Which we had a small game, And An Sin took a hand: It was euchre. The same He did not under stand; But he smiled as he sat by the table, With the smile that was childlike and bland. Yet tte cards they were stocked In a way that I grieve; And my feelings were shocked At the state of Nye's sleeve, Which was stuffed full of aces and bowers, And the same with intent to deceive. But the hands that were played By that heathen Chinee, And the points that he made, Were quite frightful to see Till at last he put down d right bower, Which the same Nye had dealt unto
 me. Then 1 looked up at Nye, And he gazed upon me; And he rose with d sigh, And said, Gan this be? We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor"- And he went for that heather Chinee. In the scene that ensued I did not take a hand, But the floor it was strewed Like the leaves oil the strand With the cards that An Sin had been hiding In the game "he did not understand" In his sleeves, which were long, He had twenty-four packs-Which was coming ong, Yet l state but the f we found on his nails, W taper-What is frequent in that's wax.

NUT BEARING TREES SUCCESSFUL.
Interest In irrigation Near AIamogordo and Series Of
Experiments TO be Made.

There is decided interest in irriga-
ton near Alamogordo. V. E. Carson,
who owns ranch one mile southwest
OF Alamogordo, intends building res.
ervoir about 100 feet square and six
feet deep. He will put in pumping
plant consisting of an improved form of
pump and a large windmill to supply
the reservoir. He will line the reser-
voir with small rocks well tamped in
and then coat it with cement made
Of white sand. Over this he will put a
heavy coat of mineral paint. He finds
plenty of water at depth of Sc feet.
He has had much experience in Cali
forna and his experiments with nut
bearing trees in New Mexico have been
successful. He planted almond seeds
last November which have developed
into trees four and a half feet high and
soft shelled walnuts planted at the same
time are doing finely. He believes
enough water can be developed for all
the land in the vicinity.
A. j. King, manager of the Alamo
gordo Improvement Company, has re-
turned to Alamogordo and will at once
take up the question of irrigation. He
will investigate the underground water
supply with an idea of getting an idea
of the practicability of pumping water
for irrigation. The plans have not been
made public, but it is believed series
of wells will be put down.

PREPARING To RE-
CLAIM ARID LANDS
Government Experts Have Been Ordered
to Investigate the Available Water
Resources of the Trans-Pecos
Region.
WILL ESTIMATE THE COST OF RESERVOIRS

Robert r. Hill of the United States
Geological Survey, who was recently
sent to Martinique to investigate the
eruption of Mount Pelee, will be en-
of the -Pecos region of New Mex
leo, Texas and Arizona. The geology,
stratigraphy, physiography and vul-
canism of the region will receive at
tenton DR.. G. H. Girty, paleontolog-
ist, will be associated With Mr.. Hill in
the work, and data will be secured for
the use Of congress and the depart
ments.
This is preparatory to the actual
work of reclaiming arid lands in ac-
cordance with the law recently enact
ed by congress and particular atten-
ton will be given to the available wa
ter resources. They will Investigate
regarding the flow which may be eX-
pected at various stages of the streams
as this sets a positive limit to the
acreage which can be placed under cul-
tivation Another point on which they
will report will be the possibility of in
creasng the amount at low stages by
impounding the spring or freshet wa
ters, or a portion of them, in great
storage reservoirs and the most desira-
BILE locations for these reservoirs with
their probable cost. Much of this work
has been done by the photographic di-
vision of the United States geological
survey and the work now to be under
taken is supplementary and final so
far as preliminaries are concerned.

YOUNG MADE
A STATEMENT
Said That He and Charles Simpson Filing
Took Mrs. Pulitzer to
afIat.
He WENT OUT FOR WH|SKEY
On His Return He Found the Woman Dead and Filing
Gous-He Feared the Consequences and Began to
Cut Up the Body.

Derby, Conn, Sept. 23.-William
HOOPER Young, the alleged murderer of
Mrs. Annie Pulitzer left here this
morning in custody of New York de-
tectives William r. Hart of New
York, who has been retained as coun-
sell arrived early today. He imme-
diately went to the Jail and talked
with Young. At the close of the inter-
view, Hart said: eff this man is sane;
if he is all right, I do not know what
to think. His story is more like that
of mad man. 1t is simply wonderful.
| want him examined by an expert in
insanity before l go on. His motive
was not revenge"
YOUNG'S ALLEGED CONFESSION.
New York, Sept. 23.-The train from
Derby, Conn, with Young on board,
arrived at the Grand Central station at
9:20 a. m. There was a crowd of 400 or
500 at the station when the train came
in. The crowd was orderly and no de-
monstration against Young was made.
The prisoner was handcuffed to Find
lay, and was led through large
crowd. He plainly was in a condition
bordering on collapse when led up the
steps into headquarters. Lawyer Hart
appeared and said in reply to inquiries:
young is an innocent man. The po-
lice believe they have got him on an
alleged confession, which he made be-
fore he had legal counsel. 1t will be
proven that Young was not even an
accomplice."
Detective Captain Titus says that
Young made a statement to the effect
that about three weeks ago he met a
man named Charles Simpson Filing in
Central Park. He became acquainted
although Filing was a degenerate. On
the night of the murder he and Filing
took Mrs. Pulitzer to a fiat. Young
went out for whisky and when he re-
turned, he found the woman dead, and
Filling gone. He started to inform the
police, but feared the consequences. He
then began to cut up the body to hide
it, but finally decided to flee.
Young was arraigned on an affidavit
made by Detective Sergeant Hughes,
and the hearing was set for September
30. The proceedings were brief and
without any unusual incident.
