THE STATE DITCH.
Governor Thomas Suggests inst I
Should be complefed-- -Opinions
OF State Press.

In his message to the Twelfth Gem
eral Assembly Governor Thomas urges
as a means to the employment of the
six hundred convicts in the peniten-
tiary, the completion of State Canal
No. l. He said:
Among the public lands of the
State is an area of more than $4,000
acres, occupying the plateau north Of
the Arkansas river, between Canon
City and Pueblo. The construction
of a canal and reservoir leading out
from the Arkansas river west Of
Canon City for the irrigation and
subsection of this and contiguous
areas has long been subject Of
serious and important consideration
The lands of the State without water
are of nominal value. If they can be
made irrigable their value will beI
great, and the same is true of private
holdings in that section. Under pre-
vious administrations filings of water
rights and surveys and estimates for
ditch and reservoir construction have
been made. A considerable portion
of the tunnel designed as part Of
the proposed water way has been
driven by the labor of the inmates Of
the State penitentiary at cost of
$92, ,246. 40. 1t must, of course, BE-
finished before the work thus done
can be made effective. Seventeen
thousand seven hundred and fifty
three dollars and sixty cents of the
sums heretofore appropriated for con-|
struction remain unexpended- The
completion Of the canal will place !

Both former Governor Adams and
Governor Thomas in their messages to
the present General Assembly have
spoken in strong terms of the duty
from every standpoint to put the con-
victs in the State penitentiary at work
in some way that will not interfere
with free labor. Each has dwelt at
length on the humanitarian aspect of
the question and each has suggested
a plan. Governor Adams advised ar
rangements for q State farm on some
of the rr;gable lands of the Arkansas
valley where the prisoners may be
given out-of-door work and at the same
time do something to make themselves
self-supporting to some degree, as far
in fact as is possible without coming
into competition with free labor. Gov
ernor Thomas advocates completion
Of State Canal No. ! in which Pueblo
and Fremont counties have long been
30 much interested. He thinks the
prisoners should also be put to work in
gardens. Both plans are good. But
the construction of the State ditch will
fulfill the purposes wished by each.

In his inaugural address the COVER
nor refers to the urgent necessity of
finding some sort of employment for
the State convicts. While the need
is generally admitted it has been an
unsolved problem with many State ad
ministrations to find such work with
out violating existing laws. The
contract labor formerly in vogue is
debarred as it interferes with free la
bor. The only solution of the ques-
ton, it would seem, is to be found in
the State creating some sort of work
for the hundreds of unemployed con-
victs which are now heavy burden
upon the taxpayers. 1t has in turn
been suggested that they be put to
farming on State lands, to coal min
ing and to the construction of much
needed public highways. It will rest
with the legislature to digest and pass
upon this question. the urgency of
which has been duly presented in the
address Of the governor. Something
should be done at this session in or
der to terminate the cruel and in
human punishment of idleness to
which the convicts are now con-

"Chfmney Climate

Chimney climate is the latest for
the climate that is TO be found in all
large cities Its characteristics, says a
man of learning, are mildness, absence
of rain and frequency of fog as COM
pared with surrounding rural districts.
And he gives a very clever explanation
of the presence of the fog. 1t is actually
manufactured right under our eyes.
You know if You look crosswise at a
sunbeam You see in it myriad of very
small particles of dust. SO densely crowd
ed together that some scientists even
attribute to them the color of the sky.
And there is also about us an invisible
vapor and this combines with the parti-
cles to give us fog 1t may be SO 1t
sounds reasona BILE enough when one
takes into consideration the fact that

it be so. what are men of science about
that they don't find an antidote for
the evil?-Boston Transcript
