IRRIGATION PROSPECTS.
Water in the Rio Grande Low in Some
Places But Abundant Around
Albuquerque.


Between Ell Paso and Las Cruces
there is not enough water in the bed
of the Rio Grande River to be of any
use for irrigation, and for consider
able distance there is no water at all.
From Las Cruces northward the whole
aspect of the valley gradually changes
until Albuquerque is reached, where
there seems to be plenty of water for
present demands.
Water at Berino Dona Ana County
is scarce, but the connection which
the bitches have with the Las Cruces
system has SO far given the farmers
of the lower Mesilla Valley water
enough to plant an unusually large
acreage of wheat and alfalfa. In view
of the reported shortage of snow in the
mountains, G. w. Freeman is installing
pumping plant and the Ho-Ra-C Com
pany is putting in three twelve horse
power engines for the same purpose
In direct contrast to the above is the
combine neighborhood action in cut
ting across the two large bends in the
river between Earlham and Anthony
The first cut is nearly completed, while
the other is to be commenced soon.
These cut offs will shorten the pres
ent river channel nearly six miles and
| it is the belief of all concerned that
the flood of 1903 will not be repeated
in the memory of the present inhabl-
tants. The river bed will be deepened
| ten or twelve feet. The project Is the
direct result of the untiring efforts OF
D. ]. Jones and w. s. Gillian. though

Russia Pleased With Proclamation.
St. Petersburg, March 14-President
Rosevelt's recent proclamation. re-
garding the observation of neutrality

Japanese Rescue Crews of Enemy's
Ships.

report from Vice Admiral Togo con-
cerning the effort made by the crews
of the Japanese torpedo boat destroy
ers in the action off Port Arthur on
the 10th instant to rescue the crews
of disabled Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers, reached here today. Captain
Shojiro Asai commanding the fiotilla
of torpedo boat destroyers, states that
the Japanese would have been able to
rescue many more of the enemy but
for the deadly fire from the shore bat
teries and the close approach of the
Russian cruiser Novik. AS it was, only
four were rescued.

Russia Still Holds Port Arthur


Tien Tsin, March 1.-THE reported
occupation of Port Arthur by the Jap
anese is untrue according to a tele-
gram received here at II this morn
ing, which left Port Arthur at o'clock
on Sunday evening
Steamer Condemned.
Nagasaki March 14-The East
Asiatic steamer Manchuria, has been
condemned by thesnaval prize court at
Sasebo, including her general cargo,
which is partially. neutral property.
Torpedo Boats Slightly Damaged.
Toxic, March 14-Viceroy Alexieff's S
report that Japanese torpedo boat
destroyer was sunk and cruiser Taxa
sago heavily damaged by shell fire
of the Russians during the fourth at
tack on Port Arthur is officially pro-
nounced untrue. The damaged Japan
ese boat destroyers can be repaired in
one week and it will not be necessary
to dock them.
Russian Maneuvers.
Yin Kow, March 1.-THE local Rus
sian authorities are apparently in
censed and manifestly much annoyed
at the solicitous inquiries of command
ers of foreign gun boats regarding the
projected blocking of the Liao River
before the arrival OF the Japanese,
which latter event is regarded as a
foregone conclusion Although the
blocking of the Liao and also the de-
fense of the settlement and native
town, are regarded as unattainable, it
is certain that an unimportant disposi-
ton of the guns and arrangement of
the defense plan has already been
made. The arrival OF General KOndra-
tovitch, few lays ago. however, ar
rested the gements and threat
ened to cause The abandonment of the
original intention. The best Russian
information obtainable at Port Arthur
and New Chwang admits that the gov
ernment intention is to fall back indefi-
nitely until the mobilization of 100000
troops for the purpose of assaulting
the opposing Japanese and probably
100000 more to oppose the Chinese.
