THE ENQUIRER.

The Enquirer assumes that the
JOURNAL has heaped abuse upon
the water commissioner and super
intendent. This is not SO. The
JOURNAL gives Frank Goad credi,
for doing just the best he knows
how as superintendent. And
what We said last week was gained
from trustworthy sources and is
not gainsaid by the Enquirer un-
less to say you lie" is refutation
OF what was said. The JOURNAL
did not accuse Frank Goad of
trying to keep the state engineer
away from the Union people when
he was here. 1t sald none of the
officers were notified of his coming
and that is true. The Enquirer
says Mr.. Goad telephoned to Cen
tervIew for Mr.. Miles and hearing
that some OF the Union people
were in Del Norte, he hired team
and drove to that place to find
them.
As n matter of fact the Union
people "heard' that the state en-.
eineer had gone 10 Del Norte aud
they chased up there and found
him.
The Union people say that while
the water borrowed was turned
into the river, no more water
passed into their ditch than they
were otherwise entitled to receive.
MIR. Goads paper cannot make it
appear that the Union people have
been fairly dealt with by the water
commissioner this season.

SUBCONSCIOUSNESS.

Those who have made psychic
phenomena study, say that man
has conscious and n sub-conscious
mind-the former is the power
which the mind has of knowing
itself or realizing sense of what
trnnspires under mans observs-
ton; the latter is Il thinking,
reasoning and acting mind of
which man seldom becomes con-
scious.
The sub conscious mind never
sleeps and never loses itself, but
is always alert TO preserve and
care for the body. There are
many phenomena that 20 to prove
the duality of the human mind.
An instance occurred last Fri
day that may he explained upon
the hypothesis of this duality:
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon
MS John III. Stone, who lives on the
Experimental farm, was about to
enter the gate at Jas. A. Kelley's
place two miles east, he received
violent shock of electricity which
stunned him and from which he
became wholly unconscious. In
this unconscious condition he
mounted his horse, rode home, put
his horse in the stable, closed and
fastened the door, and then went
into his honse-his face and cloth
ing covered with mud-and asked
his wife what had happened TO
him. Mrs. Stone dlscoved some
thing was wrong and suggested
sending for the doctor, to which
Mr.. Stone objected, saying he
would coon be all right.
DR.. Parrish was, however, sent
for and it was 8 o'clock that night
before Mr.. Stone recovered con-
sciousness, and then he said he
remembered touching the gate at
Mr.. Kelley's and after that all was
a blank.

WAR with Spain for which the
volunteers took up arms has long
since ended, Con ,ress has not de-
clared war against the Filipinos
nor voted money to carry on a
foreign war of conquest. Our
arms are not adding glory TO the
flag, but instead are staining that
starry emblem of freedom with
the blood aud tears of a people
fighting for the right of self gov
ernment. The soldier is not to
blame. Therefore, when he falls
in such q war his bier should be
draped in deepest mourning and
drenched with the tears Of his
fellow countrymen.-Bob Ineersoll

Land office at Del Norte, and after that
time we completed onr survey and estl-
mate OF the cost Of such undertaking
and had the work done by one Of the
most careful and expert engineers in the
state, who reported to the RIO Grande
Reservoir Il Ditch Company that such
undertaking would cost $4,000 proyid-
ed we did not build dam, and simply
utilized the natural lake, but il we built
n dam so as TO utilize the entire possible
capacity. 1t would cost Slso,OOO and up
wards (the cost OF the dam depending
upon the depth to which we would have
TO excavate IN order to reach bed rock
upon which to place the damn. II VIVA
found that by constructing IA dam We
could only impound about l0CC0 acre
feet OF water, or enough to water 10000
acres once, milking no deduction for loss
by way OF steepage and evaporation in
conducting the water from the lake to
tho head OF the Rio G.ande Canal. Up.
on receiving this information we imme-
diately dropped the PROJECT and frankly
80 stated to the representatives OF the
Farmers Union Ditch Co.. so that since
That time there has been no reason, 70
far as we were concerned. why the Far
mers Union Ditch Co. could not proceed
with the completion OF the reservoir in
such way as they might deem advisable.
We did not interfere with the Farmers
Union Ditch Co., but took possession Of
the property. as We were first upon the
ground, and AS We had legal and per-
feet right TO do
