Loves New Mexico Best.

+ Every man has right to his opin-
ion so long as it does not conflict with
the moral of civil rights of others, or
with the laws of the government in
which he lives. 1t applies to news
papers the same as individuals. We
are opposed to the union of these two
territories, not that we dislike Ari-
zona, but because we love New
Mexico and have great confidence in
her, and believe that her ability is
sufficient and her resources great
enough to properly manage a state
government within her present
boundaries, and to tack Arizona to
US is an injustice. We believe that
congress would never have permitted
the joint statehood bill to pass had
it not the assurance that one or the
other of the Territories would oppose
it. The East, as it stands today, is
opposed to an increase of western
representation in congress, and to
carry out its purpose OF forcing down
western presentation put New
Mexico and Arizona together, saying
by the bill that we can only have
half what we are entitled to and if
we do not accept that we cannot
have anything. On the question
every citizen of these Territories has
a right to think, act, talk and vote
as he pleases, and no paper in the
area of the proposed state of Arizona
will more heartily welcome the will
of the people, be it yea or nay, than
The Stockman, for 1T respects the
will of the people when spoken by
the ballot.-Colfax County Stockmon.

Yaquis Murder Man at Campus.

A horrible Yaqul story has reached
here from the neighborhood of Cum
pas, Sonora, where last week, Joa-
quin Acosto, upon being separated
from two companions, was murdered
and afterwards decapitated. His
headless trunk was later found when
a search was made by his COM
panions.
The two men were driving some
burros laden with wheat when sew
eral of the animals strayed away.
Acosto went in search of the ami
mails, telling his companion to stay
with the train and meet him at d
certain place. The train went on
but Acosto did not appear at the ap-
pointed place, and, his companion
becoming uneasy, instituted a search
for Acosto, finding his headless
body lying in the hills. The head
was either hidden or carried away.

THE KISS.

The purest kiss in the world is this,
The first that the mother lays
On her child's fresh lips,
AS he brightly trips
To meet the world and its ways.
The sweetest kiss in the world is this:
The first long kiss of love.
When earth's forgot,
And time is not,
And Heaven opens from above.
The saddest kiss in the world is this:
The kiss on unanswering clay,
When the cold lips tell
We must say farewell
Till the dawn of the Judgment day.

FATE OF sALTON SEA.
Preparations Complete for Second A.
tempt to Stem Flow of Colorado
Into Basin.

The Southern California Develop
ment company is building a railroad
from near Yuma to the point of the
rivers departure from its old bed,
The purpose of the railroad being to
haul such materials to the point of
the break as will be needed to turn
the stream away from the artificial
sea. Its construction, including
other preliminary work, has entailed
a cost to the company of nearly
800, 900 during the past eight months.
The method by which it is hoped to
turn the river back into It's original
course is simple. A huge headgate
has been built at one side of the
present river bed into which the
ktream is to be turned when the
proper time comes. The headgate
will be also erected in a channel
leading into Salton Sea, but will
swing around the point where the
dam is to be constructed. The divert
ing of the river into the improvised
channel containing the headgate
will be comparatively easy matter,
but it will give the workmen the op-
F0rtunityS of going on with their
work uumolested. Two thousand
feet of rush mattress will be placed
in the channel as foundation for
the dam, and the bulwark is to be
constructed so strongly, as to obviate
the possibility of the waters tearing
it down.
At the crucial moment when
the dam is completed, the headgate
of the improvised channel will be
closed and the stream will naturally
seek its present channel. But as the
dam will bar its pathway, and as the
headgate will act as a similar OBJ
stacle, the river, it is hoped, will be
forced back into its original channel
and away from Salton Sea. Some
months ago a somewhat similar at
tempt was made, but, although the
dam stood, the river found a soft
spot in the embankment through
which it found egress.
''The main difficulty in turning the
river is in the soft nature of the
soil." Mr.. Randolph said at the Van
Nuys hotel. "The alluvial deposit
offers little resistance to the force of
the waters, and the great problem, in
building the dam, is to prevent the
stream from finding another opening
in the soft emhankment
From the point where the river
leaves its old bed to where it flows
into the Salton Sea is fall of 425
feet. This gives the stream a ter
rife force, difficult to counteract.
But we have made every arrange
ment to prevent repetition of last
November's failure. Within fifteen
days the river will be at its lowest,
and we have chosen that time as the
one most auspicious for the under
taking"
The road from the Imperial valley
to the point of the contemplated
dam is twelve miles long. One thous-
and men are at work preparing for
the work of turning the river but
fully again as many will be employed
when the actual work of divertiug
the stream is commenced.

1t is learned from A. Sandoval that
George Westinghouse proposes to
erect a large smelling plant on the
Santa Cruz river near Nogales,
where will be treated ores from his
Duquesne copper mine in the Pata-
gonia range, and about thirty miles
northeast of Nogales. This property
has been under development for
some years past and has become a
prospective mine or much import
ance, as described in recent issue of
the Mining Review. Mr.. Westing-
house has bought a large tract near
Nogales and will connect smelter and
mines with an electric railroad. He
has acquired a great number of cop
per claims in the vicinity.

Field Estate Taxed Nearly Three Million

A three-cornered controversy be-
tween the Board of Review, exc
cutors of the Marshall Field estate
and the Corporation Counsellor's Of
fee came to an end in Chicago last
week, when the taxing body decided
that the Field estate be taxed on d
total of Sl8O,OOO,OOO including back
taxes.
The executors will be compelled to
pay the county s2,8OO,OOO which is
more than the total amount in per-
sonal property that Field was taxed
during the last years of his life.
The greater part of the back taxes
on Fields property, how ever, es-
capped payment.

Building Of the "Peavine" Has Done Much
For Arizona. Great Commercial Ar.
terry is Fast Developing.

The Santa Fe. Prescott & Phoenix
Railroad company, with It's connecting
lines, has without question been the
overshadowing influence In the devel.
opment Of central Arizona and upon
these grand commercial arteries will
depend In q large measure increasing
prosperity. Much has been written
concerning the Santa Fe proper and
the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix,
which was constructed In the begin.
ming mainly In f~urtherance Of q few

feeder has itself become a parent

Is destined In the very near future
to form a section OF q new Santa Fe

playing an important role IN cross.

do more for the development Of CEN

ences OF whatever nature. The Ari-

from the gulf to the coast, the lines
through Texas and New Mexico

tension Of the Arizona system from

for the huge undertaking OF bridging

the great transcontinental link would

Of that structure will perhaps take

achieved by overcoming the greatest

having for It's primary purpose an
outlet for the city of Proenix and the
Congress mine. the project was look
ed upon az foolhardy, when the great
expense OF mountain railroad build
