RESERVOIR

Las Cruces, NJ NJ, June 2S.--That
the increasing water level in this val
ley, resulting from the Elephant Butte
project, is destroying orchards, al
falfa fields and shade trees. and that
unless steps are taken Immediately
for drainage measures the valley will
be extensively damaged and all new
settlement stopped, are assertions
made by Thomas F. Co0ney, we'll
known engineer, in a communication
to the Citizen" In part, he says:
whatever conditions were antedat-
ing my arrival as to water in abund-
ance or otherwise, in my opinion
nothing less than the bursting of the
Elephant Butte dam could be more
serious than the increasing water
level, which is at present destroying
orchards, alfalfa and shade trees. The
condition is actually criminal. Who
is at fault viii be exceedingly hard to
determine. If the powers that be in
the valley realized that high water
was inevitable after the silt vas pre-
cipitated in the dam, and yet failed to
express themselves or take steps to
meet the requirements necessary to
combat the present results, then the
whole situation has developed into a
huge boomerang reacting upon them
selves. IL they realized the present
situation then the only conclusion to
arrive at is that by declaring their
fears 1t would mitigate against set
tiers like myself making any invest
ment in the valley.
tT1ou AGAIN II fa a0uQaiVah Ip that
the Reclamation Service engineers
who planned the project were igno-
rant of the results that would follow
in Introducing clear water, i. e., the
elevation of the water level in the
valley. Surely they must have had
some other project In the west az a
basis to be guided by. In other words.
we're they cognizant OF the results
which now obtain? If so is it not reas-
enable to suppose that some steps
would have been taken to safeguard
the farmers by inaugurating the drain
age system simultaneously with the
building Of the DAMP There Is the
question. If the engineers knew their
business they simply ignored the dan
ger, and losses which we're sure to

in evidence. Il they did not know,
they should never have been In
charge.
Had the dam been built by a priv
ate corporation, every legal light with
in a radius OF one hundred miles
would have passed upon every scrap
Of paper pertaining to the project
but because it was our Uncle Sam we
assumed it would be o. K, aud 1t is
o, X, as far as the proposition is
concerned, but this having abundance
Of water will not drain our land. and
BY the time 1t Is drained, providing
nothing Is done In the meantime, II

as there will be nothing alive but the
