SCHOOL OF MINES STUDENTS
Listen to an Interesting Address
On Eastern Countries by John
K. Packard.

The faculty and students of
the School of Mines enjoyed a
rare treat Thursday morning in
the form of an address by John
h. Packard of Greenville, Penn
sylvania, who has been in the
city few days as guest in the
home of his cousin, DIR. c. G..
Duncan. Mr.. Packard is on his
way for a tour of the far east.
He has made such tour two or
three times before, and it was at
President h. p. Mobiles invita-
tion that he consented to talk to
the students of the School of
Mines on matters of special in
terest that had attracted his at
tention in far eastern lands.
Mr.. Packard talked for fortv-fve
minutes, and it is putting it
mildly to say that what he said
was interesting and instructive
from beginning to end. He COM
manded the very closest of atten-
tion while he talked of the won
ders of Egypt, IIindoostan, China
and Japan, and everybody pres
ent was sorry that the address
was no longer. If Mr.. Packard
ever visits Socorro again, he may
be sure of an urgent call for an
address before the faculty and
students of the School of Mines.

Cheer as the Water Starts on Its
Mission of Fertilizing
10000 Acres.

The following account of the
c ompletlon of the first step to-
ward the completion of one oi Inc
greatest, il not the very greatest,
irrigation project that tnv gov

taken from an article IN tue Ell
Paso Evening News Ui Thurs
day:
Almost 1000 people, reple-
seuting FL Pdso, Mesilla Park,
Las Cruces, Dona Ana and out
lying districts of the upper Rio
Grande valley, stood on the
Rocky heights about the head
gates of the Leasburg diversion
uam at Selden, N. M, yesterday
afternoon at 3:05 o'clock with
bowed heads when the center
gate was lifted and the fertile
waters of the river were turned
loose to bring life for the spring
crops on the 10000 acres oil land
in the MeSilla valley. Cheers
tent the air as Felix Martinez
and II. b. Holt, representing the
Ell PaSo and Las Cruces Water
Users associations, gave the sig
nal TO open the gates.
The waters were turned into

following addresses by President
II. b. Holt of the Elephant Butte
Water Users association, Felix
Martinez, secretary and chairman
of the executive committee of the
Ell Paso association, h. l.. Young,
former vice-president OF the Las
Cruces association, and Judge
James Harper of this city.
"Over 200 representative citi-
zens of FL Paso, 100 students and
citizens of Mesilla Park, 500 citi-
zens of Las Cruces and 100 from
Dona Ana sat down to a mid
winter picnic on the banks of the
rlver at the site of the new dam
shortly after the noon hour. The
train which hauled the crowd to
Selden completely filled six cars
on the special and it was neces-
sary to make second trip for
the Dona Ana delegation. This
delayed the program at the dam
site little, but the time was en-
joyably spent. 1t seemed that
the whole town of Las Cruces
turned out and Mesilla Park was
depopulated. The day was ideal
and no enterprise in the south
west has been launched under
more auspicious circumstances
than the inauguration of the first
work on the great irrigation pro-
iect of the Rio Grande."

HE ASKS CONGRESSMEN
To Visit New Mexico and See
for Themselves What the
Conditions Here Are,
SOL LUNA GIVES BIG BOOST
For the Territory, Showing the
Wonderful Progress That 1t
Has Recently Made.

National Committeeman Solo
mon Luna, who is now in Wash
iugton with the New Mexico del
egation, in an interview in the
Washington Post is quoted as
follows:
We hope that not only the
territorial committees of the two
Houses of Congress will visit
New Mexico next fall, but that
the Speaker will designate other
members of Congress to go, so
that they can see what wonder
ful progress the territory has
made" said Solomon Luna, Re-
publican national committeeman
of that territory, at the Willard
last night. No one who is not
familiar with the conditions pre-
vailing in New Mexico can APP
preciate the great strides that
we have made in the last twenty
months. In that time $4,000
homesteaders have taken up
claims and As banks have been
established. That there has not
been a single failure in the terri
tory we think is good evidence of
the solid condition of our finances.
We have now 100000 popula-
tion, and by the time the Con-
greSsional committee reaches our
boundaries there will be 500, 900.
This seems an eXtravagant state
inent, perhaps, but if the people
continue to pour in as they are
at this time, we shall easily
reach that figure. They are COM
ing into the territory from all
over the country, but principally
fr@m the neixhboring states of
Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma.

CURRY FOR THE SENATE
Nominated for Exalted Position
by Hon, Solomon Luna at
Banquet in Washington,
UNANIMOUS FOR STATEHOOD
Congressman Mondell Says That
Will Be the Attitude of Con-
gress Next Session.

The following gratifying spe-
cial dispatch from Washington
under date of February II APP
peared in Wednesdays issue of
the Albuquerque Morning Jour-
nal:
Last governor of the terri
tory and first senator from the
new state of New Mexico" is the
way Solomon Luna last night in
troduced Governor George Curry
at the banquet given at the New
Willard hotel by the New Mexico
contingent in Washington. The
banquet was rather notable af-
fair, among those present being
Secretary Loeb, Commissioner
Ballinger of the land office; Di-
rector Newell of the reclamation
service; Congressman Mondell of
Wyoming; Solicitor General
Hoyt of the department of JUS
tice; Special Agent Holcombe of
the interior department; Solomon
Luna, II. y. Bursum, {. M. Carr,
Mark Thompson and many other
New Mexico people.
Among many interesting
speeches was that of Congress-
man Mondell of Wyoming, who
declared that he could as
sure unanimous support for the
New Mexico statehood bill at the
next session of congress. The bill
making an appropriation for the
Sixteenth National Irrigation
congress will undoubtedly pass.
The bill confirming the sales of
territorial lands will be favora-
bly, reported from the house COM
mittee and will probably lie
passed this week"

FOR EXHIBIT OF GRAPES
Attorney w. A. Fleming Jones of
Las Cruces Offers a Hand
some Trophy.

Attorney w. A. Fleming Jones
of Las Cruces has offered a tro-
ply in the form of handsome
silver cup for the best individual
exhibit of grapes at the Sixteenth
National Irrigation Congress and
Industrial exposition to be held
in Albuquerque next fall. 1t is
very appropriate that such a tro-
ply should be offered to vineyard
growers in New Mexico, for grape
culture in the Rio Grande valley,
especially, has already reached
an advanced stage.

MRS. BROWN ENTERTAlNs
Large Number of Her Friends Ac.
cept Invitation to st. Valentine
Party.

At her beautiful home in the
eastern part of the city Mrs. G..
T. Brown yesterday afternoon
gave a St. Valentine party that
proved to be one of the most
largely attended and enjoyable
social entertainments of the sea-
son. The large number of invi-
tations sent out were very gener-
ally accepted.
While Mrs. Browns entertain
ment was suggestive in all its
appointments of st. Valentines
day, it was a combined five hun
dred and thimble party. OF
those who played five hundred,
Mrs. II. F. Bowman won six out
Of seven games and was awarded
the first prize, a gold bowlcd
School OF Mines souvenir
spoon. Mrs. John Green
wald, Sr., and Miss Laura
Winkler cut for the consolation
prize, and Mrs. Greenwald won
potted red cyclamen in full
bloom. A feature of the enter
tainment of the thimble party
was a missing word contest,
which was greatly enjoyed.
Mrs. X. V. Smith succeeded in
placing the greatest number OF
the missing words and for her
skill was awarded a gold bowled
School of Mines souvenir spoon.
Mrs. M. Cooney was awarded the
consolation prize, potted pink
cyclamen in full bloom.
Refreshments we're served in
two courses, to the thimble par
ty at one large table decorated
with carnations and asparagus
ferns, and to the five hundred
party at six small tables where
the appointments were all sug-
gestive of the day and saint. 1t
need not be said that this fea-
ture of the entertainment, like
all the others, was abundantly
enjoyed.
The hostess was assisted by
Misses Anna and Bertha Hilton.

Commemorate Lincoln's Birthday.

Lincoln's birthday was very
pleasantly commemorated at the
public school building Wednes-
day afternoon. Teachers, pupils
and a considerable number of
visitors took part in the exercises
or we're present to enjoy them.
There were addresses, patriotic
songs, and the flag salute. Among
those who spoke to the pupils
was Judge w. f. Kelley, who not
only made a good address but
followed it with a handsome gift
of the Life of Abraham Lincoln,
in nine volumes. to the public
school library. The bestowal of
the gift was heartily applauded
by pupils and visitors.

District Attorneys Trouble.

About the middle of last
month the Advocate gave an ac-
count of how a man giving his
name as T. II. Mills and II. IL.
Hall worked District Attorney
II. A. Wolford to the tune of $50
and how Mills or Hall gave his
victim the slip in Ell Paso. Since
that time Mr.. Wolford has had
the territorial rangers quietly
working on the case. Yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Wolford received
a dispatch from Captain Fornoff
saying that Ranger Dudley had
run the man down and that lie
was in Jail at Douglas, Arizona,
waiting action on the part of Mr..
Wolford. At Douglas, Mills or
Hall assumed the name of Man
denhall. Mr.. Wolford will take
immediate steps to have this man
of many names brought back to
Hillsboro. Ar. Wolford located
Mills baggage at Santa Rosa
some time ago, but failed to To-
cate the man. As Ranger Dud-
ley is personally acquainted with
Mills there is little possibility of
there being any mistake in the
matter. Captain Fornoff and
Ranger Dudley deserve much
credit for the successful capture
of Mr.. Mills-Hall-M l-Mandenhall. -

Try to Kill Americans.

An attempt to kill every Amer
ican at the Santa Rosa mine in
Sonora, Mexico. was made last
Saturday by Mexican employees
in the mine. Sticks of dynamite
were placed under the general
boarding house, the company
store, and the fOreman's and SUI
perintendent's residence. The
explosion at the boarding house
occurred when all the Americans
we're at dinner. Fifteen men
were blown through the roof, a
number sustaining broken arm
and legs, but none were killed.

GOOD FOREST RANGES
Government to Determine How
Rages Damaged by 0vergrazing
May Be Restored.
BY EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS
The Methods of Restoring Grasses
and Handling Stock Will Be
Considered.

ne government mas pidn0eO
a series of scientific reseeding ex-
perlments ON several of the ma
tional forest ranges next spring
and summer TO determine under
what conditions and in what
manner those portions of the
range which have been seriously
damaged by overgrazlng may be
restored to their former product
iveness.
A great deal of the range land
in the west is overgrazed and
does not carry as much stock as
formerly. The method OF hand
ling stock, particularly sheep. is
perhaps more responsible Tor this
condition than any other cause.
But all causes OF deterioration
and all means for improving the
forage crop need to he studied,
that the range may be brought
into the best condition to meet
the imperative demand of the
live stock industry.
The plan is to establish expert
mental stations in several parts
of the country. Probably not
more than six will be tried at
first, but they will be so located
as to secure typical conditions.
The experiments will be begun
on small scale, on five or six
acre tracts. Both native and
wild grasses will De tried, but IL
is believed that the plan of en-
couraging native grasses will
meet with greater success than
the introduction of cultivated
species, at least in the Rocky
mountain region. In the coast
ranges, with their greater rain
fall, cultivated grasses are more
likely to play an important part
in range development.
The ranges of the northwest
have not been SO seriously dam
aged by overgrazing as those of
the southwest, perhaps because
OF superior moisture conditions of
the northern part of the country.
1t is fact, however, that none
of the ranges support the stock
which they did formerly, and re-
seeding experiments will there
fore be undertaken in this sec
tiou of the country also.
The method of handling stock
is also to be considered. Every
stockman knows that stock do not
waste as much feed when unre-
stricted in their movements as
when close herded. An expert
mental pasture was enclosed last
summer in the Imnaha national
forest in Oregon, which will be a
model for others next season. In
this pasture sheep were turned
loose without a herder, TO shift
for themselves. 1t is too soon to
draw positive conclusions from
this experiment, but the sheep
did we'll, and there was a decided
lessening in the loss of forage
through trampling. 1t looks as
though given area of ground
can be made to carry a very
much larger number of animals
when they are allowed to Craze
free, than when close herded.
This fact, if established, will be
of decided importance to stock
men.
