ago by Mexico to the state department

ing the cost Of the great valley irrl-

s'g71e Simple truth Of the matter. as I
see it." said Mr.. Martinez during his
testimony, 'fs that the farmers in this
valley persuaded Mexico to relinquish
damage claim Of S2O.O0O,OOO against the
United States and, in return, we were
given about 100000 to begin the
work Of building the big dam Further
more we have promised TO Iurnlsn

Orchards and Vineyards
Il think the board should be informed
on some Of the conditions which led up
10 this situation When 7 lived in this
section in 1881. the Rio Grande valley
was one Of the most fertile IN the
country. Great orchards and vineyards
covered the valley and thousands OF
dollars worth Of wine was made here
every year Our wine was noted IN
Colorado. Sonora. Chihuahua. Arizona.
Texas and New Mexico. In those days
land in the valley was valued at about
500 an acre.
Water was plentiful al the year, and
that was the secret Of our prosperity.
Juarez at that time contained more than
twice as many people as it did in 1903,
IS yearsllater. The wine business alone
was a great industry. I remember one
time that old DR.. Alexander, who was a
wine producer. took me to see his watts
and showed ne store Of wine for
which he said he would not take $780,

Colorado Took Water.
'rWeII, the farmers OF Colorado began
TO come in and take the water Of the
Rio Grande for their own irrigation.
Gradually the flow in this section de-
creased and by 1897 the river was dry
most Of the time. Property values fell
almost to nothing. Land which had
been worth 500 an acre dropped to SO
and SIS. The American government per
mitted this to go on and the valley,

1.-THE possible expenditure OF $1,000
900 for a drainage system for the
- 10 Grande valley in connection
with the Elephant Butte irrigation pro-
ject was discussed Wednesday morning
nv FL Paso and Las Cruces water users
reclamation service engineers and mem
bers Of the cost review board, which Is
in session here. D. H. Murphy, general
drainage engineer Of the service, was
questioned in detail by the water users
and gave as his opinion that drainage
system is absolutely necessary in or
der to maintain the irrigabihty OF the
land under the project
Investigations which he has made IN
this valley have convinced him and oth-
er reclamation engineers Of the neces-
sity for the drainage works, he said IN
company with L N. Lawson PROJECT en-
gineer at FL Paso. he told OF having
gone thoroughly over the project No
definite action was taken on the mat
ter, but II is thought probable that the
report OF the cost review board 10 the
secretary Of the interior will contain
a recommendation for the construction
Of the drainage works Boards OF d.
rectors Of the Elephant Butte and II
Paso Valley Water Users associations
viii also take some action IN the case
at their next meetings.
Necessity for Drainage.
Most Of the information given 70 the
water users Wednesday is embodied IN
after the conclusion Of his and Mr.
Murphy's investigation Of the subject,
some time ago. This letter, which fol-
lows in part. was sent to both the water
users associations under the project;
while at the present time a com
paratively small area Of land is visibly
affected by poor drainage, IL is believed
that the condition Is Of sufficient i'm
portance that actual drainage opera
lions be begun at an early date in order
to relieve the present effects and pre-
vent a rising Of the ground water plane.
The project lands which now are az
fected by a rising OF the ground water
are readily distinguishable as areas
either too wet or alkaliued to be fit for
cultivation. The alkaline condition OF
the lands is due principally TO the high
water table which permits the bringing
I'D Of the alkan. while in a number OF
cases the alkan areas have been formed
by the wasting Of water from the lower
end OF canals
Waters Near Surface.
Generally the water in the Rio
Rio Grande is but little below the ada
cent lands on either side and this con-
dition permits the water from the river
being carried under irrigable lands
