international Irrigation Scheme

Congress has been asked to ap-
prOprIate $50, 900, to be come avail
able when a like amount is appro-
priatsd by Mexico, for prelimin-
ary survey of the Ri5 GraDde val
ley, with a view OF locating dams
and sites for reservoirs, and of as
certaining the cost of their con-
struction. in order to inaugurate a
system Of irrigation in this valley.
The Laredo Times, commenting on
the magnitude and Importance Of
the scheme contemplated, quotes
Hon. j. o. Nicholson, the promi
nent lawyer of that city, in explaua-
tion of the project, as follows:
"The idea promulgated" says
MIR. Nicholson, els to build a num-
Der OF dams or weirs and from
these construct canals from the
river to the plateaus on each side

Some inventive genius has found a
new use for cool air, and the patrons
of downtown barber shop are enjoy
ing the fruits of his discovery. The
invention is nothing less than the sup
plying of cool air to those who are in
the BARRIERS chair, and during the heat
ed summer months BARRIERS chairs will
probably become well-patronized re-
sorts. The air is compressed into lit
tie tank by a small pump that is run
by a hydrant stream. From the tank
a pipe runs along the shelf on which
is kept the supply of tonsorial neces-
stiles. In front Of each chair tap is
made and from this runs flexible
tube to which is attached a small noz-
zle that is controlled by a pressure of
the fingers and closes automatically
when tie pressure is released. When
you are warm go to the barber shop
and you can keep yourself cool while
being shaved incidentally bottles,
with receptacles to fit the end of the
nozzle, in which is kept the bay rum,
witch hazel, and other tonics, are used,
the air taking the place of the old bulb
arrangement to spray the tonic. In the
barber shop mentioned the air is
pumped from the ice house, and is
mighty refreshing. -Pittsburg Times.

THE PORTO RiCAN ELECTIONS.

Some time ago reports came from
Porto Rico, TO the effect that the island
had been the scene Of riots previous
10 the election, and number OF pa
ners in this country commented sarcas-
tcally on the ease with which the
islanders adopted American methods
The reports are now coutradicted by
Prof. Samuel NJ. Lindsay, Of the com
mission OF education in Porto Rico, He
claims that the reports were very much
exaggerated, and this is not difficult to
believe, since the fact is that n good
many reports would never appear
worth while publishing at all, except
for the eaaegerations with which they
are embellished.
Professor Lindsay admits that there
was great excitement and disorder In
certain places on the first registration
day, but. he adds. there was not at
any time danger Of disturbances with
which the civil government and police
could not deal effectually AS for the
election itself, Professor Lindsay says
It passed remarkably well. The insu-
lar police showed themselves efficient
and In every district OF the island the
voting was conducted in a highly cred
table manner-both Republicans and
Federals going peaceably TO the polls
This sets the Porto Ricans right. II
the excitement and disorders noted
were no greater than are seen in the
United States at times, when elections
are held. there can be no reasonable
cause Of complaint Of the status OF the
islanders. Some excitement may even
be preferable to the stiffness Of apathy,
for II proves that the boon Of self-gov-
eminent Is appreciated. The very ex-
element shows that interest is taken
In the election. Were government
not appreciated, there would be no In
terest in the ballotlng and no excite
ment.

IN northern and central California are

in the last year the number Of com
munlCants had been increased by l-S2i,
and that the Presbyterinns of the Pa
ciac Slope believed that the time was
ripe for a great revival and spread OF
Preshyterianism.
The spokesman for the Methodists
did not take quite as hopeful a view
but he thought that Methodlsm, on the
whole, is advancing.
The Congregationalist minister adj
mitted that his denomination was not
making satisfactory progress In Cali
fornia. He said It was not gaining In
membership az It had In years pastand
that the amount given In benevolent
contributions had decreased He be-
lieyed the proposed federation was in
