IRRIGATION in the west. in a.

IRRIGATION in the west, in ac-
cordance with a strictly scientific
plan, is an object of investigation
now in progress before the geolog-
ical survey at Washington. The
large rivers in that section have
been accurately gagged, and the
examination has been conducted
upon an extensive scale. The pros
pect is that irrigation, which has
long been a theory in certain sec
lions of America which only re-
quires water to make them fruit
full, will, with the encouragement Of
the Government, become a condi-
ton in the near future.

A Change in the Basis of Representa-
ton.

Thomas II. Carter, chairman of the
Republican national committee, in
ecent interview, said at is probable
that the national committee at its reg
ular meeting will adopt the rccom-
mendation Of the executive branch on
the change Of representation in the
national convention. The change
recognizes the right Of the communi-
ties that give the bulk Of the vote to
the party to nominate the choice Of
the convention. Instead of two del
egates from each Congressional dis
trict, we propose to place it at one
with an additional delegate for each
1000 votes cast in the district for the
last Presidential candidate OF the par
ty. In the past the action OF the con-
vention has been controlled by the
delegates from the States in which
there was no possible chance OF secur-
ing the electoral vote for the nominee.
The change will minimize the infiu-
ence of the delegations that are always
given in consideration for some bar
gain. There will be some opposition
from the members Of the committee
from the Southern States. but as the
basis is founded upon right and just
ness, have no doubt OF its adoption -
