THE JUAREZ PROTEST.
Text of the Councils Protest Against
the Upper River Dams.

formal and ofticial 'sto" protest recent, oa I'll,
f adopted by the Juarez city council:
Through channels worthy of credit
the municipal council of this city has
notice that at point immediate to Las
Cruces, New Mexico, county of Dona
Ana, company has commenced build
ing a dam which it will call Elephant
Butte dam, with the object of restrain
ing the waters of the Rio Bravo, to
utilize them during the year in agricul-
tural operations. THE council means
the Salden dam.
Tine building of this new dam at
tacks the rights which this town has
acquired for over two centuries, upon
the waters of the Rio Bravo; it is an
Infringement upon the treaties which
the United States has confirmed with
the Mexican republic, and threatens
extinction to the POPULATION bordering
the right bank of said river.
Eminent jurisconsults after a con-
| scientious study of the question of the
| waters OF the Bravo, have declared,
basipg their opinions on principles of
international right, that Mexico has an
indisputable right to enjoy half of the
waters of the river mentioned: on which
account this municipal council holds it.
self relieved from the obligation Of
proving the rights of this city to part
of said waters.
st is now ten years that the Mexican
river populations have lacked the bene-
it's which our government desired to
bestow upon the people in perfecting
the treaties with the United States,
owing to the fact that in the state of
Colorado and the territory OF New Mex
leo there have been opened more than
three hundred irrigatipg canals which |
take the greater part of the water of
the Bravo, with no regard whatever to |
said treaties, disregarding the voice of |
justice and impeaching the principles |
of international right.
And il. with no regard for this, it is
still sought to divert the small qusnti-
ty of water which in times of freshet
come down through the river, without
the complete ruin of the
Mexican river towns; because with the
of the Elephant Butte
dam, will come the death of the agri-
culture of our frontier. and as the i'm
mediate consequence its depopulatlon,
since four fifths of the property holding
population are cultivators of the soil,
and being deprived of the principal
element of life, they will emigrate to
where they can find means OF subsis-
tence.
"Through such considerations, and
because it is duty OF the municipal
legitimate interests of this city, in ses-
sion has agreed to protest, as in fact it
does protest, in the most energetic and
solemn manner against the construc-
ton of the Elephant Butte dam in
view of its belief that it will trample
Under foot the rights of this people to
the waters OF the Rio 'Grande river.'
