Free From Fake Companies.

The action of Governor Murphy of
Arizona in showing up some of the dis
reputable mining stock schemes in that
territory is being generally commend
ed by the investing public. New Mexi-
co is singularly free from fake stock
companies, and no worthless mining
stock is hawked on the streets of the
cities or offered for sale in large blocks
to gullible investors abroad. Prospec-
tors are not Offering anything that is
not in condition for a steady output if
worked, and promoters seem to have a
more honorable idea of the business
than that of roping in suckers on cheap
stock schemes. The New Mexico pro-
moters go direct to the eastern invest
ors with the peroperty, and do not first
organize companies for the purpose of
selling stock. Legislation has a great
deal to do with the situation, and the
Republican party has endeavored to
protect foreign investors against ire
sponsible manipulators. 1t can be said
to the credit of New Mexico that there
is not a known fake mining company
operating in the territory.

The Canadian Trouble,

The attempt of Canada to infringe on
United States rights and establish a
protectorate over United States terri
tory in Alaska is straining the friendly
relations between Uncle Sam and his
back-door neighbor to such an extent
that var between the Canadian police
and United States miners and settlers is
confidently looked for. OF course, Eng
land will not sanction such a thing on
the part of Canada, but 1t Is not thought
that she will attempt to take her unruly
offspring to task for its unwarranted
and reckless assumption. Canada has
no more right to establish ports in
Alaska than to create a port on this
sic of the great lakes or to erect a fort
on the Mississippi. That Canada imag-
ines 1t can make war on the United
States and get away with the bluff Is
the most ridiculous thing imaginable.
The lesson taught the infant scion of
British nobility by the Fenians should
them to reflect what the conse-
quences will be IL the United States
grants settlers the right of protecting

The effect of the disloyal utterances
of Bryan and the anti-imperialists of
the United States is decidedly notice
able in the Philippines. Their work is
p%rolonging the war and costing the
United States much treasure and many
lives. But for the hope that Bryan will
be the nominee of the Democratic party
for the presidency, and hat he will be
the means of inducing the United States
to relinquish its hold on the islands, the
war would be settled ere this. Aguinal-
do admits that the struggle is hopeless

themselves and does not quash an at
tempt of heavy investors in Alaska to
organize forces for their own protection.
The United States will not sanction war
with Canada, for the same reason that
England will not lend aid to the Ca
nucks in their position. But ~filibuster-
ers from the United States can make it
mighty unpleasant for the Canadian po-
lice, and the matter will not be settled
for some time if a pitched battle occurs
between the %contending forces. The
two great powers will, eventually, settle
the matter through diplomatic chan
nels, but meanwhile, if the Canucks do
not desire a sound thrashing at the
hands of the hired forces of American
capitalists and the United States set
tiers, it would be a good idea for them
to pull in their horns. War with Eng
land could mean but one thing-the con-
quest of Canada. England has not
enough forces for protection to Canada,
and her troubles in the Orient will pre-
vent her from sending the necessary
troops. The coast defenses of the Cana
dian side of the great lakes is ineffi-
cient for warfare with the United
States. England is not foolish enough,
in view of the rapidly increasing friend
ship between the two countries, to per-
NIT Canada to draw her into serious
difficulty, and only a long-drawn guer-
rilla warfare without the sanction of
either government can be looked for if
matters grow worse.

thorough drainage. This is indicated by
the low actual content in the uplands,
and also by observing the alfalfa and
trees near the drainage bitches, which
have already been constructed. We
have found practically no black alkali,
which is Identical with washing soda;
in fact, it is only on very special condi
lions that it can exist in the presence
of such considerable quantities of gyp-
sum as these soils contain.
1.-THE alkali here consists of a mixture
Of common salt, EPSON salts,
salts and gypsum. The so-called black
alkali here probably contains the larg-
est amounts of EPSON and
salts, and the black color is due to it's
action on the vegetable matter present.
The action of these salts in blackening
the vegetable matter is similar to that
of the black alkali, and the effect of the
white alkali on plants is also similar to
thai Of the black, in that both kill the
plants when they reach a sufficient con-
centration.
"We know nothing at present which
can be applied to the soil to chemically
counterfeit the alkali. The process of
surface flooding, as sometimes prac-
ticed here, is also Of doubtful value, so
that there seems to be no satisfactory
method but that of flooding the land
and allowing the water to soak down,
carrying the alkali with it, and then
providing ample under drainage for car
rying off this water. We have found
water in drainage bitches here carrying
nearly four times as much solid matter
as the water in the irrigation ditch
which supplied the land.
"Of course, tile drains will be best, If
the tile can be obtained cheaply enough,
and should be laid at least 8 feet deep.
| Where open drains are used they should
be 6 feet deep if possible, and probably
200 yards apart for a trial, putting in
one or more between these if experience
shows it to be necessary.
! Concerted action among the farmers
is very necessary in draining, since
when a man uses too much water and
gets his own land subirrigated the dam
age is not confined to his place, but he
is liable to injure other men, whose
lands lie below his, even several miles
away.
"The division of soils of the depart
ment Of agriculture will issue a bulle-
tin some time next spring, giving the
details of the results Of the work done
here. This bulletin, when published, can
be gotten by application to the division
of soils, Washington, D. c."

TOO MUCH WATER
A Government Expert Says That Trouble
Results from Too Liberal Irrigation
in New Mexico.

Professor J. d. Tinsley, Of the agri-
cultural college at Mesilla Park, and a
corps of experts from the agricultural
department at Washington, have been
for several weeks studying soil condi-
tons at Roswell. The result of their OBJ
servations has been summarized and
given out for publication as follows:
THE irrigating waters here are of
good quality" said Mr.. Tinsley, land
in themselves, when properly applied,
are not a source of injury to the land.
The trouble is that having an album
dance of water, it has been applied too
freely.
1.-The virgin upland soils contain con-
siderable alkali in some places, in others
very little. Very little of the cultivated
upland soil contains an injurious
amount of alkali; because when the soil
is cultivated and water applied, it hay
ing good drainage, the water washes
the alkali into the soil and it is carried
off in the drainage water. The sub-soil
here allows water to move literally
through it quite easily; this is especial
ly true when it consists Of or contains
large quantities of gypsum.
when water is applied to this soil it
soaks down until it reaches this layer,
which also has a great capacity for alb
sorbing water, then it begins to pass
toward the lowest ground. The soil of
which the ditch branches are made is
rather porous, so that there is consid-
cradle seepage from the bitches.
"The evaporation from the surface of
the soil Is great, and the capillary at
traction is continually bringing up wa
ter and with it the alkali in solution to
the surface, when the water evaporates
and the alkali Is left, constantly in
creasing in amount, until in the course
Of time an amount sufficient to prevent
the sprouting Of seeds or growth of
plants is accumulated there.
The uncultivated lowland in nearly
all cases contains the greatest amount
of alkali. On cultivated land each irri-
cation, Of course, carries down a GER
tain amount of the alkali from the sur
face, but the water table Is so near the
surface q or 3 feet in most cases) that
it is Immediately brought back by evap-
Grafton. On the lowest lands, in the
draws especially, there has been a con-
slant accumulation of seepage water, so
that the water table is now very near
the surface, and in these the tule plants
flourish. From these facts it Is evident
that the way Of getting rid of this seep-
age water and with 1t the alkali is by

lust Recognition.

In making selections for officers in
the new regiments destined for service
in the Philippines the preference is
given:
ITO officers of the volunteers who dis
tinguished themselves in action during
the Spanish war.
ITO officers of the regular army who
have earned, but have not yet received,
promotion for conspicuous service at
the front during the Spanish war.
ITO volunteers of the Spanish war
who did not get to the front, but whose
efficiency reports while in camp show
them to be competent to command
troops"
The recognition of and compliment to
the volunteers is especially gratifying
from the wild and woolly'' is a matter
of extreme pride to those residing be-
tween the Pacific slope and the Mis-
souri, river. In Cuba, the New Mexico
and Arizona troops carried off the palm
for bravery, and in the Philippines the
Colorado, Montana and Kansas regi-
ments distinguished themselves. 1t is a
wise idea to rive the heads of COM
mands to experienced army officers, and
no more than right that the volunteers
should be recognized for their extraor-
binary department and GOODNESS while
in action. The days of the "tin soldier"
have passed, and no one will henceforth
refer in sighting tones to the militia or
volunteer forces. The young men Of the
United States have demonstrated that
they are willing to lay down their lives,
and no more car be asked. In some in
stances they may lack discretion and
experience, but bravery never.

Wall street financiers are responsible
for a rumor that the Vanderbilts are to
extend the Union Pacific from Salt
Lake to Los Angeles, and that the
PENNSYLVANIA Central and the Santa Fe
are to be combined. AS the Santa Fe
has a line from Los An"eles to San
Francisco, this would give the system
entrance to the chief port of the Pa
cifc. But all this may be a bluff to
secure the Central Pacific from Ogden
to California. Any way, Hoggish Hunt
ington is not to long hold the Pacific
state in the hollow Of his hand. The
Vanderbilt people are the strongest fac
tor he has ever had to face.
