Fred Downing, well known here
as a clever short stop, writes from
Reno that considerable interest il
being manifested in the game in
Nevada's metropolis and that steps
are being taken there to form q
team with which to compete fol
the State championship and later
to meet the best semi-professional
teams of California Bulletin.

1t is said that Frank Hammond

THE IRRIGATION
y BILL

The following from the pen Of
ALI Chartz throws considerable
light upon the irrigation bill, now
pending in the Legislature:
The Legislature has been thrown
into a sort of spasm over a bill in
tended to aid and assist the gen.
eral government to carry out the
provisions of the so-called New
lands Irrigation bill. As the
members begin to recover from
this condition their first inquiry
will probably be to what extent
will vested water rights be con-
served or affected by the proposed
measure to give the control over
their property to officers of the
general government? Under the
present order of things, the farm
ers know that they q go to their
head-gates and turn in such
amount of water as may have been
decreed to them by order of Court,
after years Of costly litigation, if
they require that much, and they
can do that with out the consent
of any other nation" They fur
Their know that they can turn,
within their vested rights, as
much as they deem they require
for the proper and speedy irriga-
ton OF the lands, and they don't
know how much the blue-coated.
brass-buttoned officer may deem
Is necessary and suficientfor such
irrigation, and.in short don't know
how arbitrarily he may exercise
his authority. and don't know how
soon they may be forced to 60 into
Court to re-ascertain their rights
under the new law, or to define
the power of the officer. In favor
of the bill it is urged that the far
mers must be patriotic and meet
the government halfway, and help
to make the deserts blossom as the
rose, and that very little can be &C.
complished by the general gov
eminent without such Legislation
on the part of the States. 1t
might be answered that water is
property, worth money. The
farmers are the owners thereof.
Why docs not the general govern
ment, in order to attain its object
to make the deserts blossom go to
the millionaires, made such by
direct legislation of the govern
ment, and say to them, 1--WE want
to make the desert blossom; give
us some money!" Would that be
any different from saying to the
farmers, owners of an usufructuary
use of water, worth dollars and
cents, I'VE want to make the des-
erts blossom; give us some Of your
vested rights and privilegesf As
the law now stands, if an individ-
ual wants to build a reservoir he
may do 30, and store water and
turn it into any stream or channel
and mingle it with the waters
thereof, and divert a similar GUAM
tity, less natural loss by evapora-
tion and seepage, at any point
down the stream. The govern
ment can do the same thing

Agood citizen is he who express
es faith in the virtue of the town
he lives in, and who is always talk
ing of its advantages as a place of
residence. Strangers fight shy of
silurians, and never locate in a
place the inhabitants of which

can't help themselves, rather than
for choice and a laudable desire OF
lettering their condition by help

And found that ! was in great need
of a broom,
So | called to my old black coon
And told her to run to the store
And bring me one of ]. E. IS brooms,
And to be in great haste for there
was no time to waste,
AS the dirt was half way up to my
waist.
So on she went almost half bent
And soon returned with the instrd-
ment.
And cleaning each room as we went
We found it to be the best on the
continent.
When we were through I remarked
that this would do,
But she said "no, / intend to have
