect and plausi-
BILE that it deceived the best lawyers in
the land; that at the outset of the investi-
CATION it appeared impregnable to the
law officers of the government; and that,
except for the creation of the court of
private land claims and the exceptional
facilities thereby afforded for trailing
cunning, intriguing and untiring rascal
across continents and oceans, it would
doubtless finally have been confirmed and
thousands of people have been merclless-
ly robbed of their homes ard other fruits
of their enterprise and industry.
Nearly two years and half have
elapsed since the filing of this pretended
grant for confirmation. Since then the
attorneys and special agents of the gov
eminent, with the invaluable co-opera-
tion of the court, have been diligently
engaged in ascertaning and scrutinlzing
every fact shedding light upon the case,
whether buried in the musty archives of
Spain or Mexico, or hidden in the mis-
sion church records of New Mexico, Ari-
zona or California, and the time was none
too long. At last indubitable evidence
was secured that the so-called Peralta-
Reavis grant was purely fictitious from
beginning to end, and upon this evidence,
after patient and exhaustive hearing, it
was plainly pronounced fraud and of
course rejected.
This important decision instantly lifts
the clouds from thousands of titles in
Arizona and frees the minds of many
families from anxious fears. The New
MEXICAN heartily congratulates the court,
the law officers thereof and the people of
Arizona generally upon the righteous
verdict.

GOOD WORK OF THE LAND COURT.

The able, learned and upright Judges
of the United States court of private land
claims, together with United States At
torney Reynolds and his capable corps of
assistants, merit the highest commenda-
ton for the thorough and conscientious
manner in which they have disposed of
the important and arduous tasks assigned
to them by congress.
For many years prior to the creation
of this court the most serious obstacle in
the way of the development and prosper
ity of New Mexico and Arizona was the
clouded and uncertain condition of land
titles, growing out of multiplicity of
pretended or real Spanish and Mexican
land grants. Respecting some of these
grants honest differences of opinion ex-
listed as to conflicting boundary lines,
while many others had either been wholly
fabricated or expanded far beyond their
original limits by professional land grab
bers. All contributed to the general and
fatal distrust of titles in the two terri
tories mentioned. 1t was not the grants
themselves that caused the trouble, for a
title from the lawful owner of a con-
firmed grant is just as good as any other,
but it was uncertainty as to the legitimacy
and boundaries of merely alleged grants
that gave rise to the disastrous doubts.
1t was for the purpose of investigating
these grants, passing upon their validity,
definitely defining their boundaries and
thus laying the foundation for incontest-
able titles either from the government or
from grant owners that the United States
court of private land claims was estab-
lished. So far it has done its work with
admirable thoroughness, and, while the
uninitiated and thoughtless have some
times complained. that it moved slowly,

much labor is involved in sitting one of

thing that "will cause a world of
dissatisfaction He says the asso-
citation has engaged Henry Waiter
son to lecture at the reunion aud
will charge an admission fee of so
cents; and further, that "there is no
statement that there is to be a
charge"
If the old ignoramus would read
the bills put out by the association
he would find that every bill where
in Henry Watterson's name is men,
toned does state plainly that the
lecture will be delivered outside
the grounds and that an ADM ssion
fee will be charged.
The lecture bureau has issued cir.
culars and bills advertising the lee
ture which did not contain this
statement, but the association is not
responsible for the acts of the lee
ture bureau.
The lecture will in no wise inter-
fere with the regular exercises of
the day and number of good
speakers will occupy the amphithe-
atre during the regular hours free

SpQIN0S.

I am pleased to be able TO say
that the prospect for large attend
ance at the Baxter Springs Normal
and Business College for the ensu-
ing year is very flattering. / have
added two teachers to the faculty
aud shall make every arrangement
that the most satisfactory work
may be done in the College this
year. Ihave been very much graf
flied to learn of the extent that our
institution has become known and
the favor with which il is regarded
throughout the country. The past
record and the present prospects
are indeed all that could be expect
ed under the circumstances. But
one serious difficulty confronts us.
The matter of securing suitable ac-
commodations for students. Many
good families have expressed to
me desire to move into Baxter
Springs to educate their children,
but many of them find this impos-
siblc on account of the scarcity of
dwelling houses. We will be de-
prived of from twenty-five TO fifty
students from this fact this year.
| trust that the time may soon come
when our citizens who have the
means may see it to their interest
to build some comfortable dwell
lings. No other investment in Bax-
ter Springs at the present time
offers so sure and so large a per
cent on the money invested. aside
from building up our city with
very desirable class of people. |
feel also that il will be very difficult
TO supply the demand for furnished
rooms. | shall make a personal
canvass in few days to secure a
list of those who can furnish rooms.
And 1 trust that every family will
be interested in the college suffi-
cien,ly to make especial efforts 10
spare a room. The demand must
be supplied in this way this year
and l hope that in the near futnre
some arrangements may be made
by which ample accommodations
may be provided for all who come
without encroaching upon the COM
fort of private families. / desire the
names of all those who have rooms
TO rent or who wish boarders.
