COLONEL HINTON secretary of the
senate committee investigating the
question of irrigation in the west says
that the inquiry so far, has devel-
oped the following facts and possible
ties:
First-In order then is the signifi-
cant conclusion that has been reached
to the effect that the possible supply of
water is very much greater than was
deemed probable. And this is true of
all parts, even as to Nevada and the
presumed to be the unclaimable parts
of California, Arizona, New Mexico
| and Utah.
Second-The largest supply of Access
IDLE and running water in all the re-
| gion is found in the northwest, where
/ the abundant volume of river supply
makes the engineers problems of a
| simple character in that direction,
however intricate they may be as to
the means of distributing the same.
The same is true to a considerable ex-
tant in southern and central Arizo-
ma.
Third-The whole question of irri-
cation resolves itself, simply and abb
solutely, IN the last resort to one OF
the storage of the unused storm, win
ter and tOrrential waters. In no place
so far visited can it be found outside
of the limited fruit raising area oil
southern California that more than Is
per cent of the water actually availa-
BILE for irrigation is now used. Not {
per cent of the total supply which car
be utilized is now made serviceable
This is not a matter of guessing, but
hard-pan engineering fact. / repea
that the final solution of the reclama
tion problem is shown by the current
inquiry to be finally aud wholly one o.
: storage alone. Distribution is cas-,
] when storage is achieved. By that
! mean high altitude reservoirs ant
drainage districts. This is a most i'm
! portant fact, because in ALI cases OK
cept a very limited area effected b
! unadjudicated Spanish land grants
the mountain areas still belong to th
, national government.

THE packers say there is no COM
bine and that competition is free and
unfettered. The cattle shippers to a
man who visit the market daily, say
there is no competition 1whatever and
that they are at the mercy of the pack
ers. They say so privately. Very
few OF them had the courage to go be-
fore the senate committee and testify
against the packers. They feared to
do so. They say that it would be sui
cidal, that the packers would boycott
them, and drive them out of the mar
ket. They stand in the same relation
to the packers that his oppressed sub
jects do to the Russian car. There is
the same terror, the same dread of the
one as of the other. This is hopeful
situation in a land of equal rights and
popular sovereignty isn't 1t?

Fred Smith an old offender. who
was caught in Brewers barn. in the
south east part Of the county last win
Ter in the act Of stealing horse, yet
was acquitted on trial. by jury, was
locked up by Sheriff Worster Saturday
night. It seems that about two weeks
ago Smith came to town and called at
Atherton's meat market and told Mr..
Atherton that he had a heifer he
wished to sell and Atherton said be
would buy. According TO Smiths
story. he and Pete Wieland started to
bring the heifer to this
city but the animal became frightened
out on Coal creek, and jumped over a
wire fence into pasture and the boys
could not drive her out of the timber.
This is statement of the first proceed
ings. Smith then came TO town and
told Atherton that he could not sue
coed in driving the COW into town,
whereupon Atherton stated that he
would send his man out there and he
could secure this one and another that
he had purchased near there. Now
for part third. Smith goes back out on
Coal creek and drives another heifer
owned and branded By David 7. Nor
ris, up to W. N. d. Rird's pasture
where he left the animal, and came in
and told Mr.. Atherton that he had
driven the COW in himself. The two
then went out and the heifer was driv-
en- to the slaughter pen and weighed
and Smith was paid $3.50. Part fourth
soneH parties who suspicioned thai
something crooked could be found in
the deal, and after skirmishing around
for some time Saturday, Smithy was
arrested by Sheriff Worster and nov
IaDguishes in durance vile. He will
be tried Monday at 8 o'clock before
Judge Evans.
The sheriff went out to the first men
toned pasture yesterday, and after z
continued search in the mud and raiI
the animal first spoken of was founc
in the timber. Smith now claims this
is the one he sold Atherton, but it il
not, as the one Anterior killed was o.
a different color and was branded Will
the D. T. Morris brand, which is reg
istered at theicourt house. Appearance
certainly are against Smith, and it is
pretty safe case against him. Ht
is one of the toughest characters
in the county, and always had the rep
utation of being OF a mean, sneakin,
disposition, and will probably spen'
some time now considering some of hi
past devilment. About six months ag
he was arrested for similar offenc
in Greenwood county, and had mar
row escape from the pen.
