There was a triple meeting of irri- gators yesterday in the offices of the Water Users association. The com mittee of sixteen, which nearly year ago formulated a report of its deliber- atiOns, met first and perfected some slight amendments to the report print ed months ago, and which most irri- gators are familiar with. This report was then formally turned over to a meeting of the council of the Water Users association by which body the committee was appointed.
 The council adopted the report and passed it along to the board of govern DTS of the Uater Users association, the action of the council being best de- scribed in the following letter of trans initial to the board:

WORK AT ROOSEVELT
 DAM CONSTRUCTION
Contractor O'Rourke Who is Visiting
 Phoenix Says the Work is Progress
 ing Satisfactorily. Needs Skilled Men.

Contractor O'Rourke came down from Roosevelt yesterday and will be in Phoenix a couple of days before re- turning to the basin. MT. O'ROurke was seen last evening and said that the work of construction of the big dam was proceeding very satisfactor- fly and is being pushed just as fast as possible. The weather is good and about 13O men are now employed. Ad- vantage is taken of every opportunity to drive the work before it shall be interfered with by flood waters for it is almost too much to hope for, that the floods will hold off as long as he would like them to. However, every stroke that is done now counts and eV
 cry rock that is placed Iessens by that much the possible damage that might be done by a flood. It will be some months yet, probably next year, be- fore there can be anything like com plete immunity from flood waters, though after the upper face is carried to water level and the rest of the site has been covered by foundation stones. the possible damage will be slight.
 The question might be asked by those not familiar with conditions, why

larger force is not employed but the answer is that every man IS now at work who can be used to advantage, though from this hour forward. men will constantly be added. In eXplana- ton Of this answer it is necessary to describe somewhat of the details of the situation.
 In the first place. it is well to state one thing that has not hitherto been printed and that is, that the channel, often mentioned, being cut in the bed rock formation, is not to stop at the two ends Of the dam site, as the aver age reader might suppose. The pur- pose of cutting this channel is two fold. First. it is to securely anchor the dam not "on" the bedrock, but "in' it. Secondly, and what is still more inn pOrtant it is to insure against seep- age. The engineers are not fearful, but that the dam would restrain the weight of the water if it were merely laid on the bed rock but if there should be creviCes between it and the bedrock it might en- courage seepage beIow that might weaken it and it is to avoid that. that the dam proper is to be imbedded into the solid formation. For the very same reason the channel when it reaches what might be known as the ends of the site, is not to be discon- tinued. but will proceed up the noun tain on either side to. or near the ends of the top of the dam. The dam will curve up the river a little, but the channel. while crossing the bed in a practically straight line. does so at something Of an angie. owing to the formation of the bedrock. The result of this is that at or near the south

Texas Talks Straight.

Austin. TeX.-ln consequence Of the development of yellow fever in Louis jana. State Health Officer Tabor has wired Thornwall Fay, vice president of the Southern Pacific, to notify all con- ductors in that road not to pass any body from infected points into Texas. He emphasized the fact that if this or der was lived up to he would not put oa a general quarantine.
 He also wired Dr. Irion of the Louis iana Board of Health that if he could give him assurances that every pre- caution was exercised in handling the disease he would not establish state quarantine. Unless he can get this as surance, however. he will put up the bars at once. Dr. Tabor awaits fur ther intelligence from both parties be fore acting finally.
 Little ROck.-Dr ]. P Runyan, presi- dent of the Arkansas State Board of Health, states that no steps will be taken at present toward establishing any kind of a quarantine in Arkansas,
 
 of yellow fever at New Iberia, La.
 "As I am the only member of the state board in the city" said Dr. Run- van, T do not know what other mem bers of the board might wish to do, but there is no necessity for any ac- ton at this time. l will, of course, watch the situation in Louisiana and if there should be any spread of the dis ease to such all extent that there would be any danger here l will call meeting of the board. so that proper steps may be taken. The board has no money and could do little at preesnt, if it desired. Of course, if there should be any real danger. We would take the necessary action to protect the state, feeling that the money would be forth coming in some way. At present, how eyer. there is no danger, and no req son for any action being taken"

THE YELLOW PLAGUE

 AT NEW IBERIA, LA.
But Authorities Are Alert. and Will Watch the One Case With Careful

New beria.-A case of yellow fever has been discovered here. and immedi. ateIy the local health authorities took steps to isolate the patient. who is a negro. The State Board of Health was notified and Dr. Irion, president of that board, has arrived here to take charge or the situation. It was decided to tumigate every house in the city and to make an immediate campaign against mosquitoes.
 Little alarm is felt by the inhabi. tants of New Iberia, and there has been no exodus from the city.
 Quarantines have not been imposed but temporarily indiscriminate travel To and from the town will be prohibit ed. Last year there were 1G cases of fever here. but it was of very mild type of fever The doctors think the present case not a recrudescence of the fever of last year. It was proba- bly imported from some point along the gulf coast

 Birmingham Ala.-A special from Jackson, Miss, says that Dr. J. F. Hunter, secretary Of the Mississippi State Board of Health. said that there is no necessity for a state quarantine against Louisiana on account of the single case of yellow fever at New Iberia.

RuSsia's Weeks Work.

St. Petersburg.-Lastw week statistics show that 5S officials were murdered and 43 wounded in Russia proper: that 90 bomb depots were discovered. that six safes were rifed of money and 63 persons were robbed. These official figures do not take in account the pill laging in the country, nor do they give the number of military executions or arrest of agit!tors, and there are no figures showing the number of persons sent into exile.
 The St. Petersburg Gazette says that 2.30O persons w1re banished on Satur day from St. Petersburg alone, and that 750 were placed on trains bound for the interior. Prefect of Police von Isunitz has declared his intention ot clearing the capital of "all vagabonds.' '

Washington D. C.. August 20th.-A determined effort will be made at the next session of congress to prevent another appropriation for the free dis tribution of common garden seeds. Congress now eXpendS $242 900 year in giving away the commonest varie- ties of peas, beans, turnip, squash and pumpkin seeds. They are divided into 40, 0,000000 packets so that the packets cost about half cent each. But as a large part of the appropriation is expended in clerk hire, packeting the seed, etc, the actual value Of the seed in packet is much less than half a cent. These packets are put up in packages of five packets. the total cost of the packages being about two cents each and they are purchas- able anywhere at five cents Each member of congress gets 12,0o0 such packages, which he distributes to the voters of his district.
 The farmers say that these pack ages contain so little seed as to be of no value to them, while the total ap-  out really rare and valuable seed, or in maintaining national agricultural college, or divided among the state agricultural colleges. would be of i'm nsnse value to the farming interests. They therefore protest against the Naate of public money. The seeds men claim that as congress has al- ready expended s5,00o,00 in giving away turnip and watermelon seed, it Is time it should give away saws, axes or hoes and give the seed trade a rest. Those who believe that congress should cut off this perquisite of it's members now used for political pur- poses, are writing their senators and representatives, urging them to abol- | ish the free seed distribution, and the National Grange, many state and local granges, horticultural, agricultural and other societies are adopting reso- lutions conforming it. Mr William Wolff Smith, of Washington, D. C., has been selected to represent the oppo- sition to the congressional free seed distribution, and is personally answer ing all inquiries concerning the same.

Paper Is Road Material.

The impetus recently given to high.
way improvement has been accom-
panied by many interesting expert
ments conducted with a view to ascer-
tanning the most desirable material to
employ in roadmaking. a great deal
of useful knowledge has been attained
in this way, and ultimately the public
in general and the taxpayer In partic-
ular will be the gamer, as the result
must tend toward economy and eff
iciency. In the vicinity of Rochester.
N. Y, the road builders have been
testing the virtues of gravel. used in a
manner differing from old methods
and suggested by engineers who have
carefully studied the matter. Former
ly gravel was found unsatisfactory as
a roadmaking material, and its use
has been largely condemned. The en-
Sineers in question say it has not been
fairly treated, and they are attempting
to demonstrate the truth Of their; state
ment. But the engineers go still
farther, states thesTroy-Times, and as
sert that good roads can be made by
proper use Of any of the materials
found in the vicinity of highways, thus
obviating the procurement of the right
substances at a, distance. For in
stance, they produce a mixture the
basis Of which is the sand, clay or
loan found at any roadside, and by
mixing 1t in a certain way produce
what they affirm to be satisfactory re-
suits. But, while sand. clay or loan
may be the base, in reality a far more
novel substance is brought into play
nothing more nor less, in short, than
paper pulp. . The account says the
other materials are ''mixed with the
cheapest kind of wood pulp taken
from the mills, just as it was ready to
go to the paper machines" The
earthly substances thus amalgamated
make a dressing for roads which, the
engineers say, is Incompatible for
smoothness and durability. and which
can be supplied at moderate cost.
Wonderful things have been done with
| paper of late, but even with this *
perience in mind the making of paper
roads comes as a rather startling in-
noyation.
