THAT SQUIRREL PROPOSITION.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
In The Herald Of November g. under
Letters to The Herald" the editor, in
answer to a question asked by w

around. or circles. the squirrel When
the squirrel IS on the opposite side or
the tree and moves in the same dlrec-

may be- as does the hunter 1 tnlnk
the answer given by the editor Of The

About 40 years ago nearly every
editor in the country. l think, had the
same question put to him about three
times a week (Which is probably what
drove so many OF the old timers TO
drink, and those who made any at
tempt 10 decide the question mace
practically the same answer as the
editor Of The Herald-that because the
hunter walks in a circle around the
tree on which the squirrel is. ne also
walks around the squirrel which does
look conclusive TO the casual observer
Looks don't seem 10 prove anything IN
this case. though There are numerous
examples one could give to prove thaC
the hunter does not go around the

can walk around part OF himself then
his decision IS correct: II not, tfAen II

the same proposition as the hunter and

II not, he is wrong
For example let the editor play
hunter and the office boy squirrel, let
the office boy walk around in a small
circle. with an imaginary tree IN the
center. and the editor in a larger one.

and office boy facing each other, each

times he is still OF the opinion that

Robbing the Ocean of Land

As with US in the Rio Grande valley, Holland has
drainage problem. The difference is chiefly one OF
magnitude, for Holland has far the larger PROJECT
Needing land and seeing way to get It, Holland
is about to undertake robbng the ocean Of territory
by taking 529575 from the Zuyder Zee dykelng
the land and draining off the water.
The cost of the enterprise Is estimated al

make the reclaimed land cost nearly SPAS an acre be-
fore any improvements placed upon It Buildings
fences permanent crops such vines and fruit trees
would bring it to almost $500 acre. That seems
considerable outlay for the making of farm, but the
Hoanders are not noted for their folly. If the Dutch
have idea the land is worth $3.50 to $500 an acre and
willing put that much in it, confident OF making
money on the venture the rest of the world can take

Also, if they yelling to go to such lengths oil
effort expense to reclaim land there ought to be an
abundance of energetic citizens of the United States
to reclaim all available land under the Elephant Butte
dam at vastly less cost and to drain that splendid
farming land which now is in danger of ruin because
of an excess of water.

AIesander's Lake Opened 10 Fishermen


 Saturday was one big day at Alex. ander lake. II was the first day in the open fishing season. So many lines were put over the - boat sides that the fish got all tangled up. As the daylight crept from behind the eastern horizon the first boat put out and there was but a bit of color in the western sky when the last boat came shoteward. The fish bit and bit and bit. One lady who lives near the lake said that the fish she had seen carried by her house would cover her lawn If spread upon it. No one knows just how many were taken in the first days catch but doubtless hundreds. F. W. Seward aud Charles Richardson prob ably brought the largest bass 10 Put nam, Some fishermen got their quota within an hour or two and had to quit for the day.
 Tuesday was another day of sport but the fish were not biting so well, probably due 10 the cold, rainy weather. Already there is talk of fur theF limiting the number of fishing days and the number of fish to per. son lo assure flew fish being left.
 Whether this will be necessary re- mains to be seen as the season ad- Nances.
