DRAINAGE WORK
IN CARMEL DISTRICT

The following is taken from II
letter written by f c. Cloudy and
printed in the last weeks issue of
the A lamosa Leader.
Replying to your kind inquiry
as to the progress OF work on the
Carmel district system, will state
that the work is being vigorously
prosecuted, and on June Both the
trenching machine laid go linear
feet of l0-inch pipe, and on the
forenoon of that day made the
remarkable record of trenching and
laying 525 feet.
OF the twenty odd miles of
drains, practically l0a miles have
been completed and work will I'M
doubtedly be finished by Oct 18th
of this year. The drainage system
will certainly bring about complete
drainage of the 5000 acres of land
included within the district. Mr..
Claes Arnell, one of the resident
land owners, is cultivating a tract
OF land to potatoes this year which
he had not farmed for l2.years and
his crop is very promising
1--WE believe that this drainage
system will convert the lands in
the Carmel drainage district into
the garden spot of the San Luis
valley. 1t will certainly furnish a
model to other land owners to
study and observe the effect of II
drainage system of this character.
The drains range in size from s in
cbes to 20 inches in diameter and
the trenches are being placed one
half mile apart. Many lands are
being plowed this summer prepar-
atory to cropping in 1915, and as
there is very little alkali in this
district we are confident when the
seepage or surplus water is drain
ed off and the water table suttici.
emily lowered that every acre Of
the land in the district will again
become productive and highly
useful.
1T is my firm belief that at the
rate drainage water is developing
in the Carmel drainage district
(now being y cubic feet per sec
ond) the drainage from the lands
of the San Luis valley will supply
the Rio Grande river with at least
400 cubic feet of return water per
second of time, which water is now
being lost in large measure by
evaporation by not being conduct
ed directly back to the river as
speedily as possible

A CATHOLIC TRIBUTE TO PROT
EsTANT BISHOP.

We pay a tribute of our respect to
the memory of the late Bishop
Scarborough. the Episcopal Bishop
of Southern New Jersey. He was a
gentleman in the highest sense Of
the term. Simple in his habits.
kindly in his relations with others,
earnest in his work as he saw it, with
a silent contempt for all intolerance.
he lived to a ripe old age loved by
his own people and respected by all.
In these days, whom divorce is
rampant in the land, be it said to
the credit Of Bishop Scarborough
that he without wavering maintained
the indissolubillty Of the marriage

WHY CANADA BARRED Z
MENACE.

ANY paper discussing religion ir
an abstract way 'is responsible fol
its own opinions. and we do not in
any way interfere with such papers
Men may be Protestant or Catholic
in the extreme. and may hold their
views in the extreme, and give pro-
nounced expression to them in the
most extreme way. and the postof-
fee department would not interfere
at all. But when personal abuse re-
flecting on the honor and chastity of
women. and on the clergy of any de-
nomination as a whole, is INDUCED
in, or when women of a certain faith
are reflected on. as has been done in
The Menace then this department
understands it as its duty not to al
owl such things to pass through the
mails. This is the law which the de-
partment has followed in the past
and intends to follow in the future.
It has been and will be applied i'm
partially to all papers, Catholic or
Protestant. which may indulge in
such things"
In the above statement, issued in
a memorandum today by DR.. r. M.
Coulter. deputy postmaster-gensral,
concerning the placing of the ban
upon an American-Canadian publica-
ton called 1.-THE Menace" and pub
lished in the United States at Au-
rora. Mo-. and in Canada at Aurora,
Ont. the policy Of the department in
connection with such matters is
enunciated.
In substantiation of the course fol-
lowed in respect to this paper there
is contained in the memorandum a
long list of quotations and headings
which the department believes justi-
fies it in coming to the conclusion
that the paper comes within the law
prohibiting the transmission of "in-
decent. obscene. immoral or scurril-
Gus literature"
Would Have Been Same IL Catholic.
The memorandum states that IL
any Catholic paper had INDUCED or
should indulge in such reflections as
have been INDUCED in by 1.-The Men
ace.' most certainly its privileges Of
the mails would have been or would
be cut off at once. when this case
was brought to the attention of the
department" continues the memo
randum, "and when the columns of
the paper were examined and the
statements contained therein con-
corning many of the people of our
country, there was nothing for the
department to do but to live up to
the law and debar this paper from
the privileges of the mails"
The privilege of the mail has not
only been refused to the weekly pa
per published at Aurora. Mo-, but au-

lie fICrid1 state Jubl!ate meeting,
commemorating the twenIy-ffth an
niversary OF the fcur1ing of the Bap-
ist WomaL's Customary Union, held
n tbs city Friday at the Baptist
church, brought together some splen-
Gid Christian workers and very
| charming women, and the meeting
was full of interest and earnestness
throughout the day.
Tne opening praise service was
conducted by Mrs. Peelman Of Jack
sonville, secretary of the Florida Mis-
sicnary Union, and there was a pray.
CT, followed ty several hymns of
praise.
The chair was thon taken by Mrs.
". c. Wamboldt of Jacksonville, pres
.dent of the union, who said that the
union was delighted to meet in Ocala,
and that the delegates were greatly
pleased with the way tie Ocala wo
men had taken hold of this work. She
called or Mrs. \. l.. Tzlar for a his
! DRY of the contribution OF the W. NJ
L. of Florida to the Baptist Conven
tiCn, which Mrs. Izlar gave in a con.
densed form, the report from year
to year showing splendid improve

meeting held in Ocala in 1882, and
from then, up TO 1894, she gave his
tory of the unions work, Mrs. Peel
man, the present secretary, taking it
up there, and continuing the report
informally.
Miss Kathleen Mallory OF Balti
more, secretary of the Southern Mis-
sioDary Union. was the next speak
err giving a wonderfully beautiful talk
on the meaning OF the "Jubilate."
Miss Mallory is a very lovable young
woman, beautiful speaker, so ear.
nest and forceful that all who heard
her fell victim to her charms and
became more in earnest about this
work. Taking the word, "Jubilate,"
letter by letter, she explained it's
meaning to the women of the union
most charmirgly and earnestly. She
| aid she thought it most fitting that
the 25th anniversary Jubilate in Flor
ida should be held in Ocala, where
the first mention of such a society in
this state was made.
Joy, Unity, Beauty, Interest. Love,
Advancement, Thanksgiving, Enlist
ment-that is the full meaning of the
word, "Jubilate," and the beautiful
language used by Miss Mallory in her
talk was wonderfully inspirational to
her listeners, and it is felt that her
talk will do a great deal of good for
| the work.
Dr.. Willingham of Richmond, who
with his wife attended the Jubilate.
was then given the chautauqua salute.
followed by song. 1t is a matter OF
much regret that DR.. Willingham
who is one of the secretaries of the
Baptist Foreign Missionary board,
was too weak to address the union
Miss Sallie Priest, missionary tC
Shanghai, China, and Mrs. Neal, of
Atlanta, secretary of the Georgia I'M
ion, each made splendid speeches at
the morning service.
| The church was decorated with
many handsome missionary banners,
which formed a conspicuous part of
the days proceedings.
