IRRIGATION DISCUSSION.
The District Delegates Prepare a Bill
For the Legislature.
1t VIII Provide for the Creation of a
State Association of Irrigating
Districts.

The irrigating district delegates reas-
sembled at the Clunie building yesterday
and continued in session all day.
There was some lively discussion over
a proposition to amend the Wright Iirri.
CATION law, so as to permit irrigation dis
tricts to take stock in private canals and
bitches.
viii S. Green, of Colusa, and Messrs
osterhaus and Merrill opposed the propo.
sition vigorously. Holt and Mauce ar
gued for the other side.
The matter was finally laid over for fu-
ture consideration, without any agree
ment being reached.
The Association decided to present 2
bill TO the Legislature to.create q State as
sociatlon of irrigation districts and pro-
vide for the creation ofaState Board OF IT,
rlgatlon to manage and conduct the affairs
OF the same; and To define the powers and
prescribe the duties of such association
and OF sucn board; and to appropriate
money in support thereof.
1t IS proposed that the duties of this
State board viii be to supervise work in
al districts and to approve or disapprove
all plans that may be presented for irriga-
uon under the Wright Act, to provide 9
form OF ponds, TO designate q bank al
which all bonds and coupons may be paio
free OF charge 10 the holder, and to inyes-
ugate the status of all existing districts
The association viii maintain an office
IN San francisco and have secretary
who Will gather information; and it is
| made the duty of each district to furnish
such data as may be desired. The sum
OF S20, 600 is appropriated by the bill tC
carry into effect its provisions for the
| next two years should it become a law
and an additional taXnof. Q cents on the
| 500 may, by order of the association. be
levied upon the association property in
each district for the same purpose.
In addition to the above bill. another
one was agreed upon at last nights ses-
sion, embodylng number of amend
ments to the district law. none of which
are OF an extreme nature. but are merely
to cure defects of phraseology and
simplify some of the machinery.
1t is proposed that the election of Off
GERS shall be in February instead of A pril
reducing the bonds of directors to 5000
the bonds of contractors to 25 per cent. OF
the contract price Of work; empowering
boards to borrow on credit of dis
trlct not to exceed $1,000 fol
making preliminary SURVEYS. etc. to
permit second and supplemental issue
OF bonds when construction fund is ex-
nausted, and to permit subsequent voting
upon propositions to vote bonds where
defeated; giving districts power to enter
upon lands for purpose of making sur
yeys outside of districts. etc.
The lrrigators were deeply in earnest
and are more enthusiastic than ever oyel
the district system of irrigation, firnll,,
believing that it will do great things fol

The Sacramento RECoRD-UNIoN ap-
peared this morning with an increase in
the number of pages, having a new dress
of type and printed on its new press. Its
appearance is very neat and its many
readers will no doubt be greatly pleased
with the change that has been made.
After tomorrow the paper will be eight
pages on Sunday and six pages on week
days. This morning, for the first time,
the paper was printed on the new Goss
lightning press, lately received from the
Goss Printing Press Company of Chi
cago, and the machine has been named
Bessie by the managers of the paper.
This has been done by the managers as a
compliment to Bessie, the youngest
daughter of William III. Mills, the Presi-
dent of the Sacramento Publishing Com
pany.

pears to have been the experience also of
some of the gentlemen who consented to
do waiter duty at the ball, for they were
drunken yesterday than on the night be-
fore-if such thing were possible.
A quartet OF them found their way into
the Mississippi kitchen, on Third Street,
last evening and called for supper. Dur
ing the repast they got to grossly abusing
one of the walters employed in the res
taurant- because he was sober.
In about two minutes lively battle
was in progress, and proprietor Senate
| ran to the door and blew loud, shrill
blast upon his strong-lunged police
whistle.
The police did not seem to recognize the
! particular trill thereof, however, for none
| of them responded. Then Mr.. Senate
tried another key, and blew another
| blast. He continued to blow, but his eff
forts to entice a policeman were unavail-
ing.
| Not so, however, with the people on
the street. They responded with will,
and in about six and one-half seconds
there was pushing, crowding mob on
the sidewalk in front of the restaurant,
all trying. to get glimpse of the battle
that ragged within. From the outside it
looked like hot one, but the drunken
ball walters seemed to be doing all the
| fighting, the attaches of the house merely
| trying to preserve order.
Finally couple of them, fearing arrest,
managed to get to the front door, where
they were grabbed by men in the crowd
and yanked outside. They struck out
through the muddy streets and escaped,
but Constable Brissell came along about
| this time and arrested the other two. At
the Police Station they gave the names of
John Whalen and Frank Crawford and
were charged with disturbing the peace.
1t was learned later that the row oc-

were reporting on and off duty, and they
were then at the police station for that
purpose.
The two men that ran away from the
restaurant were pursued by special officer
Mclaughlin, who caught and undertook
to get them to the police station. They
fought him all the way, however, to
Second and l streets, where they were
met by officers Gibson and White, who
had learned of the trouble and were hast
ing to the scene; The prisoners We're
soon locked up. They gave the names of
r. Mcdonald and John Burke.

A Woman in q. Fit,

Last night officer Gibson was informed
that a colored woman, named Lucy Ma
than, was having fit in her room on L
street, near Fourth. He found the
woman acting very queerly, as if she had
taken some severe drug, and leaving her
with some of her friends, he went and
called a physician. The woman had
been drinking, and the attack was not
thought to be serious.

MIXED DRINKS

They Have a Bad Effect on Some of the
Ball Walters.
Evidently the managers of the in
augural ball made mistake when they
decided to have more than one quality of
champagne at the supper. Such ordinary
brands as "Mumm," Screen Sealv and
white Sear' do not usually have bad
effect on the brains of the average waiter,
but when he comes to getting the bottles
mixed with those of the figh-toned native
article, and hits them alternately and
often, it doesn't take long for the mixture
to get away with him.

points about II. Strikes are already

fighting vigorously and even aggrcs.

coke workers still continues. Owing
10 the large stores Of fuel that were ON

they cannot keep open much longer.
