ST. PAUL, Oct. 23.-Professor Nettle,
ton, of Washington, in charge of the
government irrigation surveys in the
West, was in St. Paul Wednesday on
his way to North Dakota. He is in
special charge of the work of engineer
ing. The recent session of congress, it
will be remembered, made additional
provision for this irrigation survey, and
although the present work is continued
under the appropriation made by the
last congress, the scope of the depart.

of the whole subject of underground
water supply, and the means of utilizing
it for the benefit of agriculture. Pro-
lessor Nettleton reports that under this
plan OF operations an organization has
just been completed, dividing the work
into departments of engineering, geolog-

Kansas, in charge of the department of
geology, and Col. Richard J. Hinton, of
Washington, D. c., who has in charge
the collection and compilation of statis-
tics relating to irrigation and under
ground water supply.
If the Heavens Won't the Earth Must.
Professor Nettleton says that Secre.
tary Rusk takes great personal interest
in the matter of irrigation, and wishes
the farmers of the West to know that
he wants their personal cooperation in
making the work successful He says
that he will have the weather bureau in
his charge by the first of next July, and
then, Secretary Rusk remarked, IF we
can't make it rain rain, we will make
it rain wheat for the farmers of the
Northwest, and if the heavens won't
furnish the water the earth must.
Work will be begun in North Dakota
and continued there as long as the
weather will permit. Then the party
will go south through South Dakota,
Nebraska, Kansas, Indian Territory,
New Mexico and Texas, keeping at
work all winter, and returning to the
Dakotas in the spring.

IF THEY OBEY THE LAWS,
Americans Are as Well Treated in Mex
loo as ANY One.

DENVER, Col, Oct. 22.-Col. A. J.
Sampson, United States consul at Paso
Del Norte, is in Denver on business.
Col. Sampson was asked regarding the
numerous complaints which have been
sent out relative to the alleged ill-treat-
ment of Americans arrested in Paso Del
Norte, and said: Arrests have been
wildly exaggerated. II an American
disobeys the law in Mexico he is ar
rested just the same as a Mexican would
be in the United States. Mexican laws
differ from those of our country. If an
American cannot abide by their laws
he should not remain there. The Off
GERS are supposed to uphold the law and
so far as l can see they do so. Ameri
cans are given as fair trial as possible;
in fact, | think there is some discrimina-
ton in their favor. 1t is the consuls
duty at Paso Del Norte to look out that
other prisoners are not given preference
over Americans; that trials are con-
Quoted fairly, and many of the cases
which have been reported to American
newspapers, | know from my own per-
sonal observation, are greatly exagger-
