IRRIGATION WATER
Reduction of Rates Leads to Diminu
tion of Supply

MODESTO, Oct 2O.-At the last June
session of the board of supervisors the
rates for irrigation from the San Joa-
quin and Kings Rivers Canal and Irri-
cation company were reduced nearly
one-half. The former rate was $3.50 per
acre for alfalfa. This was reduced to
$3.50, and other charges were reduced
in proportion.
The canal irrigates a large strip of
land in Fresno, Merced and Stanislaus
counties west of the San Joaquin. Now
each supervisor has been served with
subpoena to appear In the United
States circuit court at San Francisco on
November 18th in an equity suit by the
canal company. For month past no
water has reached this country from the
canal, the agents representing that the
canal company needs all the water to
flood newly developed lands in Merced
and Fresno counties. Owners of stock
and alfalfa fields fear that the action Of
the company is from pique at the su-
pervisors' action. This is disclaimed by
the canal company. Stock is suffering
for water. The canal Is commonly known
as the Miller & Lux ditch.

KEANE'S SUCCESSOR
Nobody Seems to Want the Office Of
Rector

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Many of the
archbishops and directors of the Cath
ole university are already in Wash
ington to attend the meeting to be held
tomorrow and Thursday. Several points
relative to the vacancy in the rector
ship of the university have already been
settled in advance of the meeting of the
directors. Bishop Keane, by positive and
direct letters to his friends, has taken
his name out of consideration, and he Is
assured no effort will be made to NOM
mate him to the place. Bishop Keane
notified his friends, that even if reap
pointed by the directors, he would not
accept the position.
1t has also been determined that no
bishop will be recommended for rec
tor. One of the chief reasons for this
conclusion advanced by the Catholic
prelates is that bishop would not be
willing to give up his see with its in
definite tenure to serve as the rector
Tor definite time, as the pope has sig
nified already his intention of having
rotation in the Office of rector. The
term of office of rector, it has been de-
cided, shall be limited to either five or
six years, with the privilege of re-elec-
tion. It can be stated definitely that the
selection of rector has not been deter
mined upon in advance.

PRISON DIRECTORS REPORT

Eudd
garding Consolidation of Prisons
at Folsom

OAKLAND. Oct. 20-The bienial re-
port of the state prison directors will
be forwarded to Governor Budd by
President Robert Nj Fitzgerald tomor-
row. The document is a shcrt one, but
it contains a number of important
recommendations. The one dealt with
at greatest length is the consolidation
of the prisons at Folsom, and the prop
osition is urged by the entire board. The
members are also anxious to abandon
the manufacture of jute fabrics. The
recommendations of the report are sum
married as follows by the report itself:
First-That some appropriation be
made looking to the enlargement of Fol-
som prison, with the idea of future con-
solidation.
Second-That the legislature take some
action in reference to the employment
of prisoners at other industries than the
manufacture of jute fabrics.
Third@That the provisions of the Os-
from law governing the sale of jte bags
at San Quentin be repealed and the
board be left free to act.
Fourth-That appropriations be made
for the construction of an insane ward
at one of the prisons, also for the build
ing of wharf at San Quentin and for
the purpose of securing for the Folsom
prison a system of sewerage which will
be approved by the state board of
health.
Fifth-That should the work of build
ing roads be continued f..rther, that the
same be taken into consideration in fix
ing the next appropriation.

Congress to Be Mem0rialized on

CONTROL OF THE PACIFIC

The Valley Road in Competition With
the Octopus-TEe Sugar Line
to Santa Ana.

Associated Press Special Wire
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20.--The cham
ber of commerce today decided to Inter-
est itself in obtaining some protective
action from congress relating to the
American shipping interests. Secretary
Merry was requested to forward a men,
ot.al to Washington presenting the alb
solute necessity of some action In be-
half of the ocean mali steamship service
under the national ensign.
The memorial sets forth that Japan Is
entering the field with modern steam
ships to be operated under subsidy
law so liberal that 5000-ton vessel with
fifteen knots speed will be paid $31, 500
for a voyage from Yokohama to San
Francisco and return. 1t also calls at
tonton to the fact that Great Britain
also haa heavy subsidized steamship
line between Vancouver and Japan and
China, and that another is about to be
established between Vancouver and
Australia via New Zealand and the Fiji
islands, also calling at Honolulu. Eng
land pays annually to mail steamships
and auxiliary cruisers $5030,44O and
France pays s21 100000, and with such
inducements it is of no use for American
steamers to compete with them.
The memorial declares that the contest
for maritime control of the Pacific is at
hand and asks congress to enact such
bereficiert measeres as will permit the
American mail being carried by Ameri-
can ships.

"If they are eligible then they will be
