LAND AND WATER.
National Irrigation Would Not Conflict With Legitimate Private Water En-
 tefpr;ses.

|
 The West would long since have had
 working at exmples of national irriga- tion and government construction of reservoirs, had it not been for western opposition. This statement has been made by Photographer Newell of the Irrigation branch of the Geological Survey and by others who have been connected with irrigation development surveys, etc., for long period of years. It was thought at first that vast fortunes were to be made out of dam sites, the construction of reser- voirs by private capital and the sell ing of water rights to settlers. But the experiences of the last ten or twe4ye years have shown tLat private capital in storage reservoirs is not generally good investment. Right here comes in the question of title to water, and whether the right to the water should go with the land. Irrigation invest ments have proven safe, and money can now be found for investment, only in project organized as co operative canal companies, or where the title to the land and the necessary water is united while under the water-right system it is impossible to longer secure the investment of intelligent capital.
 The ditfence between the two plans is very clear. Under one, the farmer owns the land aud the company sells him water right. This is the system which has almost invariably turned ont disastrously. Under the other system, the owner of the land also owns share in the water property, so that the ownership of land and water are united. This is tie successful system. So with proper management. the cooperative system can be success ful as far as it goes; but it is necessari- ly limited in extent.
 At this point national irrigntior comes in. Some have conceived the impression that national irrigation contemplates the building or owner ship by the government of all reservoir and irrigation works. This is erroneous. No one proposes such a policy. The national irrigation movement contem- plates the construction of reservoirs etc, by the government, only when such work is beyond the scope of private enterprise or private capital, while at the same time national irriga- ton would operate along the same lines as cooperative irrigation; that is, it would mean land and water owner ship combined in one, only the water ownership would be public instead of an individual ownership.

An Important Work.
(From the Globe sllver Belt.l


 Engineer Thomas Winsor, of the United States geological survey, and 9 party of four assistants, arrived from Riverside yesterday. Their principal work is to establish attitudes, which is preliminary to mapping the district The altitude is taken at distances three miles apart along the public highways and railroads in the district to be mapped, and is marked either by iron posts set in the ground or by aluminium plates securely fastened to rocks not likely to be moved by the action of the elements.
 Mir. Winsor and party established attitudes between Riverside and Globe. The highest altitude taken was at the summit on the Pioneer road, which was found to be 615S feet above sea level.
 The altitude of Globe, taken this morning, was found to be 3525 feet, and was marked by inserting circu- lar plate in the wall of the court house at the southwest corner.
 Mir. Winsor's party will be followed (no definite time being set by the gov ernment topographer, who will make a complete map of the district, which will be called the Globe sheet. This map will be complete in every detail, showing every road, trail and house, and the exact contour of the country.
 After the mapping of the district a thorough examination will be made by government experts of the geological features, which will be of great value to the mining industry.
 Mr. Windsor and party will go from here to San Carlos, to run levels there in connection with the proposed storage dam which the government has under consideration. They will then return to Riverside to finish up their work there, and come back to Globe in aboul three weeks.

WAS TOO INDUSTRIOUS.
Wasyl Pstur fingered Moment Too
Long and Lost His Life.

a number of section hands were
working on the stone bridge on which
the Delaware. Lackawanna and West
ern crosses the Lackawanna river, at
11.S0 o'clock yesterday morning, when
Engineer John Lutz backed his engine
into the ash pit to rake out the cinders.
Foreman Mcnamara and all of the
men saw the engine approaching and
all stepped out of harms way but
Wasyl Pstur, who fingered too late,
and before he could jump from be-
tween the tracks. the wheels of the
engine tender had passed over his
body, severing the head from the
shoulders and grinding the body into
fragments.
The accident so unnerved several of
his workmen that they had 4
narrow escape from falling off the
south wall of the bridge into the Lack
awanna river. The remains were gath
cred up and Coroner Roberts was noti-
fed. He viewed them and decided that
an inquest was unnecessary.
The remains were removed to Gus
lexis undertaking establishment.
Pstur lived at 141 Seventh street. He
was a married man and has a wife
and three children in Austria. He came
here about year ago to establish a
home for his family, and was known
as one of the most industrious en-
ployes in the yard.
The engineer did not see the man on
the track. Pstur had the same warn
ing as the other men, but his industry
led him to linger a moment too long.

James Daley, the 10-year-old son of
Edward Daley, of 210 Railroad ave-
nue., was drowned about 7.30 o'clock
last night in the Roaring Brook dam
between River and Hickory streets.
Had the boys who took the lads
body from the water known enough
to induce artificial respiration his life
would have been saved, according to
Coroner Roberts.
The hoy, in company with number
of companions about his ows age, was
bathing in the pool lust above the
dam, which is nightly used by boys
from all parts of the city, despite all
efforts made to prevent it. 1t is full
of holes and is a very dangerous place
for any one who cannot swim. The
Daley boy could not swim.
1t is believed that he stepped into
one of these holes and sank imme-
diately, but juts how the accident
happened could not be learned last
night, the boys who accompanied the
Daley boy being too frightened to tell
connected story. Shortly after 7.30
one of them ran up to William Lyons,
John Allen and Thomas Flaherty
three young men who were standing
some distance off, and told them that
a boy was drowning.
The three rushed to the spot and
young Lyons, after diving several
times, managed to bring the body to
the surface, afterwards carrying it to
the hank. They believed the boy to
be dead and accordingly made no at
tempt to restore him to life.
Coroner Roberts was notified and ar
rived on the scene about $50 o'clock.
He gave permission to have the body
removed and it was accordingly taken
to Cusck's undertaking establish
ment, where he made a thorough ex-
animation.
The body was then fairly warm and
the coroner discovered that a large
portion of the right lung was still in
fated with air.
He stated that taking this fact into
consideration, the boys life might
have been saved had artificial respira-
tion been resorted to Immediately af-
ter the body was taken from the water.
The body was prepared for burial and
was later removed to the home of
the boys parents.
The following jury was impannelled
and viewd the remains: Thomas Low
ry, u. ]. Davis, NJ. A. Rafter, John
Neary, Thomas Cleary and J. p. Too
hey. An inquest will be held in the
near future

THREATENED THE CHIEF.
Sensational Charge Made Against a
Permanent Man by Select Coun-
Gilman Joseph oliver.

"There is a great deal of truth in
this talk Of bad discipline in the fire
department at present, but it's the
fault of councils and nobody else.
CouncilmeE have too many friends
among the paid men of the depart
ment.
"A certain permanent man in one
of the companies went off on a ten
days drunk a little while ago and
when the chief took him to task the
permanent man informed his superior
that if he got gay he'd get his shield
taken from him. That's a sample of
things at present."-Statement made
by Select Councilman Joseph oliver,
Of the Fifteenth ward, last night to a
Tribune man.
The above, if true, discloses a most
remarkable state of affairs and Mr..
oliver will be untrue to the interests
of the city If he does not lay the mat
terter before councils at once and see
to it that this particular permanent
man is properly and effectually dis
ciplined.
There have been many rumors of
such happenings in the department,
but this is the first instance, so far
evidence of insubordination has been
publicly charged by a city official.
Mr.. oliver denied most emphatically
that his purpose in introducing Sec
ond ordinance providing for a reor-
ganization of the fire department was
scheme to kill the whole matter, as
was intimated by Mr.. Chittenden, the
father of the other ordinance pro-
Viding for the same thing.
There's nothing in that story at all"
said Mr.. Oliver, with fire in his eye,
I'm an enthusiastic fireman, I'll ad-
nit but l want to see the city's fire
department on a paid basis just as
much as Mr.. Chittenden does and so
do all the other volunteer firemen in
the city.
I'm willing to admit that by my
plan the cost of maintaining the fire
department will be materially in
creased, but no reasoning man can eX-
pect to have paid department with
out extra expense. The apportionment
of men as made in my ordinance was
made only after a careful considera-
ton of the needs of the case and not
until / had obtained the Views of sew
eral prominent business men from
various parts of the city, some of
whom wanted to know if Mr.. Chitten-
den was in his right mind when he
suggested such a small number of men
for some companies as he does in his
ordinance"
Mr. Oliver is very sanguine of the
ultimate passage of his measure ana
claims that the fire committee uf se-
lect is with him.
