Counties.

Part of the above credited to Chaves
and Dona Ana counties is now in Otero
county and some of the Bernalillo coun-
ty land will be part Of Mckinley
county.
The Santa Fe land office had 14,0S9.-
OFT acres under its jurisdiction at the
time the report was made. For the
year embraced in the last report 536
land entries of all kinds were made at
the Santa Fe Office, covering AZ, l13
acres or only one-third per cent OF the
whole area.
That the greater part of the arid land
is adapted to agriculture is the belief OF
the surveyor general. He says: 1.-The
soils of the arid regions are remarkable
for their uniform character over large
areas. They are generally light in tex
ture and easily worked. All arid re-
gions have, therefore, in greater or less
extent, peculiar dust soils which have a
remarkable power of conserving water.
The soils of the arid regions are nearly
always strong calcaeous soils which as a
class. are recognized the world over as
being among the most fertile OF upland
soils. The active nitrogen content OF
the soils of the arid regions is very much
larger. These characteristics make the
soil easy to work, very retentive OF
moisture and stored with plant food.
These lands need comparatively little
water when irrigated and there is no
question of their productveness. 1t is
a very common experience that the
usual application of water is excessive.
Most of the trouble which has arisen
from the rise of alkali in irrigated dis
tricts could have been prevented by the
use of less water and by very thorough
cultivation. Water is all that is needed,
and of this precious element millions
and hundreds of millions OF acre feet are
annually allowed to go to waste, which
if stored and intelligently used would be
the means of supplying homes to mill
ions of settlers"

Pedro Baca formerly lived at Socorro
and for awhile was in Santa Fe. His
sisters and relatives have been seeking
his pardon on account of his i'll health
as they wished to bring him home to
die. He was a sufferer from stomach
trouble. The penitentiary warden ad-
vised his release, and Governor Otero
urged the Colorado governor to exercise
executive clemency. A hearing was
given and decision was deferred until
today. In the meantime a physician
was sent to examine the prisoner and
reported that he was not likely to die
soon. The young man was the only
member of the family at Socorro in bad
standing, and his trouble was due to
dissipation. He always claimed that
the crime was committed by compan-
ion, who was a notorious character.
Deceased was the nephew of Hon. Juan
Jose Baca,
