Water Storage on Salt River.
1 From the Phoenlx RenublIean.l ]

1 From the Phoenix Republican,
 A well-attended meeting of the gen eral water storage committee was held yesterday in two sessions, beginning at 10 o'clock. It was the first general committee meeting In three weeks, during which time there had been no falling off in interest. Mir. W. H. Code submitted short preliminary report upon the Gila river project, by which it was proposed to bring water into this valley, and he introduced data from the survey of McGinnis and Breckenridge. Dr. Ford, speaking of a letter by Mr.. ". J. Murphy, some time ago, printed in the local papers, in which he said that the government owed it to the Salt River valley to assist it in an irrigation enterprise, since it had permitted it's water supply to be shortened by the grazing of stock on forest reserves, said that the govern ment owed the valley nothing. Dr. Ford, speaking in his double capacity as member of the committee and mem- Ger of the legislature, pledged him self to use his latter capacity to favcr any plan upon which the committee might agree.
 The subject of bonding the county was taken under consideration, and Mir. $. NJ. McCowau discussed plan for issuing them and for their sale. Regard ing federal aid, Mir. McCowan believed that if representation were made to congress of the barren conditions of the Salt River valley field by reason of the lack of water, assistance in some form would be extended.
 Dr. 4. J. Chandler suggested divis- ion of the valley into districts.
 Col. William Christy favored federal permission to bond the county for a million dollars, and more than all, he favored direct progress to the desired end, and no more Hopping or sidewise motions.
 J. B. Hoover raised the question of the distribution of water, suggesting that, however it might be obtained, that the distribution should be ordered by a board of control.

sALvATloN ARMY lRRIaA1oRs.
Irrigation Engineer from the Punjah to
 Inspect American Methods.

The irrigation farms of the Salva- tion Army are attracting considerable notice. In Colorado the Army has one farm of 3 thousand acres and is about to add another thousand. It has an- other farm in California and the move ment generally is looked upon as of some economic importance.
 Commander Booth-T Tucker invited his friend E. A. Pargiter, govern ment irrigation engineer of the Punjab, !, India, to visit the irrigation farms of the Salvation Army, and Mr. Pargiter is now in this country on two years leave of absence.
 "I intend also to study irrigation in the United States for my own benefit, :" said Mir. Pargiter in an interview at San Francisco. "Methods and conai- tions here are quite different from in India, where I have been connected with the public works for some ff- teen years"
 MT. Pargiter upheld the Indian gov ernment in it's treatment of the famine question. "India," he said, "has re- claimed vast areas through building permanent irrigation works for the watering of arid lands which cannot grow crops without irrigation, and this has wonderfully improved the con dition of the people living in these dis tricts. There arc now about 5000, 900 acres benefited by system of irriga- tion works"
The Florence tribune., 1900-12-08
GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

Irrigation is under government con trol in India. This has proved by far the most satisfactory method and the best for the people. There have been many large private irrigation projects, but the government has found it neces- sary sooner or later to control them, for the reason that investments in large irrigation enterprises do not yield an immediate return on the money invested, and private capital is not will ing to wait eight CT ten or even fifteen years for an investment to begin to pay. But the government can wait, and finally will secure good interest on it's money. Some of the districts re- turn profit to the government as high as 10 and l5 per cent. Rice and sugar land is charged for irrigation about s3 per acre. ie charge for cotton lands is g. For wheat and bar ley lands $l is the charge"

A MISTAKEN IDEA.

The TRIBUNE has great respect for the opinions of Louis F. Post, editor of The Public, or had until the publica- tion of the following in the December lst issue of that paper:
 "At tue convention of the national irrigation congress, held in Chicago last week, resolutions asking congress sional appropriations for the irrigation of arid lands were adopted, in which the following clause appears:
 "That water of all streams should forever remain subject to public con- trol, and the right to use water for irrigation should inhere in the land irrigated, and it's beneficial use be tue basis, the measure, and the limit of the right.
 "Exaetly what that means is not very clear. It reads as if it were in tended 10 pacify objeetors who see in the agitation for retaining arid lands grand scheme in aid of land monop- oly. But there is really no guarantee in it against monopolization of the benefits of irrigation through monop- oly of land. If the right 10 the use of water for irrigation is to 'inhere in the land irrigated the benefit will certainly not go to the users. It will go to the owners. In rent or price the grabbers of arid land will take from users the pecuniary benefits of con gressional irrigation. Is this what the irrigation congress intended?"
 The extract quoted above is clear to one who has any understanding of irrigation methods. It is not only clear, but it is honest-perfectly in line with the code of principles uni formly advocated by The Public. It presents the only safeguard against land monopoly, and takes the farmer out of the grasp of the soulless cor poratiou controlling the water through it's canals. The benefit certainly goes to the users, who own their own farms, which would be worthless without the water. The only monopolists known in the irrigated section aside from the canal companies are those who are advocating the cession of the arid lands to the states and territories and the building of storage reservoirs by the government for the benefit of pri- yate corporations. If MT. Post will post himself in the matter he will see his mistake.

THE holding of the National Irriga- tion Congress in the East, as it turned out, was wise move. The people of that half of the coun try have had the subject of national irrigation brought home to them in manner not other wise possible. The far-reaching inn portance of the problem has been pre- sented to them and genuine interest has been awakened. Instead of finding opposition in the East, the Congress found that eastern men of prominence were more than interested in a propo- sition which promised an increased western population of millions of peo- pie. As the ''enemy's country" has been invaded, the myth of eastern op- position has faded away and it's peopl e are found to be anxious to see inaugu- rated national policy of western arid land reclamation. The western dele gates went home with the feeling that they have the hearty support of east ern interests in securing action which will open to settlement half a conti- nent, ca pablo of supporting fifty mil lion people. They cannot but feel that this support is growing that it is development into great movement; that many people are realizing that na- tional action would meet such vest ern developing as would increase the national wealth beyond measnre.

To Bond the County.
LFroIn the Phoenix Enterprise.l

The water storage committee was in session almost the entire day yesterday. It was very important meeting and many important features were brought up for discussion. It was finally de- eided that bill authorizing the coun- ty to issue bonds for the construction of 8 reservoir should be drafted by the executive committee and presented to the general committee to-day for ap- proval, as the general committee would be in session again to-day. This draft of bill to be introduced was adopted with snme few minor changes to-day. It is the sense of the body that the wis est plan will be to bond the county and divide into irrigation district cts. as the district plan has proved something of a f4ilure and might cause troublein float ing the bonds.

A WATER storage committee, which has been in session in Phoenix for several weeks, completed it's labors Wednesday by drafting bill authoriz- ing Maricopa county to bond itself for a million dollars for the purpose of con- structing storage reservoir iu the Tonto basin. Under the restrictions of the Harrison act, the bill will re- quire the consent of Congress, which will be asked during the present ses- sion. Were it not that the govern ment has withdrawn from entry the reservoir sites on the Gila river, refus- ing to do anything itself or allowing any one else to do so, it is probable that Pipal county would take the same action. It is possible, however, that Congress will see the unwisdom of such dog-in- the-manger policy and will make an appropriation for the San Carlos dam, which would furnish water for the Pima Indians, besides irrigating 100000 acres of government land, which could easily be made to bear the cost of construction. If Con gress will not do this, it should throw  the reservoir sites open to private entry.

THE FAMINE.

Irrigation eau hardly solve the famine question, for the reason that the famines occur in regions where some years there is ample rainfall for the crops. The drouth comes along generally about once in ten years, and while an irrigation system would avert trouble for that year, during the other nine years it would not be patronized. The stricken districts have suffered a drought for three years in succession this time, something which will prob ably never happen again for fifty or one hundred years. When it rains in those districts there is more than enough of it. Irrigation is then utter ly of no use."

DULUTH SCHOOL BIDS
OPENED BEFORE MEETING
Contract Let at Last Nights Session
While One Member Was
Sick and Unable to
Vote.

WINONA, MINI, March 20.-(Special) y
At the meeting of the normal board this
evening the contract for the construction
Of the Duluth normal building was
awarded to Mcleod & Smith, of Duluth,
for $6S,20 Arrangements were also made
for the securing of bids for the compile
ton of the plumbing plant, payment for
same to be made out of moneys already
appropriated Supt. Lewis, who origin
ally objected to the bids owing to the
fact that jobbery was whispered, voted
for the awarding of the contract, he eA-
planning that owing to the fact that
Director Phelps was sick in his room at
the hotel he would vote yes In order TO
avoid having him called down. He
thought new bids should be called for as
the ones received We're entirely too high
and would eventually exceed the appro-
priatior. A resolution was adopted pro-
Viding for postgraduate course in
normal schools covering subjects re-
quired for professional state certificates
when twelve or more candidates already
advanced graduates desire it.
At the meeting today it was settled that
normal school teachers of summer
schools should be regularly paid by the
schools to which they belong and that
no free service be demanded The board
declined to consider Prof. Freeman's bill
of $l25 for plans and specifications
furnished and he gave some intimation
of his intention to bring suit fer the
amount.
Four bids from Duluth, one from St.

DUEL IN KANSAS CITY.
LIVELY SHOOTING SCRAPE GROWS
OUT OF POLITICAL FIGHT.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 20.-A
dozen shots were exchanged and a lively
sprinting match was INDUCED in in the
north end this afternoon when three Re-
publican canvaSsers attempted to inVes-
tigate alleged fraudulent registration
from the rooming house above Election
Judge John Pryors saloon at sos Walnut
street.
In the primaries last week Pryor acted
as one of the judges in the Second ward
in the Tenderloin district. Claims OF
fraudulent, registration had been made
and for two days canvassers have been
investigating the charges. Today Joe
Morris, Edwin A Scroggins and w. W.
holland, Republican canVassers, with two
newspaper representatives, entered Pry-
ors place to verify the registration Of
twenty-five men designated as living in
the rooming house kept by Pryor
Pryor refused to aid the canvassers
and, instead, drew a revolver and start
ed for Scroggins, who had taken the
Judge to task at the primaries because
Of alleged Irregularities Scroggins, fol-
lowed by holland, dashed out of the place
while Canvasser Morris covered Phil Nc
Crory, Pryor's partner, who had grabbed
a gun and started to mix in.
While Morris kept McCrory in the sa-
loon, behind the bar of which a dozen
loungers sought cover, Pryor, Scroggins
and holland enlptied their revolvers With
out effect at each other in the street
Their ammunition spent, Scroggins and
holland started for the police station, ami
Pryor returned to the saloon, pushing the
reporters into the street and threatening
to shoot.
The police made no effort to make ar
rests.
