undecided whether the proceedings

Washington, Jan. 3.--Following a
forenoon conference with presidents OF
six OF the great railroad systems OF
the country. President Taft late this
afternoon announced 4 change of pro-
gram in the sending of his message
dealing with Interstate commerce
and antitrust law amendments to con-
gress. The message will be split in
to two parts. The section dealing
with the interstate commerce law, in
which railroads are directly interested,
will be deferred until Friday. The
presidents special message on the
conservation of natural resources is
expected to be ready for congress on
Monday
Soon after the railroad presidents
had left the White House it was an
nounced that the president still hoped
to have his message ready for con-
gress on Monday. 1t had been his orig
inal Intention to treat together the two
subjects of interstate commerce and
antitrust amendments. 1t was said
late this afternoon that the message
probably would receive greater atten-
ton If divided into two parts, neither
of more than 1000 words. AS re-
suit of the call of the railroad presi-
dents it was said that only a few
verbal changes would be made in the
message dealing with the interstate
commerce law, and that these would
make the presidents position more
clear
Considsrate.
President Taft found the railroad
men most considerate in presenting
their views. While dcprecating the
idea of any legislation at all at this
time. when, they declared. conditions
in the railroad and Industrial worlds
are righting themselves after two years
of depression. they did not seek 10
deter the president from sending his
message. They devoted themselves to
mere or less specific objections to the
bill, prepared by Attorney General
Wickersham, which forms the text of
the message.
The president, it is declared, will not
attempt to force the Wickersham or
any other bill upon congress. He vii,
say in his message that such bill
has been drafted and is at the dis
posal of congress.
The railroad presidents admitted
that their objections to the proposed
amendments to the Interstate COM
merce act were general in their ap-
piieatlon to all tine amendments. The
president, how ever. made his position
clear to J. p. Morgan in a brief in
tervicw last Friday morning. Mr.. Nor
gan in turn arranged for today's con-
ference and advised the railroad men
to con:ine themselves to suggestions of

NEW ARTESIAN WE'LL
FIELD AT PECOS
Water Flow Increases Con
stantly-C Companies Plan
Prospecting.

Pecos, Texas, July 16.-Ah new arte-
sian well field has been discovered on
the ranch of Prof. W. c. Welborn, 20
miles south Of Pecos. The flow of water
has been constantly increasing in vol
ume.
This find proves over 200 square miles
in this section to be underlaid with
water which rises in the wells to such a
height as to make pumping practicable,
or will flow of its own accord.
Prof. Welborn irrigates the greater
part of his property with the waters
of Toyah creek, but in desire TO test
his theory that the territory was I'M
derlaid with water which would flow,
the well was sunk. The welHwill irri-
gate, perhaps, 120 acres.
The depth of the artesian wells in the
lower Pecos valley being less than $50
feet bring all within the limit of cost
Tor general use, and SEVERAL strong
companies are now drilling and arrang-
ing TO drill numbers of wells for pump
ing propositions. 1t is thought that
within two years the irrigated lands of
reeves county will be increased $4,000
acres by arteSian water supply.
Large numbers of small tracts are be-
ing sold to settlers who will put down
their own wells. and operate small, in
dependent pumping stations
