Irrigation in New Mexico.

A Santa Fe dispatch Of February 1st
says; At the hearing before Commits
sioner G. A. Richardson in the aKnsas-
Colorado water case testimony was
given to-day by r. E. Twitch, T. B. Cat
ron and Solomon Luna. Their testi-
mony was in regard to ancient meth
ods of irrigation in New Mexico and
how irrigation benefits the arid land.
Mr.. aCtron estimated that under the
reclamation act at least 15,OO0,OOO
acres in this territory could be made
productive, although only 25O,OOO acres
are cultivated now. The commission
completed it's sitting here this evening
and will proceed to Roswell for a cou-
pie of days. From there Commissioner
Richardson and the attorneys in the
case will go to Little Rock and Fort

New Mexico Weather Conditions.

Following is the weather bulletin, is
sued February 1st, for New Mexico:
"The month of January has been a
mild and rather wet one, the first half
especially having much rain and snow
over practically all of the territory.
The soil is thoroughly soaked and in
excellent condition for early plowing
and seeding, while the outlook for
early and excellent range and abun-
dant water was seldom better. A lit
tie plowing has been done in the lower
Rio Grande valley.
alfalfa is apparently wintering
we'll, also fruit. The mountains are
heavy with snow, but the valleys and
southern slopes are generally bare.
Range in northeast counties is poor
and some loss of cattle and sheep is
reported in that section, but generally
stock is in fair to good condition and
farmers and ranchmen appear conf
dent of most favorable season"

Territorial Ranger Bill.

A Las Vegas dispatch says: The
officers of the cattle sanitary board
are taking the greatest interest in the
fate of the ranger bill that has been
prepared for introduction in the legis-
lature. The general feeling of the
cattlemen in this section is that the
measure has no chance of passing, as
it seems to be regarded by many as
serving special interest. Therefore.
it is argued, the territory should not
be put to the expense of paying for the
ranges.
Secretary Barnes of the Territorial
Cattle Growers association, suggests
compromise measure, in case the bill
fails, that doubtless will go through.
1t is that the cattlemen of the terri
tory pay an additional mill taxes, and
that this amount go to the payment OF
the salaries of seven or eight rangers
to be under the supervision of the cat
tie sanitary board and the Cattle
Growers association.

How the Navalos Farm.

Mr.. Prewitt of Aztec, San Juan
county, in an interview published in
the Satna Fe New Mexican, says:
"The Navajo Indians, whose reser-
vation covers the entire western part
of the county, have lately made won
derful progress in agricultural pur-
suits under the guidance OF w. I.
Sheldon, the agent for the north half
of the Navajo reservation, and tor-
merly of Santa Fe.
"Up to the present year the agr1cul-
ture of the Navajos have been confined
to small patches, easily irrigated along
the streams, but in 1904 the matter
was taken hold of Systematically, the
government having previously assisted
the Navajos in constructing small
bitches along the lower lands OF the
San Juan valley, and the results were
more than could have been expected
by the most sanguine. One Indian, be-
sides supplying his own needs, sold
$4,000 pounds Of his wheat, and care
full estimate showed that the Nava1os
along the San Juan river had raised
some 250,000 pounds of grain, besides
other crops such as alfalfa, beans, po-
tatoes, and a variety of other vege-
tables.

dians have made in agriculture should

Hearing at Santa Fe.

A Santa Fe dispatch of January 31st
says:
In the Kansas-C Colorado water right
suit, testimony was heard to-day in
the Supreme Court chamber by Com
missioner G. A. Richardson of the
United States Supreme Court. The
United States was represented by A.
c. Campbell of Washington, as assist
ant attorney general; the state of Col
orado by G. d. Hayt of Denver and c..
G. Dawson of Canon City, and the state
of Kansas by S. S. Ashbaugh, with
John r. Doyle of Denver, official stem
ographer.
Among the witnesses examined were
Governor Otero, President Luther
Foster of the College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts at Las Cruces,
M. W. Mills of Colfax county, w. S.
Hopewell, general manager of the AL
buquerque Eastern railway, R. E.
Twitchell of Las Vegas, It. B. Catron
of this city and Solomon Luna of Los
Lunas. The testimony introduced by
these witnesses went to show the i'm
portance of irrigation in the arid re-
gions and how land would be en-
hanced by the construction of irriga-
tion systems and storage reservoirs
under the reclamation act.
The great benefit to agriculture and
horticulture due to irrigation was tes-
titled to by the witnesses and it was
proved that from 100000 to 15,O00,-
900 acres of land could be irrigated in
New Mexico by the proper storage and
use of the waters from the streams in
the territory.

Navajo reservation, could be irrigated
from the San Juan river at very rea-
sonable cost. If the government would
take this matter up and furnish suffi-
cient money to take out bitches to
cover this land, it could at once begin
to put the Navajo Indians on a self
sustaining basis.
First, the building of these bitches
would furnish employment to the In
dians, and to this class Of work they
are we'll adapted. Then, after the
bitches were completed, enough land
would be brought under irrigation to
furnish practically every Indian on the
reservation (of which there are some
twenty thousand) with a home, on
which he could become an independ-
ent farmer. And, as Commissioner
Leupp is more or less familiar with the
condition of the Navajos l am In
hopes he will take the matter up, and
vigorously push it to completion"

Kennedy, Leigh Clark of Plttsburg;
Delegate-elect w. H. Andrews of AL

pany. It's lines are. to run from Albu-

and from Torrance on the Santa Fe

This proposed new railroad mileage
amounts to considerably over thou
sand miles and it certainly looks as If
at least 500 miles of it will be under
actual construction during the year
and be completed by January l, 1906.
The Albuquerque Eastern railroad, the
extension of the Denver & Rio Grande
from Durango to Pennington and the
Eastern railroad of New Mexico from
Texico to Puerco station, can safely
be put into that category. The build
ing and extensions of the other lines
herein are more than prob
able, in one or two cases almost GER
tain. The indications that New Mex
leo will boom during the present year
and in 1906 are multiplying and are
slowly crystalizing into agreeable |
facts.

Reservoir for Las Vegas Grant.

A Las Vegas dispatch Of January
Goth says: Las Vegas believes it is
certain to secure government reser-
voir. So satisfactory have been the
assurances from the engineers as to
the report that will be made upon the
proposition that has been under con-
sideration here for months, that
committee of citizens Is now dispos-
ing of the 10000 acres of land to be
brought under irrigation. In less than
one days work 1000 acres were taken
being sent outside.
The commissioners of the Las Vegas
grant will cede the land back to the
government, and each taker of the land
obligates himself to pay $50 an acre
for the land for ten years, at the expir
alton of which time the permanent
water rights and the deed to the land
go to. the settler.
The land is deep and rich and the
water would be sufficient to irrigate
$4,000 acres. However, the amount
available will not amount to much
more than 10000 acres. The small
amount of land for time made the
recommendation of the project doubt
full, but now that it is certain that
every acre will be subscribed for in
advance, and the government assured
of the repayment of the money, 1t is
felt that there will be no danger of
the failure of the project.
In every respect, the statistics asked
for by the department regarding the
home markets, the kind of crops that
can be raised, and the yield per acre,
have been more than assuring.
