PLAN GREAT RESORT
NEAR THIS CITY
Reported that Millions May
Be Invested Just Over
New Mexico Line.

Chicago, July 1S.-It IS reported
among railroad men here that Rock
Island officials are interested in pro-
noting a great winter resort in south
ern New Mexico not far from FL Paso
and near the II PasO & Southwestern
railroad Tentative plans that have be-
come known here among Il limited few
involve the erection of a fireproof mod
ern hotel of reinforced concrete contain
ing 300 to 500 rooms. the storing of
spring and rain water in the mountains
for pressure service, the developing of
underground water by means of pumped
wells for lrrigating a tract of 800 acres
or more Immediately surrounding the
hotel, thus creating an attractive park.
The plans also involve making several
ponds or small lakes, to be stocked with
fish and treated upon landscape garden
ING principles.
Besides the idea of having a winter
resort in the sunny southwest, it is sug-
gested in some quarters that such as
suranees have been had as to justify
the erection of the hotel to care for
certain lines of popular sport. The
plans as a whole contemplate the in
vestment of some 100000. Every
thing IS so far in a tentative stage, and
the promoters decline to give any de-
tails since they say they are trying to
secure certain necessary lands and do
not want to be held up.

TOWER OPERATOR
HAS BEEN INSANE
Coroner Investigating Rail
road Wreck Looking
Into Her Case.

Chicago, Ill, July 1S.-Discovery
yesterday that Mrs. f. A Wilcox, the
tower operator at Western Springs,
near where d wreck occurred on the
Chicago. Burlington & Quincy railroad
last Sunday, costing the lives of Is
persons. once was confined in the
Dunning asylum, caused coroner
Hoffman to summons her for investi-
gaticn tomorrow.
Mrs Wilcox will be questioned at
length by the coroner, who has an
nOunced his intention of prOlOnging
the inquiry until blame for the wreck
is fixed positively.
p : Eustis, passenger traffic man
ager of the road, yesterday issued a
statement regarding the case in which
he said in part:
ION May 20, 1911, a letter was ad-
dressed to the chief dispatcher at Au-
rOra informing him that Mrs. Wilcox
had been in an insane hospital and
that it was thought she was not right
at that time. The letter was referred
to the superintendent of the employ
ment department, who directed one OF
the company physicians at Aurora to
go to La Grange and make an inyesti-
cation, which he did, on May 81, 1911.
His report was that he called upon
Mrs. Wilcox that day and found her
in normal condition both physically
and mentally; that he had interviewed
several parties in La Grange in regard
to her and was informed that while
she was in the hospital at Dunning in
1909, she returned in a few days, as
there seemed to be no occasion what
ever for holding her there.
He was informed that i'll feeling
existed between the party who made
the complaint and Mrs. Wilcox, and
we concluded that the charge that
she was unbalanced was prompted by
malice, not an unusual thing in our
experience.
After getting these reports, the
superintendent of the employment de-
partment notified the chief dispatcher
that he was satisfied that there was
no objection to Mrs. wilcox being al
lowed to work and she was put to
work June Il, 1911. Her work has
been reported satisfactory. and the
facts regarding the accident do not
indicate any ground for criticism up
on the handling OF the tower signals,
of which she was in charge"

Aprnnd ON Terms

Before the end Of the present irri-
cation season, the Franklin irrigation
canal will be an integral part of the
Elephant Butte project At the pres
ent time it IS the property Of the Fl
PasO Valley Water Users association
Charles W Cobb, assistant attorney
general for the interior department.
has been here since Monday to make
an investigation Of the title matters
in Connection with the canal prel1m1-
nary TO executing the contract for the
sale of the property to the govern
ment.
This preliminary contract will prob
ably be signed during the the pres
ent week, the assistant attorney gen
eral says. It will be signed here and
executed in his office in Washington
1t is expected 10 have the entire mat
ter closed and the canal in control Of
the government by or before November
$50 The only hitch in the sale at the
present time is the title which is not
a matter of record but of possession
for the past % years While here Mr.
Cobb made an inspection trip down
the valley through which the canal
runs and talked with the people who
are directly interested an it
Upon his return he said that he
found the people in the valley and In
El PasO a unit in the belief that it
would be better for the United States
to make the canal a part of the gov
eminent project. As these valley land
owners are the only ones who could
dispute the title to the canal. no real
opposition to the transfer Of title is
expected by the government attorneys
The abstracts must be examined, the
surveys made by the reclamation ser
vice and the entire matter taken up
in Washington before the deal is fl
nally closed,
Before leaving Thursday Mr. Cobb
said that the government and the ca
nal owners had practically negotiated
a preliminary contract which would
probably be signed within few days.
Then, after all of the papers had been
considered the final contract would be
closed and the formal transfer Of the
canal made.
