The state of Colorado, says the New
Mexican, is at last awakening to the
scheme of Ell Paso soeculator5 to de-
prive New Mexico and possibly Colora-
do of water for irrigation purposes.
Governor Otero has fled with the state
department at Washington a vigorous
protest against the proposed treaty
with Old Mexico in regard to the
waters of the Rio Grande, showing
that such treaty would work ruin to
the agricultural interests of New Mex
leo, and urges that system of storage
reservoirs be constructed along the
river in order that large areas of land
may be brought under cultivation In
speaking of the subject. the Rocky
Mountain News says editorially:
The governor is rihgti u his position,
and in urging his views upon the state
department should have the active sup
port and cooperation of the state of
fcials and congressional delegation of
Colorado. 10 fact, Colorado is quite
as much interested in this question as
is New Mexico, fact heretofore point
ed out in these columns. The only diff
ference is that Colorado, being state,
Is In better position TO fight such d
treaty than is New Mexico, which is
still a terri tory. In any event il is a
matter OF doubt whether the federal
government can barter away such
rights to the waters of the Rio Grande
river as are possessed by the people of

hOwiug water Of the pow famous Hud-
son Hot Springs, prior to its con troll for
medicinal and irrigational purposes.
This spring was located by D. B. Lacy
in 1862, but was not improved until
purcha-ed by the we'll known New
Mexico pioneer, Dick Hudson, who for
years was crowded with guests seeking
relief from rheumatism, indigestion
and kidney troubles. etc. In 1891 Mr..
HudsOn's hotel burned down
Several years ago Mr.. A. r. Graha n
then a prominent banker of N braska
visited the springs and became salts fed
that a tirst-clsss hotel at that place
would be largely patroniZed and would
prove boon to the thousands of peO-
PIE who were suffering from diseases
that the waters of the spring would
cure. TIE climate a so was so mild
and temperate that the hotel could be
turned into a winter resort as well as
bathing place. Mr.. Grah ham succeeded
in purchasing the property from Col.
Hudson in 1894 and commenced his eX-

An Austin, Texas dispatch says: Col.
Bob Wilhanks, the eloquent CHI cago
lawyer physician, now visiting this
city, who has passed through the yell
low fever twice and has had much ex-
perience with the deugue, in speaking
of the two diseases today said that they
were 80 closely allied to each other
that it was hard to disti guish them
apart. Contin aing, Col. Wilbanks
said
"Dengue is TO yellow fever what

Mexico and COLORADO

New Mexico and Colorado.
The state department, whicl appears
to be under the influence of the Ell
Paso international dam scheme, may
negotiate such treaty. but We doubt
if it would ever be able to secure ra-
LITIGATION by the senate Co'orado's
interest in this matter lies in the fact
that no treaty can be made with Mex
leo affectiu O the Rio Grande waters in
New Mexico which will not also affect
the waters of the river in this state.
To permit the splendid agricultural in
dustry of the San Luis valley to be in
any way injured or circumscrioed in
order to please the republic of Mex
leo, or aid lot of Ell Paso specu a ors,
is something to which Colorado will
never consent"

The steadily increasing use of fer
tilizers is a matter to which the farm
ers should give the most thoughtful
consideration. They are now simply
wearing out their lands, and the time
will come. unless they change their
method of farming, when commercial
fertilizers will not be of much benefit
to them. Let them change their
method-that is, let them give more
attention to those crops by means OF
which they can build up their lands
and they will get better yields of cotton
every year, instead of poorer yields, as
they do now.
