NATIONAL IRRIGATION LAW.

Many mistaken ideas prevail con
corning the new national irrigation
Jaw. II is. I'm fact. one Of the most
carefully guarded acts ever passed by
congress and II Is entirely in the in.
terest ~ home makers. Under its pro
visions no man can get water for more
than 100 acres. and none can assign
his water right TO any other person
on corporation. \ settler must use the
water as condition Of obtaining il,
and no one else can use II in his stead
Government irrigation fixes the cost
of putting the water on the arid lands
It may vary from So to $50 an acre.
Eventually the settler pays back the
cost. 4 state can get no national
money for irrigation except from the
sales Of It's own public lands. The
new irrigation law is a stringent meas
ure in it's protection OF the govern.
ment. Its object is to redeem lands
not now available for agriculture. anC
10 help actual settlers who display en-.
ergy and industry in helping them
selves.

POSTAL DEFICIT.

Captain Castle the auditor OF the
treasury for the postofice department.
has made the official estimate that the
postal deficiency for the fiscal year
ending July / was S4617.202 The de
felt for the previous fiscal year was
s2.96i ,l70. This big increase Is attrib-
uted to the enormous increase in ex-
pendiures for the rural free delivery
service during the past year. The re-
ceipts of the postal service for the
year were 13i.62S. 600 and the expend-
itures s13S .SS5.S12.
The deficiency IN the free delivery
service is not yet definitely known be-
yond the estimate made weeks ago by
the postmaster general that IL would

prove considerably larger than that

MOODY MERRILL TRIAL.
Defense Was Granted One Continu.
anee and Asked for Another.

The trial OF Moody Merrill in Boston
was set for last Tuesday. The Boston
papers which have just arrived show
that on Monday his attorneys asked to
have counts IL, ~ and 10 in the indict'
ment dismissed. Merrill is known to
many in New Mexico as Col. c. F.
Grayson.
Assistant District Attorney Sughrue,
who is conducting the prosecution, In
compliance with the former order OF
the court, furnished additional infor-
nation regarding the fifth and eighth
counts in the indictment, but said he
could furnish but little more about the
eleventh count. The twelfth and thir.
teenth are duplicates OF companion
counts and involve the alleged en-
bezzlement of $500 from Mrs. Cohen.
Judge Bisnop, who is presiding, or.
dered additional information to be fur
nishod regarding these counts.
The eleventh count sets forth that a
mortgage on lot on Shawmut avenue,
Boston. was executed by William Dwy-
or I, Merrill for $500, secured by the
mortgage. The note bears the same
cate as the mortgage and was turned
over TO Merrill in trust for Mrs. Co.
hen. The commonwealth alleges that
Merrill converted this to his own
use.
After this information was filed, II
was agreed the trial should he post
I poned until Thursday, in order that
/ the attorneys for the defense might
have more time in which to prepare.
! Merrill who had been In New Hamp
shire, was on hand for the trial Late
I Wednesday afternoon. at an Informal
conference between the attorneys TO-
I the commonwealth. for the defense
and the court, farther postponemeni
was asked by the attorneys for the
defense. The assistant district attor
/ ney stated that the commonwealth was
ready to proceed. The postponemenl
was asked by the defense on the
grounds OF the absence OF two import
ant witnesses. Judge Bishop instruct
ed the attorneys for the defense TO en-
ter formal motion for postponemen
when court opened Thursday mornin,
and he would take 1t under considera
ton.

Record by Three Inches at Douglas,
Arizona.
Word from Douglas states that the

IONA and New Mexico were on hand.
The most interesting feature was
that of the drilling contest in which
Chamberlain and Make made a new
worlds record that eclipsed the one
made In El Paso last winter, by about
three inches.
The records made in the double
handed contests showed that Cham
berlain and Make had made 46 11-32
inches. Ross and Malley came next
with 435s inches. Mclver and johnson
came third with AZ 1892. Tarr broth.

made Sl7s inches.
There seems to be some question,
however, as to whether the record
made by Chamberlain and Make will
he accepted as worlds record or not,

belonging to the Merchant ranch. on

that II was the horse her son had rid

went in search of him. and found him
lying unconscious near the road about
