Government Water Works.

Washington, Nov. At is not
improbable that Fort Leavenworth in
the course of due time will be in
possession of its own water works
AT present the water for the fort is
supplied by the city water works of
Leavenworth.
Representative Curtis feels that
the government should own its own
water plant to keep pace with the
public Improvements which have
been introduced there, as we'll as
from economic considerations.
Accordingly he called at the
quartermaster generals Office in the
war department today and laid the
matter before the official in charge
and urged that the government build
its own water works.
He pointed out that this is one of
the largest forts in the United States
and should be entirely independent
of the city for its supply of water.
No decision was reached but the
suggestions will be considered care
fully.

HON. MIGUEL A. OTERO.
New Mexico's Popular Governor A
Busy Man These Days.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

For the next sixty days. during the
meeting of the legislature, Governor
Miguel Antonio Otero will be kept
pretty busy, but he will be equal to the
emergency. He has just just submit
ted to the legislature his message, and
The Citizen will probably give consid-
cradle space in tomorrow's issue to his
suggestions and recommendations.
At this time, a brief biographical
sketch is in order, and The Citizen
publishes the following:
The name of Otero is an honored
and distinguished one in the annals of
New Mexico. Its history can be traced
back for many centuries to the nobil-
ity of Old Castle. 1t is mentioned first
in connection with New Mexico and
Santa Fe in 1905, although the direct
ancestors of Governor Otero came to
New Mexico from Spain In the latter
part of the eighteenth century. His
grandfather was a judge, an alcalde,
a man of marked talents and consid-
cradle landed wealth. Governor Otero's
father, Don Miguel Antonio Otero.
was born in Valencia county, New
Mexico, and was prominent with the
Albuquerque daily citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1895-1903, 1903-01-19

est and most charming daughter of
Judge Lafayette Emmett. at one time
the chief Justice of Minnesota. and
now librarian of New Mexico. and
though he and his wife have had to
mourn the loss of two children, one
son, also named Miguel Antonio, now
8 years of age. IS a bright particular
star in their happy household.
Personally, Governor Otero is anna.
BILE, unaffected. ~persevering. morally of
high principle and loyal to his friends.
He is an enthusiastic worker for the
welfare of the territory under his con.
troll, and his greatest political amb!.
ton is to have New Mexico placed
among the sisterhood of states, worthy
of being given every polirrcal privilege
to which statehood will entitle it.

BELEA BOOMING.
The Quiet Nice Town Of the Rio
Grande Assumes Much Activity.
PEOPLE REJOICE OVER PROSPECTS.

After a score or more years of peace
full and undisturbed slumbering the lit
tie village of Belen has in the past few
days awakened to a busy and bustling
city Of commercial Importance. and
the building of the Santa Fe cut off.
the key to the sortest transcontinental
route in the United States, is RESPONSE
BILE. A glimpse of Belen yesterday, al
though the day was a day of rest to
the world, showed the little city alive
with people from every walk of life,
hurrying, scurrying, hither and thith-
err, bent on business. The two small
hotels were filled to overlooking. Men
and women slept on pallets in the no.
tel offices. in chairs and many other
places, where a little sleep and rest
could be secured.
Mechanics are in demand.
Buildings. both business and resid-
ent. are going up everywhere. Tents,
occupied by people, laborers and me-
chan,cs. are scattered about in profus-
ion.
The actual construction of the new
road has already begun. Some 800
men and teams worked on the new
grade last week. A trainload of ma
terial and $50 mules, for the grading
outfits, were unloaded there Saturday
night.
1t is estimated that the construction
forces will be increased to 5000 men
and 1900 teams. within the next thir-
ty days. A short line will be built
to Abo canyon first. Three grading
miles, another twenty miles and an
other thirty miles. The latter two
will be in Abo canyon.
Busy scenes are already being en-
acted in the canyon. Saloons and
gambling houses are going up there,
and a small town is being given birth
to.
John Becker, who is the largest
property owner in that part of the
Rio Grande valley, and the people of
Belen, expect great things of their
town. And, right they should. Its
pa COClll OoptNAo oiS tAiob IL q ~
rive at a population of $500 people
and become one of the most important
| cities of the Rio Grande valley.
A plat of the city has been made and
Incorporation papers will be applied
for. The plat owe some hundred
acres of land and it's location to the
railroad is very pretty. 1t shows the
pretty parks in the center of the
city.
The streets and run whit he
points of the compass. The avenues
running east and west are named after
Spanish generals, Alvarado, Cortiz
Coronado, etc. The streets running
north and south are numbered. The
numbers begin at First on the west
side of the city and increase to the
railroad on the east. 1t is not as yet
positively known where the new depoI
will be. but it is presumed that its 10
cation will be made about a half
mile south of the present depot ant
where Lantry Sons Offices are 10
Gated. The railroad has a large body
of land extending on each side of theil
right of way at this place.
