CT. Every possibility of irrigation de- velopment in the arid region has been exploited at some time by somebody, and if it should be held that the rec lamation service should not interfere with private enterprise, it must either cease it's operations or cOnfine them to projects so utterly chimerical that there would be no human possibility of the return of the money expended.
 While it should be the policy of the service to cooperate with and assist all legitimate private irrigation devel- opment, it should not allow a false sense of fairness to deprive any com munity of the opportunity to effect its development along the broa6est possi- ble lines, and it would be anything but fair to such a community to decide that an attempt to irrigate it's lands had created a mortgage upon them. and that they must be left to be ex- plotted for private profit, regardless of the wishes of those most vitally inter ested. It is the rule that wherever the reclamation service has started its in vestigations, it has found some part of its project overlapping lands which are being exploited by private enterprise. In such cases if there is a reasonable probability that the enterprise will be carried out, its lands should not be included. unless their exclusion would cripple the project. and in this case some equitable arrangement should be made with the interests involved.

they can be placed that the light may be perfect along the book shelves. MT. Norton's plans are drawn so the light of two windows will shine along the front of each row of shelves, the va rious stacks radiating from a central point, toward the wall, like the spolxes of a wheel from hub to felloe. Car rying out the simile the wing would be represented by half wheel and in the felloe between each spoke would be two windows.
 This stack room is on the first floor. On the second floor and immediately above it is the auditorium. The base ment is devoted to a furnace room. work room, lavatories and one or two other apartments not designed to be completed until there is need of them. The building of course is to be furnace heated, and there are apartments for the board, the librarian and other of fees if needed. The center of the first or main floor is the corridor and the front of the building is modelled a lft- tie after the front of the territorial capitol. The basement has a seven foot ceiling, about half the basement being below ground.
 It is proposed that the trimmings for the building, window arches. etc, shall be stone, probably tufa, and the walls of brick. This has not been fully decided upon, however, and MT. Mor- ton is trying to determine the practi- cability of veneering the entire struc- ture with tufa. The roof is surround ed by an artistic railing or colonna1e of either iron or terra cotta. In a general way, the perspective view from the front resembles a picture of the capi- tol building.

THE LIBRARY PLANS
Many Viewed Them at the Council
 Chamber Yesterday.

Many citizens called at the council chambers yesterday afternoon to in- spect the plans for the Carnegie li- braIy. both the set accepted by the council and those offered in competi- tion by the three other bidders. It is hardly necessary to make comparisons. the council having acted, and indeed only one having technical knowledge could make a fair comparison except as to his own taste in architecture and arrangement. The plans all look good to the eye of the layman and any of them no doubt would have made the basis of operations for the construction of a satisfactory building. In a gen. eral way, of course, they are all sim liar, each having provided for separate reading rooms for ladies, gentlemen and children, well lighted stack rooms halls, lavatories, etc. All but one of the plans has a dome over the build ing.
 The plans accepted. and one of the other sets provide fer the stack room in the rear or south side of the build ing, in the nature of a semi circular wing, with windows in it as thick as

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ENTER.
 PRISE.

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir: The relation between public and private enterprise has been the subject of some controversy since the passage of the reclamation act. It was assumed by many that the reclamation engineers would confine their opera tions to development which offered no attraction to private enterprise. such as the construction of storage reser- Voirs on over appropriated streams, or the building of canals to divert the water from unused streams into rivers where scarcity existed. In other words that the reclamation service should be confined to operations which would tend to the general amelioration of conditions existing in the arid regions, without coming into commercial rela- tiOns with the land or people benefited by its action. While this would be vastly more satisfactory to those charged with the execution of the rec lamation act. it would not carry out the provisions of the law what the amounts expended should be repaid by the lands benefited. This provision of the reclamation act makes it the first duty of it's. executives to select for it's operations feasible projects. in which the owners of the land can afford to repay to the reclamation fund the ac- tual amounts expended in their Iec- lamation.
 The fact that the funds used under the reclamation act are relieved from interest charges, makes many projects feasible which could not be profitably carried out by private enterprise but this is more than offset by the peren- nial hopefulness of the private; promot-

COLD WAVE IS HERE.
Mercury Drops to Ten Degrees at 10
O'Clock Today.

The cold wave which the weather
department predicted for this locality
arrived on time and proved true to
name. The temperature at the noon
hour yesterday was So, the tempera-
ture for the same hour today is Il,
showing a drop in the mercury of Al
degrees, though at 10 o'clock it was
II degrees colder. This morning was
the first morning Of the season that
one was able to 'see his breath and
the cold biting wind blowing from the
west at the rate of % miles per hour is
a strong reminder of the blizzardy
weather of winter.
The effect is heightened by the fact
that the atmosphere is filled with
minute particles of frost which sting as
they strike the face and unprotected
portions of the body. Solid ice formed
in the little ponds on the avenue which
are partially filed with water from the
rains of last week.
During the earlier hours Of morning
there were several hurries of snow which

CROFT GOES TO PRISON
Man Who Confessed 10 Kuntz Assault
Given Ten Years.

John Croft, the self-confessed as
sailant of w. F. Kuntz, was brought
before Judge Dana of the district
court this morning and sentenced to
hard labor in the state penitentiary on
an indeterminate sentence.
The sentence imposed by the court
means that his sentence may be from
ten to twenty-one years in prison, at
the discretion of the prison board 1t
was expected that Croft would have
something to say when he came up for
sentence, but this was not the case
After he had left the court room he
said. There was nothing which I
could have said that would have made
any difference. The story which told
on the witness stand was exactly cor
rect in every way. I hate to have to
go over the road and do time for
something that someone else is guilty
Of I did not strike the blows which
smashed Mr.. Kuntz's skull and would
not have done so. Cal Heck did that
work and we had not planned it that
way at all. Croft Will be taken to the
penitentiary some time next week by

CIGARS NOT DRUGS.
Judge Hayden Lays Down the Law
for Drug Stores.

Judge Hayden this morning decid-
ed the druggists permit case against
Leroy Williams, who runs a drug store
in the Childs building on East Seventh
street. A committee appointed by the
state board of pharmacy reported that
the drug stock in this store is worth
less than $1,000. The state board re-
quires that before a druggist may
possess a pharamacist's permit as the
owner Of store that the stock Of
drugs must invoice more than $1,000.
Williams claimed that his stock is
worth more than the amount required
by law. However he includes in his
invoice a stock of cigars valued at $500
and numerous sundry articles.
Judge Hayden held by his decision
this morning that the $1,000 of drugs
which must be in a drug store must
consist of drugs and nothing else.
and sundry articles must not be in
cluded in the invoice" says Judge
Hayden "and while alcohol and
liquors are used in cOmpounding pre-
scTiptions, I think the law is so plain
that I am making no mistake in my
decision. This decision will apply in
all such cases as come before this
court until the decision is reversed by
a higher court.
1.-THE definition Of drugs as given in
the encyclopedia is in itself sufficient
ground fer making the ruling which
I have made. In the past liquor has
not been included in the stock invoice
by druggists but sundry articles and
cigars have not been on the prohibit
ed list"

William SwalweH Meets Horrible
Death This Morning.
Caught by Monster Crane at
Santa Fe Shops.
HE HAD NO WARNING.
Working on Tracks and Didn't
Hear Approach Of Crane.
Associates Gather Up Mangled
Portions of Body.

William Swalwell, 8 5 years old, was
killed this morning while at work in
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
shops. His death was a most horrible
one, his body literally being torn apart
by the wheels of the travelling crane
in the locomotive shops.
SwalweI was employed as a carpen-
ter and spent his time in doing odds
and ends of work in his line around
the shops. He was sent this morning
about 1890 o'clock to fix a window
high up on one of the walls of the To-
comotive shop. Running the entire
length of this shop is an overhead
structure on which is moved a huge
sixty-ton travelling crane. In order TO
get at the window he was going to
work on Swalweu had to stand on this
structure.
It was not generally known by the
men in the shop that Swalweu was
up on the structure and the travelling
crane was started from one end of the
shop to the other. Al though 1t is an
enormous piece Of machinery, it moves
along with little noise and such as it
makes is usually drowned out by the
inceSSant hamnering and other noises
made by the men at work. For this
reason SwalwelI did not hear it's ap-
prOach and its enormous wheels were
on him before he knew of his danger
His clothes we're caught in the gearing
and his body dragged under the
wheels, and all of them on that side Of
the carriage of the crane passed over
his body, crushing and mangling it in
a fearful fashion.
Men working in the shops and those
manipulating the crane had no idea of
the terrible accident until the crane
had passed over SwalwelIs body when,
on looking up, they saw its dismem-
bered portions hanging from the struc-
ture. SwalWells head was severed
completely from his body. A leg and
an arm were torn off and the trunk of
the body was mangled terribly.
Ladders were run up and a couple of
wOrkmen climbed on the structure and
gathered up the parts of Swalwell's s
body and carried them to the floor.
Coroner Keith was notified and after
making a brief Investigation of the ac-
cident he turned the remains over to
Undertaken Leroy Penwen and the lat
ter removed them to his undertaking
rooms where he will prepare them for
burial. the time for which has not been
set as yet. Coroner Keith said that he
would not order an inquest unless one
was demanded by the railroad COM
pany. 81
Mr.. Swalwell was married man and
lived at No. TIC Lime street. He was a
member of A. 0. q. W. No. and had
host of friends. One of his sons is

MAY BE HUMBLED.
Feeling the Cuba May Be Humiliated
Before World.

Havana. Nov. 29.-Government Off
cials think Cuba will be humbIed before
the world if an American warship as
sited in keeping order in the Isle of
Pines as has been suggested by Mr..
Squtres. This matter appears to have
caused a climax in their growing ami
mostly to Mr.. SQuires.
On the social side Mr.. SQuireS main
tained a beautiful and costly home
which was the center of social life of
the Cubans as well as the Americans.
He entertained Cuban8 there on num-
berless occasions. but the American
minister was never invited to dine at
any Cuban home excepting on rare and
formal occasions at the palace.
President Palma says the government
has made no complaint against Mr..
Souires and added that he deeply re-
gretted that the minister had resigned.

dispatch regarding the Isle of Pines

pushed to the uttermost, but who
now take the view that he has been
punished enough"
The attorney general has gone over
the case with the president. The con-
clusiOn was that the ends of justice
could only be served by the second
trial at st. Louis Tt was the conclu-
sion that the senator would get a fair
and impartial trial by twelve of
peers. The result could not be fore
seen by the government any more
than it could by the defense. 1t was
held that Burton had every reason
able doubt in his favor and the best
Of legal talent to defend him. Now,
that the jury has found him guilty,
the administration believes that the
case should go to the court Of last re-
sort and its mandate, whatever that
proves to be, should be binding and
final
Case Surprises Senators.
Members Of the senate expressed sur
prise in discussing the Burton case.
some Of the officials Of the department
Of justice, that q second conviction
would be impossible. Some members
of the senate believe that If Burton had
resigned from his seat in the senate
and had accepted the results Of the first
trial in more humble spirit, the ef-
fort to have the prosecution dropped
would have been successful. Every IN
curry designed TO DFln8 out WnGlnGE tA4S
senator would give up his seat in the
senate and retire to private life was an
swered in a way to indicate --~+ he
contemplated no such course; that he
would accept the dropping of the prose-
cutiOn as a vindicatiOn and would seek
to return to his seat in the senate and
discharge his duties as before the origi-
nal Indictment. This was not acceptable
to the administration. nor did this at
titude meet the approval Of the con-
servative members of the senate, who
have most to do with the decision as
to the attitude which the senate will as
sumo as a whole.
1t is a safe general assertion that If
the things for which Senator Burton
has been criticized were confined to the
Rialto grain and securities case he
would have a majority sentiment. in
and out of the senate, among public
men in Washington in his favor How
ever, he was engaged in so many other
things and was guilty of so many other
antagonisms to the best thought of the
senate, that all are held against him
in cumulative way; so that senators
who talk about the case at all say that
he had forfeited sympathy on other
grounds than those presented in the
case now in the courts.
