SMITH AGAIN
ON THE STAND
Questioned in Regard to Interview
With Representative of Asso-
ciate Press Acknowledged
Favoring Shoots Election.

Washington, March 9-President
Joseph Smith was recalled in Senator
Smoot's case today He was question
ed as to his interview with a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press in
1902, giving statistics in regard to the
church and the number of polygamists
in Utah. Smith said the entire inter-
view consisted of statistics and that
he said nothing for the purpose of sup
porting Smoot for the Senatorship. Up
on the reading of the interview Smith
that he had been quoted
correctly in regard to Smoot and had
urged his election. Smith was asked
about Benjamin Clough, Jr., president
Of the Brigham Young Academy and
said he is reputed to be polygamist.
He was also asked about Abraham
Cannon and if the general charge had
not been that he took plural wife,
Lillian Hamlin, since the manifesto Of
1890. Smith said that had been a news
paper charge and he paid no attention

TORRANCE NEIGHBOR-
HOOD SETTLING UP
Homesteads Being Taken and School
Sections Leased From Territory.
Water Developed BY Wells.

| r. B. Wilson, surveyor and civil
engineer, has just returned from two
months stay in eastern Valencia and
northeastern Lincoln Counties where
he has been on professional work. A
good many new settlers have come in
to that section of New Mexico. Dur
ing the time he has been away, he has
surveyed thirteen school sections,
which have been leased from the Ter
ritory by people living upon them. He
has also surveyed about 25 homestead
locations as well as determined many
spots for the digging or drilling OF
wells The stockmen have been COM
PEELED by the present drouth to adopt
the plan of either digging or drilling
wells to supply water for their sheep
and cattle. This has proved success
full, as water is found in that vicinity
at from 40 to rs feet in the valley and
at so to 200 feet on the mesas. The
water in the more shallow wells is
found by digging and in the wells on
the mesas by drilling or driving pipes.
There have been very few losses of
stock so far and with an increased
water supply through the agencies of
wells, stockmen are of the opinion
that there will be but few losses this
spring, especially if some rains should
come soon Mr.. Wilson says that the
settlers are a very good class of peo-
pie; most of them own sheep and
good many Of them in addition to
sheep, have a few head of cattle. The
dry lake bottoms which are generally
filled in the rainy season and of which
there are numbers in that section, are
mostly taken up by stockmen under
land script, and water in such locali-
ties, is at a comparatively speaking
shallow depth. Mr.. Willison expects
to leave shortly again for Lincoln
County where work of the kind he has
Just finished awaits him. The section
in which he has been operating is with
in radius of 25 miles in each direc-
ton from Torrance, the junction of the
Santa Fe Central Railway and Ell Paso
& Northeastern Railroad about 116
miles southeast of this city.

FOOT BRIDGE OVER
THE SAN JUAN
Has Been Constructed Below Farming
ton for the Use Of the Public.

Has Been Constructed Below Farming
ton for the Use Of the Public.
The foot bridge across the San Juan
River near Pennington which was re-
Gently completed is ready for use and
is so well constructed as to be per-
fectly safe. The walk is two feet wide
and rests upon cross-ties of two by
four pieces, two feet apart, which in
turn rest upon two steel cables three
fourth of an inch in diameter, with q
capacity of nine tons to each cable
These cables are strengthened by two
similar ones which are located about
four feet above the base. The space
between the two cables is covered by
woven wire, which makes it utterly
impossible for a child to fall from the
bridge. The length of the span Is $50
feet. The bridge is located at the site
of the old ferry below Pennington. It
will be free to the public. This will be q
great advantage in the time OF high
water and will bring many a dollar In
to Pennington that would otherwise be-
diverted. N. IT. Bowman and Ars.
Samuel Rugh were the architects. and
Mr.. Bowman superintended the work.

Russians Uncommunicative.
!. st. Petersburg, March 9-The Asso-
ciated Press is informed on the high
est authority that up to o'clock this
afternoon, no word of battle between
the Reitzstein and Urai squadrons has
been received. 1t is evident, however,
hat news of such fight would not
surprise the authorities.
They will not say whether the Rus
sian squadron was outside Vladivo-
stock when the Japanese appeared
but it is firmly believed that it was
outside.
Japanese Land Forces Appear.
Washington, March 9-The govern
ment has received advices by cable
from Che Foo opposite Port Arthur to
the effect that Japanese land forces
have appeared at Fung Wang Chang
and at Tashan. No details are fur
nished.
United States an Unknown Quantity.
st. Petersburg, March 9-The mis-
giving existing in high quarters here
regarding the ultimate aims and pur-
poses of the foreign policy of the Uni
ted States were verified today in re-
markable statement given to the Asso-
ciated Press Were it not for sim
gle unknown quantity the European
situation at present would be as per
feet as possible. For the avoidance of
one thing, every chancellor of Europe
has been straining every nerve--name-
ly to prevent the ENHANCEMENT of an
outside power in this war. That un-
known quantity is your state depart

Toxic, Tuesday, March S-Delayed
in transmission)-It is believed here
that there has already been decisive
engagement in the vicinity of Vladi-
vostock and tidings of it are anxiously
awaited. The Japanese fleet did not, Ii
is said, go to Vladivostock for the pur-
pose of a bombardment, but to locate
and attack the Russian fleet stationed
there 1t is understood that when the
Japanese fleet arrived on Sunday 1t
found the Russian fleet absent. If this
is true it gives the Japanese fleet the
battle close into the shore batteries. 1t
is doubted il the Japanese withdrew
the whole squadron unless the location
OF the enemy was discovered There
is a strong possibility that the Japan
ese found the Russian ships in the vi
cinity of Possiet Bay, and gave them
battle there.
The Retzivan RefIoated.
Port Arthur, March 9-The hole in
the hull of the Russian battleship Ret
vizan which was made during the first

FLOOD CONDITIONS
ALARMING
Susquehanna River Continues to Rise.
High Water Mark of 1902 A.
most Reached.

Wilkesbarre Pa, March 9-The
flood situation here is more serious
than yesterday. Today the river is 30
feet, six inches above the low water
mark. This is within nine inches OF
the high water mark of the great
food of 1902. The temperature has
fallen 20 degrees within five hours and
this should bring some relief.
Looking west from River Street
nothing can be seen but an expanse OF
water over the lowlands. Practically
the same conditions prevail all along
the river to Danville, so miles below
here and the loss will be greater than
sustained in any previous flood.

THREE FIRES in ONE WEEK.
Flames Did Damage to the Extent OF
5000 in Roswell.-The Insurance
Was Only $500.

Fire totally destroyed the residence
of C. F. Pode at Roswell, last week.
The fire was caused by the explosion
of a lamp and the building was con-
sumed in a short time. Mrs. Pode and
her two little boys barely escaped with
their lives. Nothing was saved from
the building. Mr.. Pode was in Carls-
bad at the time. His wife was pros
trated by the shock and was removed
to the residence of J. r. Hart on the
opposite side of the street. The loss
of the building and contents is about
$4,000 with only $500 insurance.
The home of Rice johnson, ne
gro, was totally destroyed by fire at
Roswell recently. The fire department
arrived promptly after the alarm was
sounded, but nothing was saved, and
the building and contents were totaily
destroyed. Mr.. Rabb, the blacksmith,
occupied the building to the south OF
the Johnson home but his house was
saved by a bucket brigade" Johnson
came to Roswell three years ago. Inc
loss on the building was about $aoV
and the contents about $SOo. Ihere
was not a cent of insurance. MRS.
Johnson was at a residence north OF
the burned house when the fire broke
ont and the entire building was in
flames when she discovered the fire
She declares that the fire was OF IN
cendiary origin as there had not been
any fire in the house since she cooked
dinner. There was $45 cash IN the
drawer of the sewing machine, OF
which $40 was in greenbacks. The 20
in silver were recovered but the green
backs we're destroyed. Johnson, who,
until a few weeks ago was day porter
at the Grand Central Hotel, did not
even save his coat. as the day was
warm and he was in his shirt sleeves.
Another slight fire took place last
week at Roswell at the residence OF
sR. F. Ballard. near the Pecos valley
Lumber Company's yard. The .nre
was caused by defective fue.
