ton. To build stone basement for
the proposed high school building will
entail an additional cost of $4,000,
quite an item when the present needs
of the school district are considered.
However, the board may be willing to
put in stone foundation and to use
stone sills and caps for the windows
and doors, thus attaining the desired
architectural effect, and to build the
basement of Clipped vitrified brick
which would afford sufficient contrast
to relieve the monotony of a plain, all
brick building. Otto Retsch today put
force of twelve men to work to clear
the site of the proposed high school
and the penitentiary has commenced
the delivery of brick to the site. 1t
will be but few months until the city
will have school building of which
no citizen need to be ashamed. In the
meanwhile, those who have sugges-
tions to make will be given courteous
hearing at any meeting Of the board,
for the board is only too glad to learn
of the wishes of citizens on any mat
ter regarding the public schools"

Packers Ask Concession.

Chicago, July 25-Representatives of
the Independent packers called on the
strike officials, after the livestock
handlers went out, to ask for special
provision for allowing them to secure
cattle from the yards in the regular
way. Officials of the allied packing
houses trades have promised to take
the question up at formal meeting.
Meanwhile the sympathetic strike will
spread rapidly. When the scale men
quit they left unweighed cattle on the
scales. Not all of the machinists went
out. The strike soon involved every
craft at the stock yards except team
sters.
The joint conference between the
teamsters ended without making much,
If any, progress. The packers demand
that the union men come to them with
a definite proposition.
After the adjournment of the peace
conference the fact developed that the
sympathetic strike had been officially
authorized by the proper boards of all
allied trades, with the exception of
the teamsters. Engineers and firemen
were allowed to remain at their posts
until o'clock this evening. The SYM
pathetic strike has not yet taken place
in Kansas City, st. Louis, st. Joseph
and Omaha, but the men will go out
when the order is received

DIFFICULTIES IN
OPERATING RAILROAD
Locomotive Power on the FL Paso &
Northeastern is in Bad
Condition.

Probably the greatest difficulty ex-
perienced in the operating of the Ell
Paso & Northeastern Railway is the
fact that the motive power is disabled.
It is claimed that large percentage OF
the locomotives are in bad shape and
will require general overhauling. Four
new engines have arrived at Alamogor,
do and will be placed in service at
once. This will enable the company to
send in several of the disabled locomo'
tives. The installation of the new
water purifying processes which were
recently put in at various points along
the line where the supply was poor is
also helping matters great deal.
Recently the company took up the
advisability of splitting the division at
Alamogordo and Santa Rosa and max
ing two divisions out of the run. The
division as it is now operated is 1876
miles in length and if divided in two
would make division from Gallinas to
Santa Rosa 100 miles and division
from Gallinas to Alamogordo, SO miles
The contract the company has with
the engineers and trainmen calls for
100 miles as the minimum run when on
the road, it was thought the loss OF
four miles on each run between Ala
mogordo and Gallinas would prove too
much of an expense, however, to war
rant splitting the runs and the matter
is still in allegiance.

j. R. Farwell, chief engineer of the

line to the Hagan coal fields and thence
to Pima vetitos will be constructed at
the same time that work is going on

The new SCHOOL BUILDING.
Reasons for Economy at This Time
Clearing the Ground for the Pro-
posed New Structure.

A member of the board of education,
in order to clear Misrepresentation
that seems to exist as to the resources
of the board for putting up new school
buildings, today made the following
statement:
eve have a little over 100000 avail
able for building purposes. OF the
bond issue of $2S,OOO by the board that
preceded us, we succeeded in selling
$4,000 at par and accrued interest,
but received word last evening that the
other $4,000 had been turned down by
the prospective buyers upon legal ad-
vice given them. We are making ef-
forts now to place these bonds and ev-
en- If we cannot sell them at par, and
by law we must sell them at par, we
can sell enough of the Fort Marcy res
ervation to bring in the money needed
to complete the high school building
as planned. However, considering the
inadequacy of the water supply, the
untoward conditions prevailing over
the Territory owing to the drouth,
losses of sheep and cattlemen, sus-
pension of railroad construction, which
all make their influence felt in this
city, this is an inopportune time to
place large quantity of city lots up
on the market and it will be out of the
question to secure 100000 or any sum
near that, for the lands given to the
city of Santa Fe for public school pur-
poses. 1t must be remembered, that
ward buildings are almost as neces-
sary as the high school building and
that it would be wise to use part of
the proceeds from the sale of lands to-
ward the sinking fund for the bond is
sue and thus reduce the rate of taxa

of mercantile marine, taking matters
into his own hands and commissioning
the vessels in the volunteer fleet to
seize merchantmen in the Red Sea. 1t
is understood that the Emperor cen

Reclamation Service Recon-
mends Diyerting Dam at Pen
asco and Work IN La Plata.
IRRIGATION
ENTERPRISES
New Mexico is Beginning to Get That
Attention 1t Should Have Had
Before This.

The government has practically
agreed to put in diverting dam at a
point called Penasco, Dona Ana COun-
ty, which is located some six miles
further up the river than the present
head of the Las Cruces ditch, and the
; survey is already being made.
The total cost is expected to be
about 100000, which will be repaid in
ten years by the 10000 acres which
are at present under the Las Cruces
and Mesilla bitches. The dam will go
down to bed rock and will not only
insure good supply of water whenev-
er there is water in the river, but may
develop the underfow to such an ex.
tent that the supply may be perma-
nent.
During the past 20 years the farmers
have frequently suffered for lack of
water, not because there was none in
the river but because there was so
much that it washed away the primi-
tive head of the aceQuia.
The new dam will at least overcome
this difficulty. Furthermore, just above
the Penasco there is always big pool
of water, even in the dryest season,
SO that there are good signs of per.
manent spring and an underfow,
which the new dam may develop.
The best authorities believe that the
flow in the river may be depended up
on to be in the future just about what
it has been in the past and the alfalfa
farmers say that if by means of a
permanent head to their ditch they
can insure getting water whenever
there is als in the river they will be
more than contented, and will be quite
willing to charge their lands to repay
the government advance over ten
s5ars.

would result in putting under irriga-
tion much fertile land. He made re-
port to Chief Engineer Newell at head
quarters in Washington, that the Sec
ton of country ought to be examined
thoroughly by full corps of engineers
because it undoubtedly holds many
feasible projects for irrigation enter
prises. About the same time that this

H. w. Campbell of Lincoln, Nebraska
Urges Young Men to Remain on
the Farm.

'The task of kee ping the boys OF
the farm, particularly in the south ant
west, has been a hard one for the farm
err" says H. W. Campbell, of Lincoln
Nebraska, who spent the past two
days in Santa Fe at the Claire. ''In or
der to accomplish the best results the
boys must be turned back If they are
once convinced that they can make
| fair returns from their efforts, they
will not want to leave. The trouble
for some time has been in the fact
that farming is an uncertainty, and
this uncertainty drives the younger
generation to the city, where monthly
wages are paid whether it rains or not
When once shown that there is a way
to farm that will make the results as
sure as the salary in the city, it will
be found that the boy will return to
the farm. This is one of the aims of
the agricultural school. My advice is
not to get away from nature, but to
get nearer if possible, drink pure
water, breathe pure air and eat pure
unadulterated foods. No matter how
far you have pursued learning, or to
what degree of refinement and ele-
gance your. accomplishments have
reached, you will need them all to take
first rank as farmer Chemistry,
physics and astronomy are the present
necessary equipment for the leaders
in the science of successful farming;
and languages and the classics are a
substantial aid. Above all things do
not look down on farming, as busi-
ness, or permit anyone to disparage it |
in your presence without just rebuke. |
Think over the ways Of the great city |
and then forever afterward avoid it, |
Buy land and improve it and increase
your fortune by its enhanced value
which is sure to come Remain on the
