NUMBERING 70 CONTINUE
Congress Reports FaVOrably the Bill
to Allow CuttIns Timber.
LOCAL MILL CAN RESUME OPERATIONS

Dispatches from Washington
dated Thursday, state that the
delegation of New Mexicans who
went to Washington in the in
terest of territorial affairs, has
succeeded in having favOrably
reported before the house a bill
allowing the Alamogordo Lum-
Der company to continue the
cutting of timber in the Sacra-
mento mountains just east of
Alamogordo.
The timber lands involved
were the basis of suit entered
by the United States against
the Alamogordo Lumber COM
pany, based upon the assump-
tion that the title to the tim ber
lands had been secured in an
irregular manner. The bill now
before the house provides for
the lumber company paying
$3 an acre for the timber, which
will be cut under forest reserve
supervision, and the land will
revert to the territory.
This arrangement when per-
fected will permit the lum ber-
ing operators to be resumed up
on a larger scale than ever, and
when the mill at Alamogordo
resumes it will require working
a day and a night shift in order
to keep up:with the large amount
of accumulated orders.
The resumption of work in the
mill and in the mountains means
the monthly distribution Of
about $1,000 in cash for pay
rolls.

PUMPING FOR IRRIGATION
FAILURES Due TO WRONG METHODS

undoubtedly be used to greater
extent in the future than in the
past. There has been an in
creasing tendency during the
past few years for its use. The
unfortunate experience in pump
ing about fifteen or twenty years
ago and the disappointing ex-
| periences due to expecting too
much from pumping, have pre-
vented further attempts at using
it until recently.
Within proper limits, a great
deal may be expected from
pumping. When the water is
within a moderate distance of
the surface of the soil in quanti-
ties large enough to supply a
good stream Of water, and where
the material in the soil and sand
is coarse enough to furnish a
sufficient stream, great deal
may be expected of it. Many of
the earlier failures were due to
lack of mechanical skill on the
part of the people who tried to
pump, so that they were not able
to keep their engines in repair,
or to make small repairs. A
number, however, have contin-
ued pumping for many years,
and some with great success.
The scope of pumping is gener-
ally limited. 1t is best adapted
to small areas. 1t is easy to
overestimate the amount of wa
ter that a well will furnish. We
very often hear of inexhaustible
wells. Some of these state
ments are laughable, were it not
that sometimes they may be mis-
leading.
When water is taken for irri-
cation it should be remembered
that the amount required for Il
good many head of cattle would
not furnish much water for irri-
CATION, and that when u steady
draft is made on the we'll the
water is lowered by a noticeable
amount; and unless the water is
furnished as fast as it is with
drawn, the volume of water
stored in the soil will be mate
rally reduced and the capacity
of the well diminished. No
we'll has an ineXhaustible sup
ply. 1t should not be forgotten
that the water must come from
somewhere, and that it is either
the rainfall or the inflow from
from bitches around. Where
the water stands in the soil it is
practically small lake, and
hence, as the water is reduced
in level, the supply may be per-
manently lowered, and it will
be unless the inflow is equal tC
the discharge and there is time
between the periods of pumping
for the level to recover.
j Fortunately there are many
places where the gravel and
sand is coarse and where the
water can flow with relative
ease. The rapidity of the inflow
would increase as the water il
lowered, within certain limits
SO that for every ten feet of low
ering Of the water table, every
square foot will be apt to fur
.nish in the neighborhood ot
. three gallons a minute. This
lowering of the water may bt

Comparison IS FAVORABLE DESERT LAND CONDITIONS |
The Agricultural Wealth Of New Mexico
Shows Up Well.
STATISTICS SHOWING RAPID GROWTH

According to the crop reporter
for the month of December is
sued by the department of agri-
culture, New Mexico is not as
low down on the list as producer
Of agricultural products as is
generally believed by many peO-
pie and even by citizens of the
territory. Indeed every year
the value of agricultural prod
ucts and the acreage under cul-
.tivation are increasing at very
satisfactory rate. The value of
the crops raised for the year
1907 is estimated at $6, ,126, 900,
divided as follows:
Corn-42,000 acres planted,
yielding twenty-nine bushels to
the acre; producing 1,2l8,0O0
bushels; price received per bu-
shell, seventy-two cents; total
value to the farmer, $S77 900.
Wheat-46,000 acres planted,
yielding twenty-four bushels to
the acre; producing 1,104, 900
bushels; price received per bu-
shell, ninty-three cents; total
value to the farmer, 81, ,027, 900.
Oats-12,O0O acres planted,
yielding twenty-eight and a half
bushels to the acre, producing
100000 bushels; price received
per bushel, tifty-tive cents; total
value to the farmer, 254,000.
Barley-1,000 acres planted,
yielding twenty-six bushels to
the acre; producing 26,000 bu-
shells, price received per bushel,
ninety-three cents; total value
to the farmers 81, ,O27 900.
Potatoes (white)-1,0O0 acres
planted, yielding 100 bushels to
the acre; producing 100000 bu-
shells; price received per bushel
ninety-six cents; total value to
the farmer, 100000.
Hay-16,00O acres moved, the
yield being 2.05 tons to the acre ;
producing 1928, 900 tons; price re-
ceived per ton $l1.75; total value
to the farmer, 1884, 900.
1t is very apparent, therefore
that the agricultural and horti-
cultural products of the terrific
ry are of the highest import and
that their value exceeds those of
the sheep ana cattle raising IN
dustries which are next in i'm
poftance. In another decade
the adjective "arid" will not be
applied to New Mexico as far as
agriculture shall be concerned.
Of course the climate will not
change materially and there will
be many sections unfit for culti-
vation, but like Colorado of to-
day, New Mexico will not only
raise. enough cereals, fruits and
vegetables for it's own consump,
tion, but also good deal for ex-
port.-Santa Fe New Mexican.

The Laws Governing Final Proof are not
as Rigid as Supposed.
INFORMATION GIVEN TOA SUBSCRIBER

The News received a letter
from a Chicago subscriber dated
January 90 in which the writer
desired certain information rela-
tive to desert claim filing and
final proof, and gave the privi-
lege of replying through the col
umns of the paper, believing
that the information given would
be of interest to others. The
letter is as follows:
Chicago, January 20, 1908.
Editor Alamogoado News,
Dear Sir: Your issue of the
News of the 25th instant has
just arrived, and it Is with great
pleasure that notice therein an
an article on desert claim filing
law. 1t seems to me that this
article is very timely, as no
doubt there is considerable con-
fusion arising concerning the re-
quirements Of the land office.
The writer was in your city last
fall and had occasion to ask sew
eral persons there why they did
not take up some land under the
desert act and the invariable re-
sponse was that it was very
hard to prove up under that
act" In some other localities
in reply to the same. question
the answer would be (as you
tersely put it)" it can't be did"
Now while your article is highly
appreciated by me and has given
me more information on the sub
ject than ever had, there still
seems to be something lacking
on one or two points, at least so
far as | and some of my friends
are concerned, and | therefore
ask if you will kindly enlighten
me on these points.
THE law when enacted appa-
rently had in view the reclama-
tion of lands by means of canal
bitches leading from a stream,
spring, canyon or other body Of
water; but how is it where there
is no such water and the only
means Of irrigation would be by
wells and a storage reservoir to
catch and conserve the rainfall
by means Of bitches over say 160
acres? have in view land about
forty miles north of your city,
where a we'll has been driven
siXty-tive feet and has twenty
one feet of water which seems
ineXhaustible and with gaso-
line engine throws four-inch
stream and sixty to eighty acres
can be irrigated with ease. Now
with two or three wells like this
there would be plenty of water
to irrigate a quarter section.
What | want to knowtis whether
this will fill the bill, as it is the
only way that land can ever be
irrigated.
"One more point which | have
never had answered and never
saw a statement regarding it is
this: In the case of a desert en-
try, suppose that the entryman
has in good faith expended more
money than the law requires in
an effort to reclaim the land
and fails within the, three years
to get suffcient,water, ,.does he
then lose out and fail.to get his
patent? In other words, does
the government allow citizer
to waste his time, substance anC
money in attempted reclamation
