dOned Tor the day
Western Unions Quick Work.
The entire quota OF 80 wires of the
Western Union Telegraph company
leading north were cut down by the
explosion Luckily c. L. Mexican OF
Denver, superintendent of construction
OF the Rocky Mountain division west
of the Western Union. was at Woods
Cross with a gang OF linemen He was
informed, before the explosion took
place, that the dynamite car was in
flames Assisted by Arthur w. Long,
manager of the local office of the
Western Union, rapid transportation OF
a gang of linemen was secured for
the emergency
In an hour after the explosion the
communication with the north had been
restored, and within two hours the 81
that had been cut in two were set. The
speed with which the emergency was
handled by Mr.. Mexican and Mr.. Long
is regarded as record breaking
z. E. Harrison. local superintendent
of construction of the Bell Telephone
company, took charge of the reinstate-
ment of the broken wires of his con-
Germ leading north. With an efficient
gang of linemen. repairs were made
rapidly.
II. A. Harvey. general manager OF the
Independent Telephone company, d.
rected the gang of linemen that re-
paired and reinstated Independent
wires. 1t was almost q race between
the Bell and the Independent telephone
companies to see which could set its
posts first and have wires in opera
ton. Crowds of spectators watched
the competition with keen interest.

Senators AIdrich and EIkins that while
the Democrats on their list would vote
against the Dixon amendment, they
purpOsed later to support an amend
ment introduced by Senator Overman
of North Carolina, the effect of which
would be 10 place all rates on a mile
age basis
Such provision would be particu-
larly obnoxious to the opponents of a
long and short haul provision, and they
were unable in a hasty poll to show
a majority against the Overman
amendment.
Senator'S Carter of Montana and
SmOot of Utah, supporters of the long
and short haul provision, received
overtures from the regular Republic
ans, who offered compromise in the
form of a portion of the original Dixon
amendment and a prOviso taken frm
an amendment offered by Senator
Paynter.
Picturing the political effect Of a HUI
initiating defeat through the adoption
of an exclusively Democratic amend
ment that would put the whole cues
ton on a mileage basis, the regular
Republicans encountered little difficult
ty in bringing q large majority of the
Senate TO their way of thinking. The
compromise finally adopted was put in
the hands of Senator Smoot. and in
turn presented 10 Senator Dixon, who
offered it, as a modification of his
own amendment, just before o'clock
Through the clumsy handling of
compromise was sent to the clerk

There followed a scene of great con-

what the move meant On every side

RIGHT TIME FOR IRRIGATION
Nature Of Crop. Soil and Weather Are
Important Factors In Determin.
ing Puxziino Question.

When should water be applied? This
Is n question In which no definite an.
swer can be given, except that water
should be applied before the plant
shows signs OF distress. It therefore
follows that the time when wnter
should be applied cannot be deter.
mined by watching the plant. Thrifty
growth should characterize the plant
and crop from start to finish. Even a
small degree Of drought will induce
some plants to enter upon maturing
processes and then new moisture
supply may start an undesirable new
growth rather than promote the old

been frequently given. is to take a
handful of earth from a few inches be-

CHANGING THE FLAG
Admission of New States Causes
Rearrangement of Stars.
Change Not to Bs Made Before July 4
1e11-Present style Fixed
When Oklahoma
Came In.

Washington-With the admission o.
Arizona and New Mexico into the
Union Of states two more stars must
be added to the union or blue field OF
the national flag. Under the law the
change will not be made before July I.
1911. even should actual statehood be
accomplished before that date.
The law governing the subject IL con.
tanned In the act Of congress approved
April 4, 1918. and embodied In section
1892. Revised Statutes. That act pro
vides as follows:
"On the admission of new state
into the Union one star shall be added
to the union Of the flag. and such addi-
ton shall take effect on the 4th day Of
July then next succeeding such admis.
sion."
Since July 4. 1906. the ofhcial ar.
rangement Of the stars in the blue
field has been such as to permit the
addition Of more stars without de-
stroying the symmetry Of the design.
In none OF the acts of congress relating
to the flag has the manner Of arranging
the stars been prescribed. and before
the date named there was lack Of
uniformity In the matter.
Many flags in private use may be
seen with the stars arranged In various
ways. The early custom was to insert
the stars in parallel rows across the
blue field.
That custom. It Is believed, has
been observed in the navy. at least.
since 1918.
After July I. 1896. when Utah was
admitted to the Union. the IS stars in
the flag were arranged in six rows. the
first. third and fifth rows having eight
stars. and tho second fourth and sixth
rows seven stars. as follows:

The arrangement OF the stars to
meet the case Of Oklahoma was made
In the summer Of 1907 by joint board
Of army and navy officers. OF which Ad.
miral Dewey was the chairman by vir.

board. afterward approved by the sec
retartes OF war and navy and the presi.
dent. in turn. was that the forty-sixth,
or Oklahoma star. be placed at the
lower right.hand corner Of the blue
aeld Of the flag.
After full consideration Of the sub.
ject the board approved an arrange

IMPROVING MORALS IN CHINA
Influence Of Christian Teachings
Shown In tho Changed condi-
tIons Found There.

"The public conscience Is now be-
ing awakened upon this aspect OF pub
lie morality. Last week l was In
vited TO take part in meeting Or
ganixcd by men who are not directly
connected with any Christian church.
but who are sincerely desirous OF as
sisting In the reformation Of their
countrymen. Their purpose was to
start an antigambling league. and
with this In mind they called a public
meeting. which was attended by some
hundreds OF Chinese scholars and
business men. and resolutions were
passed in approved public meeting
style. approving Of campaign against
the gambling vice. Members OF the
Chinese Young Mems Christian asso-
citation were asked to assist in the
meeting. and to demonstrate by the
means OF games the possibility OF
recreation without vice. Suitable ad.
dresses were given by prominent Chi
nesc. and the chief organizer Of the
movement is one Of the government
education inspectors for the provinces
OF Kinngsu and Kianssi. A Chinese
Roman Catholic teacher gave q violin
solo. Chinese secretary Of the Young
Mems Christian association rendered
two Gornet solos. and a Protestant
missionary sang to the gathering. The
whole meeting was conducted in 80
orderly and orthodox fashion that It
was scarcely possible to realize how
tremendous reformation In the
whole Chinese outlook upon public
life this meeting revealed. Twenty
years. even ten years. ago such n
meeting would not have been within
the realm OF possibility. Today we
have class Of public mornlists arising
who have undoubtedly learned from
Christianity in their midst tho ideals
which they are desirous Of impressinS
upon their countrymen."

RESERVOIR IS A NECESSITY
Highly important There Be Some Re.
serve Supply Of Water for Use
In Emergencies.

(By p. FLEMING. New Mexico Agri'
cultural College)
II seldom requires more than one
seasons experience with a pumping
plant to convince the operator or
owner that a reservoir In connection
with the plant Is an eminently desir.
able T not necessary adjunct. The
pumping plant which will operate day
In and day out through the entire
season without some serious difficulty
arising has not yet been built and
these ditiiculties. frequently causing
a smut down for several days or q
week al il time quite invariably occur
when he crop is In most need Of
particularly with garden crops or
melons. may mean the loss OF the
crop and it is highly important. there
fore. that there be some reserve sup.
ply CT water against such emergen-
cies.
Ther" are also other arguments in
favor of the reservoir. among which Is
the fac, that by means OF a reservoir
1t ia possible to make use OF Il greater
head of water when irrigating than
is yieIied by the pumping plant since
the discharge OF the pump for sew
eral hours may be retained by the
reservoir and then rapidly drawn of
through good-sized ditch to the
place Of use. BY 80 doing 1t IL pos
sibe to cover larger amount OF
land with the same quantity Of water
than would be possible with small
stream. fact which every practical
irrigator recognizes. Moreover, by
use OF n reservoir 1t Is possible to ir-
rigate prohtably a much larger area
with small pumping plant than
would otherwise be possible. since the
plant may pump water into the reser.
voir In the night time and during In.
tervals between irrigations, reducing
in this way the standby expenses or
length of time during the year that
the large plant would be idle and dur.
ing which time interest charges on the
plant and depreciation keep accumu.
lating the same as though 1t were in
operation.
A reservoir suitable for the pur-
pose should not be an expensive piece
Of work. The chief consideration, Of
course. Is water tightness. but by use
Of straw or manure on the adobe bot
tom and banks. and trampling or pud.
ding thoroughly while wet by driving
sheep or goats about the basin. a very
compact water.tight surface may be
secured
Pigs are equally effective II al.
lowed to wallow in the reservoir
when II is nearly dry and q vigorous
and sufficiently long continued tramp.
ing BY men provided with rubber
boots will frequently work wonders
In preventing seepage.
Where adobe or clay Is not found
on the site It will pay to bring II
from q distance and spread a layer
six To eight inches thick over the
bottom and sides. Mix II with straw
and puddle as above described.
