possible that adjacent lands
shall be irrigated; but careful
of that portion of
the river lying between Nevada
and the Gulf of California have
thrown new light upon the
possibilities of the great desert
regions adjacent to its lower
courses.
The Colorado river, indeed, in
many respects bears a striking
resemblance to the Nile. Like
the Nile, it rises in distant
mountainous country, its lower
courses traverse a subtropical
and nearly rainless desert, and
both rivers empty into great
landlocked arms of the ocean at
a little less than 81 deg. north
latitude Like the Nile, the
Colorado has for a long distance
along it's lower courses created a
narrow ribbon of fertile soil in
the midst of the desert through
which it flows, and has deposited
3 great alluvial delta adjacent to
its mouth. This delta, in the
case of the Colorado, is partly
Mexican territory. Like the
great river of Egypt, the Colo
rado is subject to an annual sum
mer rise, sufficient to overflow
great areas of it's border and
delta lands. These high waters
are rich. in fertilizing sediment,
are exceptionally free from
alkaline salts, and come at an
time fer irrigation.
Although the climate conditions
in winter are slightly more severe
in the Colorado delta than in that
of the Nile, yet these two regions
resemble each other
agriculturally. Some common
products are, or may be, alfalfa,
wheat and grains of the sorghum
class; the date palm, fig, orange,
olive and pomegranate, cotton,
and sugar cane.
Value of the Water.
In view Gifts agricultural re-
semblaneez to Egypt, in which
latter country it is stated that
farming pays better than any.
where else in the world, the
public is naturally interested in
the river on which this new
Egypt must depend. The results
Of an exhaustive examination of
the waters of the Colorado for
irrigation are a revelation as to
the intrinsic value of this great
stream for agricultural purposes.
In the first place, the water sup
ply which may in course of time
be utilized from this river is
sufficient to irrigate all
5he land which is adjacent and
available. The fragmentary data
is yet available relating to the
amount of water delivered by
;he Colorado river indicate that
his stream delivers about 10,
700, ZOO acre feet of water an
lually, sufficient to irrigate near
y 4, 100000 acres of land. Unlike
he smaller rivers of the South
vest, the Colorado, because of
is great length and its immense
watershed, gives at all times a
great stream of water, varying |
rom q minimum of about 1000 |
second feet in January to about
70, 900 second in June, the larger
supply being available during
he warm season when growing
:rops must require the water.
FertiIizing Sits.
Ofspecial interest to the farmer
re the fertilizing silts carried
~ this turbid stream. Analyses
nade during the year of OBJ
ervation show that the silts
aried from minimum of sixty {
wo parts of sediment in 100, 900

nuch as 374 parts during the

FOR CABINET OFFICERS
Any Civil Service Employee Can be Re-
moved Without Hearing.
Amendment to the Civil Service Rules
is Important and Far Reaching.
Cabinet Officers Will Have Practi
cally Unlimited Power as to the Per-
sonnet of Their Departments.

Washington, October 17.-An amend
ment to the civil service rules, sweep
ing and comprehensive in it's chardc-
ter, vas authorized today by President
Roosevelt. Hereafter, a cabinet officer
will have power to remove summarily
and without hearing any civil service
employee in his department who, to the
personal knowledge of the head Of the
duct, or who is inefficient in the per-
Torrance of his duties. President Roos-
evelt issued the following executive or
der, embodying the terms of the new
regulations:
When the President or head of an
executive department is satisfied that
an officer or employe in the classified
service is inf1cient or incapable, aud
that the service will be materially i'm
proved by his removal, such removal
will be made without hearing; but
the cause of removal shall be stated in
writing and filed. When misconduct
is committed in the view and presence
of the President or head of executive
department, removal may be summar-
lily and without notice..
The subject was brought directly to
the attention of President Roosevelt
recently by the misconduct of a chauf-
feur of one of the government autoEo-
biles. The driver of the auto piloted
his machine directly in the way of
the Presidents carriage and seemed
to take delight in cutting his out of
the road.
When the President learned who the
Chauffeur was, he said he ought to be
discharged as incapable of operating
the machine. The amendment author
lied today is one of the most impar-
tant and far-reaching made to the
civil service rules in many years. 1t
confers upon cabinet officers practical
ly unlimited power as to the personnel
of their departments.
A head of a department may dis
charge an employee for misconduct Or
inefficiency, with the simple state
ment to the civil service commission
that the misconduct or i~neficiencv is
a subject of his personal observation.
The discharged emr.nye will have no
recourse.
