THAT INTERNATIONAL DAN.
In the HERALD of the 18th appears
an article from the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat regarding the dam case"
Some of the material statements of the
Globe-Democrat are gross misrepre-
article states that during "Clevelsnd's
administration great English COM
pany was organized to dam the Rio
Grande 125 miles above Ell Psso," and
''sell water for irrigation 200 miles
down the river on the American sids."
Then further on: meantime at the
suggestion of Gen. Arson Mills, of 81
Paso, arrangements were commenced
looking towards an international dam
at Ell Paso." Further, 1.-THE English
company showed fight at once" etc.
ledge the English company never made
an American distinction in the sale
of water for irrigation purposes, but
on the con trary said that if the Next
can government would make suitable
arr6n gements they could and would
supply water to both sides of the river
clear 20 FIT. Quitmau below Ell Paso;
ia fact as far as there was any ir-
rigabIe land whose owners would pay
the water tax.
In the meantime, as every one
knows, the brilliant vision of an inter-
national dam was sprung upon Uncle
Sam and our Mexican sister before
1.-THE terrible English company,
backed by some titled gentlemen"
(who seem to be draw back was
ever talked and thought of. "The
English company showed fight from the
start" Yes, but it was not at the
start. Every sensible and unpre-
JUDGED man knows, If he has kept
track OF the case, that the English peo-
pie never started any fight with the
international company, as this state
ment would lead one to believe.
Rather, the International dreamers,
as soon as they saw q company which
proposed to7spend three or four millions
of good English gold and didn't
propose to dizzy up with them or as
sist them in pulling the leg of Uncle
Sam and our sister republic, there we
must blush) for few millions; or in
cidentally assist ia selling their con-
demned lands, which they bad grab
bed upon the strength of a tip, why
they raised upon their hind legs, paw
ed their ears, and proceeded to down
the English company.
All this talk about ternational COM
plications and navigable streams don't
