A FEW POINTERS.
Development of Water on the Mesa
Will Stimulate Enterprises.
ACTIVE WORK NECESSARY.

The establishment of a military post
possibly upon the mesa-will stimu-
late the steam railroad project. 1t will
insure the construction of the electric
car line, and an electric line means ac-
cess to our suburbs, No citizen has
ever crossed the mesa without remark
ing its grandeur; without feeling its
heafthfulness; without regret at its
aridity.
The development of water at any
part of the mesa will mean more to the
welfare of the city than any project
now before it's people. There is no use
to speak of its thousand farms, employ
ing 5000 people and supplying the city
with their products. We all know the
land is there and cannot question its
extreme fertility when the water that
underlies it is brought to the surface
and utilized.
Many schemes have been advanced
for the redemption of this land; many
half attempts have been made to reach
the water, but all have failed.
Is an opportunity now here?
From the report in The Citizen Mon
day and the opinion of Paul B. Perkins
we believe an ehort should be made
toward demonstrating the correctness
OF our common Del1e1.
The development of vast body of
water near the foot hills has been a
private enterprise and has been but
little heralded. 1t has been but little
talked of or little thought of, because
of the many failures which have pre-
ceded it. The very quietness and self
certainty of its promoter led to belief
IN trifling affair which has developed
into monstrous certainty.
Can the water strata underlying the
mesa be tapped. and at what expense
of time and money? The Citizen is
against theorizing always at the eX-
pense of the people, but is with any
| practicable plan for their betterment.
| So The Citizen suggests a meeting
with Mr.. Perkins and a report from
| him of facts and figures, upon the ques-
! ton cf water on the mesa.

Mrs. Minnie Campbell met with a
narrow escape from a serious, if not
fatal, accident this afternoon. The lady
is the daughter of nrs. G.. f. Hopkins,
proprietress of the Columbus hotel.
and in walking around the narrow
passage of the skylight over the Albu-
querque Hardware company store, she
slipped and partially fell through one
of the panes of glass. She hung thus
suspended for few minutes, when her
cries for help were heard and she was
released from her perilous position. 1t
was an accident which Mrs. Campbell
will not soon forget. for had the sky
light given away with her weight, the
lady being quite large. it would doubt
less meant death or cripple for life.

Senator Hanna Chairman of

People of Indian Territory Want a
Form of Government.
TRAM WRECK IN OHIO.

Washington, Feb 19.-Among the
questions relating to the Philippines,
discussed by Governor Taft today in
his testimony before the senate COM
mfttee on the Philippines, was the atti-
tude of religious sects toward one an
other. He says that generally the re-
lationship is a friendly one and that
the evangelical churches are seeking
TO secure a foothold in the islands.
In reply to the question he said that
from twenty-five to fifty persons had
been deported from the Philippines
and had been sent to Guam by the
military authorities, because they are
considered irreconcilables, whose pres
ence was injurious.
He said that as far as the Philippine
advocates of independence expressed
themselves all desided that the United
States should continue protection of
the islands; in other words they want
ed independence with United States
protectorate.
Governor Taft also gave information
concerning the newspaper press of the
Philippines, admitting that they are
prohibited from adverting to independ.

Burrows said that the Philippines de
served a good government, but did no
deserve independence because an in
dependent government was not practic
able.
Mallory, of Florida followed Bur
rows, addressing himself particular!

CRISIS WAS NOT SERIOUS.

Premier Stcen Simply Retired on
Account of Age.
The ministerial crisis in Norway was
not such a serious one, after all. Pre-
mier. Steen simply retired on account of
his advanced age.
1t was intinlated that Qvam Arctand-
err, and one or two others were prepar-
ing to hand in their portfolios, and a
radical reorganization Of the cabinet
was expected. Minister Blehr, who rep
resented Norway at Stockholm, was the
choice Of majority Of the Liberal
members in the storthing for the pre-
miership.
The place was first offered to Berner,
president Of the storthing, but Blehr
was eventually selected. He invited
DR.. Sigurd Ibsen to become member
of the cabinet, taing the vacant posi-
ton at Stockholm. The invitation was
accepted.
DR.. Ibsen is the only son Of Henrik
1bsen, the famous dramatist. He was
bern in Norway, in 1859. but was edu-
Gated largely in foreign countries, par
ticularly at Munich and Rome. His
Doctors degree, for instance, was OBJ
tanned in Rome, on a paper in the Ital-
Ian langua &c.
He has held several government posi-.
tions from time to time, and has been
connected with several newspapers and
magazines. r

Swedish Papers Criticise Statement
of Capt. Christmas.
National TideEde of Copenhagen,
Denmark, devotes q column and half
to Walter Christmas, the military gem
tie man with the triplicate name, and
his efforts to inveigle the United States
minister to Denmark, Lauritz A. Sven
son. into standing sponsor for state.
ment which Capt. Christmas desired to
have cabled to Secretary Hay. AS O
special inducement, he offered to pay
the cable tolls.
In this statement which Capt. Christ
mas gave to the cress through Ritzaus
bureau. before it could possibly have
reached Minister Swenson, he charges
that Niels Gron was employed by the
Danes to delay the sale Of the Danish
Antilles. He directly accuses Gron Of
having garbled and falsified his report
to the government on the alleged brib-
cry.
The doughty captain denies that he
ever in.imated to President Horring
that brides were necessary to effect the
sale of the islands and that 10 per
cent commission was the first essential
for the sale. Furthe rmore, he declares
that he never named any congressman
to whom he had promised money.
The banking ho,,se of Seligman, he
says. never guaranteed any funds to be
used in effecting the sale.
: AS Minister Swenson was not in any
manner involved in the Christmas or
Gron affairs, he YVES, naturally, greatly
surprised Ivy the request to officially
forwad Christmas latest statement.
While MI. Swenson did not intimate
what course he would pursue, the pa
per assumed that he would ignore the
request, as the Danish officials did when
Christmas sought to irduce them to
forward his statements to Washington.
National Tidende points out several
giaring contradictions in this last state
ment with others he has made. His
report to the government differs widely
from the latest statement, and the pa
per expresses a desire to know which
are true.
But both Christmas and Gron are no
longer factors in the negotiations he
tween the United States and Denmark;
in fact, they never were. as was posi-
lively shown in the congressional in
vestigations. Too much space has al
ready been given these dead ducks"
