Statement Of the Facts in the Hondo
Reservoir Controversy, Submitted
by The Rio Hondo Resrvoir Water
Users Association.

The substance of the statement of
Mr.. F. G. Tracy, president of the Pc
cos Irrigation Company of Carlsbad,
New Mexico, to the Honorable, the
Secretary of the Interior protesting
against the building of the Hondo res
eryoir, has been published in many
newspapers and has. attracted consid-
cradle attention. 1t seems to need a
public answer
The protest is a remarkable docu-
ment, and more remarkable for what
it forgets to say, and for what it mis-
states than for what it states correct
ly. We believe it has not a legal or
equitable leg to stand upon, and am
ong many reasons, we submit the fol-
lowing:
The first attempt to utilize the wa
ters of the Pecos river and its tribn-
taries for irrigation purposes on
large scale, was in 1888. In July of
that year the Pecos Irrigation and
Investment Company filed its charter
AS stated therein. it planned to build
what is now known as the Northern
Canal, in Chayes county, and appro-
priated the unappropriated waters of
the Hondo river and its tributaries.
and the water of the South Spring
river, for irrigation purposes. The
charter fixed the diverting dam and
head of the canal where they are now
located, about two miles above where
the Hondo empties into the Pecos.
and below the point where the North
Spring and Berendo rivers (tributa-
ries of the Hondo) empty into the
Hondo.
The charter also provides for the
building of a main canal, in what is
now Eddy county, also reservoir
now called Lake Avalon, and appro-
priated the unappropriated waters of
the Pecos river to supply it. 1t did
not mention any tributaries of the
Pecos river. Ii by direct language.
or by implication it had intended to
include the tributaries of the Pecos,
il could not have included the wa
ters of the Hondo or it's tributaries.
as the language of the charter had
first appropriated such .waferssto 9TH
er uses. -
The Pecos Irrigation and Invest
ment Company authorized an issue
of bonds 10 raise money, secured by
first mortgage on all it's property
and franchises.
In December, 1888. six months af-
ter the before-mentioned appropria-
ton, some gentlemen in Roswell and
others, organized the first New Mexi-
co Reservoir and Irrigation Company.
They appropriated all the unappro-
priated Hood waters of the Hondo ri
yer for irrigation purposes, and filed

determined contests ever begun here.

cred by the reservoir belonged to the
United States government, but it was
| legally appropriated under an act of
Congress made to cover, such cases.
| Whether the First New Mexico Res
ervoir and Irrigation. Company had a
right to appropriate any waters of
Fhe Hondo river or not as against the
Pecos Irrigation and Investment Com
pany's previous appropriation, is now
an immaterial question, as will here
after appear.
In 1890 the Pecos Irrigation and
Investment Company wishing to en-
large it's operations under more lib
eral charter, got itself reorganized
In that year the Pecos Irrigation and
Improvement Company was formed
and bought and took over all the pro-
Derty, rights and franchises of the
Pecos Irrigation and Investment Co
Nmong the first things which the new
company did was to purchase all the
property. rights and franchises of the
First New Mexico Reservoir and Ir-
rigation Company. BY this act the
Pecos Irrigation and Improvement
Company acknowledged and confirm
ed the rights of, and the claims of.
the First New Mexico Reservoir and
irrigation Company. The Improve
ment Company at once undertook to
build the Hondo reservoir, for the
purpose of irrigating land on each
side of the Hondo and as close to the
reservoir as possible; in fact to do
exactly what the United States gov
ernment is now undertaking to do.
To raise the money, the Pecos Ir-
rigation and Improvement Company
made second mortgage covering all
it's property and franchises, including
The Hondo reservoir scheme, TO Sc
cure an Issue of bonds Under both
mortgages $60O.O0 of bonds were is
sued
In 1898 came the panic and hard
times, and the Lake Avalon dam was
destroyed by food. entaiing an enor-
nous loss Things went from bad to
worse, and in 1898 the Pecos Irriga-
ton and Improvement Company fail

front. Mr.. r. w. Tansill represented

ly in 1898, representing all the inter
asts. and it was agreed that a re-
ceiver should be appointed and the
Company reorganized. A reorganiza-
ton committee was appointed by the
bondholders. and leading and the
most active member of it was Mr..
francis G. Tracy, now president OF
the Pecos Irrigation Company. The
committee at once recognized that

er claims prior to the bonds could be
raised without selling some of the
Company's property. The bondholders
refused to be assessed for enough to
raise the required sum of money. The
reorganization committee found them
| selves in a hole and had only one
way to get out. They had only one
piece of salable property which could
be turned into money. The committee
therefore offered to SELL and did sell
to J. ]. Hagerman. the Northern Ca
nal and all other property real and
personal. and all the rights and fran
chises owned by the Pecos Irrigation
and Improvement Company in Chaves
county. That is to say, the old Com
pany evacuated Chaves county root
and branch, and turned over every
scrap OF property, every right, every
franchise. including the Hondo reser-
voir site and the construction work on
same which had cost about 5000,
and the water of the Hondo river and
its tributaries, to ]. ]. Hagerman.
They Reserved Nothing. This bar
gain was confirmed by a decree of
the United States District Court. by
the trustees of the mortgages, and
by every conceivable party in int
crest.
The sale was to be for part cash
and part on time. Until final pay
ment, all the property and franchises
sold were, as agreed, decided to E.
S. Motter and f. F. Draper. trustees
for J. j. Hagerman, and for The Fe-
lix Irrigation Company. which Com
pany was formed to own the North
ern Canal and it's franchises. The
final payments were soon made and
Draper and Motter, trustees. decided

and Franchises. to The Felix Irriga-
ton Company and all the other prop
erty rights and franchises embraced
in the sale. to J. J. Hagerman. with

of the British steamer Knight Com
mander and instructed the British con
sui at Yokohama to make a full in
vestigation of the case and report at
once to Downing street. Until his re-
port is received no action will be ta-

incident as coming at an unfortunate
time in connection with the state of
public opinion here.
Suez, July 25.-The British steam
er Ardova, which after being fired
upon by the Russian volunteer feet
steamer Smolensk was seized by that
vessel, has arrived here with prize
crew on board flying the Russian
flag. It is declared that her destination
is a Russian port. The British cruis-
er Venus is anchored close to the
captured steamer
Captain Smith of the Ardova lodged
with the British consul a protest ag-
gainst the seizure of the steamer.
st. Petersburg, July 25.-Great Bri-
tain's bill for damages against Rus
sia, to demurrage and other indemni-
ties connected with the arrest, deten-
tion and she.ling of British ships in
the Red sea will probably be very
heavy Already it is roughly estimat-
ed at $5,O00.00O.
The popular vision of the entangle-
n1ent which has so embarrassed the
Russian foreign Office is that it grew
out of Grand Duke Alexander Mikail-
ovich head of the department of mer-
camille marine taking matters into
his own hands and commissioning the
vessels OF the volunteer fleet to seize
merchantmen in the Red sea. Tt is
understood that the Emperor censur-
ed his brother-in-law for taking such
step without consulting the foreign
Office.
The Russian volunteer feet steam
ers Smolensk and st. Petersburg al
ready have been ordered home. The
commanders of these vessels have
been instructed to refrain from fur
ther attempts to stop merchantmen
either I'm the Red sea or the Mediter-
ranean. The two ships may be brought
10 the Baltic and formally re-commis-
stoned. Russia has reiterated her as
snrances that all vessels seized pend
ing the receipt Of Instructions BY the
captains OF the smolensk and DC. Pc
tersbnrg shall &c once be released.
The British steamer Ardoya win be
freed upon her arrival at Suez or
