impossiblei Is the Communication la*. "
Here we are informed that the law
itself is a fraud. How singular
And the jury carries this charge to
the conclusion that the man who takes
advantages Of this law is fraudulent,
for it continues now the Communication
clause merely gives the dishonest
claimant the chance to sell ont after
he has held his property little over
year" Dishonest claimant :"
Will somebody tell Us how man be-
comes a dishonest claimant" who
iles upon piece Of land according to
the law and commutes the same ac-
cordinR to the law? Is it possible
that United States grand jury would
overlook the fact that the millions of
acres Of scrip now owned by a few,
canEot be disposed of by the repeal of
the Stone and Timber Act or the
Communication law or the making or
unmaking Of any law? Is it not a
fact that our government has entered
into contract to furnish lieu lands,
acre for acre, for the SCRIPT already
issued and the apparent proposition Of
the scrip owners is to get the most
valuable lands they can in lieu. This
can be had by disposing of the COM
mon people in the repeal of the Tim
ber and Stone Act and commutation
laws and then reopeninR the lands
which have been apparently set aside
to create a forest reserve while we be-
lieye the real purpose was TO stop the
progress Of the common people filing
timber claims and homesteads until
such time as tho sTndicates could
lobby through a repeal of the Timber
and Stone Act and Communication laws
which were proving to be so disas-
trons to their interests, as the common
people could singly act quicker than
tho syndicate scrip people could in
the matter of cruising and filing,
since large bodies of necessity, move
slowly. And further, it is clear that
the scr p owner wants his holdings
in large, 'olid tracts and not with the
best quarter sectors cut out BY the
filings Of the common people through
the Stone and Timber Act aud Com
mutation laws.
Is it possible that the q. S. grand
jury are not aware that there is now
scrip enough IN the hands Of the few
to cover all the most valuable lands
which are now held by the Unit ed
States in forest reserve aud otherwise Z
Is it not a fact therefore that if the
Stone and Timber Act aud Commu-
tation laws are repealed that the
value Of the scrip would be enhanced
from probably 81 to SEQ per acre
which would mean from s., 600, 600 10
500, 600, 600 for each million acres of
scrip which they now hold. 1t is
clear, therefore that a large amount
of lobbying can be done on small
per cent of the profit that will be
made by the syndicates who now hold
the scrip, were the Stone and Tim
ber Act and Communication laws repeal,
ed.
Therefore whether it Is or is not
fact that there is an enormous amount
of lobbying being done and pressure
brought to bear for the repeal of
these laws, is it not a fact that the
syndicates or company owning this
scrip will be worth hundreds of mill
ions Of dollars more after these laws
are repealed and the forest reserves
thrown openy W. b. SHERMAN.

1t will now be in order for the
city government to seriously con
slider how in the future to take
care of these floods. So long as
the water fall and runs down hill
it is certain that every few years
Roswell will have this amount Of
water to take care of. The ques
ton is how can this water be
most economically handled and
this damage of to-day prevented
Roswell must be better prepared
to handle the next flood. We
must profit by the experience OF
today.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox when God
sends floods, why let floods be
our choice.

Thanks to the arroyo that
takes much of the water of the
Hondo river out of it's regular
course. II all this water had
come down Roswell would have
been swept away. But this ar
roya leads the waters off on the
prairies and today on the south
and west of us there is a sheet
of water for miles. Confined to
a narrower course this water
would do untold damage.
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1904-09-30

If it had not been for govern
ment red tape the Hondo reser-
voir would have been completed
by this time. The water that is
now coursing through the streets
would have been appropriated
for irrigating purposes for
months to come, and the am
cunt of water that the reservoir
could not have taken care of
would have done little damage,
Let us hope the reservoir will be
completed by the coming OF the
next flood of waters.

COURT ISSUES RULE.
John w. Patterson Required to Pay
Claim of $500.

Upon application OF the defendant in the
case of John w. Patterson against Cathe--
rine West and others, Justice Gould. in
Equity Court No. 2, has issued a rule upon
the complainant (Patterson) requiring him
to pay the money involved in the proceed
ings, amounting to 5000, into the registry
Of the court on or before the 18th instant.
The action taken by the court was based
upon the answer filed by the defendant,
Catherine West, who ayerred that having
employed Patterson to represent her in the
settlement of claim held by her against
street railroad company for damages
ON account of personal injuries he COM
promised her suit for 5000 and, she de-
clares, refuses to turn over to her the
money.
Patterson by his bill declares that in addi-
ton to part of the fund being due him for
professional services. several alleged
claims against the defendant, Catherine
West, have been presented to him, and he
insisted that 1t would be improper for him
to pay over the money before settlement Of
these.

ed the defendant, Catherine West, and MI.

The Commissioners of the District Of

board of education
After a faithfully continued service of
eight years. five years as school trustee
and three years as a member of the board
Of education he has by reason of increased
business pressures and interests, which de-
mand SO much of his time and thought an
to make it impossible for him to give to
the interests of the schools that amount Of
time which he feels is essential to their
progress, declined said reappointment.
This present board for the past three
years mas been Denef1ted by the contribu-
ton of his larger experience in school af-
fairs, by his breadth of thoughtful consider
alton of all educational questions as they
arose from time to time. by his forceful
and energetic advocacy of elimination of
the personal equation in the solution of all
such questions, and by his exemplary and
sacrificial attitude toward the upbuilding
of every phase of our educational system.
Therefore, this board expresses its deep
and sincere regret at his declination of a
reappointment, thus severing a relation that
has unswervingly promoted the educational
interests of this community"
