Editor Of the Morning Journal
In the special dispatch from soeor-

of the fifteenth instant, the Following
statement ~ made;
"On the basis Of an nppraisement
by a board of referees appointed b.
the government. the latter offered tho

$4,000 for the land. The offer was
refused. the company asking the enor.

In view Of the fact that the officers
Of the United states are bound rs

TO me II would be hardly fair to ae-
cusc them OF having made the ridicn.
lous offer OF $4,000 Tor the $4,000
acres of land OF the Vlctorlo Land and
Cattle company which they seek to
acquire. The sum Of s6b.000, as you
VIII see, IL less Than two dollars per

No one knows better than the of.
Ulcers OF the reclamation service In
charge OF this project that unimprov-
ed lands south Of the Elephant Butte
lam are selling at from 500 to $50
per acre, are IN no way superior
TO the valley lands OF the Victoria
Land and Cattle company; the only
dfferencc being that tho government
proposes 10 take the lands OF the Vie |
torio Land and Cattle and
Wy l"'if use Tor n RESERVOIR site To |
add millions Of dollars TO the value
OF the land below the reservoir site.
More than 1000 acres Of the land
demanded by the government Is val |
ley land OF the highest quality, and
that alone AZ the prices prevailing be-
low y reservoir would amount TO |
from $4,000 to $%t,i26,000
The sum of $500, 900, which your

though President Taft did not discuss
his program for the conservation of

sage he made II clear that he win
make important recommendations on

FRIENDS of the conservation movement
have discovered two passages in the

indicate that in dealing with this
question the president viii take an
advanced position. In the first place
the president Says that he desires to
express general concurrence in the
recommendations for legislation made
by his cabinet officers, Later in the
message he enumeratcs practically all
OF the recommendations pertinent to
conservation contained in the animal
report of the secretary Of the interior.
~ Is expected that Mr.. Taft's message
on conservation, which may be sent
70 congress before the HOLIDAYS, will
contain q sweeping and emphatic on

Ininlstratiop, 1t win make clear, how
that the forests. the coal lands
ana the water powers Of the nation
must be protected from spoiliation

generations. Even the most ard
ent friends Of the conservation move

nothing to erlticise In Mr.. BalIinger's
legislative recommendations. They

Especial Correspondence to Morning Journal
New York, Doc. 1l.-With many
millions in fat city salaries to be
passed round BY the new administra-
tion within the next few weeks, the
hottest scramble for political patron
age that has ever been seen in this
city was begun today. Hundreds of
thousands from the hungry hordes Of
Tammany hall are clamoring for their
leaders to press their claims for Of
flee, though 40 one knows vet what
weight Judge Gaynor win give to the
word of the organization that nomi-
mated him but almost lost him his
election as mayor. squads Of recep-
tive candidates for the paying posts
under the municipal officers elected
by the fusion forces are storming the
doors of the coming district attorney,
controller n borough presidents.
For the many hundred rich livings to
be made at city expense, many thou
sand men are fighting with a frenzy
that has Set all Gotham In a whirl.
When the plum tree is finally shaker
bare on New Years day by New
York's new administrators, the many
who have felt called to this mad sour
~ for office will be left only empty
envy for the chosen few.
Sister strikers.
Backed by ten thousand women
workers and conducted by girls who
are proving more persistent If not so
violent as male labor leaders. the
shlrtwaist strike is today beginning to
interest the people Of this town, that
lends an ear to ordinary labor
troubles. Never before have the peo-
pie here seen a strike in which regi-
ments of workers held their ground as
firmly or picketed their lines moro
earnestly than these girls, who are
standing out for an eight-hour day in
the shirtwaist sweatshops, are doing,
Though female strike breakers threat
on the success of the movement AT

holding the fort today with a record
