BIGGEST ARTIFICIAL
LAKE IN WORLD
Near Las Cruces to Be Created by
EngIe Dam-Funds Not All
Available.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 22.-The
reservoir to be created in New Mexico
north OF Las Cruces by the great
Engle Dam will have a capacity of
100000 acre feet, or twice that ere.
ated by the Assuan Dam in Egypt, and
will be the largest artificial lake in
the world.
Owing to the great demand made
on the reclamation fund in other To-
calities, the money for this entire pro-
ject is not yet available. Recognizing
the Importance of early action, how
ever, the secretary of the interior, on
December 2, 1905, allotted the sum of
100000 for the immediate construc-
tion of that portion of the project
known as the Leasburg Diversion 1t
is this dam with canal to connect it
with the old Las Cruces system for
which contract has just been let.
Work will be pushed rapidly during
the winter, and it is hoped that water
can be supplied to $4,000 acres in Me.

son of 1907.
The secretary of the interior has
executed a contract on behalf of the
United States, and approved thebond
of Contractor P. Nelson of San An
tonic, Texas, for the construction and
and completion of this diversion dam
and canal
The contract calls for the construc.
ton of six miles of canal, with 321 900
cubic yards of excavation, the furnish
ing driving of $4,000 linear feet of
round piles and 100000 feet board
measure of sheet piles, and 1900
cubic yards of concrete for the sun.

The letting of this contract launches
the government on the great work of
constructing the Rio Grande project,
one of the largest and most expensive
of the irrigation works of the reclaim.
alton service.
This project contemplates the con-
struction of a huge dam west of
Engle, New Mexico, to store water for
the irrigation of 100000 acres 10000
of which lie in New Mexico. The
cost of the entire system is estimated
at $7200,000. The main item of cost
is the dam, which will require 100000
barrels of cement, large amount of
machinery, gates, ETC., entailing a
heavy outlay for freight. IT is estl
mated that the dam will cost approx
mately $5,30O,000. 1t will be 225 feet
high, 1870 feet thick on the bottom
and 20 feet on top. 1t will be 1850 feet
long on top of the crest.

DIRECT WIRE CON.
NECTION WITH LAMY
Superintendent kurn of the Santa Fe
Railway Will Inaugurate This
Improvement at Early Date.

During his recent visit of inspection
to this city Superintendent James
Kurn of the New Mexico division of
the Santa Fe Railway system found
that complaints made by citizens, by
travellers and by the New Mexican,
that it was hard at times to obtain
correct information concerning the
and the departure of trains
on the main line and in this city We're
we'll founded. The cause for this bad
condition Of affairs seems to be in
the fact that all messages from and
to Santa Fe must be relayed at the
Lamy Railroad depot and that the op-
orator at that point at times does not
care to pay prompt attention to his
duties, at times does not want to do
so and at times is prevented by over
work from doing so. To obviate this
bad state of affairs, Superintendent
Kurn has requested the superintend-
ent of telegraph of the railroad to
connect the railroad station in this
city with the Lamy station by loop
and TO run a special wire for that
purpose from Lamy to Santa Fe and
back. The only expense in this mat
ter would be the cost of the material
namely, the wire, the staples, the in
sulatofs and the brackets and the cost
of stretching the wire. This would be
very small while the benefits to be
derived by this direct connection with
the main line wires would be very
great to the travelling public, to the
business community of Santa Fe and
to the railroad company. Much dis
with the train service
from and to Santa Fe on the Lamy
branch would be obviated by the car
rying out of Superintendent Kurn's
plan. 1t cannot come about any too
soon. This dissatisfaction and fric.
tion existing at present among travel
ers, among the business community
and citizens of this town, with the
train service on the Lamy branch Is
at times very annoying and detrimen-
tai. 1t will be we'll for all concerned
when the new telegraph connection
is made.

II am thinking seriously of apply
ing for patent on the style of bridge
now being built at Alamosa. I am sat
isfled that by following this plan of
using beams the cost of reinforced
concrete bridges will be greatly
cheapened. These kind of bridges
are especially adapted for mountain
streams and low banks. The beam
construction gives uhird more water
way than the ordinary arched bridge
and 1t is fully as durable at a saving
of fully a third in the expense of
putting up. My company will abso.
lutely guarantee them to Withstand
floods and bear up any load that may
be placed upon them. That is one
of the stipulations in the contract for
the Alamosa bridge.

 And when we had unstrung them We'd twenty score of forks and more, But not knife among them; And as we two had scarce a sou

 With sickly perfumes scented. And, oh, the show of art nouveau
 With which we were presented! And now we've got the little lot
