El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-04-03

TENS IN time of water-shortage would fill good
sized library. Under the pumping system on the
contrary there IS certainly nothing to interfere
with neighborliness. so far as the water Is con-
cemed. If your neighbor desires to run his pump
ing plant all night, you harbor no grudge against
him for doing so; you make straight run of two
weeks, you do so at your own cost and no one Is
deprived of drop of water thereby
Underm many ditch-systems, farmers who have
already paid as much as fifty or sixty dollars per
acre for water-nght, have leaned how unde-
pendable the water-service IS, and are now putting
down irrigation wells and installing pumping
plants at an additional cost of $40 or $50 per acre
Specific instances need not be mentioned. Investi-

'.Purest Water in America

The following taken from the report from an
agricultural station in the southwest IS illummat
ing:
''The Station farm, as do other farms Ohich
prOrates, receiOes its irrigatng tOater from The
tlOo main canals of the OaIIey The amount re-
cei0ed auctuates from week to Oeek Nth the fOD
of the rioer. Following heavy rains in the lOater
shed of the riOer, the station farm in common r0ith
other farms in the OaZIey, receiOes a continuous
fow for seOeraZ days or Deeks.
During dry times ofn1any years
tUater is receiUed but feU
hours once in eight days from
each canal. 1t IS during
the periods ofsn1aILest fioW that
irrigating water is commonly
most needed. "
The case here shown Is typical of the gravity
ditch. You get the least wafer when you need it
most; you get the most water when you need 1t
least. You pay for water whether you get II or
not. On the other hand under the pumping system
IN the Mmbres Valley, you get your water just
when you need it, as long as you want it, and you
never pay for drop that you do not get.
thas passed into proverb that one never has a
neighbor and friend on ditch system. There IS
an atmosphere Of eternal suspicion. If man does
not steal water when he gets chance he IS usually
suspected of it Each thinks the other Is getting
the better Of him, and there is thus always some
thing to fuss about The wrangles, the iIl-feeling

canals of water-companies. The irngator under
ditch-system who pays, say, $3.50 per acre per
year for maintenance whether he gets any water or
not, would be only too glad to double or quad
ruple that amount if he could be assured of water
whenever he wanted it and IN as great quantity as
he desired When you double that amount you
have the fuel cost of pumping water IN the MINI
bres Valley at the average lift. But the initial cost
of the pumping plant per acre Is only One-halt or
one-third of the cost of the average water-nght
If, for instance, water-nght by pumping costs
$40 per acre, and a water-right under ditch sys-
TEN costs $50, there Is difference IN the cost OF
$40. The interest on forty dollars at the prevail
ing rate In this section Is 81 per annum. Add your
81 per annum to the ordinary maintenance charge
of $3.50, and you have $3.50, and you have a

Get the Habit
NOT FIT FOR COLLEGE GIRLS
Jane Addams' Advice to Study Vice
 Problem Meets with Opposition

Jane Addams, in her address to the ed the wish that college girls trained in psychological investigation could undertake a scientific study of the vice problem; or, in her exact words,
 employ themselves in determining 'hoW far the commercialization of the social evil is dependent upon mentally defective girls; and how far it could be controlled by regarding such girls as proper subjects for custodial care entitled to protection until they could pass certain ascertained tests dem- onstrating a normal ability for self
 direction
 Is that a proper occupation for girls
 just budding into womanhood? Per-
 hapS women of maturity and experi-
 ence could engage in it from a purely
 objective point of view. But investi- gations of the kind, if they are tC have any value, cannot be based on generalities or class room analysis They must represent the results o1 a direct examination of specific con ditions, and for that college girls are neither emotionally nor temperament tally fitted. They would inevitably expose themselves to debasing influ- ences.
 Granting that women have an equa obligation with men to investigate the social evil with a view to it's correc- tion, is it possible to suppose that in
 genuous girls can show themselves competent to solve a question the world with all it's wisdom has failed so far to solve even in part? No man would recommend this mission fol college girls, and that one of the fore
 most of women leaders should do SC is extraordinary.-New York World

EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M, June 23 -Dr. Edwin R. Shaw of Las Vegas practitioner for 30 years and a sur geOn for the Santa Fe railway most of that time, recently examined Jim Flynn and Jack Johnson, principals in this city's heavyweight championship combat July 4. He also took new measurements of the two renowned ringsters. Dr. Shaw was loud in his praise of both men. However, Flynn came in for his happiest send-off. Dr Shaw's comment on the Puebloan, giv- en under his own signature at the request of Jack Curley, follows:
 T regard Jim Flynn as one of the most magnificent specimens of physi- cal development I have ever exam ined. His eyesight is normal; his heart and lungs normal in every par ticular; likewise his abdominal or gans. In fact. I do not find flaw in the man in any particular at all He seems to have wonderful en- durance, the altitude not affecting him in the least. and he certainly ought to be able to withstand a great uedI Ol
 Dr. Shaw went further, and really told it all, when he stated that Flynn was a veritable iron man." The dis tinguished practitioner has examined a lot of famous characters in the col lege athletic world. Then, Flynn and Johnson are not the first two Queens berry gladiatOrs to come under his notice He examined the white chal- lenger and the dusky champion Sat urday June 15. He took Flynn some 30 minutes after the fireman completed his hours rapid work-ou in the Montezuma training camp. Dr Shaw got Johnson an hour later about an hour and one-half after Lfl Artha wound up his matinee.
 Dr. Shaw found JohnSons heart lungs and abdominal organs in per fectly healthy condition. However, he clares that the champions chest ex- pansion is not up to the standard and state that it leads one to feal lack of endurance. In as many words Dr. Shaw declares that if Johnson is to whip Flynn on the Fourth anC hold on to his crown he has got tC do a comparatively quick job, as h. does not like the negro's wind" ant doubts the big blacks ability t weather the milling should the figh become a fight and should the round begin rolling into the double figures

Slaughter of Stray Dogs to Begin on
 July the 10th.

For the first time in several years the dog tax ordinance wifi go into ef- feet on the tenth of the coming month instead Of later. Marshal M. c. Brown ing last Friday received a consignment of the tags and now has them ready for distribution to those caring to for felt the usual amount of money. An exact price has not yet been arrived at by the council but it will be set at the next meeting. It is probable that a slight change will be made from the usual taxation. But those caring to get in early and avoid the rush can secure the tags today or any time in the future from the Marshall.
 It is the intention this year of the council to get rid of all stray canines which have no home for it is certain that both the dogs and the general pub lie will be better off. Most of those stray dogs are always half starved and are bothering around the back doors of dwellings hunting for the garbage. When they find it, the usual commo- tiOn of tipping it over and spreading the contents all over the ground is the result. Most people think too, that the dogs themselves will be better off if they are put out of commission and no longer allowed to be the target of some miscreant who cares for nothing more than to kill them.
 On the tenth day of July the slaugh- ter will commence by an experienced dog catcher and if necessary he will be accompanied by the police as they are in some places. All those desiring to keep their pets should pay a visit to the marshal previous to that date.

LOOKING FOR LOST PARTNER

A. k. Jenkins was in Mesa yester- day, making inquiries as to the re- ported finding of a man drowned in the Salt river. Some time since a packed burro was found by l.. A. Norton along the Roosevelt road and no owner could be located. It trans pires that the man who had had charge of the burrO was MT Jenkins prospecting partner, named Frank Harbin. Harbin had started for the mountains and has not been heard of since the burro was found and rec ogniZed as the one he had when he left the valley. MT. Jenkins has no doubt that MT. Harbin drowned while trying to cross the river. So far as known no trace of the body has been found and it may have been carried into one of the canyons through which the Salt flows and lodged at some point where the river is inac- cessible. Should any body be found in the river MT. Jenkins, whose post office address is Phoenix, would like to be informed at once.

 An amusing situation arose in the court of Justice Adams Saturday morning when Francisco Encinas was
 brought to trial on the charge of at tempting to rob one of his fellow
 countrymen in Winkelman a few days ago. The accused feigned complete ignorance of the English language and Deputy Nash brought in another Mex ican whom he thought could qualify as interpreter After much difficulty and slow progress with the case the prisoner seemed to grow impatient and to the surprise of the court and all present proceeded to conduct his defense in perfectly good English. Evidence, however. was sufficiently damaging to bind him over to the grand jury.

WORKING ON SUNDAY.

It is not very often that threshers can be found at work In this vicinity on Sunday but such was the case yes terday. All of the farmers are unus ually anxious to get their grain in on account cf the rainy weather appear ances which have been surrounding this country the past three or four days. There still remains great quantity of grain both stacked and in the field that would be almost com pletely spoiled should it happen to rain Every available machine is now work ing six days out of the week and one or two of them seven but it appears that even then it is impossible to catch np on the harvesting. From all present indications this is going to be the best season the farmers have enjoyed for some years pat.
