The following is copy of a letter

to the secretary of the interior, under
date of last Saturday. and transmitted
to the Ell Paso chamber of commerce
on the same date:

The Honorable The Secretary of the
Interior.
Sir:-I have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt by your reference of
a letter of Ernest Z. Russell. secretary

ton of that body referring to the
Rio Grande dam question:.
The department approved the right
On way for the Rio Grande Dam and
Irrigation company's reservoir on Feb
ruary ], 1895. and the legal proceedings
to restrain il from constructing the
reservoir were subsequently begun and
are now under the jurisdiction of the
department of justice. This Office is
not informed of the status of the case
at the present time. but it is known
that the matter has been considered
by the L. 5. supreme court and that
the case has been remanded to the
lower courts for further action OLA
u. S. 69O).
The questions in this case are of
considerable importance in the devel-
opment of irrigation and involve also
matters relating to the treaty of Quad
alupe Hidalgo. in which the depart
ment of state is interested, as the gov
eminent of Mexico has claimed that
its interests will be affected by the
construction of the dam and the di-
version of the water
Furthermore. in pursuance of de-
partmental order of December 5,
1896, all applications for right of way
for canals or reservoirs which require
the use of the waters of the Rio Gran
de have been suspended. Some of them
have been awaiting action since early
in 1897.
In view of the foregoing, it is evil
dent that an early decision of the case
is very desirable. l therefore enclose
Mr.. Russell's letter and recommend
that it be forwarded to the depart
ment of justice with the request that
such action may be taken as will Sc
cure an early decision of the case

To the Officers and Directors OF the
FL Paso Fire Department.
Gentlemeo:-
AS 10 we'll known our city has grown
rapidly in recent yerrs, and the fire
bydrants that we're placed years ago TO
cover certain territory are now found
inadequate in number, especially since
larger and more costly buildings have
been erected in almost every part of
town.
l desire TO bring to the notice OF the
directors, a certain portion of the city
where these conditions will apply, and
this Is in districts 8 and "a, " htcn contain
the A. 7. & S. f. depot, the pint ware
house, the Waters Pierce OH Co, the
new electric light plant, Houck and
Dieter's bottling works, the gas works,
and the old electric light plant. There
IL one hydrant on northeast corner of
9Th and Ell Paso street, one corner of
Santa Fee and Sd street: these are the
nearest and ordinarily would give
four lines O! hose. This could be in
creased by Siamese and the engine,
but in any event | believe the directors
will agree with me that this would
not be projection enough for that part
OF town, should the Waters Pierce Oil
Co get Aire with the chances of les
immense oil tank bursting. The cap
acity of these tanks 10 about Is fol-
lows:
One $4,000 gal tank With EupIon oil.
One 10000 gal tack with gasoline.
Two 5000 gal tanks with headlight,
and bsrreled oil.
The greatest danger lie 8 In the fact
should thi, oil plant get atire, IL would
create such . great heat and with
bursting tanks, no doubt would de-
stroy the new Electric Light Com
paoy's plant taking in the bottliug
works, the depot, the joint warehouse,
gas and old electric light works and
thereby leaving the city in darkness.

At the big oil fire in N j where
there was loss OF $40. 200 900 the oil
tanks burst and the firemen resorted to-
treucbinR TO keep the burning oil from

Inere h.e no DOUBT OCher pisces In

opinion that the portion of t)~n
