Selecting Valley Lands
QUIETLY but steadily a piece of work is going on under the jurisdiction of
the reclamation service in this valley that has, and will have, a very
direct 'Bearing on our future. It is the work cf selecting the lands that
are to be irrigated uader the Rio Grande project. Within a few months, the
limits will be definitely marked, and every land owner will know whether he
is in or out. ;
It is a situation that the uninitiated may regard as a bit curious, that men
should be clamoring and competing for the privilege of mortgaging their lands.
That is what the contract with the government is: a first mortgage, absolutely
binding the land and affecting the title until it is paid off. But it is a different
kind of first mortgage from the kind most people have had dealings with. It is
a first mortgage that is an asset instead of a liability a first 'mortgage that
makes the property more valuable a first mortgage that, to a large extent,
gives the Uad its value in the market.
For seme years we shall have the spectacle before us of the disappointed
ones raising a great fuss, charging graft, favoritism, and wrong doing, and trying
to break into the fold by main strength. But there will be some who will re
member the campaign, lasting many years, during which every effort was made
to get the owners of lands eligible to irrigation, to "sign up" the contracts with
the government through the water users' associations. And it will be remembered
how slowly some of the land owners moved, and how many arguments they put
up against the signing. The Herald for many years kept this business constantly
before the people, and many other agencies were, at work all the time trying to
bring the laggards in.
Now the time has come to "designate" or select the lands to be brought in
finally uader the Rio Grande project and that means that the others will be"
shut oat ofthe project and will receive no benefit from the stored water at
Elephant Butte. Many different tests are to be applied. The land must be so
situated that it can be economically reached. Its title must be clear. It must
have good soil, ascertained by scientific analysis. It must be capable of efficient
farm development. But besides all these things, there is a formula that will be
adhered to by the board of selection, in choosing among lands that meet the engi
neering, physical, and legal tests. And it is in the order of choosing, that the land
pwner will perhaps find mosttomfort or most disappointment, as the case may be.
This is the order in which lands will be selected for final inclusion:
CLASS 1 Cultivated lands in single ownership, not exceeding 160 acres under
original subscription to the Water Users' Association.
CLASS 2 Cultivated lands in single ownership, not exceeding 160 acres under
subsequent subscription.
CLASS 3 Cultivated lands in excess of 160 acres in one ownership, under
original subscription.
CLASS 4 Cultivated lands In excess of 160 acres in 00 e ownership, under
subsequent subscription.
CL SS 5 Uncultivated lands In single ownership, not exceeding ISO acres,
under original subscription.
1 1 v.-r'.S 6 Uncultivated lands In single ownership not exceeding 166 acres,
under subsequent subscription. '
l'LSS 7 Uncultivated lands in excess of 160 acres in one ownership, under
original subscription.
CLASS 8 Uncultivated lands in excess of 1(0 acres in one ownership, under
subsequent subscription.
CL SS 9 Cultivated lands not subscribed.
("LASS 10 Uncultivated lands not subscribed.
"LASS It Public lands of the tTnited States.
CLASS 12 State lands.
Special attention ef valley land owners is directed to class 7 and class 8. In
the words of a now famous song, "It's a long way to re." ' A very large proportion
f all the lands in the valley falk under these two classes: large tracts of unculti
rated lands, signed up in the first list or in the additional list. It is doubtful if
Masses 'beyond class 8 will ever be reached, with gravity water. Some day there
may be a pumping system to supplement the gravity system. But for some years
to contt. the irrigated lands will be limited to the first eight classes, perhaps to the
first set or seven.
Two things impress themselves upon the thoughtful ones in connection with
this matter: First, that the government puts the highest premium on cultivated
lands, giving them the preference in every possible case over uncultivated, except
where cultivated lands have not been signed, up at all; second, that the govern
ment is determined to take care of the holders of tracts under 160 acres, before
the lands in large single ownership, which have been allowed to lie idle or have
been heldpurely for speculation, shall be considered.
There will be plenty of grief for some land owners when the final report is
made, -but there is no man who can honestly say that he has not been fully and
fairly warned.

I
N A WEEK or two, thousands of El
planting shade trees, fruit trees, flower seeds, and vegetable seeds, mostly
on private heme grounds, but partly on school property. The idea of home
gardens, especially children's gardens, is a hobby of the superintendent of schools,
and he plan inaugurated last ,year in the city schools is being extended this year.
It hat the enthusiastic cooperation of teachers, children, and parents, and there
is no reason why in time it should not become a highly important annual under
taking. The estittMg of school children in this sort of work has a wider influence
than the simple direct effect of having things planted. Through this campaign,
the children are encouraged to take a more vital and personal interest in improving
the appearance and comfort of their homes and of the city as a whole. They learn
about life, and about plant growth. They learn, to love the little green things, and
to vle the flowers and fruits as they come. They learn a new sense of owner
ship, and respect for property rights of other people, through the necessity of pro
tecting their own.

LITTLE
INTERVIEWS
kk-pL PASO'S new county hospital
H will be a modern institution,
t-f operated in a sanitary and
businesslike way, when ive are all set
tled," said Dr. G. N. Thomas, county
fjhysician. "The building is a splendid
one for the. care of the county's patients
and the equipment, what has been in
stalled, is the most modern that can be
purchased. While the county has been
most liberal with its appropriations
for the necessities, it has made no al
lowance for the little touches which
are needed in any hospital in order to
make the patients feel at home. Miss
Black, the superintendent, is one of the
most efficient professional nurses in
the southwest and she is doing every
thing she can to make the hospital at
tractive. But if the people of the city
would lend a little of the broad charity
which has been shown so often here
and aid us in making the new hospital
attractive to its inmates, they and the
board woula appreciate it. Pictures,
pOtted flowers, a few bright rugs and
books and magazines would be appre
ciated and would make some person's
life a little brighter."
"Of the thousands ..who" will pass
through this city on their wav to the,
exposition at San Francisco, fully 20,-
000 will actually stop over and see the
cuy,- saui t Li. u raves. "At least that
number will make the trip, going Or re
turning, in special cars or special
trains. By its prompt action in arrang
ing for entertainments for the visitors
and the distribution of literature, the
chamber of commerce has secured some
excellent advertising for the city. The
passengers are the customers sfnd we
have the goods to show them and no
good merchant asks for more of an ap
portunity to have his customers right
on the ground where he can show them
his stock. In my opinion El Paso is
going to train about as much advan
tage out of the exposition as any city
on the coast.'-'
"The Zapatistas and Carrancistas" In
the vicinity of Mexico City don't seem
to show much hostility to each other,"
said Marley F. Lander. "I left the
capital recently and at that time the
Zapatistas were almost into the city
proper. They did not make any of
fensive move and neither did the the
Carrancistas. Both sides would oc
casionally exchange shots but neither
took the trouble to dislodge the other.
It gave a foreigner a rather queer sen
sation to go out into the suburbs and
cdme across a hostile force or dodge a
small raiding party. It Is as if a band
would raid a store and a few dwellings
in Highland Park hero and then retire
to the foothills back of the Country
club, while the troops stationed in,
say Pioneer plaza, paid not the slight-
, est attention lo tne raid. ,

"The quick action of Es Paso county
representatives in the state legislature
In securing the passage of the law cre
ating the 65th district court is greatly
appreciated by tfce Judiciary and the
bar of the county," said judge Dan St
Jackson, qf the 34th district court.
"The doSkets Of botfi the- 41st and 34th
district cotfrts are greatly oerdedjJ

both criminal and civil cases, will
greatly relieve the congested condition
. and expedite the work of all the
courts.
.
"Conditions are very good in the Mid
land district." said L. C. Major, of Mid
land. "Midland has always been a
good community, although not much
noise is made about it At one time
the town had the reputation of being
the wealthiest. In proportion to popu
lation, of any community in the state.
The country surrounding is devoted
largely to cattle, although the asrri-
j cultural interests are developing. The
introduction 01 irrigation, with wells
operated by pumps, is helping to de
velop the country agriculturally."
"Ignorance Is not purity," said Capt.
Mary Evans, matron of the Rescue
home. "Too many parents seem to
think that it te and here they make
their greatest1 mistake with their
daughters. .There are certain truths
that every girl should know for her
own protection and her mother is the
person who should give her this in
formation. Ignorance causes a big part
of the trouble that is blamed to vice
alone."

American citizen who hasn't
I money enough to go to England
' -- and take a look at the ancient
universities of Oxford and Cambridge
should not despair. He can see some
thing twice as great, thought not nearly
bo peculiar, by inserting himself into
the subway at Boston and getting shot
under the Charles river Into Cambridge.
He will there discover himself in a
wilderness of buildings, parks and his
toric remains known as Harvard Uni
versity. It is the oldest college in the
country and will celebrate its 300th
birthday in 1936. This is a mere teeth
ine age as compared with European
Schools, some of whose buildings have
not been dusted off for that length or
time. But Harvard is old enough to
have accumulated 25,000 alumni, includ
ing three presidents of the United
States, an endowment of $25,000,000. and
enough venerable American history to
Keep a genuine American citizen nusy
and happy for several dajs while ram

Harvard university began Its career
In a few plain Brick dormitories. In
1638 John Harvard left it $3750 and
300 books. This has made htm so fa
mous that his old homo in Stratford
on Avon is now a shrine of American
tourists. It pays to advertise In a Ju

Harvard now has upwards of a hun

casual visitor from the great west who
has roamed around Chicago university,

monumental achievements. Harvard's
campus resembles a free for all debate

its little old college buildings which
still stand, have the be3t of the argu

THE "CLOTHES OF A GENTLEMAN.''
Editor El Paso Herald;
What is a gentleman? "What makes
a gentleman his clothes or his ac
tions? "Well, you changed your unifprm to
day for the clothes of a gentleman,"
were the words said to mo last Satur
day afternoon by a certain dentist who
has a place of business in El Paso, and
In whose office I had just arrived for
the purpose of having some dental
work completed.
Cannot a man be as much of a gen
tleman in the uniform of a soldier of
MSttM-ataL,? can lfi
JruVwhy should the clothed make the
man? Some people will say that -a sol
dier is judged by the places he fre
quents. This maV be true but how can
a soldier be expected to frequent places
where he knows he is not wanted and
where he is' sure he will not get any
respect? Instead of throwing a man
farther into the pit why do notpeople
invite him into good, respectable places
and teach him the good instead of the
bad?
I hope to have this reach the eye
of every person In the city of El Paso,
and hope it may cause more respect for
the uniform instead of civilian clothes.
As ill respect for a man does not make
him any better, give proper respect to
the uniform, as the wearers of this
uniform were brought to El Paso for
the purpose of insuring its safety and
the welfare of its population.
Very respectfully,
. A Soldier.
PISTOL TOTERS AND DIRK
CARRIERS ARE ARRESTED.

The arrest was made during a disturb

During the night Jesus Lonex and
Vicente Mendes were arrested on a

Harvard has a vast concrete stadium
in which other college teams may play
if they are respectful and do not cross
the Harvard goal line. It has the cham
pion football team of Massachusetts and
Connecticut, and also beat Michigan in
1914. but hastily declined to tackle the
job again this year.
Harvard students also row a great
deal on the St Charles river, and their
second crew caused more consternation
in England last summer than the war
did by beating all comers on the Hen
ley. Harvard's equipment for educating
the young and agile mind Is probably
unsurpassed by any school In the world,
but It does noUpay enough attention to

THE GREAT GUFFAW
CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH was about
to go up in early colonial smoke.
Contemptuously he crossed his
feet, arms and eyes as the indian chief
tain stooped over to ignite the heaped
brushwood.
Nearby, weeping hitter copper col
ored tears (see Sidney Carbuncle's
"Raeial Characteristics") stood Pocha
hontas, who had appealed to her father,
the stern old Kickapoo chieftain, in
vain.
Suddenly a loud laugh smote the air.
Captain John Smith, about to be
executed, was guffawing.
"Guffaw! Guffaw:" he laughed
loudly.
Heap big joke, I guess!" snorted
old Chief Vox Trot, as Pochahontaa"
father was called
For some moments the captain con
tinued to guffaw so heartily that lie
was unable to speak. Finally he ex
plained: "I guffaw, guffaw! I just-thought
of a guffaw! Joke. Chief, all my
life I have been an inveterate, chronic
and incurable punster, and I guffrw,
