Big IRRIGATION
PROJECT PLANNED

Regent, N. D., Sept. S.-The COM
mercIal club of this city has shown
its progressive spirit in a very prac-
tical and laudable manner, by its
recent decision to construct an irriga-
ton project on the bottom lands Of
the Cannon Ball river. adjoining town.
They have made arrangements for
the lease Of about thirty acres Of land
and will install a centrifugal pump
with a capacity of 1900 gallons Of
water per minute raising the water
from the river with a gasoline trac-
ton, about IL III. p. being required
for the work.
State Engineer Atkinson recently
laid out the bitches and advised the
immediate installation of the pump
and the irrigation of the land in the
latter part Of October or the first OF
November as in his Judgment, If the
land is filled with water this fall 1t
will be in much better condition for
breaking and seeding in the early
spring.
The land on which the irrigation
VIII gG G1AC 10 GA GlADA OhNA pAcbAhACF
and the irrigation demonstration
which will be shown will be very val
liable to the farmers OF the county
and to everyone along the Cannon
Ball river, and will show fully the
great benefits to be derived by using
irrigation water on the land wherever
it is possible to do so,
It is the intention of the CONNER
cial club to make one of their mem
bers manager Of the proposition, and
through him strict account will be
kept Of the cost Of developing the
project, the cost to deliver the water
on the land and the profit per acre.
A considerable portion OF this irri-
gated land will be seeded to flax which
will be cultivated in the same manner
as the irrigated land with the excep-
ton that no water will be applied.
This will demonstrate very fully the
difference in yield between the irri-
gated and non irrigated land; they
win have very valuable information
to give to the farmers along the en-
tire Cannon Ball country.
In addition to the fax which will
be seeded there win be q few acres
put into potatoes, some OF which viii
be irrigated and some non-irrigated
They will also seed about one acre OF
garden truck, 50 that a complete dem
cnstration farm will be carried or
for the next few years.
State Engineer Atkinson is very
confident that from this first years
crop the commercial club will receiv,
sufficient returns to not only pay tn,
cost Of the development project bu
a good profit besides.
The enthusiasm shown by the repre-
sentative men of the city In this worl
is very marked, and good results ar,
sure to be obtained tnerefrom. In adj
dition TO the irrigation work and dem
onstration farm, they are also hold
| ing farmers meetings and advising
| the farmers the best methods OF cul
| tivation and rotation Of crops, ant
such activity In this direction IL bount
| TO bring about better farming meth
DDS. which will bring greater ffnancia
returns to the farmers and to the city

Has Taken over
RdlIrO0dPrOD6rtU

The provisional government
has taken over the property of
the National railways out of
Juarez, confscating the line as
far south as the insurrectos' ter
ritory extends. This occurred
Tuesday.
A few days ago Frank C.
Mentzer, local superintendent of
the line, was requested to begin
construction of the destroyed
line between Ciudad Juarez and
the city of Chihuahua. The in
surrectos desired a prompt re-
pairing of the line, with the pos
sibility of moving troops south in
an attack on the state capital.
Mr.. Mentzer, after communi-
eating with his general offices in
Mexico City, refused the request.
Then a peremptory demand was
made by Abram Gonzalez, chief
of the local military zone, and the
railway man was given until a
certain hour yesterday to an
swer. He again answered in the
negative, and the road was con-
fiscated.
Assisted by some former en-
ployes of the line, the provisional
government VIII Immediately be-

WILL, ROGERS
PLEADS GUILTY
Kidnapper is Arraigned in District Court
Looses Control Of Voice and is Promp=
ted by Counsel when making Plea.

Las Vegas, May 18-Will Ro
gers, was today arraigned befor'
Judge Roberts in the district cour
here on the charge of unlawful
ly entering the house of his bro
ther and criminally assaulting hi:
sister-in-law, pleading guilty t.
the charge, There were severa
indictments against!him and Joe
Virgins covering all phases OF
the famous kidnapping case or
Marchs 20, when little Waldo
Rogers was taken from his
mother at her home in this city,
and later released, on. the payment
of a ransom of twelve thousand
dollars.
Virgins, who was arraigned at
the same.time, pleaded not guilty
claiming. that Rogers was respon,
sible for the whole trouble. As
Virgins had no funds with which
to procure counsel for his defenst
the court appointed Attorney
Veeder to look after his defense
Just when the case will be called
for trial is not known, but II is
expected that it will be before
the end Of this term of court.
Sentence was not pronounced
on Rogers, after his plea of gull
ty. When arraigned, Rogers,
stood before the court, his voice
SO feeble and indistinct that
Judge Roberts was forced to lean
forward to catch the words being
spoken. And it was necessary
for his counsel to prompt him
during his plea.
Interestin this case is intense,
the courtroom being crowded
when the prisoners were calico
for arraignment. Both Rogers
and Virgins are carefully guard

no one is allowed to speak t

Santa F6 Will
R6Ou|dt6 Saloons

Santa Fe is making an effort to
regulate" her saloons. An or
dinance was passed on fTstread-
ing by the council Tuesday night,
which it is claimed will do the
work, While it may apparently
regulate" them, it will be a
wonder in the way Of ordinances
if it really accomplishes its object.
The best way to regulate a poison
is to eradicate it. Says the New
Mexican;
The ordinance makes closing
at!midnight mandatory, except
on Saturday nights when the
hour is to be 2 a. m. On Sundays
during the hours that saloons
will be closed under the ordinance
all curtains must be up and all
obstructions to a view of the in
terror Of the saloon, must be re-
moved, thus putting an effective
stop to the Sunday traffic.
A special license fee of $500. a
year is placed on music in saloon
and the sale of intoxicants to
minors is to be stamped out eff
fectively. 1t is a model ordinace
and its passage will serve much
to satisfy those who demand q
strict regulation of the saloon
business.

RECORD Hf TER
INFORMATION

Yesterdays Willard Record,
under the caption THE Estancia
Herald Good Dodger," asks
that paper some very pertinent
questions, to which the latter re-
plies by lodging. Among the
questions submitted are:
If these gentlemen (referring
to the county commissioners are
so conservating of the county
funds why was this tax list not
let to the lowest bidder?
What right have the county
commissioners to pay $625. So for
the English printing of the tax
lists, when the same could have
been done both in English and
Spanish at nearly the same price
if let to the lowest bidder?
If you can print the tax lists
in Spanish at a 43 per cent dis
count why not the English at the
same or less as it requires no
translation?
If it were not necessary to bid
on this work why did you give a
43 per cent discount when the
News was only giving 20?
If these gentlemen are all you
claim, and fully competent to act
as county commissioners, why
do they let contracts for county
work without calling for bids as
required by law?
How do you explain the fact
that the Herald now has the
Spanish printing when the COM
missioners at their first meeting
inJanuary stated they positively
could not take the Spanish print
ing from the News on account
Of their having failed to call for
bids for the present year?

CRAWFORD A GREAT MAN
m the Worlds Work.

FrOn the w OTlu WOIk.
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company is a great company and its president, MT. George Gordon Crawford, is a great man. Prof. Edwin Mims, in the December Worlds Work, says he has a way of cutting off corners and of turn ing to account all wastes and scraps in a way that has never before been char acteristic of the south. He has outlined plans looking to the development of di- versifed steel plants, which will con tribute still further to the prosperity of The Birmingham district. A $3,500,00o by product coke oven plant, which is to pro- duce $500 to 1000 tons of coke day and which besides will conserve such by products as gas, ammonia, and tar, is now nearing completion. The American Steel and Wire company, another subsid- iary company of the Steel corporation, is Just finishing plant capitalized at s4,000,. GOO and intended for the manufacture o nai.s, staples and various kinds of wire The product of this plant will amount to 45O tons a day and will call for 15o0 skilled employees. The Universal Cement com pany is now manufacturing Portland ce ment from the slag of the iron furnaces If Ensley-another illustration of the utilization of waste products.
