But by far the most interesting work in New Mexico is the project designed to reclaim the Rio Grande valley in the southern portion of the territory. In ad- dition to the obstacles already mentioned, any scheme to reclaim these lands is complicated by interstate and interna- tional questions, which require careful handling to avoid friction between citl- zens residing insthis portion of the valley. The engineers have found suitable res- ervoir site near Engie. and a wonder full dam 225 feet in height from bedrock to top of parapet walls has been planned

VHY HAT may be the destiny of New
 M Mexico? There she lies in the
 heart of arid America, 122, 46O square miles of broad plains. rugged mountains and sage brush deserts; great CT in extent than all New England with New York and New Jersey thrown in, but with population but little more than one-third that of Boston.
 So many centuries ago that no tradi- ton remains concerning it, mighty civi- liEation f1ourished in this territory. When Coronado sailed up the Rio Grande the Pueblo Indians were leading the waters of the river over their fields and blossom ing gardens and maintaining populous and prosperous communities. But with the coming of the gold-mad Spaniards spell more potent than the magic draught of the Catskillls seemed to fall on moun- tain, plain and valley. When New Mexico became a part of the United States fully one-thrd of it's area was included in Mexican and Spanish land grants, which for years afterwards were unconfrmed and therefore paid no taxes and were not available to settlers. The Indians and their Mexican neighbors were irrigat- ing the few crops which suffieed for their

SMITH moplFlEs STATEMENT.
President Of Mormon Church Says He
Received Revelations From God.


Salt Lake, March 2O.-Joseph +.
Smith, president of the Mormon
church, in an address in the taber-
nacle, modified his statement in tho
senate investigation at Washington, to
the effect that he had received no
revelations from God. President
Smith is quoted as saying: In Wash
ington | refused to say what my in
Quisitors wanted me to say in order
to get me into a trap, that is to say
that God had given me revelation on
some new law of precept which was
to be included and put in the laws of
the church. Did you ever hear me
deny that | had been guided by God.
No. no man ever heard me say this.
When | was first baptised as a child,
God revealed to me that l had done
an act which he approved. God also
revealed to me that Joseph Smith
was prophet of God, raised up by
the power OF the Almighty. He re-
vealed to me in terms incontroverti
BILE that Brigham Young succeeded
lawfully to the presidency of the
church by the will of the Almighty;
he revealed to me that John Taylor
was the divine successor OF Brigham
Young: that Wilford Woodruff was
| the divine successor of John Taylor,
that Lorenzo Snow was the divine
successor of MILFORD Woodruff.
leave it to you to say whether it is
right and lawful for me to be in this
position. | fervently believe that God
has made manifest to me many glo-
rious things and much more wisdom
| than is inherent in myself and will
continue to do so as long as I am
ready to listen when he speaks"
