II.-LittIe Drops Of Water.
By Frederic J. Haskin.
By Frederic J. b

ENGLE, N. NJ. October 15.-1n this
dry country water has always been the
most precious commodity. In the early
days. to the wandering hunter and
prospector, it meant the difference be-
tween life and death. To the farmer
today it means the difference between
a living and bankruptcy. The most
successful farmer in these western 1rri-
cation valleys has always been the
man who could make little water
go long way. Now they have more
water stored behind the new Elephant
Butte dam than has ever been stored
under the control of man in one reser-
voir before. There are S56.00o.O00, 900
gallons of it. When the forty five mile
lake, with its two-hundred-mile shore
to cover the state of Delaware two
feet deep. These billions or gallons
are as much under control as the water
in kitchen faucet. Their flow can be
turned on and off like the water that
fills the garden hose.
Here. where water is the great es-
sential often lacking to successful
farming, sometimes even to life itself.
this immense quantity of captured and
controlled water ought to result in
immense changes.
In the first place, the completion of
the dam marks the end of interstate
and international ouarrels centuries
old. There were diplomatic problems
as well as problems of engineering to
be solved in the construction. 1t was
necessary to pass special national leg
islation to satisfy the conflicting claims
of New Mevico and Texas to the pre-
cious flow of the Rio Grande. and spe-
cial treaty with Old Mexico had to be
ratified, and provision ma9e for prop
er share of the stored waters to go to
Old Mexican farmers across the boun
dary.

New Settlers Interests
Closely Safeguarded.

But not SO. Your Uncle Samuel has seen
to the rights of the nation at large.
Before the dam was built. the big
owners whose lands will be benefited
were carefully canvassed. and the work
was not undertaken until large ma
jority of them had p edged themselves
to cut their lands up into small holdings
and sell these holdings at reasonabl
prices. Moreover, there is a rule that
no one man can get water for more than
100 acres. If he owns ha'f county,
he can only irrigate one qUarter-section
in it. and thereby he is forced to sell
the rest. Strenuous efforts are being
made not only by the reclamation serv-
ice. but by the landowners rsalves,
to make sure that none of the land gees
to spectators, and that the new setter
shall not be overcha rged. The land
owner sees the proposition somewhat in
this fashion: He has large amount of
land for sale: If he sells a little of IL
at high prices. the buyer will have SO
little money left that the chances are he
will fail Thus the project acquires
bad name. and the owner can't sell the
rest of his land at all.
This condition as well as the pledges
secured by the reclamation service oper-
ate to keep prices at fair level In
order to prevent the holding of land for
some years until the valley is more set
tied and prices are correspond!ngly
higher, the reclamation service has the
legal right to sell lanus unuer the project
at public auction if the owner does not
dispose of them within given length
of time. Thus while there is little land
to be had free under the new dam. there
are many thousand acres which will be
sold to new settlers at fair prices. The
productiveness of the valley Will be in
creased enormously: the land Will sup
port many thousand additional people on
its surface. and the crops they raise will
give food to as many thousand more.
The Elephant Butte dam stands Tor q
new and permanent national asset.

revolutionary PERIOD
PHOTOS ARE IN DEMAND
Texas Woman Asks Chamber of
Commerce to Aid Her in
Obtaining Originals"

Any one who happens to have a
snapshot or other photograph-noe the
photograph of q drawing or painting.
but an original-of the Boston ten
party. Paul Revere on his famous ride.
or other subjects OF historical tn
forest between 1776 and 1912. may be
able to dispose of them through the
Chamber of Commerce.
Secretary Tom Grant Of that or =
ganization has received from a young
woman in Texas a letter requesting
historical photographs of that period.
Mr.. Grant is dubious about finding the
desired photos. however. inasmuch az
he has been informed by John Hoffman.
secretary of the National Photogra-
piers Association, that the science of
photography was not developed until
a date considerably later than that last
named. In accordance with the cham
ber's policy. however. to do the next
best thing when that desired is I'M
possible of accomplishment, Mr.. Grant
will send photographs of historical
paintings in the rotunda Of the Capitol
and other places. and hopes thereby TO
assist tho Texas correspondent.
The chamber received two other un-
usual reQuests-Secretary Grant is
nearly converted to the superstitious
belief that all things come in threes-
one asking aid in getting an American
now in Liverpool a passport: the other
regarding a shipment Of macaroni
which has been made from this city to

Problems Adjusted
Before Building Dam.

pay for the building of that dam. In
the case of this dam at Elephant Butte
a certain amount of the water will be
used by farmers in Old Mexico. The
American farmers in New Mexico and
Texas could not be expected to pay for
the entire cost under such circumstances,
SO Congress had to appropriate s1,000,0 900
to apply on the cost Of the construction
work. a sum sufficient to cover the pro
rata share of the Old Mexican lands
which will benefit. Over $4,000 acres of
Old Mexican lands will be irrigated with
water from this American reservoir. In
spite of our troubles with Mexico there
has never been any suggestion that this
country might fail to carry out her agree
ment in the matter, although the flow of
the Rio Grande is now absolutely con-
trolled at Elephant Butte.
Texas lands presented another techn-
cal and diplomatic problem New Mexi-
cans and Texans had long been quarrel
ing over water rights. In fact. this sub
ject has always been a fruitful source of
trouble in the southwest, where you can
cause your neighbor to lose his entire
seasons crop if you happen to live high
er up the river than he does, simply by
dropping the little wooden gate that
blocks the main ditch. and thus keep the
waters from ever reaching his land. New
Mexico and Texas had never been able to
agree on the exact share of the river
waters each was entitled to. A govern
ment engineer succeeded in adjudicating
the point TO The satisfaction of everybody,
and they say it was almost as big a con-
tract as building the dam.
