Of philosophy of fatigue" says writer
in Anslee's. "Some speculators think
man became conscious because his in
tuitions were slowed up by exhaustion,

slowly and logically instead Of diyining
instantly, as it used to do. 1t was the
fall Of man. Wilder drearners have
even described the origin Of cosmic gas

come, as due to progressive fatigue Of
the ether, which is far more subtle and

THE "SANKERO."
Unhappy Lot of n Peculiar Figure OF
the Irrigation Country.

Unhappy Lot of n Peculiar Figure of
the Irrigation Country.
An eastern farmer coming to an irri-
gated valley finds everything as diff
ferent from his accustomed life as he
can we'll imagine. He must learn an
entirely new language Of farming and
q new set Of farming rules. His neigh
Dor greets him, not with the remark,
at looks like rain" but "Have you
heard when the water is coming In"
or "The bitches are low today He
learns to speak of miners inches and
acre feet of water, and he can soon
tell at glance whether a ditch is car
rying so or 100 miners inches Of wa
ter. He hears wise discussions Of
headgates, weirs, laterals and zanjes.
He finds that he is under" q certain
canal, which By and by will come to
seem to him like all inexorable fate.
He will very promptly make the ac-
quaintance of the king Of the irrigated
land, the zanjero, in Arizona called
"sankero," In California sometimes
shortened to "sanky," the water master
or ditch rider, a bronzed man in over
alls and sombrero, who drives about III
a two wheeled cart, with shovel and
a long crooked tined fork by his side
and precious keys in his pockets. He
is the yea and nay of the arid land, the
arbiter of fate, the dispenser Of good
and evil, to be blessed by turns and
cursed by turns and to receive both
with the utter unconcern Of small
god, for it is the zanjero who distrib-
utes the water. He opens the head
gate Of each farmers canal, and when
the water has run the necessary time
he shuts it down again and again locks
it securely. If the water Is short, he
sees that it is divided properly between
Smith and Jones and Brown, usually
with Smith and Jones and Brown
watching him like cats. 1t Is hard
place, that of zanjero in the valleys,
subject to accusations, temptations,
heartburnings; but, be it said to the
credit Of the American, there is many
a zanjero who Is universally respected
In his community as an honest man.
