President Roosevelt vetoed a Senate measure granting 33 725 to the San Carlos Apache for 232 320 acres of land ceded in 1896 and reopening lands to mineral entry. He said the payment effectively covers far less acreage and urged further congressional consideration. A four day inspection trip by 35 or 40 officials will begin in Roswell, New Mexico, visiting Hondo Reservoir and other Pecos River area sites as part of the National Resources Planning Board study.

Plan Appeal Decision Middle Rio Grande Plan Appeal
Attorneys for both sides planned today an appeal to the state supreme court in a case where Judge Eugene Lujan held Middle Rio Grande conservancy assessments legal but ruled out land sales when payment is delinquent. The conservancy director urged an appeal while plaintiffs' lawyers said they would appeal the part upholding the assessments. The case by Joseph F. Tondre et al against Valencia county treasurer sought to stop refusal to accept state and county taxes unless accompanied by conservancy payments. Judge Lujan enjoined the procedure, voiding a conservancy law section. If district court rulings fail, foreclosure would be the only means to collect unpaid assessments.

Protests Over Pecos Fishing Ban Reach State Officials
State game warden Elliott Barker urged Senator Carl Hatch to ask the General Land Office to block the Red Bluff power control district from closing Pecos river waters to fishing. The district on the New Mexico Texas line has posted the Red Bluff reservoir and portions of the Pecos to fishing. Barker said public land means the water is a public resource and plans to appeal to the secretary of the interior if action fails. He spoke after a five day field trip across northern New Mexico.
