albuquerque Journal Democrat.)
The section between the mouth OF the
ditch and the lower headgates, some
what more than a. mile in length, is now
under construction and is beginning to
show form and loneliness. The ma
chimes have a capacity Of 1000 cubic
Yards a day. The first section Will at
tain am average depth of Z feet, and as
the mean width Is 27l2 feet, this
something like 10000 cubic yards of
earth to be excavated. The work of he
machines, however, is ably supplement-
ed by a large number Of slip scrapers.
The average depth Of the greater length
of the canal will be 5 feet.
Soundings are being taken i'm the river
and on the east bank, at the site OF the
dam, to determine at what depth stable
support cam be secured for the struc-
ture, In the middle Of the river q feet

was encountered, but as a rule solid

1t would appear that Engineer Har-
roun has solved all the problems likely
to be encountered by promoters of sci
entifc methods of irrigation in the ter
iitory. To devise means of controlling
the shifting sands, turbulent floods n
silt laden waters of the Rio Grande Is
no easy task, but it has been accom-
plished so thoroughly as to not only
render certain the conquest of all en-
gineering difficulties in connection with

promoters Of future or now pending IT.

The structure is to be 300 feet. The wa
ter will thus be backed up to the canal,
and when the upper headgates are
opened will flow into the canal. The
second gates r placed a mile further
down. BY careful experimentation it
has been found that practically all the
| slit carried in the water will be depos-
rted within this distance. From the
lower gates a tail race will lead to the
river, and as often as necessary the mile
section between the gates may be
flushed and the silt which has collected
washed back into the river. BY an ar
rangement of sluice ways the accumu-
lated silt in the bed of the river above

which will be overcome the most serious

The road that leads to that mystic land
Is strewn with pitiful wrecks,
And the ships that have sailed for its shining
strand
Bear skeletons on the decks.
1t is further at noon than 1t was at dawn
And further at night than at noon;
oh, let lis beware OF the land down there
The land of Pretty Soon!
The ignis fatuus of statehood has once
again set it's deceptive light above the
Potomac marshes, and, as easily lured
as of old, the southwestern landsmen
are once more steering for its htful
glim, all needless of the dark ana
~treacherous currents Of politics that
sweep between them and the goal. Del
egate Pedro Perea, interviewed in
Washington last week, declared MS
chief ambition to be to see New Mexico
admitted to statehood during his term.
A year ago, fresh from the election, he
declared his emphatic purpose to
achieve it, an evidence that he is con-
sistent, at least publicly, on this policy.
Now will come the Deming Headlight,
the Ration Range, the White Oaks Eagle
and probably a dozen others, Democrat
ic and Republican, covertly limiting of
undetermined schemes and double deal
ing dark. The governor is really not for
statehood, these sheets will suggest. Mr..
Catron does not ant 1t; Perea does not
want it; it is being stabbed in the back
by the Democrats; the Mexieans are
knitting 1t, the Americans are opposed to
it; secret influences are arrayed to
fight it; the gold bugs won't listen, the
Beers are hostile, Queen Victoria is fer
ninst, General Otis objects, Aguinaldo
is rampant, while the man in the moon
slyly looks down upon it with disfavor.
Are these sheets right? Do the public
men of this territory, big or little, de-
serve the imputations these hyper-intel-
ligent journals cast on them? Taking
these papers word for it, every govern
or we have ever had, every delegate we
have had, while nearly all favored
statehood in the open, gladly opposed
it in the dark. Political platforms in
New Mexico, according to that cor
DDIdkS sudIu vi Oil ~
are written in lighter vein with erasible
ink, and mean nothing when they de-
mand, as they have uniformly demand
ed, the early admission of our territory
to the Union.
The Index believes those sheets are
off" 1t believes that as fair a quantl-
ty of public honesty is to be found acre
as in other parts Of the country. WHAT
ever opposition there is to statehood in
New Mexico is to be seen ON the sur
face, or if secret, Ear at least be deter
mined by reasonable methods. The open
opposition Is not very considerable, es-
timated either by public sentiment or
by the actions Of the newspapers re-
ferred to, which succeed in doing many
things better than in rejecting public
sentiment.

STATEHOOD PRETTY SOON"
The Ancient Song Again to the FrontIn All It's Pristine Glory Now That
the Session Of Congress Approximation Long, OLord'--
A Golden Opportunity Of Politics.

The darksome currents of antagon-
ism are at Washington. From year to
wear the two great parties, first one,
then the other, have held out promises
of action, and every time have broken
them. Since 1892 the excuse has been
the fear of adding to the silver states,
the assumption being that New Mexico
as a state would elect a Democratic leg
islature, congressman and two Demo-
| cratic senators. Congress will be Ike
publican in both branches his winter,
and this fear, if well grounded, would
now operate strongly against admission.
The people of none of the states had to
get down ON the knees or sign an abdl-
cation of principles in order to gam
statehood. Neither, We opine, Will the
people of New Mexico for a minute con-
slider such a course. But is any assur-
ance necessary to the Republican par
w? 1t pretends to stand to-day as the
party of national extension of territory;
Mr.. McKinley's policy is that of action.
Where can action, expansion, progress

New Mexico to the government? The
elections Of 1898 threw the territory,
horse, foot and dragons into the Re-
publican camp. both Legislative
branches being overwhelmingly of that
party. From whence come the fears
that rise like a specter before the par
ty leaders, that they seem to hesitate to
grant to their own countrymen just ana
lightful privileges?
In all respects New Mexico is to-day
equipped for statehood. This is a fact
known of all men, and it is useless to
enter into details. The blessing has
been promised the people time upon
time. 1t must be written with shame
that political parties have stultified
themselves and gone fairly back on ma
tional platforms to refuse justice to this
territory. The hope has been held out
and never fulfilled. Our people tire of it
at last. All the best citizens, the daily
papers, all the weeklies except the ba-
ker's dozen above mentioned, and all

vor Of statehood. Failing of success this
winter, there should be formed in every
county Of the territory a league for the
promotion Of statehood. Such a league
should keep track of the officials who
aid the measure, and when statehood
comes it should reward those who
brought about the result, and a%nnihilate
any who opposed it. New Mexico's well
fare is above everything else, and state
hood is it's name.
However, the real time for statehood
has just arrived, and the way. The only
question is, Are the Republicans alert
enough to grasp the occasion, or will
they force New Mexico historians to add
one chapter more to the tale of the
famous achievements in The Land of
Pretty Soon?"

NEW MEXICO SANITARIUMS.
Sunny, bright days mark the winter
season, which, until Christmas at least,
is quite as delightful as the glorious
summer, though crisp and cool. Even
the spring months in Santa Fe cannot
be equaled for mildness in any eastern
state. While hundreds Of tourists visit
the city in summer and make a more or
less protracted stay, the number who
come to remain permanently for the Gu
rative effect upon tuberculous diseases
is all the while increasing. The proper
ton of the latter will be undoubtedly
enlarged in consequence Of the indorse-
ment given New Mexico's climate by
the United States marine hospital serv-
ice, which has in 1899 established two
permanent s%anitariums in the territory,
and will maintain them as homes for
soldiers and sailors afflicted or threat
ened with tubercular troubles. Many
years of life at New Mexico army posts
and a careful examination by experts
led the authorities to take this action
in the interest Of military invalids, and
it is also intended to remove to New
Mexico consumptive inmates OF soldiers
homes in California and eastern states
Favorable conditions exist all over
New Mexico for restoration to health or
for improving the condition Of such SUI
ferers; a dry, aseptic air, light atmos-
pheric pressure, we'll drained soil, a
minimum of cold and heat, the absence
Of great changes In temperature and a
maximum of sunshine.
