Vegas yesterday, all OF them 10 prl'
vate individuals. do not care to dis
cuss them One OF these kilograms
was to Margarito Romero, and In 1t
urged him to place Mr., Rodey $
name at the head Of an independent
ticket in case the convention should
endorse him. This, apparently was
done.
MIR Rodey did not authorize me to
present his name 10 the convention.
Beyond this, Mr., Gales declined to
be quoted as to his part in the inde'
pendent movement
Among Las Vegas republicans the
sentiment is freely expressed that Mr..
Rodey will do nothing so foolish as
to allow himself 10 be sacrificed to the
selfish schemes OF th/e who are
seeking to foster the Independent
movement. Nothing is more certain
than that the independents cannot
carry single county Of the territory.
They hope. by combining with the
democrats TO be able to divide the
spoils. AS far as votes for an inde-
pendent candidate for delegate are
concerned, they wouldn't be worth
counting Here in this county, Mr..
Rodey has no more bitter political
enemies than the adherents of the
independent faction.
The purpose of the Independent
movement in this county, according
to the best informed republicans, is
to effect a combination of the union
democrats who were turned down in
the convention Iere and number OF
chronically disgruntled office seekers.
The jubilation Of the democrats
shows that they believe the move
ment is all in their favor Mr.. Gal.
les would make capital material for
the Independent party but no friend
Of Mr.. Rodeys thinks for a minute
that he. who has twice received such
distinguished honor from his party
will play into the hands of this dis
gruntled office-seeking organization.

Second Convention of New
Mexico irrigation Congress

creased by the work of the Ell Paso
people themselves who are now plan
ming to send large delegation here
during the convention to work up in
terest in the congress.
Plans are now maturing in Ell Paso
to send committee Of twenty repre-
sentative men here during the fair,
whose business il will be to tell New
Mexico farmers and others interested
in practical irrigation, of the coming
congress, which is expected to be the
largest in point of attendance and the
most instructive from the practical
standpoint in the history of the ma.
tional organization With this com
mittee Ell Paso now expects to send
large delegation whose chief pur.
pose will be to find amusement In the
fair attractions.
A determined effort is to be made
during the convention here to turn the
New Mexico association into a work
ing body for the advancement of the
cause of irrigation in the territory
The present passive nature of the or
ganization is far from satisfying to
the more active spirits in the mem
bership and they hope to secure the
appointment of small committees and
practical and energetic men whose
work will bring results. The conven
tion OF a year ago was highly instruc
tive and did more 10 arouse in'eresl
in irrigation than perhaps any othe,
Influence aside from the workings oI
the government bureau. This veal
there will be even a greater number
careful papers and addresses by mer
of national prominence in the cause
and every beneficiary of irrigation !.
the territory will find il TO his interesi
to attend the sessions Of the conven
tion.

concerning both gatherings are pour

1t Is also certain that this convention
will see to ii that large delegation of
representative citizens goes from New
Mexico to the larger gathering in FL

Thus far the work Of the New Mex

year ago, has been to the end of keep

signed to direct the attention of the
association as an organization 10 sew

than one. fourth million head OF cattle
and hundreds Of COW ponies persisted
in the storm, and by the holidays the
profits Of the years of effort had been
wiped out"
One firm that had 900 head north
west Of here is reported as having
lost 700 head before December 10.
The effect Of the storm did not end
with the winter. 1t was one OF the
causes that took the cattle trade away
from Abilene. By the time new lot
Of dealers and drovers could open
business the towns Of Newton, Hays
