St (j (j (1 Ay Ay Ay Vol. I. East Las Vegas, New Mexico, Tuesday Evening, January 26, 1892. No. 86. LATE NEWS. HOW TUXT VIEW IT. Washington, Jan. 25. The Asso ciated Press, after the adjournment ' of the two houses.today, interviewed upwards of 100 senators and repre sentatives in regard to the president's message. The senators were much more cantious about commenting on the message and the probable out come than members of tho. house. But it was evident that party con (derations did not bind members of the house in their views, and that a decided majority was willing o sus' tain the president in upholding with firmness and vigor the position taken by this government. Many of them in expressing their views, said it seemed to them that the United States had in some respect, perhaps, not acted altogether in the right, but they said they had no doubt that much should be done by Chile and that inthe end she would comply with most of our demands. Of the message itself the opinions of Demo crats and Republicans alike was that it was a strong presentation of the case. Some congressmen were of opinion that it was ex-parte statO' nients, and that its language might be stronger than the correspondence warranted. Members of the foreign affairs committee of the house were the most conservative in their views and said they desired to examine the correspondence before commenting freely on the affair. Doth senate and house committees will take up the matter promptly. The members of the appropriation committee were agreed in case the necessity should arise of enforcing our demands on Chile, that money would be freely authorized to be spent to make the demand successful. Mr. Egan's con duct was discussed quite freely, and many representatives on the Demo cratic side thought that his actions had given considerable provocation, but at the same time, those members said, they did not justify the assault ing and insultingof American sailors. The most warlike utterances come from a number of influential.stauncb, southern Democrats and members of the Massachusetts delegation. Gen. Cogswell, of Massachusetts, in the library of tho house addressed a lialf dozen or more members who,becauso of Chile's size, deprecated hostilities and told them a small country must take tho consequences of its actions the same as a large one and that Americans must be protected under all circumstances from unjust assaults. m m Press League Oiticebs.

Governor Prince, always alive to the best interests of New Mexico, has called an irrigation convention, to be held at Las Vegas in March next. The great future of this terri tory depends upon irrigation, and the sooner the people now here realize the fact the better. The wonderful possibilities of this section have recently been brought to the attention of the general publio by the system of irrigating enterprises recently inaugurated in the counties of Eddy and Chavez, where during the past two years thousands of acres of desert land have been reclaimed Hundreds of families have located in that section during the past year and more are arriving daily. Thous ands of acres of land ar now seeded to alfalfa, to say nothing of the many really large and beautifu orchards and vineyards which have been, and aro continually being set out. In agriculture, horticulture and the fattening of cattle lies the great future of this immense plains coun try and without irrigation these in dustries can never flourish, except on a very limited scale. Irrigation will do for New Mexico what it has done for California and the Salt River valley of Arizona. To'any measure which will increase the interest in the subject of irrigation we should lend every encouragement, not only as individuals, but as people and a state. The Enterprise earnestly hopes that the irrigation convention will be as largely attended as was that of the miners' convention recent ly held at El Paso. Silver City Enterprise, People who have studied tho myth ology of the North American Indians state that their traditions run back a period of nearly 6,000 years and tell of a great flood which covered the earth, the watersof which gradually receded until there remained only one great lake in the southwest. In the depths of this lake sported all the prehistoric monsters that lived be neath the waters, while its vast sur face was covered with the floating dead bodies of huge land animals that had been drowned in the flood. As this great inland sea commenced to evaporate, and the water lowered day by day, the great mass of strug gling, shrieking monsters were piled ou top of one another, forming mountains of dying, fiercely fighting animals that vainly endeavored to sustain life by crowding into the rap idly disappearing lake, the last waters of which sank into the earth in that particular section that is now known as .Northern Arizona, .caving on its whilom bed millions of dead bodies of prehistoric monsters piled up, forming for miles a great moun tain of fleHh and bones. A long, dry spell followed; the hot sun shone day after day on this rotting moun tain of flesh, and a great pestilence spread over the land, which prevailed until the horrid mass succumbed to the elements and sank into the earth. This tradition of the Indians has been written and related lor years and years. Now comes the recent dicovery of the great phosphate beds north of Prescott Janction. How did they get there? Is not this In dian tradition as well verified as any of the verifications of prophesies in holy writ, or the verifications ot an cient history by the finding of buried cities of whioh they are told? Who can say that the Indian tradition is not correct to the letter? Prescott Courier. ANOTEsa Santa Fs Ecute. Said H. C. Dinkins, -contracting freight agent for the Santa Fe: "I understand our company has plans for a line from Chicago to Omaha.
