MUCH WORK.
Superintendent Of Irrigs fjSn-1
Tells Of Progress in New Mex.co
Developments.

John B. Harper, superintendent OF
irrigation for the Pueblo irrigation sys
TENS, arrived In Santa Fe yesterday
from his home at Durango, and will
remain here for several days attend.
Ing to business in connection with
his work.
As usual, Mr.. Harper is we'll posted
on what is going on In the country
round about. In conversation with a
New Mexican reporter, he said:
Southwest Colorado and northwest
New Mexico are much elated over
prospective developments in railroad
fields. It Is now we'll known that the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
aas been making careful and exten.
sive surveys across western New Mex
leo and into the coal fields about Du.
range.
The final estimates of cost, reports
on the contemplated line, etc., were
completed and sent to headquarters
several weeks ago. Following this
action, the Union Pacific Coal Com
pany, which is the corporation hand.
ling the coal branch Of the Hartman
interests, has, during the past few
days, bought over one million dollars
worth OF coal lanGs near Durango and
Is still buying. AS so per cent of the
purchase price has already been paid
in cash and short time arrangements
made for the balance, the deal may
be considered closed. 1t is virtually
a cash transaction. Now, it seems
hardly conceivable that this company
would tie up so much money in land
that could be of no value to It, unless
1t was intended to construct rail
road to utilize the products.
1T is generally accepted as fact
that the cost of construction and the
surveys of the line have been accept.
ed, and that active construction work
will begin at an early date.
''The Utah Fuel Company, which
handles the coal business on the Gould
lines, has become active in the pur.
chase of coal lands in the Durango
field, having already secured nearly
as much land as the Southern Pacific
people. Both interests are still buy
ing. This proposed road will pass
through western New Mexico and will
be Of vast benefit to the territory
opening up the country and in pro-
viding shipping facilities for products
of all sorts, especially In San Juan
County. 1t means SO much to the
people along the proposed line that
little else Is at present being talked
of.
"The purchase of these coal lands
has brought a big sum of money for
local use, as nearly all OF the property
was owned by residents of Durango
and vicinity, and by local corporations.
The opening of this field, too, will af-
ford employment to many men and
will give new industry to the south
west"
In regard to the Zuni dam project,
Mr.. Harper said:
"The weather has been so severe
this winter that little has been done.
It depends entirely upon the weather
when active work will be again taken
up. 1t seems that there has been
colder weather in the South this win
ter than in the North. However, work
will be prosecuted just as rapidly as
conditions will permit"

an agreement upon the facts at issue
having failed the case was resumed to
day and the taking Of evidence was
commenced. The first witness was
Louis G. Krauthoff of New York, for
merly general counsel for Armour &
Company.
He was placed on the stand to mar
rate his interview with Commissioner
Garfield at Chicago club on April 13
1905, when the packers allege thai
Garfield said certain things, the import
of which was, that If he received the
information for which he asked, the
packers should never be prosecuted
criminally.
Judge Humphreys ruled that II il
was true that the packers had divulged
the evidence against themselves under
pressure from the government II
would be competent to show the nature
of legal advice under which the defend
ants were acting.
Matters Discussed.
The witness described his meeting
with the commissioner as follows:
Charles G.. Dawes. telephoned me
and said that Mr.. Garfield was in the
city and asked If desired to meet him
i said that I would and in company
with Samuel McRoberts, ! called at
Dawes to Garfield.
after some remarks about other
matters, Garfield opened the matter
and it was discussed for nearly two
hours. Garfield stated in formal
way, appertently careful of his lass
luage, substantially this: That the
Martin resolution imposed upon him
the duty of investigating the packing
industry; that in order to do this be
must have access to the books of the
packers. His purpose in coming to
Chicago was to gain this access.
"He said that he had held confer.
ence with the President and others in
respect to the investigation and that
1t was Of very great Importance.
Wanted Fair Investigation.
"He said he was very anxious that
the investigation be fair, exhaus

fulness of the department would be
shown. I knew the powers Of his OF

was no doubt he could compel the in
formation but that If the results of
this submission to his requirements
were to be further newspaper notoriety
and litigation. I would, Of course, con.
test the law.
"He said that the letter of the law
protected my clients. He said his
department was separate from the de-
partment Of justice and must neces.

The Lamar register., 1906-10-17

The first registration days have
already been passed and there are
still many of the voters whose names
are not on the list. Any American
citizen who has been resident OF
Colorado one year, of Prowers coun-
ty 80 days and his home precinct 10
days, is entitled to vote and should
see that his name is on the list. On
Tuesday. October 30, will occur the
noxt registration and that is the last
opportunity you will have to get
your name on the list without TAX
ing witnesses. Visit the polling
place any day and look at the list
and see if your name is on. 1t is i'm
portant as you cannot vote, however
well known you may be to the judges,
unless you are registered previous
to election day.

Why


The democrats want to "clean out
state house" What for? The last
Adams administration left a deficit
of S161, ,000.00; Governor Thomas
had to borrow $4,000 from the
Denver Clearing House to keep the
state institutions from shutting their
doors; the Orman administration had
money to pay off this debt of honor
incurred by Governor Thomas, but
frittered it away in hiring crowd
of useless emptoyes and Especial
counsel" The last two republican
administrations have paid off the de-
ficiencies; they have increased the
receipts Of the land board over $780,
900; they have increased the receipts
of the insurance department over
100000; they have decreased the
administrative expense of pub lie
printing by $4,000; they haye
handled nearly 100 per cent. more
cases in the legal department, at less
than three. quarters of the expense
of the Orman administration. Why
does the state house need cleaning
outY There is only one answer
the democrats want the offices.

orado announcing that the party is
making strictly snti-corporation
campaign this year, and would like
to have each democrat in the state
send in a dollar 1t is signed by
the state chairman, Milton Smith,
attorney for the gas and telephone
trusts. That is certainly the limit,
and they expect the democratic vot-
ers to be ignorant enough to swallow
the statements. We certainly have
a better opinion of the intelligence of
democratic voters than Mr.. Smith
and the demobratic press have and
we believe the dollars they contrib
ute to pay the campaign expenses of
the telephone and gas trusts and the
G. e. s. Railroad will be very limited.
When Alva Adams asked the su-
pleme court to make complete can
vass of the Denver vote two years
ago to vindicate him, Judge Gabbert
offered to do SO if the expense would
be borne equally by Peabody and
Adams. Mr.. Peabody who is half
millionaire offered to pay his half,
but Mr.. Adams, who is several times
millionaire, refused and the court
could not go ahead as their expense
fund had been exhausted. Now
Alva is out again for his vindication
and refuses to put up penny, but
wants the democratic voters of the
state to put it up for him. Poor old
millionaire! If he had to pay the
expenses of one OF his twenty odd
campaigns for office, he would die as
poor as Andy Carnegie.

Usual Democratic Consistency

Usual Democratic Consistency
The democratic press is daily fill
ed with attacks upon the supreme
court for its decisions in various cases
which have come before it. Among
them is the Tool case, the one in
which the court took jurisdiction of
the election of two years ago, and
the one which led more than any
other force to the publication of
elections in the state of Colorado,
and to the downfall of tide Big Mitt.
Human memories are short, par
ticulsrly when it comes to politics.
The original suggestion in favor of
the courts taking jurisdiction of
elections in Denver came from Sena-
tor Patterson, in the spring election
of 1904, when he demanded not only
that the governor call out the troops
in the attempt to carry the election
for John Springer, but the supreme
court, clothed with its "kingly pre-
rogative," take jurisdiction of the
election, and see to it that an honest
election was held9 The first person
to actually apply to the supreme
court in 1904 to take Jurisdiction of
the election, appoint court watchers,
and generally supervise the election
was democratic Chairman Milton
Smith, and the lawyer who brought
the petition into court was L. II.
Patterson.
Just think these two things over,
verify them if you wish, by a refer
ence to the files of the News, and
then read some of the abuse that is
being heaped on the court for its
subsequent action.
