THE CABINET Mesa
Condition d the Wafer Supply At the
Present Time.

Tho Garnst reservoir bss now sbont
IA feet of water at tho conduit, which
is estimated will give the Garnet tnesa
ono more good irrigat on this summer.
II is the intention OF the company to %
strengthen tbe dam this fall that four
feet more water can be stored next vim
ter, or about % feet at the outlet. Thn
will give the mesa people three or fo"r
good irrigstions by drawing oil tho water
out. But taking out all OF the water u
not what the company want TO do unlsss
under stress OF necessity. They propose
in time to stock The lake With somo good
varieties Of food fish such a. will thrive
10 lskes. making it both hunting and
fishing resort. This spring the water at
the outlet showed a depth OF nineteen
feet, all that was th ought advisable to
put 10 on account OF the newness Il The
dam. The banks have been thoroughly
soaked up and settled. and by building
up some the reservoir. it 10 estimated.
will hold some four feet more water
With perfect safety.
Plenty Of water goes to waste duripg
the winter months TO fill eevesal rsssr-
voirs the size ut this one with water for
early Irrigation, and during tho hood
time IN May and june the pond can be
filled to the top for late summer use.
just above the present reservoir the
company own another site that whom
built can bs used % reserve in cases OF
need. aud besides this upper one can b.
used to irrigsts great deal OF what 10
known as Poverty flats and part Of The
Peach valley country. This upper res
ervoir will probably be built in the fu-
ture by the company as they can.
Besides these sources OF water storage.
a few OF the ranchmen on the Garrett
mesa own about q tenth OF the new
ditch nov being brought over Cimar-
ION hill, which will give the mesa con-
siderable more water for use during the
latter part OF the summer.
Altogether it looks as IL the Garnet
mesa people have about solved the water
problem for themselves 20 Tar as their
own necessities 60. Wien the Gunni
son tunnel project 10 pushed 10 compile
ton nd water brought over from that
source there will be much less Lecessity
for going to heavy expense for water
storage than there now is. but until .
supply can be oh taired from this source
there will be heavy shortage in tho
Unconpshgre every year. aud farming
in the valley will have many drawbacks.

LABOR RENEWS MUTTERlNGS
Clouds Again Appear over Boston ana
Further Trouble May he
Precipitntcd.

BOSTON, March 16.-Yesterday's confer
ences cleared the atmosphere Of 30 many
Of the perplexing questions arising out OF
the great Industrial strike OF the last
week, and apparently rendered q peaceful
termination so certain, hat labofmen and
all who have figured In the movement we're
about ready to secure relaxation, which
had been impossible since the strike was
~inaugurated.
Tonight, however, there are clouds on the
horison, md indications are not lacking
that matters by no means are running
smoothly. The strikers, particularly out
side the longshoremen and team drivers,
are satisfied with the outlook, as far as
present conditions are concerned. but the
other workmen seem to have grievances
which battle all attempts at a compromise.
The i~ohgshoremen are most bitter toward
the Metropolitan railroad line, which will
take back only a few Of the old men, and
the Clyde line, which will not discharge
the new men to give places to the old. They
held a stormy meeting tonight, in which
many bitter things were said Of their for
mer employers.
President Ryan Of the Longshoremen's
union. stated after the meeting that unless
matters are adjusted soon they were pre-
pared to tie up the business Of the COM
pany along the seaboard. The situation IL
so strained tonight that D. j. o'Keefe,
president Of the International Longshore-
mems union, who Is now in Cleveland. has
been asked to come to Boston and adjust
the trouble.
There are still 1853 expressmen who have
not yet been able to secure their old po-
%sitions, and this has aroused q strong feel
ing against the companies.
CLEVELAND, March 16.-President d. J.
o'Keefe Of the 'Lonsshoremen's National
union, was made acquainted with the stu
alton among the longshoremen at Boston
this morning. He said he had nothing to
say at present about the matter and that
he would probably be in Cleveland this
week or longer fixing the scale for naviga-
tion with the dock managers OF Lake Erie
ports.

CHICAGO. March 16.-Representatives OF

spect 10 Ex-Governor John p. Altgeld, who
was buried in Graceland cemetery. In ac-
cordance Wit the wishes Of Mrs. Altgeld,
there was no military display. For two
hours In the morning, while the casket was
unsealed, a steady stream OF people viewed
the body as II lay in state in the public
library. Along the line OF march from the
library to Lincoln park the streets were
crowded with men. women and children.
T funeral procession, which started at
II o'clock. was headed by a platoon Of po-
lice. The funeral car, with its escort of
active and honorary pallbearers, was fol-
lowed by carriages containing the mem
bers OF the family and after these came

Among those from outside the state who
attended the funeral was William J. Bryan.
who served as one Of the honorary pail
bearers.
At the grave. where several thousand
people had assembled Mr.. Bryan paid the
following tribute to Mr.. Altgeld: This
occasion. sad as 1t is, would be infinitely
more sad II we were committing to the
earth all that there was Of our departed
friend. But the better part OF him whom
we know as Aitgeld survives the grave.
AS the bird escaping from its cage, enters
q larger world, so the influence of the de-
ceased Is broadened rather than narrowed

are the possibilities under our institutions.
Born in another land. he has demonstrated

weeks and a half. the transcontlnental
freight bureau adjourned without de yes

held by the bureau and its work Is more
complete than ever before. Still, its on
GERS say, little was done that has any par

has been effected and every item has been
cleared from the docket. but the results Of
the meeting appear in a multitude OF de-
tails, rather than in important changes.

LONDON ANALYzES REVENUES
Finds Plenty Of Evidence that Beers
Penetrate BIockhouse Line
with Ease.

LONDON, March 16.-Lord K~itchener's
teiegraphic dispatch showing that the light
ing lasted much longer than was supposed
confirms the belief That the disaster to Gem
eral Methuen's. fnfSsS wac due to leaving
too large q gap between the front convoy
and the rear, and TO placing an insufficient
screen behind the rear guard, which
brought about a panic among the troops as
a result of the Boer onslaught.
Much resentment Is felt here that the
Beers wore British uniforms and badges
but satisfaction ie expressed at the latest
reports Of the AFFAIR, indicating that the
British troops behaved better than supposed
from the earlier reports.
From other dispatches 1t appears that
General Methuen was shot while riding to
bring up the Mounted troops and that his
horse was killed. After the surrender
General Delarey rode up and treated Gen.
eraI Methuen with the greatest courtesy
and consideration, ordering his return to
Klerksdorp under the care Of his own
nephew and a medical ofieer.
According to the Klerksdorp correspond
emit Of the Daily Mail, the burghets were
so angry at this that a party Of them went
out and brought General Methuen back.
General Delarey, however, -overruled the

erai Delarey's humanity and describes him

who brings no bitterness nor racial feeling
to his task, and who sternly represses exs
cesses on the part of the burghers."
Further evidence Of the ability Of the
Beers to penetrate the biockhouse lines IL
conveyed from Heilbrun. Orange River Col.
ony, which describes how Commandant
Mentz. the night Of March 10. crossed the
Heilbrun- Wolveheek line. One Boer adj
vanced. firing his rife. Two pickets be-
tween the b~lockhouses returned this IRE and
killed the Boer and his horse. The Beers
then cut the wire fence and drove in a
mob Of loose horses. which knocked down
200 yards Of the fence. Commandant Ments
then dashed through with over 800 Beers
and the pickets were powerless to stop the
overwhelming rush.
II is reported here that Mr.. Kruger has
sent 9 messenger to South Africa with dis
patches for General Schalkburgher. Mem
beers OF the encourage Of Mr.. Kruger assert
that the Beers now possess seventeen guns.
