WHEAT OFF IN PRICE

The wheat market took a slump
this week, the selling price Thursd9e
being around $2.S5 per bushel. The
slump is attributed to the fact that
the markets are becoming well filled
with the commodity, and also that
money is closer than II has been for
some time. A recent drop in foreign
exchange, in New York also had a
tendency to force the markets down.
The car shortage was not considered
a great factor in yesterdays drop.

WATER POWER IS GAINING
PROMINENCE WITHIN STATE

New Mexico is growing out Of the
stage of infancy in the water power
situation and the problem of sup
plying all the requests for water
rights is becoming an important
item, according to State Highway
Engineer l.. A. Gillett, who passed
through Clovis on a road inspection
tour this morning.
Heretofore, anyone who wanted
water rights along the streams Of the
state could get them for the asking,
but this is almost thing Of the past,
according to Mr.. Gillett.
Returning from a hearing on a
petition for water power rights in the
lower Pecos Valley below Carlsbad,
the highway engineer announced that
plans were under way to make com
plete survey Of the Pecos river in
this state with the view Of abjudi-
eating the water rights along the
entire water course.
This will affect the rights Of all the
irrigation farms down the Pecos Val.
ley, and these rights will be granted
by court decree according to priority.
Mr.. Gillett estimates that about
$500 claims will come before ths
court befose the matter is finally
settled.
This matter will take considerable
time, even after the survey is com.
pleted, whish will take about two
years.
