FROM all indications and pc
rusal of the irrigation measure be-
fore the present Legislature, it
appears that the same error is be-
ing made as has been made by
previous Legislative bodies. The
lawmakers are trying to frame a
law to adjust the. present owner
ship of water. No law of this
kind can be passed which will not
entail endless litigation. What is
wanted is more water. Enough
water goes to waste every year
from every stream in the State to
irrigate every acre of tributary
land. What is needed is for the
government to go ahead and build
reservoirs to impound this water
at certain seasons so that it cannot
run to waste. The present State
laws give water consumers all the
latitude necessary for purposes Of
litigation.

TINE IRRIGATION BILL.

The following, from the pen of
Aft. Chartz, throws considerable
light upon the irrigation bill, now
pending in the Legislature:
The Legislature has been thrown
into sort of spasm over a bill in
tended to aid and assist the general
government to carry out the pro-
visions of the so-called Newlands
Irrigation Bill. AS the members
begin to recover f,om this con-
dition their first inquiry will prob
ably be to what extent will vested
water rights be conserved or affect
ed by the proposed measure ,tol
give the cont tfol Swer fheir,pro l1;1t !
to officers of the general govern
ment? Under the present order of
things, the farmer knows that they
can 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 ma
ton" They further know that
they can turn, within their vested
rights, as much as they deem they
require for the proper and speedy
irrigation of the lands, and they
don't know how much the blue
coated, brass-buttoned officer may
deem is necessary and sufficient
for 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 go 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 farmers must be patriotic and
meet the government halfway, and
help to make the deserts blossom
as the rose, and that very little
can be accomplished by the gen
eral government without such leg
islation on the part of the States.
1t might be answered that water is
property, worth money. The far
mers are the owners thereof. Why
does not the general government,
in order to attain its object to make
the deserts blossom go to the mil
lionaires, made such by direct leg
islation of the government, and
say to them, 1--WE want to make the
desert blossom; give us some
money" Would that be any diff
ferent from saying to farmers, own
ers of an usufructory use of water,
worth dollars and cents, 1--WE want
to make the deserts blossom; give
us some of your vested rights and
priveledges?' AS the law now
stands, if an Individual wants to
build reservoir he may do So
and store water and turn it into
any stream or channel and mingle
it with the waters thereof and di-
vert similar quantity, less natural
loss by evaporation and seepage,
at any point down the stream. The
government can do the same thing.

KENTUCKIAN KILLED
His Wife Detected Him in In
fidelity.
Stood Over Him After He Was Shot
and Wanted to- KIN
Him.
SHE EXPRESSES SATISFACTION

Crandon, Wis, April 22-Farice
Duff. who came here with his young
wife from near Frankfort, KY, few
months ago, was shot down in cold
blood from ambush by his wife, when
she found that he had been unfaithfui
to her.
When he left the house of his para
mour. another Kentucky woman, his
wife was awaiting his approach in the
shadow of nearby house, and as he
passed raised big revolver aud fired,
the ball entering just below the heart
and lodging in the back near the spine
1t cannot be extracted and Duff will
die of the wound.
The scene following the shooting
was dramatic in the extreme. The in
jured wife followed the men who
were carrying her dying husband to .
nearby store. and as he lay on the
floor stood over hun, keeping the gun
aimed at his heart. and asking:
do you think you have had enough
DO yon want any more?"
"For Gods SAGE. don't shoot
again." moaned the wounded man.
Cant you see you have killed me?
You have done for me. Cant You
leave me alone now?"
But the woman stood over him, still
asking If he had had enough. until she
was arrested by Sheriff Andrews.
Instead of expressing contrition, she
says that she wished the officers had
left her alone little longer, that she
might have shot tine woman that had
stolen her husbands love.
The Duffs came here because OF the
feuds of the mountains of Kentucky,
the faction to which they belonged, It
is rumored here, having been driven
from the state to avoid death. The
woman who was the cause of the shoot
ing is cousin Of the outlaw. Tom

ing to escape after stabbing an italian.
