spectacle Of "a Greek population with

Ruther more than two centuries ago n
Greek settlement was founded in Cor

republic, to which the island at that
time belonged, and when the French
came into possession of the country they
es tablished the Hellenic eXiles, who had
meanwhile founded the Chapelle des
Grecs just outside Ajaccio at Cargese
and built them the church which they
have ever since cherished.
Intormarriages between the colonists
and the natives, at first rare, have now
become frequent, and it is to be feared
that the Greek language will soon be-
come as extinct there as the fustanella.
But with that wonderful tenacity
which it shows in modern Greece, in
spite of centuries of barbarian inroads

ws.hinxton.. Tomb.

Washington vas buried in what is
now known as the old vault, which is
perhaps 200 feet away from his present
resting place. Before his death he had
requested that new family vault he
CONSTRUCTED after his decease, and the
reason given for this is that the earth
upon the side of the hill where the old
vault was placed was likely to slip away
in the springtime.
No attention was apparently paid TO
this request. however, until about
1880, when an employee who had been
discharged from the estate broke into
the old tomb as an act of revenge and
stole skull which he supposed 10 be
that of George Washington. This he
took to Alexandria, and, as usual in
such cases. got drunk, and so his
secret was discuvered. and the skull
which proved to be that of Laurence
Washington instead. was returned.
This incident led to the final carrying
ont of the wish of General Washington.
The tomb which is his present resting
place was promptly built. and in 1881
his remains were removed to it The old
vault was allowed to fall into state Of
decay. and only few years ago it was
restored by the aid of drawings found
in the congressional library. An iron
fence has been built around it, and it
now receives the same care as the new

THE present discussion as to the
utilization of convict labor in the
State will no doubt result in good.
Hon. Frank G Cloudy, in recent
article in the times, touches the
proper button, says the Antonito
Ledger, He suggests that the con-
Wet labor of the State could be
utilized prohtably in. the construc-
ton of water-storage reservoirs,
and their should be no time lost IN
getting TO work Thedevelopmeut
of uew lands is now practically al
stand still, as the area under cul-
tivation uses all the water. In no
diroclion'cau we look for anything
SO beneficial to the State as the
utilization of the convict labor of
the State in constructing reservoirs
and then canals. That reservoirs
are practicable is no longer q6es-
on of doubt. The large reservoir
near this place belonging to the
Toltec Canal Co is a thing of per
fection and shows what may be
done in the matter during the
flood season. The present summer
should see all the convict laborers
in the State at work where they
c,n do good.

The above extract, taken from

argument against the measure. 1t
could then more readily understand
how it would be money well ap-
propriated to complete the canal

OF all the schemes so far brought
forward for combining pmlanthro-

so far as concerns the couvicts at
Canon City, the state canal propo-
sition is by far the most feasible

IN amy way Interfere with the dis
tribulion of the water. The pro-
pie of ten states can be depended
on TO provide wise laws and riga
lations to secure the greatest beue
fits TO the people from the benef-
cial use of the water"
Combating the erroneous ide"
that western development might
harm the east, Mr.. Carter stated:
Not only would every new som
munity in the west make new
market for eastern manufacturers.
but the surplus products of the far
western farms would not come to
the eastern markets. The last few
years have seen n most marvellous
growth of our export trade in he
farm products of the west to the
Asiatic markets, and this demand
is increasing every year and will
absorball the agricultural products
of the irrigated farms of the arid
west
Senator Warren says: Il want
to say that | am strongly in favor
of enlarging this policy by extend
ing it over the whole arid region
of the country. 1t is only fair
that it should be done. a national
policy of internal improvements
should be extended over the whole
country, and all the states should
participate in its benefits. Until
now it has been a sectional policy.
The great interior west has never
had its fair share of moneys ex-
pended for this purpose. .
George II. Maxwell, of Califor-
MIA, in behalf of the national con
gress, says:
I'VE favor the preservation and
development of our national re-
sources by the construction of stor-
age reservoirs by the general gov
ernment, Tor flood protection and
to save for use in aid of navigation
and irrigation the flood waters
which now run to waste and cause
overflow and destruction, and we
urge the adoption of this report as
to the construction of storage res
ervoirs in the arid regions, as Il
part of national policy of inter
nal improvements"
Mr. Maxwell referring to the
threatened litigation by Kansas,
said: The people of Kansas are
proposing to litigate with the peo-
pie of Colorado ior the waters of
the Arkansas river. Such litiga-
tion would be iuterminablc and it
is needless. The surveys made by
the United States geological sur
vey, show that there are natural
reservoir sites in the Arkansas ba-
sin in Colorado. which have al
been ready surveyed by the geo
logical survey. where more than
enough water for both states can
be stored at comparatively sn all
cost to hold back the water which
now goes down in winter to add its
volume to the floods on the Missis-
sippi." = Increasing diversions

Money spent for storage reservoirs
would, first, prevent floods; second. |

raise the waters in the rivers in

STORAGE OF WATER
a Question OF Vital Importance
to Colorado.

When the last river and harbor
bill WAS passed-not the one now
under consideration -ocnatorWnr-
rem of Wyoming caused an amend
ment to be made to that bill which
carried with it an appropriation
for survey of reservoir sites in
Colorado and Wyoming, and also
for the preparation of maps and
reports as TO the feasibility and
desirability of their construction.
The surveys have been made and
the report submitted by Col. Hiram
NJ. Critteuden, who demonstrates
the practicability and actual ne
cessity of such governmental
system. In concluding his report
he says he is led to the convictions:
First A comprehensive reser-
voir system in the arid re lions of
the United States is absolutely es-
sential to the future of this portion
of the national domain; and
Second 1t is not possible to
secure the best development of
such a system except through the
agency of the general government -
He further says that "the pur-
pose of this policy of federal stor-
age reservoir construction is, as
stated in the report, TO enlarge and
reinforce the natural resources of
The streams, leaving the use of their
waters to be disposed of exactly as
mt present, that is, to be distribut-
I'd under the laws of the state, as
is stated elsewhere in the report,
the use of the waters so stored
should be absolutely free to the
public forever, just as the canals,
harbors, and other public works
are free for general use without
toll or levy of any kind
In the present congress Senator
Carter of Montana, has vigorously
advocated the adoption of this
policy, insisting that it was a great
national economic question poll
cy which, il it were adopted on a
broad basis, would result in the in
auguratiou of new era of devel-
opment for the whole west, and
enormously stimulate the,prosperi-
ty of every part of these United
States. In furtherance of these
convictions he has offered amend
ment to the river and harbor bill
uppropriating five million dollars
for building storage reservoirs in
all the semi-arid and arid land
and territories, and providing that
the waters stored may be used for
irrigation. Speaking further, he
said the problem was not a local
one; that the government was put
Ting out millions to levoe against
the Missouri and Mississippi river
floods. but Notwithstanding these
expenditures great floods would
destroy millions of dollars worth
of property He closed with these
words before the senate committee:
Let these flood waters be stored
on the headwators of the Missouri,
the Platte, and the Arkansas rivers
and the other tributaries of the
Mississippi, in the mountain val
Ieys and interior basins which ma
ture seems to have'created, so that
man could, by building great dams,
transform them into inland lakes
and reservoirs of vast extent and
capacity, and then the waters will
not only be held back and prevent
ed from going down in freshets to
overflow and destroy the fertile
country far below, but they can be
drawn into irrigating canals in the
