Cost S9.000.O00.

After many years of hard continuous labor the last coping stone Of the great dam at Assuan, Egypt, at the first cataract of the Nile, has been laid. This wonderful and gigantic work Is about 6,000 feet in length and contains 900, 900 cubic yards of masonry. It has storage capacity of 800, 600 acre feet of water, but before all Of the land available for agriculture in Egypt can be thoroughly reclaimed reservoir system must be constructed which will store about 2,S0O, ,O00 acre feet. This is the task that English control of Egypt has undertaken to carry out. The Assuan dam has cost Egypt about g, 900, 900, which is 70 be paid in sixty semi annual installments Of S3S2, 645 each. The mo ney will be collected by the government through additional taxation based on the benefits derived from the soil of the Nile valley by the use Of the reservoir water in its irriga- tion.
 This great work was not undertaken as a measure Of philantrophy but as a plain business proposition. That is to say, its cost, use and profits were fig ured out most carefully, and the ex- pected profit will pay a good. round interest on the cost. How insignif- cant seems the biggest irrigation scheme in America besides this great engineering work.-Citrograph.

but elected the democratic ticket ex- cept one.
 Bernard Ithody, republican candidate for congress, carried the territory by between GOOD and 1000.
 Albuquerque's majority for Rodey was 500. He carries every precinct in the county. Seven precincts gave no vote for Ferguson.
 Dona Ana county gives 400 for Ro- ney, 900 for Fall, and 800 for Llcwel- lyn and Hawkins. The republican county ticket was elected.
 Bernalillo county gives a majority for Rodey of 3,400, and Valencia cOun- ty 1,S00 for him. Santa Fe and San Miguel counties are very close.
 Rodey gets 20 majority in Luna county and about the same in Sierra. The democratic county ticket in Ser- ra was elected. There were big ma joritics against Rodey in both counties last election.
 Otero county has gone republican on the legislature and delegate. The en- tire democratic county ticket is elected. The vote between Ferguson and Rodey was close. Fall, Hawkins and Llewel- lvn carried the county by about 100 majority.
 A. B. Fall, candidate for the council on the republican ticket from the shoe- string district, was elected by a small majority. Until a short time ago Fall was an aggressive and bitter democrat which probably accounts for his small majority. He served as district judge under President Cleveland and is man of much ability. He has been considered a resident Of Fl Paso for some years, which also probably contributed to his small majority.
 II. B. Ferguson carried Grant coun- ty by 2S. The republicans elected the following officers: w. A. Hawkins, councilman; k. M. Turner, represent ta tive; A. w. Pullard, representative; Hiram G. Shafer, county commis. sioner, third district; E. J. Swarts. as- sessor; L. H. Rowlee, probate judge. Tbe democrats elected the following: J. c. Cureton, county commissioner second district; w. B. Walton, probate clerk; James K. Blair, sheriff, John w. Fleming, treasurer; Alvan N White, perintendent of schools i; George R. Brown, surveroy. It is a victory for the republicans on the legislative ticket and for the demo- crats on the county ticket. A good vote was polled all over the county the total averaging about 1900.

Sheep Grazing Permit.

A decided change has been made in the method of handling applicat ions for sheepgrazing permits the coming year.
 Last year the division of range and number of sheep each owner was al- lowed to graze were decided upon by the Wool Growers Association, with a reservation that tho Interior Depart ment could re-adjust same if it saw fit. By an order of the Honorable Secre- tary of the Interior, dated October 24th, 1902, the Wool Growers Associa- tions are now eliminated from the matter of allotments and other con- trol, and the grazing is placed directly in the hands of the forest supervisors, under the same rules as heretofore existing imposing the same penalties and obligations as last year.
 When the sheep grazing question is settled for 1903, and the supervisor has been advised of tho number of sheep to bc admitted, applications should be submitted to him direct.
 It is expected, however, that sheep men will use good judgement in making their applications so as to cover range which they have certain rights to and avoid conflicts with theIr neighbours, as we'll as in the necessary reduction of sheep to keep within the limited number set for each reserve or divisisn.
 Shecpmen should see that their ap- plications are sent in as early as possi- ble that they may be acted upon, for no sheep will be allowed to come onto the reserves, until they have been granted u permit and if they are kept out because owners have failed to make application in time, no one is to blame but themselves.

wind storm yesterday, which destroyed
barns. uproOted trees, and caused gem

that section.
Just before the storm broke trsre was
slight lull, and then came a blast
which warned all that the blow would
be one TO be remembered. Tlms blast

peculiar to the advance wind of thun-

not particularly fierce or destructive.
Driven before the wind a hurricane

hit buildings with tremendous force,
driving their way through every crevice
