MACHEN TRIAL
CONTINUED
First Assistant Postmaster General
Admits He Was Ignorant of
Many Details of Service.

Washington, jan 15-Robert J
Wynne, first assistant postmaster gen
eral, who was on the stand when the
court adjourned Wednesday, today con.
tinued his testimony in the postal
trial. On cross examination he admit
ted that there were many things con
nected with the postoffice department
that he knew nothing about. 81 am
trying to learn he sarcastically re-
marked, "and am doing the best | can. "
He was piled with questions calcu-
lated to test his knowledge of num-
Der of details of the rural free deliv-
cry service, but they were met with a
frank 81 don't know" Asked to de-
scribe what was meant by office rou-
tine as applied to contracts, Wynne
said that certain matters were rou-
tine for him but not for the official
who made the contract. eff the official
is entirely honest" said the witness,
'and had no interest in the contract it
would be routine. But il he was dis
honest, he would follow everything up
and see that the contractor got the full
benefit of the service" Wynne said
that in December, 1902, he had keen
suspicion of Machen and had ceased to
rely on him although he admitted that
he was later guest of Machen in New
York, adding, however that he went
under quite strain of feeling.

for this purpose, and the power devel
oped might be utilized in pumpin,
water from beneath the valley to ex
tend the irrigated area. Until the Dor
|ings for foundations have been com
pleted the feasibility of this projec
cannot be determined The reservoir
however, has much greater capacit!
than any other on the river, and /!
ample to store the floods of wet year:
and to hold them to reinforce the sup
ply in times of extreme drought. 1t is
:, the only proposed reservoir with ca
pacity large enough to utilize the en-
! tire flow OF the drainage basin. 1t il
situated sufficiently low enough in the
basin to intercept practically all the
waters, and yet is sufficiently high to
command enough land to consume all
the available water supply The ex
t emely great capacity here proposed
| is intended largely for the solution OF
the sediment problem, which is the
| most difficult and serious obstacle to
the utilization of the food waters OF
the Rio Grande basin.
The proposed reservoir will not GOV
depends for it's great capacity upon
the high dam and river canon of
very modern declivity, the form of the
reservoir being long and relatively
narrow When such reservoir is
partly filled with sediment, as it will
be soon after construction, large
sluiceways will be opened to provide
for the overflow of water at the bot
tom of the dam, emptying the reser-
voir. The stream will be made to cut
channel for itself through the i'm
pounded sediment.
It. is estimated by this method the
river can be made to sluice out the res
ervOir and to thus maintain a storage
capacity of more than one-half of the
original capacity of the reservoir. To
obtain this result without injury to the
irrigation interests below, it will be
necessary to construct an auxiliary
reservoir further up stream in the
same drainage basin, which will pro-
vide the water supply during the sluic-
ing process. The cost of constructing
such an auxiliary reservoir and the
operation of both the gates of the res
ervoir would be the only expense at
tached to the solution of the sediment
problem by this method. The reser-
voir being relatively deep in proper
tion to it's surface area, there will not
be excessive evaporation.

BANK HELD
UP AT BELEN
Two Masked Men in Broad Day
Light Enter the Building and
Get Away With $500.

Special to New Mexican.
Albuquerque, Jan. 15-The First Ma.
tional Bank at Belen was held up at
noon today by two masked men who
held up the cashier as he stood at his
window and got away with from $500
to $1,000 which was on the counter.
A wire to the sheriff's Office says the
men rode up just at noon wearing
masks. They were mounted on large
bay horses and rode direct to the door
of the bank where they dismounted,
rushed inside and held up the cashier,
R. A. Frost, secured the money on the
counter, which was dumped into bag
and rushing out mounted the horses
and rode away before the cashier had
time to give an alarm. A strong
posse left here for Belen which will
join the posse at Belen in search of
the men.

LIVESTOCK
CONVENTION
An Elastic Currency Advocated and
Transportation Matters Dis
cussed at Closing Session.

Portland, Jan. 15-The closing ses
sion of the National Livestock Conven
tion today was devoted to the compile
ton of large amount of routine bust
ness. Addresses were listened to on
various phases of the industry and
there was a continued discussion of
railroad and forest reserve matters.
A resolution was passed advocating
| an elastic currency. President Spring
er explained that the object was to get
currency of such elasticity that the
stock man would not have twelve per
cent money and Wall Street gamblers
have four per cent money" In rela-
tion to transportation matters a resolu-
tion was passed calling upon the trans
portation committee to meet as soon
as possible and demand the transporta-
ton companies, ito cease their abusive
treatment of the livestock industry"
Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews of
the University of Nebraska delivered
an address on the subject rs the Pro-
duction of Livestock Keeping Pace
With the Demand?"
Portland, Jan. 15--A number of spe-
cial resolutions prepared by the exec
utive committee were adopted includ-
ing the following: Protesting against
the operation of lieu land law and
recommending the investigation of a
bill on the scrip" method now before
Congress, commenting the action Of
President Roosevelt in appointing a
commission to investigate the public
question and the transfer OF the CON
troll of these lands from the depart
ment of the interior to that of agricul-
ture, recommending the entire subject
of reserves to be given into the hands
of the secretary Of agriculture.
The following officers were elected:
President Frank J. Hagenbarth,
Idaho; first vice president, H. A. Jas
tro, California; second vice president,

SENATOR TELLER ON
CANAL QUESTION
Says the Subject Should Be Viewed
From Non Partisan Stand
poiut.

Washington, Jan. 15-In the Senate
today Teller delivered an address on
the canal question saying that the sub
ject should be treated from a non-p
tisan standpoint. He thought. how
ever, that whenever the President
transcribed his duty the fact should
be pointed out.
In the present instance he did not
doubt the good intention of the Presi-
dent but he was distrustful of his
wisdom in what he had done. He had
no complaint to make against Panama
for he thought the people of that coun-
try had right to enter upon revolu-
tion. Indeed he thought if he had
lived in Panama he would have been
rebel himself. This right of the
Panamanians did not, however, alter
the duty of the United States to re-
main neutral.
Previous to Teller's remarks, Cor
man had the Panama resolution laid
before the Senate and after being
amended by German by the striking
out of the word Intervention" where
ever it appears so as to make the in
quiry concerning the use of American
military forces, the resolution was laid
for the day.

son, receiver of the United States lane
office at Clayton, in the lobby of the
Palace Hotel last evening.
"a half dozen very fine new resi-
dences are going UP in Clayton at the
present time, and the town has gen
eral air of thrift and prosperity
Union County, itself. of which Clayton
is the county seat, is one of the rich

taxable returns.
Large Wool and Sheep Shipments.
clayton shipped about 100000
pounds of wool this year the average
price being 13 1-2 cents a pound.
Clayton being the shipping point of
Union County, about 100000 head of
sheep were shipped the average price
being $175 head including wethers.
About 10000 cattle were also shipped,
at from SIS to SIG head.
''The county is now one of the most
law abiding sections Of the Territory,
Justice is dispensed in Union County
by Chief Justice w. J. Mills, whose i'm
partial, fair and honest decisions have
made him so popular with even the
Democrats, that in convention assem-
bled they endorsed him, and regretted
he was a Republican. The Republi-
cans of Clayton County consider it a
great compliment that their presiding
judge should be held in such high es-
TEEN by the opposition.
Large U. S. Land Office Business.
The United States land office at
Clayton has the largest number OF
homestead entries of any land office
in New Mexico. The receipts of the
Clayton land Office last year were $24,-
900. The county is being settled very
fast, and with very desirable class of
settlers
"The First National Bank of Clay
ton, which was organized by H. j.
Hammond of the First National Bank
of Dalhart, Texas has deposits aggre
eating $150,000. The town also boasts
of an excellent electric light and water
system, of which Robert P, Ervein, is
owner and manager
Fioated and Bonded Debt.
The total f1oated and bonded debt
is $4,000 and the amount of taxable

fine grazing lands, and along the line
of the mesa there are almost mex
haustible deposits of coal, the land
still belonging to the government.
Union County will send a strong

Capital Light and Power Com
pany Meeting.

"Our Territory, New Mexico, wants
to be admitted into the union at once,
and well we should be, for we have a
population of 275,000, and feel satisfied
that the number will be increased to
double the number in five years should
our request be granted" said A. R.
Gibson of Santa Fe, New Mexico, to
the Toledo Times at the Boody yes
terday
Besides" he continued, 1--WE have
within our borders more natural re-
sources than ever existed in any
state west of the Mississippi River
before it's admission. These natural
| opportunities would bring capital, and
millions of acres of land owned by the
government would be purchased and
developed by irrigation. The cattle
raising industry is thriving, and less
percentage of loss is recorded from
this section of the country than from
any other cattle raising district. The
mining industry is on the boom at the
present time, and miners are flocking
there from all over the country We

played with comfort every day of the
year. AS to insects of all kinds, Santa
Fe is an exception, and we are free
from all mosquitoes and insect pests.

This is sort of an outdoor sanitar-

body today refused to order the release
of Sherman Parker, leader of the
Western Federation of Miners who was

oner, that additional charges were be-
ing prepared against Parker and would
be filed in the Teller County court.
The nature of the new charges was

Arthur P. Davis and w. NJ Reed, Ell
gineers of the Y. 8. reclamation sci
vice. have submitted reports GOVERNS
their work in New Mexico and sam
will shortly appear in the second re
clamatiOn report.
The work of Mr.. Davis and his part
has been wholly in the drainage bash
OF the Rio Grande, the work bein,
largely to supplement that of previous
investigations made by the bureau. MI
Davis had under particular considera
ton the international dam and rese
voir above Ell Paso and the Elephar
Butte reservoir site.
The first project involves the con
struction Of a masonry dam to reach
about 60 feet above low water in the
Rio Grande. Such a dam would form
a reservoir about Is miles in length
four miles in greatest width covering
$4,000 acres, and having capacity OF
about $4,000 acre feet. The estimated
cost of the entire project is $4,000, ,00U
of which large proportion is due to
the expense of moving sixteen miles
of railroad line above the reach #
high waters in the reservoir.
The Elephant Butte site was investi.
gated by c.. Fl. Fitch and James A.
French, and small party was kept IT
work during the summer making a 10
geographic map of the canon. A vp'y
careful survey was made of dam 81 Z
short distance below the one selc,nt-
order to investigate it's feasibility. 1t
was found that a dam could be built
about one-half mile below Elephant
Butte to height of 10 feet, VIII, IN
would throw the wafer through VI
vide to the west, f5rming a natural
spillway. The surveys show that such
dam would form reservoir nearly
40 miles in length with a storage capa-
city approximately of l,494,775 acre
feet. Borings at the proposed dam site
were begun in October. In August a
contour survey was begun in order to
map and classify the lands involved in
the construction of diversion canal
and which would be covered by a canal
for irrigation. An area of about 100
square miles has been completed to
date.
1t is possible that considerable pow
er could be developed by the construc-
tion of an irrigating canal in such
manner as to concentrate the surplus
fall at points where it may be utilized
