COLD STORAGE COMPANY
Will Establish Houses In All Mexi-
can tiles

Cold storage houses will be estab-
lished in majority of the prominent
cities of the republic of Mexico with
in the next two years if the present
plans of the new Mexican Mining and
Development company materialize. A.
S. Witherbee of Milwaukee, Wis, one
of the organizers of the company, ar
rived in the city yesterday and will
remain for several weeks.
We have secured very important
concession from the government
granting us the privilege of controlling
the cold storage business of the entire
country and it is our expectations that
within two years not less than $16,-
,00o, American currency, will be ex-
pended in establishing quarters and
erecting buildings in all parts of the
country. The need of such an enter
prise in Mexico is becoming more i'm
perative each year. Thousands of dol
lars worth of fruit is going to waste
every month which might in season
be purchased at a small cost and if
preserved until other periods of the
year be disposed of at a handsome
gain. There is not such an institution
in the republic and our expectation is
to see that a cold storage service is al
so introduced on the railroads. Mex
lean fruit is IN great demand and if
properly cared for and shipped would
command splendid prices in the Uni
ted States. Two Republics.

FUNDING FOR FARMS
Is Entirely Practical In the Mo
6rande Valley.

Professor Arthur Goss of the Agri-
cultural college at Mesilla Park has
issued the following bulletin:
In view of the scarcity of water in
the river in the lower Rio Grande val
ley for several years past, it was
thought that aStudy of the well waters
of the valley would be of Importance
from the standpoint of irrigation. 1t
has come to a point where means must
either be provided for storing the river
water. pumping resorted to, or agri-
culture to a great extent abandoned.
1t seems to the writer that before any
serious thoughts are entertained of
abandoning agricultural operations in
the valley. the plan of pumping from
wells to tide over periods of scarcity
of water in the river should be given
a thorough trial. OF course. pumping
is an expensive operation. and should
only be used as supplementary to the
river. and on crops yielding a large
return for a given area.
During a recent visit to California.
the writer saw number of pumping
plants in operation as source of wa
ter for fruit trees. where the condi-
lions would seem to be much less fav-
orable than IN the Mesilla valley. In
some cases water was being pumped
seventy-five feet or more. and applied
to land of much less natural fertility
than that of the Mesilla valley. In
this portion of the Rio Grande valley.
water can be found nearly anywhere
within ten or twelve feet of the sur
face. Then again. the Mesilla, valley
has n decided advantage over Cali
fornia in being considerable nearer the
eastern markets.
One or two pumping plants of con-
siderable size have already been put
in the valley. and the results secured
| from these should be watched with in
terest by our farmers.
So far as the composition of the
we'll waters of the valley is concerned.
the analysis show that the water suit
ablef or irrigation can be had in most
places in the valley. The well waters
are not so desirable for irrigation as
| the river waters because they do not
contain the sediment. and consequent
| ly not SO much plant food as is pres
ent in the muddy river water, and be-
sides they contain somewhat more al
kali. AS a rule. however. the amount
of alkali present in the well waters
| is not sufficient to be especially OBJ
| jectionable. The alkali present is us
ually of the white kind, though in a
| few cases in Las Cruces. in wells in the
vicinity of the Methodist church. south
the water was found to contain some
sodium carbonate.

TOMBSTONE WELCOMES
The travelling Represe ntative OF the
El pdso Cha NIB of Commerce.
From The Tombstone ProSpector:

thc TO'p ttof-
Major s. NJ. Davis of Ell Paso. is a
Tombstone visitor. The major is
touring the southwest on behalf of the
Ell Paso chamber of commerce and do
ing some good work enlisting the CO.
operation of all interested in the devel-
opment of the resources of the west.
with a view OF securing a representa-
tive mineral exhibit of the mining de-
velopment of the southwest for the
chamber of commerce at FL Paso. to-
gether with all data and information
which may be used in bringing same
to the attention of capital and invest
ors. Ell Paso is centrally situated, be
ing in the heart of and tributary to
the richest mineral country IN the west
hence an attractive point for tourists.
The mineral display with the chamber
of commerce has been productive of
most beneficial results and that pro-
gressive body has now extended it's
field to include the southwest. Ar
rangements are made to accommodate
exhibits of mineral specimens from ev-
cry mining section within their out
lined field. and Arizona can avail her
self of the opportunity offered. 1t is
announced that anyone DESTROYS of
sending specimens may do SO at the
expense of the chamber of commerce.
Major Davis is an enthusiastic worker
and awakening much interest on his

STORAGE RESERVOIRS
At Headquarters Furnish Better
Protection Than LeveeS Lower
Down

| The history of the levee construction
| on the Mississippi river has been a
| long and expensive one. The first
levee was begun in 1717, which was,
when completed. one mile long, erect
ed to protect New Orleans, then a mere
village. This levee was four feet high
and eighteen feet across at the top.
1t was not. however. until after Louis
| lana had been coded to the United
States that levee construction was be-
gun on a large Scale-an enlarged and
systematic scale. AS the work progress
sed up the rived and additional basins
and bottoms were enclosed. the levees
necessarily increased in height The
average height of the ieveeS in Louis
lana, above New Orleans. is now be-
tween twelve and thirteen feet and
this height proved insufficient in the
great flood of 1897. This flood indi-
Gates to the official engineers that
three or four feet additional will be
required.
Heavy Government Appropriations
Millions and millions of dollars have
| been appropriated by the federal gov
eminent for the building of these
levees and other constructions intend
ed to protect the surrounding country
from floods, and millions more must
be appropriated by every congress to
come unless other steps are taken to
prevent tneSe HOOQS- IneSe measures
of the government are merely pallia-
tive; they do not go to the root of
the evil. The report of Captain Hiram
Chittenden. of the government engin-
eer corps, however. shows that there
| is way to strike at the trouble itself,
and largely prevent the floods instead
of trying to enclose them between
banks after they have become such.
Federal Storage.
He shows in his official reports that,
by the building of aseries of great
storage reservoirs at the headwaterS
of the Missouri, floods can be prevent
ed through the diverting of the ex-
cess of waters into these artificial
lakes. Surely this is something for
congress to give its attention to. Here
is a practical plan. An ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure. Con-
gress will go ahead appropriating mil
| lions every session for flood preven-
ton without question, but it will
not appropriate the same amount for
plan, which, according to the gov
ernment's own engineers, promises
far greater esults. OF course, the stor-
ing of these reservoirs would mean
| the reclamation of large tracts of land
to irrigation; but this need not worry
| congress, even its eastern members,
for the eastern merchants are already
alive to the situation, and realize that
the reclamation of the arid west would
open to them the finest market in the
world. Guy E. Mitchell.
