ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
MAKES CONFESSION
Mysterious and Awful Murder Now
SoIved-Perpetrator Writes
Sheriff.

Columbus, Mich, Jan. 11.-New
light has been thrown upon the fearful
murder that was uncovered here last
week, the suspicion that the victim
was Gideon Browning and not the
Rev. John Haviland Carmichael are
now being proven correct as also the
supposition that the pastor had com
mitted the crime. A dispatch from
Carthage says: Rev. John Haviland
Carmichael attempted to commit sui
eide here today at the home of his
his sister, Mrs. Nj. Hughes. He left
a letter addressed to the sheriff at
Port Huron, near where the murder of
Gideon Browning was perpetrated,
asking him to come for his body.
Carmichael cut his throat from ear to
ear. The wounds are believed to be
fatal Carmichael in his letter de-
clared that he killed Browning and
cut up the body while under the hyp-
motto influence of his wife.

THREE LARGE |RR|.
CATION PROJECTS
Are Now Complet-
ing Their Topo-
graphic Part
THE HYDROGRAPH|C SURVEY
OF the Rayado River Has
Been Finished by the En-
gineer's Department.

Vernon l.. Sullivan, Territorial En-
gineer, has just returned from visit
| to Colfax county, where he has been
inspecting some irrigation works and
also the photographic Survey on the
Rayado river.
One of the large irrigation projects
|of the territory and known as the
Farmers Development Company's lrri-
cation System, is nearing completion.
The finishing touches to the canal are
now being made, the main reservoir
having been completed last fall and is
now about one-third full of water and
the other two-thirds will be filled from
the melting of the snow in the noun
tains in the spring.
This project is located in the west
ern part of Colfax county It may be
justly said that this company should
be credited with starting one OF the
best movemnts and in the right di-
rection for the development of one of
the best irrigation systems, and that
is, the placing of a competent man in
the field whose duty is solely to in
struct the farmers under that system
in the proper methods in handling
Of the water and the care of the crops
and soil. TO the average farmer who
comes to an irrigated district he is
nearly always Handicapped with the
idea that irrigation farming is farm
ing with water and water only.
There is no place where the meth
DDS advised by Campbell are more
applicable than under irrigation farm
ing and with the combining of the
two, the greatest of results are OBJ
tanned.
The Uraca Ranch Company have a
major portion Of their large storage
dam completed and work on the inlet
and outlet canals have been started.
while the French Land and Irrigation
company are busily at work on their
great system.
The topographic part of the Rayado
photographic Survey has been com
pleted, the maps are now being work
ed up, and the photographic work
will be continued till after the maxi
mum spring flow has been gagged

VISITOR SAYS SANTA
FE SHOULD ADVERTISE
Eastern Capitalists and Promoters lg-
norant OF Opportunities Here.

DR.. J. C. Bridges of Chicago is in
the city to be licensed by the board
of health to practice medicine in the
Sunshine territory before locating at
Roswell Dr. Bridges is well pleased
with the territory and thinks Santa
Fe has bright future. He says the
city has many natural advantages and
resources which should be exploited
He declares that people are ignorant Of
conditions here despite the fact that
Santa Fe is Old. He believes that a
little advertising by the people and
by the railroads would result in bring
ing capital here to be invested for
the development of natural resources
and conditions that would make new
town here. He states that many towns
are advertising advantages and resour-
ces which they do not possess but
nevertheless are making great strides
while Santa Fe with the real advant-
ages could by proper publicity out
strip all the towns in the territory If
it would He thinks the climate here
the most ideal he ever saw and be-
lieves that sanitariums being estab-
lished in other parts will regret they
did not select Santa Fe with it's cool
summers when the heat and insects
of summer make life miserable for
the health-seekers at sanitariums less
favorably located. DR.. Bridges is very
enthusiastic and optimistic regarding
Santa Fe and thinks that if eastern
people only knew of the advantages,
opportunities and resources of the
city and immediate vicinity they
would come here and locate.
DR.. Bridges has Travelled a good bit
and has studied conditions and ad-
vises Santa Fe people not to rely sole
ly upon its historic nature to attroct
people but it must advertise and use
the methods of publicity that make
smaller towns have booms.
