PROMINENT ARMENIAN
MURDERED IN LONDON
Sagate1 Sagouni, President of the
Revolutionary Society the Vic
tim of an Assassin.

London, Oct. 27-Sagatel Sagouni,
president of the American Revolution
ary society in London, was murdered
in suburb of Nunhead, late yester-
day evening The crime created a
sensation as it has every appearance
of being of political character and
has been preceded by the assassination
of other officials of branches OF the
same society on the continent.
Sagouni, who only returned to Lon
don yesterday, after settling the at
fairs of the association in Switzerland,
recently, was assassinated by shoot
ing. He was entering his residence
when a. man rushed across the road,
fired four shots at him in quick sue
cession. the last bullet entering the re-
gion of his heart. The murderer who
appeared to be a foreigner, fled. The
only clue is a felt hat and silver
plated revolver, both made in New
York, which were dropped in his
flight.
The murdered man was wealthy
anu udu uCNOlcu ulo iAOlloJ w ehS -
menian cause His society was en-
tirely passive and opposed to violence
1t is thought that this attitude insplr
ed in the advanced section Of Armen
ians a desire for vengeance, the latter
claiming that Sagouni's society de
voted it's funds to charity which hao
been better applied to violent remedies
for the Armenian grievances. 1t is
stated that Sagouni's life was threat
ened on account of his participation
| in the exposure of the misapproprla
tion of funds by faction Of the Ar
menian revolutionists. These men are
said to have collected twenty thousand
dollars in America, and put the money
| in their own pockets.

RESERVOIR
PROJECTS
Those Of the Hondo and Urton
Lake Meet With Favor in
Washington.
BOTH in PECOS VALLEY
For the Urton Project Dry Year Measure
ments Will Have to Be Taken..-To
Reclaim Thousands of Acres.

A dispatch from Washington says:
A preliminary examination has been
made by the engineers of the United
States reclamation service of two i'm
portant projects in New Mexico,
known as the Hondo and the Urton
lake projects. A cursory examination
indicates that each project is feasible
from both an engineering and finan-
cial point of view
The land on the Hondo project
which could be irrigated to advantage
amounts to possibly $4,000 acres, and
the first estimate of cost of putting the
water on the land is about $40 per
acre. Land which can be irrigated
most easily from the Hondo reservoir
is nearly all in the hands OF private
parties, so that the question OF coioni
zation would cause no trouble. 1t is
all first class irrigable land. free from
alkali. and, because of the underlying
limestone formation, it will never be
troubled from that source The lands
if watered will be easily worth 500 ar
acre when planted in alfalfa and corn
and if used for fruit raising will even
tually' have higher value. The works
contemplated for this project are the
enlarging of the natural reservoir ano
an inlet and outlet canal, which in
yolve no engineering difficulties.
All Government Land.
The land on the Urton lake proJec
is all government land, with the ex
ception of few claims bordering the
river This land is underlaid by
very porous red sandstone, which vii
probably afford good subdrainage and
prevent trouble from alkali. The res
ervoir site is an excellent natural de
preston and will hold 100000 acre

NOTORIOUS HAWKINS GANG

zano Mountains in Valencia
County,

The notorious Hawkins gang, who
did the killing at Fort Sumner, are
believed to be in the Manzano noun
tains, Valencia county, where they are
stealing cattle from the range and
running them into inaccessible parts
of the mountains. The people of that
section have appealed to the authori-
ties at Albuquerque to send out a
posse to drive away or capture the
gang. Rangers are badly needed IN
some parts of New Mexico, and the
cattlemen are willing to bear the ex-
pense.

fresh supply of ice at Las Vegas.
"The ice industry gives employment
to 300 to 400 men during the winter,
and next to the pay roll OF the Santa
Fe is the largest of any institution or
corporation in Las Vegas.
CONSTRUCTION work on the addition
to the electric railway has proceeded
as far as the plaza, and by January J.,
it is expected that the work around
the plaza and on two mile loop
around the town will have been COM
pleted.
Among the minor Improvements
that go to help Las Vegas consider
! ably has been the construction OIL ce-
ment walks around town. The west
side has been making some great
strides in this direction, and the new
incorporation of West Las Vegas has
resulted in much improvement being
made.
Activity in Building.
There are quite a number of build

dences, under construction, and the
outlook for the erection of more new
residences throughout the city is good.
The general business of the city is
good, but has slackened temporarily
on account of the falling off in rail-
road business during the past month.
largely due to the demand for cars to
handle wheat and corn in Kansas.
From reports, however, we learn
that much of the immense California
fruit crop will be shipped via the
mountain route, and Las Vegas, and
this in addition to the natural increase
will boom the freight traffic that com IS
our way.
Great interest is also being taken
in mining. Several mills have been
erected west of Las Vegas, for hand
ling the low grade ore, of which un-
--mited quantities are to be had. Dem
yer as we'll as Las Vegas parties are
investing large sums in milling prop
erty in and about Las Vegas"

LAS VEGAS
AS ICE CENTER
Payro||s Of This Industry Second
Only to Those Of the Santa
Fe Railway.
ACTIVITY IN BUILDING
Quite q Number Of Business Blocks
and Residences Are Under
Construction.

LAS Vegas is fast forging to the
front as an ice center the pay rolls
of this industry being second only to
those of the Santa Fe railway"
The foregoing statement was made
yesterday by l.. r. Allen, business
manager of the Las Vegas Optic, wNo
was a business visitor in the city.
Notwithstanding the expectations
of a number of the citizens of Las We
gas that the construction of the Rock
Island would have an evil effect on the
business of Las Vegas" continued Mr..
Allen, while it has effected it some,
it has not to the extent that it was
thought it would. In the course OF an
other year Las Vegas will have recov-
cred entirely from the effects of it.
"The Santa Fe railway has extend
ed its line half mile further up the
Hot Springs canon, doing some
heavy construction work, one of the
cuts being 70 feet. This was done in
order to furnish additional trackage
facilities for two large ice reservoirs
of the Aqua Pura company, OF which
F. H. Pierce, president of the board
of managers of the New Mexico peni-
tentiary is manager The additional
trackage was laid by the Santa Fe
largely through the energetic efforts
of Mr.. Pierce.
Will Increase Ice Output.
"These two reservoirs will add con-
siderably to the ice output of the
Aqua Pura company, which is already
over $4,000 tons, but the Santa Fe
railway is calling more heavily on Las
Vegas each year for ice supply for it's
refrigerator cars. The mountain divi-
sion of the Santa Fe will have all it
can do in the freight line this winter,
