OPPOSED
TO JOINT
STATEHOOD
People of Arizona Will Not Con-
sent to Proposition Under
Any Circumstances.
CONDITIONS
Cattle in New Mexico Still in Good
Condition Despite the Drought
Spring Rain Needed However

W. c. Barnes of Dorsey, Colfax Coun-
| ty, ex-member of the legislature and
a large cattle owner, was in Las We
gas last Saturday in attendance on the
| meeting of the Cattle Sanitary Board
of which he is the secretary He had
been in Phoenix, Arizona, where Mrs.
Barnes and child are staying, and on
his way through southern New Mexi-
co was astonished at the good appear
ance of the cattle in Grant and Luna
Counties. He says that the same can
be said of Colfax County, where cat
tie have wintered especially well and
good calf crop is expected providing,
however, that there is some precipita-
ton during the next six weeks. Mr..
Barnes believes that prices have touch
ed rock bottom and that there will be
rise from now on. Mr. Barnes en-
phasizes that the Cattle Sanitary
Board is acting in strict accordance
with the law passed by the legislative
assembly when it sells the stray hors-
es on the range and that the majority
of cattlemen are with the board in
this matter. There is no use in stock
men of southern New Mexico becoming
worked up over the sale of stray
horses, as the board will act fairly
with every man who has just claim
against it.
Mr. Barnes is firmly opposed to joint
statehood with Arizona in any form
or under any condition. He knows by
personal observation that the people
of Arizona are irreconcilably opposed
to it and that the people of New Mex
leo will not be stampeded into acquies-
cence The talk that if New Mexico
lreiects Joint statehood that it will not
get statehood for another SO years, he
declares arrant nonsense. The Re-
publican party will need New Mexico
sooner or later, and it is quite likely
that if joint statehood is downed now,
| that New Mexico will come in as a
state after the presidential election.
Mr.. Barnes is certain that it would
take ten years or more to make New
Mexico and Arizona a homogeneous
whole. He also believes that Arizona
will cast comparatively tremendous
Democratic majority this fall and that
the constitutional convention OF the
proposed joint state, Arizona would be
Democratic by considerable majori-
ty. Mr.. Barnes left Las Vegas on Sun
day morning to attend the Cattle
Growers convention at Roswell.

WATER HAS BEEN STRUCK.
At PortaIes, But the Flow is Weak
Boring Will Be Continued to
Greater Depth.

Artesian water has been struck at
Portales, although the flow Is quite
weak. The pressure from below raised
the water to about seven feet of the
top of the ground and when the drill
was put in the water rose two feet
above the ground, the height of the
casing. When the drill was taken out
of the well; the water rose to the top
and trinkled over. The well is down
about 335 feet in slate clay, just be-
low a top of sandstone. 1t is predict
ed that another layer of rock will be
the one covering the artesian artery.
| No sign of red clay exists, which is
an encouraging sign.

zIMMERMAN'S ENTRY
HELD TO Be ILLEGAL
Recommended for CanceIIation-Tract
Involves Site of Reservoir of Santa
Fe Water and Light Company.

The points involved in the contest
proceedings of w. H. Friedman, man
ager, VS.. J. L. Zimmerman, were
whether or not the Santa Fe Water
and Light Company, after having had
possession of its reservoir site for an
approximate period of "a years in good
faith, believing itself to have title
thereto, could be dispossessed by a
homestead entryman, particularly in
view of the allegations of the contes-
tant that the homestead entry was
made for the purpose of holding up
the Santa Fe Water and Light Com
pany, and in view of the further fact
that portions of the land in question
are mainly under the water of the res
ervoirs and the rest of it is not fit for
cultivation in any manner. The deci-
sion of the register and receiver of the
the water company has title to it's res
ervoir sites that all the equities were
in it's favor and no equities whatsOev-
er are shown in favor of Zimmerman,
the contestee. The authority in sup
port of this principle. is the decision
of the secretary of the interior in re.
Longacre, 80, land decisions, III, the
facts of which are very similar to
those involved in this case. They fur
ther found against the entryman on
the allegation of bad faith, basing it
upon conclusions, that the land was
not fit for cultivation and the establish
ment of home, holding to the infer
ence that Zimmerman's purpose was
not legal and in good faith.
The testimony of Mayor Sparks on
the part of the contestant is sited in
support of the general findings, where
in Sparks stated that Zimmerman had
admitted to him that the land could
be used for no purpose whatsoever, ex-
cept to hold up" the company and
that upon Sparks having protested to
Zimmerman against his action, de-
claring it to be for no other purpose
than to make something out of the
Water Company. Zimmerman did not
deny the assertion. but stood mute,
without saying yes or no. The deci-
sion of the register and receiver in
the case recommends that the home
stead entry made by Zimmerman up.

the winter having been especially fav-.
orable to stock, although there should
be some rain within the next few
months, as there isn't bit of snow in
