JOHN FRANCIS COOK DEAD.
old and Highly Respected Citizen Of
socorro County. Expired This
Morning

John Francis Cook died at 3
o'clock this morning at his home
a mile west of this city. The
event was not unlocked for; in
fact, it had been expected hourly
for two or three days, and every
thing that loving, tender care
could do was done to make the
end what he himself wished il to
be. Mr. Cooks last hours were
without suffering and death came
as gently as sleep comes to tired
child. Thus passes another of
Socorro county's old settlers, one
who was widely known and
wherever known blessed with
degree of honor and esteem which
il is the lot of but few men to
enjoy.
John Francis Cook was born
near Friendship, Virginia, Jan.
~. 1912. In 1861 he enlisted in
the confederate army from WASH
iugton county. During the four
years which followed he rendered
arduouS service in the cavalry
branch of the confederate armies
under Generals j. +. b. Stuart
and VIM. McGregor, and was
mustered out with the rank of
first gun sergeant. After the
close of the war Mr.. Cook resided
in Alabama, Kansas, and Colorado
until he came to Socorro in 1881.
From that time until his death
he was a resident of Socorro.
During his residence in Socorro
county he occupied several POI
Sitions of public trust, among
them being those of deputy
sheriff and deputy u. S. marshal.
Mr.. Cook was a thirty-Second de-
gree Mason, a member of Socorro
Lodge No. y. A. f. and A. NJ,
the Santa Fe Lodge of Perfee-
tion. and of other Masonic bodies.
He was also an Elk, being affiliat-
ed with the Albuquerque lodge
of that order.
Mr.. Cook was married July 20,
1870, to Anetta Fischer at Par
sons, Kansas. He leaves a widow,
and two sons. Geo. f. Cook of
this city and Francis M. Cook OF
Arlington, Va, and five grand
children. Funeral services will
be conducted from the family
residence tomorrow afternoon at
2:30 o'clock under the auspices of
Socorro Lodge No. Q, A. F. and
A. NJ.

FACT AND FICTION JUMDLED
FL Paso Herald's Remarkable Dis
patch on socorro Irrigation Com
pany's Well.

Under big head letters reading
"A Big Artesian Flow Struck at
Socorro City" the FL Paso Her
aid of Monday contained the fol-
lowing remarkable article pur-
porting to be a dispatch from
Santa Fe:
"A tremendous volume OF
water was struck by the Socorro
Irrigation company, which is
sinking experimental wells in the
Socorro valley with a view of de-
veloping sufficient water to re-
claim the entire valley for many
miles along the river. A colony
of BohemianS is making a start
in this reclamation work. The
flow averages - feet of water
every ten hours and the pumps
cannot diminish it, although
pumping five inches a second"
1t would require a "tremen-
dous volume" of ingenuity to
blend a little fact and much fic-
tion into a more striking tumble
of inconsistencies than is con-
tanned in the article quoted.
The facts concerning the we'll re-
ferred to are that the Socorro r.
rigation company has drilled a
we'll u feet deep on its thirty
acre tract of land and pumped a
5-inch stream of water several
hours in succession without any
diminution in the flow. Every
thing else in the Herald's article
is pure fiction. One inconsist-
ency i'll that article is in the
statement that the flow aver
ages u feet of water every ten
hours and the pumps cannot di-
minish it." How lin the name
o. Tom Walker" can a pump di-
minish a flow of artisan water:
Another inconsistency in the
Herald's remarkable article is in
the implied statement that a
flow of 5 inches of water a sec
ond amounts to - feet in ten
hours. A little mathematical
calculation reveals the fact that
a flow of 5 inches a second
amounts to a flow of no less than
$4,000 feet in ten hours. The
same mathematical calculation
leads to the conclusion, also, that
the Herald's reporter must have
been full of something besides
his subject Of water when he
penned his tremendous volume
of nonsense.

PUMPING WATER FOR IRRIGATION
What Is Being Done Near Albu-
buquerque May Be Done Near
Socorro.

AS an excellent illustration of
what may be done in the valley
in way of pumping water for ir-
rigation, the Albuquerque Citi-
gen of Wednesday evening gives
the following:
j. r. Hills has returned from
El Paso, his former home and
where he spent the last four
months. Mr.. Hill owns in the
valley just below town ranch
containing 210 acres. This prop
erty he has named the Hill Wells
ranch, because of the fact that it
contains five wells, the last of
which has not been quite finish
ed. From one of them, having
gasoline engine and tank, he ex-
poets to water twenty acres
which he will put in garden
truck. The other wells will, as
soon as can be conveniently done,
be made useful in irrigating 9TH
er parts of the ranch, which will
be devoted to crops suitable to
the soil and climate.
Fifty acres lie so low that the
foods last year denuded them OF
a fine growth of alfalfa. To
avoid this loss again and yet re-
ceive a return from the land Mr.
Hill will plant the tract to trees,
which though not making an i'm
mediate return will in a few
years be one of the most valua-
bic parts of his ranch. Mr.. Hill
is also adding largely to his
mich stock and to his large col
lection of fowls. In a few years
he expects to have one OF the
model places of this section"

LITTLE UNA LEWIS DEAD.
Death Ended the suffetings of the
Brave Little Girl Wednesday
Morning.

After days and nights of anx-
ious watching by her mother and
other relatives, death relieved
the suffering of little Una Lewis,
daughter of Sergeant and Mrs.
h. w. Lewis on Wednesday
morning between the hours of g
and 9 O'clock at the age of !
years and Z months. Death was
due to wounds received two
weeks ago when she was terribly
burned about the abdomen, hips,
and lower limbs, her clothing
having taken fire while she and
other children were building a
bonfire. An extremely sad fea-
ture of the case is that the
father, who is on mounted
police duty down in Mexico,
could not be reached in time to
attend the funeral which was
held Thursday afternoon from
San Miguel church.
Little Una filled a place in the
hearts of her loved ones that
can only be occupied by a frail,
dependant child, and through
her long intense suffering prov
ed herself a brave little spirit,
and with her own baby lips and
voice constantly bade her mother
not to weep, that she, Una, would
not die and leave her.
In a little snow white casket,
laden with delicate flowers, no
more pure in their innocence than
the jewel it held, little Una was
laid to rest in a grave prepared
for her precious little body in
consecrated ground.

MUST PAY DELINQUENT TAXES.
District Attorney Elfsgo Baca Has
Brought Suit to Enforce Such
Payment.

District Attorney Elfego Baca
has brought suit to enforce the
payment of all delinquent taxes
for the year 1904. Parties know
ing themselves to be delinquent
for that year should settle such
delinquencieS with District Clerk
w. r. Martin at once and thus
save themselves unnecessary
costs. These collections will be
enforced. A word to the wise
should be sufficient.
