THE CITY WATER SERVICE.
Plan to Improve the Domestic Supply
About to Be Inaugurated.

The city water and electric company
has stone masons employed building a
new tail race from the electric power
house to the city supply basin which
will result in a new method of handling
the water and insure to domestic con
sumers a clear, pure and healthful SER
vice for practically all time to come.
Hitherto, by the use of but one tail race
leading to the domestic supply basin
the clear water taken through one main
ervoir, where the Rio Santa Fe emerges
from the narrow canon, was mingled
with the flow from the other main lead
ing from the electric power reservoir on
the hill near the power house, which Is
oftentimes riled. This new arrange
ment will serve to keep the flow from
the two sources separate, that coming
from the canon direct going over one
wheel and thence into the city supply
basin, while the rily water passes over
another wheel and from the power
house is exhausted into the irrigation
bitches for use as directed by the ditch
overseers. The new tail race will be
finished tomorrow, and Manager Sparks
is to be congratulated upon having
worked out a method that will be a
great improvement over the water SER
vice heretofore furnished the citizens of
Santa Fe.

The capitol" EDITION.
The New Mexican Will Issue a Special to
Commemorate the Dedication,

The New Mexican, with customary
enterprise, will on June 5 issue a cap
itol" edition, which will contain a COM
plete description of the new capitol, as
well as an account of the dedication ex-
e~rcises. The edition will be illustrated,
and will be a good advertisement for
the capital city, as we'll as for the ter
ritory at large. The dedication Of the
capitol is exciting widespread attention,
not only in New Mexico, but beyond.
the day of dedication will be large. Ev-
cry visitor will wan to have a copy of
the capitol" edition as a souvenir of
the occasion. Copies will also be sent
to all parts of the territory and to other
states and territories. Many people will
judge the enterprise of Santa Fee by the
"capitol' edition. For that reason ev-
cry merchant and professional mar in
the capital should place his advertise
ment in this special edition. The enter
prise and prosperity of a city are re-
Elected by the advertising columns of it's
daily paper. The New Mexican is con-
stantly working for the welfare of the
territory, and especially of the capital
city, and it certainly deserves liberal
support from business men when it I'M
dertakes to make a special effort upon
a special occasion to advertise the city,
it's beauties and it's resources.

EMPHATIC PROTEST..
Continued from First Page.l

for damages. Her 150, 900 acres, esti-
mated to be worth the immense sum of
$35, 900, 900, would thus be reclaimed, and
enough waters remain to be used for
purely speculative purposes by the peo-
pie of Ell Paso and Texas to irrigate
twelve times as much land. And in or
der that this gigantic speculation
should be carried on, New Mexico was
to be ruthlessly robbed of her very life.
The ruin Of the agricultural industry
meant the p~aralyzation of all forms of
industry. 1t meant that the territory
would not remain stationary, but
would go backward. Mines could not
be developed, even if water supply
enough were left to operate them, if all
food supplies had to be brought in. 1t
was to the interest Of every resident of
New Mexico to fight the bill to the ut
most.
The Stephens bill meant hat no dam,
no reservoir, no new ditch, no scientific
system Of irrigation, M improvement
of any kind, could ever be instituted
along the New Mexico courses of the
Rio Grande. We could only use the
amount of water that had previously
been appropriated. This would lead to
endless litigation, for the emissaries of
the government, or of the interested
parties, would spy upon the New Mex
leans; would force them into courts of
law; would subject them to fine and
Imprisonment; and, what would be
worse, would secure federal injunction
against the use of the water in dispute.
He pointed out that the government
had questionable ways of securing wit
nesses to testify in it's behalf, and said
that no individual could hope to sue
coed in litigation against such a power
full opponent.
The only resource and hope of the
people lay in accomplishing the defeat
of the Stephens bill, and this he be-
lieved could be effected through the at
titude of the people, the strong resolu-
tions to be adopted by the convention,
and the efforts of the delegates to be
appointed by the governor to bring the
matter before congress-.
Speeches were also made by Hon. B.
s. Rodey, Ex-Governor E. s. Slower,
Hon. w. B. Childers, Mrs. Morley, Judge
S. B. Newcomb, Charles L. Mcdonald

The. WOman's Side.

Before everything else the young
woman has a right to expect from
her husband tenderness, sympathy and
faith. But sometimes in his eagerness
to make all life fair to her, he fanctes
she is doll and not a woman. And
doll is a very selfish toy. It de-
mands careful treatment all the time,
and it gives nothing but a'pretty ap-
pearance in return. It is the foolish
wife who expects infallibility in her
husband. She forgets that there is q
difference between the house wife and
the house moth. She should expect
from her husband politeness at all
times, and certain. gentleness that
every man possessing the real instinct
ot man gives to woman.
But she should not expect from him
too much. She has no right whatever
to ask Of him permission to live lazy
lite herself and give~up all her days
and years to vain and idle thought.
When the wife, can make .hur hus-
bands home coming a joy, his home
staying pleasure and a delight, and
his leaving home a sorrow, then, and
then only, can she expect great. deal
from him. ). - y,

The Resources of Siberia.

Under government encouragement,
it is said that Siberia is gaining 200,-
900 farmers per year. Among it's ex-
ports are cereals, butter, wool, leather:
and dried and preserved meats. AL
ready this remote country, which the
popular imagination is apt to picture
as vast waste, the abode of frost and
snow and misery, is becoming talked
of as a possible competitor with the
we'll known cereal producing countries
of the world. A member of the French
bureau Of foreign commerce estimates
that, on the basis Of the present popu-
lation in Europe, Siberia can sustain
80,O00,000 inhabitants, although now
it has not one-tenth of that number.
1t produces. one-tenth Of the world S
yield Of gold, but owing to climatic
obstacles many of its mines are not
worked, and it's immense coal depos'
its have hardly been touched.

How He Felt About IT.


= From the Washington Star: ,"Of
course" remarked the proud father of
six children, there is nothing in all
the world that makes man so sin
cerely happy as to have around him a
whole houseful of registering children,
every .one !. Of them tickled plumb to
death when he comes home at night,
and every one of them wanting to
climb all over him at once and the
same time. Still, it is possible that
there may be an embarrassment. n Of
riches, as the French say, Of even
this sort, and, when a baby is of the
squalling kind he, sometimes thinks
he would almost commit crime for
the sake Of five or. six minutes Of
peace and quiet. A friend of mine,
who lives in a fiat, is the father Of a
regular four-time ,squaller, and there
was an incident at his home the other
evening that has caused his wife to
look upon him with suspicion. Albert
is one of the mildest hammered men
that ever lived. Across the hall from
his fiat live two bachelor friends Of
his, and you know bachelors are not
overly partial to babies with unre-
strained lungs The other afternoon
his wife, came in where he was read
ing, or trying to-, and she was con-
siderab1y wrought up. .s
.#@ss 3 go GIVE got no use for those two
friends Of yours across the hail. she
said. s
Il why not, my dear, he responded,
In his usual mild manner. d
Because, when Willie was crying
awhile ago one Of them said, oh,
shoot the baby
s. oh, did her said the father, raIs-
Ing his eyebrows, after the manner OF
some people expressing surprise Or
resentment or some other emotion.
Yes, he did, repeated the fond
mother
And what did. you say to that?
s. inquired. with q half smile
