signed bale Of dry hides to the Denver

cave them because they had not been

The shippers claimed the law was invalr

The t0urts of New Mexico had held that
the law is valid, ahd I'm appeal has been
taken to the United States Supreme

CANAL OPPORTUNITIES.
Correspondent Brings Out the Favorable POiHs Near Aztec
"A True Statement

Editor Index:
Having been asked by interested
parties outside the territory of New
Mexico for facts that would justify
the building of the New Eden or any
other high line canal TO cover the un-
watered lands adjacent to Aztec and
Pennington, with your permission
herewith submit for publication some
excellent reasons why this canal
should be built;
To the old-timer here VINO has seen
the country grow from a wilderness
of sage brush to, in many instances,
a perfect fruit garden, no evidence is
required to convince him that the
time is ripe for further improve
ment in canal construction.
Abundant proof is also at hand that
a great many, perhaps thousands of
years ago, the ancient Aztec, whose
knowledge of art is now evidenced by
the magnificent ruins throughout the
country, patiently titled the soil,
much after the fashion of his success
sor. Large stone structures, many
pieces of pottery, large bins of
charred corn and evidences of irriga-
ton canals still exist.
The county records show that as
far back as 1887 the Great Eastern
canal was surveyed from Cedar Hill,
along the east side of the Animas ri
yer, crossing the divide at identically
the same point Though considerably
lower) as that of the New Eden sur
vey, doubling back up the valley of
the San Juan for distance of per-
haps twelve or fifteen miles and COW
ering a large portion of the same land
that later surveys cover; 1t is also
true that construction was actually
begun on this line and nile or more
of expensive work done but subse-
quently abandoned. Antedsting the
coming of the railroad through the
valley by IS years it is question at
this time whether the outlay of capi.
tai would at that time have justified
the effort. There is a strong proba-
bility that the building Of this canal
at that date might have greatly stim-
ulated railroad building into and
through the valley, just now there
seems to be an active rivalry existing
on the part of railroad Gl'ildefs fl nh
tain choice of routes in the Animas,
La Plata, San Juan and other valleys
throughout the country.
So, ,hl,ic..:s has already been said by
those of us who think they vSE see 2
great future for this country that In
heralding It's praises IL seems like
continuous repetition to go over il
again and again. but since it is not al
ways what we say of ourselves that
carries weight, in this instance we
will gracefully step aside and let our
neigRbor just north of us tell the st6ry
