DR.. A. Bear, Madison county's repre-

trace of the old time political conven-
lions in the state party meetings at
Lincoln this week. And Dr. Bear, who
has been a familiar figure in nearly
every democratic state convention in
Nebraska for thirty years, rather
missed the old time convention ma
chinery and enthusiasm although he
conceded that the smaller gathering
was more effective working body.
THE new direct primary conven-
tion," remarked DR.. Bear" Is more
suggestive Of small legislative body

inevitable and might improve with age.
There wasn't much president max
ing at Lincoln. But where there is
any considerable gathering of men one
can not help being impressed with the
great strength of Roosevelt. Bryan's
magnetism was in evidence again at
our own convention. But it was gen
orally conceded to be too far ahead

pecial to The New Mexican.

Special to The New Mexican.
Blackrock. May 1O.--The work on
the Zuni River Dam and Reservoir is
pegging along. Dam building to be
permanent Is slow and arduous work,
but 1t looks now as if the end could
be seen.
When the immense dam and great
reservoir here are completed, ditch,
the acequia madre will be put in. This
will be eight miles long and will fur
nish sufficient water for irrigating
about 5000 acres of land which. with
water and proper cultivation will raise
fine crops of cereals and vegetables.
Over one mile Of this proposed acequia
madre will be cut through solid rock.
The arroyos will be crossed by con-
crete inverts thus making the work
and strong enough to stand for many
years. Timber fumes would be very
expensive and would last but com
paratively speaking, short time.
Work would proceed more rapidly
were labor not as scarce as 1t is. The
Indians will work for time and then
rest for a time. They are not perma
nent workers, they come and go, but
the construction is proceeding fairly
we'll
