Donated to New State,

1t has been generally said that
the lands donated to the terri
tories of New Mexico and Ari-
zona on their becoming a joint
state under the recent act of
congress have a value of $50, ,OOO,-
600. After looking into this
matter the new Mexican has
come to the conclusion that the
actual value of the donated lands
is much greater than the above
figures would Indicate. The
state would get four sections Of
land from each township, ex-
cept in cases where the lands
have already been disposed Of
by the national government, and
in such cases other lands in lieu
thereof can be selected. In
other words, out Of every town
ship containing 23,O4O acres, the
state would get $500 acres. The
two territories have about 15O,-
900, 600 acres within their boun-
daries. This would bring to the
new state about sixteen million
acres of land, or over ten per
cent Of the total area.
But this is not the only land
the state will receive. Three
hundred sections or one hundred
and ninety-five thousand acres
are given for legislative, execu-
tive and court purposes. Three
hundred sections more are given
for university purposes, the in
sane asylums, penitentiaries,
deaf, dumb and blind schools,
miners hospitals, normal schools,
reform schools aud charitable
institutions; agricultural col
leges and schools of mines re-
ceive a total Of one million, six
hundred thousand acres. This
makes . total acreage of $780,
800, or nearly nineteen million
acres. At the very low price Of
only two dollars per acre, these
lands would have . valuation Of
nearly thirty-eight million dol
lars; nor are the lands hereto
fore donated to the two terri
tories and by them selected in-
cluded in the above. New Mex

Growing water Lilies FFona seed.
Many OF the choicest water lilies,
even the magnificent Victoria regia,
may be grown from seed. For many
years the seed Of this lily, when
brought to this country, failed to ser

1t was finally found that by betting
the seeds in the water OF the river in
which they grew they could be trans
ported safely from the waters OF the
Amazon to the far west. Here the lily
is usually grown with bottom heat. rs
it is very tender. Seeds started In pots

to those who have seen Pilot
Peak or Mt. Shasta, but it is
surely pretty, with its long val
ley stretching down to Grow
Flat.
Cedar groves and pihOn greet
the eye at every point, and
these are separated by several
acres Of glade or prairie, thickly
covered with white and black
grammal grass, forming a thick
sod, not easily tramped out.
Other varieties are also inter-
mixed.
The land is mostly undulating,
but q good deal Of level land is
also in evidence. It is of lime
stone formation and very fertile,
having a good clay subsoil suffi-
ciently shallow to Oretain moisture
in most localities, indicating the
best Of orchard land.
But few settlers inhabit this
lovely valley, and a big per cent
of these live in dugouts. But
they are blazing the way for fu-
ture immigration. The absence
Of water is all that has kept it
from being a thickly populated
valley. Reservoirs and cisterns
supply the place of wells and
springs at present. Some of
these were exhausted during the
late dry spell, when several fam
lilies hauled water from the
Sacramento, some ten miles dis
tant.
Recently q good rain fell in
the upper portion, with several
days drizzling in the lower val
ley.
From all one could see and
learn Of the settlers in SO brief a
time, there is not settlement
in New Mexico more hOspitable,
more sOciable,and with more sand
in their crops than these pioneers

people think. Not only does this name stand
for the latest in style, the best in finish and

Every garment of this brand is strictly "AlI

SUMMIT ROAD" SURVEYED.
To Accommodate Sacramento
Ranohmen and for Automo-
bilists.

Prof. Edwin Walters has fin
ished the survey Of the Sum-
NIT Road" and it is pronounced
to be the finest mountain road
way in New Mexico, starting in
the foot hills just east of Ala
mogOrdO and skirting the hill
sides for distance of ninteen
miles, passing some of the grand
est canon scenes in the Sacra-
mentO Mountains or in New
Mexico, and reaching the sum-
NIT of the Sacramento Mountain
near the head of Spud canon or
the Pehasco, south of Russia,
and not far from ClOudcrOft.
This will give q travel way for
thousands of Sacramento Noun
tain ranchmen to market at
Alamogordo whereas now they
are compelled to go q long dis
tance to Roswell or to I'll Paso.
This road will also furnish one
of the finest automobile lines in
America, with the steepest grade
at not more than II per cent and
this for not more than two hun
dred yards, and from here to
ClOudcroft makes it an ideal
travel way for automobiles.
Prof. Walters furnished us
with the following facts and fig
ures concerning the roadway and
its construction:
The route is entisely satisfac-
tory. There are three short Sec
tiOns where the grades are be-
tween ten and eleven per cent.
Usually they are less than eight.
Between Dry canon pass and
CaballerO springs there are two
miles nearly level.
The route from the court house
to the summit of the Sacramento
MOuntains-near the head of
the Pehasco cahon-is 100, 600
feet, or 10 miles and $50 feet.
The earth-fOr a 16-foot road
is estimated at about $4,000 Gu
bic yards, the solid rock at 1900
and the loose rock at 10000 GU
bic yards. The bridging will
cost from 5000 to $1,000. The
total cost is from $4,000 to $2O,-
600. There are good springs on the
proposed road as follows: 5, IL
and 18 miles from the court
house.
The route will afford the fin
est scenery of that of any other
road in the entire southwest"
Now that we have secured the
great national sanatOrium for
this place, with an additional
private sanatOrium in view,
and a hundred room hotel to be
erected by next November Ala
mOgOrdO is just on the verge of q
great and substantial boom, and
one that win not cease till our
population has reached 1000.
And in this connection it is
proper to mention that the re-
port has been given out that the
Phelps Dodge people are to ex-
pend a million and half in inn
provements at Cloudcroft, which
Of course means . great boom
for this section, and with the
Summit Road" for ranchmen
Of the Sacramento Mountains to
reach market at Alamogordo,
and for automobilists between
ClOudcrOft and AlamOgordo,
makes for our people something
to be truly proud of.
