"On October Is. 1902, the regular es-

Insurance Fraud Prevented.

Denver, Nov. 30.-A Grand Junction
dispatch to the Republican yesterday
says:
On September "a 1901, the halfway
house between this city and Delta was
burned to the ground. 1t was sup
posed that the body Of Il. G. Angel,
the owner and manager, was con-
sumed In the fire. He carried a large
insurance In both the Modern Wood
men and the Woodmen of the World.
Both orders contested the policies and
refused to pay because there was
ground for thinking that Angel had
not died. The wife of Angel removed
to this city and conducted a boarding
house.
Last night Angel returned from
California. where he claims that he
has been for more than q year. II is

POSTMASTER GENERAL WOULD
EXTEND RURAL FREE DELIVERY

is based on equity and reason, that the
space which now intervenes between
city and rural service should be dimin-
ished by extending free delivery to
towns of not fewer than 5000 popula-
ton. or not less than $1,000 gross postal
receipts.
Under existing conditions there is
inequality and injustice in the compen-
sation of substitute letter carriers in
free delivery cities. They pass a civil
provide themselves with uniforms. In
the larger cities they report daily for
duty; in the smaller towns they are re-
Quired to remain within reach of the Of
flee, subject to call. They constitute q
reserve force, always ready to meet an
emergency. Yet, outside of a nominal
salary of 81 per annum, they have no
fixed compensation. Their earnings
are irregular and uncertain. depending
upon the number of days they are
called into temporary service as sub
stitutes and upon the fees they receive
for carrying special delivery letters.
1t is urged that the government guar
antee to each substitute letter carrier
in the larger cities. where the regular
carriers receive $1,000 year salary.
a compensation of at least $50 per
month, and in the smaller cities, where
the regular pay is $3.50 a year, a COM
pensation of at least $25 per month.
This plan, if adopted, will insure to
each reserve carrier the certainty of a
fixed living income, and is not likely to
involve the government in any consid-
cradle expense"

DENOUNCED BY
IRRIGATION SUPERINTENDENT

an agreed case covering this question:
Concerning some other abuses which
flourish under present methods the su-
perintendent says: 1.-THE right Of old
canals to extend and enlarge their ca
pacity so as to enable them to appro-
pirate and take from the streams the
full amount of water decreed to them
of a date twenty or thirty years ago,
and apply such water to n territory
recently brought under cultivation;
also the right to sell and transfer to
new bitches the surplus portion of de-
crees granted to old bitches, but never
appropriated and used by them, to the
injury of intermediate appropriations,
are questions which should be settled,
so that the old appropriations and pros
pective investors in irrigation enter
prises may know on what ground they
stand in this line"
The superintendent calls attention to
the value of storage reservoirs as
again demonstrated during the past
drouth season, when the only sections
of the state where full crops We're
raised were those where the reservoir
system was in operation.
The report shows length of bitches
| in division No. of 3,105.01 miles. The
maximum capacity of bitches and wa
ter carried is 19,26771 cubic feet per
second of time. The highest number
of days water was carried was 81.

Washington, ID. c., April 23.-Mr.

consideration of the statehood bill.
The speaker was disposed q be con

to find time to debate the bill. Next
week, he said, he would be willing to
grant the committee two whole days

Mr. Knox told the speaker he did
not require two days. One, he thought.
would be enough.
No" said the speaker. "a hard
fight will be made on the bill, and
you will need two days for its CON
sideration."
1t was then agreed to take the bill
up next week under rule of the
house, if brought in; without il. II
