Fifth council district of the Territory
of New Mexico. His father lives at
Fort Smith, Arkansas. and is one of
the most distinguished lawyers in that
section of the state. His brother Is the
Republican nominee for Congress in
his district. Mr.. Mechem's ancestral
lineage has shown a decided leaning
to the legal profession, and he has
been an active practicing attorney for
fifteen years. Mr.. Mechem came to
Quay county five years ago, and con-
tinuously since that time has been di.
rectly concerned with the growth and
progress of the territory. He has al
ways had at heart the best interests
OF the entire community, and by his
untiring zeal and activity in behalf of
his section Of the territory, has been
one of the chief agencies in it's remark.
able advancement. He was largely in.
strumental in procuring legislative ac-
tion in extending the boundaries of
Quay county, and was one of those en-
trusted to 20 to Washington in the
interest luf obtaining land Office for
this place, which mission was success
full. He has large and lucrative law
practice. and it is great personal sac
rifice for him to accept the position,
but having been nominated he has ac-
cepted, and, If elected, will untiringly
work for the interests of this district
and the territory in general. He is
just the sort of man we need in the
territorial legislature. His ability as a
lawyer, his industry and honesty as a
man, and his knowledge of territorial
affairs, and the needs of the district
eminently qualify him for this position.
He has a host of Democratic friends
who believe the interests of the com.
munity demand his election, and who
will not oppose him merely because he
is on the Republican ticket. They feel,
as we do, that we should all join in
electing him as we need him in the
legislature. We do not say this because
Mr.. Mechem is on the Republican
ticket, but we sincerely believe it, and
We feel that when such an opportunity
is presented we should embrace that
opportunity and obtain the beneficial
results that will naturally arise from
such action"

DELuGE Of RESOLUTIONS
Numerous Addresses on Var
ious Subjects the Main
Feature.

Albuquerque, n. NJ, Sept. 30.-The
second days session of the Sixteenth
National Irrigation Congress opened
this morning with the appointment of
committees by President Goudy. The
resolutions committee began work at
once, being deluged with resolutions
introduced without reading. The reso-
lutions cover wide range. The Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
presented a resolution strongly endors-
ing the reclamation service and the
forestry bureau. The Trans-M Missouri
Dry Farming Congress, the Trans
Mississippi Congress Association exec
utive board and number of other org
anizations also forwarded resolutions
for consideration by the Congress.
The opening address of the morning
session was by John Barrett, director
of the International Bureau of Ameri-
can Republic, who delivered an
eloquent addresse on irrigation's
rapid progress through Pan-America.
w. Fl. Wiley, Of Colorado discussed
Irrigation by Private Enterprise" and
d. G. Beaman, of Denver, spoke on,
National Forests and the Forest Ser
vice"
The afternoon session will be given
over to addresses of technical and
scientific nature by we'll known irriga-
ton engineers and agricultural ex-
perts.
Beaman Attacks Forest Service.
In his address, Beaman attacked the
Forest Service and its head, Clifford
Pinchot. He said:
mo policy of recent years has done
SO much to ALLEVIATE friends of the gov.
ernment as has the mistaken policy
Of the Forest Service. And If any noun
tain states 60 Democratic this fall it
will be chiefly for that reason. II a
state government had treated its peo.
pie in such a manner, 1t would have
been ousted at the next election
Discussing Pinchots plan to stop
tha loss of soil by erosion by preserv-
ing the forests and thus preventing
floods, Beaman said:
"The truth is, that the rains which
produce the greatest floods do not fall
in the mountains. Storms are almost
wholly in the plains country, the result
of long and incessant rains, and those
floods can only be prevented by the
construction of reservoirs of sufficient
capacity to retain the surplus water
and that must be the final remedy
against the enormous rains which the
forests cannot entirely sustain
E, Beaman said that more timber had
been cut and sold under the Forest
Service than ever before in the Rocky
Mountains, but he had been infromed
by forest supervisor that less tim

ties of San Miguel, Quay and Guada-

high reputation in Las Vegas and San
Miguel county.
He was unanimously nominated for

ed and that he will represent the citi-
zens thereof creditably, ably and hon

Mr.. Mechem better than anyone else
in that part of the territory and is well
posted on his character and ability,
publishes the following biographical

accepted as fact and the truth.
The New Mexican gladly republish-

Residents Of Taos County View Recent
Visit OF Engineers as Significant
Great Mining Activity.
Special to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican.
Red River, N. NJ, Sept. 30.--The ex-
tended visit here last week of Chief
Engineer Turner Of the ST. Louis,
Rocky Mountain and Pacific Railway,
has encouraged the people Of this sec.
ton of Taos county that this rich min.
eral district will not long remain with
out transportation facilities. Those,
who from experience, know the value
of mineral resources, maintain that
this long neglected district will prove
a steady and profitable producer just
as soon as it has facilities of rail ship
ment for the vast bodies of low grade
ore which does not carry sufficient
values to make profitable the mining
and hauling of the ore great distance
to the railroad
H. ]. Luce, contractor for the shaft
work on the Edison mine, has just put
on a third shift of men and will con-
tinue to work three shifts until his con-
tract is completed. Superintendent
Long then expects to cross-cut the vein
formation, preparatory to opening up
the two veins Of rich mill dirt ready for
continuously supplying the ten-stamp
mill which will be put in thorough re-
pair and condition to withstand contin-
uous operation in the near future.
| DR.. Moses T. Runnels, of Kansas
City, has asked for bids for tunnel
work on the Veta Grand and Bartlett
claims, which are comprised in the
Bartlett Group on Columbine creek.
i A. d. Hawk has completed the min
eral work on the Highland Chief. in
Alum Gulch and has taken his family
to Portland. Oregon, for the winter
1t is reported that the Fraser pro-
perty, at Twining, has been sold to a
Denver syndicate, and that work will
begin on the lower tunnel of this rich
property at once. 1t is proposed to push
development during the winter on this
tunnel by hand work and as soon as
spring opens the pipe line and COM
pressor will be repaired and the work
pushed as rapidly as men and power
full machine drills can drive it.
Later the big mill here and smelter
will resume operations and the old
time activity may be expected in this
picturesque camp.

overland over the worst piece of road
in the Southwest to Taos. The trip
was a hard and dangerous one. The
Rio Grande had to be crossed. After
many hardships, at Arroyo Seco, a
few miles from Taos, the party was
met by large concourse Of citizens
in buggies, wagons and on horseback
and were escorted to the beauti.
full county seat of fruitful Taos coun:
ty where they were well taken care
Of. Hundreds of people had come from
the surrounding country to attend the
Republican county convention and lis
ten to the speakers and to become ac-
quainted with Delegate w. H. An
drews, Ex-Governor M. A. Otero, Hon.
E. A. Miera and other members of the
party. Among the influential and
strong Republicans who were noted
there were such men as Malaquias
Martinez, Ramon Sanches, A. G. Pa
checo, DR.. T. p Martin, Willie Nc
Keen, Samuel Esquibel and many 9th.
ers. These men assured Delegate An
drews that the Republican tickets will
receive a handsome majority from top
to bottom in Taos county this fall.
This closed one of the most success
full campaign trips in the recent cam
paign. There were present many vet
erans who had served their country
gallantly and who came to meet Dele
gate Andrews, who had helped to Sc
cure pensions for them. These old SOL
diers expressed their gratitude to the
delegate for his excellent work in Con-
gress. The party left Taos yesterday
morning at 3 o'clock by stage to Tres
Piedras, where they boarded the Den.
yer and Rio Grande train to this city,
arriving here last evening, two hours
late.
All Did Good Work.
Every member of the party did good
and telling work on the trip for the
Republican tickets. The funny man of
the trip was Elias Baca, of Socorro,
who is a good story teller. He kept his
hearers in laughter and put them in
good humor as well as convinced them
why they should vote the Republican
ticket. Delegate Andrews made telling
speeches, while Ex-Governor M. A..
Otero showed that he was an eloquent
and convincing speaker. Colonel
George w. Prichard who joined the
party Monday and delivered an ad-
dress at Taos on Monday night, is a
forceful speaker and convinced many
voters to vote the Republican ticket.
Hon. E. A. Miera, of Cuba, proved
that he was strong among the voters
and made fine talks. Mayor Jose
D. Sena, as usual, spoke eloquently and
made telling hits and A. M. Bergere
did likewise.
Delegate w. H. Andrews left for Al
buquerque this morning where he will
spspd a few days during the sessions
OF the Sixteenth National irrigation
Congress, after which he will return to
Republican headquarters in this city.
Hon. e. A. Miera also went south.
Elias Baca left the party at Tres Pie
dras and went on to San Juan county,
where he will do some campaigning.
At Tres Piedras, E. B. Stewart,
postmaster and lawyer rendered nice
reception to the speakers and many
people from the country gathered there
to meet them. Several short speeches
were delivered there during the short
time that the party stopped while
awaiting the train.
