TO CELEBRATE THE
COMING OF The WATER

New Mexico holors herself in seek
ing to honor the officials of the recla-
nation service. The very proper ex-
preston of appreciation voiced by
the legislature must be gratifying to
these e who have worked nard,
often against very formidable obsta-
cles, to carry out the great reclama-
ton projects along right lines.
Whenever a question has arisen in
connection with the New Mexico re-
clamation work, it has been solved
with reference solely to the interests
OF the masses of people directly con-
ceraed in reimbursing the government
for the amounts advanced. The admin
i~stration of the funds and affairs of
the reclamation services has been a
marvel of economy with efficiency"
All the New Mexico projects referr-
ed to IN h resolutions of thank
presented exceedingly difficult phases
for adjustment Most complicated of
all, of course was the Rio Grande
project. But the Carlsbad project was
also a hard one to handle, from a
business standpoint as well as engin-
eering.
The supervising engineer brought
to both these asks a cry high de
gree of tact as well as technical skill,
and it is not too much to say that
If it had not been for B. NJ. Hall
the Carlsbad project would new
have been undertaken by h govern
ment and that lovely valley would

Alaska reports d-epredations of wolves
the fierce animals killing musk-oxen
for food.
Occasionally a hunting party is able
to run down a wolf, but the animal
are so feet and possessed of such en-
durance that as a rule this method
of hunting them is of no use. The
best way of shooting them is to watch
the trails, which invariably lead away
from or toward the den By hiding
lear he den il the early morning,
before the old wolves have returned
from their nights kill" it is posi-
BILE to get a good shot at them. The
male wolf often does sentry duty il
daytime while the female o es on a
hunt.
The commonest way of destroying
wolves is to enter the den and kill the
pups. There are from eight to eleven
in a litter. They are born il March
or April. A steep south slope is u.s.
ually chosen for the den, preferably
a barren bad land slope, but some
times merely the wall of a rocky canon
or sagebrush hillside, broker by led
ges or strewl with large boulders.
These locations afford good sentry
posts from which the old males can
watch for the approach of enemies.
Trapping wolves requires the great
est skill and most thorough knowledge
of wolf character. The utmost care
must be used in handling traps n
the bait, as the wolf has the keenest
sense of smell of any animal, and
seems to know when any thing has
been manhandled.
Poisoning wolves is generally prac-
ticed, but this means is not followed
by men who make wolf hunting a bus
mess, for the reason that 40 poison
has been found which will act at once
The wolf has time to run away n
die in some out-of the way place,
where it's body annot be found, thus
losing the wolfer's bounty.
The Western wolfer is a picturesque
character dead shot, and accustom
ed to life in the open For months
he does not see a human being, yet
he fnds great pleasure in his strange
calling. Days when ne does not set
traps or hunt wolf dens. he spends in
curing wolf skins at which he is an
expert. No doubt the men who fol-
low this s%trangest of trades will find
employment for many years to come
as the wolf is proving by no means
easy to observation-disclosures Repub-

THE SOURCE OF AMERICAN
POLITICAL CORRUPTION.
Kansas City Star.

hdISdS lily OldI.
The source of political corruption
IN American politics can easily be
traced to the carelessness and indiffer
elces of the people regarding political
affairs. In no other responsibility of
life are the people so negligent as in
the very important matter of govern
ment. a relation which should appeal
to them from moral. patriotic and
material reasons. The foundation OF
representative government is based on
the theory hat the people will actual
~ control politics. and yet but few
mel among the masses know how
the political affairs of their state
are conducted. They leave the duty
of shaping public policies of the
greatest moment to a few profession
al politicians whose interest in pub
lie matters is limited to their own
financial profit
