Reservoirs in South Dakota.

The construction OF dams for water
storage is matter of great interest,
especially to those living in the west
ern part of the state. The state en-
gineer's office has received number
OF Inquiries concerning the require
ments for dam construction under the
present irrigation Code and, for the
information of those Interested, the
following statement is made.
Three general classes of dams are in
common use in South Dakota.
They may be classified as follows:
L. Dams across running streams.
These are usally intended for divert
ing the flow of the stream into canals.
bitches or fumes.
.. Dams for reclaiming desert lands.
These are used for storing flood waters
and are built across dry water courses
or draws.
B. Dams for watering live stock.
These are similar in most respects to
those in class 3.
All of these types of dams are for
the sans general purpose, viz: the ap-
preparation of water for beneficial use.
Section l, Chapter 132 of the Session
Laws of 1905 of South Dakota says:
"All waters within the limits of the
state from all sources of supply, not
navigable, belong to the public and
are subject to appropriation for bene-
fetal use.'
Section 10 of the same chapter says:
'Any person, association or corpora
ton hereafter intending to ACQUIRE
the right to the beneficial use of any
waters shall, before commencing any
construction for such purpose or be-
fore taking the same from any con-
structed works, make an application
to the state engineer for premit to
appropriate, in the form required by
the rules and regulations established
by him"
The matter of dams across dry
water courses on public lands was
taken up with the general land office
and the following statement, relating
more particularly to stock dams, was
received from the Acting Commission
er:
sit is assumed, of course, that the
construction of such dams shall con-
form with the laws of the state within
which they are located, the matter of
administration within the jurisdiction
of this department being limited to
the approval of maps carrying the
right of use to the land reserved"
1t is evident from the above that the
appropriation of water for beneficial
use within the state can only be legal
ly made through the state engineers
office
The state engineer will gladly fur
nish suggestions and advice, so far as
proper, when requested by those in
terested in obtaining water rights in
the state.

MAYOR SIGNS ORDINANCE
Franchise for Waterworks Company
Requires Only Acceptance
TO Be Effective,

Mayor E. NJ. Conroy yesterday after
noon attached his signature to the fifty
year franchise to the Ogden Waterworks
company. The franchise was passed by
the city council last Monday evening.
''The undersigned, appointed by the Real
Estate association to present reasons why
the franchise recently voted by the Ogden
city council to the Ogden Waterworks
company should not receive your APPROX
al, beg to offer the following:
"Efrst-The franchise is itself obJec-
tionabie in many respects. For instance,
ii increases the rate on five-room dwell
ing from $3.50 per year 70 $40 by simply
charging extra. for bath tub, water closet
and wash tub.
''Second-The manner of passing the
franchise is an Objectionable one. To pass
an ordinance granting a franchise of the
importance of this. involving a half mill
ion dollars, at one sitting or the city
council is an act that cannot be defended.
Such haste arOuSeS suspicion. There can
be but one explanation of this anxiety to
railroad this ordinance through with
limited amount of discussion, and that is
that the franchise will not bear discus
sion.
The city council, the servants of the
people, should not settle so important
matter as this without submitting it to
the citizens.
"Third-The most important reason why
this franchise should not receive the sig
people of Ogden desire to own the water
works themselves.
your honor knows, the city council
knows. every citizen knows, and every
child above the age of TO years knows
that the overwhelming majority of the
citizens of Ogden favor municipal own
ership of the waterworks.
There can be no ignorance of that fact.
Every political party has declared for it
for years; then why this willingness to
ignore the wishes of the people?
1.-The existing franchise gives the city
the right to purchase the waterworks;
the new franchise forever puts an end to
the hope for municipal ownership
why cannot Ogden be as successful
in managing public utilities as Brigham
City? That town of 1900 people owns its
own waterworks, its own irrigating sys-
TEN, its own electric light and power
plant. 1t has lately made contract TO
furnish electric light and power TO the
Ogden smelter 1t is stated that in a few
years the revenue derived from public
utilities will enable Brigham City 10 re-
duce the tax levy to a minimum.
THE city of Ogden, with vastly better
water and power facilities than Brigham
City has tamely submitted TO have them
pass into the hands of a corporation who
administer them for private profit instead
of the public good. If the officers of Og-
den City had faced this question courage
ously seventeen years ago the city would
now own its waterwOrks, the power plant
at the mouth of the canyon and its own
electric lighting plant. We would not
know the dickering with an Oregon cor
poration for enough water to keep our
business blocks from burning"

MAKES FOOL SPEECH

New Orleans, Aug. Am appeal by
Governor Vardaman of Mississippi to
white voters to select state legislators
who will vote to stop granting appropria-
lions for the education of negro children.
is reported from Brook Haven, where the
governor today addressed a farmers
meeting. Of the negro question in Wash
ingtOn. D. c., Governor Vardaman said
there is need of Jim Crow" law reserv-
ing certain seats for negroes in that city.
He said that southern congressman do not
propose the enactment of such a law be-
cause they are afraid of criticism. He
declared that if chosen to represent Mis-
sissippi in the senate he would offer such
bill at least once year. He said that
he would rather be instrumental in Sc
curing the repeal of the fifteenth amend
ment than to WELD the scepter of King
Edward of England.
