Curious Effect of Irrigation.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
1t is a well known fact that the large
canals and most of the smaller ones
along Salt river, in Arizona take out all
of the normal flow of the water in this
river, leaving the channel dry Immediate
ly below the headgates of the canals
This condition of the river bed continues
sometimes for many miles, and then wa
ter again appears in it, increasing in
quantity until it becomes great enough
to be again diverted into another canal,
when the same conditions OF the channel
again obtain. Similar conditions exist
along the ella river. as along many other
rivers of the arid region where irrigation
Is practiced. For several years the
United States photographic office has
been making Investigations and collecting
data In different parts of the arid re-
gon for the purpose Of determining the
relation between the quantity of water
diverted from the channels and the
amount returning to the streams by seep-
age. 1t is now believed that large por-
ton, IL not all, of the water that ap-
pears in the river channels below points
where all the water has been diverted
for irrigation purposes is drainage water
from the irrigated lands.

Uncle Sam now has an aviary Of his
own where he is breeding brown pelcans.
The reservation was acquired by the gov
eminent several weeks ago, but nothing
was said about it, as visitors were not
wanted.
Pelican Island. on the east coast OF
Florida in Indian river. has long been
the home of the brown pelican and has
been overrun by hunters. 1t is the only
place on the east coast where the birds
breed in colonies, and as the slaughter
almost equaled the increase there was
danger of the species becoming extinct.
So Secretary Wilson secured an order
making 1t a government reservation. APP
pointed a warden and gave him instruc-
lions that no one should be allowed to
land on the island without an order from
the secretary of agriculture.
After the birds leave the island they
are protected by the game laws of Flor
ida. The birds for years have been sought
for their beautiful plumage for feminine
decoration. The brown pelican is found
only on the coast of Florida.

CHICAGO HOTELS
ARE FIGHTING WELL
ATTEMPTS OF THE STRIKERS TO
ENLIST TRANSFERS, ENGINEERS
AND FlREMEN FAlL-cooKS
AND WALTERS LEFT ALONE.

Chicago, June 13.--The second day of
the strike of the hotel and restaurant
employees in twenty-six of the hotels
brought assertions from the ranks of the
unions and increased determination in
the minds of the hotel owners to resist
what they term the arbitrariness of the
striking employees.
Attempts of the strike leaders to enlist
the transfers, engineers and fremen
failed.
The strike directors sought first to enlist
the sympathy of the national Transfers
union and when no official sympathetic
strike order could be secured, the picSets
of the cooks and walters took the matter
in their own hands and tried to stop the
delivery of coal and other supplies.
AS soon as these tactics were made
known at the Transfers union 100 rival
pickets were scattered through the
downtown district to combat the efforts
of the strikers and to assure the delivery
of hotel supplies. Before the end of the
day the cooks and walters abandoned
hope of support from other unions.
A canvass of the hotels where strikes
have occurred shows that most of them
are in fair working condition. Against a
total of 25l7 employees who have gone out.
the hotels, in the aggregate, have a work
ing force of 1852. The Hyde park hotels
are in the worst condition but all of the
downtown places are fairly well equipped
and are confident that by Monday night
they will have a fun working force.

KID BROAD KNOCKED
OUT BY THE MEXICAN
HERRERA HAS THINGS HIS OWN
WAY AND PUNCHES THE CALL
FoRNlA BOY WITH EAsE-FouR
ROUNDS ENOUGH.

Butte Mont, June 13-Kid Broad of
Cleveland, was knocked out in the fourth
round tonight by Aurelie Herrera. of
Bakersfield, Cal. Broad was the agrees
sor from the start until the fourth round.
The Mexicans peculiar guard and crouch
was a puzzle to the Cleveland lad, who
was unable to land an effective blow.
In the first round both men spared to
feel each other out. In the second Broad
missed several jabs and landed only once
on kidneys. The Mexican played wait
ing game, while Broad was eager to rush
matters. In mix up Broad landed an up
percut on the Mexican, but that was the
last blow he scored.
Herrera let out a right swing in the
third round that made Broad more eau
tious. In the fourth round the Mexican
bore in closely and kept himself well
protected from Broad's rushes. The latter
was pounding away at Herreras gloves
and arms. The Mexican then cut loose
and with one of his right swings caught
the Cleveland boy squarely on the jaw
and noored him. Broad was completely
dazed while the Mexican danced around
him. Broad took the count and then got
up staggering, when Herrera was ON him
like q tiger, and with hard smash on
the Jaw Broad went down again
He got on his feet before the count,
however, and Herrera gave him another
hard left jolt on the jaw and Broad was
out for keeps. He remained out seven
second after the count and had to be car
ried to his corner.
Herrera did not receive a mark. Hall
a dozen challenges to fight the winner
were received, including one from Nc
Govern. This was Broad's 106th fight and
the first time he was ever knocked out

Topeka, Kan, June 13.--Governor Bailey
tonight gave to the Associated Press the
following reply to Pension Commissioner
Ware regarding the needs of Kansas flood
sufferers:
Il regret more than [ can tell that the
word has gone forth that we need no
more aid from outside the state for our
people who have suffered from the recent
floods and especially that this has been
proclaimed by any one seeming to be a
representative Kansasan.
Visited Stricken District.
within the past week l have visited
the stricken district. including Kiel. Ar
gentine. North Topeka and the fertile
valley between Topeka and Kansas City,
and from what 1 saw and heard the
calamity that has befallen our state is
more appalling than was feared before
the waters reeeded, and while the loss of
life was less, yet the property loss and
suffering is many times greater than was
entailed by the Galveston disaster.
1--WE contributed generously to the relief
of Johnstown and Charleston in money,
clothes and food supplies. and we sent
nearly 100000 to the flood sufferers at
Galveston, and this was done by the con-
ditions that appealed to our charity and
our humanity.
Thirty Thousand Homeless.
To-day Kansas finds more than 10000
of her people practically homeless from
no fault of their own, and one of her
fertile valleys, representing an area 200
miles long and five miles wide, that but
a few days ago was covered by happy
homes and filled with promise, is now a
watery waste.
I'm view of all these facts l wish to say
to the charitably inclined everywhere,
your contributions will be welcomed;
they are needed to relieve the necessi-
ties of the hour and every dollar will
be usd to relieve the sufferings of those
who are deserving and needy"
