1t seems odd that the entryman,

the case, may give false testimony.

nesses who testify in his behalf, are

on this ground some OF the attor-
neys go to the length of holding that
it would be possible for an entryman
to establish title to the entry without
himself making an affidavit. chat

regulation or requirement.) provided
the entryman had sufficient to
carry the contest to the United States
supreme court.
This decision holds good in every
particular, except the alienation
clause. That is to say, the entryman
is required to testify that he has not
sold, nor contracted to sell, any part
of the land. A false answer in this
alienation clause would lay the entry
mar liable to conviction, under an in
dictment for perjury.

mortgage placed on the land under
the Northern canal. This plan was
approved by Mr.. Norton, who said
there We're plenty of investors in the
east who would furnish money on
such a plan and gave the names of
firms in Chicago. New York and Bos-
ton, to be investigated by the secre-
tary of the club.
1t is stated that the Penasco would
furnish about 1900 horse power at
every three miles OF its course. Mr..
Norton estimated the cost of running
a plant at so per acre per year,
which is much lower than present
pumping cost. Mr.. Norton said he
thought the proposition could be put
through without any trouble.

Roswell, N. NJ, Dec. Ito harness
the rushing waters of the Rio Pen
assoc whereby to generate electricity to
light the cities of the Pecos valley and
nump wells for irrigation Is the inter-
esting project and one with great pos
sibilities that is now occupying the
attention of the businessmen of Ros-
well. A meeting of the commercial
club committee on water power was
held here this week in conference
with ]. L. Norton of Chicago an expert
on such projects and who is interested
in the great Niagara falls plant. Mr..
Norton has bought forty acres in the
valley and will make his home here.
The Record thus describes the pOssi-
bllities of the scheme:
This committee is composed of j. f.
Hinkle, John T. Mcclure and J.. X.
McGaffey. From their Investigators
it has developed that the Penasco
runs for a distance of about thirty
miles with a fall of about fifty feet
to the mile. The river has a rock bed
along this curse and the land in the
immediate vicinity is not suited to ir-
rigation. The plan is to harness the
stream through waterfalls and create
electric power that could be easily
transmitted to all the farming country
up and down the valley, supplying
power for pumping where the artesian
flow does not come to the surface and
power for lighting machinery in the
cities and towns and also for street
cars, etc. Ever the water of the Pen
asco would not be wasted or injured
in the least.
1t is estimated that there are 1907
900 acres of patented land within
reach of this plant that cannot be ir-
rigated with artesian wells and could
be reclaimed with the electric pump.
This land, mortgaged for $40 per acre,
would produce IS, 1000, 900 for the cleo
trio plant as proposed. 1t is stated
that $50 per acre is SIS less han the

IN Topeka
MaIIet Type Locomotives viii
Take Their Time to It in Trial
Trip Across the West Under
Own Steam.

To pilot across the west the two big
new Mallet compound engines of the
Santa Fe, the biggest in the world, NJ.
p. Cheney, road foreman of engines
at san Bernardino, passed through Al
buquerque this week en- route to To-
peka, where the giant engines arc be-
ing prepared for their trial trip TO
Needles. The locomotives, which will
be put in service on the Arizona di-
vision, are the largest passenger en-
gines ever built. The heads of the
mechanical department looked around
4 while before they chose the proper
man, for il is a big responsibility to
take these new machines ver the
road. Their use on the Santa is dis
tinctly an experiment and as the en-
money they will be nursed carefully
along until they are well broken in.
The selection of Mr.. Cheney is a sig
nal recognition Of his ability.
The two big engines will be pre-
pared at the Topeka shops Tor the
trip and the delicate parts put to-
gether. The locomotives were towed
from the Baldwin locomotive works
and as yet have not been run under
their W steam.
The road foremen of engines of the
various divisions will ride the big en-
gines over their respective territory
and probably other officials will in
spect them for short distances, but
Mr.. Cheney will ride the entire dis
lance. The two engines will be given
a light tonnage. for it is is expected
to consume two or three weeks on the
to Needles. from which point
they will be Immediately placed in
over the heavy grade east of
point.
World wide interest has beer arous-
ed by the latest production in heavy
power. Weighing with the
800 tons, and having a hauling
power one-half greater than the most
powerful passenger locomotive now in
use, these twin monsters. Cos 1909
and 1901, are the largest engines in
world.

According to the latest statements
of officials the Santa Fe will divide
its through passenger traffic between
the old line and the Belen cutoff as
soon as the Harvey houses are all
complete on the Eeastern railway and
the company is prepared to feed its
passengers properly. Two California
filters, one over the cut-off and one
over the mountains. will give the de
luxe travellers to and from the coast
their choice Of the short route and
the picturesque route. and according
to the officials there will be plenty
OF business for both trains. In short,
the building of the cutoff. it appears.
will be no more than adequate TO
handle the extra business and will not
affect traffic on The old line. II is
stated that while most OF the through
freight will go over the cut-of there
will still be freight business TO burn
for the old route.
