of the Southern California, affords some
idea of what the newly opened land
will brine forth in the line of corn, wheat
o.its, alfalfa, grapes and fruit of all de-
scriptions.
There are two object.* in view; one is
to utilize the waste land of the Jornada,
which is so extremely fertile, and the
other is to afford an impetus to tho towns
of Las Graces, El Paso and others lying
between . The El Paso people arc very
'largely interested in the success of this
enterprise, since it is calculated to supply
with water a very large extent of fertile
land laying adjacent to that town, the
population of which is now 15.000.
Many depressions in the JorAada will
be utilized as resevoirs and the San And-
ress and Organ range will supply storage
sites. The existence of the canal will
have considerable influence in regulating
the spring flow in the llio Grande. The
whole tract is now used solely,for'grazing
purposes, over which water is pumped to
supply the need of the stock.
The region of the Jornada has been ex-
citing wide-spread comment and discuss-
ion lately. This is not confined to the
Unted States. The last issue of the Field,
the leading English agricultural magazine
contains a somewhat lengthy and accur-
ate descriprion of the as yet uncultivated
but fertile land in the valley of the Rio
Grande,

About Horse*' Feel.
Perhaps tho weakest point in our
grand breed of cart horses is their feet,
particularly if we include their coronets,
which arc upt to he afflicted with side
bones ami ring bones, says The Saturday
Review In paved cities and 6ver stony
roads good feet are of the most impor-
tance, yet there are men of no littloex-
perionco who are of opinioA that the feet
of a thoroughbred horse will generally
bear more battering upon hard and
rough surfaces than those of a draught
h<?rse. With regard to their heels and
legs it may not be generally known that,
while Englishmen liko to seo them well
covered with long, wavy hair, the con-
trary taste prevails in many parts of
America, where tho sudden and severe
frosts are apt to freeze a superabundance
of wet hair into a solid mass. It may
be worth mentioning that the monks at
tho Hospice of St. Bernard prefer the
smooth coated dogs to the rough for pre-
cisely the same reason, although English
dog fanciers are fondest of the rough
coated St. Bernards.

THE JORNADA DITCH.
While the Mexican Central is doing |
the the business the Mexican National j
road is having a turn of abuse as can be j
inferred from the following irony in the ,
Two Republics which says:
This editors of the small-papers pub-!
lished in the towns along the National
Railroad seem to be all railroad men.
They are telling the officers of the Nat-
ional a great deal about railway man-
agement which the latter did not know,
One or two local contemporaries have
also very rcccntly become railroad experts
and are regularly telling how much—or
little—they know about the managment
of the National Railroad. If the rail-
road men only knew as muck about rail-
rouding as do some editors what splendid
Bprvire ws would Lave in Mexico. Since
it is evident that the good railroad men
all lodged in the newspaper offices, we
should not be surprised to And that the
railways are run by journalists who have
missed their vocation; hence we should
prepare to follow the advice as to how
our papers should be conducted.
What Is flirtation? Really
How can I tell you thatf
But when she smiles 1 see its wiles,
And when be lifts his hat.
Tis walking In the moonlight.
Tis buttoning on a glove;
'Tis tins that.speak of plays next week,
While eyes aro talking love.
'Tis meeting fti tho ballroom,
'Tis whirling in the dance,
'Tis something hid beneath the lid,
More than a simple glance.
'Tis lingering In the hallway.
'Tis sitting on the stair,
Tis bearded lips on finger tips
If mamma isn't there.
'Tis tucking In the carriage,
'Tis asking for a call,
'Tis long good nights in tender lights,
And that is—no, not ail!
"Tis parting when it's over,
And one goes home to sleep;
Best joys must end, tra la, my friend,
But one goes home to weepl

I Denver News |
Yesterday's News contained a dispatch
from Washington telling of the favorable
report of the house committee on agricul-
ture on the Joseph bill "to promote the
interests of agriculture by irrigation and
encourage the settlement of arid lands
in New Mexico" also creating the
Jornada and El Paso Reservoir and
Canal company.
A more detailed account of what this
company expect to effect will be read with
interest by those who are interested in
irrigation problem s The largest ditch ever
constructed for irrigation purposes will
leave the Rio Grande about twenty miles
above San Martial near Amy. It will
traverse the whole extent of the Jornada
del Mucrto desert and reach the Rio
Grande again at El Paso. This will be
a distance of over 220 miles through that
region made famous by the fact that it
is the scene of the murderous descents of
the Apaches upon the unsuspecting
travelers. Tl'e tales of bloodshed and
rapine heave coupled the terrific Apache
name with this treeless tract and given it
its ominionsname "the journey of death."
At the point where the ditch leaves the
river the latter has a fall of six feet to the
mile. It will have a width of fifty feet at
the bottom and will water a tract many
, miles in extent on either side of its course.
The construction will take two or three
years, and will cmyloy over iJOO men. It
is estimated lhat the supply of water will
be sufficient for more than one-half mil-
lion acers. The Organ range will be cros
scd at the San Augustine pass.,The moun
tains here are seamed with dirt ravines
and gulches which can be utilized as a
water course by the employment of
dams. t
The company will sfk the government
for a grant of about 1,000,000 acres on
either side of flw canal in alternate sec
tions. It ivill use every means to induce
immigration, and cannot fail to be suc-
cessful, for the tracts below which are
now well watered produce every variety
of fruit and grain in the greatest luxuri-
ance. This land is crpable of producing
as much or more.
As soon as the bill is passed by con
gressNew York capitalists stand ready to
take he matter in hand, and the whole
country for ten miles on either side of
the water supply will soon, blossom like
the rose. The Santa Fe road, which runs
through the Jornada, will form a ready
outlet for the products of the soil. The
Mesilla valley below which is one vast
vineyard and grain field reminding one
Yot will notice that the Times is
fond of printing "Capt" or "Major.'
"Col," in front of every name.

Mr. Bayers, one of the Texas ablest

very simple terms.
Thought Her I'apa Was Perfection,
'llio precocity and cute sayings of chil-
dren are frequently a source of great
amusement. When T. P. Shonts, the
general manager of tho Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa railway, was at the Palmer
house a day or two ago he received a let-
ter from home, and a certain portion of
it lie read to Frank Brobst, the clerk of
tho hotel. This portion was about Mr.
Shonts' little 8-year-old daughter Mar-
guerite. Tho mother wrote that upon
getting the child ready for bed the
usual form of saying a prayer wa3 under-
gone. Marguerite had got through all
right with tho "God bless Marguerite
and make her a good girl, God bless
mamma and make her good so she won't
spank Marguerite; God bless papa and
make"— When sho had got thus far
she stopped, hesitated a moment, then
getting off her knees said very solemnly
to her mother: "I des it ain't worth
while astin.Dod to make my papaadood
man; he's dest about as dood as he tan
be now. Er ain't no use in boddering
Dod, is ci\ mamma?"—Chicago Herald.
Another Learned Shoemaker.
Mr. John Mackintosh, author of "The
History of Civilization in Scotland," who
will write the volume "Scotland" in the
"Story of the Nations Series," is in many
respects a remarkable man. He was
sent to work on a farm in his native
county of Banff at 10 years of age, and
was subsequently apprenticed to shoe-
making, at which trade he worked in
various parts of Scotland for fourteen
years. In 1869 heopened a small station-
ery shop in Aberdeen, "and there, on the
shop counter," he once wrote, "amid all
the noise and hustle of a stirring thor-
oughfare, the three volumes of my his-
tory were written and the proof sheets
corrected and revised, all being done
while customers were corning in and out
and constantly interrupting me."
Mr. Mackintosh's shop is passed daily
by the professors on their way to the
university, and at one time several of
them were in tho habit of calling oc-
casionally and having a chat with the
literary shoemaker. Uo was accorded
tho privilege, too, of using the university
library. His history consists of four
portly volumes, the last and best dealing
with the moral and material advance-
ment of the country. Mr. Mackintosh
has been in the habit all his life of rising
before 4 a. m. He says he finds tho early
morning hours the best for literary work.
