nation Service's plans were carried out Thus we find the beneticent plans 0 Uncle Sam for the development ant upbuiIdinw of our great southwest, com
 balted by the perennial promoter witt
 his punv private enterprise. The Re
 clamatinn service had to go into court t' fight for the right to develop the west
 against a railroad scheme which wa.
 more than likely gotten up for the pur
 pose of working liold-up scheme ol he government.
 The contest was tried before the Secre,
 tary of the Interior on the right of the
 Reclamation Service to have the lanu
 withdrawn from entry and sale anu
 devoted to an impounding dam, ana was decided in favor of the Reclamation
 Service.
 Then it is presumed the railroad pro.
 motors sought to go ahead and build the
 road anyway in defiance to the Interior
 Department, but we note that on May 6 an injunction was issued by the court
 in Colorado restraining these parties from building the railroad. Further developmentsin in this case will be watched with interest.
 If the railroad people pursue their usual tactics of contempt for law and everything else, as they generally do, it will be interesting to see what the out come will be. Perhaps, never in the history of the west has contest of more momentous significance to the entire southwest been waged.
 If this dam is built it will mean the complete reclamation of all the irrigable lands along the course of the Colorado river, as without this dam the floods can not be controlled, and the structures and irrigation work along the Colorado river made safe, while enough water with it can be impounded annually to irrigate a million acres more than could be other wise supplied.
 In this fight the Reclamation Service is waging great battle for pOsterity, as well as for those who have already established rights to the use of the Wa ters of the Colorado river and the sympathy of every settler and land owner who is dependant upon the utilization of the waters of the Colorado for the irrigation of his land, should be with them. The next problem the Service had to confront was the navi- sability of the lower Colorado river. This was established by treaty with the Republic of Mexico, and could not be changed except bp the negotiation of new treaty and the consent of the Mexican government. One of the first concerning the use of the waters of the lower Colorado river for irrigation, which presents itself, was he claim of the California Development to these waters under the avs of California.
 Appropriations had been made from he navigable portion of this stream lnder the laws of both California and

that have been devoted to it, one car feel absolutely assured that this grea stream will soon pass under the contro of the Reclamation Service, and the ia reaching plans outlined for it's conserva tion and control be carried out, and al empire builded in our arid west from the use of it's fruitful waters.
 It was early realized by the Reclama tion Service that the ColoradO's greates asset was being wasted in the sea, that the great floods which ran to waste il riotous destruction were the key to the situation. Without the con. trol of these by adequate impoundine dams, the water supply would be insuf- ficient at certain seasons; the diversion works would be endangered, and proba. bly, destroyed at other seasons, and the complete and rational development o the great territory irrigable from this river could not be fully accomplished Stream measurements had been con. ducted fer a number of years before the passage of the National Irrigation act. and from the data thus gathered the Reclamation Service were enabled to lay out their work and push it at every point.
 It was necessary to secure the adop- tion of laws by all the states in which the upper tributaries of the Colorado are situated, that would establish the water rights of tine appropriations who were then using water from said streams and also provide the terms on which further diversions should be made.
 We understand that this has been ac- Mir. Morris Bien, the att torney for the Reclamation Service, has prepared State Irrigation Code that is applicable to all the irrigation states, and especially to those where it is de- sirable that the state and national irri- gation officials work in harmony.
 The second point to look after was the selection of sites for the great impound- ing dams and works that will, when control the floods of the Colorado and its tributaries, and make it possible to supply the dweiers along it's course with abundant water at all times, and at the same time render them immune from the disasterous floods which now sweep unimpeded to the sea.
 The first great site selected for this purpose is in Colorado, and is commonly lnOwn as the Kremling Reservoir site. 1t is estimated that at this place enough water can be caught and stored out of he spring floods each year to success ully irrigate one million acres.
 However, before tine Reclamation service had made their surveys and pre- pared their plans for this great work for he salvation of the arid southwest, a ailroad promoter had organized a com Iany to build railroad through this anyon, and laid claim to right of way long the bottom of the valley that would become vast lake if the Reca-

 Irrigation law was passed and the
 questions involved came to be investi-
 gated, it was at once apparent that
 these appropriations were not valid.
 This opinion from the United States
 officials was not acquiesced in by the
 California Development Company, but
 nevertheless, as precaution it, case
 their water appropriation under the
 California law should be found not to
 hold. The Daniels bill was introduced
 into Congress for the purpose of con
 frming the rights claimed under the California law, and transferring the ownership of the waters of the Colo- rado river to the California Develop. ment Company.
 The outcome of the hearings and controversy over this bill was the ap. pontment of 8 commission by the Secretary of the Interior to investigate the whole subject involved in the use of the waters of the lower Colorado river for irrigation, to determine the rights of present appropriators and users and of parties engaged in dvert- ing said water and delivering it to irri- gators for hire. This commission visited Imperial Valley May 3l, 1904, and the work of making the investiga-
 tions was carried on throughout the year.
 The final conclusions of this com mission were reported to Congress by the Secretary of the Interior, January 6, 1905, and briefly. were to the effect that, 1st, the Colorado river is navi- gable stream and therefore under the control of the United States govern ment. 2nd, That no rights to the ownership of these waters can be ac- quired under state or territorial laws or customs. 3rd, That the river should be improved and controlled under the Reclamation Service, so that it's navi- gability could be maintained by regu- lating it's flow. 4th, That the water thus discharged by the river in excess of that required to maintain it's navi- should be available for irriga- tion purposes.
 The Secretary also took cognizance of the fact that water was already being diverted from the river and used for irrigation, and recommended that Con- gress pass laws granting to those who had already made beneficial use of any of said water in the irrigation of their lands, the perpetual right to the use If tine amount of water thus beneficialy used. He also recommended that any party or corporation engaged in the business of diyerting water from said Colorado river and delivering it 10 parties for use in irrigatlng their lands, should have. their right to continue in this work so long as they make reas- Onable charge therefore and that these corporations might be permitted to ex- tend their works by securing the ap- proval ol the Interior Department,
 This report settled and stated, the attitude of the government toward the irrigation problems of the Imperial Valley, so far as definition of the rights of the various parties are con ,erned. In the meantime, the Recla-

 trouble to observe the trend of events, and that sooner or later every drop of water from the great water sheds of this stream and it's tributries will be con served and used for the reclamation of the arid lands and creation of homes for the million, is as certain as that time will bring greater national power and importance to our country.
 When the United States Reclamation Service was organized, and took up the great work of home building for which it was created, it found no greater asset turned over to it's hands than the Color ado river, nor one more involved in un- certainty, and com mplications regarding its use and availability for irrigation.
 This great stream, draining a water shed covering 225,000 square miles in the United States, comprising parts of the states of Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Colorado and California, and the terri tories of New Mexico and Arizona, has the greatest annual flow of any stream in arid America.
 As a consequence of its great water shed, the number of political divisions into which it is divided, and the num- Der and importance of it's tributaries, it can be readily seen what complex problem the nationalzing of this great stream presented. The waters of all the tributaries of the Colorado river are subject to appropriation and use under the local laws and customs of the various states and territories in which they are situated, and it is safe to assume that appropriations had been made, to some extent at least, from all these upper tributaries, under these state and terri torial laws, before the Reclamation Service ever took up the problem.
 The Service therefore found itself con- fronted at the outset with the cOmplica- ton presented by these prior appropria- tions on the tributaries of the Colorado, which, of themselves, called for careful adjustment and foresight and accumen of the highest order on the part of the Reclamation Service officials, in order that exact justice be done in each case, consistent with the broad principle of subsertience to the general welfare on which the national irrigation law is founded.
 Aside from these features of the prob lem, however, they found that in it's lower reaches the stream is navigable, and therefore under the control of the War Department. As further feature of the matter, the river passes out of the United States into the Republic of Mexico, and empties it's saffron flood into the Gulf of California, on alien soil, l having first, however, served as an international boundary between the two Republics for about thirty mics.
 Thus, it will be seen what varied and complicated features the problem of the standardization of this great stream presented, when the work was taken up by the Reclamation Service.
 It is known that progress has been made on all lines in solving these great problems, and from the headway that has been made, in less than three years

ENLARGING GERMAN
CAVALRY STRENGTH
Special Foreign Service

Special Foreign Service
BERLIN, April 1.-The clerical party
in the reichstag has given notice of
motion IN amendment of the new army
bill with regard to the proposed in
crease in the strength of the cavalry,
which was reflected at the first read
ing of the bill in committee. The
clerical amendment proposes that the
number of squadrOns may be increased
from 500 to $40, provided that the in
crease be effected during the period
from April 1, 1910, to the end of the
financial year 1912, instead of during
the course of the next five financial
years beginning April 1, 1905, as con-
templated by the bill. The clerical
party is willing to agree to the pro-
posed increases in the other arms of
the service by the end of the financial
year 1909.
Doubtless under the influence of the
apprehensions recently expressed by
the secretary of state for the imperial
treasury to the effect that the year
1906 would inevitably inaugurate a pc
Rod of economic depression, the cleri-
calls have, moreover, decided to incor-
porate a declaration to the effect that
it will not be possible to gauge the
financial consequences of the new army
bin until the estimates for the financial
year 1907 have been drawn up.

Exudes Wisdom on Tibet

Special Foreign Service
LONDON, April QUAINT informal
tion- concerning Tibet was plentiful in
the lecture by Perceval Landon at the
British academy this week. Perhaps
the most extraordinary notion existing
in Tibet is that a Tibetan goddess had
come to life again in Queen Victoria.
Mr.. Landon showed a picture of this
goddess, and stated that a Tibetan
had pointed out to him that the coun-
try was not invaded during the late
queens reign. Within two years of her
death, however, the expedition took
place.
Col Younghusband had an interview
with one of the Tibetan abbes which
illustrated the complete self-satisfac-
ton of the people. The able was
shown a gramophone and other exam
pies of the most recent efforts of Eu-
ropean and American science, but he
evinced no surprise. The able declar-
ed that the earth was shaped like a
leg of mutton and that Tibet occupied
more than half its entire area.

LONDON, April 1.-The greatly re-
duced crops which farmers reported
last year are attributed in the argicul-

ed form is the report on the yields Of
each crop:
Wheat-Smallest return recorded.

Father of Russian Reform"
Special Foreign Service

Special Foreign Service
PARIS, April 1.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Figaro states that
the soul of the liberal movement in
official circles having immediate access
to the car has been Mons. YermeIoff,
the minister of agriculture, who is
even described as the father of the
great Russian reform" This descrip-
ton is bestowed because Mons. Verne
loft was the only one who dared to ad-
dress the car with complete frankness
as TO the perilous state of things in
Russia. On Feb. Is he was for an
hour and half alone with the car
and spoke in eloquent terms, setting
before his majesty the various reasons
why he himself ought to take the lead
OF the liberal movement completing
the national emancipation. Nicholas
ii was profoundly impressed, and sent
Mons. Yermeloff to Mons. White to say
on his behalf that he was going to
study the question of convoking the
representatives of the nation. This
visit the Figaro describes as historical:
but, as has been seen. the car has
taken long time to make up his
mind
