SHOTS FROM MADISON.

Governor Scofield returned Monday
from his western vacation in excellent
health aid spirit. and is busy catching
on to the legislative work which has
been going on during his absence.
Lieutenant Governor Stone has resum-
ed his chair in the senate, where he
presides with becoming dignity.
Several important measures have
been up for discussion before the as
sembiv and senate this week, but final
action has not been takenupon many of
them. The Superior tax bills were
very wisely recommended by the judi
ciarv committee tor indefinite postpone
ment, the committee evidently being
of the opinion that local matters of that
nature might better be adjusted at
home. The Hall anti-pass resolution
with forfeiture of office clause, passed
the assembly, but what it's final fate will
be remains 10 be seen. The bill 10 in
crease taxation of insurance companies
is receiving considerable opposition,
bnt with such able supporters as Judge
orion, Mr.. Hall and several of the lead
ing NJ EN- bers, it is more than likely the
state treasury will be enriched several
thousand dollars next year by the pro-
per assessment of these large compan-
les.
Wednesday afternoon in response to
an invita- ion from President Adams, of
the State university, the members of
both houses visited the university build
in@s. The elegant new gymnasium was
the last building inspected. All the
students, numbering about two thous-
and. were assembled. The honorable
visitors were given a rOusing welcome
and speeches were made by several Of
the prominent visitors.

Wednesday Assemblvman Daggett
was EN- barrassed at the opening Of the
morning session, by the presentation

large boquet of roses. Mr.. Daggett by
this time probably wishes that he had
health of women to the extent that he
believed it needed legislation in order
to protect it.
On Wednesday DR.. Butler, of this
city, father of II. S. and James y. and
Miss Anna Butler, of Superior, and
Mrs. Prof. Snow, OF VI ldison, held an
Informal reception in honor of his bir' h
day. Many old friends and acquaint.
ances called to offer congratulations and
well wishes. DR.. Butler 10 one or the
brightest AMI ablest men in the state,

pleasure to listen to, and at this adj

That portion of the agricultural ap
preparation bill adopted by the Fifty
fifth Congress which promises the mos
far-reachlng results in the way of ad
yancing the interests of profitable hus
bandry in this country Is the item
which appropriates $50, 900 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 in conference commit
tee. The Agricultural Department viii
now be enabled to study the great irri
CATION systems of Europe, such as tn,
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 tC
the monster irrigation project now or
foot for retaining what is known ms
the Arizona desert" To carry out this
colossal engineering enterprise the
greatest storage reservoir in the worlC
is to be constructed in the mountains
about sixty miles northeast of Phoenix
In this reservoir will be stored the win
tersfloods, to be drawn from as needed
during the summer months and sold Il
the irrigating canal companies now do
ing business in the Salt River Valley
and by them distributed to farmers
who will pay certain amount per acre
per annum. 1t is estimated that enough
water Is wasted from Salt River eact
winter to irrigate 100000 acres Il
| stored and properly distributed. Fol
this purpose the United States Govern
ment has granted the canal company
| the use of the Tonic basin, to be useC
as a storage reservoir, which will b,
| converted into a lake covering eighteen
square miles, and from which the wa
ter will be conveyed through the chan
mel of Salt River. The result OF thi
gigantic irrigation project will attrac
the attention Of engineers all over tn,
