Delegate Andrews has given
Deming and Luna county consid-
cradle advertising by introduc-
ing a bill for a government
pumping plant for irrigation in the
Mimbres valley and similarly to
Portales and Roosevelt county
for q plant of that description at
Portales. That irrigation by
pumping is considered quite
feasible may be taken from the
following editorial in the Denver
Republican:
THE fact that farmers in the
vicinity of Deming, New Mexico.
are obtaining water for irriga-
ton by pumping is Of special in
terest because it directs atten-
ton to what may be done in the
same way in other parts of the
arid region.
1.-TWO prominent factors have
entered into the problem of irri-
cation by pumping in localities
where it is impracticable to
divert water from streams
or impound it in reservoirs. One
is the question Of water supply
which may be reached by wells,
and the other is the cost Of oper-
ating pumps.
"Of these the first can be
guessed at by biologists, but it
can be determined only by the
test of experience. By sinking
wells it can be determined
whether water exists near enough
to the surface to admit of its be-
ing lifted by pumps; but it is
only by operating the pumps
during a term of years that one
can ascertain whether the sup
ply can be depended upon from
season to season. The question
of water supply must, therefore,
remain for a time an uncertain
factor.
The cost Of operating pumps
need stand no longer in the way
of development of this kind,
Production of electricity by water
power in the mountains ant
its transmission to farms on the
plains may so far be considered
practicable from an economic
standpoint that every owner o
arid land within a hundred mile
; of the foothills can reclaim it b.
irrigation, provided there is al
available and adequate supply o
water beneath the surface. Il
I this method of irrigation lies tn

part of the plains region east o

Be pitiful! Her lips have touched

Clear stream that sets the long
green leaves astir.
The very doves that dream beside the

Sang their soft notes to her.
For her these doors that claim the
amorous South,
Bound in red bronze and stayed
with cedar wood
And here the bees sought honey from
her mouth
So like a flower she stood.
For her the globed pomegranates
grew, and all
Sweet savory fruits rose perfect
from their flower
Here has her soul known silence and
the fall
Of each enchanted hour
Under her feet all beauty was laid
low,
In her deep eyes all beauty was
made clear,
When the king called her through
the amber glow:
20 Vashti, I am heren
Still the sweet wells return to me
her face,
Still her lost name on every wind
is blown.
The shadows and the silence of this
place
Are hers alone
