WHAT THE RIO GRANDE DAM WILL Do

raging torrent, cutting new channels,
entire farms
The national irrigation act was the
herald of New Mexico's redemption.
1t was the signal for those modern
magicians, Uncle Sans engineers, to
juggle with the forces of nature. Land
and water! What potent words to
conjure with! Already New Mexico
is preparing to swing in line in the
forward procession Of the age. Down
near Roswell, 10000 acres Of land will
be supplied with water in 1906, and
plans are being formulated by which
the entire Pecos valley eventually will
be brought under a comprehensive
system Of irrigation. Investigations
are also being carried on in the La
Plata valley and in the vicinity of Las
Vegas, and the underground waters
of the territory are being carefully
studied.
But by far the most interesting
work in New Mexico is the project
designed to reclaim the Rio Grande
valley I'm the southern portion Of the
territory. In addition to the obsta-
cles already mentioned any scheme to
reclaim these lands is complicated by
interstate and international questions
which require careful handling to
avoid friction between citizens resid-
ing in this portion Of the valley. The
engineeres have found a suitable res
ervoir site near Engle, and wonder
full dam 255 feet In height from bed
rock to top Of parapet walls has been
planned.
The reservoir thus created will be
| 40 miles long and will have a capacity
OF 100000 acre feet, Gan acre foot is
one acre one foot deep.) An ingenious
arrangement Of sluice gates will pro-
vide for the disposal of silt from time

What may be the destiny of New
Mexico? There she lies in the heart
of arid America, 122,460 square miles
of broad plains, rugged mountains ana
sagebrush deserts; greater in extent
than all New England with New
York and New Jersey thrown in, but
with a population but little more than
one-third that of Boston.
So many centuries ago that no ira
dition remains concerning 1t, mighty
civilization flourished in this territory.
When Colorado sailed up the Rio
Grande the Pueblo Indians were lead
ing the waters of the river over their
fields and blossoming gardens and
maintaining populous and prosperous
communities. But with the coming
of the gold-mad spanlards a spell
more potent than the magic draught
of the Catskills seemed to fall on
mountain. plain and valley.
When New Mexico became part
of the United States fully one-third of
its area was included in Mexican and
Spanish grants, which for years after
wards were unconfirmed and there
fore paid no taxes and were not avail
able to settlers. The Indians and
their Mexican neighbors were irri-
eating the few crops which sufficed
for their simple needs through bitches
constructed hundreds of years before
A quarter of century ago, when
the old overland trail was superseded
bv the railroad, new settlers introduc-
ed modern systems and further de-

PUMP MORE WATER.
BOlse's Supply VIII BE Increased 400
Per Cent.

AS part of its plan to increase its
water supply and efficiency nearly 100
per cent and be able to deliver to the
water users of Boise about 5000 900
gallons of water per day, the Boise
Artesian Hot and Cold Water company
has brought suit in the district court
against G. M. Morton and others for
the condemnation of a strip Of prop
erty near the Nat, says the Boise
Statesman. The company plans the
sinking of new wells on this property
and the running of subterranean
chambers to gather larger flow of
water than is now possible in wells
Nos. / and 2.
The suit, which was filed some time
ago, was brought on for trial yester-
day before Judge Stewart. BY mutual
agreement a jury was waived. viii
r. King, of Ontario, was entered as
associate counsel for Morton. The
defense claims that the property in
volved in the case Is not needed by
the water company; that the company
can secure an increased flow from
other parts Of its own property. The
plaintiff, on the other hand, contends
that the Morton property is impera-
lively necessady, as 1t lies In that di-
rection from the present wells of the
company toward which 1t has been
found necessary to drift for addition
al water
While on the stand Secretary B. s.
Howe, of the company outlined to the
i n. h.. ,t,1,
included the condemnation of the
Morton land for the purpose as above
set forth, and for the future purpose

of riding the surface of all possible
sources of water pollution.
He said that the old well, No. l. has
a capacity of 100000 gallons per
day, and that well No. 2, connected
with well No. /, by subterraneun
channel had capacity of 100000
gallons. The new well or wells plan
ned by the company will increase the
pumping capacity to 100000 gallons
per day. which he estimates will be
sufficient to supply the needs Of a
city twice the present size of Boise.
The new well or wells, with the cham
bers planned, will cost, together with
$4,000.

QUITE A,pfFFERENcE

The Greensboro Messenger finds n
difficult to perceive the difference be.
tween the United States accepting
freight rebates and a private citizen
accepting freight rebates. II says:
1T is right for the government OF
the United States to accept freight
rebates from railways, in the opin-
Ion OF Attorney General Moody. and
II is wrong for the private citizen to
accept rebates from railways in the
opinion OF President Roosevelt. That
is II is wrong for the railways to
grant rebates to the private citizen,
but right to grant them to the gov
eminent of the United States. But
then, in these days, the private citi-
zen, unless he is monopolist, has
lew rights the government or the rail
ways are bound to respect"
The Messenger can easily put it,
self right by asking itself. What is
the objection to freight rebate?
The only objection of consequence
ever offered is that II gives one firm,
corporation, or individual an ad-
vantage over his competitor who does
not get a rebate, which may prove
that competitors undong. There
fore, in the interest of fair play and
10 guarantee to the public the essen
tial competition in business, freight
rebates have been declared unfair
and unlawful SO far as private bust
ness is concerned.
With the United States govern
ment, however, il is different The
government Is not competing with
anyone or anything In business, and
a freight rebate TO the government
can give II no advantage that will
prove another's disadvantage. The
only effect of a freight rebate to the
government is that Il takes less mon
ey out of the treasury, and leaves the
money thus saved 10 be spent for
other necessary expenses OF govern
ment. II simply saves the amount of
rebate TO the people. For instance,
what advantage would il be to any
one (except the railroads) for the
United States 10 pay 500 freight on
a consignment IL by getting a rebate
II could obtain the same service for
$40? What disadvantage would il
be 10 anyone, Except the railrOads)
for Il to get SlO0 worth of service
for SIS?
II seems very plain 10 those who
want 10 see ID, what the difference Is
between freight rebates 10 a private
citizen and 10 the government.
Attorney General Moody well ex-
presses il; The federal, the state
or the municipal governments are
within the exceptions 10 the statute"
and the contracts which provide for
rebates on material furnished 10 fed
eral, state or municipal governments
are within the meaning of the exoep-
iion for the reason that The benefit Of
the rebates il 10 accrue 10 the gov
eminent"
