MEXICO WEDNESDAY, EVENING DECEMBER

sell the water thus impounded in
reservoirs to the farmers for 20O miles
down the valley on the American side.
The Mexican government claimed thu
scheme a violation of the Guadalupe
treaty and an injunction was filed on
the British company on behalf of both
countries.
In the meantime. at the suggestion
of General Anson Mills. negotiations
were commenced for building an in
ternational dam near nl Paso where
by the ancient water rights might be
equitably restored. The English COM
pany fought the government scheme.
The injunction obtained was dissolved
by the territorial courts of New Mex
leo, but the supreme court OF the Uni
ted States reversed the decision and
the case was re-opened before the
court at Las Cruces In governmental
defense.
The Rio Grande is classified as a
navigable stream and the claim ds
made that the English dam would i'm
pair the usefulness of the river.
Judge Burch is here to obtain proof
on this head and will appear for the
United States at Las Cruces on De
cember 12.

Something for Parents to Consider.

Parents read this to your boys and
girls.
Section 1,1S7 of the revised statutes
says:
Every person who shall wilfully
maliciously and wantonly, and with
out cause, cut down or destroy, or
otherwise injure any fruit tree or any
other trees not his own, standing or
growing for shade, ornamental or
other useful purpose, or cut off the
branches, shall be punished by i'm
prisonment in the county jail, not ex-
ceeding one year nor less than three
months; or by fine not exceeding two
hundred dollars nor less than twenty
five dollars"
Recently some malicious person
small or large, who has neither the
fear of God in his heart or respect
for the law or the rights of others
with malicious intent and without ar"
cause or provocation, has been cut
ting, hacking and mutilating the orna.
mental trees set out in front of the
residences of Messrs. Stearns and
Dick, and destroyed more in ten min.
utes than would grow in years. Such
niscreants should be arrested and Sc
verely dealt with and suffer the ex-
treme penalties of the law.
Now that we know that such con-
temptible incarnate devils are about
in the city, every law abiding citi-
zen shall consider himself a commit.
tee of one, to detect and apprehend
and bring to justice any one found
committing such misdemeanors.

RIO cRANDE DAM CASE.
An Attorney in Mexico City Looking
Up Proof of the NavigabiIity of
the River.

Chicago, Dec. GA special to the
Record, from the City of Mexico, says:
Judge Marsden c. Burch, of Grand
Rapids, Mich, arrived in the City of
Mexico today. He comes as special
counsel for the department of justice
at Washington on an errand relating
to the Rio Grande valley irrigation
dispute, the latter country having
filed claim for $2O,OO0,OOO damages.
The normal flow of the Rio Grande for
centuries has been sufficient for the
people on both sides adjoining. Dur
ing the last few years irrigation in
Colorado and New Mexico has con.
sumed so much from the headwaters
that the stream along the internation-
al boundary has been lowered pro-
portionately. Above and below Ell
Paso the ancient irrigation bitches are
now dry and fertile fields and orchards
are wastes. This is the basis of the
claim of Mexico.
The American government endeav-
ored to arrange the question on its
equities During President Cleve-
lands administration an English syn.
dicate started to dam the river at
Elephant Butte. 125 miles aboye 81
Paso, and thus control the water for
irrigation. The syndicate offered to

AN INTERESTING TALK.
Supreme Master Workman Kingsley
Addressed the Local Lodge Last
Night.

At the meeting of the A. o. U. w.
lodge last evening large number OF
members were present to greet Su
preme Master Workman Kingsley
ana to listen to his discourse on the
order.
Mr.. Kingsley Interestingly recited
the history of the order. its organi
zation and prosperity since. Tho
first promoter of the organization.
Father Upchurch. followed the idea
to organize an order of 1000 members
On the death of member each mem
ber contributed 81 or total of 81 900,
which went to his heirs. The order
grew until the amount was raised to
$4,000 and later resolution was
adopted fixing the beneficiary amount
at that sum regardless of the growth
of the order. Pennsylvania when
1000 members had been enrolled in
the state drew away from the grand
jurisdiction and formed jurisdiction
of her own. After this whenever a
jurisdiction numbered 1000 members
they were allowed to form an indie
pendent jurisdiction. Soon after a
big epidemic of yellow fever in the
south had demonstrated that the bur
den of Jurisdiction might be heavier
than the jurisdiction itself could
meet by reason of an epidemic, the
supreme lodge provided for the re
lief of any jurisdiction in such an
emergency.
Last fall the jurisdiction of New
Mexico and Arizona was formed and
since the .8th day of September 1000
new members have been added. Mr.
Kingsley believes that on account of
the extreme healthfulness of this jur-
isdiction that it can be made a six
assessment classified jurisdiction;
that is six assessments year, where
as Kansas is in the eight assessment
list. e
