Long hours before Kansas Democrats
from the rural voting precincts began
to arrive for the love feast, Burt Brown
of Lawrence, was on the job with a
hand full of banquet tickets. Brown is
secretary of the Democratic club and
he contributed largely to making this
years feed one of the biggest ever
held. But Brown also yearns to be sec
rotary of state in addition to making
the party feast a success The Law
renee man has an extensive following
and his popularity will likely insure n
open field for the nomination.
Thomas L. Bond, a Salina lawyer,
ana one OF the speakers at tonight's
banquet, today announced his candi-
dacy for the United States senate
against Hugh Farre1ly, of Chanute;
and Judge William Fl. Thompson, Of
Garden City. Bond has worked for his
party in the Fifth district when party
success was a shining possibility and
when its chances were several points
below par. He stayed right on the lob
and herded the little band of faithfuIs
to the polls, whether anyone on the
ticket was elected or not. Now Bond
seeks his reward.
War against instructed delegates to
the state and national conventions is
waged by the Wilson cohorts at the
party love feast. They insist that del
egateS to the conventions should not
be bound hand and feet by enbarrass-
ing instructions and will fight for free
egations-at least in the Clark ter
ritory.
Clark's friends insist that delegates
should be instructed and are already
counting the delegates they expect to
control in the Hutchinson convention
next month. They insist that Kansas
is strong for the Missourian. On the
other hand, you can And any number
of patriots who are just as certain

ment will increase after Wilson I'M

luil complemenI or WlndOWS would have done.
 To the second objection by the committee the explanation was that the windows are so high above the floor that step ladder would be necessary to reach and lock or unfasten them, but that with the pulleys on which they hang with a rod or pole they can be raised or lowered without difficulty from the floor.
 To the third objection the ex- planation was that by resolution duly adopted by former board of town trustees there had been authorization of substitution of the 24 h. p. Stover gasoline engine and pump at the stump for the 4 h. p. apparatus specified in the contract.
 To the fourth objection MT. Karns produced written authori- zation by the town engineer to reduce the pulley connecting the Gould pump with the De la Verne engine so there would be a less number of revolutions per minute than with the pulley that had been intended, which latter would have supplied all the water per minute demanded by the contract. Then a spirited discussion ensued with regard to the authority of the engi- neer to sanction such a change in the contract without direct reso- lution from the council. MT. Fitch stated that he had authorized the change upon authorization by the chairman of the water committee, as it was constituted in the old board (Mr. Watkins). He stated that Mir. Watkins had mentioned that the 10-inch line from the river was intended originally to connect with the seven inch line from the Bayze we'll at or near the cemetery, that the 7-inch pipe was old and weak, and would not stand the full pressure from the engine pumping at the river through the 10-inch pipe, for which reason he thought it better to reduce the force of the column of water, which was done by installation of a smaller pulley, matter which the engineer had authorized upon the suggestion by or authority of Mir. Watkins. The question of MT. Watkins authority in the premises was raised also, and Judge O'Connor, the town attorney, stated that while the questions raised might have some bearing as between the various departments of the town government he thought they would have no weight against MT. Karns in suit at law. The contract and the authority under which it was modified would be construed by other people, and not by the couD- cil, and that so far as MT. Karns is concerned any jury would be apt to decide in his favor under the circumstances.
 The fifth objection of the com mittee MT. Karns explained by the fact that as originally planned there were to be four places in the line where it raised some feet to cross a hill, and then dropped on the other side, making necessary an air valve at the respective apices; that the board itself had changed the course of the line so il followed up the wash in the Protc canon, making but ope summit tc

"A0hh VHO UhOH AOillIOI LII NoW Mexico, like area of land in five, equal parcels. The act provided that these grants should not be located on lands covered by other land claims or known to be mineral in character. And when located under the provisions of the act. they were to be surveyed by the surveyor general of New Mexico, who was 10 report upon their character. The five grants thus created were located, one in the extreme northeastern part of New Mexico, another in what is now Dofia Ana County, New Mexico, and third is the grant to which MT. Wright's letter refers, within the limits of Santa Cruz county. The fourth was located in what is now Bernalillo county, New Mex leo, and the fifth is in Yavapai county, Arizona, westward from. Williamson valley. Upon the Baca Float Grant No. 5, that within the present area of Santa Cruz county, the surveyor general made state ment that he could not survey and make report upon the claim owing to the unsettled condition of the country on account of the Apache Indians. Had the survey and re- port been made at that time the. location would have been rejected. because the lands were known to be mineral, in part, while mining. operations were being conducted then within the limits of the lo- cation. Moreover a part of the area of the location was covered by two other land claims, the Santa Rita grant, and the Calabasas and Tu- macacori grant, both of which were decreed afterward invalid by the Court of Private Land Claims, but their existence as claims were a bar to the operation of the Baca Float grant. As has been express ed the successors of the Bacas, be- fore endeavoring to make good their title, waited until day SO late that all those who knew of the existence of mineral within the location at the time the grant was made by Congress, in 1858, or thereabout, would be dead and gone, when they expected to siege under the law all the great area involved, including it's rich mineral lodges, because there would then be available no proof that the lands were known to be minerakin character at the time the grant was made. But they waited not quite a sufficient length of time When the investigation provided by the act of Congress creating the grant was made by the surveyor general of Arizona, some six or eight years ago, there were alive still men W ho were mining success fully in the Santa Rita mountains at the very time the act of Congress was approved, and when the sur veyor general reported that on ac- count of hostility of the Apaches he could not make survey and ex- animation; and before the surveyor general they testified to that effect.
 Some eight or nine years ago the claimants of the Baca Float grant deposited with the Land Office at Washington money to pay the cost of survey and examination, and Surveyor General Frank s. Ingalls,, at Phoenix, was instructed to pro- l l.o .f

MUNICIPAL WAFER WORKS
Accepted by the Town of NogaIes at a Meeting of the Town Council
 Monday Evening.

Monday evening the Nogales Town Board, at it's regular monthly meeting took up and considered the contract with Karns Brothers for construction of municipal water works together with report by the water committee of its own body upon the construction of the plant and pipe line, as it stood completed.
 There were present Mayor l.. w. Mix, presiding, Councilmen Bracey Curtis, J. T. Brickwood, A. A. Doherty, Otto H. Herold, w. G. Bowman. There were present also H. J. Karns & Brother, the con- tractors.
 After the usual preliminaries of a council meeting there was pre- sented and read report by the water committee of the council, setting forth various deficiencies in the plant when checked against the specifications of the contract, as determined in a recent examina. ton by that committee this week, They were as follows: a. There are not the same number of windows in the \ pump house at the Santa Cruz 4 river that the contract speci. I hes.
 I b. The windows are without I fastenings.
 4 c. For the stump there has I been installed 2 h. p. gaso- < line engine and pump; the
 contract specifies a 4 h. p. en- H zine.
 A d. The De la Verne engine K and Gould pump deliver but Il 462 gallons of water per 8 minute; the contract specifics Il 800 gallons per minute. X C. There is but one air 8 valve in the pipe line; the con- & tract provides for four. X f. The contract provides
 that wherever the pipe line is \ above the ground it shall be
 supported by buttresses of II masonry not more than thirty H feet apart or the same distance Il from solid ground under the II pipe; several failures to com # ply with the contract were M noted.
 M g. There have not been II delivered the guaranties of the
 manufacturers of the machin- & cry, nor the guaranty of the
 contractors against labor liens.

 Washington, July IS, 1912, James l.. Gillingham, Esq,

 Boston, Massachusetts.
 Sir:
 Replying to enquiry concerning the status of Watts ct al V. the Secretary, pending in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and involving title to Baca Float No 8, 1 have the honor to inform you that the case will be at issue, ready for trial in October, when the local court reconvenes. The testi- mony adduced by the plaintiffs is con- fined to exhibits of deeds puporting to show procession of such title as John s. Watts had to two of the plaintiffs, c. c. Watts and Dabney Davis. The govern ment will introduce exemplified copies of such records as it relies upon. The delays have been due to pressure of other duties, affecting plaintiffs and then affecting defendants. However, the case will be reached this fall.
 Very respectfully,
 c. Edward Wright,
 Assistant Attorney.
 While the story of the Baca Float Grant No. 8, has been told in THE OASIS before now, it has been so long since that it's repetition will be interesting to many readers, and the prospect of another step being taken toward removal of the great incubus it has been upon the development of Santa Cruz county, will give additional interest to recital of the story to those who have heard it heretofore.
 Before the Mexican War and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ceding to the United States the im- mense area comprised in the great states of New Mexico, Arizona, Cal ifornia, Nevada, Utah and part of Colorado, the Mexican govern ment had granted title to two ap- plicants for large tract of land in New Mexico, of which Arizona was a part until 1864. One of the grantors was the Pueblo (com- munity) of Las Vegas, the other was one Luis Maria Baca. Under provision of the treaty mentioned the United States was bound to recognize all land titles granted heretofore by the Mexican govern ment, and during many years the question of recognition of such titles was the province of Congress. That method proved so slow and tedious that afterwsrd Gin 1880) the Court of Private Land Claims was created and adjudicated all the land claims of that description that had not been approved by Congress, which work was com. pleted finally and the court went out of existence some fifteen years ago.
 While Arizona was yet part oi New Mexico the two conflicting claims were laid before Congress Each was pronounced valid, but both could not be confirmed as em bracing the same area of land. Sc Congress confirmed the Las Vegas claim and passed a special act authorizing the heirs of Luis Maria Baca or their assigns to locate anywhere upon the public domain
