SENATOR MITcHELL's NOTICE.

Senator Mitchell of Oregon has noti-
fed Congress that not another River
and Harbor bill shall pass unless it
carries an appropriation for construct
ing irrigation plants and opening irri-
CATION canals in the arid West. 1t
would be interesting to know how
much support the Senator has for this
notification. Is he prepared to say
that the West has formed a combina-
ton that will force the East and the
South to saddle the irrigation scheme
on the governmental scheme that
means an outlay, in all probability,
of a thousand million dollars? The
chances are that the notice has very
little support. There is a strong SEN
timent in Congress and out of it
against committing the government
to this scheme, the practicability of
which has not yet been satisfactorily
established.
Besides, there is plenty of unoccu-
pied land vet Here in the South there
are millions of acres just as good as
the Western arid lands would be If
supplied with water. When all of the
vacant lands are taken up, and the
population becomes crowded. it will be
time enough to talk about retaining
the arid lands.
And there is a suspicion that the
arid land scheme is being promoted
by capitalists who propose to increase
their fortunes by either selling out the
water rights they now control to the
government or to control other water
rights through the improvements
which it is proposed the government
shall make. And then there would
also be big field for speculation in
arid lands.
We doubt if the Middle West is deep
ly interested in this arid land scheme.
The farmers of that section feel they
now have all the competition they can
contend with and make a living. That
is certainly the feeling among the far
mers of the East All things consider
ed. it is probable that Senator Mitch
ell will find the task of blocking the
passage of the next River and Harbor
bill, if it does not carry an appropria-
ton for the irrigation of arid Vest
ern lands, much more difficult one
than he now things it will be.

The fishermen of the country viii
probably with unanimity vote Judge
Blunt of Suffolk, Va, gentleman,
fisherman and judge of good bait"
The judge had before him the other
day a man of the name of Airline,
charged with having feloniously shot
three times at a man of the name of
Hill. According to the prosecution Hill
was in danger of his life from Arline's
shots. The testimony developed that
the defendant, Airline, was fishing at
a favorite spot; spot where the finny
tribe, while numerous, are sophisti-
Gated, requiring skill and patience for
their hooking and landing. In the
midst of Arline's fishing. at that most
interesting and critical moment when
the fish is just about to place his full
confidence in the seductive hook, Hill
came upon the scene and by his bois-
trous and unseemly conduct scared the
fish away In the heat of his righte-
GUS Indignation Airline fired a shot to-
wards Hill with a small pistol. Hill
ran, and Airline fired twice more, one
bullet taking effect in the broadcast part
of the fugitive's anatomy. Judge Blunt
held that the provocation justified the
shooting and discharged the defendant.

BEHIND THE
FLYING MOTORS.

OF course it is hazardous for a man
to follow single motor, but to permit
four to be on the track at the same
time would be little short of criminal.
The men who follow the motors at a
rate of speed attained only by a loco
motive understand and realize that
each. time they go on the track they
take their lives in their own hands
but not one, would think of riding with
more than three motors moving at the
same time. ,..e
The men who are already here are
in fine trim and will work out again
this morning. They spent considerable
time on the track yesterday and came
to the city last night for the Zeigler-
Douglas fight. The Swede and Silent
Charlie" Turville were in Zeigler's cor
ner. The Swede is confident that he
will smash Burroughs mile record of
1:21 S-5 when he opens up Callihan's
fast motor tonight. Lawson is GER
tain that he will be able to clip at least
a second from the record, although he
understands that he will have to
move at a breakneck speed to do so.
Prince will start the races promptly
at O'Clock and there will be no waits
of any sort This has been decided
upon so that the patrons of the Coli
scum can return home at g. reasonable
hour. The fact that Nelson has never
been seen in Savannah and has a ma
tional reputation, makes it certain that
the attendance tonight will be eXcep-
tionally large.
Prince will be on hand to tell his
patrons what will happen next. He has
a happy faculty for doing these things
and cannot be initiated.

GUARDS ANNUAL MATCH.

Programme Arranged Last Night for
the Shoot Thanksgiving Day.
At a meeting of the officers of the Sa-
3vannah Volunteer Guards battalion,
= held at the residence of Maj. w. w.
Williamson last night, plans were dis
cussed and arrangements made for the
annual rifle contest of the battalion.
This contest will be held on Thanks
giving Day, beginning in the morning
at o'clock.
The contests heretofore have always
been held on Feb. %, but owing to the
fact that the battalion went to Charles
ton on that day this year, and no
match was shot, and to the additional
fact that the officers are DESTROYS OF ar
ranging another programme for that
date next year, it was decided to holu
the shoot on a different date.
1t was decided at the meeting last
night to offer quite a number of prizes
in the various classes. While the pro-
gramme was not arranged in detail,
it was determined to have battalion,
company and individual matches, ana
to offer such prizes as would induce
the men to practice, so that some good
scores would be made in the coming
shoot.
Those present at the meeting last
night were Maj. w. w. Williamson,
Capt. w. G. Austin, inspector of rlf1e
practice. and Captains James M
Rogers. w. B. Stephens, H. e. Wilson
and w L. Pritchard. The meeting
& was quite lengthy. The programme
arranged for the shoot will be the most
elaborate the battalion has ever had, II
being the desire of the officers to Seep
alive the interest engendered by the IN

and as Douglas still stood with his
hands on the ropes, waiting to speak,
Jenkins declared that the bout had
been won by Zeigler.
Then there was a good deal of a
rumpus, during which Zeigler attempt

ally, the crowd, seeing there was moth
ing doing in the f1stic line, unless
there should be few impromptu bouts
among those of the spectators who had
opposite views and were willing to
maintain them, started to leave, when
Zeigler announced that if Douglas
thinks he can whip him he will put up

be arranged. After a pause he stated,
