AT the same time Hon. L.
Bradford Prince showed that
New Mexico contains, with two

than that contained in any terri.
tory in the United States upon
Its reception into the Union as a
State.
These statements and the state
ments Of other influential citi-
zens of New Mexico, men of both
political beliefs, created a pro-
found impression upon the men,
bers of the committee, who had
previously heard little of our
territory except through the dis
torted and libelous Beveridge re-
port.
The opponents of single state
hood in the Senate have no tan
glble argument to offer in support
of their opposition. New Mexi-
co has fulhlled-aye, more than
fulfilled every known require
ment, and it remains for the peo-
pie of the territory merely to fol-
low up the sensible statements of

Sparks, Rodey and others before

mand and the doors of the United
States, so long closed against us,

A HINT FROM IOWA.
Legislative Action Regarding Neu-
trality Is Proposed.

Des Moines, Feb. 19.-The house COM
rnittee on federal relations of the Iowa
legislature has received a resolution
calling attention to the possible effects
of the present Japanese Russian war on
Christian civilization and commerce in
the far e&st; of the uniform kindly at
titude of Russia toward this country
during our entire history; their sympa-
thy for our struggle for independence
and their great service to us during the
war of the rebellion. 1t urges that as
a neutral power we should carefully re-
frain from expressing a sympathy that
would indicate that we are unmindful
of past favers. If the time comes when
hict we should, it says. cast our lot
with power that is friendly rather
than commercially unfriendly to us.

working parts of pump No. 5. Under
normal pressure there was no indica-
ton of slippage in either cylinder. I'm
der fire pressure there was observable
the sound of some slippage in one cyl
inder. The amount of this Slippage
could not be aScertained by such inveS-
tigation as could be made in the time
at our command. This slippage indica-
ted that the wearing parts of the inter
ior of the cylinder will need to be re-
placed in the near future. These re-
placements are such as have been pro-
vided as above stated for No.4,and are a
frequently recurring expense incident
to the operation of pumps These parts
wear far more rapidly when the water
pumped contains grit than when it is
free from grit.
While No. was doing the heavy
work of maintaining fire pressure it
was delivering water at the rate of
rather more than 100000 gallons a
day, less whatever loss there was from
slippage.

The water supply is furnished by one
open well and % driven points. (Here
follows description of method of con-
struction).

diameter. The delivery pipe is Is inches
in diameter.

cursory observations made, we found

and evidently in efficient and careful
hands. Respectfully submitted.

E. B. COWGILL.
In making it's report to the council
at this same time. the waterworks
committee said:
I'VE believe the plant is in as good
condition as 1t was when the voters of
the city decided upon it's purchase, or
binary wear and tear excepted. 1t is
matter of common knowledge that
all machinery depreciates by constant
use, but if incidental repairs are made
as needed the machinery in question, in
the judgment of your committee, will
be for a long term of years as service
able as it is now.
Your committee believe, however,
that the capacity of the plant is insult
ficient for the needs of the city, and
that almost Immediately upon taking
over the plant, the city will be con-
fronted with a probable expenditure of
twenty to thirty thousand dollars in
order to provide the required capacity.

RECOMMENDS A MUNICIPAL
PLANT.

The committee appointed by the city
council, some time ago to look up the
matter of establishing "A municipal cleo
tric light plant has placed its report on
file recommending that such plant be
installed for lighting the streets and
public buildings of our city. II, as the
committee states, that one-half the
present rates can be saved to the tax
payers by installing such plant, then
il certainly should become a reality
1t is a proposition calling for consid-
cradle outlay of money and therefore
it should have the most careful consid
GRAFTON possible.
The committees report seemingly
only figures on one set of machinery TO
do the lighting; of course, the city
could not afford to depend upon one
engine, one boiler, one dynamo, etc,
rs a break down in any one piece
would close down the whole plant
This is only one item and there may
be others. The water works station is
not large enough to accommodate
more machinery and an addition would
have to be built Hence the PH.OT adj

to be exchanged for title.
