Moving Sheep North.

Dr. Henry Cooper returned Mon- day evening from the lower coun- try. At Prescott he found news- paper reporters irresponsible, and the Jorunal. Miner has the follow Ing:
 "H Cooper, sheep owner, passed through Prescott yesterday. after an inspection of hls flocks in the southern part of the country. Many of the sheepmen are driving back to Date Creek. owing to the scarcity of feed on the range. Mir. Cooper, however does not anticipate any serious loss to the industry.

we'll is only a small one, about
1870 feet deep, with a small pump
and gasoline engine to lift the
water. But that it does the work
is proven beond a doubt. Were it
possible for our farmert gener-
ally to secure the means to put
in private pumping plants, this
indeed would solve the irrigation
question. AS this is out of the
question we must work together
for the benefit of all concerned,
and arrange for some system to
secure means for irrigation on
a larger plan.

Legislative AppOrtionment

In the apportionment for legis-
lative purposes the following
counties are each given one SEN
ator: Bernalillo, Mckinley, San
ta Fe, Valencia, Grant, Colfax,
Rio Arriba, San Miguel, Chaves,
Roosevelt, Dona Ana, Taos, So
zorro, Eddy, Quay, Curry.
Fractional representation in the
senat will be as follows: Union
and Colfax, one senator; Rio Ar
riba and Sandoval, one; San Mi
guel and Hora, one; Guadalupe
and San Miguel, one; Bernallllo,
Sandoval, San Juan and Rio Ar
riba, one; Torrance, Otero, Lin
coin, and Socorro, one; Sierra,
Valer cia, Luna and Socorro, one;
Otero and Lincoln, one. It is the
understanding that the senator
from Sandoval and Bernalillo
will be selected from Bernalillo,
thus in effect giving the latter
county two senators. This
arrangement does not meet with
the entire approval of the men
from Rerralillo, and they are
nal ng a fight before the com
mittee ior an apportionment
when will give Bernalillo an in
terest in three senators. Ii this
idea meets with the approval OF
the committee, and the conven-
ton, the districts affected will be
as follows: Bernalillo, one sen
ator; Bernalillo and Sandoval,
one; Rio Arriba, one senator;
Bernalillo, Sandoval and SanJuan,
one senator. The apportionment
for the house of representatives
which gives at least one member
to each county, seems to meet
with general satisfaction.

The vote on direct legislation

want direct legislation, but evil
IDENTIFY the people did some think

lined up against the people, as
usual, and did heroic work for
their master, the bosses. The fol-

Denver, Colo, Oct. II. 1910
Dear Sir:-You are no doubt
aware that the present extra ses-
sion of the legislation has passed
an initiative and referendum bill
for submission and will be voted
upon at our next election, Nov, 8.
This is the most dangerous
legislation that has ever been in
troduced, so far as our interests
are concerned. 1t is important
that every person connected with
the liquor business not only see
that he and his family vote
against the amendment, but that
he do all the work possible
among his friends for the defeat
of this amendment.
The chances are that not over
so per cent of the people who
vote will take the trouble to vote
on his amendment. We believe
that by concerted action among
our people, and every one of
them working and voting against
this amendment, that we may be
able to defeat the bill.
with the initiative and refer
endum on our statutes it is un-
necessary to take any legislation
before the legislature, but it can
be brought up by petition.

IRRIGATION
WILL, WIN

District are now ready for sigma
lures, copies Of the same may be
found at the News office, at the
Drug Store, Brumback's, H. G..
Souders and J. j. Smith.
In conversation with some Of
the farmers this week, it was
learned that the proposition is
not understood''by all, several be
ing under.the impression that the
land is to be mortgaged There
will be no mortgage of any kind
against the land, under the dis
trict organization, the bonds be-
ing issued the same as school
bonds are and do not encumher
the land any more than do school
bonds. Everybody knows that
in buying and selling land, no
one stops to ask what amount OF
school bonds are outstanding in
the district, and neither willany
one think Of asking about lrrlga
ton bonds, as these are not con-
sidered an encumbrance.
AS to the amount Of bonds to
be issued, this matter will be de
cided by a vote Of the resident
freeholders, who are legal voters
and have paid property tax,
within the district. The estimate
of seven dollars and a half per
acre has been suggested as being
sufficient to cover the necessary
expens to be entailed.
In proof Of this fact, the fol
lowing figures will prove Of inter
est. These figures have been Sc
cured from one Of the largest
manufacturers in the country
and may be relied upon as cor
rect, any discussion by wise
heads to the contrary notwith-
standing.
The cost of Il 1O-horse power
motor in Estancia will not ex-
ceed $500, while that of a seven
and a half horse power motor will
not exceed SITS, A forty horse
power transformer will cost not
to exceed $3.50 in Estancia. A
meter, not to exceed $4,000. The
transformer can be made to an
swer for four farmers, so that
the cost to each viii be $3.50.
24O miles Of feeder lines and 30
miles of main line will cost not
to exceed $4,000 or $500 for
each eighty acre tract. So the
cost on each eighty acre tract
will be something like this;
10 H. P Motor, SzO0.O0
Transformer, 0l,5O
Meter, 2o'oO
Line, 3OOOO
Expense of organization IL. SO
$6OO00
This will leave six hundred dol
lars for the well and pump, which
is certainly ample, This will
supply WELL pump and motor
large enough TO supplp water for
eighty acres, Provided of course
the water is to be had. Now 1876
gallons per minute for LAS days
will furnish 50 acref feet Of
water. SO that any 200 gallon
will supply the water; if a re-
seivoir is used.
Now the total expense the
farmer will be to, in regard to
the bonds at $3.50 per acre is:
Bonds of $1,000 at 6 per cent. in
terest to run for twenty years,
The principal and interest on
this amount will be 1920 to be
paid during the twenty years,
or little less than one hundred
dollars per year.
Comparing this proposition with
the installation cost of any other
proposition presented to the
people, will show that it is away
better in every way. Another
item worth considering is the
fact that the land'is free of any
mortgage, and should the farmer
