banning tho Rio Grande. }.

Philip Harroun returned from Ell Paso
this morning, He had been there several
weeks on duty with the photographic
division OF the U. s. geological survey,
but found 1t quite uncomfortable there
with the thermometer registering lis in
the shade, hence he has secured a trans
fer to the typographical division, which
brings him back amid the cooling breezes
OF the Santa Fe mountains. Mr.. Harroun
says two sites have been chosen for the
big dam which the government proposes
to build across the Rio Grande near FL
Paso, one two miles above and the. .other
four miles above. The senatorial commit
tee on irrigation is expected there about
the middle of September and its members
will be consulted as to the most feasible
of the two sites. The matter will then
have to be taken before congress, and the
Mexican government must be conferred
with, so that on the whole it NAV be
fully three years before this dam is in
course of construction.

Judicial Systems.

HELENA Mont, July 3O.--An effort is
being made here by the leading lawyers
to prevent the insertion OF o provision in
the constitution as to the California sys.
TEN of superior courts, and adopt the
system contained in the constitution Of
1884. The Montana bar association met
recently in semi-annual session, with
twenty-nine members present. The prn-
cipal business before the meeting was the
adoption or rejection OF a resolution sub.
mitted by ex-United States Atty. Gen.
Robert 3. Smith, which was as follows
Resolved, That it is the sense OF this
association that the system OF district
courts, as adopted in the constitution OF
1884, is to be preferred for the state of
Montana to the superior court system now
in vogue in California.
Mr.. Smith spoke at some length in its
favor. Judge Dixon pronounced himself
against the resolution and directly in
favor Of the California system. In some
cases only, where it might be necessary
to investigate the affairs OF county officials
Or those holding offices where the court
has no occasion to look into, he would
favor grand jury; but in relation to
business it was burden, m
Extra expense on the people.
