Eel Paso's Big Irrigating Project.

In order to further the project of Sc
curing government aid for tie gigantic
irrigating scheme now on foot in Texas,
the citizens committee of FL Paso is en-
tering on correspondence with Mai.
j. w. Powell, Director of the United
States Geological Survey, Senator Coke
and Representative Lanham, with q view
of getting those gentlemen to go there
for q personal inspection of the condi-
lions. The special object is to get Mai.
Powell to decide as to the best plan to
be adopted Two plans have been sug-
gestei, one providing for an enormous
dam just above El Paso, the other for a
dam at Fort Seldom, fifty miles north of
FL Paso. Maj. Powell has expressed the
opinion that the questions of silt evnp-
orations and the flow of water are all the
points to be determined before asking
Congress for aid. He also says the
riparian rights of all the Americans liv-
ing along the river must be settled by
law and treaty must be made with
Mexico to adjust her claim to the water
of the Rio Grande.

A Target Marker Killed.

A sad accident occurred at the rifle range at
Hollywood. Chicago, Wednesday. Company
f, of the First Regiment, was at target prac-
tice Several shots had been fired without
being marked, when one of the men was sent to
find out what was the matter. On reaching
the rifle butts he was Mortified to find that one
Of the shots had struck the marker, young
boy named Bolde, killing him instantly. Con
trary to orders the boy was standing behind
the target, when bullet struck the round
axis about two or three feet above him and,
glanclhg down, entered his left breast, coming
out lower. The parents of the dead boy eX-
onerate the members of the company from all
blame in the matter, it being an unavoidable
accident

Heretofore the press of FL Paso, Texas, con-
sistlng of a morning and two evening papers,
has been unanimous In favor of the Demo
cratic ticket, and for that reason the political
campaign has up To now been u rather tame
and one-sided affair. The sensation Of the
day, however, is the DETECTION OF the Herald,
which announced to-day that 1t would here
after oppose the Democratic ticket. At the
same time the Tribune another of the dailies,
intmated In guarded manner that while 1t
would continue in favor of the National
Democratic ticket, 1t would oppose the local
ticket OF that party. This has discouraged
the Democrats 10 an appreciable degree, and
threatens to interfere materially with the
hitherto existing Democratic ascendoncy in
the county Globe Democrat.

house and one or two horses of good repute
Among the drivers there is none at pres
ent IN active service who can compare for
sensational fame and success with Edwin
blfher. he is one of the youngest drivers
IN tue business, having been born in 1851.
Ills name is inseparably associated with
that OF the famous horse Jay-Eye-See, and
blther put himself in the very front of the
'front.' rank OF drivers by getting record of
2:lO out of that horse. He is still driving
for }. l. Case, although he frequently takes
outside business when occasion offers He
Is looked upon by his associates in the bust
ness as a man of phenomenal luck, for while
he is a good driver, it is not generally be-
lleved that he is a better one than Budd
Doble, for instance. The difference is that
blther bad the good fortune to sit behind
the greatest horses of the age. Bither is
rapidly getting rich out of his business and
makes en- income of upward of $4,000 a
year
Probably the most famous driver of
horses upon the turf to-day in Budd Doble.
He was born in 1912. He has been rider
from his earliest days and has several times
driven horses that broke the record. Most
of the famous trotters of this country have
at one time or another been under his direc-
lions. His income during his business
career has been reckoned by many thou
sand, and has at last reached such salts
factory proportions that he has retired from
any active work upon the turf.
William Z. Weeks, of New York is
driver who has met with steady success
since he took his seat in gig, nearly thirty
years ego. He has not been one of the phe-
nomena of the turf, but has accumulated a
more than comic table competence, and is
to-day the owner of severa horses He
maintains his active connection with racing
matters, and probably will to the end of his
life.
One of the most famous drivers of recent
s asons was James A. Dustin, who entered
the racing field in 1871 He has been sue
cessful in all parts of the country, and
not long ago was enabled TO settle at
Springfield, Mass, and build up a stable of
his own.
Without mentioning names, it may be
said of nearly all successful jockeys,
whether riders or drivers, that they do not
possess at a given period of their lives a
fortune which is adequate to the income
they have received They are nearly all
led into the whirl of race-track gambling,
and in spite of the expert knowledge which
they bring to bear in placing their money,
they come out, as rule, at the little end
of the horn. and find that fortune has
slipped as readily through their fingers as
through those of the veriest greenhorn of
the turf
