Reckless Waste
Of Flood Waters

X. !. Meeker. who came
here TO replace gauges in the
Sapello and the Gallinas, Is Impress
ed with the amount Of water being
carried to waste by the two streams.
The cages now established show q
considerable depth of water In both
streams. Mr.. Meeker believes, from
what he learned. Of the precipitatlpn
In these parts and what he knows
Of the extent Of the drainage basin
that more water goes to waste In
flood time than is carried by the
streams all the rest of the year.
The gentleman took measurements
on the Purgatoire just after the floods
OF last year. He found that at q
point. not very far removed from
Trinidad enough water was carried
away In four days 10 cover fifty thou
sand acres with water to the depth
of a foot Some distance further

Revenue Officers
investigating

AS the result of investigations
which are being made by John A. Nc
Cabe, district officer for the revenue
department with office at Omaha, and
A. J. Loomis, deputy revenue inspec-
tor and collector for New Mexico,
some sensational announcements will
likely be made regarding large guam
tity of bad whisky with which the
country has been flooded, says the
Albuquerque Citizen.
The fraud seems to have been per-
petrated by The distiliers and at the
original package honses. Saecharine
matter has been used In many in.
stances and with deceiving effect. Lo-
cal wholesale and retail liquor houses
have been visited by Mr.. McCabe and
Mr.. Loomis and many samples of liz
nor have been taken for investigation
The investigation must necessarily be
made through evaporation and 1t may
be some time before the extent to
which the fraud has been perpetrated
is known Sales Of liquor suspected
10 be adulterated have been stopped
pending these Investigations and II
the goods are found TO be doctored the
whole stock will be eonfiscated.
Mr.. Loomis said at the Alvarado
this morning that the revenue Officers
were playing no favorites; that the
fraud would be probed TO the bottom
and the perpetrators give the full
benefit OF the governing law.
