SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
WASHINGTON, Sept 3-Army cir
cles are considerably worked up over
the definite understanding that the
President will appoint Captain John j.
Pershing of the Fifteenth Cavalry to
the rank and grade of brigadier gen.
eral when General Corbin retires, on
September 15-
Pershing recently married a daughter
of Senator Warren of Wyoming, the
chairman of the Senate committee on
military affairs, and has a social and
political pull that is the envy Of the
entire army. What worries army off,
GERS in connection with the expected
elevation of Captain Pershing is the
fact that If he receives his general's 8
star he will be jumped over the heads
of 257 captains. s64 majors, 131 lieu
tenant colonels and 100 colonels, or a
total of S62 officers of the line and staff
who are his seniors.
This Is a bigger leap, than was made
by General Mills OF the military
academy when he was promoted from
captain to brigadier general These
stupendous promotions always have a
demoralizing influence on the army.

that the action regarding election of

In pursuance of this the first effect

DON'T TINKER WITH ACT.
How wide this field of endeavor is
and how great the harvest may be
imagined when we reflect that the
Reclamation Service already has sur
veyed and approved reclamation enter
prises that will involve the expendi-
ture of a round hundred million dol
lars, whereas the estimate total for
the reclamation fund by the end of
1908 is only s41.00o.00o. Montana alone
is said to be awaiting the expenditure
of a hundred million dollars in this
work, but two hundred millions will
not adequately reservoir the Western
slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains
of California. There is not the small
est need that private and govern
mental enterprise shall get in each
others way in reclamation work, or,
what Is equally important, that private
enterprise should sit idly down on
some arid plain and do nothing worth
while in the hope that the Reclama-
ton Service will presently come along
and do it's work for 1t.
II perceive, too, that our friends of
the South would like to share our re-
volving fund in the reclamation of
the swamp and marshy lands of our
southern coasts, not to speak of the
everglades of Florida. l trust that
they will not be in hurry to break
In upon our irrigation enterprises. /
venture to hope that they will let our
revolving fund revolve long enough at
least to grow unwieldy. 1t may some
time grow so large that it's very bulk
will embarrass the department in its
efficient management, but that is not
yet
Gentlemen Of the National Irriga-
tion Congress. my heart is with you
in this stupendous undertaking, and II
1 were with you In person my advice
would be, Don't tinker with the re-
reclamation service. but be steadfast
and go forward until reclamation has
proven, by the completion of a
number of irrigation works, that
1t Is, as we know 1t will be. sue
cess any modification of the present
plan of procedure will open up the
way to numberless notifications. And
this will result in disaster to the whole
enterprise. Let your motto be, Hold
fastr"
COMPLAINTS ARE VOICED.
Charles d. WoIcott, director of the
reclamation service, discussed The Re-
lation of Government Reclamation

That the Government reclamation
service has been unable to satisfy all
sections of the West was evident as
shown by delegates from Arizona
Utah and Washington, who piled
Messrs wolcott and Newell with ques-
tions in relation to irrigation projects
In every instance the complaint was
that the Government has abandoned
or had failed to take up irrigation pro-
jects after investigation.
