IRRIGATION MATTERS.
The Circular Issued by the National
Committee.


The Circular Issued by the National
Committee.
The executive committee of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress will tomorrow
Issue the following circular addressed to
the people of the arid states and terri
tories:
The national executive committee of
the Irrigation congress invites your
earnest and thoughtful attention to the
Address to the People of the United
States" issued by the convention re-
Gently assembled at Los Angeles, Cal.
The attention of the people OF the arid
states and territories is particularly di-
rected to that portion of the declaration
which provides for the appointment of
state commissions, charged with the
duty OF formulating plans for future irri-
cation laws, national and state. 1t is
the confident hope and expectation of
the members of the late congress that
the material gathered by these commits
sions will furnish the basis for q code OF
irrigation laws common in their main
features to all the states, and for ma
tional irrigation policy which shall pre-
serve and equitably distribute the
waters Of interstate stream, protect the
forests, provide good system for the
management of pastoral lands, and,
most important Of all, permit the recla-
nation and settlement of the arid public
domain on terms just to the capital in
vested and to the people to whom the
land belongs as heritage and birth
right.
These state commissions will be NOM
mated by the local members of the ma
tional executive committee and conrmed
by the committee as whole. Any
citizen may protest in writing against
any nomination deemed to be unfit, for
personal or public reasons. The desire
is to have able, experienced and fair
minded men compose these important
bodice.
The national executive committee
urges the people to rally to the support
of these commissions, which will be
named in the following states and terri
tories: Arizona, California, Colorado.
Idaho, Kansas, Montana. Nebraska, Me-
vada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Okla
homa, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Ali
citizens of the arid region are urged to
communicate their ideas on the subject
of irrigation legislation to their respect
i've commissions, to the end that the
reports submitted to the next irrigation
congress shall do equal and exact justice
to all. And the governors of each of the
states and territories are asked to con-
slider the Importance of the work of
these commissions in the future indus
trial and economic life OF their people.
If the commissions could each enjoy
reasonable financial assistance from
their several states, their work would
be very materially assisted and strength
ened. The use of from $1,000 to $4,000
of state funds in this way could nos fail
to be of lasting value to the public.
The future Of the irrigation movement
depends very largely on the effectiveness
with which the commissions perform
their duties. Without the cordial sup
port of the people they could not hope
to succeed, but with it they cannot fail.

FIREMEN SUSPENDED.

They Kept Their Hands in Their p Pock cts
Daring a Fire.
Chief Curran yesterday suspended
five firemen pending an investigation OF
their actions at the Stowell block fire
by the fire commissioners.
This action on the part of the chief
has grown out of the communication
read before the board at it's last meet
ing, from Commissioner Brodrick. The
communication severely scored some of
the fremen and recommended their
suspension.
The Suspended men are Burke Stoll OF
engine No. 5, John Driver of hook and
ladder No. 1, w. K. Price of hook and
ladder No. l, George Flood OF engine
No. 5 and James Johnson of engine No.
4. The hook and ladder men are both
permanent men.
Chief Curran, when asked the reason
for the suspension of the men, replied
that it was because they stood around
with their hands in their pockets during
the progress of the fire.
At the next meeting OF the commits
sioners the suspensions will be acted
upon by them.

GOLD COMFORT FOR sPOILsMEN.

Secretary Carlisle Says Places in the Light
house Service Are Not Political.
WASHINGTON. March 15.-Secretary Car
Isle to-day made the first enunciation of
the policy that Will govern his action in
the matter of appointments in the light
house and life-savlng service. The an.
nouncement was made in connection with
two applications for positions in tho light
house service. The Secretary writes:
In reply beg to inform you that the positions
for which Mr.. Green and Mr.. Burger apply are
not vacant, and no cause for the removal of the
present incumbents is known. The great num-
situations prevents anything like constant over
seeing OF their work. and faithful performance
OF their responsible duties, involving the safety
OF the vast amount of property and the number
of lives intrusted to their care, depends
the good character and competency of the keep
ers themselves. 1t has been, and is, the policy
of the department and Of the lighthouse estab-
lishment to encourage and insure q high
standard among them by retaining them In the
service during competency and good behavior,
and by promoting and transferring them to
better stations as rewards for good service.
Lighthouse keepers are held to q strict perform
ance OF duty, but unless some incompetency or
neglect on their part is shown, they are not dis
uniform custom for many years to regard the
lighthouse establishment as q nOnpartisan
service. It is my intention to continue that
custom. No lighthouse keeper will be disturbed
by me in his official position, merely because Of
his political opinions.
