Warrington, July 2.-Considerable in
terest has been manifested by govern
ment officials In the bill recently
framed at Cheyenne, by \ number OF
western congressman and engineers,
looking to the construction Of reser-
voirs for the storage of water and 9th
er necessary irrigation works for arid
land reclamation. Among those who
have carefully examined the provis-
ions of the proposed bill Is Commits
sioner Hermann of the general land
office, and in general the measure
meets with his approval, although its
terms are considered too indefinite for
final adoption.
Mr.. Hermann approves the main
idea, namely, the construction of these
reservoirs with the funds raised from
the sale of public lands, as this meth
cd, in his Judgment, is more likely to
meet the approval Of eastern congress-
men than would n direct appropriation
from the treasury, such as is made for
river and harbor improvements. AT
the same time he points out the made
quacy of the provision that the funds
raised in one state shall be expended
In that state. This would work very
well in states like Colorado, Oregon,
the Dakotas and others where the re-
ceipts of the land offices are large, but
the receipts in Nevada amount to prac-
tically nothing, and under this system
that state would not be benefited ut all.
A glance at the following statement
of the total amount of cash received
on account of sales of public lands in
1900 in the state to be benefited by this
act, gives an idea of the relative BEN
eft each will receive.
Arizona, S33,951; California, S122,-
800; Colorado, S164,24S; Idaho, S113,-
$40; Kansas, S3,494;; Montana. $780,

Dakota, S137. .SS1: Utah, $60,S57; Wash
ington, S155, ,213; Wyoming, S15S,931.
On the above basis number of the
states could, in a few years, accumu-
late n sufficient amount to begin the
construction of reservoirs, but 1t would
be years and years before Nevada,
Kansas, New Mexico, Nebraska, Ari-
zona or even Utah could construct the
first reservoir of any size.

CRIPPLE CREEK OFFICIALS
INDICTED BY THE GRAND JURY

Cripple Greek, Colo, June 30.-In-
dlctments against between twenty and
twenty-five former and present officials
In the Cripple Creek district and few
private ma1efactors were found yes
tcrday by the special grand jury EN-
paneled by Judge Seeds on the petit
tlon Of 800 taxpayers three weeks ago.
Fourteen true bills We're returned,
some of them containing several
names. Only four arrests We're made
last night, but others will follow as
soon as the parties for whom capinses
have been issued can be located.
The arrests made are as follows:
Barney Hage, former line collector OF
Cripple Creek; Charles Gray, John w.
Ward and Tom Furber, all ex-pollce-
men Of Cripple Creek.
These were arrested on the same
charges, which We're conspiracy ana
secreting witnesses, larceny as ballec
and embezzlement, and accessory af-
:er the fact to larceny. Several months
ago Ferdinand Poefthkc, n stranger
stopping ut the Manila house, was
robbed OF Sl.l00 by two women who
ne had invited TO his room 10 drink
oeer. The grand Jury gathered inform.
alton TO the effect that the policemen
indicted secured the money from the
girls and made settlement with the
victim. giving him n small portion OF
the cash and inducing him to leave
town and not TO appear against the
thieves. The Indictment is brought on
this charge.
The other indictments cover wide
range OF crimes from participation In
contracts by public officials, nisappro.
priation OF public funds, bribery and
compounding felony.
The four arrested last night were
taken before Judge Seeds, arralgned
The state herald., 1901-07-05

and gave bonds in the sum of 81 900
each for appearance.
The main features of the report
bear on discoveries of participation In
coStracts by members of the school
board and municipal officers In the dis.
trict. The report says that there was
found TO be many cases Of this char.
acter. II cites that the interest of the

vantage OF the public, and that the af-
fairs of the district have not been rs
economically administered as the pub
lie interests demand.
One direct criminal charge Is made
that warrant No. 33sia for $50 was
paid by the treasurer of III Paso coun,
~ in 1895, and the grand Jury found,
us 1t believes. that this was really
warrant No. 33S. which, having once
been paid, was treated with acid, the
canccllng stamp having been erased
and the fractional number added, and
was again presented and paid. II rec
ommends that steps be taken TO re-
cover the amount OF money from the
treasurer OF III Paso county.
The charge against the county treas
urer was that the county funds were
being kept In bank and that no inter-
est Is being paid 10 the county.
The jury states: "Some OF the Of
fenses that we have investigated

OF the Irregularities the polls AFFORD n

LAND COMMISSIONERS VIEWS
ON IRRIGATION RESERVOIRS

that the plan Of making general fund,
and appOrtioning 1t among the several
arid states would meet opposition, or
rather lack of support of many west
ern states, particularly those whose
sales of public lands are large, for
they would be called upon to divide
with the less progressive states, and
this they would not do.
The commissioner suggests that n
general fund might be created, and
from this reservoir should be first
built in the state which contributes the
most; then in turn the second largest
contributor should have reservoir.
and so on in turn until the least should
have been supplied. This plan, how
ever, will have its opponents. and is
mainly defective for the reason that it
affords relief last to the states needing
irrigation the most.
Returning to the bill in question,
however, the commissioner approves
the plan of giving the secretary Of the
interior general supervision over the
entire reservoir scheme, and thinks the
lands to be included in Il reservoir
should he segregated from entry as
soon as the application is filed.
One of the vital provisions of the
bill, that permitting the sale to the
actual consumers of the completed
works, including reservoir and canals,
meets with. Commissioner Hermann's
complete disapproval and he will Wig
orously oppose any such provision in n
bill that is referred to him for report.
He points out that such n law would
permit the few original consumers to
gain control of the system, and gives
into the hands of few men the con-
troll Of n system that is in time bound
TO spread; in other words, the few orig
inal users of the water, when they
own the system. can fix such rates as
they choose, and make their exactions
on all farmers below, who may after
ward desire to use this water. In n
word, 1t is legislating, in his opinion,
In favor of corporation, in effect. IL
not in name, and this he does not ap-
prove. He believes that reservoirs
should be constructed by the general
government and always owned and
controlled by the general government,
thereby avoiding not only individual
conflicts, but the conflicts between
states as to the use of certain waters.

New York, July To-day was the
hottest July 1st on record. At $40 p. IN.
the thermometer at the weather bureau
reached ninety-eight degrees, one de-
gree hotter than yesterday. The rec
ords show that In the thirty years pre-
ceding on only two days in all that
period has n higher temperature been
reached. These were July o, 1876, and
July ., 1898. On these days the ther-
mometer reached ninety.nine degrees.
The percentage Of humidity to-day was
only forty-elght.
After 3;l5 p. M. decline began until
at o y. III. the thermometer registered
ninety-two.
In the early morning hours there was
what might be termed n light breeze
blowing, but during the early part of
the afternoon the breeze died away,
and the city was baking in torrid heat.
The suffering In the city, particularly
in the crowded tenement house dis
tricts, was most intense. As the day
grew the deaths and prostratlons in
creased and. although provision was
made In all the hospitals for this emer-
gency, the authorities were scarcely
able TO cope with the great tax made on
their resources.
Between the hours OF . n. m. to-day
and midnight there were fifty-seven
deaths and lil prostratlons in the Dor.
ouchs OF Manhattan and the Bronx.
From midnight last night until o
o'clock tonight two deaths and thirty
six prostratlons had been reported in
Brooklyn.
There were so many ambulance calls
that the police were called on TO sup
ply patrol wagons. and every ambu-
lance did double duty In responding TO
calls.

hospitals in cabs and carriages, and
