PRESS COMMENT.
COLORADO IS CONCERNED.

"
Ever since the Elephant Butte dam
litigation began the News has contend
ed that Colorado had a very direct in
tereet in the case. While nominally the
suit involves the right Of an irrigation
company to construct a dam and reser-
voir on the Rio Grande river at Ele-
plant Butte, the principle involved Is
one that would enable the government
to put a stop to the entire Irrigation
system Of the San Luis valley In this
state. :
1t 10 not impossible or even improb-
able that this Is what these Ell Paso
SPECTATORS have been after all the time.
Their whole proceeding has been one Of
trickery and deception. 1t is a matter
Of common knowledge that they have
long been making complaints against
the people Of Colorado for their use Of
the waters Of the Rio Grande river.
They coveted these waters for a reser.
voir Of their own for purposes OF pri.
vate speculation. When the Elephant
reservoir In New Mexico was In.
augurated they saw their chance. II
they could prevent the construction Of

wished to accomplish. His death after

who continue for mere wantonness to
slay whom they can. This sad tragedy

years, at single bound. In 1889 his
first timid little volume of Depart

rack Room Ballads" and his tales of
India made him soon popular as Il
story-teller and versifier, showing, too,
that as a globe-trotter he had become
versed in the ways of many people.
Rudyard Kipling was born in Bonn
bay, Dec. 80, 1865. His father, an Eng
lishman of Dutch descent. was an ar
fist. Kipling's childhood was spent
near to the wild beasts of the jungle
Later he was educated at college in
England. At 10 he returned to Lahore,
India, and began working as a reporter
on a newspaper. Meantime he studied
the soldier, the civilian, the native.
About these the writer wove some
charming fictions At 30 he issued his
first book. By 1889 he was regarded in
London as a literary man. The follow
ing year he elaborated with Walter
Balestier on a book, and through him
became acquainted with Carolyn Bal
estier, granddaughter of n prominent
New Yorker. He married her, and set
tied near Brattleboro, VT.
Here Kipling lived for three years,

rather resented it. He also Quarreled
with his brother-in-law, and finally
packed up his belongings and returned
to England. 1t was upon arriving In
New York from an ocean voyage that

That portion of the agricultural ap
preparation bill adopted by the Fifty
fifth Congress which promises the mos
far-reaching results in the way of adj
vancing the interests of profitable hus
bandry in this country is the iteu
which appropriates $3.50 for IAN in
vestigation of irrigation methods in the
United States and other countries
When the bill was first reported it re
stricted the investigation to the United
States, but fortunately this restriction
was eliminated ia conference commit
tee. The Agricultural Department will
now be enabled to study the great irri
cation systems of Europe, such as the
British system that has made tillablt
and productive vast areas in Egypt
The United States, however, has al
ready made phenomenal progress in the
reclamation of arid lands in California
Oregon. Colorado, Arizona and other
Western States. Millions of barren
acres have been made fruitful through
the various systems of irrigation
through Federal and State appropria
tions, as well as through private enter
prise. The schemes already in opera
ton for carrying water to barren lands
are diminutive, however, compared to
the monster irrigation project now or

the Arizona desert" To carry out this
colossal engineering enterprise the

this purpose the United States Govern
ment has granted the canal company
the use of the Tonic basin, to be used
as a storage reservoir, which will be
converted into lake covering eighteen
square miles, and from which the wa

gigantic irrigation project will attract
the attention of engineers all over the
world.

he contracted the cold that led TO his
serious Illness.
Kipling is not a favorite with all
readers. A great many do not under
stand his humor. Women as n rule do
not enjoy his writings. His boldness
and subtleties are mainly masculine.
He wrote one great poem, "The Recess
sional," and this will probably live as
long as England lives. 1t is a prayer,
an admonition:
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.
His latest effort in this line is his
masterpiece on expansions: Take Up
the White Mans Burden"
Perhaps no one writer receives as
large a price for his work as Kipling
For eight short stories he has received
nearly $4,000. Payment from other
countries nearly doubles this sum. In
addition to this he receives royalties,
which swell his aggregate yearly in
come to about $4,000. His illness has
doomed his books, and people who
scarcely heard of the poet before are
now reading his works. plain Tales
from the Hills" is perhaps the most
popular of his writings at present.
The poem. The Widow at Windsor"
is one of the best Kipling has written
in the spirit of proud glorying in Brit
aims extent. In it he says:
Walk wide o the widow at Windsor,
For 'alf O. creation she owns;
We ave bought her the same, with the
sword an the flame,
And we've sailed it down with our
bones.

1t is called the age of the humani-

olence now exceeds by far anything
ever before known. The "loveless
world" of the Caesars. Ia which not a

stand such institutions, was anywhere
on earth, has been succeeded by what
in contrast might be called literally
loving world. Even animals are pro-
tected from needless pain. Cruelty is
certainly in all civilized countries
counted the one undebated infidelity.
1t is unbearable. A tale of cruelty in
the press is sufficient to excite universal
protest and sure righting. Though in
small ways we may cause each other
needless pain by gossip, by envy and
jealousy, for instance, yet never as
now was the gentleman required to be
gentle. never was a deed of kindness
such passport to social honor.

Enoch T. Carson, whose death at

sons over all the country, was without
doubt the highest authority on Free
masonry in America, if not In the
world. MI. Carson was man of
means and could afford the expensive
luxury of book collecting For fifty
four years he was busy gathering
works on Masonry and secret societies
generally, and the result is that he
leaves a library that will be useful to
all students. The late book collector
exercised the rarest Judgment and skill
in his work, and his great knowledge
of Masonic literature enabled him to
pick up volumes for a mere song, the
values of which were very high in the
markets where the rarity of such works
was known. Writers on Freemasonry

advantage by the success of their mas

has the least hold upon the people. The
head of the family, Prince Victor, is a
descendant of Jerome, a brother of the
first emperor. and certainly the most
unpopular one of the family. There
has not been one of the family since
Napoleon the Great who has merited
the entire respect of the French people
and the descendants have grown less
manly the farther removed they were
from the parent stock. In 1888 the
Comte de Chambord, who was a grand.
son of King Louis Philippe, died and
the Bourbon succession was merged
in the Count of Paris, the representa-

the Bourbon-Orleanist family Around
neither of these two claimants could
the French people rally with any hope
or expectation that better or more
stable government would be given them
than they enjoy under the republic. Be-
sides all this a majority of the people of
the middle class, who make public SEN

public and believe the present troubles
will pass away and bring a better and
