Oflclal Papir of thi City and Comity
The Tikes hat never favored a di-
vision of Texas bat there matt be tom*
strong reasons for it, for tbs Dsllas
News says: “Tbs suggestion to make
several states of Texas is all bosh.” It
is always safs to favor what that papsr
oondsmns. . .
THE DAM IS THE THING
Ysstsrdsy’s Tikes Informed Its
raadtrs that Siorstary Olnsy had,
ilk* othar oabinst offloere, mads a re-
port to tha president and that Mr. Ol-
nay's report was soot to oongrsss as an
appendix to Mr. Cleveland's massage.
Th* Tikes farther acquainted its
tafidars with the tubjjota of Mr. Ol-
nay’s report. Io the synopsis of these
•nbjeote tha following paragraph ap
peered.
The extension for one year of the functions
of tha Mexican boundary co emission In order
to allow It to pass upon the important Issues of
Irrigation and storage dams an the Klo Grand*
river, ia noted.
Now everybody knows that tbs Mez-
loan boundary commission has only
ona irrigation and storage dam toda-
oida upon and as the paragraph states,
Ilia on th* Bio Qrande and w* osn add
that it la proj toted at El Paso, Texas,
and is known as ths International, or
Mill* dam.
Thus it is gratifying to know that
oar dam la getting Its fall share of at-
tention at Washington. The United
States Is virtually now under treaty
obligations to aot with Mextoo ia this
matter. Tbs history of the Mills dam
la wall told by Mr. William E. Oartis
of the Chicago Rtoord, who was In El
Faaoraoantly to oollaol th* data. H*
aays:
On th* 6th day of May, 1896, a treaty
waa oonolnded between Maxioo and tha
United States for tha appointment of
» commission to Investigate and report
upon various question* bearing upon
tha distribution of tha waters of th*
Rio Grand*, and th* proposed oon-
atraotion of an International dam near
El Peso, whloh are of vital lmportano*
to th* egvloaltaral sod manufacturing
Industrie* of that aaetlon. Captain
OathT of th* United States engineers
oad Colon*' 1. Ramos do Ibarrola of
Mexico, srtth severs! assistant*, hava
th* work in ohargo, and era now en-
gaged In making preliminary snrvaya.
A glanoa at the map will show that th*
Rio Grand* river, Hading its soaro* in
Colorado, flows southward tbroogh
New Msxloo until It raaohaa El Paso,
whara it tarns eoathaaswerd and bo-
oomas th* dtvidiog Una between Taxes
•nd Msxloo, For thra* months in th*
yaar, daring the rainy rsaaen and tb*
time of malting anows, tb* rlvar is
bank fall. For nine months in tbs
year It ia nearly dry, booaoa* of th*
evaporation, whloh Is very rapid Io
that ollmata, and baoaoa* th* water is
ao extensively used for irrigation In
Colorado and New Maxioo that it is
exhausted before it roaobas El Paso.
As ■ natural oonssqaono* oltlzine
of both the United States and
Maxioo, who reside below El
Paso, have suffered serious damage by
being deprived of water for irrigation
and for thair stook, without consider-
ing th* advantages it might offer In
ths way of power to drlv* machinery
and In tha lower Rio Grand* for
navigation. It is estimated that tha
damages suffered atno* the treaty of
1853, whloh mad* tb* rlvar oommon
property between tba two nations,
amount to 818,000,000 on ths Amerloan
side and 81,000,000 on th* Maxloan
side, and these claims thonld alt He
agslnsttha United States, because oar
people have exhausted tha water. The
Mextosas have had little or none of i*,
axoept daring th* seasons' when they
needed ths least.
Some years ago Colonel Anson Mills
of ths United States army proposed to
solv* this problem by oonstrnottng a
dam across a narrow gap bstwsen two
mountains tbroogh whloh tha rlvar
flows. Nature seams to have Intended
that soma aaoh thlog should b* dons.
Th* gorge Is only a short distance
from the olty of El Paso, to whloh It
gava a name.
Preliminary examinations wars mads
some years ago,by Englntor Follatte of
thsUnltad States geological survey,
bat they were attempted to determine
ths strata to ba encountered and th*
kind of formation that oan ba secured
as a foundation for ths walls of the
dam. This, of ooarsa, Is vary Import-
ant, as It will bs nsossssry to prevent
filtration of ths water and ssoara tha
dam against tbs enormous pressure of
th* floods. A general survey has
shown that a dam 400 feet long and 60
fast high will furnish • reservoir six-
teen miles long, two miles wide and
alxty feat deep, or aboat thirty square
miles lineal measure, whloh would be
auiSolantto hold tha entire present
flow of tbs rlvar for a year and furnl-h
Irrigation for millions of sorts through
th* entire valley. Those who have
seen ^the Irrigated gardens and
farms along tha banks of that river
know what this means. Five years
ago, when Engineer Follatte mads his
survey, ths oost of oonstrnotlog ths
dam was estimated to bs 81,100,000, bat
now It will oost maoh less beoauve of
ths Improvement in msohlnery and
ths lower prloss of labor and material.
Mors than half this money will be re-
qalred to remove ths trsoks of ths
Santa Fa and Southern Paolflo rail-
roads, wbloh run through tha gorge.
Ths dam Itself will not oost mors then
8500,000, bat ths grade of ths Santa Fe
railroad will have to bs raised for more
than fonrtesn miles, and that of tbs
Southern Paolflo for more than six
miles, and a new right of way will hava
to ba fonod for them, whloh will b*
expansive.

Postmaster General's Beport.
Washington, Deo. 8—Io a vigorous
protest against ths abase of the postal
aeivloe made in tha annual report cl
Postmaster General Wilson, he qaotea
figures whloh ehow an exoess of ex-
pendltoreeover reoelpte of 88,127,088
for the past fiscal year, which, however,
Is a decrease In tbe deficiency of 81,-
679 866, as compared with the previoos
fiscal year. This satisfactory exhibit
for tbe past yew baa been made possi-
ble, the postmaster general sate forth,
by a vigorous polioy of bringing salt
or pushing ootteotion on bonde im
mediately after a default whloh le tha
only safe praotioa for tha Intereete of
the government and tbosa of obligors.
The postmaster general argnee that
there le no necessity for an annnal
deficit to ths revenues of the depart-
ment, and that bnt a few lines of
amendment by oongrsss to tbe postal
laws will wipe it oat and glva in its
plaoe a steady surplus. It has tte
ohlefsonroe, he says In ths transmis
•Ion of second olass rates of a large and
rapidly increasing volume of matter
never in contemplation of the law
whioh gives a nominal rata of 1 oe t
per ponnd oo snob matter and assured
ly outside of the polfoy of the law as to
newspapers and periodloals.
The report recites strenuous efforts
of the pest to eeonro legislation de-
signed to protect the postal service
from this waste of Its earnlogs and tax
payers from a large harden Imposed on
them by regalar deficits. Bat, It soys,
ap to now ths combinations and active
efforts of tbe benefloarlse ot this abase
have parried all appeals of the report.
