ITo's REFORM PLAN.
Would Get Greater Revenue From
Corea Out of Land.


Toxic, Aug. 29.-An important state
council which was to have been held
today has been postponed until Friday,
owing to the fact that some Of the min
listers and elder statesmen from out of
town have been detained on account Of
the recent food and consequent damages
to the railways. The council has been
specially called to consider Marquis
Ito's plan Of Corean policy, necessitated
by the new relations established by the
last convention between Corea and
Japan.
The details Of Marquis Ito's plans are
unknown, but the fundamental points
are believed to consist in effecting
thorough reform in the land system,
which is now in a chaotic condition,
and also the tablishing Of a new sys-
tenn Of judiciary and police on the jap
anese plan. These measures will
naturally be considerable of drain on
the Japanese treasury. 1t is thought
that Marquis Ito plans to ask an extra
annual outlay of little over 1,000,0
yen for period of five years.

denim the modern methods of some cor
porations IN doing business and charged

modated. A thousand people waited

ing and within 10 minutes Foreman |

)'Gara spoke for half an hour and
oncluded the opening argument for the
'eople In the Glass bribery trial in
he morning. He was followed by T.

nent was, as In the former trial. the

lass with the commission Of the

Wallace-W. E. Herring, Of Wash.
ington, d. c., chief engineer Of the for.
est service, has arrived in Wallace for
the purpose of consulting with the To-
cal forest officers as to the best method
of distributing the $4,000 for improve
ments on the Couer d'Alene forest re-
serve.
Mr.. Herring claims that the govern
ment is spending far more money to
open up the forests and make them &C.
cessible than the different states would
have done. The last congress appro-
priated over $1,000 900 for this purpose,
and this has been distributed among
the different reserves on the basis oil
area, and not on the basis Of the
amount of money received by each
from the government.
with regards to Improvements thai
are being made" said Mr.. Herring,
1--WE have 1000 miles Of telephone,
1000 miles of wagon roads and 2,Ow

w. NJ. Reed, selected as the engi-
1eer to make the plans for the ce-
menting of the irrigation ditcnes of
Roswell, today filed his report with
Chairman E. A. Cahoon, of the board
Of arbitration. The reports consists
of blue prints of the work that is to
be done and a sample contract con-
tanning the specifications that the
successful bidder must sign to get the
job.
The Pierce Cunningham Ballard
ditch is to have a cement bottom and
sides five feet and three inches wide
at the top, three feet and three inches
wide at the bottom, and two feet deep,
with six inches additional to carry
surplus water in time of rain The
Lea Cunningham ditch is to be three
feet wide at the bottom, five feet wide
inches additional to carry surplus
Concrete curbings are to be put in
both on all streets and alleys, from
curb to curb. The bids on the regular
work and crossings are to be made
separately, however.
The blue prints show that the
Pierce ditch will nave to be cut slight
b almost from end to end, the deep,
est cut being about foot and third
and averaging several inches. The
Dea-Cun1ingham ditch will have to
be filled almost as much as the other
will have to be cut. The heaviest fill
in the latter diten, however, is not
over foot. The cemented bitches
will be much smaller than the pres
ent ones and will carry the water at
a rapid rate, as it will be on a certain
grade from end to end
The plans will be made in duplicate
at once in order to let each bidder
have copy, and advertisements will
soon be published for bids.

A Communication.


Editor Record The article in
yesterdays Daily Record relating to
the Morgan-Watters contest case is sc
garbled and misleading that 1 will ask
of you space enough to state briefly
the true facts in the case, and the
six "other lawyers" will certify to
their truthfulness. Mr. Waters came
out here about two years ago from
West Liberty, Iowa, and bought thru
the Tallmadge immigration Co., in
good faith, the north half of section
15-13-25, paying something like $4,000
for it. He tnen proceeded to develop
the land, boring an artesian well,
fencing the tract and blowing and
planting about 100 acres of it. After
Mr.. Walters had taken possession of
the land a contest was filed against
it in the name of c. Walter Morgan
(who, when he made his filing, said
his name was Charles w. Morgan)
and E. J. Carlin and A. j. Nisbet ap-
peared as attorneys for Morgan. The
case came to a hearing before the
put in an appearance and could not
be located at all, his attorneys, Mis-
bet and CarliI, saying that they did
not know his whereabouts.
Defendant Waters wanted Morgan
present to get his testimony, but
couldn't get him. But the case was
heard, and both Mr.. Leland and Mr..
Geyer ruled, on motion of defendant S
attorneys, that plaintiff had MADE
NO CASE, and the case was dismiss
ed then and there.
1t was appealed by Carlin & Mis-
bet to the Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office, and by him remand
ed for further hearing. Upon that
hearing, tho no further testimony had
been adduced for plaintiff, Morgan
again failing to appear, his attorneys,
Carlin & Nisbet, appearing for him,
the finding was for plaintiff. and was
appealed by defendant, and finding
then by Commissioner was for plaint-
if, the Secretary of the Interior nev-
er having decided the case at all.
ABDUL JWO IilOuJHS ago "dJISIS DlSu
REIMBURSEMENT of the entry and
made application to enter the land,
subject of course to Morgan's prefer
ence right. On August 9th, Morgan
appeared under the name of Charles
w. Morgan and made desert land en-
try of the land. At the time Walters
filed his REIMBURSEMENT of the land
ne also filed an affidavit attacking
Morgan's preference right, alleging
that Morgan was not resident of
New Mexico, that Carlin, Nisbet. Wal
lace Stevens and several others had
entered into conspiracy to defraud
MIN, Waters, out of his land, that
the contest was collusive, speculative,
etc. This contest is now pending ag-
ainst these people, and of course will
be heard and decided in due time.
Morgan has gone, but he didn't take
the land.
