city and San Francisco by purchasing
small bills of goods on credit. He carried
letters with which he was always enabled
to carry out his schemes.
James Kendall, the coffee merchant, is
one of the men lately swindled. He says
he did not know that he was being
marked for some time after his dealings
with the man.
The man carried off goods amounting to
S35. In due course of time Mr.. Kendall
looked for remittance from Sobrante.
As it did not put in an appearance, he
went out to look the man up. There he

SOLVING WATER PROBLEM.
Excellent Condition of santa Fe's
Water Plant Hydraulic Work on
the New Dam Progressing

New MEXICAN scribe had pleasant
and interesting chat with Capt. S. H.
Day, superintendent of the Santa Fe
Water & Improvement company, this
morning.
Capt. Day says that the plant of his
company is in better condition than ever
before at this season of the year. The
large reservoir or lake in the mouth of
Santa Fe canon is even full of pure water,
while year ago at this time the water in
the reservoir was eight feet below the
top of the dam or the present level. The
small reservoir on the hill, used to supply
power for the electric plant of the COM
pany, has also been raised and dressed up
and other Improvements made prepara-
tory to the closing in of winter.
Capt. Day also says that the surplus
water in the reservoir is being utilized
in hydraulic work on the new dam north
of the federal building. This will be
continued until the ground freezes and
renders it impractical Then in the early
spring the work will be pushed by both
the hydraulic method and by teams, and
he anticipates having the dam completed
in time to save the food waters in July
and August. The new reservoir will be
used exclusively for irrigatlng purposes.

The Roswell Extension,

1t is expected that money will soon be
raised for the extension of the Pecos Val
ley railway from Roswell, N. M, to con-
meet with the Atchison, Topeka d Santa
Fe at point called Washburn in Texas.
The proposed extension would give the
Pecos valley close connection with the
east, but it would bring it very little
nearer than it is now to this part of the
Rocky mountains. 1t is hoped that the
time is not far distant when this road will
be extended northward to connect with
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe at Las
Vegas or some other point in that part
of New Mexico.-Denver Republican.
