IN THE STORES

THE PALAIS ROYAL announces the
opening of the holiday season, and its
page today breathes the spirit of the
Christmastide. The piece de resistance for
the children is the tableau in the great
rotunda, where Santa Claus, accompanied
by fairy dolls, is seen emerging from a for
est of Christmas trees. The way to Doll
town is signifed by a sign post and the
promise is made that the inhabitants are
the most beautiful that eyes ever gazed
upon. The road to Booktown leads to the
northwest corner of Santa Claus kingdom
and books are here in sufficient numbers to
almost build veritable town. Christmas
cards and post cards also picture the sea-
son Of good will.
The upstairs and downstairs world Is a
feature of the opening" The basement
floor, generally known as ''housekeepers
paradise" has been converted into 'Alad-
din's palace" and the claim is that a
holiday season. This wonderful palace is
reached by comparatively small Stairway
or by the elevator.
On the fourth floor are the one-of-akind
pieces of furniture, pictures and rich
draperies. The third floor feature is the
Christmas apron bazaar, and this is also
hlled with gowns, wraps and undergar-
ments for women and children On the
second floor one finds table linens, needs
for Thanksgiving as well as for Christmas
presents. Here, too, are dress materials
and trimmings, with attractive boxes to
put them in and make them presentable.

countless delights of toyland over which
Santa Claus himself presided. The growth
of the book department of this store has
been nothing less than wonderful the past
year, and the list of books advertised today
is simply nibble of the literary spread to
be set forth on the tables and shelves to-
morrow. The big list Of table linen for to-

contract by t. F .Cazier, of Roswell,
who has 80 men and 80 teams at work
The river divides the irrigated dis
trict in halves.
The land irrigated by this reservoir
is owned entirely by individuals.
They have formed the Rio Hondo Wa
ter Users Association and this cor
%poration will have entire management
of the reservoir after it is completed
and accepted by the government.
These owners will pay for their water
rights at the rate of $2.75 per acre
for ten years. The estimated cost of
the work was $275.0OO. but it will
probably go close to $30O,O OO. The
s275.000. Each acre of irrigated land
will have paid $27.50 to the govern
men in ten years. Thus the land
owners will have to pay no interest.
The entire tract is owned mostly in
pieces of from twenty to 100 acres.
The association will have to keep a
practical man at the reservoir all of
the time, to do the actual work as
well as watchman's duty.
The question of suf1ciency of wa
ter to fill the reservoir is the least
of the problems before the men who
planned it. In the year 1905 the wa
ter that came down from the noun
tains would have filled it two and a
half times, as the head of water
showed over a hundred thousand acre
feet during the year. And last year
was only an average one in the
amount of rain and snow fall in the
mountains.
The Hondo project is the smallest
one ever taken up by the U. S. Recla-
nation service. Compared with it's
cost of $3O0,0 900 and It's ter thousand

toned the cost of the Truckee-CarsOn
project in Nevada, now underway,
reaching $500, 900 and its irrigated
of nearly 100000 acres and the
Salt River project of Arizona, irri-
eating over 10000. The largest
project ever taken up the the Service
is that of the Rio Grande, which is
yet only under consideration. Thai
project will cost $7,000,000.

COL. FRENCH GIVES LECTURE.
Delivers Splendid Address on the
Wonder OF the Twentieth Century
to Good Crowd.

Col. George French, of San Fran
Southern M. E. Church Monday night
that was full of interest from start
to fnish-full of startling facts.
The speaker was introduced by DR..
his subject vas announced to be The
Salvation Army as the
Century Wonder" He said that the
Army is forty a old and that in
that time it has grown from one II
Ii, 900 commissioned officers. Against
this is given in comparison the
growth of the Methodist Church,
which when fifty years had lapsed af-
ter the death of John Wesley, had
$50 preachers.
The speaker discussed his subject
from the standpoint of it's evangel-
istic work, its social problems and
rescue work. He said that the Army
annually restores to lives of purity
seven thousand fallen girls. 1t annual
ly converts ESQ. 900 people and six
million people attend its meetings eV-
cry night. Their are 81 rescue homes
in the United States alone.
The industrial branch of the Army
last year saved 100000 worth of
waste paper, waste clothing and 9th
er waste materialss. They give work
to many unemployed people in col
iecting this material and then spend
the money saved thereby on the poor.
Major Morton added to the interest
of the service with vocal solos.
Col. French and Major Morton left
yesterday on the auto for Torrance,
from where they go to Ell Paso and
then to Deming, to open a new Sal
Hall that will go into use free
from debt.

Leslie M. Long. a civil engineer who
N established a COW ranch ten
miles west of town, was the man to

summer. He noted that just north
of the narrow crooked bed of the Rio
CDeep River) was an immense
hole, rather fiat and spreading than
deep, and that nature had evidently
intended it for a lake, but had eve
supplied the waite to complete the
plan. He noted further that the
depth of the lake could be greatly in
by filling in the gaps between
the complete circle of low hills bord-
ering the huge bowl that a been
scooped out either in the creation or
formative periods. With these gaps
filed mi with an inlet and an outlet
canal from the Hondo river, Mr.. Leslie
reasoned that he would have a re
ceptacle that would hold thousands of
acre-feet of water that could be held
as long as desirable and released at
times when the Rio Hondo is dry.
