MIDDLE VALLEY
ASSOCIATION To
MEET At c. Of c.
Permanent Organization Of
Reclamation Association
Will Be Effected at Meet
ing Booked Tonight.

Permanent organization of the
Middle Rio Grande Reclamat m
association will be effected at the
meeting of all members at the
Chamber of Commerce this eve
ming at o'clock. The temporary
organization has been active dur
ing the past five weeks and all
sections of the middle valley have
been organized and a check of
the land which would be ef-
fected by the project has been
completed.
NJ. J.. Fox, director of the
association, and l.. S. Donnell,
who has been checking the
lands, returned Saturday night
from Socorro where they report
great interest in the recla nation
project, A large number of mea.-
bers have joined the association
from Socorro county and it is OK
pected that many of them will
attend the meeting tonight
when the entire middle section
will be represented for the first
time since the project was
started.
The purpose of the association
is to perform the preliminary
steEs necessary to comply with
the requirements of the MCNary
hill so that when the bill be.
comes a law, it will be possible
to put the proposed project be.
fore the reclamation bureau in q
concrete manner. The McNarA
bill provides for a revolving fund
to be used in reclamation wo i,
throughout the United States anc
! it is hoped that the Middle Ric
Grande project will be among
the first to be developed under
the act.
The project includes the cree.
tion of two storage reservoirs ii
the north part of the rive"
These will put stop to floods
through the control of the wat
ers: lower the water table ana
drain many of the swamp Sec
tons as well as prevent river
bank damage and prevent great
quantities of silt from washing
down into the Elephant Butte
dam. The silt threatens the eff
cheney of the Elephant Butte
project.
All members of the association
and all persons interested in the
reclamation of the middle valley
are expected to attend the meet
ing tonight. Officers will be
elected for the permanent organi-
zation and further plans for the
activity of the association will lie
outlined.

MRS. LEN SMALL
CRITICALLY Ill
WITH AP0PLEXy
Happiness and Rejoicing
Over the Governors AC-
quittaI Reverts to Sorrow
and Sadness.
tBy The Associated Prcss.)

Kankakee, H., June 25.-Happl-
ness and rejoicing reverted to sor-
row and sadness in the home Of
Governor Len Small today when
Mrs. Small. his wife, was stricken
with apoplexy, little hope being
entertained for her recovery.
The attack came upon her short
1y before midnight in the midst Of
congratulations of her friends and
neighbors who had gathered to
welcome Governor and Mrs. Small
and their family home from Wau-
kegan, H., where the governor
was acquitted yesterday on a
charge of conspiracy to embezzle
interest on state funds while state
treasurer.
Mrs. Small had not regained
consciousness at a late hour today.
While Governor and Mrs. Small
were standing at the doors of their
home receiving the congratulations
of friends, Mrs. Small complained
of not feeling we'll and started into
the house, where she collapsed.
According to friends, Mrs.
Small's strength was greatly taxed
during the last few weeks although
she insisted on going to Waukegan
to be with the governor at the
close of his trial.

network OF ROADS and TRAILS
Tejano Canyon Road to Open Up Vast Recre-
ational Grounds in Sandia Mountains; u. S.
Hill to Be Eliminated Between Taos and
Las Vegas; More Trails Into the Pecos.

Fifty miles of mountain roads
and $50 miles of trails will be
constructed by the United States
forest service in the New Mexico
national forests during this and
next summer. In addition, a large
mileage Of forest, state and
county highways will be built and
repaired by TIE United States
bureau of public roads and the
state and county authorities.
The mountain roads. for the
most part, are short stretches
leading from the main highways
into the forests. They will make
accessible to auto much of the
fine mountain scenery. good
hunting and fishing, and will AL
low rapid transportation in case
of forest fires.
The trails, after construction,
will allow the public to take
many interesting horseback trips
in comfort and without the dan
ger of becoming lost in the
mountains. They will also be of
immense importance in reaching
fires which may occur in the
most inaccessible portions OF the
rational forests.
Trails Are Fire Ladders.
The importance of good trails
cannot be over estimated for
quick action on forest fires. IN
fact, the saving in cost of hand
ling a fire by being able to
reach 1t quickly over a good trail
may often exceed the cost of coli
struction of the trail. The trails
allow the rangers to reach the
fires before they become large
end hard to handle.

Other tentative proposals are

No one in authority here doubts
that Sun eventually will be forced

REMAINS Of AN
ANCIENT Be Asst
FOUND ON FARM
JaWbone Six Feet Long and
Several Teeth Dug Up;
Smithsonian Institute Is
Notified.

Roy, n. M, June 25.-1n a wash
out in hillside on the farm of
Encarnacion Lucero. 15 miles east
OF Roy, a portion of a tusk, two
teeth and part of jawbone OF
some prehistoric animal, probably
q gigantic mastodon or mammoth
were found The tusk measures
ten feet six inches In length, thir-
ty inches in circumference. The
teeth are nine by five by eleven
inches The teeth are in fair shape
but the tusks are practically dis
integrated.
Lucero, while hunting cattle af-
ter cloudburst and flood, discov-
cred the end of the tusk protruding
from sand bank, and removed it
after several hours of hard work.
1t took five men to carry it to Luz
cero's home. Doctor Carus Plum
lee of Plumlee hospital has taken
charge and wired Smithsonian in
stitute. Plumlee has stopped all
digging and will wait for action of
the institute. In the event the in
stitute does not act, he will resume
excavating and ascertain if the en-
tire skeleton can be found.

fire northwest of Silver City in

Gila national forest. Located 81
miles from the, nearest settlement
in a very rough country and
burning fiercely and rapidly un-
der high wind. the fire looked
discouraging. Yet within twelve
hours twelve men were fighting

thirty men We're on the ground
Fire tools and food for both ms1
and horses also had been brought
over the forest trails. and the
fire, even though it had burned
over about 1000 acres, was soon
controlled.
Forest officers state that had
II not been for the trail system
there is no telling how large t',is
lire would have become before il
could have been controlled, since
1T would have taken probably
twice as long to get the men To
1t. As it was. the trails were in
good condition and so we'll posted
that none of the men became
lost in going to the fire, although
some of them had never been in
this country before.
There is much of the mountain
country, however, where there
are no trails or where they are
SO poor that travel over them is
difficult and exceedingly slow. II
is this condition which 1t is now
proposed to remedy with the
funds at present available. Whila
the trails are being built pri-
marily for fire protection, forest
officers hope that they will be
used also by hunting and fishing
parties and by those people who
merely desire to get into the
back country to enjoy the noun
tain scenery.

dead of Herrin's war went to their
graves today, Sixteen Of them
we're buried in the "potter's
field" while union men who had
dug the graves leaned on their
spades. ana ncld their shapeless
hats in work -gnarled hands.
The summer sun beat down on
the long grass of the Herrin
cemetery. the daisies and red
clover, and the singing of meadow
larlls mingled with the words of
the four pastors from here who
conducted the brief service. Per-
haps 70 persons We're present,
most of them miners who had
dug the 16 graves since dawn
today.
State Senator William J. Sneed,
in khaki overals-he had been
digging too-was there; the mayor
of Herrin, George Pace, and Col
