work Of cleaning the drains around the
city and had il not been for the depreda-

In his monthly report Mai. Blendford,
the county engineer. stated that the work
of fitting up the room occupied by him
as a library room for the Savannah Bar
Association had driven him out in the
hallway, and the dust stirred up by the
plasterers was injuring the maps and
records there. He respectfully called the
attention OF the commissioners to this
condition OF affairs, but no action was
taken.
James NJ. HUMPHREYS was sworn in
as "a constable for the Fourth Militia dis

sworn in as constable for the Seventh

UNDER THE THREE MILE LAW.
bailey Carpenter Sold Liquor Too
Near a SchOOIhOuse.

Near a ScbOOlhOuse.
Bailey Carpenter, who pleaded guilty
in the city court to the charge of selling
liquor within three miles of a school
house, was sentenced by Judge MacDonen
to pay fine of S25 and costs. 1t will be
remembered that it was made INSIDE
meanor by the legislature several years
ago to sell liquor within radius of three
miles of a church or school house.
Carpenter had a hard time getting the
county commissioners to grant him
license TO sell liquor out at the crossing
of the Ogeechee road and the Ogeechee
river and the license was finally re-
Voked on a showing made by some citi-
zens of Bryan county which is under
local option law, and which is just across
the river from where Carpenters place
was kept. Carpenter was then indicted
on two charges-selling within three miles
of a school house and selling without a
license. He pleaded guilty to the former
charge and the Indictment under the
latter was mole pressed.

The warrant was sworn out before jus

For this and other reasons no officer has

Capt Cincevich's brother says he has
some evidence in the case which VIII be "A
revelation. He went to see Solicitor Cen

Detective Morgan returned from Syca-

Copeland. whom he arrested on a warrant
charging cheating and swindHng and
sworn out by Messrs. Hunter, Pearce and
Battey
1t seems that Copeland is planter near
Sycamore, where he owns some land and
some little property. It is charged that
after obtaining about $500 in advances
from the foregoing firm, it was discov-
cred that the property on which he had
given them a mortgage for security was
already so heavily mortgaged that it
could not bear up under the strain. Ac-
cordingly, the warrant was sworn out.
and when Copeland was pointed out bv
Mr.. Manor Lawton he was arrested and
brought here by Detective Morgan. who
had the necessary requisition papers fov.
his apprehension. Copeland endeavored
to resist the officers,s but he was finally
persuaded that it was to his interest to
submit peacefully, and he did.

LIMESTONE ROADS.
Cheap and Durable Highways That Are
Easily Kept In Repair.

Towns at no great distance from a
limestone quarry may well take as an
object lesson the excellent surface Of a
well kept limestone road in Hudson
river town, and for those interested in
the subject the following figures are
briefly submitted says W. Il. Page in
Good Roads:
The roadbcd, 10 feet wide, is first
covered to the depth Of inches with
finely crushed limestone at a cost per
milo Of 500, tho average haulage dis
tanco being . miles from railroad
station. if the roadbcd is naturally
hard, layer of stone even less than ,
inches in thickness will answer.
Every year from an inch to > inch
es of finely crushed limestone is added,
and in little over week the ordinary
everyday traffic of vehicles grinds it TO
absolute smoothncss As every one
knows, limestone possesses natural CO.
mentic qualities, and for road Of this
description it is almost imperative that
to secure the best results the surface be
kept sprinkled. This is accomplished by
an ordinary sprinkling cart, horses and
driver at a cost Of $50 per month.
TO maintain aroad of this description
averages for tho season total cost OF
SlG5 per mile, surely an item of exceed.
ingly small proportions compared with
the results obtained
OF course the old fashioned way of let
ting the roads take care Of themselves,
after the customary spring pottoring,
Will not do in this case, SO the services
of two men are engaged TO attend to the
roads tho entire season, an important
bearing upon the final economical show
ing of the total cost Of maintenance.

PROBLEM or The ARID WEST.
Its Solution. hccorGing TO the Irrigation
Expert Lies In Rcpartition.

Expert, Lies In Hepartition.
The development Of portions of the
arid west is ono Of tho marvels of this
age Itseoms 70 have been clearly dem.
onstratcd that with full and correct
uso Of tho resources Of the country there
il soaeci'y section Of the now almost
uninhabitod western desert regions that
may not be reclaimed. Tho water sup
ply from every source must be so used
as to best benefit tho most people The
irrigation experts say this end cannot
possibly DO attained rs the western
states are at present constituted. The
trouble is mainly that many millions OF
acres Of tho best irrigabo land in one
state depend for their natural water sup
ply on rivers that rise and run for the
greater part Of their length In another
state. Tho people OF the latter state can
cut off tho water supply and use or
waste it all in their own state, running
tho land in tho lower state Orren NJ.
Donaldson, who proposes TO wipe out
completely tho present state and terri
torial lines and rcdivido the arid and
suhhumid west and southwest in states
with boundaries In accord with the nat
ural contour Of the country and with
special reference to the requirements Of
irrigation. says in Tho Irrigation Age:
"Thero is hardly boundary line in all
the west that is not, even when judged
by ordinary standards, IN some way an
outrage on nature and a menace to the
best interests Of the people But it Is as
. country dependent for its prosperity
on irrigation that the west suffers its
most serious injury from this unhappy
systom of division. Here it is not the
land that forms the basis Of the state.
but the water, and if elsewhere it Is
desirable that the state be founded on
contiguous land areas In the arid west
1t is tenfold more important that the
state be based on undivided water sys-
TENS or drainage basins.
After saying why the entire drainage
area Of stream or river system used for
irrigation should be under one state au-
thority Mr. Donaldson submits map
of his plan of reparttionmont, which
would give 2G states and territories
In place Of the IS that now consti-
tute the western half of the country
The boundaries are drawn almost wholly
upon natural lines and the areas of the
proposed states are tolcrably uniform.
Practically all of tho proposed divisions
would be entitled to statehood. The
question is not new one with the irri-
CATION experts, and it has been brought
before congress in several ways in the
last few years.
Mr.. Donaldson admits that Of course
1t Is impossible 10 include the largest
rivers each in one irrigation district or
In one state But with the exception Of
the Missouri, Rio Grande, Colorado.
Columbia and Shoshone and of two
smaller rivers no stream in all the ir-
Rigation country would, under this pro-
posed Partition, flow from one political
division into another Each river would
have its entire course through the arid
region of the United States confined
within the limits Of one state or terri
tory. The interstate division Of tho five
bigrivcrs named could, he thinks, easily
be arranged
