COTTON AND OTHER CROPS
UNDER CARLSBAD PROJECT.

Carlsbad, N. M, July 1.-THE
Carlsbad cotton crop will be a good
one this year. According to Superin-
tendent of Water Service Forster of
the Reclamation Service there are
over LOO acres in cotton under the
Carlsbad project. The big Hagerman
farm, which has it's own irrigation
system, has three hundred acres, and
there are a few other scattering crops
in the vicinity. F. G. Tracy, who in
troduced cotton planting into the
valley, has examined the crops on
nearly all the farms, and says the
output this year should be at least
1000 bales. Cotton has been raised
at Carlsbad for only a short time, it
being supposed for years that it was
impossible to produce it.
The headgates and spillways at the
great Avalon dam were tested a few
days ago by Chief Engineer Reed of
the Reclamation Service. Everything
was found in ship-shape, and there
are now one thousand acre feet of
water in the reservoir. All fear of a

MR.. BRYAN
IS PRAISED

Fairview, Uincoln) Neb., July IS
VIM. J. Bryan's speech of last night
to the members of the Central Labor
Union of Lincoln, in which he empha-
sized the labor plank in the Denver
platform, resulted in the receipt by
him today of a large number of tele-
grams from labor leaders all over the
country, congratulating him on his
utterances.
A dispatch from Erie, Pa, quoting g
Samuel GomperS as denying that he
sent cablegram to Hearst which re-
suited in the latter's denouncing the
Democratic party, attracted consider
able attention at Fairview. There is
no disposition to question Gompers'
statement, but on the contrary have
every reason to believe it. An inquiry
has already been set on foot to as
certain if possible the author of the
cablegram credited to Gompers.
1t is probable that Mr.. Bryan on
the way from here to Chicago next
Friday will deliver several addresses
from the train, the first of which will
be at Omaha. He has refused the ten
der of a special train and will travel
as an ordinary passenger.
The organization of negro Demo
cratic clubs in the states of Indiana,
Ohio and Illinois formed the subject
of conversation today between MIR.
Bryan and Don Farnsworth of Chica-
go. A we'll directed effort is to be
made by the Democrats to secure
large negro vote in the middle West,
and Farnsworth's visit was the result
of suggestions made to him by Dem
ocratic leaders in Denver. The usual
flood of visitors called on Mr.. Bryan

WATER COMMISSION WANTS
CURB-LlNE ESTABLISHED.

At meeting of the Roswell Water
Works Commission, held last night
in the city council chamber, it was
decided to recommend to the city
council an ordinance providing for
the establishment Of a universal curb
line in the city, to be followed in set
ting fire plugs and other piping while
putting in the sewer and water sys-
tens. The provision is one for the fu-
ture, which will be appreciated more
in the years to come. The Commission
allowed a warrant for Burns & Nc
Donnen, the engineers, as part pay
ment for their services as engineers.
X. K. Scott was allowed $3.50 for MS
services as attorney, the commission
being unanimous in their opinion that
he had earned twice that amount. 1t
was decided that the chairman of the
commission, John w. Poe, be empow-
cred to pay freight and other emerg-
ency bills, and report to the commits
sion at the next regular meeting.

A Pleasant Surprise.

About rs members of the Methodist
Episcopal church gathered at the res
idence of Mrs. K. Mckay near their
church last evening, and after the
choir practice was over in the church
marched in, followed by the pastor,
Rev. c. F. Lucas, who called them TO
order and stated that it was the
25th anniversary of Brother and Sis
ter J. E. Henderson. 1t then began
to dawn upon them what the meeting
meant. The pastor made a short talk
on the love and fellowship of the
church and the esteem they had for
Mr.. and Mrs. Henderson, and present
ed them with a $1,000 set of spoons.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henderson made charac-
teristic soul-moving responses, and
the members marched by the altar,
each giving them a hearty handshake
and a good wish. After a social hour
refreshments were served and the
happy people went home.

Mr.. Kennedy's new project is a
railroad from Altus, Oklahoma, to
Ell Paso, Texas. Its official designation
is the Altus, Roswell and Ell Paso
road. Its length will be 24O miles. Be
sides traversing rich and rapidly
developing country, it will have the
additional merit of shortening the
rail route from Ell Paso to Oklahoma
107 miles.
The Wichita Northwestern the
Orient and the Frisco roads are now
at Altus, and when the proposed new
line is completed Ell Paso will thus
be connected up with these additional
trunk lines.
That the new road has something
more than paper existence is shown
by Mr.. kennedy's statements that the
first sixty miles out of Altus is COW
cred by contracts for construction
and As miles of the grade is nearly
completed Track laying is to begin
November first.
Mr.. kennedy's presence in Hous-
ton at this time is to purchase pile
drivers, ties and timber for the bridge
over Salt Fork, four miles west of
Altus, which is to be 1850 feet in
length. Mr.. Kennedy gives assur-
ances that his financial arrangements
for carrying the project forward to
completion are entirely satisfactory
When asked by the Post reporter how
he accomplished the rather difficult
feat of successfully promoting so
large an enterprise so soon after the
late stringency, Mr.. Kennedy explain
ed that he carried his own capital
with him on his own person, and by
riding mule over the route and COM
ing in personal contact with the peo-
pie and business element whom he
interested he secured donations suffi-
cient to start upon a successful basis.
Since the work has begun two trunk
lines have become competitors for
the purchase or lease of the road as
it is finished
Associated with Mr.. Kennedy are a
of strong business men in
Oklahoma. The company includes
Mr. Kennedy as president, Cagoe
Beach, banker of Altus, as vice
president; VIII Atkins of Altus, sec
ond vice president, and Edgar Chap
man as secretary.
This is not Mr.. Kennedy's first ex-
plot as a railroad builder At one
time he was connected with the
Northern Pacific construction work,
and 1t was he who promoted and built
the Beaumont, Sour Lake and West
ern road, which was later sold and
became part of the Frisco system.

ON CONDITIONS
IN CENTRAL AMERICA

Oyster Bay, July 18.-A conference
having, it is believed, an important
bearing on the serious conditions ex-

ent outlay is a trivial sum.
The U. S. Bureau of Animal Indus
try, as well as the New Mexico Sheep
Sanitary Board, feel greatly encour-
aged that this years dipping may sue
cessfully eradicate sheep scab from
New Mexico, and that the Federal
quarantine may be raised In the near
future. This would permit New Mex
leo sheep to move interstate as free
and without restrictions, which would
greatly increase their value and de-
mand in the eastern markets. This
cannot be hoped for unless the dip
ping this year is most thoroughly
done, and to do this will necessitate
the thorough and hearty cooperation
of all sheep owners.

EIGHT INJURED IN ELEVATED
RAILROAD ACCIDENT

Chicago, July 1S.-Eight persons
were severely injured, and a number
of others suffered minor injuries, in
an accident on the elevated railroad
at Stony Island avenue and 63rd st.
today. A train of three cars crashed
against the bumpers at the terminus,
tearing loose the front trucks of the
motor car and allowing the car to
slide over the bumpers ten feet. The
accident is believed to have been due
to failure of the brakes to work.

SHEEP MUST
BE DIPPED

The New Mexico Sneep Sanitary
Board has again issued a general
sheep dipping order. According to
this order the dipping should nave
been begun July first, but on account
of the extreme drought that then pre-
vailed over this district of the terri
tory the order was not sent out and
the work was postponed until condi-
uOns became more favorable. Since
we have had quite general rains over
this portion of the Territory within
the past two weeks, it has been de-
cided that the work could now be
done without any serious injury to
the sheep in general Therefore the
work is to be started at once.
This work will be done in practi-
cally the same manner it was last
year. All sheep infected with scabies
will have to be dipped twice, with an
interval of ten days between clippings.
All those showing no signs of 1nfec-
tion will be classed as exposed and
dipped once. 1t has been the exper-
fence of the inspectors generally that
more re-infection and distribution OF
infection has come through the
bucks than by any other method.
therefore special attention will be Civ
en- to them by either hand dressing
the severely infected ones or requir-
ing an additional dipping. All corrals
which have contained infected sheep
will have to be burned or torn down
and THOROUGHLY cleaned and dis
infected.
To facilitate this work the Terrific
ry has been divided into eleven dis
tricts, practically the same as it was
last year, with DIR. George A. Lipp
stationed at Roswell, N. NJ, in charge
IL.
is composed of Chaves, Roosevelt and
Eddy counties.
The U. S. Bureau of Animal Indus
try and the New Mexico Sheep SAM
tary Board are doing this work in
conjunction. All the dipping will be
supervised by the Federal inspectors.
Each of the Territorial inspectors
will be provided with team and rig
and their work will consist of notify
ing the owners and men in charge
of the herds when to have their sheep
to the dipping plants so as to keep
them coming in regular order that
there may be no delay in the work.
Besides this they will supervise the
cleaning and disinfecting of corrals.
The Federal government perma-
nently maintains several inspectors
in this district, while the Territory
maintains one. For this special work
five Federal inspectors are already
within the district, and within the
next two weeks at least two more
will arrive. The Territory has at
present three inspectors at work,
and will have one more started with
in a short time.
The plan of work as arranged at
present is to begin the work at one
end of the district and dip all sheep
as the inspectors come to them. In
this way there is no possible chance
of missing any, and all will be sew
ed alike. This will also greatly lessen
the chance for a re-infection, as it
will reduce to a minimum the ming
ling of sheep not dipped with those
already dipped. This special work be-
ing done in these three counties alone
this year will cost the Federal gov
ernment at least $4,000, and the Ter
ritory $1,000. But when we stop to
consider the benefit that will be de-
rived from it in future years this pres

Makes a Retraction.

The Capital News. which has al
ways been extremely vindictive
and abusive of Governor Goodine
during his administration, has
made complete retraction of its
charges of graft against the COVER
nor. Here is what it says;
''The Capital News desires at all
times to be fair and just to every
one, and does not intend that any
thing untrue capable of a miscon-
struction shall be published in its
columns to the injury of any per-
son. no matter who sshe may be.
During the past the word graft
was applied to Governor Frank R.
Gooding in the issues of this paper
either in regard to him or to his
administration of public affairs.
The Supreme court has placed a
construction upon that word which
might be construed to mean the
charging of Governor Gooding
with dishonesty, or the making of
private gain by reason of his office,
construction not intended by this
paper or those responsible for it,
