Colonel Venceslao Jaramillo of FL
Rito, who with his brother-in-law, j.
S. Hamilton, has been in the city since
Saturday, and who left this forenoon
for Ell Rito, said to the reporter of
the New Mexican that the building of
the Territorial Reform School at FL

gated Lands Company, a corporation
which has purchased. 1t Is understood,
important interests In the Labato Land
Grant IN Rio Arriba County, has had
surveys made in the northwestern
part of the Grant near Ell Rito for
a reservoir and dam as we'll as ditch
system and expect to commence act
i've work on the project very shortly.
A stretch of fertile agricultural land
few miles northeast of Ell Rito, three
miles wide and about seven miles
long, is to be irrigated from this res,
ervoir system. This section Is located
in the northwest part Of the Labato
Grant. The reservoir i. to be con-
structed In a canon leading into the
Valley of the Ell Rito and is to be
filled by rainfall and by the food wa
ters which occur in this canon quite
frequently. 1t is believed that within
six months an ample supply of water
can be stored In the reservoir and that
a sufficient E cunt of the life-giving
fluid to irrigate about 10000 acres of
land can be kept In the reservoir at
all times.
The sheepmen of his section are
now engaged in lambing their sheep
and a great crop of lambs will be the
result The losses have not been over
seven per cent and the increase will
be nearly 100 per cent. Wool is bring
ing first-class prices and the sheepmen
are nappy. There are not many cattle
in this section, but those there are do
ing well. The farmers in the vicinity
of Ell Rito as we.. as In the adjacent
valleys have increased the area of the
cultivated lands greatly this season
and more planting than ever before
has been the rule. Fine crops Of GER
eals, vegetables and fruits are looked
for and good times this year seem to
be assured.

MARTIN RELIEF LAW.
The Defendants Brief and Argument
Have Been Given to Judge Nc
Fie and to Attorneys for
Plaintiff.

The defendants brief and argument
in the case of Thomas B. Catron YER
sus William G. Sargent as auditor OF
public accounts, and John II. Vaughn,
as treasurer of the Territory, being a
petition for a permanent Injunction to
restrain said Auditor and Treasurer
from carrying into effect the provis-
ions of the Martin Flood Sufferers Re-
lief Law, as passed by the Thirty-sixth
Legislative Assembly and approved by
the Governor, has been given to Judge
John r. McFie, before whom the case
was heard and who will render his de-
cision after all evidence and argument
is brought to a close, and to the attor-
neys for the plaintiff
1t is the theory of the defendants
that the said Martin Relief Law can be
sustained as falling properly within
the power of the legislature to author
ize a debt to be contracted on behalf
of the Territory, ito meet casual de-
ficit in the revenues" This, the plain
tiff said, was not legal. The defend
ants refer the court to the decisions
rendered by the supreme courts in sew
eral states in the Union, which decis-
ions upheld the stand taken by said
defendants. A contention in the plain
tiffs argument was that the Martin
Relief Law was obnoxious to section
3 of the Springer Act, in that 1t pro-
vided for the creation of debt against
the Territory not authorized by that
section. A part of the section referred
to reads as follows: THAT no law or
any Territorial legislator shall au-
thorize any debt to be contracted by,
or on behalf of, said Territory except
in the following cases. 10 meet cas-
ual deficit in the revenues; to pay the
interest UPON the Territorial debt; to
provide for the public defence, or to
suppress insurrections" The defend
ants claim that the clause, ito meet
casual deficit in the revenues" con-
tains the necessary grant of power to
create the contested debt. The spe-
cific meaning of the word deficit Is,
a deficiency in taxes or revenues.
Casual" means occasionally, or COM
ing at uncertain times. "A casual de-
ficit in the revenues, is, therefore,
deficiency in the revenues, caused by
an unforeseen and an unavoidable cir
cumstance Then by aid OF this pro
vision of the Springer Act, the debt
can be created against the Territory
to meet the exigencies as called for in
the Martin Flood Sufferers Relief Law.
Section l of the Springer Act pro-
vides that no legislature shall pass
local, or special laws for the assess
ment and collection of taxes for Ter
ritorial, county, township or road pur-
poses. The plaintiff claims that the
Martin Flood Sufferers Relief Law is
in violation of this section. The de-
PENDANTS say that the law was enact
ed for the relief of the flood sufferers
of the fall of 1904, without regard %
where they might be located In the
Territory. Therefore, the conclusion
arrived at by the arguments of the de-
PENDANTS is that the Martin Flood Suf-
ferers Relief Law is constitutional and
valid and that the funds asked for
should be given.

which sailed from this port January
21st for ports on the Central American
coast, had strange experience, news
of which has just been received by
mail
Through miles of sea. covered
thickly with masses of vegetation.
tree trunks and the carcasses of dead
animals, the steamer sailed. the debris
at times being SO thick that her pro-
gress was impeded. Some of the trees
were five and six feet in diameter and
the dead animals were of all descrip-
lions. The debris was encountered
January 2Sth in latitude 1858 north
and longitude 100.29 west. The stuff
was eight or nine feet thick.
The officers of the vessel were una
BILE to explain the strange condition
and when they arrived at Acapulco nc

WILL DROP TREATIES
BECAUSE OF TIE AMeNoMENrs
President Will Let Arbitration Urea
ties Die Rather Than lndorse
the Senate's Action.

Washington, Feb. 14.-President
Roosevelt will not present the arbitra-
ton treaties as amended by the Sen
ate, to the countries with which they
were negotiated. In reply to numer-
GUS inquiries by representatives OF the
press at the State Department yester-
day. Secretary Hay made in substance
the following statement:
THE President regards the matter
of the general arbitration treaties as
concluded by the action of the Senate
Saturday. He recognizes the right of
the Senate to reject treaty. either by
a direct vote in that sense. or indi-
.rectly by changes which are incompat-
ible with its spirit and purpose. He
considers that with the. Senate
amendment the treaties not only
cease to be a step forward in the
cause OF general arbitration. but are
really step backward. and therefore
he Is unable to present them in this
altered form to the countries with
which we have been in negotiation"
The treaties amended and ratified by
the Senate Saturday were sent to the
President yesterday. Each treaty was
accompanied by the usual resolution
setting forth the action taken by the
Senate.
!; The vote of 50 to 8 In favor of the
adoption of the amendment to the
treaties does not give the full strength
iof the Senate on the question of in
sisting upon its prerogatives in treaty
making. There were five pairs re-
corded, but in each case it was stated
by the senator announcing his pair
that he believed II his pair were pres
ent he would vote for the amendment.
There seemed to be lack OF inform
alton as to whether general pairs COW
cred the subject of amendment to
treaties. and on that account number
of senators refrained from voting. Sen
ator Alice, who was recorded as voting
for the amendment, was not present.
His name was confused with that of
Senator Alger. who was present and
voted for the amendments.
The pairs recorded were Depew and
McEnery. Proctor and Mallory, Clark
of Arkansas and Willard. Pettus and
Crane, and Simmons and Clapp. No
record was made. however, as TO the
manner these senators would have
voted.
The treaties were received at the
White House yesterday, and following
the usual procedure they will be re-
corded and forwarded to the State De-
partment. They will be sent to the IL
brarian, where in accordance with the
statement issued by Secretary Hay,
they will remain.
