FARMERS Of H0NDO PROJECT NEAR
ROSWELL APPEAL To j. s. FOR HELP

Washington, D. c., Aug. 29-The sec
rotary Of the interior is receiving the
most piteous appeals from the settlers
on the Hondo irrigation project in New
Mexico for such help as can possibly
be given them in their sad distress
from the lack of water to save their
crops from utter ruin at this time.
1t is difficult TO get any action on
the HondO, Or for that matter, on any
other project just at the present time.
The secretary Of the interior is now en-
gagged in making tour Of inspection
of various projects in the west, and at
this time is in the Yosemite valley in
vestigating some important matters.
The secretary expects to be in New
Mexico and Arizona sometime in Sep
TENDER, and would like to attend the
irrigation congress, II he can arrange
his business matters to be in that
vicinity at the time Of the meeting Of
that congress.
The secretary now has it marked on
his slate to visit the Rio Grande
project, the Salt River project, the
Hondo project, and others in the
southwest, but whether he can get to
inspect them all before he is called
back to Washington to attend a cabinet
meeting. and on other important bust
ness now requiring his attention here,
Is difficult TO say at the present time.
He viii do the best he can with the
limited amount Of time at his disposal.
posal.
Director Newell and the army engi-
neers are now making their inspection
trip to all the projects in the west.
1t will take from two to four months
and even then they can only give each
project a limited time for inspection,
and while they hope to reach all the
projects, it is not certain that they will
be able to do so in the time allotted to
them to do the work and be back In
this city in time to make their report
before the meeting of congress.
The people on the Hondo project only
need $4,000 or $4,000, which they be-
lieve would secure for them the greatly
desired amount of water, which, they

SEMINARY WINS OF OPEN EN-
ING GAME OI'BASKEl
BALLFRONl CITY TEAM

The opening game Of the basket
ball season was played last Wed
nesday evening between the Will
mar City and WijImar Seminary
teams. The result was rs to II
in favor Of the Seminary quint.
The game was played in the
temporary quarters which the Sem
mary has established for basket ball
in the Carver building on Pacific
Ave. This hall is not large enough
to admit many spectators and con-
sequentIy only a few people wit
messed the game After Christmas
it is hoped that the Bonde Hall
can be used which, will accommo-
date large audience.
Though the season is early, the
game last Wednesday was vivor-
Gus and hard fought battle. The
City team includes three men who
have played basket ball at the ~
Of NJ, and the other two players
are veterans Of last years great
High School team. Consequently
these men were not in a mood to
give up without a struggle, though
handicapped by not being in the
best of form or practice.
The first half went to the Semi
nary by large margin, II to 3.
The exceptional guarding df Lar
sen and W. johnson prevented the
City te: m from scoring single
field goal, while the Seminary
scored four.
The second l'elf started divas-
trously for the Seminary, tteir or~
ponents scoring three n4Id goa!s
in rapid succession Inc slump
was only temporary, however, and
the City team was prevented from
further scoring in this half. The
Seminary added six field goals to
their tally in the last half.

MATILDA OLSON FORSBERG.

MATILDA OLSON FORSBERG.
In the death of Mrs. John A.
Forsberg, which occurred Dec. /.
1910, the community looses one of
it's most respected and we'll thought
of residents.
Matilda Olson Forsberg was
born in Ronneby, Sweden, Oct, II,
1857, immigrated to this country in
1878 coming directly to this county.
where she has resided until her
death. On Dec. /, 1878, she was
married to Peter Forsberg. Five
children were born to them; George,
Fred, Bernard. Clarence and Ame-
liza. Mr.. Forsberg died April 18th,
1889. Two years later the widow
married Mr.. j. A. Forsberg, a
brother Of her former husband.
Seven children blessed this union;
Firing, Hattie. Elmer, Edith. Roy.
Melvina and Frances. Mrs. Fors-
berg Joined the Swedish Baptist
church at Lake Elizabeth 1884 of
which she was faithful member
until her death. Her last illness
dates back a year or more, but
developed seriously in March last,
when it was found that she was
afflicted with cancer. Nothing
could be done to stop the ravages of
the disease, and she sank lower and
lower. Long before her death she
realized her condition and bided
the time when her release from
suffering and pain would come.
Her Christian faith and simplicity
was remarkable, yet she expressed
herself as willing to live and battle
with life yet little while, for the
sake of her younger children, that
she might guide their footsteps in
the right and point out for them
the path that leads to a life beyond.
Her care and labour. anxiety and
struggle during her married life
were given with an unselfish desire
and love for the happiness and bet
terment of her home and family.
The last hours of her life were
hours Of suffering and pain, and
death came as a welcome guest to
the tired mother. Gently came,
as the waiting of night breeze,
the release of her spirit. The sor
rowing husband and children gath
cred with bowed heads and fearful
eyes to see the last remains of their
beloved wife and mother given
back to earth. 49,.
The interment took place. Dec.
4th, at the church cemetery where
