CONGRESS A
BIC SUCCESS
Former Governor Prince Reviews
the Work Done at the Ma.
tionaI Irrigation Sessions.
TERRITORYS SHOWING
Was Better Represented Than Usual,
Having no Less Than Fifteen
Delegates Present

Hon. L. Bradford Prince returned
from Ogden Monday night on delayed
train No. of the Santa Fe system on
which the Ell Paso delegation and
their band were also travelling. In
discussing the National Irrigation
congress with a representative of the
New Mexican Governor Prince said:
''The congress was big success in
every way. In members it was the
largest ever held and more states were
represented than ever before, as the
people of the Mississippi valley and
the East have begun to understand
the wide interest of the irrigation
between storing the surplus waters at
the head streams and preventing
floods further down. There were
more Governors, Senators and Con-
gressmen than ever before; Senator
Clarke, of Montana, being president
and Senator Burton of Kansas, max
ing one of the most valuable ad-
dresses.
''The most notable feature, however,
was the presence and active intent
of Secretary Wilson, who made a
most encouraging speech and was al
ways On the platform, and of Newall
A. M. Prichard, chief of the bureau of
Irrigation and of forestry, with no less
than twenty-five of the leading engin-
GERS in charge of the work in different
states and territories.
New Mexico was better represented
than usual having no less than fifteen
delegates. The event of most inter-
est to Santa Fe was the selection of
Ell Paso as the place for the next con-
gress This will almost certainly ac-
tuate the improvement of the line of
the Denver & Rio Grande from Ala
mosa to Santa Fe and the establish.
ment of rapid communication be-
tween Denver and Ell Paso by way OF
She Santa Fe Central.
"All the delegates from Oregon,
Washington, Nevada, Utah, Montana,
Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and the Da- |
kotas will naturally come via Denver |
or Pueblo and this will be an incentive |
to the early completion of the through |
line BY proper arrangements large |
number Of those travelling on that |
route can be induced to stop over at |
Santa Fe, to visit he places of inter- |
est, just as the majority of the dele |
gates stopped over at Salt Lake City. |
'Now that the Irrigation congress |
will be held on the very border G. New
Mexico, the Territory must arrange to
have large delegation from all sec
tions. There is no reason why two or
three hundred of our people should not
be present. We should also have a
fine fruit display as that was an i'm
portant feature at Ogden"
The New Mexico officers of the next
congress are: Hon. L. B. Prince, vice
president; G. A. Richardson ESQ.,,

AN EYE TO THE FUTURE.
A Horse That Made His Own Plans for
a Comfortable Old Age.

q SOIiltSI ~ SlN
Mrs. Pelton, the author of "A Tar
Heel Baron" a new novel Of North
Carolina which is winning general
praise by it's character drawing. has
for one of her special friends among
the mountain people in her home In
North Carolina, the village assessor,
wagonmaker, blacksmith and vender
of paints, putty and other useful COM
modities. His various duties sit light
ly upon him. however, and he has
ample time for shrewd observations Of
men and affairs, and for prolonged
chats with his friends. Last autumn
Mr.. Pelton, who was leaving the village
for the winter decided that the ex-
tremely slow pace OF her horse Bird
was due entirely to old age, and after
much painful anguish she made up her
mind to part indefinitely with the ami
NAL. After diligent search for a proper
guardian, she found an old mountaineer
who promised to take the best Of care
of the beloved horse, and to give him
mex to no work"
Now, the blacksmith knew that Bird
was not very old, and that he ought to
be good for a considerable amoun of
work; and he had a shrewd suspicion
that the horse would live much longer
than his new master. After Bird had
been led to his new home by the aged
and feeble mountaineer, Mrs. Pelton
met the blacksmith, and after telling
him OF Birds f~eebleness and her sor-
row at having to give up her horse,
she asked, did you see the man who
Is to look after Bird, and do you think
he will take good care of him?" The
man looked at her quizzically with his
twinkfing blue eyes, and draWled In his
slow, gentle voice, WAL, Mis- Pelton
l was Just awonderin' If you had pro-
vided a home for Bird after the old
man dies"

deny that the complainant is his wife,
but he says he does not remember

men and dangerous to health, owing TO
the large quantities Of dust In circula-
ton in the atmosphere.
Mr.. Gregory reports that he found
the dust quite serious In the Golden
Reward m Imperial mills, the latter
being the worse OF the two, on account
Of the manner in which the mill Is con-
structed. on the level ground, and the
building quite low. In addition to the
style Of the machinery, which consists
largely of belt conveyors, that carry
the ore after crushing, without cover,
through the building from one depart
ment to another. He also found in the
Imperial mill that the men were some
times careless about closing the doors
above the crushers that are calculated
to impound the dust. The Rossiter
plant is not serious enough to warrant
complaint.
Officials Of the companies owning the
mill informed the mine inspector that
they would gladly consider any prac-
teal suggestions for the improvement
Of the ventilation OF the mills and the
abatement Of dust. 1t is really to their
interest, they declared, as every parti-
Gle of dust that escapes means the loss
Of gold values, and If some effective
means were discovered for impoundlng
the dust 1t would effect n big saving to
the owners of the plants.
