st Louis April l4--The highest price paid for cash wheat in St. Louis in 31 years was recorded today when sales of No. 2 red winter were made at s1. 47650.
 Largely as a consequence of these market conditions, the flour industry has almost ceased locally. several mills being shut down while others are running on half time.
 Export business usually of some moment here has dwindled to practically nothing. Prices have risen steadily, the best grades going to ST today.
 Receipts of wheat have fallen to an unu- suai degree, only five thousand bushels hay .ng come In yesterday and 5000 today.

THE MATTER
OF INCORPORATION

This week the Businessmen's club
sent G. J. Wol6nger to Santa Fe
with bill prepared for presenta-
tion to the legislature, which pro-
vided, in a special act for the incor-
poration of Alamogordo under the
Commission plan of city govern
ment. Mr. Wol6nger found the
members apparently very willing to
give The City Beautiful any assist
ance necessary but it was pointed
out to him the fact that in all pro-
liability such a bill would be illegal
under some of the acts of congress
which relate to territories. That he
did right in letting the matter drop
just where it was before he went mp
to Santa Fe, there is no doubt. 1t
is now matter of Incorporating
under some of the general acts or
remaining just where we are.

MilliOnaires Coming to New
Mexico.
New

j. Van HOuten, vice presi-
dent of the st. Louis, Rocky
Mountain e. Pacific Company,
who arrived in the city this
morning, confirms the report
that j. Pierpont Morgan, d.
Ogden Mills, B. ]. Cheney and
other big Wall street financiers
have during the past few weeks
added several thousand acres of
land to their holdings in Color
ado and New Mexico and are
preparing to make their summer
homes i'll the Rocky Mountains.
This section as a result will prob.
ably become the mecca of Amer
ica's wealthy and most fashion
able citizens when taking their
vacations.
1t is understood that these in
terests are working in harmony
with W. FL. Bartlett and q
party of Chicago millionaries
who recently purchased 100000
acres of what was known as the
Maxwell grant and will make
out of that land some of the
finest game preserves in the
world. The Chicago people are
erecting a big palace in the
most beautiful spot in the pre-
serves and are laying out drives
and parks which will be unex-
celled by any in the country.
Similar work is planned by the
others, and when the plans are
completed by the syndicate of
financiers it is expected that
Morgan and his Wall street
friends will spend their vacations
in the Rockies hunting instead
of going to Europe. Denver

WATER FROM THE
MOUNTAINS SIDE.

Spokane, Wash. March-"ln-
dustries in which we are espec-
tally interested in this territory
are alfalfa and sugar beet pro-
duction and anything which will
develop and improve the system
of irrigation.
Jesus @. Sanchez of Santa Fe,
chairman of the committee on
counties and county lines of the
3Sth legislative assembly of the
territory of New Mexico, con-
veys this information in a letter
to Arthur Hooker, secretary Of
the local board of control of the
18th National Irrigation Con-
gres.
"A matter which would inter-
est US and all identified with
irrigation is the consideration of
the means of irrigation through
tunnelling into the mountain to
obtain flow of water. 1t is my
opinion that fine system of IT.
rigation could be developed by
tunnelling into the mountains
and tapping the springs that
must be in the bowels of those
piles of EARTH"
Mr.. Hooker said in comment
ing upon the foregoing that tun'
neling into the mountain sides
to obtain water for irrigation
purposes has been advocated il
various arid and semi-arid areas
in the western country and es
pecially in central north Wash
ington for years, adding that j
is likely that the problem viii
come up for discussion at thu
congress which will meet il
Spokane, Aug. 9th to 14th. 4
large delegation is expected
from New Mexico and othe
parts of the southwest.

Roosevelt's body is soon to be
buried in the jungles Of South
Africa, but his soul will keep
marching on. The reclamation
of the desert lands will continue,
the drugs and foods and COM
pounds of all kinds will continue
to carry a list of the ingredients,
the small shipper will still feel
that he has some sort of showing
with his big brother, the grafters
in the different departments will
continue in their stripes and
those who escaped them will
still wear their everlasting dis
grace; the work on the Panama
canal will not quit, Mr.. Roose-
welt has quit the White House,
but the things that he started

stopping. He is the first man to

first president to step into the
