M. A. ORTIZ CLAIMS
ELECTION BY BIG MARGIN

Marcelino A. Ortiz, in a contest
tiled yesterday against Jose I. Ma
drid, who was declared elected by the
canvassing board and issued GER
tificate Of election, makes some very
startling charges in his complaint.
Ii is usually conceded that there
are likely to be few illegal votes
cast in any election and a few dis
crepancies in the count, but Mr.. Or
tiz. who has done considerable in
vestigating since the election has
fornd an unusually large number.
In Cerrillos alone he has found
that so non residents were allow
ed to vote, and that these people
were all voted by the opposition. This
nrniber alone is enough to elect Mr.
Ortiz.
In addition TO this he alleges that
about 40 votes actually cast for him
in San Ildefonso and Upper Santa
Cruz, which is the neighborhood
where Mr. Madrid resides, were
counted for the latter. In the entire
county he alleges that over rs votes
cast for him were counted for his
opponent and that nearly 400 illegal
votes were cast for his opponent.
As Mr.. Ortiz was beaten by only
about thirty votes on the face OF
the returns, il will be necessary for
him TO prove but a small number
OF the Illegal votes he alleges to en-
title him to the office of Assessor
for the next two years

RECLAMATION SERVICE
MAKES GOOD SHOWING

A summation of the work OF the
Reclamation Service to the beginning
OF the present fiscal year July /, 1920.
shows it has dug 1908 miles OF
canals and bitches, and excayated
IS tunnels with an aggregate length
OF more than n miles. Dams OF ma
sonry, earth, crib and rockiill have
been erected with a total volume Of
1897, ,295 cubic yeards. The eXca-
vatons of rock and earth amount
to 100000 cubic yards. The gov
erf.ment has used ClS0OO barrels of
cement. The available reservoir
capacity is 9,Al ,9l0 acre-feet. The
service has built 1893 bridges with a
total length OF over 81 miles. Its cul-
vcrts number 9,400 and are over Of
miles long. There are now in oper-
alton more than Sl2 miles OF pipe
line and l29 miles Of fumes. The
service has built $50 miles of roads,
much OF it in what was before in
accessible mountain regions, 50 miles
OF railroad, 3.l4S miles of telephone
lines, $50 miles OF power transmits
sion lines, and $50 buildings suoh
as offices, residences, power plants
pumping stations, barns, storehouSes,
etc, The power developed amounts
to approximately 10000 horsepower
The net construction cost of the
reclamation projects to the end OF
the fiscal year 1919 was a little less
than SIPS 100000.
The projects now under way Or
completed embrace approximately g.
10000 acres of irrigable land, and
viii ultimately provide about 10000
farms of from 10 to loo acres each.
During the year 1919 water was
available from government bitches
for about 100000 acres on $1,000
farms, OF which about 10000 acres
we're irrigated; in addition water was
supplied under contract for about L.
00.00O acres outside the government
projects. The value of the crops
grown in 1919 on lands served either
IN whole or in part from the works
Of the service amounted to Sl50OO0,-
90 about $89OO0O00 OF which re-
presents the value of crops grown
en- the l,ll3,469 acres of cropped land
on the projects proper. from which
definite crop statistics are secured,
or about $1,000 per acre, and the
balance an estimated amount from
approximately 100000 acres OF land
served with water under the Warren
Aet rom the works OF the service.
The crop year OF 1920 Just closed
in quantity production far exceeded
that OF 1919 reported above. Owing,
however, to the slump in prices OF
al farm products and livestock the
total values are likely to show a de-
cline over those of 1919. In genera.
the crops on all projects were ex-
cclent, the season having been
favorable one.

OF which were that its 'gra aduated"
