Special to The Times.
Roewell, X. M., May 4—More Impor-
tant building is now in progress in
Roswell than has been seen at one
time In several years. Rufus W. Smith
is erecting on East Fourth street a
seventy-five foot stone front and brick
business house that will be used as a
printing office. W. H. Oodair Is
building a home for the Cummins
garage on Richardson avenue, be-
tween Second and Fourth. The gar-
age will he fifty feet front, and 200
feet deep, with divewav at the side to
make it possible to circle through
the house. The garage is being built
of brick, concrete and steel, and will
be absolutely fireproof. The walls on
these two buildings are half way up.
The new, four-story concrete Mont
Miller hotel has assumed its full pro-
portions and the workmen are now
inside the building. Excavation for
the new Chaves county courthouse
is well under way. Many private resi-
dences are going up, and dozens of

the Engle enterprise of the reclama-
tion service. Mr. Snow declares his
belief that without opposition the
project may Je finished within four
years; and ™t its soon as It is in
operation, it will at once demonstrate
that the How of the Rio Grande is
ample to provide both for it and the
people of the- upper valley. Mr. Snow

taken, and is final; that the project

ing on. Much of the outgoing stock
is seeking better pastures in Kansas
and Colorado and u smaller percent-
age is going to the Panhadle of Texas.
This cause Is not the only one> for the
heavy shipment at this time, howeve -.
It happens that there has been a big
traffic iu heavy entile this spring,
four and five-year-old steers that have
been accumulating for many seasons,
and this aids in making in making the
shipping extra heavy. The Peoos val-
ley railroad is running extra trains
every day to carry out the stock. On
top of the stock movement will come
In a few days the first crop of alfalfa.
Roswell, N. M, , May 4.—The new-
ly elected members of the Roswell
board of education met last nigljj
with the hold-overs and organized for
tile coming two years by re-electing
Dr. William T. Joyner president, re-
eleeJlng Joseph J. Jaffa vice-presi-
dent. by choosing; Capt. M. S. Murray
clerk, and by re-electing M. H. Brash-
er superintendent, witli his salary in-
creased to *2000 iter year. Supt.
Brasher is now rounding out his third
term and the schools of Roswell have
gone forward with a bound under his
supervision. His new contract • will
cover the coming two years.

"With all duo regard for the inter-

Mr. Snow yesterday, "I am positive
that you do not uniei stand the situ-
ation properly. I think it will he of
great benefit to (lie people here and
the southern water users both, as

might have damaged the project. l>ut
I think it is too late now to accom-

for everyone is to co-operate for the
early completion of the project.

.lose Chavez, one of the commission-
ers of the Tajique Lnnd Grant, In Tor-
rance county, had n very narrow escape
on Monday of last week, and he will be
lucky If he retains the use of his hands,
says the EstanHa News. While clean-
* ing out the Tajique spring, It was
thought best to blast away some of the
huge boulders. A blast was set and the
fuse fired. After waiting a time, he
decided that it had died out, and went up
to relight it, when the explosion came.
His Hands were horribly town and his
fuc» badly cut and scratched. Dr. Amble

operation the sooner will the pres-
ent restrictions on the upper river be
removed.
"New Mexico Is getting the lion's
share of the benefit of the project.
It will reclaim 110,000 acres In this
territory as compared with 35,000
acres In old Mexico and 55.000 acres
in Texas, or 90,000 acres outside the
territory. New Mexico's balance- being
tints 20,000 acres.
"The division of the acreage con-
forms to the agreement reached be-
tween delegates from New Mexico
and Texas at the Twelfth Irrigation
congress In El Paso, so that New
Mexico has had full representation in
the matter.
"Delay for tho project, now would
work a real hardship on the farmers
in the Mesilla valley who have mort-
gaged their land to the government
for from $40 to $50 an acre, the ex-
act figure to be determined after the
completion of the dam. It must be
completed in order for these me/i to
lift, the mortgages from their lands.
Results under the Leasberg diver-
sion dam, the part of the project now
complete havo shown that the land
will readily yield from $70 to $90 an
acre so that payment hack to the
government of its nine million dol-
lars Is assuredly easy, once the sys
tern is In operation.
"I do not believe that New Mexico
water restrictions will interefere with
any large projects in the upper val
ley in the short time of four years
No large enterprise as far as I can
learn Is actually ready to start work
In the northern Rio Grande valley.
Your people are not ready and w.tl
hardly be ready for four years
yet, by which time I feel assured it
will be shown that there is plenty of
water for all of us. In my opinion
your problem here Is not too little
water, but too much water, drain-
age being needed more than greater
Irrigation.
"The successful completion of the
Elephant Butte project will he the
greatest achievement of the reclama-
tion service, which Is now working
against strong opposition In many
quarters and will full justify the pret,-
lent reclamation policy of the govern-
ment. It is the biggest undertaking
| yet, and if It succeeds, the present
methods of the government in irrigat-
ing tho west will be fully vindicated.
"This will mean more great recla-
mation projects In the southwest and
In New Mexico, and the Engle enter-
prise Is the crmial test of the whole
plan of the government for saving
the arid lands. In this way It ap
pears to me that the best Interests of

QUARREL OVER WATER.
Sandoval
Citizens Go to Law Over
Water Rights.
A lengthy suit, asking for an in.
junction against the acoqtlla commis-
sioners of the Aceqnla Abru da los
Cerros near Casa Salazar, Sandoval
county, X. M„ was filed Tuesday In
the district court Tor that county.
The suit Is brought bv Sandldo
stockman and Chavez and a large number of small
ranchers in that county and the ac-
tion Is directed against Rafael Jara-
uilllo, Francisco Zamora and Eleute-
ri-o Martinez, commissioners.
Briefly, tlie suit is to force the com-
missioners to permit the plaintiffs to
use water from the acequn and to
continue the accquia along the ditches
where it Is .■.aid. It rightfully belonged.
According to the petition, the com-
missioners diverted the water into a
new channel, leaving some of th©
ranchers in the vicinity with no water
The petition reviews the subject of ir-
rigation in that district since 1871 and
tells of the various dams constructed
In the Rio Pueblo for irrigation pur-
poses. Finally all the systems of the
various ranchers were consolidated,
according to the petition, and the wa-
ter run through one large common
acequlu. on which all water users did
a certain amount of work each year.
The plaintiffs in the suit filed charge
had n 30 30 Winchester the eommlsxloners with attempting to
prevent them from securing water
front this common ditch and say that
they depend upon their crops for a
livelihood and must have relief. The
court is asked to restrain the commis-
sioners from changing the course of
the ut.-equitt and preventing the plain-
tiff;’, from securing water for Irriga-
tion.

A “Sauare Deal
For Women
It it often argued that women do not have an equal chance
with lie n, because women suffer so much from pain and weakness.
In a tera] souse, it is true that women bear more physical pain
than i n. JTowover, the belief that women must suffer regularly,
on a- nt of ailments and weakness peculiar to their sex, has been
guer."-fully contradicted hy the relief so many women have ob-
tain' . ty the use of f'ardui, that (front remedy for women.
Mrs, S. J. K tut tier, of It. F. II. No. 2, Defiance, Ohio, tried
Cardui and of her experience she writes: “I have taken six bottles
of Cardui and have been greatly benefited. Before taking Cardui,
I couldn't bo on my feet half an hour at a time, hut now I can
work all day. I sleep well and the pain in my right side and lower
limbs is all gone. 1 am in better health titan 1 have been for five
years. I shall recommend Cardui to all my friends,”
What Cardui has done for Mrs. Kintner and other women, it
surely can do for you. Try it once. Give yourself a ‘'square deal.”
Pardui is sold everywhere, hy all reliable druggists, witli instruct-
ions for uae. #
