DIDN'T SABE WATER.
IRRIGATION CONGRESS- MAKES A
POOR SHOW.
G. M. Heintz Tells of How the Irriga-
tionists Did Business at Denver.
They suub California
Products.

@. M. Heintz, one OF the delegates to
the irrigation congress at Denver, just
in session, returned home yesterday.
He was not particularly we'll pleased
with the session, as he says it consisted
p rincipally of lot of lawyers, land
brokers and land spectators, which the
real earnest and practical irrigator, the
man who knows when and how to ap-
ply water to land FOR profitable results,
was conspicuous for his absence. There
should have been 300 delegates present
but he did not see at one time more
than 90.
He does not look with much favor up
on the results of irrigation in Colorado !;
it is yet in it's infancy and they have
much to learn in the way OF applying
water for the best advantage. In the
congress about all that was discussed
was how to divide up lands. and the best
methods of disposing of lands.
He asked the following questions, and
not one OF those present would answer
them:
How much land have you here which
you irrigate? Eow many inches do you
need for 10 acres? What are your water
resources at present? How much Ia the
cost of your water? What are the
modes of your irrigation? Are you be-
Levers in deep or shallow irrigation
How often do you irrigate? What is
the sh sSDe SRvSsas 81 tths cEatSF inIormason
the subject which it was supposed
would be discussed with the view OF
mutual benefit for those engaged in
practical demonstrations, was patent
that the congress was not composed OF
practical people.
The people OF Denver were not at all
hospitable. and the meeting was in
strong contrast to the one held year
ago in this city, in that particular.
What disguised him moat was to ses
the studied effort to bsittle everything
from California. The Italian fruit
vendors were calling the pears from
California missouri pears" most in
famous libel, and the people in othel
particulars seemed to exert themselves
to injure the fame of this fair state.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure LIQUID
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
sning them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
md being well informed. you will not
Ecept any substitute if offered.

THE Examiner Ia devoting itself to
showing that Governor Markhsm's ad-
ministration has been notably extrav-
sgsnt one. Every one remembers how
the smooth author of the Dear Old
Pard" letter promised to keep down the
state expenditures to 80 cents on the
500 on O valuation of q little over q
billion. According to the figures of our
San Francisco contemporary this is the
way Markham came up to his pro-
fessions:
Governor Markham was elected four
years ago on platform that promised
economy and offered the pledge that the
government would be conducted within
a tax OF 90 cents on the 500 on the az
sessed valuation of the state. How far
the tax pledge mas been carried out may
be seen by reference to the figures of
the state board of equalization. A 50-cent
tax on the assessment of 1S90-the as
seesment that was before the public
when the pledge was given-would yield
So, 900, 900 year. In 1891 the amount
actually raised by the direct tax, count
ing costs and delinquencies, was So, 1885,
1874. The nominal tax was Al. 6 cents,
but the assessment was pushed up from
$l.003, 202. 454 of 1890 to 81, 241 23l, l05
for 1891. In the same manner $5,537, lis
was raised in 1892. In 1898 the admin
istration abandoned even a nominal ad-
herence to the pledge. Notwithstanding
an assessment of 81 ,216, 700. 2S3, the ex-
travagance of the state government
required levy of 57.6 cents on the 500.
While it is generally understood that
political platiorms, to employ the felici-
tous language of the late j. Nom.
Shafter, are only ''molasses spread out
to catch fiies," these are times in which
the people are apt to scrutinize the per-
formances of public officials very close
ly. However, the Examiners charges
would have moro force If it were Mark
ham instead of Estee who was making
the campaign.

SENATOR CAFFERY OF Louisiana has
adopted fad which is not calculated to
increase his individual popularity. He
always declines to shake hands. The
result is that many of those who are in
troduced to him drop him like hot po-
tato. They give him different kind of
. shake from the one he refuses to give
them. Yet, who knows? Perhaps the
senator's refusal to cross palms with or.
binary mortals is based upon altruistic
principles. Some people are afflicted
with skin disease which they do not

matter" and endeavored to make it
seem as II he was referring to the letters
Of Mr.. Orandall to Mrs. Crandall.
"The first time had q conversation
with Mr.. Crandall," he said, twas at
my house in Santa Monies. He told
me all about his domestic troubles, and
wanted me to 60 to Harris and find out
what he had about him. I told him 1
would, and when I did 1 would drop
him a note. saw Harris, and he said
there was something of that kind; that
Knox and Graf had something of that
kind. 1 wrote Crsndall notes.-the let
ter in question"
The court---The one In the indict-
ment?
YES" replied Plat, while Judge
Ross picked up the indictment and per.
used it attentively. This is the note in
which Platt says he Is offered Q good
sum by Harris to make cuts on wood for
Police Gazette publication.
Pratt then won't on to relate the other
conversations he had with Crandall, in
sisting that all talks about the matter
were with the view of having Harris on
his side in his troubles. He made some
queer remarks about 1t, however. In
one conversation be had Mr.. Orandall
saying: 81 have come to the conclusion
/ want to settle that Harris claim; l
want the thing chopped off," The wit
mesa hurried over the conversations in
the room which were overheard by the
officers. saying that the check for 500
was given in pursuance of the plan to
get "this matter" settled before he went
away.
Court adjourned for the day before his
cross.examination, which will take place
this morning.

THERE is some strong timber in the
Democratic county ticket, and q fraction
of it ought to ''get there" in any event.
The platform is manly IN its throwing

EDWARD ATKINSON of Boston read q
paper before one of the sections OF the
British association ct its late meeting
on the Evils of Raising Prices by Depre-
ciating the Standard of Value. II, in
stead, he had entitled his paper the
Evils OF Lowering Prices by Appreciat-
ing or Raising the Standard OF Value,
he could have drawn on the sad ex-
perience of nearly every civilized coun-
try on the face of the globe during the
last twenty years for object lessons with
which to illustrate his sombre theme.
But England wants the standard Of
value raised, and Atkinson. OF course,
took his wares to an appreciative mar
ket. AS high moral philosopher be
had enough of the commercial instinct
to do that.
