"Irrigation is Emancipation from
Drought."
It is -what 'men think taat directs
what they do.
Irrigation makes the owner of for
ty acres of land Independent and
prosperous.
Agriculture does not attract "unde
sirable" citizens to a country, as
mining often does.
The natives -would have never bored
artesian wells In the Pecos Valley.
A thinking man a dreamer led the
way.
The idealist refuses to he governed
either by dead men or by political
bosses who ought to be in the peni
tentiary. The men -who signed the Declara
tion of Independence -were at the
time considered the -wildest of
dreamers.
The "Parson" is going to Carlsbad
tonight. CoL Fred Vandegrifit prom
ised to take care of the hand until
the Parson arrives.
The man who is absolutely conten
ted with the present might as well
die. He is of no further use In the
advancement of the world.
The doers usually get all the credit
for things accomplished 'but without
tSie seers there would be no doers.
The best men of all are both seers
and doers.
The cry of "Phariseeism" Is very
seldom raised by an honest man.
There is no more excuse for heing a
rascal in politics than in any other
function of citizenship.
The "dreamer" always has led the
world always will. It is the dream
that keeps the eye of the worker
turned ever upon the vision of the
future. The best worker is always to
some extent a dreamer.
Jesus Christ was "visionary and
impractical" from the viewpoint of
the average politician yet His polit
ical views have been marching on for
nineteen centuries, revolutionizing
and civilizing the world.
Some one has said that every great
accomplishment was -first a thought
in one man's mind a dream if you
please. The completion of the Hondo
and Avalon reservoirs is the realiza
tion of a dream that inspiired faith
and work.
The men who advocate better gov
ernment in New Mexico are called
"idealists" and "dreamers" but
"thoughts are things," and the peo
ple once Bet thinking aright, "mere
sentiment"- soon 'becomes Irresistible.
The greatest celebration in the his
tory of New Mexico began today at
Carlsbad. Agriculture is snore Import
ant than all other industries on earth
combined, and irrigation creates a
new earth by improving on the one
that God made.
TSe "Parson" laughs at New Mexi
co politics, partly for the benefit of
his health, and partly because of the
queer notions "practical politicians"
of the Territory uphold as party stan
dards. The success of candidates for
office appears to be cons' lered more
Important than the honest and eco
nomical administration of public
lousiness.
While in town yesterday, Fred Van
degrift the Santa Fe advertising liter
ature man, spent some time with May
or Stockard getting pointers about the
automobile line and the needs of a
railroad to the central part of the
Territory. Mr. Vandegrift is prepar

parts of New Mexico besides the Pe
cos Valley, and his interest in a rail-
road to the west from Roswell is ta
ken to mean that the Santa Fe rail
road company has plans along that
line.
It is generally believed that the Ter
ritorial Auditor will be one of the
first men to "walk the plank" after
the arrival of Governor Curry. And,
further, there is said to be a strong
probability that City Clerk Fred J.
Beck of Roswell will be appointed as
his successor. Beck is an old time
friend of Captain Curry, a dyed in the
wool Democrat, and once served as
a deputy under Curry in a county of
fice. His competency and integrity
are unquestioned and &ls appointment
would have the general approval of
Roswell people.
That one man or another is remov
ed from office counts for nothing. It
is the principle of right and wrong
that finally determines the character
of government. Iniividual men are
of little importance except as they
may stand for goad principles. The
merely personal feeling in. the Hag
er.man or Trelford incidents is less
than nothing in the final result. The
fact that the people of the Territory
are in earnest about the demand for
better government is what counts,
and will continue to count regardless
of who may temporarily fill the
offices.
Fred Vandegrift, the great political
descriptive and advertising writer,
who is engaged in a study of South
western conditions generally, and who
has written some of the most con
vincing literature ever issued by the
Santa Fe Railway, said to the Record
editor last night: "It is farming by
irrigation that will make New Mexi
co a great state. Colorado is a great
mining state, but within the past few
years the figures show that her farm
products far exceed in value the out
put of all her mines. It was irriga
tion that revealed riches on the sur
face of the valleys and plains great
er than all the coal, iron, gold and
silver in the mountains. Colorado now
manufactures more beet sugar than
all the balance of the United States.
New Mexico has more land, better
soil, and more available water for ir
rigation than Colorado. Then she has
a better climate. Her mining re
sources, too, are undoubtedly rich
but I repeat that agriculture is the
state-maker, the home-maker, the
foundation of prosperity and good
government."
LIVE NOT IN CLOUDS.
A blockhead may take pride
In never dreaming. Blocks aren't
.made for it,
Live not in clouds. Yet clouds not
often glide
O'er ibarren soil nor rich dreams of
ten flit
O'er minds too poor to yield the deed
such dreams will fit.
George Lansing Raymond.
The Railroad and the Festival.
From Artesia Advocate.
The unexpected change of schedule
for the northbound passenger which
was announced on the opening day
of the festival has done more to irri
tate the people up and down the Val
ley than anything that occurred In a
long time. The change of time for the
southbound local was made with lit
tle more warning and disappointed
even a greater number of prospective
visitors.
Prior to June 21 th north bound
passenger left Carlsbad at 5:30 a. m.
standard time.
This necessitated early rising on
the part of the people of Carlsbad
who wished to travel northward, and
folks there who were about to leave
had to hustle to get to the train i
time and could not be expected to
hover around the depot an hour before
train time. Hence when the train left
half an hour earlier without notice,
everybody was left People were also
left at Dayton and Lakewood. Even
the postmasters along the route were
not warned until after the train had
left Carlsbad. The road's action In
regard to the local from the north
was very similar. Day before the fes
tival information was . received that
the local would leave Roswell two
hours before schedule time. It was too
late to effectively advertise the change
up the Hne. More than two hundred
Roswellites who had prepared to at
tend the fcarbecue were disappointed.
Everybody was also left a Orchard
Park, Dexter, Hager man and Lake Ar
thur. All told more than five hundred
people were prevented from attending
on account of these unexpected chang
es of time.
Artesia's festival was a success hut
the attendance would , hare been larg

blotted out of existence long enough
beforehand to allow people to prepare
to come overland. There were no re
duced rates to Artesia Saturday.
Some say the road is trying to an
noy the people of the Pecos Valley
for bringing an action before the In
terstate Commerce Commission to se
cure a reduction in extortionate freight
rates. Others say a great corporation
could not be capable of such little
ness.
We are more interested in the fun
dimental cause than in the immed
iate reason for such effects. We will
not waste time denouncing the road.
The mere statement of facts is a stron
ger denunciation than intemperate in
vective.
Inconveniences of the kind named
seem inseparable from our present
railroad system. It is the duty of Am
erican citizens to seek the cause and
cure of these and other abuses. We
are pretty thoroughly convinced that
Bryan is right in contending .that gov
ernment operation i-s the only ultimate
solution, but that a good ways off and
it is our duty to modify as far as pos
sible the evils that inevitably arise
from transferring functions that are
essentially governmental into private
hands.
We are not yet enjoying the bene
fits of statehood thanks to a Republi
can national administration, which in
sisted on joint statehood when every
body knew Arizona would defeat the
project. We are hampered in attempt
ing to regulate the roads by the fact
we are not a state, but .we should go
as far as possible in justly regulating
them. If our enabling act does not
allow us to create a railroad commis
sion, let us ask congress for such
authority.
If our experience will have the ef
fect of awakening Interet in the rail
road question it will be a blessing in
disguise.
WATER USERS PROTEST AT
DIVERSION OF A RIVER
Santa Fe, N. M., June 29. The Rio
Hondo and Rio Bonito Water Users'
associations have filed a protest witii
territorial irrigation engineer Vernon
S. Sullivan, against the El Paso and
Southwestern railway company divert
ing the Bonito river, a tributary of the
Hondo, from the eastern slope of the
White mountains to the western slope
from there to be piped 175 miles to
furnish engine water to the railroaJ
which at present expends half a mil
lion dollars a year in treating alkali
water for its engines and engine re
pairs for damage caused by poor wa
ter.
As the federal government has com
pleted a reservoir on the Hondo it
will Intervene against the railroad Co
to prevent the diversion of the Bonito
The railroad company intends to
spend over a million dollars to divert
the river and has .bought most of the
water rights along it.
It was the purpose of the railroad
company, with its new water supply,
to furnish every station along its line
with the same. This waiter is to be
taken from the south fork of the Bo
nito river, well -up in the mountains
and piped to what is known as Wat
son's lake, on the divide, above Nogal
which will serve as a natural reser
voir at the desired elevation. It is the
expectation that about all the points
desired can then be supplied with wa
ter by gravitation. To save litigation
and delay the company has arranged
for the purchase of about all the land
from the forks of the stream to Fort
Stanton, expending over $100,000 the
refor. The surveyors have been in
the field for over two weeks finding
levels and preparing for the pipe lay
ers. El Paso Herald.
Georgia Masonic Conclave.
Carroltton, Ga., July 2. One of the
most interesting conclaves of the Ma
sonic order ever held in Georgia will
.begin here tomorrow and delegates
are already arriving for the event. A
feature of the cconvention will be the
laying of the cornerstone of the A &
M. College hy the Masonic grand lodge
of Georgia. Addresses will he made
by Governor Hoke Smith, ex-Governor
J. M. Terrell and other well known
Georgians.
Grand Prix Automobile Race.
Paris, July 2. Long before sunrise
this morning thousands of people be
gan congregating along the Hne of the
Dieppe circuit, the scene of today's
great automobile classic for the Grand
Prix, and many hours before the time
set for the beginning of the race the
entire fifty axHea of the circuit was
black with, the assembled multitude.
Despite numerous misfortunes and the
competition of the Kaiser's Cup race,
the Grand Prix has (maintained f its
place as the world's foremost motor
ing event, as was evidenced fry the im
mense concourse of spectators from
every nation of Europe. In addition
to $35,000 received from entries, local
authorities in towns along the line
have donated over $20,000 toward the
race making it the costliets event ev
er attempted by an automobile club.
The Dieppe course is triangular, the
angles being at Dieppe, Eu and Lond
inierss. One side of the triangle, Eu
to Dieppe, is comparatively close to
the sea. From Dieppe to Londinieres
the race passes through Everman.
The exact distance is eighty-four kilo
meters. Ten laps will be made bring
ing the total distance to 840 kilomet
ers, or about 600 miles. The rules
for today's event differ radically from
those previously in use.
Thirty-eight machines started in the
race, seventeen makes of cars and five
nations being represented. Lancia, a
hero of two Vanderbilt cup races, was
the first away. Walter Christie the
only American entrant, was the twelf
th to start. Immediately in front of
Christie is Le Blon, while back of him
follows Jenatzy, both having been Van
denbilt competitors.
Sisz, who won last year's Grand
Prix with a Renault, is again a com
petitor and is most feared of all the
entrants. Edmund and Richez, both
expert drivers, are entered by the
Renault concern, which evidently has
the best chance of winning the tro
phy.
According to the revised rules, fuel
consumption during the race is limit
ed to 6.6 gallons .per 62.1 miles. There
is no weight limit or other restriction.
All work on competing machines .must
be done hy drivers and mechanics
riding with them.
Walter Christie, the sole defender
of the motoring honors of America,
expressed himself as confident of win
ning a good place in the contest of
speed that will be waged through the
day. His .machine is a 130 horse-pow
er, with a four cylinder gasoline en
gine driving direct into the hubs of
the forward wheels. In general de
sign it resembles the car Christie
drove in the Vanderbilt Cup race
trials, although many improvements
have been made in details of construe
tion.
England is well represented by two
Weigel cars, one of which is driven
by its designer and the other by Lee
Guinness, the famous amateur who
last winter came into the limelight
as the driver of the 200 horse power
Darracq, which created the world's
two-mile record at Ormand and ibroke
all existing kilometer records in Eu
rope. o
INSPECTOR MAKES GOOD HAUL
The Mexican inspector made a good
haul yesterday in the Mexican Central
station when they confiscated smug
gled goods to the value of about $50
from three women, a .mother and two
daughters. The goods consisted of
laces, silks and wearing apparel.
The three women whose names
could not be learned, came to Juarez
on the Central yesterday morning from
El Paso. Apparently they had no
goods with them, as they carried no
thing but a grip and it contained no
dutiable articles. The quick eye of
the inspector, however, noticed that
the three were unusually large in dia
meter at places and ordered an in
spection. They were taken into the
inspection booth and the lady inspec
tor was sent to investigate.
When she came out twenty minutes
later she brought with her enough dry
goods and millinery to fill a merchan
dise counter. In the lot were silks
and laces, handkerchiefs, underwear,
waists and even socks. The women
were crying.
The materials were found wrapped
around the waists, padded over the
shoulders and wrapped and tied even
about the limbs of the women. Some
of the smaller articles, such as hand
kerchiefs and socks were pinned to
the inside of their dresses.
The goods were turned over to the
government storage room and the wo
men were more comfortably clad for
a 100- degree temperature. El Paso

Cyclone Hits Tucumcari,
Tucumcari, N. M., June 28. A ter
rific windstorm passed over Tucumca
ri, traveling from southwest to north
east, and several small buildings were
moved from their foundation. One
house in course of construction near
the Rock Island depot was blown
down and a barn in the southern part
of town was blown away.
East of the City about six miles, the
resident of Ed Miller was destroyed.
Mrs. Miller and a daughter six years
old, were in the builUng when it went
to pieces, and both were blown Quite
a distance on the prairie and were bad
ly bruised, but their Injuries are not
thought to ibe very serious.
North of town hail fell as large as
a hen's egg.
Italy Owns Telephone System.
Rome, July 1. AH of the telephone
systems in Italy, heretofore owned by
seventy-four different companies, to
day passed into the control of the
government and will be administered
by the postmaster general. All of
the principal urban exchanges have
been purchased outright for about $3
000,000. .The present staff will be re
tained for a year pending the definite
settlement of the new regime. Salar
ies will be higher than those paid by
private corporations, which have led
to much complaint, and to the meager
nesa of which has been attributed the
deficiencies in the service. Prices of
service will not be reduced at present
although a reduction will likely be
made later on. The present rate in
Rome is not unusually high, being on
ly, about $34 a year for the ordinary
subscriber. It is believed that num
erous improvements in service will be
effected by the government within a
short time, as was the case In rail
road service during thee two years of
state management.
GONE FOREVER.
The American Press.
Ten years ago a farmer put his ini
tials on a dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and .spent
it with a merchant. Before the year
was out he got the dollar back. Four
times in six years the" dollar came
.back to him for produce and three
times he heard of it in the pocket of
his neighibors.
The last time he got it back four
years ago. He sent it to a mail order
house. He never has seen that dol
lar bill since and never will. That
dollar bill will never pay any more
school or road tax for him, will never
build or brighten any of the homes of
the community. He sent it entirely
out of the circle of usefulness to him
self and his neighbors.
