Irrigation in New Mexico.

One of the most interesting expert
ments with irrigation has been made in
the Pecos valley, New Mexico. The
Pecos river is peculiarly useful for this
purpose, as it depends neither on rains
nor SHOWS, but is fed by hundreds of
living springs, in which no variation
has been discovered for fifteen wears.
The valley adjacent to it, however, is
dependent on the rainfall, which is very
insufficient, and in this large canals and
bitches have been dug. One of these
starts from the Pecos river, six miles
above the new town of Eddy, at which
point the river cuts itself through solid
limestone. A dam 1,13O feet long and
so feet high at its deepest place ele-
Yates the water and turns it through
the canal head, which is cut out of the
rock SO feet wide and 25 feet deep. The
dam makes lake seven miles long and
nearly two miles wide, which holds.
10000, 900 gallons of water. The stream
which flows into the canal is 20 feet
deep and 80 feet wide. From the
main canal the water is carried in side
bitches to the lands along either side,
where its flow is regulated by the
owners of the land by means of little,
gates. 1t is estimated that 700, 900 acres
will be made productive under this
system of irrigation.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.

SOME Of the Connecticut papers, says
the Boston Herald, are exercised in
mind because of the gerrymandering in
other states of the union. Gerryman-
dering, wherever it exists, cannot be too
severely condemned, and there is an
excellent opportunity for condemning it
in the state of Connecticut. II there is
worse gerrymander anywhere than
that in Connecticut, which gives town
equal power in electing members of the
legislature in one locality TO what city
thirty or forty or fifty times its size has
in another, we know not where to find
it. This is practical gerrymandering
with a vengeance.

The Gambling Evil.

OF all forms of gambling the race
course as carried on to-day affords the
best facilities for alluring the masses
and spreading broadcast destruction in
the land. 1t draws not only men who
have reputation for honesty and mo-
rality and makes them dishonest and
immoral, lawless leeches on society.
but even women and girls are surren-
dering their womanhood, their honor.
their all to this abomination. Gambling
began, says a writer in the Seattle
Press, in an effort to steal by stratagem
what man dared not or could not steal bv
force. The gambling instinct grew out
of the primitive passion of avarice and
the indolent desire to dodge labor and
live by violence when you can; by
fraud when you cannot by force.

.TEMPLARS At DENVERIM,
The Conclave Will Be a Most
Notable One.
$4,000 VISITORS ALREADY PRESENT.

The Exercises Begin Tomorrow. When
Over $4,000 Knights Will Escort the
Ohicers to the Masonic Temple--Pro.
CRANE fOs the Week.
DENVER, Col, Aug. 8.-The 25th Tri-
ennlal Conclave of the Grand Encamp
ment of Knights Templar of America
opens tomorrow afternoon in this city
with the customary parade or, more prop.
erly speaking, the escort to the Grand
Master on his pilgrimage to the asylum OF
the grand encampment.
Templarism was introduced into this
country as early as 1894, just three wears
after the first grand encampment of the
order was organized in England under
the patronage of Edward, Prince of
Wales. The first actual record of it's an
pearance in America locates it in Pennsvl-
vania, where, in 1897. a grand encannn-
ment was formed of Philadelphia No. 1,
Philadelphia No. 2, Harrisburg No. 8 and
Carlisle No. 4.
These four early encampments ceased
to exist after 1924, and the St. Johns En-
campment of the United States in 1919
Is perhaps the only connecting link which
binds the early history of the Templars
with the present
1t is estimated that there are alread v
$4,000 people in the city, and the Knights
are not all here. Every train is loaded.
and the question now is how to take care
of the great influx
On Tuesday morning the most maguifl-
cent pageant which ever passed through
the streets of any Western city will be OBJ
served in Denver, over 10000 knights
Iemplar marching as an escort to the
officers and members of the grand en-
campment to the Masonic Temple. I'M
mediately upon the dismissal of the pa-
rade, the grand encampment will com
mence its session in the banquet hall of
the Temple.
On Wednesday afternoon will occur the
prize drill under the auspices of the
Chamber of Commerce at River Front
Park. On Thursday forenoon the exhi-
bition drill directed by the Knights Temp
lar at Overland Park.
The conclave is essentially a social
event. however, and the immense gather
ing from every State in the Union as we'll
as from Canada really owes it's popularity
and success to the fact that the knights
Templar get all the fun out of it thew
can. All things are suspicious for the
splen didfulfllment of every expectation
connected with the conclave. The weather
promises to be typical Colorado weather,
as near perfection as the world affords.

The Floods OF fse2.

Never In the history of the west have
70 many lives been lost or so much
property destroyed by floods as has been
reported during the month of May,
1892. Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Mis-
souri, and portions of Kansas and Min
nesota, have suffered enormously, vast
tracts having been completely sub
merged by rushing torrents, bearing
away dwellings, barns, factories, and
even whole villages, destroying scores
OF lives, and running hundreds of here
tofore prosperous families. In Sioux
City alone, ffty or sixty lives are known
to have been lost, and the reported
deaths elsewhere bring the total-up to
more than one hundred; while the best
estimates put the damage to property
at from fifty to sixty millions of dol
lars. Whole sections of country were
completely cut off from the outside
world for days together, trains were
stalled and abandoned on the sub
merged tracks, telegraph connection
was cut OFF, while the population of
many large towns and agricultural dis

A long period must elapse before the
wide region SO severely afflicted can
hope to recover from the blow. De-.
tailed accounts of the terrific storm
which swept the. island of Mauritius,
recently, have arrived, showing that
the telegraphic reports gave scarcely an
tnkling of the awful destruction of life
and property which took place. It is
now stated that the deaths reached one
thousand, while those injured num-
bered some seven Thousand. Mauritius
is small island lying off the Madagas-
car coast, in The Indian ocean, and is a
British colony. AS every one knows, it
was the scene of st. Pierre's famous
romance, paul and Virginia"

siderable attention to international ques-
lions. He introduced the bill which called
out the Pan-American Conference in

DURING the past six years the mean
temperature of Paris has been about two
degrees below the normal, and Great
Britain, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Austria
and Germany have also been growing
cold. 1t Is uncertain whether this is a
local and temporary effect or whether
the globe is undergoing general re-
frigeration. The change seems to have
been in progress in France for a long
time, the growth of the vine having
been forced far southwark since the
thirteenth century; and similar cool
ing has been observed as far away as
the Rio Janeiro, where the annual tenn
perature has been going down for some
years. In Denmark, Norway, Sweden
and Russia, on the other hand, the last
four years have been slightly warmer
than the average.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-08-08

THE eyes of the public are upon the
members of the court of common coun-
Gil. There is a suspicion that the re-
publican members will vote to grant the
petition of the Horse Railroad Co for
permission to substitute electricity for
horses, without demanding fair price
for the franchise. There are many cities
where valuable franchises have only
been granted in consideration of a
percentage of the gross receipts of the
street car companies being paid to the
treasury. In Baltimore the most beautiful
park in the city is maintained by money
paid by the tramway company. In
other cities the street car companies
have either paid roundIy in cash for
their privileges or else have done some
thing for the city streets or parks.
True, there are cities where no con-
cessions were asked or given, owing to
the stupidness of men who made oath
to protect the interests of the people, or
for worse reason. Unless Waterbury
exacts conditions from the Horse Rail-
road Co at this time, the opportunity
will be lost forever,

Twenty Hurt in q Collision.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Aug. 8.-A serious
accident occurred ON the BROOKLYN, Bath
& West End Railroad yesterday after
noon at West Brooklyn. Six heavily
loaded cars crashed into five others equal
ly as heavily loaded. The force of
the collision threw the passengers
from their seats, some falling from the
open sides to the track, and a frightful
panic ensued among the thousand passen-
gers on board who were bound for Coney
Island. People climbed out of the cars in
discriminatory, treading upon one an
other, and women screamed while chill
dren cried. Fifteen or twenty persons
were severely injured, some from being
damned in the panic and othe-s from be.
ing thrown from the cars by the force of
the collision.
