Tacoma, April 27.-The state irriga-
ton commission held two important
sessions here during the day The spe-
cial objects of the meeting were to
give hearing To Elwood Mead, chief
of irrigation investigation United
States department Of agriculture, and
to hear an important paper by O. L..
Waller, professor of mathematics OF
the Washington agricultural college,
who has charge Of the government irri-
cation work in this state.
A long afternoon session was almost
entirely occupied in considering ways
and means to be followed by the com
mission for the framing by the state of
code of irrigation laws which will
facilitate the greatest possible develop
ment. One Of the important and par
ticular matters in connection with the
modification If the state laws is that
there shall be harmony with the rules
and regulations Of the government CON
trolling irrigation matters in general.
Mr. Mead is one of the greatest liv-
ing authorities upon irrigation, and
much of tho afternoon session was ia
ken up by him. A considerable por-
ton of the session was devoted to the
irrigation laws Of Wyoming, which are
similar to the irrigation laws of the
Northwest territories of Canada. The
discussion showed that these laws have
received more attention in their con-
atruction than any other set of irriga.
ton statutes in the country, and are
working with great satisfaction in the
districts named.
All the members of the commission
are anxious to press the irrigation OF
the arid lands of the state well to the
fore at the earliest possible moment

One of the chief arguments
Hearst men make TOR being for
him is, hat he is Il millionaire
and will spend his money. This
is n queer condition, when a
party. which claims the common
people compose it, advocates a
man buying a nomination, be.
cause he has millions. The fact
is, the great Hearst boom, as it
is called, is composed OF men
hired to organize clubs, and one
of the ehiet arguments is "Hearst
has a million to spend" How
much of this is the common PEG
pie getting? Don't be foolud-by
smooth-tongued politicians talk
ing for money Where do you
find a Hearst club that was not
organized by some one IN his
employ or that OF his campaign
manager? Let Democrats who
are such from principle, not for
money, keep cool and when the
convention meets in st. Louis
nominate a man who can win.
1t Hearst should be nominated,
nearly all the business interests
would oppose him, and halt of
organized labor, tor the latter
seldom votes as its fiery leaders
talk. No man should be per
nitted to buy "a presidential
nomination. This nation is too
great and too grand to adopt

March u, 1904.
DEAR EDIToR:
just received your welcome
paper from my old home. / look
forward to its coming with great
pleasure. l did not get it until
today--as we are five miles from
the railroad and postofiice, we
have to take our chances TO get
our mail. But the company
which is puttingin this lock will
start work again about the first
of May, and then VIC will have "a
daily mail. The receipt of your
paper is like getting a letter from
home or a triend-and [ surely
love my relatives and friends
there ; but it is sad to read of so
many dear old friends who have
passed over the river to rest,
where ere long we too will have
to follow.
This is a dreary place now.
When ] first came here there
were twenty white men and forty
negroes here, but the company
had to suspend work the first OF
February on account OF high
water. They will start up again
the FIRST of May, as they think
then all danger from high water
will be over.
The Government has had FIVE
locks put in above here, and this
company has contracts to put
three in the Warrior River
Lock No. l at DemopoIis, Lock
No. 2 fifteen miles below here,
and Lock No. 3 at this point. l
wish you could see the amount
OF fine machinery they have to
put in these locks, and e it
work. Is is truly a curiosity,
and it takes from three to fear

sary here for Wedgeworth Bros.
and, in connection, a boarding
house, and wish you were here
to eat fish and squirrels with ne.
as we hardly ever have a meal
without one or ,he other. | am
having an easy time now-only
one boarder, who is here looking
alter things; but [ will soon
have to hustle, for the company
will put on two hundred men,
and then is the time our money
comes in and a fellow has to
move. We will pay our head
cook $4,000, second cook $4,000,
and three Runkeys $500 and
$1,000 per mouth.
The Government has built a
very fine two story house here,
costing $4,000, and will have to
build one at each lock. 1t is
putting out q lot OF meney thro'
this country, which is a big help
to the working class.
The locks that have been fin
ished are complete success, and
boats can run all the year round.

congressman to get an appro-
priation to have locks placed in
that river from Macon to Tom.
