SENATORS URGE WESTENER FOR
SECRETARY INTERIOR
Washington, Jan 15, Dem
ocratic senators from the Rock)
Mountain region-today sent to
residint-elect Wilson a letter
urging the selection of a repre
sentative of their sections as
secretary of the interior. Mi
Wilson was assured, that ap
pointment of former Govenoi
L. Norri3 of Montana, tormei
Governor James H.Hawley of
dabo, J. N. Field of Oregon, pi
Clay Tallman of Nevada, will be
satisfactory to the democrats of
the far west. Senator New lands?
of Nevada, Chamberlain of Ore
gon, Myers of Montana, Perky
of Idaho and Smith and Ashmi
of Arizona were the signers f
the letter,
The senators declined to mak
public the text of their letter t
Governor Wilson, but Senator
Rowlands was authorized to
make a statement regarding it
He said that six senators repre
sented, states containing . the
bulk of the public lands and felt
that they should be heard in
connection with the selection of
a secretary of th interior be
cause of his connection with the
administration of public land
questions.
j.n our communication we
urged that the problems of tin
interior department relate to the
public lands, the administratioi
ana management ot water re
sources, the administration of
India affairs, the development
of irrigation projects, and the
development of the natural re
sources of the c untry," said
Mr. New la nds. "Therefore, we
contend it 19 essential tlvit the
secretary of the interior be
chosen from the school of ex
perieuce ii no is io uo quaunei;
properly to administer affairs
of such vital importance to the
western people." Ex.

HOMESTEADERS ARE FILING.
, Twenty-four hundred and
eighty acres were filed on for
homestead at the local land of
flee Thursday. Most of this
vs in the eftstern part of the ;
state,
Contrary to t belief of many
many peop'e ae coming in and
settling on . the government
aiids. Some are even settling
on land not yet open for entry.
Much of this is in the eastern
part of Chaves county. One day
last week 3820 acres were filed
on.
Very few days lapse at the
local land office that two to fie
do not make applications to file.
There are 400,000 acres across
the Pecos river in Chaves coun
ty, and 1,843,200 acres in east
ern Eddy county which has not
even been surveyed and v opened
to homestead. The only right
homestesders have to this is to
'squat" on it. They will then,
of course have fitst right when
it is opened.
It is thought that this land
will soon be surveyed. Ex.
