for the FL PasO & Southwestern sys-
TEN.
Indications. are now that a wonder
full crop of fruit will be harvested in
this district this season The fruit
was not, far enough advanced to be
damaged by the he-vy frosts of some
weeks ago and il is not feared that
later temperatures will be low enough
to result in material damage. There
is a substantial increase every year in
the acreage Of bearing orchards and
this season the apple crop alone will
be between 50 and 70 carloads. All IF
the fruits will be later than usual in
ripening, on account Of the Iateness or
spring.

WATER USERS CD
To WASHINGTON
Mesilla Valley Farmers to
Tell Secretary Lane
Their Troubles.

Mesilla valley waJer users will lay
their case, arising from the refusal Of
the water users to pay the storage wa
ter rate to the reclamation service, be-
fore Franklin X Lane, secretary Of the
interior.
Saturday afternoon Mark B. Thomp-
son, an attorney Of Las Cruces, and
James Quesenbury, one Of the leaders
in the Elephant Butte Water Users as
ISOLATION, left for Washington as the
representatives Of the upper valley wa
ter users and the community ditch own
ers.
The differences between the upper
valley water users and the reclamation
officials arose over the charge Of so
cents for the use of storage water from
the reservoir. This the upper valley
water users refused to accept and de-
clined to sign the contracts for the de-
livery of water. other clauses referring
to rights of way through lands were
also objected to by attorneys for the
Mesilla valley farmers.
Injunction Granted.
An injunction was asked for and a
temporary one granted the water users
by Edward Medler, judge Of the dis
trict court sitting at Las Cruces. This
injunction followed the shutting off OF
the water from the community bitches
on May first upon orders Of the recla-
nation officials. An effort was made
by representative Of FL PasO and the
Fl Paso valley water users to persuade
the upper valley land owners to accept
the Objectionable contract which
great majority Of the lower valley land
owners had signed. This they refused
to do, one farmer declaring that he
would allow his alfalfa to ruin in the
field before he signed the contract.
Arguments for and against the max
ing of the temporary injunction perma-
nent were heard Saturday by judge
Medler at Las Cruces and he requested
attorneys for the reclamation service
and for the water users to submit their
briefs to him next week, when he viii
study them and render a decision. In
the meantime. water continues TO flow
through the bitches in the upper val
ley.

dence that the force Of America IS the
force Of moral principle. There is moth
ing else for which she will contend"
