PROPOSED LA JARA
RESERVOIR PURCHASE

In view of the call of the La
.Jara Board of Trade in last weeks
Chronicle for IA meeting of the
farmers of this vicinity to con-
slider the purchase of the La Jara
reservoir, either by forming an
irrigation district or by direct pur-
chase, we wish to state that it
behooves every land owner in this
district to carefully consider every
side of this most important ques-
tion before taking action one way
or the other. The Chronicle will
make thorough investigation of
the merits OF the scheme and will
give the farmers the benefit of its
findings. In the meanwhile, let us
see what the proposition of the
promoters may be.
The same caution should be ex-
ercised in regard to the drainage
scheme of w. O. Mieir ct al. That
too, should indeed be carfully con-
sidered and The Chronicle will
have considerable light to throw
upon the proposition as soon as we
complete the investigation now
being made.

Louisiana furnished Zachary

The Flag.

Like the. grass swayed to and fro

Like long tresses tumbling down
Ripping up from foot to crown,
Like pillows rolling on the ocean,

And now swell wide against the tide
That floats it's straining canopy:
Like smoke it wreathes in rills, and
breathes
It's faintirg blaze into the haze,
And slowly palpitateS until

a national surplus of over $210,000, 900
over and above all liabilities on current
appropriations, and so it does not APP
pear that the treasury is not in a very
bad condition. -Four more years of
such deficits would not wipe out the
treasury surplus.
If the custom receipts had been as
large as they were the year before

ceipts fell off Sc, 900, 900 which indicates
either that we are making more goods
for internal consumption which were
formerly produced abroad or that the
high-prced luxuries have been less in
demand. and this is probably the prin-
cipal reason for the decrease. The loss
in internal revenue shows that less

When the chief items are examined
which caused the deficit there is still
less reason to be alarmed We spent

Fernald had been before the Republic

dusty streets to cheer his name, though

The Republicans of Maine have a

Ten Years Ago at Santiago.

It is 10 years ago this week that the
American army and navy were max
ing history around Santiago. What
happened there, and especially what
happened at San Juan and Ell Caney.
is one of the most creditable pages in
our military history. The United
States engaged in that war with Spain
simply and solely to liberate Cuba.
There was no motive beyond that and
no thought of conquest. And this
country has stuck tenaciously to its
promise to the world that it wouldn't
hold the island. The valor displayed
in storming Spanish blockhouses on
those three days in July. 1898, has not
been put to shame by subsequent
events nor has the good American
blood that flowed been shed in vain.
In discussing the battle of Santiago
a recent writer in the Philadelphia
Press points out the curious fact that
of all that band Of high-class fighting
men who conducted the Cuban and
Philippine campaigns on land and
water only one has since risen to great
distinction in civil life. Lawton.

Roosevelt was the one conspicuous
product in civil life drown out by
that war
The Revolution made Washington
the first President of his country and
an immortal. The second war with
England produced Andrew jackson,
created him a national hero and land
cd him in the Presidency. The Mexi-
can War made it's President out of
General Taylor, who, except for that,
would never have appeared in history.
The Rebellion gave Ulysses S. Grant
to the nation as President and to
the world as one of it's great military
captains. Roosevelt is the only one
who engaged conspicuOuSly in the
fighting against Spain who after ten
years has become far more conspicu-
Gus in the broader history of his
country and the world. The others,
