imperceptible wound it makes. Its
hollow core is large enough to carry
sufficient quantity of a drug to cause

Pressed against a persons arm or
leg or body in a crowd and the piston
showed hard the deadly dose would
go through any ordinary thickness Of
clothing and carry it's fatal dose deep
into the flesh.
Commissioner Lantry, DR.. Campbell,
of the prison medical corps, and num-
Der of experts in criminal devices have
examined the weapon and all pro-
nounced it not only something new in
the implements of crime, but some
thing more deadly in its possibilities
than they have ever seen.

the coat-lining of a notorious GRIM
inal of New York." said Warden
Hagan. "He was arrested for high
way robbery and is now serving a SEN
tence. 1t showed evidence of recent
use"
The warden, by way of illustration,
barely touched the end of the piston
and the dart shot out and remained
sticking in the coat of the reporter
seated fully four feet away.
'All the autopsies in the world
would not be likely to reveal the cause
of death in a person killed with this
thing" he said.

DANGEROUS IMPLEMENT.
Tiny Dart In Shot out of n Small
Syringe to Poison the Victims
of AssnssinH.

Warden Hagan, of the New York
tombs, has in his possession a novel
weapon, perhaps the most dangerous
ever taken from q prisoner.
The origin of this deadly implement
was an ordinary hypodermic syringe.
1t is the hypodermic syringe adapted
to crime.
The slender. hollow needle with
which the puncture is made and the
drug injected in ordinary use is made
into a sort of tiny blowpipe dart
which, when the piston is pressed,
will fly for a distance of several feet
with sufficient force to puncture the

nearly all of it is owned by these water
companies.
Of course, irrigation greatly increases
the value of these arid lands, hut the
settlers claim the right TO do the irrigat-
ing. If the streams were not mopopo-
lized by the corporations, each farmer
(or the settlements). could construct
their own bitches, and tap the stresms.
Some of them are sinking arteSian
wells, and will thus be independent of
the irrigating canals. That is why the
government is asked to sink artesian
wells in Colorado desert lands.
1t is held that the federal government
should protect the water supply, both
in the interests of public and private
lands. The settlers hold that the water
naturally belongs to the lands-.it is
part of the land, and cannot be sEgre-
gated.
This comes down from the aborigines,
who claimed that water was coIsinup-
ity property. 1t belonged to ai|.-ao
one could take that which belonged to
Others, but each person was entitled
to as much as he could use. For this he
gave his share of labor in constructing
bitches, etc. They held that the water,
like the air, was free to all, the man and
the beast, and no one individual had
right to take unto himself that which
belonged to all. Under the laws of
Colorado this orient law is reversed. A
person may appropriate" stream and
no one may take water out of it with
out first paying him. He owns the wa
ter by prior discovery" or location,
and his neighbors above and below
him must pay him a royalty. Under
the aboriginal custom, and the Spanish
law, the water is part of the land.
This is what is called riparian
rights" and was also embodied in the
old Roman law. 1t is now construed
otherwise, against the interests of the
government and the general public.
Who shall own the streams must soon
become national issue, as millions of
acres of land are forever worthless.
Shall few corporations own these
streams (and practically the land) or
the people to whom they naturally be-
long?
| Irrigation is comparatively new in
Colorado. These large enterprises have
sprung into existence within the last
ten years, since the tide of immigra-
tion has begun to flow in ard created
great demand for ds-especially
public lands.
Much of this arid region is being
planted to sugar beets. 1t is we'll adapt
ed to their culture and it is predicted
that the desert regions of the c:.;isd
States will eventually become the main
source of the sugar supply of this coun-
| try The beets raised here contain
from 200 to 300 pounds of sugar to the
ton, larger per cent. than the beets
grown in less warmer sections. The
beet is an adjunct to cattle and hog
raising. 1t is an excellent food and
makes the milk of the COW much sweet
er and increases the flow. They are
also fed to horses and sheep. And as
less water is needed for irrlgating
them, farmers are turning their atten-
tion to this culture as measure of
economy. 1t has been generally he-
lieved that beets canont be successfully
grown where irrigation is necessary;
but 1t is here demonstrated that even
better qualify ia produced OH arid

making It the base Of their operations.
In moving on this stronghold General
Otis proposes TO conduct two distinct on

This last move viii take about 10 days,
and military strategists look upon II as
another effort to flank the insurgents By
getting behind them at calumDit, similar
to flank movement which General Mac

This double operation makes Caiumpit
the center for the next few days while

Arthur's column advancing from Malolos
and Lawton's column on its 10 days
march by Norzagay. Macarthur has
only short distance to traverse, so that
