CAL|FORN|ANS OBJECT
TO LAKE OVER FARMS
Complain to Hitchcock That Irrigation
Canal Overfows and Inurdates
Imperial Valley Lands.

Several property owners of the I'm
perial valley In California have petit
toned the Secretary of the Interior for
relief from damages done their proper
ty by the California Development Com
pany. The building OF an irrigation
canal through the Imperial valley has
resulted in the formation OF a lake with
the extent Of 600 square miles and the
inundation of 25.OO0 acres of valuable
farm land.
The Secretary OF the Interior has
taken the petition under advisement.
In 1896 the California Development
Company was organized in New Jersey
for the purpose of taking the water of
The Colorado river and delivering it to
settlers who should enter the public
lands situated In the Colorado desert,
which is now known as the Imperial
valley. In 1901 the company began
TO deliver water, but the supply was
not equal to the demand, and two years
later many complaints were made by
the settlers.
To meet the demand, the company
last year made another canal from its
canal into the Colorado river at 4
point about four miles below the Amer
lean line. The second canal was built
without any controlling works. As a
result, the spring rains played havoc
with the canal, and the lake is the out
come from which the petitioners ask
relief

Representative Joseph L. Rhinoch. OF
the Covington. KY. district. at the VIII
lard this morning.
The people are with us in the fight
against the theatrical trust and the
support We are receiving is most gem
erous.
We have completed plans for the erec-
tion OF some fifteen or twenty theaters

the West, including Cincinnati, Cleve-
land. Detroit. Memphis, Chicago. Louis

nitude, the latest musical extravagan-

Speaking of politics Representative
Rhinoch says the interest in KEN
tucky is centered IN the senatorial fight
Its the field against Blackburn, he says.
and the general opinion is that Judge
Paynter who was In Congress a few
years ago, will be elected Representa-
tive Rhinoch will return to Kentucky
tomorrow and will take hand in the
campaign.

offending words were duly stricken
out, but the news account does not
say whether the sauce was used or
not. No one has ever been able to

catch the flavor of aqua fortis in the

to know whether or not wine was

the sauce. If it was served after the
offending words were deleted. what
redress would the members of the
W. c. T. U. have had? They ought
not to betray the expert knowledge
implied in its detection, and they
ought not to eat in silence the de-
tested juice Of the grape. Perhaps
a wicked dining car crew is now
laughing in its duck sleeve at the
delegates who got little "Califor-

PARIS, Oct. 24.-The great French
senator Baron D'Esteurnelles de Cou-
tant. declares that it IS greatly desir-
able. in the interest of permanent peace
founded on justice, that q body of COM
petent men be chosen by each nation
to devote themselves. relieved of all
other cares, to the study of needed i'm
provements In the law of nations and
in the methods of its administration
He says this international council of
state should convene periodically in
the various capitals of the nations rep
resented in the council, and that its
resolutions, declaring general rules or
principles for the conduct of interna-
tional intercourse. ought to be recog-
nized as law unless vetoed by one or
more of the nations affected.
Two Nations Enough.
He says the creation of such a body of
men is becoming more and more urgent,
and that it should be constituted as
soon as a few nations will have repre-
sentatives. He would favor the crea-
tion of such a council as soon as France
and the United States will name rep
resentatives regardless of what other
nations may do. but he would like to
see Great Britain. Germany. and all the
other powers. great and small. join at
the very beginning.
