VREELAND CURRENCY
BILL WILL PASS
At Caucus OF Senate and House Lead.
ers Decision is Ar
rived at.

Washington, April ga confer
ence on currency legislation was held
yesterday between the House and
Senate leaders, and was attended by
Speaker Cannon and Senator Aldrich
The judgment of the conference was
that the program lately decided or
can be put through. This program
calls for a caucus of the members OF
the Republican side of the House. In
all probability next week, or the week
following to determine the passage Of
a bill creating commission to investi
gate thoroughly the currency subject
and the financial situation of the coun
try in general and report on remedial
legislation at the next session of Con
gress.
It Is further the desire of the House
Republican leaders to put through the
Vreeland bill, which embodies what
the Aldrch bill and eliminates the
provisions to which most objection has
been made. All that the Senate lead
ers ask of the House leaders is to en-
act some piece of financial Legislation
so that the Senate will have a mea
sure to use as working basis, al
though all thought of enacting the Aid
rich bill in the form In which it passed
the Senate has been abandoned.
The program is then to have the
Senate strike out everything after the
|enacting clause in the House bill ant
insert the Aldrich bill. This will have
the effect of throwing the amended bill
into conference, and care will be ex
ercised In both the Senate and thu
House to appoint as conferees mem
bers who favor some legislation at thi'
session. 1t will be the task of the con
ference to patch up from the Aldricl
bill and Vreeland bill and the commits
sion bill. a modified act embodyin!
such provisions as the leaders fee
sure of putting through the TIVE
Houses.

LARGE NAVY IS
EXPENSIVE LUXURY
Completion Of Warships Only the Be-
gnning--vast Sums Required to
Keep Them in Repair.

Washington, April 23--When consid-
Grafton of the naval appropriation bill
was resumed in the Senate yesterday
Mr. Hale, referring to publication
in "a New York paper" which, he
said, announced war outside and inside
the Senate, explained why an appro-
priation for two new battleships and
submarines had not been placed In the
bill either in the house or senate. The
House, he said, voted the appropria-
tion down on the ground that
liz would not be needed until next De-
cember, and the Senate committee had
not placed 1t In the bill because no
estimate Of the amount that could be
expended had been received from the
department. Since the bill was report.
ed, he said, the estimates, amounting
to $7000,000 had been received and he
would add that amount as an amend.
ment to the bill. thus increasing to
that extent the already heavy appro.
prlations for the navy.
Il say this" added Senator Hale
sin order that senators and newspa.
lper men and all others may possess
their souls in peace"
Answering the inquiry of Mr.. Clay
Senator Hale said 1t was necessary to
begin to repair the vessels almost as
soon as they are afloat. When repairs
reach the original cost, he added. "it is
discovered a vessel is obsolete"
Mr. Hale said he had recently been
talking with Sir William White
formerly head of the British admiralty
who had stated that the United States
has the finest fleet in the world and
that the excellency of our navy is due
to the fact that we waited to build
ships while Great Britain spent hun
dreds of millions OF dollars upon ships
that have become obsolete.
The ships you have are the best
of their kind he told me- said Mr.
Hale. But you will find Just as we
have found that the expense of great
navy only begins when you have built
the ships

Pending Appeals.

Washington. April 23.-Seyeral cas-.
'es of importance were decided yes

Commission. Rates on cotton piece
GOODS from the Atlantic seaboard to
Wichita, Kansas, were ordered to be
reduced to not exceeding $1.25 per

son and Larimer Dry Goods company
and others against the Santa Fe rail.
way and 1877 other carriers. This de.
cisiOn recognizes a differential of 81
cents against Wichita. It was held
further that the present rate on knit
goods from Atlantic seaboard terri.
tory to Wichita via Galveston
81 .65 IL per hundred pounds--is not
unreasonable.
The important and long standing
case of the Cattle Raisers' association
of Texas against the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railway and fifty-seven 9TH
er carriers was disposed of on substan-
TALLY the conclusions announced by
the commission in the case on August
l6, 1906. Those conclusions are af-
firmed and the rates then pronounced
excessive are held yet to be excessive
and unreasonable.
The rates on live stock prescribed
to Chicago from the southwest are
held to be sufficient to carry deliv-
cry at the Union stock yards and the
imposition Of any terminal charge in
excess Of 81 is declared unreasonable.
In this case, Chairman Knapp filed a
dissenting opinion.

FINE UNDERFLOW
IN LUNA COUNTY
Abundant Water Supply Found Near
Surface Will Make That Section
Great Farming Community.

Territorial Land Commissioner Ro-
bert P. Ervien who has just return
ed from a few days official visit to
Deming and other points in Luna coun'
ty, in an interview with New Mexi-
can reporter yesterday said that there
is nothing the matter with the section
of the territory he visited. The lands
around Deming are being taken up
rapidly by actual settlers from the
states, who are going there with the
Intention Of farming on an extensive
scale and they are the class of people
who understand how to work the land
and make it the most productive in
New Mexico.
The water question in the vicinity OF
Deming has been settled. An under
flow at depth Of from four to ninety
feet has been discovevered and the
water is of the finest kind. This under
flow is similar to the water supply in
the vicinity of Garden City, Kansas.
and the supply seems to be just as
strong. A party from Garden City has
put in WELL which is twenty-five feet
deep. This we'll was tested while MIR.
Ervien was at Deming. A large centri-
fugal pump was used in the test and
at the rate of 1000 gallons per minute
for several hours the flow was not low
cred single inch.
The same parties also tested anoth.
er we'll, which is 100 feet long, ten
feet wide and about twenty-five feet
deep. In this we'll a thirty-inch centri.
Ifugal pump was used but the flow was
not reduced particle
Mr.. Ervien says that these parties
from Garden City, Kansas, are the
same who discovered the underfow OF
water in Kansas and originated irri-
cation in the vicinity Of Garden City
by means of wells similar to the ones
now being tested at Deming.
The settlers in the vicinity OF Dem.
ing are jubllant over the lucky strike
,of water and in the opinion Of Mr..
Ervien, Luna county can be made as
productive as the Pecos Valley.
After the underfow water irrigation
system has been established the farm
ers of Luna county are assured of ex-
cellent crops and they never need fear
crop failures.
The lands in Luna county are adapt.
! ed for the raising of all kinds Of fruits.
grasses, cereals and almost anything
! else. The soil is rich, free from rock
and is easy to handle. Mr.. Ervien
thinks that Luna county with all these
advantages Is one Of the most desir.
able sections of the Southwest for a
man who intends to locate on farm
and make his home in the territory.
Mr.. Ervien brought back with him
several large pictures showing the
pumps at work and the size Of the
stream thrown by means of these
pumps. The power used in pumping
lis gasoline engine, which is said to
/, be the cheapest power. The land com.
missioner has these photographs on
display at his Office in the Capitol and
he is deslrous for all those who wish
to see them to call at his Office Els.
ipecially to those who are seeking land
Mr. Ervien would like to show the pic
