MESSAGE
Of LITTLE AVAIL
Congress Will Pro-
vide for But Two
Battleships
some FAVOR ONLY ONE
Committee Thinks I his Num-
Der Ample...O Overwhelm-
ing Opposition.

Washington, April 15.-In spite of
the Presidents urgent recommends
ton contained in his special message
sent to Congress yesterday that four
more battleships be provided for in
the naval appropriation bill that body
Is not likely to authorize more than
two at this session.
The naval committee will make
provision in the naval bill for only two
battleships,' said Senator Hale, chair
man of the committee on naval af-
fairs, in an interview today. THAT
number Is sufficient and possibility
only one will be provided for be
fore the bill is finally passed. There is
a strong sentiment at both ends OF
the capitol in favor OF only one ship
although as said before the appro
priation will probably be made for two
but no more
Senator John Sharp Williams said
that more than two thirds of the Dem
ocrats would vote against four battle
ships and the Republican leaders ap
pear confident that at least half o
the Republicans would do likewise.

ALLEGED UNSAFE
MINE DYNAMlTED

Up Following Warning to Make
Needed Repairs.

Durango, Colo. April 15.-Following
warning received through an annony-
nous letter tha. unless the Champion
coal mine of the Royal Coal and Coke
company near here was made safe by
repairs, the mine would be blown up,
an explosion occurred in the mine late

wrecked the underground workings
and perhaps fatally injured three per-

will die. C. A. Williams who was in
the mine at the time of the explosion
has not been found, and it is believed
he is dead.

Thursday of last week by Superinten-
dent George C. Logan, who caused an
inspection to be made the following
day. The mine was pronounced to be
entirely safe.
There is no clue to the sender of
the letter or the cause Of the explos-

Number of Homestead Entries Recorded
During that Month Were the Great
est in Its History
ORIGINAL ENTRIES REACH A TOTAL OF 60,2N ACRES
Most Striking Illustration of New Mexicos Wonderful
Crowth.-.More Clerks Needed To
Handle Work.

That the local United States land
office is the busiest pace in Santa Fe
IS shown by the number of original
homestead entries made during the
month of March. The business Is still
on the increase and Manuel R. Otero
register of the land office, is of the
opinion that the April filings will run
ahead of those made in March. The
desert filings are exceptionally heavy
this month. Three hundred and nine
ty-one original homestead entries
were made during the month of March
and more than ninety per cent OF
these by new arrivals from the
states in the East, North and South
who have faith in the future great.
ness of New Mexico as a good farm
ing country. Most of the new settlers
coming into the territory are bringing
stock. farming implements, ETC., and
are building substantial homes upon
their claims.
In comparing the original filings
since the first of January, last, 1t Is
found that in January three hundred
and fifty-two entries we're made; Feb
ruary had three hundred and eighty
two entries and all indications are at
this time that the month of April will
reach the four hundred mark.
Present Force Inadequate.
Register Otero says that with the
present clerical force 1t is almost i'm
possible to keep up with the growing
work and If the business keeps on
increasing at the present rate addi-
tional clerks will have to be added to
keep the work up-to-date. The cor
respondence also being very heavy
adds a good deal to the work In the
office. All the way from one hundred
letters upward come through the
mails every day
AT the present pace t>ew Mexico's
future is assured. It's people are the
best blood from the best states in the
Union, who understand farming in all
its branches, and who will do all in
their power to bring about speedily
improved conditions for this territory.

Helena, Mont, April 15.-Without
warning the great dam at Hauser lake
on the Missouri river, fifteen miles
north of here, partially gave way late
yesterday afternoon, causing damage
estimated at $250,000. No lives were
lost, SO far as can be learned, but seri-
Gus damage has been caused by the
volume of water, estimated at about
twenty-five feet, which was precipitat-
ed into the channel below the struc.
ture. The narrowness of the river
and It's interwinding course has i'm
peded the progress of the water to
some extent but great loss Of property
i santicipated in the towns and villag
es north of this city.
The Hauser lake dam, seventy feet
high and 490 feet long, was completed
last year at cost of more than $4,000,
900 and developed a horse power Of
100000, which was utilized in oper
|ating the various power plants in
Helena and the Butte mines and the
Amalgamated Copper company's
smelter plants at Anaconda. The
break in the dam will not interfere
with the operation of the mines ant
