A movement is now on foot at
Moriarty TO try the experiment of
sub-irrigation, a system which re-
suits in a great saving of water ov-
er the open ditch method besides
having several other advantages to
recommend it.
The following is from the Mortar
ty Messenger of several weeks ago:
EstanCia Valley land is now worth
about $500 per acre. The people
here cannot experiment on an un-
known system so system has been
selected that has proved a success.

eight years and is the cheapest sys-
TEN that has been invented. 1t is
known as the Virgins System of
Cement Tile was first established
at Garden City, Kan. Ten thousand
acres are being prepared at Midland
Texas, where an experiment station
has been in operation the past year.
The advantage of this system has
been demonstrated by the fact that
no foreign matter was found in the
pipes after having been in use for
eight years. Mr.. Willis, northeas,
of willard, examined the system at
Midland. last July, and found suffi-
cient moisture sixty feet from the
! last tile to bring up crop and suf-
ficient moisture sixty feet from the
last tile to raise any crop, the water
having been turned on thirty days
prior. On surrounding land the
seed never came up proving thai
the sub-irrigation raised the crop.

Developments of the last several
weeks indicate that the big Alamo
gordo saw mill may be restored 10
its former activity. Chas. Brooks,
formerly of Brooks, Harper and
Laws, firm which had contract
with the Alamogordo Lumber COM
pany for numbering, was here for
q few days recently, accompanied by
a gentleman by the name of Bar
ney PeItijohn. The gentlemen
looked over the mill here and also
inspected the timber belonging to
the company in the mountains.
They gave out little information
further than stating TO friends that
they would be glad to make deal
which would enable them to oper-
ate provided the price set by the
company was not too high.
1t seems that the litigation in
stitued against the company sever
al years ago would be dismissed as
it already has been transferred to
the New Mexico courts, where it is
expected that the Attorney Gener-
al will issue an order of dismissal.
Orders of much importance, rela-
tive to the final settlement of the
famous timber land suits, institut-
ed by the government several years
ago against New Mexico corporations
and individuals, were issued in the
United States district court in
Santa Fe last Saturday, by Judge
William H. Pope. The suits inyoly-
ed thousands of acres of valuable
timber land, purchased from the
then territory of New Mexico by
the American Lumber company of
Albuquerque, the Alamogordo Lum-
Der company of Alamogordo, and
other corporations and individuals
interested in numbering. The tim
Der purchased at that time was and
is absolutely essential for the
continued successful operation OF
the various enterprises and in more
than one instance the litigation
which followed the government in
vestigation seriously crippled the
lumber industry The final adjust
ment of the litigation, which is
now believed to be in sight, will
be of great benefit to the state edu-
cational institutions. Because OF
Jne unusual lHlpOT lance Oh the CdS'
es and the far reaching results Of
the final adjustment brief his
tory of the case will doubtless be
interesting at this time.
In 1907 0rmsby McHarg, special
assistant to the attorney general OF
the United States, came to New
Mexico and instituted eleven suits
IN the name of the government anC
against the American Lumber Co.
Pennsylvania Development Co. and
Colonel Hopewell. the AlamogordC
Lumber Co., Gross, Kelly & Co.
Clark NJ. Carr and S. B. Day to SCI
aside and cancel deeds executed
and issued by the commissioner OF
public lands to the different pur'
chasers and also to set aside GER
tain contracts for the sale Of the
full grown and matured timber. The
government, or rather the special
attorney for the government, made
the then territory of New Mexico
a defendant in the various suits
and charged the territorial Officials
with bad faith. and neglect in look
ing after the interests of the pub
