OUR WATER RIGHTS

also protect the water users m the lm- perial Valley equally KS much. It can thus be seen that if the diversion of water from the Colorado river IS made in Mexico, the California Development Company and it's Mexican Company will be compelled to construct proper headings for their canals and to pro- feet their works and the flow of water therein. in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Mexican government which means to the advantage and not to any detriment to either Mexico or the Mexican land owners.
 Should the California Development Company decide not to use the con cession for the diversion of water in Mexico. and return to their original plan of taking out the water in the United States, they would still be sub feet to the same supervision 'n Mexlco as provided in the contract, and would have to construct just such levees, dams and structures as are necessary to nrotect the Mexican landowners from damage by the diversion of surplus wa ter and wasting it on their lands. Should the entire diversion by the Cal ifornia Development Company be made in the United States, there is no doubt they would be required to put in ]ust such headgates and diversion works as the Reclamation Service would direct. The commission for the purpose of negotiating a treaty with Mexico cOn- cerning the control and diversion of water from the Colorado river has al- ready been appointed by President Roosevelt and there is every reason to believe that this treaty will be ready for action by the Senate at its next session. Also that in any legislation by congress o14 the diversion of water from this river, it is morally certain the Reclamation Service will be given charge over private diversions to the extent that Mexico controls them in her territory and that the California Development Company will be com pelled to build headgates and diversion works equal for all requirements in any event. It therefore follows. first, that adequate headgates must be put into the California Development Company's canal at the Colorado river, if diversion of water from said river is made in the United States, and second, equally as substantial and permanent works must be constructed for the canals of tue Soeiedad de Riego etc., if the di- version of water takes place in Mexico, and third, that without the completion of the mitigation workS for the supply ing of this Valley with water, the right to the use of the waters themselves may be impaired. It is evident. therefore, that the completion of the irrigation works of the California Development Company and of the SOciedad de Riegc is a matter in which all tlfe owners o lands and water stock in the lmperia Valley are interested. Any further delay or failure to complete these works Gaay result ia such loss to owners o atOck in the Lmperial Water Companies as will lose them the opportunity o TaGlAinling their lands and thus acquir ing . water right based on beneficial

keep them by themselves until they
begin to mate up. When you find
a cock chasing a hen about you may
rest assured that they are mated and
that he is driving her to the nest.
Keep your eye on that pair, catch
them and place them in pen by
themselves. In a very few days they
will be down to work. If they are
banded birds keep a record of their
numbers, so that if one or the other
dies you will have no difficulty in
picking up the mate and supplying
him with a new mate. Also see that
your nest boxes are numbered, so that
you will be able to follow the work of
the particular pairs of birds. You will
find that some pairs will give you
more young than others, and it is the
squads of the best birds that you want
to keep for your breeders. That is
the only way to build up a good pay

any trouble. Keep them healthy by
looking after little details, such as
feed and water, charcoal grit am

One breeder of squads in this state,
who has just entered the business,
writes that many eastern squad breed
ers only clean their houses twice
year, whereas it has been pointed out
in these columns that houses should
be cleaned out weekly. 1t is true
that some breeders of Homers DO not
clean their houses out except every
six months and the writer knows of
several breeders who clean out only
once a year; but the great bulk of
men who are in the squad business
for profit refuse to take a chance with
their lofts of choice Homers by en-
couraging filth. Everybody familiar
with poultry or pigeon breeding is
aware that dirty houses encourage lice
and other vermin, as well as sickness,
and while it may disturb your birds
somewhat to clean out two or three
times month the thing is certainly
worth such a risk. Anyhow, if you
teach your birds to know you and

enter the house quietly they will be
disturbed only few minutes and will
soon settle down to work. Do your
cleaning quickly and then get out.
Scatter some sand on the floor and a
pinch of powdered lime in the boxes
and the house is o. K. for another
week, provided your birds have plenty
of nesting material and the box con-
tanning the charcoal, grit and salt is
well filled.
There is an honest difference of
opinion among breeders as to whether
or not it is advisable to keep pigeons
confined. Men who have made the
matter of breeding Homers business
for twenty-five years contend that it
is only a question of time, if flock
of Homers are confined in a fly until
they cease to be good SQUAD breeders.
1t is the contention of these men that
it is possible for person to keep a
large flock of Homers at liberty close
to or even in city and seldom if ever
lose bird.

which lice or mice can get good

to see that your birds get plenty OF

(By E. l.. Reber.)


Spring is the time of the year when
your SQUAD breeders will do their
very best work. They enter into the
spirit of the warm sunny days AMI
busy themselves all day long, bath
ing, cooling, love-making, nest-build-
ing and feeding the young. Many
breeders make it point to save their
spring young for breeders, believing
that these young are so much better
fed by the parent birds, mature there
fore much earlier, and remain through
life the strongest and hardest birds
of all the year. This is certainly true
of the east, where the weather is so
severe But spring, while it brings
more squads, is time when one
should see to it that the squad houses
are kept free of disease. Warm
weather encourages lice. See that

board has been appointed, consisting OF
Commander Young, Lieuts Yates and

The name of the deserter is said to be

the night before the explosion. Had he

Commander Young and the officers of the
ship began an investigation into the cause
of the explosion yesterday afternoon.
