IRRIGATION FOR
A RICH COUNTRY
Judge A. A. Freeman of Carlsbad Tells
of the Bright Prospects Of That
Enterprising Section.

A reporter for the New Mexican
called on Judge A. A. Freeman o
Carlsbad, at his quarters at the SAM
tarium to obtain from him news o.
southeastern New Mexico.
I'VE are getting on all right dowr
there said the Judge. Government
engineers are looking over the situa
tion of our irrigation system. We con
fidently believe that the government
will take hold of the enterprise. If II
does not, however, the company and
citizens will restore the dam at Nc
Millen which broke during the floods
of October. The country never looked
better than now. Grass is good, and
cattle and sheep are in fine condition
The department of agriculture has
been experimenting in the cultivation
of Egyptian cotton, with surprisingly
fine results. That cotton. has finer
fibre than the other kinds and sells for
about eighty per cent more per pound.
What do you people think of the
prospects for statehood" was asked.
"We are pleased at the prospect. We
are for statehood and especially for
joint statehood. Some of our people
possibly would prefer single statehood,
but to my mind there are many ad-
vantages to accrue to both New Mexico
and Arizona by becoming jointly one
tate. We would still be less in area
than Texas, and with population less
than Rhode Island
There are twelve cities in the Unk
ted States with each population in
excess of New Mexico and Arizona
combined and yet not one of these
cities is represented by one Senator to
say nothing of four. To my mind there
are number of advantages flowing
out of joint statehood; not the least of
which are size of territory, variety of
climate, soil and production. Nor is
1t to my mind an objection that the
people of the two sections are not alto
gether homogeneous. They will be
as much SO as the people Of
north and south California, and those
of east and west Tennessee. But the
point of interest is the mat
ter of economy. 1t will cost just as
much to administer the state govern
ment Of New Mexico as the state of
Arizona including both territories.
Uniting the two will have also ten
dency to obliterate old ruts and break
up old rings. In these days Of rail-
roads distances from the capital
amount practically to nothing"

aScene in Presence Of Colo
radios Supreme Court.
BAILIFF WAS NEEDED
Question Of Whether the legislative
Committee Of csnvassers Is Legal
to Be Passed Upon.

| Denver, Jan. THE election COM
missioners of Denver, late last night
refused to turn over to the legislative
committee of fifteen appointed yester-
day any of the ballot boxes In their
possession. This morning Attorney
John Waldron, representing the COM
mittee, applied to the Supreme Court
for an order on the commissioners d.
| recting them to surrender to the CON-
mittee certain ballot boxes. Senator
T. M. Patterson, appearing for the
commissioners, requested until 10
o'clock Monday morning to answer
the petition. He was given until
o'clock this afternoon During the de-
bate the argument between the two
attorneys became so heated that Chief
Justice Gabbert directed the bailiff to
get between the two men who stood
face to face arguing fiercely.
They Wax Warm.
Waldron, in upholding his legal
contention, cited local case in which
the Supreme Court had taken action.
and alluded to the man whose name
he mentioned as a friend Of Senator
Patterson.
IF you say he is friend Of mine.
you say what is not true" said the
Senator.
"He was a friend of yours"
"He never was a friend of mine"
Senator Patterson arose and ap-
preached Waldron and the two stood
with their noses about six inches
apart.
Wasn't he friend OF yours?"
mo, he never was. I have always
fought him."
"Mr. Bailiff get between these
men," said the chief justice.
The bailiff stepped between them
and pushed Senator Patterson gently
back into his seat.
Both Houses Take Recess.
Denver, Jan. THE Colorado leg
islature was called to order at 11:1O
o'clock this morning and Representa-
tive Griffith at once moved that a re-
cess be taken until 4 o'clock. The OBJ
ject of this was that the decision OF
the Supreme Court which was to be
handed down at 2 o'clock would de-
termine whether or not the COMMITTEES
of fifteen appointed to canvass the
vote for governor was legally const-
tuted body and incidentally settle the
question of whether the speaker or
the lieutenant governor has the right
to preside over the joint session. A
recess was taken by the House. In
the meantime stirring times were the
rule at the opposite end Of the hall
where the Senate was in session. FIJI
teen Democrats and four Republican
Senators insisted that the Senate 60
into joint session with the House and
that the lieutenant governor be seated
as presiding officer. Several fiery
speeches were made and the Senate
also took q recess.

The New Mexican is informed that
the people of southern Chaves and
northern Eddy Counties will petition
the coming assembly for new county
with Artesia as the county seat. The
proposed northern line of the county Is
to be about six miles south OF the
town OF Hagerman and the proposed
southern line mile or so north of the
town of Mcmillan in Eddy County.
The boundaries east and west are to
be the same as in the existing coun-
ties. It is reported that there are
enough population and taxable proper
ty to support the county creditably
and satisfactorily. Representative
elect George F. Ellis of the district
is said to favor the project and Will
push it as much Us Is in his power.
Speculation Is rife as to the action
the Republican Council and House
caucuses will take in admitting mem
bers of the Council and House who
ran on so-called Independent -Republi.

ELLIS TELLS STORY
OF A GREAT DISTRICT
Representative.Elect -of the Fit!
teenth is Inspired by the Quality
of the Constituency of the Four
Good Counties He Has the Honor
to Represent.

Democrats of the Fifteenth Legisla
tive District have had the good taste
to send to the Council as representa-
tive Of the counties of Roosevelt
Eddy, Chaves and Lincoln, a conserva
tive, scholarly man. AS student OF
history G. F. Ellis, representatiye-elect
has distinguished himself, having al
this time comprehensive history OF
the United States in an eastern press
tof note.
II am great lover Of my land,
Mr.. Ellis remarked to a staff writer
OF the New Mexican this morning.
"And think that | have goodsfea-
sons for pride in my county and my
district
Roosevelt County.
"New Mexico people are by this
time fairly familiar with the new
county of Roosevelt which was Great
ed by the Thirty-fifth Legislative AS
sembly. 1t is situated in the extreme
east central portion of the Territory,
having been taken from Chaves Z and
Guadalupe Counties, and is the only
plains county in the Territory. It's
soil Is a rich sandy loan which with
simple cultivation produces garden
vegetables of all kinds in the great
est abundance as we'll as caffa corn
milomaze and sorghum. The county's
population is $500 and is entirely
American, being gathered from all
parts of the United States. 1t has
water in a great abundance at a
depth of from fifteen to forty feet
which renders it possible to irrigate
quite extensively with windmills and
tanks, system much in vogue in Cali
fornia. This is being done extensive
ly with excellent results At present
an effort is being made to develop ar
tesian water and private fund Of
$1,000 has been subscribed by citizens
to prosecute the idea. Actual boring is
in process and the indications are
that the issue will be successful One
weak flow was struck at a depth of
only 37b feet.
City Of PortaIes,
Portales, the county seat Of Roose-
velt County, is ON the Pecos Valley
Railroad, midway between Roswell
and Amarillo A neat new court house
has just been completed which re.
fleets great credit upon the county
commissioners. The building was con-
structed under their supervision at Al
cost of only $4,000. The same build
ing at any other point in the Territory
would have cost from $25, 900 to $780,
600. Portales has three churches,
Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian.
1t has two banks and both of them
transact satisfactory business. The
city, as well as the county, has an
excellent public school system with
good school buildings and all the para.
phernalia to do first class work.
Texico and EIida.
Besides Portales the county has
two other towns, Texico and Elida,
with a population of about 500 each.
Elida is south and Texico north OF Por-
tales. Roosevelt County people are|

( thrifty, intelligent folk who have come
for the purpose of subduing the
prarie and such rough nature forces
as come to hand there. They are
building good homes and represent the
best type of American citizenship.
While there has been some lawless-
ness, public sentiment is rapidly stamp
ing that out and Roosevelt County bids
fair to become one of the greatest
counties of great state.
Railroad Rates.
Having discovered that they can
raise an unsurpassed quality OF onions
and cantaloupes the farmers of the
county have organized an association
for the purpose of securing railroad
rates which will enable them to CON-
pete in the big markets with other Sec
tions. Hitherto, discriminating rail-
road rates have been the only impedi.
ment in the progress Of great ship
ping business. The crying need of the
valley is cheaper shipping rates for
it's exports.
Unique in Politics.
In politics Roosevelt County bears
the unique distinction of polling a
larger Democratic vote in comparison
with it's population than any other
county of the Territory, at least "a
per cent of its entire vote being Dem
ocratic. Chaves and Eddy Counties
are Democratic and Lincoln County is
Republican.
Worthy Institute.
In Chaves County the capital city,
Roswell, the New Mexico Military In
stitute is located. 1t is doing noble
work for the young men of the Terri.
tory under the efficient management of
Superintendent Wilson and the able
board of managers. In my opinion the
coming legislature could do no better
than to make very liberal appropria-
.tion for the conduct of the institution.
Women at Work.
In Eddy County, at Carlsbad, there
Is an excellent hospital which is
managed almost entirely by the good
women Of the town and it has done
much good work. In the past an ap-
preparation of five one-hundredths of
mill has been made by the legisla-
ture toward the support of the insti-
tuition and this sum seems to me to
be entirely inadequate for the purpose.
While all the women interested in this
work deserve very great credit for
their unselfish labors in it's behalf II
cannot refrain from especially men,
tioning Mrs. M. P. Kerr, the present
president of the board of managers,
who devotes the whole of her time to
the institution without emolument.
Lincoln County.
The mining resources of Lincoln
County are being rapidly developed
and no county in the Territory has
better prospects for acquiring great
wealth. As is true in the other coun-
ties have mentioned Lincoln County's
population consists Of college men of
broad culture who have come to the
great west to develop 1t to evolve
therefrom their personal fortunes.

ported there that Rear Admiral Prince
Ouktomsky and Rear Admiral Doch-

WHITE HOUSE
CONFERENCE
President Roosevelt Discusses
Pending Legislation With
Republican Leaders.
BARD HAS LAND BILL
Appointment Of Crum Of South Carolina
is Finally Confirmed After Three
Recess Appointments.

Washington, Jan. mime of the
leading Republicans in Congress will
have conference with President
Roosevelt this afternoon to consider
with his legislative questions now
pending before Congress.
The conference will be held at the
instance of the President, invitations
entirely informal in character having
been extended by him to those who
are to be present. Those invited are
Speaker Cannon, Senators Aldrich,
Allison, Spooner and Platt, of Connec-
ticut, and Representatives Payne, Dal-
zell, Tawney and Grosvenor.
The senators are members of the
Senate steering committee and the
representatives are members of the
House ways and means committee in
addition to the speaker. The person
mel of the delegation invited naturally
suggests that matters relating to
the tariff were to be considered at
the conference. A difference of opin-
ion exists as to what, if any, action is
to be taken regarding the tariff, and
an effort will be made at this confer
ence to conciliate those differences
and If possible to determine on the
line of procedure that will be satisfac-
tory to Republicans generally.
In line with the policy of consulting
the members of Congress concerning
the proposed legislation, the President
today had a talk with Senators Cullom,
Beveridge, Nelson and Lodge. Several
topics were discussed, but no conclu-
sions were reached. Senator Nelson
said he was in entire accord with the
Presidents views regarding the inter-
state freight rates and hoped that
some legislation relating to the sub
ject might be enacted at the present
session.
Bard's Land Bill.
Senator Bard has introduced a bill
providing for the disposal of lands ac-
quired under the provisions of the re-
clamation act. Under the bill all lands
susceptible OF irrigation, BY means OF.
works constructed under the reclama-
tion act of June II, 1902, which are un-
surveyed, may be subdivided in the
same manner as other public lands.
The secretary OF the interior is au-
thorized to lease any lands proposed to
be utilized for irrigation works during
such times as the lands may not be
needed.
The engineers who are employed in
the government reclamation service
began their second annual conference
today. Representative were present
from all parts of the west. Plans and
estimates for large irrigation projects
water laws, distribution of water,
stream measurements, drainage and
cement and concrete materials are
among the subjects to be considered
during the sessions, which will con-
tinue for several days.
Negro Confirmed.
After a sharp debate the nomination
OF w. L. Crum, negro, to be collect
or Of customs at the port of Charles
ton, South Carolina, was confirmed.
Crum is now serving under the last
OF three recess appointments. His
confirmation was by vote of 33 to II.
Pass One Bill.
Late yesterday afternoon the House
passed the Notifications bill without
amendment and adjourned until Nom
day.

Washington will ever become the
social capital of the nation seems to
have been answered affirmativelly
in the past ten years, With the adj
of the wealthy, pleasure loving class
who spend the winters here have
been increased by millionaires from
all sections of the country. Many
of them have built homes in the city
and in the cases of the Walshs, Pat
tersons, the Wadsworth, and the
Larz Andersons palaces have been
erected, that their owners might en-
terrain in a style of magnificence and
costliness worthy OF royalty. The
Senate, recently known as the mill.
ionaires club" is in reality so and at
present that body represents more
wealth, ii is thought, than any legis-
lative body that ever voted. The
''boss of the Senate" as Senator Aid
rich of Road Island is called the
father in law of John D.. Rockefeller
Jr. Senator Depew is several times
a millionaire and while in Washing
ton occupies the fine old Corcoran
house where he entertains lavishly.
his dinners for example, at which
from twenty to forty persons are
guests average ST. a plate without
the wines which he supplies from his
own cellars. Senator Clark of Mon
tana who has just returned to Wash
ington with his twenty two year old
wife whom he did not acknowledge
for two or three years after the mar
riage, is one of the richest men in
the country. A few years ago he
purchased the old Stewart Castle on
DUPONT circle opposite the Letter
Mansion but has rot yet built the
palace that was anticipated. If Wash.
ington makes up its mind to except
his wife he will probably decide to
have a winter home here that will
equal his Fifth Avenue residence in
New York.
