Iha' it was not independent The

To make the ~treacherous Rio

ing the valley farmers and others
from its own wild moods is the inter-
esting and practical suggestion made
by a prominent merchant and farmer
of q Antonio, \. NJ, who is deeply
interested in the future of the Rio
Graude valley. In a letter to the
Morning Journal he says:
If Albuquerque should be fortunate
enough to secure $4,000 from the Rio
Grandc fund for your dixie. would
like to suggest hat YOU figure ON
raising all the low land behind dixie
that is subject to overflow by silt
from the river, carried through a
long ditch with a sPillWay for ro-
turning the clear water to the river
at the lowest end of the area en-
closed by the dixie.

be 10 utilize the silt from the river to
raise all such land higher than the
bed of the river and convert them
from unproduCtiVe, nun-taX produc-
ing holdings, into productive and vail
liable lands.
