SENATOR TILLMAN expresses the
opinion that the railroads will not be
able to fool the people with a bogus
rate legislation bill. He says:
"The ways of the cuttlefsh are dark
and uky. So are the ways Of the raw
road cuttlefsh. Whenever the former
is pursued IL emitS black fluid TO be-
cloud the waters and enable it to ,es-
cape Railroad opposition TO rate legjS-
iauOn has been employing cuttleiSh
tactics to escape legislation, but this
cndeavor is, in my opinion, a vain one,
because believe an adequate legsla-
tive remedy will be provided as sure as
fate
Those Senators who are fighting
for the railroads are both bold and
tricky, and while it is true that they
are losing their boldness since the
late elections, there is no reason to
suppose that they are les tricky.
Let Senator TllIman keep his eye on
his colleagues and have his pitchfork
handy.

Hon. w. n. MILLER, OF Parkers-
burg, is announced as a candidate for
United States District Attorney to
succeed Judge Reese Blizzard, the IN
cumbent. Mr.. Miller is not only
lawyer of great ability, but citizen
respected by all who know him and a
gentleman whose character is Of the
highest. In the interest Of good gov
eminent as well as decency i'll politics
he ought to be appointed.
IT is asserted that the friends Of
the railroad corporations, realizing
the demand for the passage Of rate
legislation, Will introduce a bill Of
their own preparation which will fool
the people into the belief that some.
thing is being done, while it is utterly
harmless to the railroads Somehow
We have the belief that it will not be
as easy to hoolwiuk the public as they
imagine.
Certainly, if President Roosevelt is
true to his convictions and to the peo-
PIE, such trick Will not succeed.
ANNOUNCEMENT Is made that the
salary of Richard a. McCurdy, pres
ideut of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company Of New York, has been re-
duoed from $4,000 to SIS, 900 a
year. This is poor remedy. The
bold and iusolent robber ought to be
ANONYMOUSLY turned out and suit
brought to recover the money wrong
fully taken from the policy-holders.
Cutting his salary IN halt, and keep
ing him IL the position where he can
still pursue his policy Of graft, Will
not satisfy the people.

LAND OWNERS
MUST SIGN UP
Supervising T. gjneer Hall Makes
FoFcibIe Speech to MesiIla
Valley Farmers
II is NOW UP TO THEM
jtRsqgIrad Acreage Is Not Guaranteed
TeEaa VIII Be Asked to FIJI Quota
for Elephant Butte Project,

Las Cruces, Sept. 22.--The remarks
m2de at the meeting here by B. M.
Hall, supervising engineer of the
Omitted States reclamation service, re.
lating to the prospects for beginning
work on the Elephant Buttes dam and
reservoir project, are still the sub
iect Of discussion among the Valley
land owners. He told the people that
the Washington authorities could not
quite understand why there should be
any opposition or hesitation on the
part of valley land owners and that
they did not propose to take any fur
ther steps in the matter until the val
ley people themselves should demon
strate, by sending in formal pledges
for all the land required, that the pro-
ject, if undertaken, would be in COM
pliance with unanimous demand.
and that the government would be
certain to get its money back.
While the law passed by Congress
| last spring, said he, insures the back
| ing Of the government for the whole
project, it also requires certain pre-
| liminaries. For one thing, the reclaim
alton service construes the law to
mean that 10000 acres of land must
be pledged in the United States be-
| fore the work can be undertaken.
"The reclamation service will not
proceed until the requirement is met"
said Mr.. Hall. 'If New Mexico does
not want to include so much land as
was allotted to her, we shall be forced,
under the provisions of the act of
Congress, to open the books to Tex
as to complete the quota. Texas, we
are assured, can easily supply the re-
quired acreage.
"Should Texas undertake to supply
the quota, her signers would of course
acquire rights under this government
project that would be valid against
subsequent claimants. The govern
ment could not and would not disturb
any existing water rights, but after
the dam is built those outside water
lTlSulS WOulu Dc WOIlu W lllC
owners, for no water would be avail
able to them from the stored supply
and each farmer would have to store
his own water supply or go without
at the dryest season"
Mr.. Hall was asked about the Leas
burg diversion dam, planned as part
of the main project, and to be built
near Fort Selden. This would supply
water in season to all the bitches in
the valley between Selden and the
Texas line, being especially valuable
to Las Cruces and Mesilla Valleys.
money has been set aside for this
work" said Mr.. Hail. Nearly $780,
900 is available to build this diversion
dam and carry on the preliminary
work on the main project. But not
one cent of this money will be spent
in your valley until the success of the
whole project is assured and the $780,
900 acres signed up according to law"

on That System.

Topeka, Kans., Sept 22.-W. j.
Black, general passenger agent of the

way System, is on a trip to Omaha
where he proposes to make an ex
haustive study of the tests that arr
in progress there by the Union Pacific
Railroad officials with gasoline motor
cars for use on branch railroad lines
where the traffic is light
These tests have been successful to
a great degree and the Union Pacific
has two cars of this type that it in.
tends to put in use soon. Others are
being built. If Mr.. Black is favorably
impressed with these cars it is likely
that the Santa Fe will make some ex
periments with them Their use OF,
lines where passenger travel is light
would be at such saving over steam
engines that many lines which hardly
pay expenses now could be run at .

OVER THE RESERVOIRS
Local Commercial Bodies Claim That
Prevention Of Dam Building on the
River Would Work Damage.

Los Angeles, Calf, Sept 22.--lnter-
state difficulties growing out of diver
gent interests may result between
Colorado and California over the ques-
tion of erecting dams across the Colo.
RADIO River in Colorado for the pur.
pose OF furnishing irrigation for the
arid lands of Colorado, Arizona and
parts of California. The Los Angeles
realty board and the chamber Of
commerce, at meeting yesterday,
authorized the appointment of commit
tees to wait upon United States Sen
ator Flint and Congressman McLach-
Ian to get their support in the matter.
1t is charged that the Denver,
Northwestern & Pacific Railroad, bet
ter known as the Moffatt road, which
is now building from Denver to Salt
Lake, Is endeavoring through the
courts of Colorado to prevent the con-
struction of the proposed reservoirs
along the Colorado River in the Grand
Canon, Browns Park and Northwest
ern Colorado, urging as a reason for
so doing the railroads requirements
in rights of way. 1t is the contention
of local commercial bodies that the
prevention of the building of dams
would destroy the irrigation plans
of the government looking to the re.
clamation of about two million acres
of arid lands in the southwest, a
large portion of which is directly trib
utary to this city. ..

FIRST ENGINE ON new ROAD.
Laying of Rails Has Begun at the
CoIfax County Seat on the Ration
Eastern Railway.

Ration, Sept. 22.-The Ration &
Eastern Railway assumed a practical
form this week when the first engine
was run out from the Santa Fe round
house. The work of grading is being
pushed at the outer extremity, and the
laying of rails has begun at the Ration
end of the line. The first steel was
laid last week with material unloaded
at the shops, but by the first of this
week it was deemed practical to run
out an engine to convey the material.
The track up to date has been laid
about mile and half out of Ration.
The line when completed will con-
meet the city with the new coal mines
now being opened in the Sugarite
Canon. In order to do this it will re-
quire about twelve miles of track. The
company is employing large force of
men and pushing the work with all
possible speed. At the present rate,
it will require about three weeks to
connect the city with the Sugarite by

new IRRIGATION PROJECT.
Near FL Rito, Rio Arriba County
About 5000 Acres of Fertile
Land to Be Reclaimed.

The New Mexico Irrigated Lands
Company, which is the owner of the
Lobato Land Grant in Rio Arriba
County, is now engaged in the devel-
opment of the southeastern portion Of
the grant in the Ell Rito Valley. A
natural reservoir site, three-quarters
of mile wide and one mile long, To-
Gated about four miles north of the
town of Ell Rito in the valley of the
Arroyo Seco, is being cleaned and as
soon as this is done, dam will be
constructed across its mouth and a
large reservoir will be the result. The
depth of the water there will be on
an average IS feet and in places it will
be 1876 feet The water supply will
be sufficient to irrigate about 5000
acres of very fine agricultural land
and the ditch system for the neces
sary irrigation for this land will be
structed, part of it being under con-
struction now. The water supply will
be taken from the flood waters of
tlC AllOyo oCSO gnu llOlll lllC pei
manent supply of the Ell Rito River.
About Is miles of bitches will be put
in. A force of Is men is at work un-
der competent engineers cleaning the
reservoir site and on the ditch sys-
TEN.
The land is sold in small tracts to
actual settlers, these plats containing
from twenty to $50 acres each. The
lots are surveyed and are held at from
$40 to $40 per acre, pay to be made
in five annual installments, the first
payment to be made when the land
is purchased
Since the first of the year, about rs
families have come into the valley
who have purchased tracts averaging
mostly 40 acres, have made their first
payments and are constructing hous
es on the lands purchased for the
coming winter. The management ex
poets that at least 25 more families
will arrive there and purchase lane
by the first of January and that there
will be hundred families actually set
tied on land under the reservoir ant
bitches of the company by spring. 4
townsite, about three and half mile
from Ell Rito, has been laid out bu
no name has as yet been given it. Th'
land which will be reclaimed by th'
reservoir and the ditch system de
scribed is of the best quality and will
raise abundant crops of fine fruits
cereals and vegetables. The head
quarters of the company is in Denver
The project seems we'll thought ou
and the managers state that they ar
sure of success, as they have mad
