To HELP WITH
IRRIGATION
CONGRESS
GOVERNOR PROMISES
HEARTY COOPERATION
Believes Entire Territory Is Vi
tally Interested and Should
Assist Albuquerque In Bear
ing the Expense.

Especial Dispatch To The Morning Journal. /
Santa Fe, y. NJ. Nov. 30 lin open
ing the statehood convention here to-
day, Foyernor Curry referred to the
coming irrigation congress in Albu-
querque in a way which showed that
he will do what he can 10 make the
congress territorial affair 10 a large
extent, and also 10 make II success.
The governor said that while IN
Washington he had received num-
ber of kilograms requesting him to
call a special session of the legisla-
ture for the purpose OF making ap-
preparation for this congress. To Sc
cure a special session of the legisla-
ture, the governor said IL would be
necessary 10 get an act authorizing
such a session through congress. He
said this would take Just about as
much work as to pass statehood bill
and he did not think that very FEAST
BILE.
He said, however. that the congress
had come to New Mexico upon his in
vitation as governor of the territory
and through the efforts OF the New
Mexico delegation at Sacramento, and
that he proposed to do everything in
his power TO make IL success. The
congress, he said would be Of great
benefit to the territory, and the small
est part Of this benefit would come To-
cally to Albuquerque. He believed the
entire territory should take part In
bearing the expense OF the congress,
which was too great for any special
community to bear and he said that
he proposed to recommend In his
message TO the Legislature an appro-
priation TO cover in part. az least. the
expense Of the congress. This state
ment will go far towards solving the
problem Of the expense Of the irri-
cation meet

That Gas We'll
At Westhope
l. Grand Success and Minot Will Surely Be Supplied
With Gas From This Well By Means Of Pipe Line,
If 1t Does Not Give Out--Cas Found
at Depth Of 200 Feet

The gas well at Westhope is a
grand success and Minot will surely
be supplied with gas from this we'll,
by means of pipe line, if it does
not give out.
The Independent readers will re
member an account of how gas was
struck on the Parker farm nine miles
south Of Westhope few months ago.
The supply is now under control and
the farm house is being heated and
lighted with gas from that we'll
Neighboring houses are also being
supplied with heat and light. A
we'll drill is on the ground and early
in the spring, work will be started on
a thirteen inch well.
Gas is found in that locality at a
depth Of about 200 feet Two other
gas wells were struck last week.
The whole country is stirred up over
the discovery.

company of Kansas City, is on the
field experimenting the work. He
was in Minot Saturday and it is pos
sible that local capital will be en-
ployed in making a success of the
gas venture. Already $4,000 cubic
feet of gas day is being supplied
with the one we'll. The new company
now has the lease Of 10000 acres in
the Westhope country, and other
wells will be drilled.
The gas well is only fifty miles
north Of Minot, and it would not be
hard to pipe the gas to this city.
The gas well proper will be
drilled twelve or fifteen hundred feet
deep. Gas is usually found near q
coal belt, not hardly ever right in the
coal regions. 1t is believed that the
gas field extends southeast from
Westhope. At Medicine Hat, SasE.,
the whole city is heated and lighted
with gas found near by.
