Some NAV he misled hv tn

SOME may be misled by the
statement that it doesn't make
much difference who is elected
president, there is no danger OF
the United States going to the
evil. Right there is where they
make q mistake. The republican
policy OF protection may not be
responsible for all the blessings
we enjoy, but it is like money
We can't get along without it.
1t has furnished more work at
better wages than any policy
that has ever been adopted. 1t
has furnished n market for the
produce of the farmer. 1t has
made buyers Of men who without
it would have nothing to buy
with, and as q consequences the
trader has flourished. While it
has built up magnificent fort
unes for some men, it has also
been the means Of distributing
among the masses more money
than they could have secured as
wage workers under any other
system. 1t has enabled more
men to build their own homes
and has been a greater stimulus
to industry than all of the re-
forms established by the demo
cratic party since it became Il
Observation-Disclosures.

AFTER q weeks inquiry we feel
justified in entertaining a favor
able impression OF the ticket
which has been placed before the
people by the republicans OF
Kootenai County, and in con-
curing in the sentiments ex-
pressed and endorsements given
in the platform which was
adopted. Considered in it's en-
tirety the ticket is IL strong one,
probably one OF the strongest
ever nominated in kootenai
county, and the places have been
well distribu ted geographically
The concensu Of republican
opinion is that all the nominees
are worthy republicans and good
honorable citizens in whose
hands the people can safely in
trust their public affairs. The
conduct Of county business un-
der the present encumbents has
been clean and able and the
nominees will make worthy sue
cessors. Points OF interest con-
corning the candidates, will ap-
pear in subsequent issues OF the
TRIBUNE.

EVERY prominent republican
who iiourishes any hope for

fare, and the continued success
OF the republican party.

colas Quntana.
Very little progress was made in the
examination of tax returns and their
approval, it appearing to the board
that a number OF the tax schedules
were not properly made out, not con-
tanning detailed descriptions of the real
estate and not being in compliance
with law in other directions. Assessor
NJ. A. Ortiz was before the board and
claimed that the schedules and tax
rolls were properly prepared.
Travelling Auditor Charles V. SAT-
ford was also in attendance and in
formed the board that, in his opinion.
the tax rolls and many of the tax
schedules were not filled out and pre-
pared in accordance with law. The
board has this matter under considera
ton.
In the account of the proceedings of
the board held on Monday last and
published in yesterdays New Mexican
the following error occurred: 1t was
stated that the bondsmen of exTreas
urer G. W. Knaebel asked the approval
of certain claims for allowances for
commissions on delinquent taxes col
lected, for rent, telephone service and
other incidentals amounting to over
$1,700. Among them being commits
sions at 4 per cent on delinquent tax
es amounting to $4,000 collected. This
latter sum is in reality $4,000 and
should have been SO stated.

WATER FOR
Ell PAS0
Pennsylvania Capitalists viii
Supply the Pass City's Most
Pressing Need.
A $4,000, 900 PROJECT
The Survey Has Been Completed and
incorporation Papers We're Filed
BY the Projectors Today.

Articles Of incorporation for the
Mimbres River Water Company were
filed today with the secretary of the
Territory. The articles of incorporation
set forth that the company has been
organized for the purpose of carrying
on the business of a water company.
to build reservoirs, canals and to sup
ply water for irrigation public and pri-
vate use, municipal. mining and other
purposes: to build electric light and
power plants for supplying electric
! lights for domestic and public uses in
| the city OF FL Paso and other com
munities. The capitalization is 81
100000 divided into 10000 shares of a
par value of 500 each. The principal
| place OF business is Albuquerque and
the term of existence is so years. The
directors for the first year are George
W. Delamater. James S. Delamater and
Allan G. Kennedy. The incorporators
are: George W. Deamater, James S.
Delamater of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania;
Allan G. Kennedy Of Santa Fe; Will
lam B. Childers and Edward l.. Med
Ter of albuquerque, New Mexico.
The projectors belong to the same
group of capitalists who built the San
ia Fe Central Railway The preimi-
nary arrangements for the construc-
ton of large water works to supply
the city of Ell Paso have been complet-
ed. A natural reservoir site on the
Florida plains south of Deming in
Luna County will be utilized. The un-
derflow of the Mimbres has been test
ed and measured and has been found
ample to supply much larger city
than Ell Paso with water The water
will be pumped into the main reservoir
and subsidiary reservoirs and piped to
El Paso, the survey of the pipe line fol-
lowing the Southern Pacific Railway
via Cambray and Lanark, for the great
er part of the distance. The water is
| the purest to be found in the south
west and enough to supply Ell Paso
with drinking water has been hauled
for years from Deming to the Pass
City. which stands sorely in need of a
better water supply than it commands
at present. The project has been de-
termined to be a feasible one although
the pipe line will be almost 100 miles
long and will cost about $1,000 a mile.
Engineer A. G. Kennedy has opened an
office at Ell Paso where the drafts and
plans for the plant and pipe line are
being completed under the direction
of John C. Balcomb of this city. The
entire works are to be completed within
less than two years as ample capital
is ready to sustain the enterprise.
