WATER UNDER VALLEY
REPORTED TO RISING
Advance Information Of New mexlee
State EneInssr's nspsrt b oased
on twenty-five StatieNs.
EDGE OF WATER seLr ImcLUoeo
In Spits Of nsay Drafts PuMpsd
for irrigation, Water escemes
More Abundant In valley.

The Santa Fc correspondent Of the
III Paso Herald is responsible for the
advance information ON the report
regarding the water level IN the MINI
bres valley, which is soon to be issu-
ed by the state engineer, and which
shows conclusively that the water
plane is ascending in spite Of the
large quantities Of water being pump
cd for irrigation.
The suggestion, which will be con-
tanned in the report, that It takes
considerable capital to develop u
farm properly agrees well with the
opinions OF those who are trying to
induce farmers of means to settle in
the valley. While the initial outlay
is great. the cost Of upkeep, rs CON-
pared with gravity systems. is cor
rcspondingly small.
The news item mentioned is as fol-
lows:
The water level in the irrigat-
ed belt of the Mimbres valley is
increasing instead Of lowering,
in spite Of the pump irrigation
that is being done in this valley.
A water report is being pre-
pared by Engineer s. s. Carroll
on the Mimbres valley. Tie has
completed his survey and Is now
preparing his report. which will
be- published soon, the results Of
the Investigations in the MINI
bres valley which have been in
progress during the summer irri-,
cation season under the direc-
ton Of State Engineer James A.
French.
The state engineer has main
tained twenty-five stations In the
Mimbres valley, which include
the edge Of the irrigation belt as
well as in the center Of the
pumping district. The results OF
Engineer CAROLS investigation,
which was made under State En-
gineer French's direction, was
that the water level Of the val
lev has risen in spite Of the
heavy drains that have been
made on the irrigated district by
the irrigation pumping plants.
There wns no evidence Of n re-
duction in the water along the
edge of the district.
However. the engineer will in
clude n suggestion in his report
that the Mimbres valley ranches
require some money for develop
ment and that il Is not poor
mans project.

GREATEST Battle IN
HISTORY STILL RACES
Third Week Of Great Alsns Struggle
Finds Allies sun nammsrlng at
Right Flank OF Germans.
REPORTS TELL FEW DETAILS


Another week has passed and the
situation between the allied armies
and the Germans in northern France
is still described by the French Of
fetal announcements as satisfactory,
with here and there progress along
the line, but not a sufficient advance
to the north and east to strike de-
cisive blow at the German right wing.
The battle on the Aisne gives every
indication Of being the greatest in
history as TO duration, losses, and
possibly in significance with respect
to the outcome of the greatest war
the world has ever seen.
British reinforcements constituting
in part Of trained East India troops
and in part of territorinls. composed
Of Scotch regiment, which includes
many sharpshooters who have won
fame on the ranges in times past,
have reached France to strengthen
the small British army which for
many weeks past has been doing yeo-
man service beside its French allies.
Colonial troops also are on the way
to the battle front. not few Of
whom have seen service in South
African and other campaigns.
On both sides there have been in
Vulnerable offensive movements, the
Germans, while relying upon their
entrenchments to keep of the ad-
vance Of the opposing forces. are not
hesitating to assume the offensive in
fierce assaults upon both French and
British at short intervals.
Likewise the Germans are continu-
ing their campaign in Belgium by
an attack on the outer defense of
Antwerp. and. according to Rome
dispatch, are rushing thousands of
troops and an immense supply Of
war material 10 the Russian frontier
in a supreme effort TO ward oif the
Russian advance.
In the eastern theater Of the war
Germany has taken into her hands
the direction Of the campaign against
the Russian emperor's hosts.
While Berlin officially is silent on
the progress Of the war. the Berlin
ger Tageblatt, in a leading article,
expressed the confidence Of the Ger
man people that further news from
the battle fronts will be in favor of
the German arms.
The battle of the Aisne, now near
ing the end Of its third week, will
soon outstrip in respect to the time
the great contest fought at Mukden
nearly ten years ago, but still no de-
cisive result has been achieved by |
either side.
Military experts. however, believe
that the allies continue to clutch at
the outspread wings Of the German
army, particularly the right which
forms the upright portion Of the l.,
md now has its back TO the east,
fighting with desperation to prevent
he French left from encircling or
smashing il along most Of the front.
estimated at 1870 miles in length.
The artillery has played by far the
most important part in the struggle.
but on the German right the lighter
guns, cavalry and infantry, are doing
most Of the fighting with stubborn
ness and disregard Of life that peo-
pie have so often said in recent years
modern soldiers never would display.

commissioners are making an effort
to establish good roads between each
town in the county and the matter of
building roads leading to the main
highways will be taken up later. The
question of the expenditure Of the
money derived from the auto tax was
considered. This money can be used
only in the up-keep Of the roads, not
in building them in the first place. In
some townships where an insufficient
amount Of road building has been
done, some Of this money can be used
for digging out the stone and doing
general repair work. 4

which provides for the working out Of

The question of road drags was dis

Of the drags and will buy more with
the auto money. The drags should be
used when the frost is first out Of
the ground and the new ones will be
here by that time. Townships must
