BIG BATTLE IN nj !ARACUA
FIGHTING IN PROGRESS IN RAMA
AND GREYToWN.
"Final Grapple," According to Nicara'
guam Insurrectionary
Advices.

Seattle, Nov 30 The gunboat
Princeton, Commander c. P. Hayes, has
sailed from the Bremerton navy yard
for Nicaragua, where it will join the
gunboat Vicksburg, which is now at
Corinto.
Washington, Nov 29.-The Nicara-
guam insurgents are now engaged in
what is expected to be the final grapple
with the Zelayan forces, according to
unofficial advices reaching Salvador
Castrillo, the representative here of
the Nicaraguan insurrectionary forces.
The advices indicate that fighting is
in progress both at Rama and Grey
town and that general assault on Ma
nagua, the capital, will follow.
The arms and ammunition landed late
last week from the Norwegian steamer
Utstein are believed now to be in the
hands of the insurrectionists.
At the department of state it was de-
clared that all inquiries regarding the
landing of marines upon Nicaraguan
territories were met with evasive re-
plies, but these were such as to give
rise to the belief that some force has
been put ashore to protect American
interests and to reconnoiter.
Zelaya Imposes Big Taxes.
New Orleans, Nov. 29-Liberal con-
tributions to the revolutionary cause
in Nicaragua have been made by the
business interests of that country, ac-
cording to Consul General Sussman,
representative of General Estrada at
New Orleans.
The consul declared that these in
terests had been taxed extortionately
by Zelaya.
1t has not only been the large en-
terprises that have felt the oppressive
hand of President Zelaya, the consul
declared.
There have been many instances
of petty injustice and extortion. Near
Managua there is a little lagoon in
which the Indian women have been
wont, from time immemorial, to wash
their clothes. One day, without warn
ing, the official proclamation was is
sued stating that a company had been
formed which would charge the women
a comparatively large sum per day
for the privilege of using the water.
Payment as demanded was made be-
cause there was no other available wa
ter supply"

his promotion to the governorship of a
great state, and to national promi

one of the best evidences of the equal
ity of opportunity that we have in this
country, and on the fact that high
character, earnest endeavor and great
ability and intelligence, will enable
man to raise himself from the hum
blest position in society to be a lead
err among us.

address of Mr.. Doherty. general traf-
fic manager of the st. Louis, Browns
vile and Mexico railroad, would be
given, according to program, and the
meeting would then be addressed by
Herbert Kaufman, the noted maya
zine writer, who was with them this
evening.
Railroads and Agriculture.
Mr.. Doherty was introduced ac-
cordingly and spoke at some length
on How the railroads aid agricul-
tural development" The close ALI
ance that should exist naturally be-
tween the interests of the railroad
and the farmer were pointed out. Few
probably realized how closely they
are allied, Mr. Doherty declared.
Without the railroad, the farmer
would be helpless. Without the far
mer, the railroads would be forced to
go out of business. Prosperity for
the farmer meant prosperity for the
railroad, and adversely for the far
mer meant adversely for the railroad.
Tb. farmers aud the railroads, he
said, form the one great company of
the world, and the merchants, bank
ers, and other business enterprises de-
pend upon this company for living.
Dwelling at length upon the greatness
of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, he
alluded to the high class of popula-
ton which the valley is rapidly &C
quiring, and said that here, as in the
great southern and western agricul-
tural regions, will be found the truest
Americanism. The great centers of
population, especially of the North,
were largely a composite aggregation
of foreign races, but here and in the
smaller towns generally of this sec
ton were congregating the real
American people, and it BODIED well
for the future of this valley. Meet
ings of this character, Mr. Doherty
said, should be held oftener, and
were it not for the laws of the state,
the railroad would see that they we're
held oftener, and would convey those
who could not afford to pay fare
without charge. A brief history of
the construction of the Brownsville

ABSOLUTE SECURITY
UNDER THE CARY ACT

Under the provisions of the Carey
Act. the State Land Board, after the
inspection and approval of the Rec
Iamation Department of the Federal
Government, supervises the entire
construction of the irrigation system
and dams. The State Land Board ad-
vises and looks after the interests
of the settler. The entire canal system
and dams ultimately become the prop
erty of the settlers. Any citizen over
the age of 81 years can file on these
lands. Filing not to exceed 160 acres;
filing on less than 160 acres does
not exhaust your Carey act; your
Carey act is good, even though you
may have used all your other govern
mental land rights.
The Carey act permits one person
to file land for another, so that by
giving a power of attorney, which this
company will furnish you free OF
charge, you may form club in your
neighborhood, giving all of your pow
ers of attorney to anyone, who may
then secure land for you.

What the State Engineer Says

The Toltec Canal and Reservoir
System and the lands to be watered
and opened for settlement have been
repeatedly examined and reported up
on by civil engineers of national repu-
tation.
The whole matter is critically ex-
amined by the State Engineer OF the
State of Colorado. who reported to the
secretary of the interior. under date
OF July 9. 1909. as follows:
AS State Engineer. and by the dir
ection of the State Board OF Land
Commissioners, recently caused an
examination to be made of the said
irrigation system. and of the lands
Intended to be irrigated thereby. From
that examination II is my opinion
that the water supply is adequate.

able. and the said canal system suffi-
oient to thoroughly irrigaie and re-
claim the said lands and prepare them
to raise ordinary agricultural crops
The territory embraced In the sys-
TEN consists largely of alternating
fats and ridges. sloplng generally in
southeasterly direction. and In such
a manner that it will be comparative
ly easy to irrigate the same. The lands
are desert In character. but are cap
able of high yield under irrigation
They now support thick growth OF
mesquite and sage. with a scant growth
OF short grass, The soil is OF the best
quality. being a light sandy loan
lava, which has covered the whole
territory. II is particularly adapted
TO successful and economical irriga-
ton. Its depth and compactness are
such as to prevent great loss from
seepage.
In my opinion tho water supply
is adequate and sufficient for the irri-
CATION and reclamation OF all the
lands subject to the duty of said canal
and reservoir system"
