After all the charges made in the
Republican press of the State against

GALISTEO GRASSES.
Five Samples Of Great Value-Native
Hay PrOducts-A Chance for
Practical Experiments.

The Santa Fe county hay crop is {
marvel this year. On exhibition at thu
New MEXICAN Office are five varieties o.
wild grasses brought in from Galistee
valley yesterday by Capt. Sylvester Davis
They are we'll worth your time to exam
inc, particularly if you are inclined to be
doubling Thomas on the subject OIL
New Mexico's natural productiveness.
Two of the samples are of the Garlic
grass, showing the first and second crop,
being eight and six feet high respective
ly. Ordinarily four cuttings of this hay
are secured each season.
The native red-top is over four feet tai
and of this Galisteo valley farmers secure
two cuttings year.
The gramma grass sample is three feet
in height and one.half of it is head carry.
ing the tiny grain which makes this the
most nutritious of all hay products.
Then there is novelty in the shape Of
grass stalk two feet high which carries
four to six inches Of peculiar grain on
its head, resembling bird seed. 1t il
called "chaguista" by the people of the
Galisteo country, and as far as Capt
Davis observation goes it grows no
whore outside of Galisteo valley. For al
stock purposes he says it is better thar
corn.
If the agricultural experimental sta.
tion desires to engage in something OF
practical benefit to New Mexico it might
procure quantity of seed from these
several varieties of native grasses and un
dertake to introduce them generally
among the farmers of the territory.

NAMBE POWER COMPANY
Incorporation Of Company for the
Generation by Water Power of
Electricity for Lighting and
Manufacturing Purposes
at Santa Fe.

The Nambe Power & Improvement
company has filed articles of incorpora-
tion with the territorial secretary. The
incorporators are Messrs. l.. A. Hughes,
7. J. Helm, j. W. Akers, Matt G. Rey-
nolds and j. D. Hughes, all we'll known
and highly esteemed in Santa Fe, and the
principal object of the company is the
development by water power of electricity
for transmission to Santa Fe and else
where for lighting and manufacturing
purposes.
From the engineers notes the New Mex
IcAN learns that the Nambe Falls, better
known as GEL Salto de Aqua" (the leap of
the water), are situated about five miles
above the Nambe Indian pueblo. The
distance to these falls from Santa Fe by
the present wagon road is a little over
twenty-five miles, while the length of the
electric line between the two points is
ten and one-half miles.
The amount of power capable of de-
velopment is enormous, as the grade of
the river above the falls is very heavy.
For the present, however, it is proposed
to develop only some 500-horse power,
and this only in connection with wooden
mill, which, with this showing of cheap
power, it is expected will be erected here.
A pipe line, 5000 feet long, from the
top of the falls to the proposed power
house, gives fall of $40 feet. The
minimum flow of the Nambe is fifteen
cubic feet of water per second, the stream
being someE four atimes larger than the
Rio Santa Fe.
The promoters of this enterprise say
that $4,000 will bring 400-horse power
net into the city, and that this can be
accomplished without diverting particle
of water from any irrigating ditch, or
otherwise injuring any present rights,
as all the water will be returned to the
river through the power house above the
heads of all the bitches.
In addition to articles of incorpora-
ton, a petition for condemnation pro-
ceedings has already been filed and the
New MEXICAN hopes soon to have the
privilege of recording the fact that the
work of erecting the plant has been COM
menced.

So many people who aim to be some

If there were dreams to sell, what

If you pay as much attention to your

you would certainly be successful.
There comes time in every young
mans life when he thinks he is in love
with a woman older than himself If
she is wise and lets him get over his folly
by degrees and undisturbed, she has
gained a life long friend; if she deludes
herself into trying to agree with him, she
is making trouble for both of them.

Pleasures float like bubbles on the

A Topeka man says that the suspen-

nothing to cling to.
A Topeka woman says things are un-
evenly divided in the world, because no
woman can feel equal to a man who has
beard to hide shabby necktie.
Falling in love is like falling in the
water: You can get just as wet the first

The kind of laughing which makes
sport of your fellow creatures, is not the
kind that loosens the heart strings and
sweetens the acidities of life.
Girls who start out in life with the de-
