AS a result of the efforts of Ter
ritorial Engineer C. D. Miller to settle
certain irrigation difficulties in San
Juan county. and about which an all
day session was held here some time
ago with representatives from San
Juan county present. A satisfactory
agreement seems to have been reach
ed.
The Aztec Irrigation Company,
which asked 25O second feet OF water
diverted from the Eden canal heading
into New Mexico, was granted this
change of diversion. The balance of
the old Eden appropriation of $50 sec
ond feet was relinquished to the ter
ritory by the appropriations.

Hollister interests agree to meet and
plan consolidation of their ditch
projects, and not to protect the Orch
ard water filing made by C. W. Thur
niger.
The orchard Irrigation district asks
for 56 feet of water in addition to the
Thuringer filing.
Work on these different projects is
to start without unnecessary delay.
OF this settlement the Aztec Index
says:
Hats off to Territorial Engineer
Miller. He has been largely instru-
mental in settling the water difficult
ties of San Juan county by the meet
ing of water appropriations which he
held at Santa Fe early this month.
Representatives of the Aztec Irriga-
ton Co., Burke & Furman, Turley
& Hollister and the Orchard Irriga.
tion district met in the Office of the
territorial engineer, who in substance
said: San Juan county has ample
water for the reclamation of several
times the area now in cultivation but
irrigation construction work has been
held up by rival claims to water and
some compromise must be reached by
these claimants that will do justice to
all and at the same time guarantee
the speedy construction of much de
sired irrigation works."

Gable has returned from his trip to
Las Vegas. Ration and elsewhere to
dispose Of the .elks brought to the
territory for propagation. Mr. Gable
said today that three cows and a bull
had been unloaded at Ration and
placed at the head of the Red river
Z at Potato canon where they were
kept two or three days in the pasture
of W. H. Smith and then released in
the mountains. With these elks was

calf born en- route was lost and not

Another bunch of elks was sent to

Eurraca ranch owned by George H.

sent to point above Hot Springs in
Gallinas canon and will be held in
corral by Max Nordhaus until they

of several large harda which will
