IMPORTANT IRRIGATION NEWS.

THE MOST IMPORTANT irrigation
/ news. from a local standpoint, that
has been given out for a long time is
contained in the announcement that
Prof. c. L. Swendson. of the United
States geological survey, who has been
engaged for some time in making sur
veys around Utah lake, has urged that
the lake be chosen as the site for the
first government irrigation work in
Utah. This is the result Of a careful
Investigation. Prof. Swendson-s feels
sure of his ground. so sure that he is
enthusiastic over the proposition. His
measurements show that the lake can

cubic feet of water per second every
hay throughout the computed irriga-
ton season OF 152 days. The advan-
tages TO be derived from this project

statistics in its last ANNUAL report gave
the total acreage of farms in the. salt
Lake valley as. 104.09S. OF this only
ESP acres, or less than One-halfj were

lAtlanla Con8titutIon. Deml


The situation politically is one that is
continually Frightening at the Democratic
end, ard il the Democrats Of congress
will only caucus closely and decide care
fully upon their policy between now and
next June. they can do magnificent work
in bringing the party upon the national
field In winning form.
So far as the nomination Of President
Roosevelt by the Republicans IS concerned
the Democrats need not Worry. Let him
be nominated. If the Democracy cannot
beat him they can hardly hope to beat
any Republican He has saddled and
bridled the party and is riding it rough
and hard. He is making Independent Re
publican voters every day. So long as he
is doing that the Democrats can afford to
let him caper. and CuTVet as he will.
That the great conservative business
interests OF the country are afraid of a
second trial OF Roosevelt is too plain TO
bear contradiction. He may go mildly
enough now. while the question of his
nomination and election are pending. but
with these assured and the Toes OF March

what Roosevelt would then do. He is

It is no wonder that a man with his
nerve, ambition and readiness should be

As to Roosevelt the Democrats need only
TO find a wise. stable and constitutional
Democrat of clean record and unques-
toned patriotism. Between the two tho

nor for hundreds of thousands of conser-
vatiye Republicans.

He GREAT SLUMP in steel stocks
L turns out to have been thoroughly
Justifiable- At a meeting Of the di-
rectors held on Tuesday the usui
quarterly dividend Of ia per cent on
the preferred stock was declared and
the dividend on the common stock
vas passed. The showing Of earnings
Tor the last quarter Of 1903. as com
pared with the same period in 1902. is
liiumining. During the last three
months Of last year the trusts net
earnings were s14.S45.0 42. For the last
three months in 1902 the net earnings
were SS1. 9S5.75s.
Here is a decrease Of not far from "a
per cent The drop in profits was
easily enough foreseen on the New
York stock exchange, and it was but
natural that the steel shares should
depTeciate heavily in value. And vet
1t is rather difficult TO understand why
there should have been such an enor-
nous decrease. That is, unless the
figures for 1902 were padded-and. of
course, Ho good trust would pad its
earnings figures, especially at a time
when the public was being cordially
invited to invest in the stock.
But if the 1902 figures were not pad
ded, how is the showing for 1888 to be
accounted for? Abundant statistics
are at hand TO show that more rail
roads were built in 1903 than in 1902.
To build railroads Won must have stool
rails, and to get steel rails you must
so to the steel trust If you buy them
in this country. Were the new lines
built without rails, or We're the rails
purchased abroad? In the line of
structural iron and steel the activity
was marked also. Numbers of build
ings requiring steel beams, rafters.
girders and framework were con-
structed or started. many bridges were
built
Nevertheless the employees Of. the
United States Steel corporation, the
steel trust, were notified on Jan. 1 that
their wages would be reduced to an
extent that will save the corporation
upwards OF S27,e0O,00O between the
years beginning and the years end.
This should give SoI5ers of the COM
mon stock hope for d small dividend,
but it is most unpleasant for the en-
ployes of the trust.

But Mr.. ROosevelts interference in the

sPoiLs The SCHOOLS.

IT IS BETTER to be the Brother-in-
law Of a member Of the board of
eoUcatioD when you are seeking q place
81 the disposal Of the board. than to be
personally ut 1or the position TO which
You aspire.
This is the doctrine laid down by a
ajority Of the board at a meeting
Eeld Tuesday night when, without a
wcrd Ct warning, and as a result Of a
Job put up in q secret caucus, J. B.
Moreton. who has been clerk Of the
board for more than thirteen years, was
Eummarily discharged to make room for
the brother-in-law Of Byron Cummings,
one Of the members from the First
ward. The only theory by which the
action can be accounted for lies in the
TACT that L. r. Judd, the beneficiary of
81 outrage that the people will remem-
beI and rebuke at their earliest 0ppor-
tunity. is the brothar-in-law Of Gun
Dings.
Only one member Of the board, Mr..
Cummings, who, as has been stated,
Is connected with the family Of NJ.
Judd by marriage, apparently has any
accurate knowledge Of him. We should
perhaps. except Mr.. Nelden. who knew
Judd in a business way and who voted
against him for the clerkship. My
business relations with Judd have
shown ne that he is no more fit for
this position than am, and I am not, %
said M Nelden in explaining his ~ote.
Mr.. Giauque, who was one of Judd s
supporters, acknowledged that ne had
known the new clerk personally for
tEly few days It is inconeeivable
that in so short d period even d man
n Mr.. Giauque's superior order of IN
telligence could ascertain positively
that Judd is a fit person TO be clerk Of
the board of education. Mr.. Newman
IS another member of the board who
voted for Judd, and Mr.. Newman &C.
FliLed TO answer Mr.. NeIden's question
as to how long he had known him.
Surely, if Dir. Newman had been able to
give sound reasons for his faith in Judd
he would not have overlooked such a
favorable opportunity.
The Herald has 10 interest IN hav-
Ing Mr.. Moreton, the discharged clerk,
retain his position, other than the in
terest all of us should have in securing
and in keeping competent public Off
Gals That Mr.. NIoreton is honest and
capable anu competent not one Of the
board members who voted against hin
viii deny. If he had not possessed all
Of these qualifications he could hardly
have held the elerkship for a period
covering more than thirteen years. Ia
deed, no charge Of any kind has been
preferred against him, although the
J.dd men we're challenged to make
charges.
The conclusion that Professor Cum
mings has deliberately used his official
position to further the interests of a
relative is irresistible. If Judd had not
been Cummings brother-in-law ne
would no more have been considered in
connection with the clerkship than the
1Iaharajah Of Kappurtala- We cannot
regard the action of Cummings other
than as a betrayal Of the trust repOsed
in him by his constituents, And the
members who joined him in grating
the spells system upon the public
schools are equally guilty.
