OUR IRR|GAT|ON|STS.
Have Given up Old Elephant Butte
Dam Proposition.
WANT NATIONAL RESERVOIR.

The people Of New Mexico, who are
interested in benefiting under the ir.
rigation act passed by the last con.
gress, are fast maturing their plans
10 dam up the river at some point be.
tween Rincon and Anthony and build
canal which will put about 100 900
acres Of arid land under cultivation,
says the Eel Paso Times.
Attorney II. b. Holt OF Las Cruces
was In the city, and In talking with
reporter for the Times, gave some
interesting information on the subject
OF New Mexico's irrigation plans.
He said that for the past three or
four weeks a party OF civil engineers
under Engineer Reed, a man OF much
experience In this line. have been
surveying reservoir sites down the
river from Las Vegas. While all of
the available sites have been looked
into, Mr.. Holt says that the Elephant
Butte. the original site, Is considered
the most feasible.
1T Is mistaken impression which
some people seem TO have" said Mr..
Holt. that the people OF New Mexico
are going after a dam on the same
plan that this section Is going after
the international dam The two
schemes are utterly Independent OF
one another. The people OF New Mex.
leo are proceeding under the act of
congress, which provides for the gov
hnt11tnu 81
the section to be benefited thereby
pledging enough land to pay for the
same In ten years In annual Install
ments.
1.-THE Tonic basin scheme in Arizo.
ma has been worked out and 1t has
been aseertained that the land pledg.
ed TO the government will only have
TO pay back SIT PET acre in ten years,
or $40 an acre each year.
"our people have estimated that the
plan OF irrigation which they have
under contemplation will take IN, In
round figures, 100000 acres and this
cost per acre will. therefore, be com.
paratively small
ut is also n mistaken idea TO think
that the building Of a reservoir at the
Elephant Bait site will hinder the
building OF the international dam at
FL Paso. The opinion OF most all sci.
entlfic minds Is to the contrary. They
say tina. at food times the amount OF
water "a the Rio Grande is always
more than sufficient for twice the
number OF dams now In contemplation
And, then, the conservation OF the
water above will naturally Increase

more water below than there would
otherwise be-"
