When we shall fall asleep.
To Baby Helen-Acrostic.

Her hair is SO lovely in texture and hue,
Ever the soitest and silkiest brown,
Like the grandfathers, dear, whom never
she knew,
Enhanced in its beauty by that thought
Nearer and dearer for likeness so true.
Enshrined in the clear depths of lustrous
dark eyes
Lives there sweet fairy who smiles all the
day,
Zealousy guarding the secret that lies
Enchantingly tender, new souls soft play,
None but the angels its sweet speech tell DER
And rightly interpret its sweet baby lore.
Right royal she queens it with sceptre of
love,
In heart and in home she asserts her soft
sway,
Caring naught for the intrigues false hearts
have wove;
Knows she of no law, but her law we obey,
Endowed by kind Nature with power to
teach it
To all OF her subjects so loyal and leal,
There beats not heart but her soft hand
can reach it,
So wlnsome fairy all hearts wish her veal.

The Santa Fe board of trade held its

dian school and the continuation of the
same under the supervision of the United
States government, and to that end re-
specially requests the secretary of the
interior to take the necessary measures
to turn over said reservation to the COM
missioner of Indian affairs and to secure
such legislation as may be necessary to
establish an Indian school permanently
upon such reservation; that this resolu-
tion be spread upon the minutes; that
copy be forwarded to the secretary of the
interior, the commissioner of Indian af
fairs, and to Senator Teller, OF Colorado,

THE SANTA FE LAKES.
Water Flowing Through the New Cut
for Irrigation PurpOscs-A Unique
Experiment..

The force of men, which has been at work
under the direction of the mayordomos
on the lakes at the head of the Rio Santa
Fe for two weeks past, had the gratifca-
tion of seeing the water flow through the
cut into the river ON Saturday. They
completed their work Saturday night and
since then strong head of water for IT,
rigation purposes has been flowing
through the bitches. The men cut q
trench six feet wide and four feet deep
in the lake embankment. Most of it was
through solid rock. This will reduce the
depth of water in the lake just four feet
and supply that quantity for immediate
use by the valley farmers. Later in the
season the intention is to put gate in
the cut and it is expected the water in
the lake, which by the way, comes from
some mysterious source not vet discov-
ered will then again rise to the original
level of the basin, to be again utilized by
raising the gate another season when the
water supply Is short.
The mayordomos feel much pleased
with the result of their experiment thus
far, and the local public will watch with
interest further demonstration of their
theory that the lake will soon be refilled
after the water gate is placed in position.

We would like to say word regarding
the statements of the Albuquerque papers
as to the removal of Fort Wingate. The
statement is made that there is so little
left that it will cost no more to rebuild
the whole post at Albuquerque than to
repair the damage done at Fort Wingate
by the fire of last week. That is not so.
The property left standing at Wingate is
worth five times that which was DESTROYED.
Entirely apart from that is the fact that
army posts are not established for the
purpose of furnishing social feature to
our cities, but are for far more practical
purposes. We desire that the fort shall
remain in its present location not for
show purposes, but because it is situated
just where it ought to be, within a days
ride of either the Navajo or Zuni reser-
vations. 1t may be all very nice to talk
of the society value of post if located at
Albuquerque, but the people of the
United States are not paying the xpenses
of an army post for that purpose. No!
If Wingate were not needed for the pro-
lection of our local interests, and the
safety of our citizens, we would gladly
work for the location of the post at AL
buquerque.-Gallup Cleaner.
