COODe
In the Chamber of Commerce Work
By q Man In Mexico.

Secretary Russell of the chamber of
has received the following
communication from J.. Schwingle,
who is well known in this city. 1t is
the sort of communication which
makes pleasant reading for the bust
ness men of this city who are giving
their time and money to carry on the
quiet but effective. work of the cham
Der of commerce toward developing
the resources of the city and
ing country. If there is any doubt
about the opinion held by people at
a distance in regard to the value of
such work as is being done by the
chamber of m this commune
cation from Mr.. Schwingle. written at
a place seven or eight hundred miles
from Ell Paso. should set at rest all
doubts. If people at h a distance rec
ognize and appreciate the benefits of
such organized effort surely the peo
pie of E Paso should recognize it and
should give it their hearty and unqual-
flied support.
Mr.. S%chwingle says:
Il see by The Herald hat more o
ey is needed by your body to meet its
varied expenses. You may put my
name on your rolls as a member of
the association. and call on II. B. Stew

RICH Y STRIFE.
In the Superior. and Water Also
Encountered.

Last Saturday a change in the ore
of the Superior mine, near Lordsburg,
was encountered at a depth of 361 feet.
The new find is rich streak of pea
cock copper running through the en-
tire width of the shaft. The property
has heretofore bee considered a low
grade proposition but this find puts a
different aspect on the situation and if
the quality of the new find holds out
the property will develop nj a high
grade proposition. The ore that has
been removed from the streaks as
says 20 per cent copper.
At the same level at which the pea
cock streaks were found a stream of
water was encountered and it is so
strong tina the workmen had to get
out and abandon the work. A meet
ing of the company will be held to-
morrow night for the purpose of de-
Gliding upon h steps to be taken In
regard to the new strike. 1t is prob
able that pumps will be ordered and
erected on re property to remove the
water as ON as possible.
This is the first water found in the
Superior and hence no pumps have
been placed in the mine. The strik-
ing of the water also marks an i'm
portant era in the property, as it is
badly needed in the development
work.

FL pAsO'S WATER QUESTION.

FL Paso cannot blind her eyes to the
fact hat the worst menace to her
growth is her ~unfavorable situation
with regard to sources OF permanent
and satisfactory water supply IL Is
true that within the las five years
there has been much Improvement
both in quality and quantity in the
supply furnished by the present COM
pany. There has also come about a
certain reduction in the rates WITHIN
the last few years. But even now the
uuality is such as to make il impossi-
BILE for some people to use it. and the
price is so high hat comparatively
few people can afford to use water
for the purpose of keeping a lawn or
trees in condition.
Ell Paso must have an abundant sup
ply of pure. soft. healthful water. at
such a price that all can afford to
have it. The water furnished at pres
ent is all right for fire purposes and
for flushing the sewers and sprinkling
the streets-uses that require an enor-
nous amount of water. much larger
than is generally supposed in proper
ton to the general water consumption
of the Whole city. But h people must
have pure soft water for drinking.
cooking. and washing.
1t is to be feared that the proposed
system of purifying by the use of
chemicals will not soon become popu-
lar. The system has its merits. not
the least of which is that of cheap
ness. but the prejudice in the minds of
the practice would lave to combat
would probably prevent its general use
in h ear future.
II is the opinion OF most men who
have given the subject any thought
that Ell Paso must find and utilize
some other source of a public water
supply than the wells on the river
bank All sorts of schemes have been
proposed Some people advocate the
distillation and aeration of city wa
manner of the distillation plants on
s~hipboard. Others suggest pipe lines
from the Sacramento mountains. or
even from points in Mexico south of
us Some believe that we could find
artesian water by patient searching at
great depths. But of all the schemes
that have been suggested. none seem
quite SO feasible as the establishment

Fort Bliss. to supply water for do

nestle purposes. even IL not for public
uses. There is no reasonable IL
that pure water in abundant quantity
can be developed on the mesa east of
the mountain. Even if 1t seemed ad-
visable to maintain the present sys-
tenn. n pipe the city in duplicate
for another kind of water. il Is lot i'm
probable that the project would pay
a good profit. particularly as in the
nature of things the newer parts of the
city. as they were Duilt up. would
be supplied almost exclusively with
the mesa water. so far as domestic
use was concerned. The present COM
pany might retain all it has. and yet
there would be room for another COM
pany to come into the field and level
op new sources and better water for
the Ell Paso of the future.
The problem is such a serious one
that it should engage the attention of
our best business men. A water COM

Letter in San Antonio Express.
The defeat of the amendment al
lowing some OF the counties in the
Panhandle to vote upon themselves. a
special tax for i~rrigating purposes.
shows plainly the cal n of
amending the constitution. | am not
criticising the trainers of our consti-
tuition for they framed it for an ideal
people. of which unfortunately we
have few. This was how some years
z when the people were voting sole
~ on a constitutional amendment.
One IN a stepped up to one of the vot-
ing places and said to- another man:
Scratch that mans name and put
Bryan Callaghan's name in his place"
This was done and the ticket dropped
in the box. Ridiculous as this seems
yet il gives us an iaea of the class of
voters that either amend or defeat our
amendments.
Why was the last amendment grant
ing irrigating privileges to those coun-
ties defeated? Because the voters that
voted against the amendment did not
understand it. At the box where |
voted. | heard several men. who were
intelligent. too. say they were going
to vote against it because they would
be taxed for the benefit of someone
else. Did the understand the purpose
of the amendment? Certainly not.
II is true hat the constitution re
quires that all amendments be pub
lished for several weeks in every coun-
ty in the state. Blu do all the voters
in the state take n paper? And what
per cent of the voters that do read IA
paper eve cad the amendments? 1t
is certainly small if we take how they
voted on the last amendment as a cri-
-
things he understands, for it is a GER
tain fact that a man will vote for ev-
erything on the ticket whether he I'M
d~erstands it or not.
Is there no remedy for this? |
could suggest several. Have a new
constitution formed. Since the form
ing of the constitution in 1875. il has
been patched so often that h con-
vention that formed il would not know
IL today.
If We are going to continue to patch
the old one. have placed on every bal
lot. in one short sentence. the pur-
pose of the amendment. Make the
language clear. SO that n man does
not have to- be a Solomon to under
stand it.
But better still. do away with so
many amendments. Let the legisla-
ture do more of the law making. 1t
is easier for the legislature &c repeal
a law passed by that body thar to
amend a bad amendment. Then again,
which is better, have a law passed by
the people. when perhaps not half of
them know why they voted for it;
than by a body of intelligent men.

THE JUDGES CHARGE
On the poiat Of Self Defense In the
Recent Pitt TIlaI

Many people who did not attend the
Pitt trial last Saturday night when
! the Judge delivered his charge to the
jury have manifested curiosity to
know how the court handled several
points in the case.
The evidence showed that Pitt shot
Hill after deceased started TO run
from his and even followed him up
and shot him through the temple.
On that point Judge Walthal charg-
ed the jury as follows:
If believe from the evidence
that defendant shot deceased in his
self defense then you are instructed
that defendant had a right to pursue
and shoot the deceased as long as it
reasonably appeared to defendant
that he was in actual Or apparent
danger of an attack o the deceased
but if at the time defendant inflicted
the wounds upon the defendant was
% in real or apparent danger from
deceased. then the killing would be
murder either of the first or second
degree. according to whether the same
was upon express or implied malice,
as hereinbefore defined in the charge
AS to threats Judge Walthall charg-
ed as follows: Where a defendant
accused of murder seeks TO Justify
himself upon the ground of threats
against his own life he is permitted to
introduce evidence of the threats made
if any, but the same shall not be re-
garded as affording a Justification for
the killing unless IL be shown that at
the time of the killing the person kill
ed by some act then done manifested
an intention to execute the threat so
made.
