NEW MExIoo's POPULATION
GROWING.

The number of homestead and
desert land entries made in the
four land districts of the Terri
tory during the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1905, indicates
very satisfactory increase in the
population of New Mexico.
Judging by these entries and cal
culating one-half of them TO
have been made by immigrants
and newcomers, the number of
people in the Sunshine Territory
that year has increased by at
least $1,000. At that rate New
Mexico will make a very credita-
BILE showing in the 1910 census.

ment appeared in the columns of
the Chieftain to effect that an
effort would be made to have an
investigation of the city water
works made by an expert water
system man, and through the eff
forts of Mayor A. c. Abeytia,
the city council and Hon. w. +.
Martin eliminated in secur-
ing the services of Mr.. Frank
Owen of Santa Fe, who is con-
ceded to be the best informed
man on water supply systems in
the west.
INVESTIGATION.
On his arrival in the city Sun
day, Mr.. Owen, on his own ac-
count, started out on a.quiet tour
of inspection and later stat
ed that in not a single instance
did he find the law governing the
usage of. the water, complied
with. That although it was be-
tween , and 3 o'clock in the af-
ternoon when the water for city
irrigation should be completely
shut off, net a single hydrant on
the street gone over was closed,
but on the contrary were all
turned on full force. And he
openly stated that it was Just
this abuse of the law that mater
tally affected our water supply.
He also made the startling state
ment that our pipe line was not
in the first place, laid by a me-
chanic; that in order to put the
city water works in first-class con-
dition an expenditure of from
$500 to $4,000 would be
necessary. That with the recon-
struction of the pipe line the flow
would be increased 40 per cent.
GOES TO WORK.
Monday morning with about
forty men, thirty of whom were
furnished by the A. II. & S. F.
railroad company through COM
pliment of Division Superintend-
ent l.. u. Morris, Mr.. Owen at
once set to work at the spring
and along the line and in that
one days work did the city un-
told benefit by clearing the spring
of tons of dirt and sediment;
turned a stream into the main
conduct that would fill a three
inch pipe, which had heretofore
been going to waste. The main
conduct pipe was lowered at the
spring some two feet, the water
at the time lacking about two
inches of filling the main, had
before night, it is stated, rose
nearly two feet.
REASON FOR POOR PRESSURE.
Mr.. Owen gives as reason for
the poor pressure between the
post Office and depot, that a
valve has become rusted and
dropped down, thus shutting off
the force. He also strongly rec
ommends that the city use all
water from the reservoir, thereby
adding greatly to the pressue.
Compared with the expense
this investigation and repair,
though meager, comparatively
speaking, was the best move the
city officials have made in years.
And from a sanitary standpoint
alone, will prove of untold value
to our people. There are yet
many changes within the power.
financially speaking, of the city
fathers, which Mr.. Owen strong
! ly advises, and for the future
welfare of our town and protec-
tion of property, those in author
ity would do we'll to comply with
| as soon as practicable.

CRIME MOST BRUTAL ONF

Kansas City, Jan. 13.-The taking
of testimony in the trial of Frank
Hoffman, charged with the murder of
Clarence Myers began to-day. After
this case is completed, Mrs. Aggie
Myers, widow of the murdered man
will be put on trial on the same
charge, although in all her exami-
nations she has never varied an iota
from her statement of the case made
originally, that negro burglars slew
her husband. Prosecutor Kimball in
making his statement to the jury said
that the state would show that Holt
man and Mrs. Myers were friends
from childhood, and that they had
visited frequently since the wonan's
marriage to Myers. The state would
prove that the couple had concocted
a plot to murder Myers. That it was
for this purpose that Hoffman had
come to Kansas City from Higgins
vile. That he carried with him a
billiard cue butt, vas admitted to
the Myers home at midnight, fell up
on Myers who was in bed. half sleep
ing and sick, but who Lut up game
fight for life, and that the state would
prove that Mrs. Myers, instead of
answering her husbands cries for
help, fell upon him attacking him
with a razor and a pair of scissors,
while Hoffman pinioned his arms.
The defense made no statement to
the jury. The state had called eleven
witnesses before noon. The blood
stained scissors, razor and hat left
behind by the murderer were adj
mitted as evidence. Detectives found
these articles concealed in the Myers
home. Physicians at the time of the
Inquest testified that death was
caused - .issht long slashes Of a
razor. and stab wounds by a

PEOPLE HOPE FOR REFORM

St. Petersburg, Jan. 13th.-The
anti-war feeling in Russia is now
stronger than it has been at any time.
The effect of the fall of Port Arthur
is just beginning to be felt in the in
terror of the empire. The great dis
satisfaction with the autocratic form
of government which has burdened
the people of Russia is taking most
pronounced forms In the Southern
provinces, where there have been Sc
political assasinations within the past
two weeks. Hope that the reforms de-
manded by the Tensions would be
granted are giving way to the belief
that nothing will be done.
The authorities are now drawing
tighter than ever the reins over
popular gatherings. The o dessa
literary society has been dispersed BY
the police because 1t discussed
politics. Delegates to the congress OF
natural sciences teachers at Kief were
forced into the streets by the police
with drawn swords because they
sympathized with the reform move
ment.
