THE oALLIMAs RESERVOIR.

The people Of Las Vegas received
with the liveliest appreciation the
news contained In The Optic Of last
night that the government had adj
thorized a preliminary survey OF tho
Gallinas with a view to selecting ~
site for a big storage reservoir. It
will be remembered that Engineer,
Read Of Roswell, who made a short
visit to the Gallinas country, was par.
tlcularly impressed with a great nat
ural basin a few miles above the city
as a desirable location.
Engineer Read does mol believe Ia
a reservoir in the stream itself. but
In all cases where practical he advo
Gates the diversion of the waters.
II was because Of the advantageous
opportunity for the diversion OF the
waters Of the Gallinas and the Sapello
into the natural basin that he was
SO favorably impressed with the con-
ditions. His report to the department
must have been very favorable, for as
soon ais 1t was received by Chief Hy-
drographer Newell instructions were
tclegraphed to begin the work 1t
once.
1t may be taken for granted that
II the government surveyors find by
actual measurements extending over
a sufficient period that the supply Of
water Is large enough to insure the
irrigation OF a large tract OF land, one
OF the first reservoirs will be estab
lished here. A better natural site for
a reservoir doesn't exist. The waters
can be led at a minimum expense ovel
an immense area or ~resourceful mess
land. And that test regarding the
supply of water will result favorably
those who know the Gallinas and tht
Sapello, who realize the immense
quantities of water that are carried
away at flood time, will have no doubt
The citizens Of Las Vegas have ev
cry reason to congratulate themselve,
over the bright prospect. At last al
enterprise Is on foot In the promotion
and carrying forward Of which ever

steps Of which were thronked with dis
tinguished personages, including the
viceroy's American and British guests
and the delegates from the colonies
and from other parts Of the empire
The enormous animals shunled slowly
by. many OF the massive howdAhs Of
quaint and rich design being surmount-
ed by magnificent canopies Of gold
embroidered and bejeweled tapestry
The bodies Of the animals were almost
hidden by their trappings of crimson,
purple and gold.
Bands of gold encircled their tusks.
golden bracelets were on their ankles.
gold and silver bells were hanging
from their neck chains and their heads
were painted and decorated in every
conceivable color. The mahouts were
clad in the brightest attire. as were
the attendant spearmen who marched
by the elephants side.
In the rear of the procession rode
General Lord Kitchener. commander
in-chief of India, surrounded by bril-
liant staff. and followed by the heads
of provinces. with escorts OF Indian
cavalry and tribal leaders from beyond
the border line. Down the main street
moved the cortege through lines Of ga
luting soldiers and excited, surging sa
laaming throngs of natives; through
the ancient city with the balconies and
house tops teeming with life, and
through the Moree gate into the open
park beyond. There. after a four-mile
march, the elephants of the viceroy
and the Duke of Connaught halted side
by side, and the pageant was conclud-
ed with the great princes filing by,
their elephants trumpeting salute.
The viceroy was in state uniform.
Lady Curzon was dressed in gray. The
Duke of Connaught had on field
marshal's uniform and the Duchess OF
Connaught was attired in blue. They
received tiattering welcome at all
points.
