STORAGE RESERVOIR.
Uncle Sam Looking to the Construction
Of q Big Dam in This
Territory.

The United States reclamation SER
vice has this week begun investigation
looking to the construction of big
dam and reservoir in New Mexico. AT
the present time no special irrigation
project in this terriotry is under con-
Sideration, and in this point of view
New Mexico is behind her sister states
and territories. The interior depart
and two assistant engineers of the re-
clamation service have just been dis
patched from the western headquarters
of the department in Denver to look
over the ground and make preliminary
investigations as to visible supply of
water in streams and feasible locations
for storage reservoir.
M. c. Hinderlider, superintendent
of the reclamation service for Colora-
do and five surrounding states and
territories, under direction of A. L..
Fellows, arrived in New Mexico Tues
day. Part of his duties will be to es-
tablish gauging stations at Watrous,
on Mora river; Las Alamos, on the
Gallinas creek near Las Vegas hot
springs, and other points. F. Coggs-
WE'LL assistant engineer, is already in
New Mexico, conducting Investigations
further south in the territory. He has
established gauging stations at En-
budo and at San Ildefonso, on the Rio
Grande river. This work is done at the
suggestion of Arthur Powell Davis.
Mr. Davis is familiar with the needs
Of irrigation in the arid wastes of New
Mexico and he is turning his attention
to neglected New Mexico. This terri
tory has been suffering this summer
from a severe drouth, and the presence
of Uncle Sans expert photographers
will be cause of general rejoicing.
The most notable irrigation project
in New Mexico at the present time is |
a storage reservoir in Grant county. |
The territorial government is fostering |
this enterprise, which is to irrigate a |
arge region in the neighborhood of
Silver City and Fort Bayard. The dam
md reservoir are under contract for
by July 1, 1904 and the es-
imated cost is $500, 000

TEN MILES COMPLETED
Work on the New Mexico & Southwest.
ern Railroad Is Progressing
Satisfactorily.

The Rev. Father Antonio Jouven-
ceaus, who is we'll and favorably
known in this city and who is now a
parish priest at Park View, spent the
past week in town attending the re-
treat of the Catholic priests Of the
archdiocese in this city. Father
Jouvenceau states that the range and
crops in northern Rio Arriba county
are in excellent condition and that
stock is doing very we'll. Work on the
new road, the New Mexico & South
western Railroad, from Lumberton to
Gallina in Rio Arriba county which is
about forty-two miles in length, is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. The grade is
completed to Stone lake, about fifteen
miles south of Lumberton, and the
track is laid to the vicinity of Horse
Lake about ten miles south of the
same town. It is expected that Elva-
do, the new location of the saw mills
of the Burns-Biggs Lumber mills will
be reached about October l. Elvado is
about twenty-five miles from Lumber
ton. Many of the men in that section
ars working on road construction and
ALSO in the lumber mills, preferring
this to work on farms and herding
sheep, as it gives them ready money.
Upon the whole Father Antonio is we'll
pleased with the condition of affairs in
his parish. 1t will be remembered that
he served in this city for many years
and for some time as director of st.
GATHERINGS Indian school, in which
position he gave excellent satisfaction.
He is very popular and highly re-
spected by the many who know him
in this county and city.

"Hon. I. B. Hanna, Pecos, N. M.
Dear Sir-Some time ago We made
application on behalf of Santa Fe
county for the right of way through
the Pecos Park reserve for wagon
road and also for what timber and
other material might be needed to
complete or construct such road; we
also quoted the sections, ETC., that the
road would pass through and as yet
have had no reply to our communica-
ton.
''It is of great and vital Importance
that the road should be built and I
trust the privilege will be granted.
s'I am informed by Superintendent
Bursum, who has charge of the work,
that our surveyor was prevented from
completing the survey of the proposed
road. Will you kindly let me know as
soon as possible if we must get per-
mission for the surveyor to pass
through and the survey to be made,
and If so send me full instructions on
the subject also inform me if we can
proceed with the work through the
reserve as the superintendent is very
anxious to push along with it and is
now to this point.
'The convicts who are engaged in
building the road will require fresh
meat and we would like to have the
privilege of herding about so mutton
near the camp as they proceed, as it
would be utterly impracticable to haul
fresh meat to them from this city each
day.

settle trades upon the basis of artificial
value created by the cornerfng OF the
market and that margins deposited in
banks or elsewhere are within the juris-
diction % the courts IN that they AFFECT
the right to property.
The decision draws a legal distinction
between questions touching the disci-
primary rights Of the board in which the
latter has repeatedly been held to be
sovereign and questions of property
rights. and holds that disputes between
members involving finances can, if de-
sired by either party be submitted to
the courts for decision

cipal suit upon which the others were
based and which resulted in the Secur-

The firm had sold oats for July delivery.
