4 Room. BUT NO MIRACLE.

At not fnfrequent intervals for many years
The Tribune has ventured TO suggest to the
Police Department that If at the Intersections
of crowded thoroughfares the conflicting
streams of traffic were compelled to flow al
ternately there would be no complicated tan
giles to unravel and the manifold miseries which
they produce would be relieved. Only few
weeks ago. when Deputy Commissioner Piper
was reported to have said in London that the
superior mana cement OF street traffic there was
chiefly owing to the rules regarding the loading
and unloading Of trucks, we referred again to
the blockaded crossings Of New-York and the
obvious proprietT OF adopting hondon's remedy
for that nuisance.
We feel bound to add that before that edition
of The Tribune could have reached England
Captain Piper had departed, and we have no
means Of knowing that he has studiousiy
examined the back numbers of this paper
since his return. However that may be, the
method of preventing snarls which Is en-
ploy6d in London was applied at Broadway
and Canalst. on Tuesday with delightful re-
suits. It Is true that truckmen, in their aston
ishment at seeing order evolved out OF chaos,
were not rendered speechless, but, on the con-
trary made the unwonted spectacle an occasion
for indulgence in even hotter expletives than
they have been accustomed to solace themselves

moved freely when they were permitted to
move at all, the streetcars made good time,
pedestrians went their several ways in peace
and safety, Joy prevailed, and, for aught we
know, strong men wept in the exuberance Of
their emotions.
We have high respect for Captain Piper,
but If anybody halls him as a heaven born
genius because Of this meritorious exercise Of
common sense it will be our duty to protest.
He merely did at one point what ought to
have been done at many points long years ago
and ever since. The wonderful thing is that
the police have never until now seen the rem
edy which has been staring them in the face
all the time. In a situation which they might
easily have controlled they have been as
gloomy as were the walrus and the carpenter

Only one moral can be properly drawn from
the fatal accident on the Brooklyn elevated
road yesterday. When the gate was closed the
attempt should not have been made to board the
train even though the latter hal not started.
Delay is tantalizing, but 1t must not be forgot
ten that the instructions given to railway EN-
ployes in this matter are really drafted in the
interest OF the travelling public. Mr.. Chase was
really the victim OF his own folly. All the same,

General Frank Baldwin. commander

Roosevelt fvm Laramie to Cheyenne.
which that accomplished horseman
pronounced the best horse he had ever
ridden, says the Denver Republican.
General BALDWIN holds the same opin-
ion after riding him 100 miles In less
than six days In an unsettled country
without trails, and up the sides Of
seemingly impossible mountains. All
this was done on a practice march

thirty men had to hold the wagon in
the train with ropes as well as the
sixteen mules necessary to make the
trip. The smallest days work was
twenty-seven miles and the greatest
was forty-fve miles. The entire dis
lance covered was 100 miles, and II
was done in five days and a half, lack
ing two hours.
Il wanted to make a tour Of the
reservation" said General Baldwin.
with a view of looking into its posi-
bilities for army maneuvers. It is a
beautiful country and ideal for the
purpose we might require. There Is
plenty of hay end grain. In fact, we
did not have to carry any forage with
us at all, and when we camped we
were able to provide ourselves with
all the fresh meat and vegetables we
wanted, excepting on one night when
we we're in the mountains. l also
wanted to show the men and the
younger officers that there is no such
thing in the army as the impossible.
The most difficult march that we had
a cutoff that necessitated going
right up the side of the mountain.
There were no trails, and we had to
make a road by tumbling rocks and
trees from the path, and in some cases
cutting our way through. The wagon
had to be hauled by sixteen mules
once or twice. and thirty of the troop
ers had to hold the vehicle and the
mules in place with ropes.
Give me the American soldier ev-
cry time said the veteran, for
pluck, endurance and intelligence.
That was as tough a trip as has been
made, probably, and on the last day
we marched f~orty-fve miles, into Lar

in his saddle, happy and content, hale

city is likely to be the scene of the
first great government dam-the out
come Of the policy and resolutions,
rigidly adhered to by every succeed
ing irrigation congress, in spite of bit
ter fights for cession of the arid lands
toNthe several states.
The sixth congress was held at Lin
coin, Neb.; the seventh at Cheyenne,
Wye; the eighth at Missoula, Mont.
the ninth, the first big congress, at
Chicago, H., and the tenth at Colorado
Springs, Colo.
The Chicago congress had the effect
of bringing the irrigation discussion
into the East and showing its national
aspect-that any great Improvement
in any western section would have a
reflex benefit in the eastern part Of
the country and that the agricultural
development in the West would mean
an increased market for the products
of eastern manufacturers.
Then came a surprisingly strong
fight by the irrigation forces in the
short session Of the seth Congress,
followed by President Roosevelt's ac-
tive championship Of the cause and
the passage of the irrigation lax in

Make the Desert Bloom.

The first National Irrigation Con
gress was held at Salt Lake City in
1891, the home of the first example Of
American irrigation by the Anglo
Saxon race-Mormon irrigation forty
four years before. In 1891 about three
and one-half million acres were under
irrigation in the arid regions. all
through private enterprise and coop
erative effort. To-day there are nearly
eight million acres irrigated, and the
West stands at the threshold of a
mighty development through v
ment irrigation. There are now if-
teen million dollars in the United
States treasury awaiting expenditure
for the construction of great dams and
canals in the Western states and ter
ritories.
The coming irrigation congress will
be the eleventh convention OF that
body and will meet in Ogden, Utah,
September Is next.
The intermediate congresses have
been held at various points through
out the arid region. The second con-
gress was held at Los Angeles mt
was attended by representatives from
Great Britain, Canada, Australia, In
dia, Russia, France, Mexico and Peru.
The third irrigation congress met at
Denver. the fourth at Albuquerque, N.
NJ, and the fifth at Phoenix, Arizona.
