Land Office Rulings.

The Register and Receiver of the
U. S. Land Office at Las Cruces, N.
NJ, have received a ruling from
the General Land Office regarding
the construction Of what is known
as the enabling act passed by Con-
gress June 20, 1910, wherein it was
provided that in addition to sections
sixteen and thirty-six which had
heretofore been granted to New
Mexico for school purposes. sections
two and thirty-two in every town
hip would be added to the school
grant, thus making four sections,
namely, 2, l6, 80 and 36 in every
township which belongs to the Ter
ritory of New Mexico. The con-
struction of the enabling act, how
ever provides that only such lands
in sections 2 and 80 as were unap-
propriated and clear on the records
on the date of the act should go to
the Territory. Any lands in these
sections which were being applied
for, or on which any prospective
settler or claimant had any shadow
Of title, remains government land,
and can be appropriated under any
of the usual acts of Congress.
This means that a homestead en-.
try in Sections 2 and 80 which il
relinquished may be appropriated
as It does not become a part of the
school section upon relinquishmenI
but remains government land.
The Enabling Act provides relief
for the Territory to cover thes'
losses specifically stating that othel
lands may be selected by the Terri
tory in lieu Of the lands lost in thi
way.

LIKES MIMBRES VALLEY

DR.. p. X. Connaway is glad this
part of New Mexico got him, and
there is no doubling the fact that
any section Of the Southwest would
be glad to get any number of such
residents, 1t spells success to a re-
gion that has the natural advantage
es to attract people possessing the
Connaway brand of intelligence and
thrift. The doctor had large hold
ings in Oklahoma. but was not sat
isfed. Now he has large holdings
in New Mexico and is satisfied.
His splendid tract three miles to
the southeast will soon be one of
the great farms of the valley. Two
hundred and twenty acres in one
field, of as fine land as was ever
kissed by our perennial sunshine, is
already under the plow, and will be
a big producer this year.
His fine well is 80 #. deep with 70
# of 26-inch heavy casing, sections
of which have 40 per cent perfora-
ton. The first stratum of water i
struck in six feet of sand at 40 #.
This is followed by Ia #. of sand,
clay and gravel and s #. of coarse
gravel. Then comes 10 #. of clay,
the we'll ending in 10 #. of gravel.
The flow is easily $4,000 gallons per
hour, and like all other hig wells is
coming easier all the time.

RUSSELL'S SUCCESS

Government Land and

USED GOOD JUDGMENT
Now He Can Say to His
Many Friends, Il Told
You So."

Lee Russell took up a tract Of
land seven miles east Of the city a
couple of years ago and now he's
absolutely "tickled all over" TO
think he did. He had foresight
enough to see the great future Of
this region. He figured 1t up about
like this: Here's the best land and
the best water on earth. | can
combine the two and make a for
tune" And now you can find hun
dreds of men right here in the
Mimbres Valley who will tell you
that Lee was right.
He started in with a 300-gallon
pump. but now ii takes a l000-gal-
Ion machine. to meet his require
ments. That's the ratio of our
natural progress here.
Lee is pumping now with a Z hip.
engine at a cost Of Sl.05 per day.
He is lifting water "a #. now and
will lift about ten feet more with
a thousand-gallon flow. He has
seven acres of fine alfalfa at the
present time and is getting the
ground in shape for 30 acres more
right away. He has about a thous-
and fine apple trees. Black Ben
Davis, Gano, Mammoth Black Twig
and Yellow Transparent, besides
450 grape vines and 1900 shade
trees. Lee was offered six thous-
and elegant dollars for the quarter
section the other day but declined
with thanks. He has an adjoining
quarter section that he may dispose
of before long when he sees what
intense farming means for a single
quarter section. -
The pumping plant and equip.
ment as it stands today cost about
$500, and has increased the value of
his farm many hundred per cent.

large amount of editorial space TO
New Mexico and gives facts that
the people of the United States are
eager and anxious TO know. The
great newspaper reflects the sent-
ment of the Middle-West concern
ing this region and gives reasons
why our marvellous resources have
been so long undeveloped. Among
other good things the Inter- Ocean
says.
The fact is generally overlooked
that in New Mexico was the first
permanent settlement of white men
in the territory now embraced in
the United States. Long before
the settlement at jamestown, or the
landing of the Pilgrims on Ply
mouth Rock, colonies of Spaniards
had been established along the
northern shore Of the. Rio Grande.
Perhaps New Mexico's greatest
misfortune was that her first set
tiers were so different from those
of Virginia and New England. For
nearly three centuries the residents
of New Mexico didn't do much but
enjoy its climate. Not knowing or
caring what its resources were, they
did not try to develop them or in
terest others in them. Even today
the average American has little
realization of them.
In the first place, this baby in
our family Of states ranks fifth in
area. having $4,000 square miles,
or $4,000, 900 acres. Nearly l,00O.-
600 acres are now growing crops
under what Is known and as the dry
farming method. II has been dem
onstrated that to make 1t blossom
as the rose the soil of New Mexico
only needs water-and il is getting
tit. More than 10000 acres are
now being abnndently watered by
irrigation canals, and within the
next two years the area Of irrigated
land will be increased to over | ,000,-
600 acres. There will he 5000,
600 acres more susceptible Of irriga-
tion.

WHAT MADE
YOU DEAF?

Most cases Of deafness and head
noises are due to one cause, closure,
partial or complete Of the Eustach-
ian tubes.
In the upper throat, just back Of the
n%ostrils, these little tubes IRE situated.
They lead up into the eur Just bach of
the car drum. To hear well, these
tubes must be open. Catarrh thickens
the membranes that line the ~nostrils.
The swollen membrane not only oh
structs the ~nostrils, but it extends back
ward into the throat and closes the
ear tubes. In this way many a case Of
deafness and head noises is produced.
BY the means Of an electrical treat
ment that ! have developed the thick
cned membranes hat close the nostrils
and upper throat can be removed.
When this is accomplished the Eusta-
chan tubes are opened. the lost hearing
is restored and the hcsd noises disappear.
This explains the recovery Of the hearing
in the case Of Mr.. Dorran.
