SOME INTERESTING FLUTES.
Mr.. Gardner asked what amount Of
water flows into the lake and lis rcla-
tlon to the evaporation. H. reply The
professor stated, that According to
the figures of Prof Swendsen there
IS $1,000 acre feet flowing
into the lake per year; and that the
evaporation for the last three years
was 39S,0OO acre feet per year.
Deputy County Surveyor McAlister
stated that according to these figures
there will be only about $4,000 acre feet
per year to utilize.
PROF. NEWELL EXPLAINS.
Prof Newell explained that by re-
ducing the area OF the lake II would
reduce the evaporation and II they
needed It they could draw out all the
water In the lake. But such action
would be rather an unusual thing BUT
by cutting down the channel Of the
river, he said. and running II out into
the lake, Il would become necessary to
pump the water into the high line
canals,
ABOUT THE PUMPS.
State Engineer Doremus inquired II
the pumps would be used during the
season when the water would run into
the canal by gravity, to which Prof,
Newell replied that they would not.
WILL BE SOME WASTE.
Bishop Heber BenniOn asked II water
would go TO waste In wet seasons, or
could II be stored In the lake. lie
was informed that some water would
have to be wasted that 1t would not be
advisable to raise the lake to compro'
mise point.
FARMERS MUST GET TOGETHER.
Prof. Newell stated that he and his
men could talk engineering and would
LEI the farmers do the heavy work,
and settle all of the questions In regard
TO their various interests In the water
rights Of the lake. 1--WE VIII sit on the
fence" ne said land watch you work
It out, and then you will appreciate 1t
better"
Mr.. McAllIster wanted some sugges-
lions az 10 a means whereby the farm
ers could get together on the PROPOSE
ton. Prof. Newell told him what had
been done elsewhere in similar projects,
He said call for massmeeling should
be made, and the matter talked over
until the farmers talked themselves out.

TO CONTINUE STRIKE.
Fall RiUer Labor Unions So pote
bu LARGE Majority.

Fall River Mass Dec. 3O.-The labor unions
involved since last July in a strike against
12I5 per cent reduction in wages In the cotton
mills of the city to-day, by vote OF approx
mately three to one approved continuance of
the contest The vote of the unions was as fol-
lows: For continuance, 1401: against, 42o
This was the first formal vote on the question
taken since the action Of the unions In July on
beginning the strike The ballot then was 1.5l0
in favor of a strike and 1896 opposed. There
were 100 less votes cast in favor of the continu-
ance than in favor of the strike, while those
opposed to prolongng the strike hundred "a
more than those who first voted against strike.
The result of the vote is general disappoint-
rnent TO business men. who had hoped for an
ending of the trouble. There is still some
question to what extent the vote of the unions
to-day will be considered binding by the great
body of non-union help There is believed to be
some possibility that the unorganized operatives
may gradually go back, and thus slowly end
the strike.
The labor secretaries say that the vote to-day
shows that the union operatives are just as de-
termined as ever to continue the struggle; that
il proves that the labor leaders are not making
the fight, and that the manufacturers must
make concessions before the employees Will go
back to work. The union operatives, they also
assert reflect the opinion of a large majority of
the help who are not affiliated with any of the
unions The manufacturers expressed dtsap-
pointment at the action taken by the unions
They said however, that there was no hope of
a restoration of the 122 per cent reduction, and
they proposed to continue attempts 10 run the
mills under the same conditions as they have
for the last weeks
