for superintendent, which dil away with th@ committees work. TEr com mittee on stockholders was also dis charged because the bylaws provided for that work. The bylaws are eX- haustive throughout. The superintend- ent clause not only made a change in . water delivery, but a revolution If the . entire canal system. He has power to . distribute water from the head of the canal to the last small lateral. He con trnls the haadgatss and the cleaning of . all ditches; in fact. he sUp5rVises all . things in cunnertiun with the entire water system from beginning tu end l because he controls the delivery of eV- cry head of wafer in the canal. After the meeting the directors Of the south 1 ern and western hvanches met and delegated all power in action regarding supervision i'll the canals, etc. b the directorate of the whole canal. There now is no more organization of the sep aratr branches of tha canal for the period of one year. ana the superin tandent assumes full charge and what function he does not fiji! the directorate conlrois. One other important change wrought in rhe bylaws is the disron- tinuance of all stock water after Jan uary l. 1901. which, of course, forces all ranchers to r=sart to other means to secure an adequate supply of stock water and many windmills and pump ing plants are being and will ba put in this wiuter. h the meeting there was considerable argument on the number of directors the united canal should have. II was decided t1 conform with , the precedent and have threc-ona from each old branch. Dne peculiar thing In this directorate business commented upon was the fact tha, tha majority of the stockholders have but q Cne-third representation: That is. the sou aern branch has a majority of stock in the canal. but by the bylaws they get one ! director The point was raised and discussed at length in the ms eting at the adoption of bylaws. When the final vote was taken it was noted with no little surprise that nearly every southern branch stockhClder voted for but one director from each branch. The discussion was and Jo an amen1ms Rt providing for five directors. It seemed that a fair way would be to select one director from each branch anl then se- lect two more by majority VC.e Cat large.) Then. of course the southern branch with its majority stock could name anGthar director from tNe south ern branch. Yet from the "josh4S" and s,ories by ;ile southern branchers, .t seems that it is best as it is. for they could not run it. judging from their former experience. for they tra led water runs and got it mixed. one man would accid entally run his own turn after he had traded it to a neighbor and had already used his friend $ water. Guns. pistols. Bowie knives. shoveis and clubs will now be buried. One stockhodsr while jabhering away, said, Since thare are now but three where there were formerly nine direct ors. of course there win be more water for the stockholders" The directors elect the srintenGent. wnO names the zanjero. subject 10 the consent of the directors.
