INTERNATIONAL DAM
Discussed BY Congressman Stephens
BEFORE the Chamber Of Commerce.

Congressman John II. Stephens re-
turned from the Mescalero Apache res
ervation Saturday evening and by spe-
cial request attended a meeting of the
chamber of commerce Saturday night.
The meeting was called especially to
hear Mr. Stephens on the status of the
international dam situation. The irri-
CATION committee discussed them after
at length Thursday night and invited
Mr.. Stephens here to advise them on
what steps to take to advance the in
terest of the movement. He said that
the outlook for the passage of the bill
and signing OF the treaty was brighter
now than ever and he thought all could
be settled this winter.
Senior Aspiroz. minister from Mexico.
has signified the willingness of that
country to withdraw the Objectionable
features of the pending treaty and with
these objections eliminated the bill
can pass with little trouble. Mr.. Ste
phens urged the chamber of commerce
to send a representative to Washing
ton to work for the passage of the bill.
He says that it is necessary that some
one be there to answer all questions
and give all necessary information
about the conditions in the country.
He requests the people here to furnish
him all the data at hand and get the
people of Juarez to send him a like
document that the facts can be placed
before congress when demanded.
Mr.. Stephens seems more enthusiasts
tic than ever over the prospects of ear
ly settlement of the matter but wants
Ell Paso to keep wide awake and help
him. Senator Bate. of Tennessee. who
was in Ell Paso last week. has become
interested in the matter and will use
his influences in behalf of the treaty
and the bill.

MESCALERo RESERVATION
Is the Garden Spot OF New Mexico.
Says Congressman Stephens -
He Will Endeavor To Have the
Reservation Opened to Settle
ment At the Coming Session OF
Congress-

Congressman Stephens. who re-
turned from the Mescalero Apache
reservation Saturday night, says that
the reservation is the garden spot of
Mexico. He is preparing to introduce
n bill in the next congress for the open
ing of the reservation to settlement,
and visited the reservation in person
that he could see for himself the exact
state of affairs.
Il have seen all of New Mexico
said Mr.. Stephens. land the Mescalero
reservation is the richest part of the
entire country. The Indians have an
ideal country and have enough to give
homes to thousands who are now
homeless and | was delighted to find
them perfectly willing to do it. They
offer no objections to opening the res
ervation to settlement and seem to be
of the opinion that it would be an adj
vantage to them
Mr.. Stephens plan is to introduce a
bill for the opening of that and several
other reservations at the next session
of congress and if he succeeds he will
have done a lasting favor this
country. The Mescalero reservation is
in the immediate territory of FL Paso
and if opened will give homes to thous-
ands of families who will buy of Ell
Paso where there is now ont one.
This is the case with cities in New
Mexico and it is understood that this
bill will have the support of New Mex
leo colidly. Mr.. Stephens contends
that unless the Indians are thrown on
their own resources and made to min
gle with English speaking people they
will never become civilized to any
great extent. On the other hand if
they are thrown among Americans.
given the benefits of schools. churches
and other publis utilities. they will be-
come good citizens and not a burden to
the country.

N6111S England is the cutting and burn
ing Of the ule log, says the Chicago Trib-
utle. They carry the thing much fur
ther, however, even today, than the Sax
.sns, the famous lovers Of good Christmas
cheer, ever did. In the Black mountain
there is "great log for Christmas" and
there are smaller logs for each member OF
the family. -.
The Yuke log idea is traced to the fre
worshipers The wood must he cut be-
fore sunrise Christmas morning. The
head of the house, followed by his fam
lily, goes to some standing stump and
cuts it down. He then takes off his cap
to the log. turns toward the east, crosses
himself and offers up al prayer. Give tc
me aud to christmas abundantly. 0 God" p"
If a. !oS falls the wrong way, anothe,
must i>c cut. unless the family wishes tc
be unlucky iolap year. Smaller logs are
then cl1t for th. members Of the family.
The wond is drawn to the house and lean
ed agaip~t the wall, with the cut ends up
pernnost. If one By mistake is reversed
the whole thing must be done over again
OF else misfortune will come.
When the fire is lighted, there is great
joy in the household, but no one on any
account must speak OF witches after the
great log is put Oh the tirel>'ace. for they
are supposed to be flying around on
Christmas night as plentiful us sparks
There is a legend, and in fact belief:
in the Black mountain, of which researc4,
shows no trace elsewhere. Every fire
place has hanging in it, directly over the
blaze, great kettle chain. When a frc
is started, it takes. but few moments
for this chain to become highly heated,
On Christmas night, however. no matr1
how briskly burn the great logs, the iron
chain remains cool and pleasant to the
touch. There is no Montenegro peasant
but will tell you that this is a fact. and
he knows it to be 50, for he has made a
test of it on many succeeding Christmas
nights. The coolness Of the chain is ac.
counted for by the statement that a sim.
liar chain hung over the fire built on the
floor of the stable in Bethlehem, and that
at the birth of Christ the Virgin Mother
grasped it for support. 1t became COO:
at her touch lest it burn the sanity hand
and from that day to this there is no FIRE
hot enough to heat the fireplace chain on
Christmas. 49, ~.,. yl&,
The fire is lighted by means of kindlingf
bits Of which are placed under the log BY
each member Of the family. =. Y
