sITUATIONNOT ALARMING
Up River Points Are Expected TO
suffer Again as They Did Before;
But only Heavy Rains Can Bring
Trouble.
HOW LOCAL MEN LOOK AT IT,

Precipitate rising in the upper
courses of the Ohio river make ii
rather probable that no serious stage
will be reached here under present
conditions. While the rises at Pitts
burg and Cincinnati Indicate con-
siderable volume Of water, unless
that water is reinforced by local
rains the length of the Ohio valley. a
stage as high as in January for this
point seems impossible. The rise in
the upper Ohio has too much the APP
lpearance of squirt which will spread
Itself out before It can reach the low
er half of the river. 1t will require
today's and tomorrow's reports Of
upper river conditions before any
accurate prediction of the probable
stage here can be made.
The river at this point rose only 3
in the last "a hours. The stage this
morning of S1.7 is exactly IA feet
lower than the highest stage reached
lin the January hood-45.7 That
stage was reached January 2S. To
days rise and for the next few days
probably will show greater gains. The
January flood was possible from the
heaviest rainfall all along the valley,
that has been recorded in the ocal
observers office. However, with the
river already well up, a given amount
of water means more now than in
January when the river had to make
a longer climb up the banks.
The government prediction is for
rapid rising in the Ohio river for
the next few days. The cause OF the
flood Is given as heavy rains in the
mountains and tributaries above, and
from melting snow. The unusually
mild winter should make the water
from melting snow less this year and
the excessive rains of the first two
months in the year probably will.
make for only moderate rainfall
throughout the spring. 1t was these
conditions that led some Of the loca.
river men to expect less OF spring
rise than usual
The Cumberland and Tennessee
rivers fortunately at this time are not
rising significantly. The Wabash
shows some indications OF rising and
the most serious aspect is the rising
tendency in the Mississippi river. The
Mississippi river acts like dam on
the Ohio river. A stage of the Ohio
river that would not be serious when
the Mississippi river is low, becomes
dangerous when that river is high,
forcing the Ohio back and holding
the water up. 1t Is probable that the
rising conditions in the Mississippi
river, more than in the Ohio. caused
the river men at Cairo to advise
against the gunboat Wasp coming On
to Paducah.
With fourteen feet to go yet be-
fore the river gets to the highest
stage reached in January. river men
here are not anticipating great incon-
yenience from the floods above. They
say that the rise at Pittsburg. while
phenominal, is too sudden to be last
ing, II it is sustained, a high stage
will be reached here. Already the
river at Cincinnati and Pittsburg is
above the flood stage and may go
higher than 1884 for those cities.
Before the flood reaches Paducah.
provided It Is not swelled by local
rains. It will be harmless.

MARKS ON the monument should be
such that it may be readily distin-
guished from surrouadinE objects. If
metal is used, a section pipe Is prob
ably the most easily obtained. A
piece of old railroad rail may also be
used. The pipe may be three or four
foot length of ordinary wrought iron
pipe a half-inch or more in diameter.
In those ase where the corner comes
on a large boulder or rocky ledge,
prominent marks may be made of the
boulder or ledge. 1t is believed that
there are few places where either
rock or iron pipe are not available
for his use; and SO intense is the
conviction that only such material
should be used, that many persons,
who are so placed as to see b trou-
Bile caused by the use of p~erishable
monuments, would favor legal require
ments looking to the regulating of
this matter.
In the matter of placing the orner
it should be the aim to place them
so that they may be easily found pro-
jecting above the surface of the
ground. If they become buried be-
meath the surface, some mark should
indicate where to dig for them. In
cities where land is so valuable that
the disturbance of the corle by frost
becomes important, the corne should
be buried below frost line. and a
piece of pipe placed on top of it will
give acces to it without digging.

ed with a view of Strengthening the
administration. This has been GUS
tomary since the time of President
Jackson. 1t is perfectly legitimate,
judged by current political standards.
On the other hand, the Bursum,
Frost, Andrews aggregation are out
for results" GoogOoism, silk-stock-
ing doctrines and namby PANTY prac-
tees are not in favor with them. To
be sure we do not believe quite all
that is charged against them in the
matter of alleged populations. 1t could
hardly be all true, and probably isn't.
But making all due allowances, they
are practical. Their motto, if they
nave one. is likely, Cotton onto the

of people Therefore Hagerman must
go. Hagerman went.
We do not wish to be understood
as intimating that the President pre-
fers darkness to light; prefers ma
chine politicians to good men. He
doesn't. He was aware of the cnarac-
ter of the New Mexico machine when
he appointed Hagerman. He would
have been glad to e it smashed. His
political horoscope vas at fault. He
read the fall of the machine in the
stars, and would have the work of
destroying it done by a Roosevelt Re-
publican, not by the Democrats. No
doubt had the gang been destroyed
Roosevelt would nave been more
pleased than he is at this moment.
Had Hagerman triumphed he would
have been feted at Washington, and
Baron Bigstick would lave derived
as much glory from the victory of
his m bearer as the Knight of
La Mancha did from the triumphs of
his faithful squire, Sancho Palza.
The news would lay come forth
that our fearless President had again
scored on the grafters: He saw the
state of affairs in New Mexico, and
appointed as governor a mere boy,
who, acting under advice from Wash
ington, routed the cohorts of corrup.
tiOl," and so or and SO forth.
This would have been nicer than
~kneeling before the altar of the sa-
cred Bull pleading for six delegates
to the national Republican onven

a sacrifice to placate that angry del
ty. But vel Presidents bow to prin-

PROPERTY MONUMENTS.

There are few things that will gen.
crate more bad blood between peo-
pie. who are otherwise of peaceable
disposition, than will a dispute as to
property rights. Instances without
numbe of trouble of this kind can be
recalled by anyone; and in many
cases the cause is not to be found in
dishonest intentions on the part of
the parties concerned. By far the
most prolific source of these troubles
is to be found in inaccurate and in
complete property descriptions, writ
ten by who are incompe-
tent or worse. This incompetency is
rapidly disappearing, owing to the
work of our technical schools, and we
may look for less trouble from this
urc in future surveys; but the past
surveys are a matter of record and
with the errors which they contain,
form many a puzzle extremely diff
cult of solution. Mistakes will occur
as long as man is human; indeed, it
is thought that it will be easier to es-
tablish the universal amity of man
kind, than to establish universe &C
curacy. Any thing tending toward the
ideal in either of these directions is
therefore of general interest.
1t is stated from the State Agricul-
tural college that many of the o
ty disputes can be avoided if more
care is exercised in marking property
corners. Permanently is of the first
Importance. The law does not recog-
nize the right of any surveyor to re-
a lost corner on privately
owned land at any point other than
the one which the original corner oc-
cupied. If this original location can
be determined by witness points or
by the testimony of the parties con-
cerned, well and good; but if all trace
of it be lost, the case is a difficult
one, and any decision which the sur
veyor may make is open to scrutiny
and revision by the courts
1t. therefore, will be see that amy
established for the purpose
of marking land boundaries, should
be of such material and so placed as
to be as permanent as possible. Too
emphasis cannot be laid on this
and money spent to accomplish
end will be well spent. AS to the
for use, stone or metal is
the best. The stone may be either a
piece of natural rock or a mass of
concrete. In either ase the shape OF

A VIEW.

Kansas City Journal (Rep.)
New Mexico is on fire with indig-
nation because of the summary evic-
ton from Office of Governor Herbert
]. Hagerman, the Presidents own ap-
p~ointee, who has been asked to re-
sign.
We do not know wnat the Presi-
dents motives were, or what facts
or alleged facts were put before him,
or who requested MIN to make the
change.
Presumably Governor Hagerma1
has not been suspected of any crime,
for if he had been the President
would have told the world all about
it and turned the machinery of the
Jaw loose to harry the supposed Grim
inal.
Probably the President wanted the
place for his Rough Rider friend in
the Philippines, and therefore created
the al This theory tallies with
all the known facts.
Hagerman is supposed to be a first
class man in every respect. He lives
in New Mexico, and he and his faith
er are to be credited above nearly
all other men with the development
of the eastern part of the Territory.
But who owns New Mexico. any
now? Certainly not the people who
live there.
We all want hons rule for Ireland,
and Finland. and Cuba, but not for
New Mexico and Arizona. They are
mere holes in the national golf
ground into which administrations
may roll their pets.
New Mexicans will do well to save
their newspaper space and their hall
rent, and TAX their medicine.
What doe protest amount to from
those who have already been pro
tested?
The new governor may be as high
toned a man as Governor Hagerman.
and besides, Governor Hagerman
snould nave known better than to
axe office from the President unless
he was willing to take also the frozen
boot when the President got ready
to give 1t.

SUCCESS.

from kansas City star.
The common measurement of sue
cess is material, it must be admitted
but this criterion is less insistent
than is once was. In these day OF
vast fortunes popular admiration for
the capacity that has builded hen
is tempered by contemplation of the
methods of the builder. This distinc-
ton is manifested by the revolt ag-
ainst tainted money. A
tai college or library does not inspire
respect for the founder unless the
founder has merited the success that
has enabled him to give. Material
prosperity is not necessarily a sue
cess. A man may dot a city with sky
scrapers, thus forcing the public to
take note of his possessions, but if
he has made his one by the unfair
use of trust power, by unlawful re
strailts or extortions, or by any other
means that does not give to the CON
petitor equal advantages in the world
of business, that man would better
hide his prosperity than parade it
Obscurity would be better than fame
for such a man-better for him and
better for the community in which
he lives.
The real test of success is what ii
means to the one who makes it. II
is what a man is to the community
in which he lives that counts. And
the man who has o most for others
may have no fortune to leave as a
monument of his services. He may
be an inventor, a physician, a clergy
man, an editor. a scientist or a bust
ness man; but the measure of his
greatness must not be material, even
when material evidences are inciden-
tai.
The world is more discriminating
than it was. 1t has a better under
standing of motives and methods in
politics, in business and in society.
1t is less tolerant of the lawbreaker,
the faker and the hypocrit-especially
of the hypocrit. Along with its wis
dom has come a greater moral as
sertion against the enemies of socie-
ty, be they rich or poor, powerful or
weak.

From Wall Street Journal-
The complete transfmmation of the
Federal Treasury finances in the eur

the monthly circular issued by the
National City Bank for May. The in
dications are that the year will close
with a surplus exceeding $4,000. 900
against estimates of $50, 900, 900 made
by the Secretary of the Treasury at
the beginning of the last session of
Congress. HI surplus of the year.

purpose of providing for the redemp-

is not likely that a large withdrawal

Sooner or later, of course, there
will be another issue of Panama bonds

not be a disturbing factor"

A SKETCH OF ACTING
GOVERNOR RAYNOLDS,

From Santa Fe New Mexican.
Acting Governor James Wallace
Reynolds is a westerner by birth and
thu son of parents who are pioneers
of the Southwest. He was born on
March %, 1873, at Pueblo, Colorado,
then a town which gave little promise
OF it's future greatness. Three years
later the Reynolds family removed to
Las Vegas where Mr.. Reynolds at
tended the public schools. Later he
attended the schools of Canton, Ohio,
the birthplace of his father who was
a close friend and neighbor of the
martyred President William McKin-
ley. From Canton, the young man
went to Boston and there graduated
from the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology with the degree of M. E.
I'm December of the same year he
was united in marriage to Miss
Brownie Baum of Omaha, a union
which has resulted very happily and
has been blessed with three sturdy
boys. Mrs. Reynolds is deservedly
esteemed and popular in local society
circles in which she is a leader. When
George H. Wallace was appointed
secretary of the Territory in 1897,
Mr.. Reynolds, although a very young
man, vas summoned to Santa Fe to
assist il placing the Office of the Sec
rotary OF the Territory On a business
basis. After successfully accomplish
ing the task he returned to Las We
gas where he accepted a position in
the First National Bank. In April,
1901, upon the death of Territorial
Secretary Wallace, Mr.. Reynolds was
to succeed him, and he has
twice re-appointed.
