1.-The health of the army has shown
continued improvement The deaths
from all causes during the calendar
year 1901 amounted to 1894 per thous-
and Of mean strength as, against 22.H
per thousand of mean strength during
the calendar year 1900. This large re-
duction of death rate was in q great
measure due to improved conditions in
the Philippines. =
The principal military events Of the
past year have been the end OF the
military occupation OF Cuba and the
end of the insurrection In the Philip

cient time had not elapsed to give the
law fair trial. and that the observa-
tion and report of its working would
be continued during the ensuing year.
"A great number Of additional re-
ports have now been received. and
they confirm the impression produced
by the earlier reports. am convinced
that the general effect Of prohibiting
the use of beer and light wines within
the limited area of the army post is to
lead the enlisted men to go out Of the
poet to frequent vile resorts which
cluster in the neighborhood. to drink
bad whisky to excess. and to associate
intimately with abandoned men and
more abandoned women; and the op-
Grafton Of the law is to increase drunk
enness, disease of the most loathsome
kind, insubordination and desertion,
and moral and physical degeneration"

ing the Injunction method of getting
water. which he calls trick" the su-
perintendent says:
..It Is becoming understood that the
value of water for irrigation is very
much above the price that has been
set upon 1t, consequently the very best
legal talent Is being employed to se-
cure the right to use the water by jun
ior appropriations, very often to the In
jury Of older and senior appropriations.
A favorable procedure in this line of
action is In obtaining the issuance
from the county courts Of . writ
of temporary injunction, restraining
the officers Of the irrigation depart
ment from enforcing the laws made
and provided for the proper distribu-
ton of water for irrigation purposes.
Especially is this true where the inter-
ests Of one Irrigation district come into
CONFLICT with those OF another.

barrassed In the performance of its
duties by this trick, for 1t Is trick.

Let the People Vote.

Communicated l.
Editor Posi- In order to have de-
finite time for the holding of the Re-
publican primary election, the people
should have an opportunity to vote on
the question at the primary to be held
Feb. Is, 1902. would suggest that the
committee submit the first or second
Saturday of June of each year, so that
there is no opportunity to let few
schemng politicians set the day to suit
their pernicious schemes. If the day
becomes permanent fixture, every
man knows when to expect the prim-
ary. The Delegate election can be had
whenever necessary to be chosen in
time for the state convention.
Al this early date, no one knows who
will be candidates for state offices, and
many new issues may arise before the
state convention, upon which the peo-
pie should have an opportunity to eX-
press their choice. For these reasons,
the people would like to have IA day
fixed by themselves, so that every per-
son would know for certainty, at all
times, when the primary Is to he held.
We hope to see the committee take
some action Saturday looking to the
settlement of this question for all time
