MAXWELL DISTRICT
EXPECTED TO GROW
THE IRRIGATED LAND COMPANY
ACQUIRES MORE LAND FOR
ITS PROJECT
lFrom the MaxweII Main

According to a well founded report
that seems to be based in reliable
authority, the Maxwell Irrigated Land
comany has acquired options on two
tracts Of land across the river from
town, embracing about $4,000 acres Of
fine land, which will be put under
bitches from the Hebron reservoir
within a year. This would make Max
well the center of the finest farming
district in the state, and would mean
doubling the population within a
year.
The plan for watering the land
across the river, as outlined to the
Mail, are that Hebron dam is to be
raised ten feet which will double the
capacity of that big lake. A diversion
dam will be built across Red River
above Hebron, and channel will be
cut across narrow strip Of land to
carry the waters of the Red River to
the sugarite. In this way water
enough will be secured for all land
under the proposed project.
To get the water from Hebron to
the land across the river would mean
big ditch about 1S miles long, This
work would give employment to a
large force Of men and teams for many
months.
The plans as outlined would be the
biggest thing that could possibly hap
pen to Maxwell. With rich irrigated
farm lands on all sides of the town,
with wide stretches Of grazing land
bordering the farms, with the great
coal mines Of Dawson and Kcehler
right at the back door of the Tract,
with the packing plant at Koehler
ready to receive all the live stock
grown, with the markets of the world
accessible by railroads, nothing can
keep Maxwell from becoming the inn
portant city 1t is destined to be.

STATE SPENT S6,7s5
in San MIGUEL COUNTY
ENGINEER FRENCH MAKES RE-
PORT ON ACTIVITIES DURING
THE PAST YEAR

James A. French, New Mexico state
engineer, has notified Robert J. Tau
pert of the san Miguel county road
commission that the state has expend-
ed the sum of 6,735.19 in this county
from December 1, 1913 to December
1, 1914. This sum has been spent on
fixing the road between Romeroville
and the county line. The engineer
also stated that the work on the roads
in this county would be kept up un-
til all the highways were in a good
condition. The work done by the
state authorities in San Miguel has
been extremely efficient
Mr.. French also said that the state
has constructed two much-needed
bridges in Santa Fe county on the
road between Las Vegas and Santa Fe.
These bridges are each about 80 feet
in length. One of them is within a
half mile Of Rowe. There has been
a considerable change in the location
Of the road at Rowe on account Of
the construction of the new bridge.
The two bridges will make great
improvement in the road from here
to the capital. The remainder Of the
route is already in fine condition.

An effort will be made to have the
congress recommend, perhaps, TO
build the highways under a govern
ment engineer in much the way that
the Panama canal has been construct
ed.
Although the roads congress was
scheduled to meet today, the visitors
will not get down to business until to-
morrow, when the school for mayors"
opens at the amphitheater Twenty
five hundred mayors of American ci-
ties have been invited, and a large
number are already ON hand Ac-
companying them are highways engi-
neers and state officials from many
states. Automobiles are here in large
numbers, and it is expected that full
ly 10000 interested representatives of
the good roads movement will be on
hand for the discussions.
'eWhen you tell man." said e. Il.
Powers, secretary of the association,
"that it costs every man, woman and
child in the United States $12 a year
as his share in the high cost of bad
roads, you begin to interest him. The
time has come when we should no
longer endure a condition of road by
which it costs the American farmer
23 cents to haul the same weight that
a French or English or Belgian farm
er can haul for or cents. 1t is
time we resented a condition in which
ii is possible to send wheat from New
York to Liverpool FOR half wnat it,
costs to haul 1t nine miles along one
OF our country roads.
"The establishment Of system Of
permanent, improved highways Is of
far greater Ir1rortance than the dig
ging of the Panama canal. Tie roads
are used not hy the few, but by every
one. they az owned by the people,

meeting last Monday evening, en-

ing the road between Red River and

ing in short time $3.50 Of the 1854
balance assumed by the Red River
association after an expenditure of
81 ,450 during the past season for
work on the Red River hill road.
The cause to which the leading
business men of Ration have contrib
uted and will contribute more is one
of the most worthy ever presented
Some very surprising developments
within the past few days in the Red
River district, which will be made
public soon, emphasizes more than
ever the Importance Of this rapidly

ment in the Red River district will
increase its present population Of

There is still another son involved

Mr.. Foght has visited the schools of

while in a few particulars, Of course,
he has criticism to make. However,
he likes the spirit with which those
criticisms were received and how
readily teachers and authorities are
to adopt suggestions. He was parti-
cularly impressed by the interest
which the people manifest in the
schools.
This forenoon he visited The Santa
