WANTING IN

Up and down and across. the stock holders of the Mesa and Utah and Tempe canals have Iabored and dis
 cussed with each other the advisabil- ity of going into the Water Users association, with greater pr less re- suits. There are q good many men
 who have been against the proposi- tion. although they have voted for it. However, there is one class of land
 owners who are putting forth every
 effort to get under the wing of the Water Users association. and that Is, those owning land which comprises the narrow strip between the old
 Highland and the Eastern canal. It is d well known fact that all land between the two canals at the upper end has, of course. never been watered
 as well as a considerable acre age un- der the old Highland However, the issue at the present time is to get the land between the two canals.

 Eastern instead of the Highland canal There are good many reasons why the land owners under the Eastern and having some land to the west of the Highland have reasons for asking to become members of the association

 would be able to redeem the govern

 commencement of the construction

 However. upon the visit of Secretary
 Ballinger to this place. it was decided
 that the government scrip was an
 illegal process and he stopped the is-
 suance. In the meantime the govern

 satisfied the contract price for the construction of the canal. and MT

WERE DROWNED IN
 AN ABANDONED WELL
Reported Fate of Two Indians On
 Sacaton Reservation.

The report was brought to the city Wednesday to the effect that two h. dians had lost their lives at the bot tom of an abandoned well some place on the Sacaton reservation. The re- port was very meager and even the names of the unfortunate parties could not be learned. However. yes terday morning a number of the In- dians came in from the reservation and an interpreter was found in the person of Mir. Valenzuela of the Salt River valley settlement. who hunted up the desired information.
 According to Mir. Valenzuela. the accident occurred at Blackwater, about nine miles from Sacaton. or thirty-five miles south and east of Mesa, last Saturday It appears that the Indians. Juan Antone and Jose Lewis. had gone to an abandoned well near the river. with the idea of cleaning out the debris and mud. on. of the Indians slid down q rope. which lacked several feet of touching the water. The water in the well was the man at the bottom of the well p'6di l'i ft S''h come evident to the man at the top that he must cither' rescue his fellow workman at the bottom of the well or he would drowp, and he accord ingly began d rapid descent on the rope. When he reached the end of the rope he sought to hold on with one hand and grasp the drowning man with the other. but in his strug- gle he also slipped into the water below and both men were drowned. The Indians soon gathered around the well. and on Sunday last. by the use of additional ropes. succeeded in extricating the bodies from the mire and water. The funeral was held Monday on the reservation. The opin- ion is held that what is known as miners gas or in other words. damp. existed in the bottom of the well. which had not been in use for some time, and which was in reality responsible for the men not being able to help themselves out of the mire.

mr. Fergusscn's Answer.
EDITOR TRIBUNE CITIZEN:

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Dec. q
Gov. K. S. Stoper sees fit, in tic
Morning Journal OF this date, to
attack my position with reference
to the immediate sale Of our public
sci ool lands. as III effect provided
IN tlis constitution now before the
deople for adoption or rejection.
The honorable gentleman accuses
me Of ignorance or suppression Of
truth. Perhaps his III nature ia at
tribatable to bis own plight. His
loud profession to progressive pre-
visions in our constitution, such as
the initiative, referendum etc,
caused the defeat, as nominees Of
his own party, for delegates to tho
constitutional convention, of such
able men as Judge Mann and Frank
W. Clancy, who frankl ANNOUNCED
their opposition to those principles.
Would their selection have resulted
IN any more reactlonary a constitu-
ton than that?
do not believe it ia wise for the
new state, like young speudtLrift
just come into great inheritance,
to placs on sale at once the eight
millions OF more of acres of public
school lands embraced in sections
rs, SO, 2 and 32 or lands that NAV
be selected in lieu of any part of
tAe same that may have heretofore
been sold by the government.
This position of mine is based
partly upon distrust Of the record
OF the men who dictated the max
ing of this constitution, who have
ruled the legislatures, at least OF
this territory for years past, and
who will under our old election laws
rule the new state for years to
come. No initiative to give an ed.
ucated, honest public opinion a
voice in administering these lands;
no practicable referendum to ena-
BILE this public opinion to correct
anything these plant, controllable
legislatures might do wrong; no
primary election law, to break the
power of these bosses over the peo-
ple's representatives In power; no
safeguards for the people or for the
public interests in this corporation
made constitution.
| am partly moved to my course
also by the fact that 1t is not neces-
,ary to sell these school sections
right away. The leasing of them
or ten or more years will bring
'eady money for the use of our pub
io Schools But, il addition to
hat, there is made In the enabling
lct of congress a donation of one
million acres of land, 10 be selected
oy the state, to pay the debts OF
Santa Fe and Grant counties,
amounting, tits understood, toabout
me million dollars. This one mill
ion dollars is debt whica the
tate must assume; and of course it
s everyhody's desire to pay off as
Iuickly as possible. Now the act OF
congress provides that after such
lebt is paid from the proceeds of
he sale of said million acres, the
balance OF the proceeds thereof shall
become part of the public school

exclaimed, half aloud; then she went
to the parlor door and listened.
But, hearing nothing. she said to her

Ten minute later Mrs. Durham was
reading the wonderful letter to her

rejoiced for their niece. At tea time
