Investigations, deal with the water supply

the second, by Joseph A. Breckons, dis

purpose of the director of experiment
stations. to inaugurate its study of the
irrigation question by the collation. and
publication of information regarding the
actual status of irrigation in the arid re-
gions.
The Bear river valley was chosen for
study because in its course of little over
800 miles it crosses state line five times,
finally. emptying into Salt lake, which is
less than fifty miles distant from its
source, thus presenting in small compass
a great variety of interstate problems,
and offering exceptional opportunities for

ATTORNEY GENERAL DAVIS, OF Ar

department of our government is in
vading the province of the legislative.
He even speaks of civil war as pos
sible result of what he is pleased to
call ''judge made law" With all due
respect to Mr.. Davis, we are of the OF
inion that if all the states of the union
and the nation itself had to depend up
on such fool legislatures as
blight the fortunes of Ar
kansas and Texas, the future
of our country would indeed be
dark 1T is only the judiciary, with their
common sense interpretations of foolish
laws and their constant care for the
preservation of the fundamental prin-
oiples of right and wrong, that stand be-
tween us and ruin. The members of

El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-09-15

THE finance committee of the mid
winter carnival met with SO little en-
couragement that they virtually de-
termined to go no further. II would
indeed be great pity If it should be-
come necessary TO publish to all the
world that Ell Paso has not enough
public spirited citizens to subscribe ten
thousand dollars to getting up oar
nival or exposition that would
attract visitors, and amuse and
instruct them as well as
our own people. The progressive mer-
chant will say that this is an ideal
time to advertise his business widely,
since the returns are certain. If this
is so with individual business men,
why does it not apply with added force
to the whole city? 1t is the best time
to advertise, for no investment could
be more certain of returns. The only
thing to guard against is that we
do not promise more than we
can furnish, and do not
fail in what we undertake. If the COM
prehensive scheme for a midwinter
carnival must be allowed to drop, the
