HOME INDUSTRY

In this issue will be found the
advertisement of P. F. Murray
of Willard, who is trying to es-
tablish a soap making industry.
He is an expert in the business,
and with the natural products at
hand to enhance the utility of his
output will no doubt produce a
highly meritorious article. Home
enterprises of all kinds should be
encouraged, and it costs but a
trifle to give Mr.. Murray S article
a trial.

Old Juan Manche, a Ute of
noble tribal blood who owns one
of the finest Indian land allot-
ments on the Piedra, went over
to Col. Bill Chockley's place the
other day begging for some hay
and vegetables.
After loading up as the result
of Col. Bill's generosity, the Col.
asked the old redskin why. hav
ing such a fine place in the way
of land, water and government
built bitches, he did not raise
his own provender.
The old aboriginal philosopher
earnestly and soberly replied;
"Squaw heap d-n lazy"
1t is needless to say that old
Juan Manche is an anti suffra-
gette. .-Pagosa Springs Sun.
Yes, and from what one may
observe in the San Juan, it is a
safe bet that several of our resi-
dents have wives who must be
heap d-n lazy" if the appear
ance of the property belonging
to their men is any criterion. -

M'REYNOLDS
HAS AN INNING

San Francisco, July CLAY
ton Harrington, Investigator fol
the United States department o1
justice, with headquarters ir
this city, was dismissed from the
federal service by Attorney Gen,
eral McReynolds today. Judge
Harrington had been under sus-
pension since early last week for
having telegraphed to President
Wilson a demand that the attor-
ney general be ousted from Office
because Of the action he took in
the Diggs- Caminetti and Western
Fuel company cases, which re-
suited in the resignation of Unit
ed States District Attorney John
L. McNab. The notice Of dis
missal, received by telegraph
was as follows:
You are dismissed from the
department of justice, effective
Immediately.
(Signed) M'REYNOLDS."
Judge Herrrington's only reply
was:
Telegram received "
Harrington was active in look
ing up evidence in the Diggs.
Caminetti white slavery case.
His demand for the removal of
Attorney General McReynolds
was grounded upon the latter's
order for a postponement of the
trial.

The Estancia Valley has ex-
perienced some rather warm
weather during the past week or
two and people have grumbled
somewhat at the unusual condi-
tions. But while our people haYe
been grumbling, in other less
favored states many people have
died and probably thousands
have suffered prostrations that
will result in impaired health for
the remainder of their lives.
While Estancia valley people
have things to grumble about,
they have much to be thankful
for.

The Acorns celebrated our ma
TONS birthday July first. Under
Old Glory the soldiers tent was
pitched in the center of the table
with Uncle Sam standing guard,
The camp fire and kettle were
ready for the soldiers to
cook their mess. The members
were treated to a very liberal
war time diet, consisting of
baked beans, corn bread, bacon
and coffee with a few accessories.
The coffee was exceedingly hot
but delicious all due, to the fact
that it was served in pint tin
cups. The other rations were
served in tin plates. A paper
canoe filled with the national nut,
the peanut was found by each
plate. The main features of the
program were a poem entitled,
Our Nations Birthday, a read
ing of the Declaration of lnde
pendence and a discussion of the
history of the Old Liberty Bell.
Mrs. Al. Watson being hostess
received many compliments for
her l1ninlle entertainment.

STATE SCHOOL
FUND DEPOSITS

Joint Resolution No. IA of
the Laws of 1918. provides
that it shall be the duty of
the state treasurer, the attor-
ney general, the secretary Of
state and the governor to de-
posit the permanent school
fund with those banks of the
state which will pay the high.
est rate of interest for the
funds. The various banks of
the state were asked to submit
bids for the amount of the
fund they would take and the
rate of interest they would
pay and the four state officers
mentioned above this morning
opened the bids. More than
thirty bids were submitted,
and the rate offered ranged all
the way from three aud a frac,
tion to Z 5.S percent. A COM
putation showed that the en-
tire amount of $12l, ,040.6S
could be deposited in various
banks, all but $4,000 to draw
6 per cent and over. Before
action was taken on Treasurer
Marron's motion to let the
bids to the various high bid
ders for the amount aud the
rate they offered the
governor offered the sugges-
ton that by sacrificing slight
ly over $4,000 in interest yearly
the permanent school fund
could be invested ia the state
bonds at four per cent
aud in this manner the state
comm sion could
dispose of $l2l, 900 of the state
oond issue, which otherwise
could not be sold because of
he low rate of interest. He
maintained that this action
would result in the greatest
good to the state, although it
would mean slight sacrifice
% the school fund. The mat
er was taken under consider
ltion and no decision arrived
1t before the New Mexican
vent to press.-Santa Fe New

A traveller by rail on the N. M.
C. was heard loudly complaining
about the slow time made by the
trains. 1t is true that the trains
do not run very fast when going
uphill, but they always trot GO

satisfy any reasonable person.

ELEPHANT BUTTE
BIG DAM WORK

Among the problems con
fronting the engineers who
are constructing in the West
the enormous storage dams
for irrigation, transportation
of heavy machinery is one OF
the most difficult. The loca-
tion of the sites for these da ms
is usually in IA region remote
from railroads and often quite
inaccessible until highways
have been carved out of the
steep walled canyons.
The series of cableways
erected at Elephant Butte,
New Mexico. have been en-
ployed to weighty advantage
III transporting many thous-
ands of tons of material and
machinery. Recently it was
found necessary to tranfer &
Cotton dinkey engine across
the canyon. The method en-
ployed is shown in our fronts
piece illustration. Fearing
the weight of the engine might
TOO severely test the strength
Of single cable, the engine
was swung across on two ca
bIes and was safely landed at
its destination on the other
side. The length of the cable
ways from one tower to the
other is l,450 feet and the
height of span above river bed
is about $50 feet.
The Elephant Butte dam,
which is to be one of the |
greatest works of the Recla
Service, blocks the en-
trance to comparatively mar
row walled canyon in the Rio
Grande River, about 1870 miles
north of Ell Paso. Texas. The
structure will be of rubble
concrete gravity type built
straight and not curved like
the Roosevelt dam in Arizona.
It will have a maximum
height of 275 feet, will be 1900
feet long on top and contain
100000 cnbic yards. The res
Drvoir created by the dam will
have a superficial area of 40,
$50 acres and a capacity of
2, $4,000 acre feet. The res
ervoir will have a capacity of
80, OPS, 100000 cubic feet more
than that of the Assouan in
Egypt. 1t will serve a double
purpose in that it absolutely |
protects the lower valley from
destructive floods and insures
an abundant water supply to

leo. 1t will restore to cult
vatiou aud intensive agricult-
ure thousands of acres which
have been abandoned by rea
son of water shortage. 1t will

the taxable wealth by many
millions of dollars Scientific

Nevertheless, il is Il delicate issue. and

tariff measure can be got out OF the
way during the first six months Of the
year only slight harm, IL any, will be
experienced. Another serious problem
which 1913 has inherited is TO provide
greater capital and satisfactory net
income for the railroads - i'm other
words. to readjust systems of hnancing
so that railroads may establish a safe
