FEDERAL AID TO IRRIGATION
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF
WESTERN RESERVOIRS.
Review of the Systems In Wyoming
and misunderstanding Figures
and Conclusions.

Washington, Dec. 10.-A general re-
view of the matter of proposed gov
eminent constructions of reservoirs in
the west is made in a report sent to
congress today by Secretary Alger on
the preliminary examination of the var
ious reservoir system in Wyoming and
Colorado. A summary follows:
Five reservoir systems We're exam
ined in Wyoming, near Laramie. Els
timated cost of storing water from the
| two Laramies, SAG. 254; of bringing
North Platte in basin, Sl,000,000 at
| Sweetwater. estimated cost, S26l.2S4'
! Pine Creek system, 70,S46; Cloud Peak,
( $31, 30S; Lake Desmit, S133,36
| Colorado.-South Platte, S54O0oo;
Loveland, $262, 106 doubtful advisable
ity).
The Piney system is recommended
/ for Wyoming. Reservoir construction in
the arid region. the report says, would
reduce the flood height of the Missouri
| river during the June rise, and is in
| dispensable to the highest development
! of that section, falling more properly
under the domain of the nation than
| of the state; and need not invoke gov
eminent control of irrigation works.
The government should acquire full
| title and jurisdiction to any site 1t I'M
proves, and full rights to the water.
The total extent of a reservoir system
in the arid regions which shall render
available the entire flowing streams
| will not exceed ], 161, 600 600 cubic feet
If its construction was to consume a
century in time it would represent an
! annual storage of about 49, 900 0OO
cubic feet, or 266, 500 acre feet. At $5.S7
per foot this would cost $1.432, 716 per
annum. This amount distributed
among the II arid states and territories
gives an average annual expenditure in
each of SS4,277 The annual value of
the stored water would return to the
original cost and maintenance in an
average period of three years

Charles Mettam. Enginesr.

New York, Dec 1O.-Charles Mettam,
the architect and civil engineer whose
death is announced at Bayonne, N j.,
was the first to suggest elevated rail-
roads in the city streets. On the out
break of the war he enlisted as Drl-
vate, but was detached and employed
by the government as an engineer. He
designed and built the funeral car
which carried the remains Of President
Lincoln in New York. He served under
the late General Delafield in construct
ing the Notifications of New York
harbor and many notable buildings in
New York were erected by him.

A CARPENTERS IDEA.
Proposition to Have Common People
Assume National Debt.

Assume National Debt.
Denver, Colo, Dec. 1O.-If the scheme
proposed by r. J. Z. Ware of St. Louis
is carried out, congress will receive
petitions from all parts of the country
that will, taken altogether, be as large
as the monster petitions which are
sometimes hauled to the British pallia-
ment on the big drays used about the
London docks.
Mr.. Wares proposition is to unite the
people of the United States in de-
mand upon congress to refund the ma
tional debt in bonds of the denomina-
ton of SO and upward at per cent
per annum, payable in % years, the
demand to combine the features OF a
petition and a subscription to the bonds
in order 70 demonstrate to congress that
the national debt can be taken care of
by the common people.
Mr.. Ware says that he is a carpen-
ter by trade, and has undertaken this
work at the solicitation of a number OF
workingmen of st. Louis, who will as
sist in spreading the idea. He is on his
way to the coast, where he will inaug-
urate the movement among the work
ingmen of San Francisco, Portland, Sc
attic and Los Angeles.

RESCUED IN TIME.
Plight of Boiler Maker Inside a
Smoke Stack

San Francisco, Dec. 1O.-NIichael Pur-
cell, a boilermaker, was making some
repairs inside the smokestack of the
steamer wellington at the Folsom
street wharf when six fires were care
lessly started below him He was
strapped in a chair suspended from
the top of the stack about 40 feet from
the hampers below. 1t was impossible
to go up, and to go down without as
sistance meant being roasted alive.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-12-11

Dense volumes of hot smoke began
sailing up the stack, while Purcell
shouted loudly for help. The heat in
creased every moment. until the boiler
makers clothing caught fire. He beat
on the pipe with all his might and
shouted for fully ten minutes before
his helper on the outside, Martin Phil
pot, realized his plight and rescued him
just as the rope supporting him was
catching fire. Purcell lies at home in a
critical condition.

A UNIQUE FEATURE.

The constitution of the United States
appears as printed from a literal copy
of the original document, and the Of
fetal corrections therein, which are
unique from q historical point of view,
are reproduced in print.
The enabling act and state constitu-
ton follow, each with separate index;
and the matter in them is not referred
, to in the general index. All the induces
are arranged on a comprehensive, ready
reference, alphabetical basis, rather
than following an analytical scheme.
MATTERS OF GREAT ADVANTAGE.
Public officials, attorneys and future
| legislatures will appreciate the other
details of arrangement, and the adj
vantage of the annotations and refer
ence indicators, which are described as
follows:
The divisions have been simplified into
! titles, chapters and sections. The sub
| stantiVe laws are arranged in alphabetical
order, and are followed by the codes in
/ the order in which they appeared in the
/ compiled laws. The running head line al
/ the top of each page indicates title and
! chapter heads. The reference Immediately
/ following each section indicates Its origin
I as Tar as concerns the compiled laws OF
1 1888 and acts amendatory thereof; the ref
erences to the compiled laws being &C
| L. followed by the section numbers; the
! references TO the session laws being 80

The asterisk is used to indicate that 8
| change has been made in the section.
Where the origin is not given, it will be
understood that the section is new one
