the bags slowed away two little Japs and big

At this point twenty senators were on the
floor trying to get recognition of the chair.

This was followed by two long statements

Then followed brisk debate between these
three into which Hale and Teller thrust

Senators Spooner and Bailey made pessfm-

two systems are adopted, the furrow and

common, consists in blowing burrows be

water brought to the orchard either by
pipes or In canal, is allowed to flow gently

oughly saturated later and what is be-
lieved by many TO be better method, Is
the basin system. This consists in hollow

each of these basins the water Is made to

the water does not come in contact with

How Some Leaks, Grow

Some years ago Gen. Grosvenor was a
member OF the committee On r.ye-s and mar
bors of the House, and this story Is told or
how he accommodated newspaper friend
In those days there was stronger pressure
than at present among the correspondents
to get the advance items In the river ana
harbor bill. so that every man who had a
friend on the committee was expected 20
LAY down" on him and get the different
items The year Of which this story IS
told the committee usual tied Itself Up
and agreed that it would not make any fea-
lures public until the bill was reported 10
the House. But as usual some members

cured the Pacific coast items and one or
two other large items enough to make II
appear that the bill vas getting OUT These
items were turned over TO man who knew
Gen. Gresyenor well aud the battle began.
The general d!d not want 20 give up" but
the newspaper msn was persistent pointing
out how nearly every other man on the
committee had taken care OF his friends.
and that X was not right for the general
to allow his friends TO get lef-. The out
come was that The young man got ms
items in the bill and enough to help out all
his friends who were in the plot
The next morning there was a stormy
meeting in the committee on rivers and
harbors Gen. Grosvenor opened the bali
with a denunciatton Of those who made
much a pretense OF secrecy ana Yet gave
out everything pertaining to their sections.
He said that the main features OF the
bill, we'll as whole sections. had been
made public. and he knew they were accu-
rate because the newspaper men had
shown him the figures. The committee had
seldom received such a lecture as Gen
Grosvenor gave them, and a few who had
been guilty Of tipping OFF, few items 10
friends regretted that they We're not as

sentative. They resolved to follow In his
footsteps in the future, ana many of them
