ON THE STREET

| The immense crowd OF market. produce

vexatious delay. This morning string

for several minutes on Crawford and
South Main streets.

The building of ietties and the
throwing up of high banks along
the Mississippi are not more strict
ly within the scope and province
of the national government than is
a comprehensive system of water
storage for the West. And the
former are not 80 far reaching or 80
sure in their beneficial results, for
the building of levees is only pal
hative measure against foods,
whereas the building of great stor-
age reservoirs at the head waters Of
the rivers. would, according to Of
fetal engineering reports, prevent
the foods. Then during the grow
ing season, the water could be
drawn off for the irrigation of mil
lions Of acres. Such a system of
reservoir building ought to be the
steady, systematic work of practical
government for the next quarter of
a century, until every available
acre of the desert shall have been
reclaimed into fertile fields.
An election for municipal officers
will be held in Cuba sometime in
May after which the COVE rnment
of the towns there will be turned
over to the Cubans exclusively and
all United States officers now en-
gagged in administering them will
be recalled. As this is something
in the nature of an experiment,
General Wood and the higher mil
itary officers will remain in general
control until after it has proved
a success. The Cuban census is
now being rapidly tabulated and
its results will soon be available
for practical purposes. BY April
IL, the Spaniards in the Island
must decide whether they will re-
tain their citizenship in Spain or
will become subjects OF the new re-
public, so that the basis Of govern
mcnt will soon be settled. In the
elections, the old Spanish qualiica-
tons for voters will be observed by
restricting the suffrage to those
who can read and write and who
pay taxes, except that in cases of
soldiers Of the revolutionary army
these qualifications will be waived.

TIME CARD o. S. L. RS.


Last weeks Record published
the opinions Of thirty or more of
the taxpayers as TO the salaries
thar should be paid the various
officers While a great variety
of salaries were suggested, we could
not help but reflect upon the
County Superintendent's column
when we think Of the requisite
qualifications, the work that should
be done. aud the real responsible
ity connected with it. The aver
age of the general opinion shows
that the Superintendent should re-
ceive about S575 per year, while
some OF the other officers should re-
eeive Sl475. This will at once re-
fleet our interest in school work
and the preparation of our children
for life, or our lack Of judgment in
being able 10 estimate the work
and ability in preparing the youth
for the fullest living in its truest
sense. Babes when presented to
their parents are the most helpless
beings on earth. but their growth
and development into force able
TO cope with amy enemy bring the
parents their greatest pleasures.
The child is able to bring these
pleasures by having the best posi-
bile trimming, and the school is the
greatest fnctor in giving such n
skill. At the school aud at home
the children can be brought up and
trained without any extensive
course to fiji any Of the Offices, ex-
cept two or three that require additi
onal professional knowledge, which
must be obtained ftom the work in
a separate course. Where the
school system is properly worked
mp, and backed by the people, one
of the very beat teachers is the
county superintendent as the head
Of public schools, and he should lie
nble TO hold the teachers in harmo-
ny aud have the best methods used
in school. One with such qualif-
cations cannot leave the actual
school teaching for mere exist
ance, because he can get at least
500 per month for the time EN-
ployed. usually nine months The
county superintendent full time
is required, thirteen school months
in the year, besides spending much
money IN going from place to place
while visiting each of the schools
under him The fact that the Of
flee Of county superintendent is
and should be uou-poliiical. should
not bar 1t from just consideration
but on the other hand let W pay

According to Thursdays States
man contract has been drawn
and arrangements have practically
been completed between the state
aud the American Falls Canal
Company, by which $1,000 acres
Of arid land in Bingham county is
to be reclaimed. The land is to be
reclaimed under the Carey act and
legislation supplementary thereto
which provides for such reclama-
ton and the selling of the land to
settlers at so cents per acre. The
settlers that take the land are to be
furnished water at Ten Dollars per
shore, each share to represent a
carrying capacity sufficient to de
liver water at the rate of one-seyen-
tieth of second foot, and tho set
tier to have as much as one share
for each acre if he wishes it. AT
the time the settler buys a share
or shures of water, he becomes an
owner in the ditch, and when all
of the proposed land has been
bought or taken up, and water has
been sold with which to irrigate it,
the canal becomes the property OF
the settlers. Many technicalities
enter into the proposition, but in
substance is as given above, and
such move should be very encour-
a 5ing for this section as we have
just such a proposition that must
demand consideration soon.
