The Fort Sumner review., 1911-07-15

AluonUlOn mas Deen called TO
the consolidation of the Urton
Lake Project, one of the projects
on which the United States eX-
pended a large sum Of money in
perfecting plans, with the Alamo
Project, which filings were made
by D. J. McCanne for the pur-
pose of irrigating 100000 acres
along the line of the Santa Fe
system around Fort Sumner
By a decision of the Territorial
Water Board, rendered March 81,
1911, these two projects were
approved as one, granting the
right to store in reservoirs on the
Pecos river 300, ZOO acre feet an
nually, for the purpose of irriga-
ting $4,000 acres of land.
This decision is made after
carefully considering the availa-
bic water supply which may be
secured from 5, 100 square miles
of drainage tributary to its sys-
tenn of reservoirs.
Within thirty days after this
decision, the United States relin-
pushed its claim to these waters.
and on June 5th, the Territorial
Engineer gave notice that the
sixty days had elapsed wherein
any appeal could be taken and
that the applicant should pro-
ceed to perfect their plans.
Territorial Engineer Miller has
just completed a very careful
inspection of the two projects
and expresses his preference for
the development of the Alamo
Project. The owners of the two
filings are now losing no time in
perfecting their organization,
and have already a representa-
tive in Europe to open negotia-
tions preparatory to financing
the project.
This project is to be colonized
under the Carey Act, under
which any citizen of the United
States, of lawful age, except a
married woman having a husband
living, may enter 1G0 acres or
less, upon contracting with the
irrigation company for the water
at a price to be fixed by the
state ($60 to $75 per acre. to be
paid in ten annual payments at
six per cent, and 25 cents per
acre at the time of filing and 25
cents per acre at the time
proof is made.
These lands are practically the
same as those under the Fort
Sumner canal, which is worth
5000 per acre as fast as they are
seeded to alfalfa and orchards
well started on them.
The demonstration made on
5000 acres under the TT. Sumner
canal, in the center of this 150,-
900 acres proves the value of
these lands and removes the
doubt and speculation which
often has to be overcome by
years of experimental work.

FOUND YOUNG WILDCATS AT
SILVER CITY

The young son of J. F. Smith
is the proud possessor of a litter
of young wild cats. While out
hunting about five miles north of
town last week young Smith got
a shot at a bobcat. The animal,
scared at the shot and perhaps
wounded, ran off, leaving her
three young ones behind. They
were brought to town and so far
have proven very interesting
pets though not at all disposed
to be friendly.

COUNTY HAS TWO CAPlToLS.
Legal SquabbIe Arises That May Go
to Supreme Court.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Nav 90
Murray county has two court houses
which have been presented the coun-
ty free of cost to the taxpayers, but
is indulging in a controversy over
which one will be accepted, accord
ing to information presented in an
appeal taken to the supreme court
from a decision of the district court.
The lower court dissolved an in
junction against removal from the
present court house.
J. c. Chidey and other citizens filed
petition in the lower court alleging
that the county commissioners award
ed a contract to a construction COM
pany to construct a free" court
house to cost 100000, and that the
plaintiffs made private contributions
to the construction company, so that
the free" contract could be carried
out. The citizens furnishing the
money claimed that the commission
ers accepted the building and took
possession and spent several hundred
dollars Of the taxpayers money in
improving the grounds and highways
around the court house.
Certain citizens who were opposed
to the proposition filed a referendum
petition for an election as to the
action of the commissioners in accept
ing the building. but it is alleged
that the county clerk refused to call
the election and the citizens in Ques-
ton appealed to the courts. This
proceeding is still pei ding.
Following the action the plaintiffs
allege the county commissioners at
tempted to remove from the building
into another court house that had
also been furnished free to the coun.
ty, in order, it is alleged, to de-
proposition. The plaintiffs in the ac.
ton filed suit to enjoin the removal.
A temporary injunction was grant
ed but later dissolved by the court,
on the grounds that the quarters
then occupied by the court were in.
adequate. The court also ordered the
commissioners to move to the new
location. The plaintiffs below then
appealed to the supreme court from
the order vacating the injunction.
