the waters flowing past Rio Grande
City at the head OF avigatton ls this
comparatively enormous water shed of
10000 square miles below Elephant
Butte, feeding with tropical rains the
Conchos and San Juan particularly,
rising far south in the mountains of
Mexico and flowing north Into the Rio
Grande, and also affordipg supply for
the Pecos, DEVILS River, the Good
Enough and other perennial streams,
as we'll as the decreased but still flow
ing waters of the San Felipe and
Salado, and at times filing with floods
the now dry beds of the former peren-
we'll as many smaller streams not
named.
(14) That the waters passing the
point where the defendants propose
to construct their reservoir, aud which
would be impounded therein for their
purposes, are so diminished by sink
Ing, seepage and evaporation that the
same do not reach the head Of naviga-
tion in appreciable quantity or contri-
butte substantially or to the naviga-
bility or to the navigable capacity
of the river at or below such
place.
(15) find from the evidence in the
case that the construction of the re-
servOir or reservoirs and the use of
the waters of the Rio Grande as pro-
posed sby the defendants would not
have 81 bstsntially diminished the ma
vigability at the time of the fling of
this suit, and will not substantially
diminish the same at the present
time.
SPECIAL FINDING AS TO COLORADO.
1 find that appropriations of the wa
ters of the Rio Grande have been made
during thu past sixteen years in the
state of Colorado for irrigation pur-
poses; that large amount of such wa
ter finds it's way back within said state
to said river; tn at from the evidence it
ia impossible to arrive at any definite or
probable conclusion as to what, If auy,
is now or has been at any time in the
past the effect of such diversions and
returns upon the usual flow of the
stream below in New Mexico, and that
the evidence does not establish any eff
feet whatsoever by reason of such said
diversions or returns upon the naviga-
BILE capacity of the river below Rio
Grande City or at any other point.

THE NEW INDUSTRIAL s9Hool
Named Baker Halt" in Honbr Of Judge
n.k. Baker Of this cjty.

The regular quarterly Meeting of the
Maine Industrial School for Girls wa.
held at the Office of the 4 institution
Wednesday afternoon. The regular rou
tine business was transacted. The Ntfrus
tees authorized the executive committee
to take such action as shall leaA to the re-
turn of the two girls who set fire to the
Flagg- Drummer hall, to the school pend
ing their trial.
Miss Ella F. Smith of Steuben, was en-
gagged as teacher to fill the place made
vacant by the resignation of Miss Alice
Sherman and recently filled temporarily
by Miss Berdena Brown.
The new building erected, last season.
was named Baker hall, for Judge Fl. X.
Baker of this city.
1t was the sense of the board that it
would not be wise or for the best inter
est of the school to turn it over to the
State, but that it should remain as a cor
poration on the same plan as in the past.
None of the trustees have ever received
pay for their services and some have been
on the board many years.
All three of the buildings have been
built almost wholly from gifts and be-
quests from friends, and there have been
in the school over 500 girls, most of whom
have been trained and fitted for useful
ness and a large percentage have turned
out well.

Fire and Police Departments Report.

The, reports of the fire and police de-
partments for the year 1898 compare favor
ably with the preceding years. In 1917,
$1,000 was raised to defray the general ex-
nense incurred by the fire department,
and 800 was raised to pay for the use
of telephone and fire whistle, making a
total of $780, the amount raised, last
year.
In 1898, only $500 was raised for general
expenses, with no provision being made to
pay for the fire whistle and telephone
which shows a difference of about 800
from 1897.
During the past year 500 feet of the best
Jacket hose has been purchased at cost
of $500. There was only eight fire alarms
during the year, an unusually small
number The amount of property endaa-
gered was valued at sl3.65O, and was in
sured for $780, Property was damaged to
the amount of $2659; insurance, 1884. The
total expense of running the fire depart
ment in 1897 was $3S6S.S6 in 1898, $36A.93;
unexpended balance, $27257.
The expense incurred in the police de-
partment during the year 1897. was $lS06.22.
In 1898 the expense was $l7SS26, but as
there was no provision made to pay the
deputy marshal for 90 days work, which
was due at the time he was taken from
the force, it was necessary to draw his
nav. which amounted to $34.52, from the
police department fund, and by SO doing
it brought the total expense up to $1S22. 1S.
These figures show the expense of 1898 to
be greater than during 1897 by $l656, but
giving credit for the $3i.52 paid to the
deputy marshal, it shows gain over 1897
