New Mexico shall hold the place
among the great sisterhoOd of states
to which her latent resources so just
~ entities her, it will bc found that
it is more because Of her fertile lands
than of all of the other varied re-
sources which she possesses.
Wonderful as are her vast stretches
Of grazing lands, eXhaustless as are
her great beds Of coal abundant as
are the rich deposits Of minerals that
are as vet hut meagerly known, an
will be found insignificant when COM
pared with the great wealth that lies
hidden in her virgin soil and only
needs the hand of the careful irriga-
ton farmer to make ID produce in
greatest abundance.
Cofax county today is recognized
as one Of the Wealthicst counties in
the territory and the town of Spring
er is located i'm the farming center Of
the county.
The wealth of the county at this
time consists largely i'm her mines,
coal, timber and livestock interests.
The irrigation farmer has persevcred
until he has found an entrance with
in her borders In her soil ne has
found the mystic lamp that is to dis
close her future greatness, 1t is con-
servatiVely estimated that within the
next year more than one hundred
thousand acres will be under uriga-
ton i'm this county alone.
Every train from the north and
east brings immigrant cars, farm ma
chinery, big steam ploWs, merchan-
disc, or homc-seekers. These latter
need no argument to convince them
of the fertility of the soil and the cX-
uberanCe of the climate. They come
from the best farming regions Of the
north and middle west ana are from
that progressive class Of farmers who
can readily see the advantage of hay
ing under complete control the appli-
cation of moisture to the growing
crop They know through years of
bitter experience that it is lust as
harmful to the growth of plant life
to have too much moisture as if is ia
nave too little. They know that in the
great rain belt section of the country
il matters but little what advanced
ideas they may entertain about the
scientific preparation of the soil and
scientific culture; that their knoWl~
edge avais them naught when rain
delugcs the land or draught burns up
their crops
From time immemorial man has
sought to control the elements to do
his bidding but it is only i'm the arid
or scm-arid regions that he has been
able to successfully control those ele-
ments that enter into plant life. here
he is supreme master BY means of
irrigation he supplies the moisture
when needed and Wjthholds if when
not needed 1t requires no superior
intellect to recognize the advantages
Of farming under such conditions. Ii
is this knowledge that is causing

State Engineer Nicholas has return

has been settling disputes over water
rights and he states that in the Osca-
ola canyon placer mining district are
gravel beds that will astonish the

The water for operating the hydra
ulic giants will be drawn from ths
natural reservoir i'll the crater of an
extinct volcano. The body of water
is not marked on the maps and the
existence of an old volcano there IS
not generally known. Neither is the
fact that there is a peak called MT.
Wheeler. 1900 feet high at the head
of Oseeola canyon.
The crater lake feed fifteen small
streams that flow out of It IN al

A

The Democratic State convention
was held at Carson the first of the
week for the purpose OF eiecting del
egates and alternates to the Denver
convention.
The only significance attached IT,
the meeting was to illustrate the fact
that Senator Newlands still maintains
his grip on the "masheen, and that
the latter is hostile to the State police
and proposes to go after the political
scalp of every Democrat who had a
hand in the organization of that body.
While the committee on resolutions
deplorng the death of the
late Governor Sparks, and extended
sympathy to the bereaved family, 1T
failed to indorse his administration,
although fulsome in its praise of his
successor. By the same committee,
Senator Newlands was lauded to the
skies and made a delegate at large,
but when Congressman Bartlett. $
name was mentioned, the only noise
to be heard was the omnibus and por-
tentous sound Of the grinding OF
hatchets. His name, also, was placed
in nomination for one of the delegate
ships, but upon ascertaining the tenn
ner of the convention, his friends, with
as good grace as possible, withdrew u
from further consideration.
Were the Silver State News a Dem
oeratic paper, it would immediately
proceed to notify the "masheen' that
Humboldt county is still in the State
Of Nevada. From the published re-
ports of the conventions proceedings,
this fact was apparently overlooked
by that august body.

suited in a complete victory for the

lain, the present Democratic chief exc

clared to be the choice of the people
for United States Senator by a sub

coveted toga. The vote of the people
is not binding upon the Legislature,
which, in this case, being solidly Re

1t will be remembered that in this

Geer was the choice of the people at

To the old query, "What is as cold
as a night in June" might appro-
priately be added a day in June as
well. The snowstorm of yesterday
was the heaviest for a year. While
it undoubtedly damaged growing crops
to some extent, this was perhaps NOR
than offset by the benefits that will
result from the m%uch-needed precipita-

Their, and whenever we have a mild,

removes a picturesque figure
from the field of national politics. Born
in a slave State, he fought in the
