CONDITIONS IN MlMsREs VALLEY
The Floods and High Waters Of Re
cent Years Cause Great Damage.

Macedonia Torres, resident neal
Dwyer, Grant County, spent the day in
town. He is a farmer and fruit grow
er in the Mimbres Valley and although
a native of Dona Ana County and a
man of middle age, this was his first
visit to the Capital. He was very
favorably impressed with what he saw
and thinks that the New Mexicans
ought to be proud of the Capital OF
the Territory. Mr.. Torres tells har.
rowing tales of the condition of the
people in the Mimbres Valley. The
floods Of 1902 destroyed their crops
and injured their lands to a great ex-
tent. In 1903 no crops could be raised
and the high waters of 1904 and of
this winter completed the havoc and
damage started in 1902 and 1903. The
agricultural lands in the narrow river
valley are washed out and the people
there are leaving the Mimbres coun-
L try to settle elsewhere. His own
lands have been seriously damaged
and the tract Of land upon which his
fine orchard of 1000 trees, some of
them eight and nine years old, is 10.
Gated, is in danger of being washed
away.
He has large force of men build.
ing dykes and trying to save it. Mr..
Torres says that the people of his Sec
tion are very grateful to the members
of the Thirty-sixth Legislative As.
sembly for making an appropriation
for their relief by the provisions of
the Martin flood sufferers relief bill.
Though the amount is too small to do
much good, the people there are
grateful, as small favors are better
than none. He fears that the Mimbres
River Valley, up to two years ago
one of the finest fruit growing Sec
tions In New Mexico, from an agricul-
tural standpoint, is ruined, at least for
some years to come and until exten-
sive reservoir and modern ditch sys-
TENS are constructed there. Water
in the river Is higher that he has ever
seen 1t and Is being constantly aug
mented by rains and by the melting
SHOWS in the mountains. There has
been more rainfall and snow In that
section this winter than there has
been during the space Of several years
