The EstanCia valIeu.

Many years ago some ranchmen came
And to this valley secured claim.
But by and by the government saw
Their claim would not hold good in law.
They then decided to bring the change
islnd open for settlement this fine range
Which was then said to be the best
Of all the valleys of the west.
These broad rick acres stretched afar
With not settler anywhere;
But they invited the sons of toll
To come and own and till the soil.
So the people came from everywhere
To get them homes in this valley fair;
And the government with liberal hand
Has given to each their tract of land.
From up in the mountains lumber came
And each one was able house to claim;
Also from the mountains both posts and
wood
Were easily brought over the down hill
road.
Each broke some land and fenced field
And the soil brought forth bounteous
yield;
And all this came as a gracious gift
Which put the settlers on the road to
thrift.
The gardens too produced so good
That everyone has the best of food.
So as the years will come and go
We will sit and watch the country grow.
But now as we look the picture Ger
Some have never had a home before.
And will they be content to keep
One that has come to them so cheap?
Or will they try to sell their home
And again out Ger the world to roam?
But with no special thing inview
They will wander the country through.
And as they go; spend money and time
Not finding just their ideal cline.
They may come back here some day
Wishing they had not gone away.
For homes will then be worth so much
That they can't even small one touch;
But now they are tired, they will look
around
And rent shack and little ground.
And set to work with crippled pride
As what they make they must divide.
Wiser and sadder from lessons learned
Wen treat them good as they've re-
surnsa. ~ -H.G. BsaSosd

Santa Fe, N N, March Y. -
Prompted by what he considered
an upfriendly and critical at
titude toward him on the part OF
the department of tlle interior,
as the result Of an exchange ot
kilograms and fearing that
should this attitude be maintain
ed it would affect the success of
his administration Of affairs IN
New Mexico, Governor Curry
this morning telegraphed to
President Taft rendering his re-
signation as governor OF New
Mexico to take effect immediate
ly upon the appointment and
qualification Of his successor.
Tonight Governor Curry re-
ceived a telegram from President
Taft ftindicating that the president
had not been aware Of any crit
cism directed against him Or his
administration, assuring MIR
that he would have his full sup
port 50 long as he remained gov
ernor; that there was no desire
for any change in the adminlstra
tion in New Mexico; and suggest
ing that the president considered
the governors action hasty and
that it should be reconsidered.
The governor has been disturb
ed and annoyed for some time
past by newspaper stories which
have been sent out from Wash
ington criticising him and sug-
gesting that bis administration
had been criticized iD official
circles. Immediately following
the close Of the legislature the
governor telegraphed tofthe sec
retafy Of the interior, Mr.. Bal-
linger, requesting permission fof
leave Of absence from the terri
tory to visit Washington, desiring
to take up matters connected
with the administration of New
Mexico affairs with the secretary
and also to learn if possible the
origin Of the criticisIi referred
to. He received a Telegram n
reply from the secretary, irfdicat-
ing that permission to come TO-
Washington would be refused
and this was followed at once by
the order directing territorial
officials to remain athome unless
sent for, and directing further
that they should not come to
Washington to urge statehood or
other legislation pending before
congress. The governor consider
ed this order directedto himself;
but addressed another telegram
B II -. = - "A
to the secretary indicating that
he did not desire to take up state
hood or any other matter pending
before congress but merely to
discuss matters Of administration
in New Mexico. The reply to this
telegram was a message from
the secretary refusing the desired
permission. This Governor Curry
considered as indicating that. he
did not have the full support OF
the admnistration; that without
such support he could not cor
sistentIy continue in th2 Cover
nor S Office aud b therefore ten
dered his res gnation to the
president by wire. In letting It
be known that he had rendered
his resignation the governor de-
sired to have it distinctly under
stood that there was nothing IN
his attitude of criticism toward
the national administration OF
that he was out of harmony with
it in any way. He was only de-
sirous that his successor shoulc

Utmost 4 GERThINTy
Encouraging Report Given by Drller who is Confident Of
Reaching Artesian Flow at less than 600 Feet ffag
STOCKHOLDERS MEETING Me- XII MONDAy

At a meeting of the directors
Of the Estancia Public Service
Company held on Monday last,
the conditions in regard to the
Iwell were discussed and it was
unanimously decided to move
the derrick and put down another
well. This work win take only .
few days time to reach the rock
at a depth Of something more
than 500 feet, while more than
that much time would probably
be spent in attempting to clean
out the old hole. 1t was also de-
cided that as soon as the rock
was reached to use a drop-drill
to go through the fifteen feet Of
rock.
The directors are anything bat
discouraged, all being confident
that a clean hole, cased to the
rock, will assure an artesian flow
at less than six hundred feet.
The drill has been moved and at
the end of the first few hours
drilling, a depth Of over fifty
feet was reached. Below we give
the drillers report as to the work
on the last well. 81
Herewith / submit q report OF
work done on the wells at the A.
! j. Green homestead; /
We began drilling on the first
we'll December 10th and on the
3Oth, the well was $50 feet deep
and down to a very hard reck.
After drilling some six feet in
this rock the drill collar slipped
the thread and the drill, s inch,
was left in the well. After trying
some two weeks to recover this
drill we abandoned the well,
moved about eight feet and
started another, and on February
10th had it down 587 feet, and
on the strata of rock found in
the first well. N
On the night Of February Is
the drill stem broke 40 feet from
the bottom of the well.
In putting doyn eight inch
casing, we rotated about $40 feet
in, and the thread broke on the
second joint from the bottom, and
the break did not connect up
true, so there was a shoulass
that caught the couplings Of the
drill stem in raising it out of the
well.
When | found that the drill
stem had broken as stated above,
| sent down my four inch resdver-
ing spear and caught the broken
pipe, but in trying to draw it
out the broken casing caught it,
and caused the drill stem to slip
the threads in another joint four
lengths from the bottom and It
dropped back. These two pieces
| l succeeded in recovering but
found that the fall had broker
them loose at the coupling on the
| A inch recovering spear, which
was lodged in the first section
broken.
This section, two joints, about
40 feet, leant out from Q aperpen'
dicular, and we could not agsir
get hold of it with any tool thai
would pass down through s inch
casing.
| We then took up the s inch
casing from the break and tried
to get up the remaining two
joints and in our last effort. we
broke off . tool we had made and
attached to a piece Of thick by.

NOT AC6EPTED BY PRESIDENT TAFT

i --
Of the people as well as Of the
president.
Feeling that he had accomplish
Fed tha task for which he was
annotated the governor had
Iseriolsly considered fe3igning
the ofdce Ill The near future. He
had indicated this desire to his
friends ona number Of occasions
and it has been well known
among those enjoying his conf
,dence that he has remained in
the Office at personal sacrifice.
The legislature having adj journ-
led and the blrrit0rial administra-
I, ,tion having been Completed and
launched the Governors intention
to retire from the Office was
merely determined and fastened
by the refusal of the secretary
of the interior to allow him to
| lFiii Washington to disc1ss mat
tefs which he considered Of vital
Importance to the success Of the
administration. The refusal Of
The secretary to grant The de-
sired permission caused the
governor to feel that he did not
have the full support Of the ad-
ministration without which he
considered it impossible to sue
cessfully conduct the governors S
office and his resignation was
the result.
The announcement that the
governor had resigned came,
however. as a shock to the peo7
| ole Of the territory with whom
his administration has been popu-
laralmost from it's opening day.
The result ofrthe announcement
was a flood Of telegraph and
telephone messages from all over
the territory suggesting that his
action had been hasty andurging
that he soconsider.
The Legislature which has just
adjourned had adopted a large
number Of the governors sug
gestions for progressive and con
structiYe legislation; it had fol-
lowed his advice on many inn
poftant matters andhad confirm
led bis appointments without a
single exception BY unanimous
vote. Without appointing a sin
gle member Of the legislature to
office, thereby establishing a
precedent long needed in New
Mexico, and without using his
Office in any way to influence leg
islation, then governor had still
obtained from the assembly a
large portion Of the acts which
he considered necessary for the
progress Of the territory. His
exceptional success with legisla-
ton and the complete harmony
existing in all branches of the
Territorial government, with the
favorable prospect for its con-
ftinuance made the announcement
| of his resignation more than a
shock to the people. Prominent
men in all parts Of the territory
opened communication with the
gov nor's Office as soon as they
learaed Of the resignaion, to
III getliat il be re- considered. To
these requests the governor
ddripg the day turned a deaf
ear. The refusal Of the secretary
to allow him to visit Washington
had convinced him that he did
mot have the full backing of the
administration without which he
has always held that no executive
could satisfactorily conduct his
lofice and this had determined
him in his intention to resign at
once.
There has seldom been a more
