Reclamation Seroice
Asks Bids On First
Contract For Drainage

L N Lawson. project manager OF
the Rio Grande reclamation project,
is calling for bids for the first con-
tract for the excavation Of a drainage
canal ever called for by the United
States reclamation service. The pro-
posed drain will be nine miles long,
when completed, and will mean the
removal Of half a million yards Of
earth
Beginning at a point two miles be-
low the Mssilla dam, it will run north
to a point about a mile north of Las
Cruces, n. N. The ditch will drain
most Of the old river bed in the
lIesilla valley. Mr.. Lawson was noti-
fed Of the contract method of doing
this work kby A. F. Davis, chief engi-
neer of the reclamation service
The decision to have this work
done by contract is a departure from
this work by A F. Davis. chief engi-
drainage work up to this time has
always been done by the crews and
equipment Of the reclamation service
itself Contracts are frequently let
for irrigation canals, and laterals,
but never until now on drainage
systems.

LOWER PECOS
VALLEY DRY
Counsel Dent Says the Irri-
cation Reservoirs Have
Water for Only Month.

District counsel P. W. Dent, OF the
reclamation service, who returned
Tuesday afternoon from q business
visit to the Pecos valley, reported that
a drouth more serious than any that
has occurred in the southwest con-
fronts the farmers Of the Pecos valley.
During the past season practically
all the water in the two reservoirs
from which the Pecos valley farmers
get their water was exhausted, and
the lack of rain and SHOWS in the
mountains, has not replenished the
supply for the coming season. Mr..
Dent estimated that there is sufficient
water remaining in the reservoirs to
last one month, but that after that
there will be no available water IN
til the rains. It will be possible to
irrigate only one-tenth Of the Carls-
bad project according to Mr.. Dent, IN
less the country is visited by immedi-
ate rains.
Says Artesian Wells @Dry."
Even the artesian wells. usually
very prolific in the Pecos valley, have
dried up" in great numbers, owing
to the lowering Of the water table
from which they derive their source.
Well posted men in the Pecos district
expect very little relief from the

of the river, unless there is sufficient
rain to melt II all, and precipitate it
into the valleys and reservoirs at one
time, as there is not sufficient snow
ever to reach the valley in the or
binary course Of melting, Mr.. Dent
said
Restraints Bumpers in Valley.
Mr.. Dent has taken steps to protect
the farmers of the Carlsbad project
by securing an Injunction, restraining
persons residing above the project, or
between Roswell, and Crosby, n. n,
from taking any water out Of the
river. It is said that the people above
the project have installed pumps since
the government took over the project,
and have used them to take water out
Of the river above the project While
this procedure is agreeable to the
project authorities as long as there
is plenty of water in the river, Mr..
Dent stated that the governments
water right is prior to the right Of
the persons residing above and that
where there is a shortage Of water,
the farmers Of the project come first
"a heavy precipitation within the
next month will save the day." said
Mr.. Dent The farmers OF the project
have sufficient water to start their
crops. and If they can get rainfall
enough to irrigate them a couple OF
times after planting. the summer rains
will arrive in time TO head off d1sas-

JUDGE HOLT VERY ILL

The following notice from Lou

many friends here:
The condition of Judge William
II. Holt, prominent jurist, who was
taken from his home at Pewee VAL
ley to the Jewish Hospital, suffering
as the result Of stroke of paralysis
four years ago, is reported by his
physician, DIR. John Sebastian, as
serious.
Judge Holt, who is a native Of
Bath county, is rs years old and has
been an invalid for four years. He
graduated from the Albany Law
School in New York and, returning
to Kentucky, engaged in the prac-
tice of law in Mt. Sterling. He was
elected from that district to the
Court of Appeals in 1887 and served
as Judge for eight years. He was
appointed by President Mckinley in
1901 to form the first court in Porto
Rico following the acquisition of
that territory, and served there for
four years. Returning to the Unit
ed States, he again took up his pro-
fession and moved to Pewee Valley,
where he lived with his daughter,
Miss Elizabeth Holt.
Judge Holt is one of the past
grand masters Of the Grand Lodge
of Kentucky, Independent Order of
Odd Fellows, and was signally hon
ored by them a few years ago, when
he was presented with a magnificent
past grand masters jeweled badge.
His wife, who died several years
ago, was formerly Miss Sarah Rob
erts, of New Jersey.

An interview with Mr.. Smathers,
Of the Mt. Sterling Garage, local
Buick distributor, makes certain
that the purchaser Of a Buick car
between now aud the end Of the 1919
season is not running any chance
that the price win be subject to fur
Their change during that period.
1--WE have just received a letter
from the home Office" said Mr.
Smathers, containing the revised
price schedule effective January LIST,
1919, covering the various Buick
models during the remainder Of the
season. Four models have been
reduced in price and the other two
remain untouched.
"There has been considerable
speculation as to what the Buick
Motor Company was going to do
about the prices of their cars, as the
close of the war left things in such
an uncertain condition regarding
the price and quantities of raw ma
terial available that a good many
people felt it would be impossible for
the really big manufacturers to find
their bearings for some time to
come.
"This prompt action on the part
Of the Company shows that they
have been able to clear the situation
up sooner than anybody expected,
and for one am delighted with the
announcement so early in the sea-
son."
