IRRIGATION
Secretary Hitchcock's Report Shows
the Progress Of the Work IN
Many States.

Washington, Dec Secretary
Hitchcock transmitted to the house to-
day report Of the reclamation service,
showing the work done and in progress
towards reclaining arid lands during
'the season Of 1903" The secretary
says that so far as can be foreseen
at present 70 further legislation is re-
quired, the present law having been
found sufficient to accomplish its pur-
pose.
The report shows that while exam
nations and surveys have been made
in all sections of the, arid region, Ne
vada is the only state where actual
construction has begun, and Arigona
lis the only territory. In other states
and territories plans and specifications
are in various stages of progress and
the work is being pushed
The irrigation fund, accumulated
from the sale of public lands in the
thirteen states and three territories to
which the irrigation act applies, now
amounts to a total of $I6,5oI ,836. This
fund has been accumulatingin the treas
TRY since 1907.
The question of drilling artesian wells
has been one of considerable comment
in view of the fact that many persons
have importuned for such work simply,
says the report, to develop the mineral
resources beneath the surface. A rul-
ing precluding such experiments has
been made on the ground that irforma-
ton possessed by the geological survey
on the subject does not warrant the ex-
Ipenditure of the irrigation fund for that
purpose.
Large areas of the public lands have
been withdrawn from entry under the
act pending further development. Con-
tracts have been let for three sections
of the work on the Truckee canal in
Nevada and also on the Salt River dam
in Arizona. The policy has been, the
report says, to divide the work into
small units so as to engage a large
number of contractors and encourage
competition.
In many states radical changes in
the water right laws will have to be
made before irrigation projects can be
undertaken under the act. Nevada has
already changed her laws in conform
ity with the act.
1T has developed, continue = the re-
port, that the states having the largest
fund are those in which irrigation is
the least important. A detailed report
Eof the field operations in progress is I'M
cluded in the report.

the Commissioners that the field force Of
the department has completed the work
Of removing the poles and overhead wires.
belonging to the District along 14th street
street between 14th and 18th streets has
also been taken down. In all nineteen
poles were removed and ten miles OF wire
cut down. These poles and wires formed
an important part OF the fire alarm and
police telegraph systems of the District
government. Their removal was made pos.
sible by the new underground conduit con-
struction Of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company. The law authorizing
the underground work provided that the
telephone company should reserve so many
ducts for the District and the United States
By running the fire alarm and police cables
underground. the overhead wires were
proving the appearance of things along
the thoroughfare In question.
The new type of underground connected
fire alarm posts have been erected along
the entire distance of 14th street up to and
including Mount Pleasant. From Z street

COOL, BRAc1Na WEATHER.
Sudden Fall in the Temperature Occa
stoned bv Northwest Winds.

The sudden change in the atmosphere
from muggy, sultry heat to clear, dry cold
has caused more than the usual comment
today. All day yesterday the good citi-
zens of the District sweltered In
their winter clothes. Last night people
slept with difficulty in some portions of the
city. and a general discard Of heavy
clothing was the result. But the atmos-
phere was entirely different this morning.
A cool, bracing wind from the west sent
shivers running up and down the spine
OF the man clad In summer garb.
All this was promised yesterday by the
weather bureau. The hot weather that pre-
vailed during the early part of the week
was caused by the winds from the south
which drove the heavy rain-laiden atmos-
phere toward the District A rain storm
of no mean proportions was doing an ex-
tensive business not very far to the south
during the early part of the week. and
was headed directly for the District. A
strong breeze from the west DETECTED the
course of the storm, however, and it passed
to the east Of the city. on its way north.
The breeze veered to the northwest and
the atmosphere became cooler Immediately.
The temperature has been falling ever
since then, although it is promised that
it will not become colder than it has been
today.

a.y Of the District building. While ma
toritv of the principal thoroughfares OF the

sweeping of about 2OO,OOO.OOo square yaros
of street surface by machine. Ihis year

sioners may order the flushing of 25.OOO,OoO
square yards during the year. 1t Is estl-
mated that this will permit the flushing OF
the streets in the business section on at
| least two nights each week. 1t Is expected
| that the experiment will be something IN
the nature of an object lesson as to what
may be accomplished in the way of cleanli-
ness on the streets by flushing. Then Con-
gress next year may allow separate ap-
preparation for this class of work
The first bid opened was that OF the

three-year contract basis. as follows: One
year, 20 cents per 1000 square yards; two

The increase in the price for the longer
contract was explained by the estimated
increase In the length of hauls to dumps
in that length of time, and the consequent
necessary employment Of more teams. rms
Arm proposed to do the flushing by hose
until some better system could be devised.
The third bid was from r. " Rusk or

Shall we sit idle and let these concerns
go ahead and arbitrarily fix the price
OF everything we sell and everything
we buy without even a mild protest?"
In commenting on the proposed ac-
tion OF the Laurens farmers the
Greenville News says:
The matter is of vital interest to
every farmer in South Carolina. This
year they are being paid more for
their cotton, but it will not help them
to any extent if they are required to
give up eyhorbitant sums for fertiliz-
ers. just how they can meet the cri-
sis, should develop, is not an easy
problem, but if they unite, and will
stand together, refusing to purchase
the manufactured article at excessiv-
rates, the trust will find that it can
not afford to squeeze when there are
few planters to buy. 1t may be that
something practical will be suggested
at the Laurens meeting, in which case
it will doubtless meet with the hearty
support and cooperation of the mass
es on whom we depend for our living"

County going to do about the matter?
