Beginning to Understand
irrigation and the West

Yhefe Is more discussion in the
East Of the great scheme Of Nation
al Irrigation than there is in the
West where it is proposed to put
the scheme into operation, and
Eastern people and newspapers
are commenting upon it and be-
ginning to wonder why the West
ern people are not more alive to
their interests. IF there is a sug-
gestion in the East that stream
might he made navigabIe for few
miles Ii tber toward its head. i'm
mediately all Of the people in the
locality that the stream touches
organize themselves together and
begin to work for an appropriation
from the National Treasury, to
deepen the channel and clear it of
distinctions; and the result is that
millions are appropriated where
the scheme Is not practical at all,
and so the money is wasted 1t is
true Of harbors and public build
Jugs. except that the buildings can
be erected and used, whether it is
profitable or not; but in the west,
where the government owns a Ges-
ert that could be made worth two
empires, there Is perfect apathy
and private capital is looked for
with which to develop these vast
resources, by which, when it Is
done, corporations must have con-
troll of public necessities that Will

is today unlimited opportunity Of

numbers Of such corporations who
only wait to be satisfied that th'
natural resources actually exist t.
enter upon them; and it would b.
better for the West that this meth
od be employed than that the grea
West should remain undeveloped
but it would be far better for tn
people who are now, and are to bt
in the West. if such works as grea

them had known before Fernando was
chosen as juror. Since .aturday 1
have received information that both OF
them knew it, said Robertson, and he
asked Ables To take the stand.
Ables was asked If he had not been a
director and auditor of the old Hagey
Company. He said that he didn't
know that such had been the case. II
he had ever been elected ne had not
been notified of his election, he stated
Robertson introduced documents to
show that Ables had been auditor Of an
association which made application for
a charter for the Hagey Company The
attorney began fishing for the books,
but they were not to be got at.
Magoon didn't remember anything at
all Of any Importance about the Hagey
business. He didn't know that he had
been treasurer, or whether an associa-
ton had been formed at all or whether
any books had been kept. He thought
it possible that he might have the
books among his rubbish" at home. He
didn't remember that he had ever heard
that Fernandez was taking the cure.
Magoon was oss-eXamined at length
by Robertson and by the court but he
could not recall any facts bearing on
the question at issue. The court wanted
to know If the director examined the re-
port of the managers, when meetings
were held, and the witness replied that
he never remembered such a thing be-
ing done. Gear thought the directors
had been derelict i'm their duty if they

Judge Wilcox's Court this morning than
has been seen there FOR many a day. a
defendant who was charged with haN-
ing no visible or lawful means of sup
port, was the individual who flashed
the money His name was Filippo An
DO, and the police still claim that he
has been living off the earnings OF
fallen woman, named Rose Watson.
Officer Spencer and Detective David
KAPPA testified that the defendant had
been known to them for some months
past and during all of that time, they
had never known him to do any work.
He had no means of support or income
so far as they We're aware. In fact, IT
was shown by these witnesses, that the
defendant had rented a house in the
Iwilei district and lived there with the
woman, Rose Watson. Subsequently,
the defendant and the woman had NOV
ed to a place on King street, where the
man was alleged to have engaged in
soliciting Chinese to visit the woman
In fact, the woman and Chinese had
been arrested in the house last week
and charged with fornication while the
defendant was asleep in an adjoining
room in the premises.
In spite of this ugly showing made by
the prosecution, Anbo persisted i'm TAX
ing the stand. Anbo seemed to believe
in the power Of gold. for about the first
thing he did was to produce a channels
skin sack containing English sovereigns
which he dropped with an inspiring
thud on the table.

Anbo admitted knowing the woman
and said that he had lived with her for
the past eighteen months. Instead of
the woman giving him money he had
been the one who had produced" He
denied strenuously that he had solicit
ed people to visit the woman and in
explanation of his presence at the King
street house when the arrest Of the wo-
man and the Chinese visitor was made.
said that he, Anbo had been asleep.
Deputy High Sheriff Chillingworth
handled the witness without mercy and
Anbo probably passed as dsagreeable n
htteen minutes on the stand, as he had
ever known in his life. Anbo claimed
that the only reason he had been sup
porting the woman and taking care OF
her when she was sick. was from
friendship. Finally, when the prose
cutting attorney asked him to explain
why he, an Italian, should care so much
Tor an English woman. Anbo nearly ex-

FUN AND PHILOSOPHY.
An Oak Park Mans Shopping Math-
ematics,

One man, a resident Of that exclusive
suburb known as Oak Park but pro-
missed promotion as Greater Chicago
has a firm belief that every article of a
Woman's wardrobe costs $40, and he
instances this experience.
When he was married some fifteen
years ago he went shopping with his
wife, and she was the first woman he
had ever accompanied on a shopping
tour, or as he slangily expresses it
tout" and she guided him to the milli-
merry department with a CELEBRITY that
gave him no chance to ask questions.
They were going to the theater after
ward and expected to indulge in lit
tie supper for two before returning home
but tate got in her work as usual and
knocked all that part of their plans in
the head. The French madame who was
selling that hat didn't care a rap for
fate or any other privileged character
when she was adjusting her wares.
She perched a hat on her customers
pretty blonde head with such charm
ing effect that even husband could
not resist.
''Ees it not butte n'est-ce pas?" she
asked.
Better take it," said John. He knew
man could but the best hat he wanted
to wear for 81 or s. and he wasn't going
to be mean with his owny'."
When IL was handed To MIN in a box
he asked the price. 1t was $40. He did
not fall dead, but that amount was all
he had for the current months expenses
and he paid IL out like a man. They
walked home and it was fifteen years
before his WIFE asked him to 20 shop
ping again. That was one day last
week when she asked him to pay for a
waist she had bought. He thought like
ly 1t was a shirt waist and he bal
anced three silver dollars against a
possible fourth one. AS he tells the
story.
There was bit of frayed silk, and a
lot OF green mosquito netting, and a
handful of lace coarse enough to shoot
peas through, and something they call
a stock, and I'll be blamed If / didn't
