Sellers, ADA M 3 WHOLE They Always Tell Him Their Troubles This Red Had Ideas Phoenix, Pee. 2. The Indians In the central part of Arizona seem to think that Deputy Sheriff Jell Adams is the president of the Unit" ed states having the power of life nd d.ath over aU his subject. Whenever anything happens In nihlch an Indian Is concerned he comes to see Mr. Adams about It or writes to him. Those who have not the pleasure of his acquaintance go to those who have and procure tes timonials directed to him. Jim Kate, an Indian, a few days ago brought a wildcat skin to town and In order to provide against a contingency that the supervisors might not pay him for It he procur d from his friend Charles Dickens another resident of the reservation, a letter to Mr. Adams In relation to the pelt and all the circums-.ances surrounding the demise of the wild cat. In the concotlon of the tetter he put himself a part of the time In the place of Mr. Kate and a part of the time ho remained in his own proper person. The chlrography and authography are excellent bet ter than that of ninety nine white men out of one .hundred, though the composition Is wlerd as follows: "Mr. Adams, I kill this wildcat about seven days ago on the reser vation. This wildcat kill two of my chickens to and near my camp, about 600 yards from my camp. Mr. Adams, this man you know him very well. His name Is Jim Kate, lie is a very nice man and want me to write this wrte for him and he say he don't understand English. Mr. Adams please help him out and do something for him, same as be fore.

Harrison of your city, I drove over through this property last week, Wednesday, on my Las Cruces in matter of the holding of the 16th National Irrigation Congress at Albuquerque next year. I have been familiar with this particular piece of property for upwards of twenty year and I consider it an extremely well located subdivision, lying as it does about one mile due north of Las Cruces on the main county road to Dona Ana. So far as the soil and water rights to this property are concerned, I wish to add that there is no finer soil in the Mesilla Valley or in New Mexico for that matter. Every portion of the land is susceptible of irrigation, possessing paid up water rights under the Dona Ana irrigation ditch and being signed up and under the United States government diverting dam in the Rio Grande. "As to the prices asked by the company owning the prop- I consider them very reasonable, taking into consider the location of the land, its qualities and its prox to the city of Las Cruces.
