Conquest q to. Great
American Desert


A rare day in June, three years ago,
was the 18th Of that month, the ami
versary of tho battle of Bunker Hill
and the birthday of the national irri-
CATION law, writes Guy r. Mitchell.
And the net result Of the latter, at the
beginning of the present fiscal year,
Is an irrigation appropriation OF $780,
100000, with an automatic revolving
law under which the fund is constantly
increasing through additions from the
s"les of Western public lands and the
repayment to the government by the
settlers of all expenditures for irriga-
ton construction.
The anniversary this year of Bunker
Hill-National Irrigation day was duly
celebrated In Nevada as in Boston, In
the former commonwealth at the
Truckee irrigation project in the pres
snce of party of distinguished United
States senator's and representatives, and
government of1lcials, who witnessed
the opening Of the first completed gov
eminent irrigation works and the turn
ing OF 100000 gallons of water per
minute into greaS government canal.
This ceremony meant a great deal
for the idea OF American home ma king
under national auspices. Fifty thou
sands acres received their first govern
ment irrigation--the finished portion
Of vast project for the reclamation
OF 350, 900 acres at a cost Of nine mil.
lion dollars, under the guidance OF L.
Fl. Taylor, federal reclamation en-
gineer for Nevada. Within ten years
the cost Of irrigating this 5o,00o-acre
tract-$1 $50, 000-will all have been
returned to the government by the set
tiers paying for the water rights in ten
annual installments, to be applied by
the government in the continuation of
the project. Tho possibilities of this
revolving irrigation fund are indeed
very great
Were there to be no addition to the
reclamation fund, Its present thirty
million dollars would eventually re-
claim the West. But with the large
yearly additions which have been COM
Ing In 1t is destined before many years
to reach the $1O0OO0,0O0 mark and
become vast fund for the redemption
Of Uncle Sans desert lands for settle

work than that Of making homes for

HIGGINS DEALS BODY BLOW
TO BIG INSURANCE COMBINE
NEW YORK April 3Governor Higgins has signed the bill
postponng of big companies and in
validating the proxies already given.

This is a measure in line with the
insurance reforms that have been un-
dertaken following the revelations OF
mismanagement of the big life insur-
ance concerns. 1t has been felt, after
what has been shown of the milking of
insurance company funds by specu-
lators, politicians and grafters gener-
ally that there was need for putting
new men in control.
The difficulty has presented itself,
however, that proxies had already been
given 10 the old ring managers. To
overcome this. it was necessary to
postpone the elections and invaIidate
proxies already given so that the re-
formers might get a grasp upon the
situation
The bill just signed by Governor
Higgins will legislate out of office on
November u next all the directors
and trustees of the New York Life
and Mutual insurance companies, and
nullifies all proxies heretofore secured
by the companies themselves and by
Thomas W. Lawson. Proxies to be
voted in the elections of November 10,

however, Chairman Robertson of the
Territorial Committee of the Republi-
cans, is ready with his suggestions for
changes of precinct boundaries. The
basis to which he has brought the dis
trict will undoubtedly give each voter
a chance to cast his ballot, the appor-
tionment being approximately ESQ

likelihood be adopted. There has been
no change of these precincts in four
years.
The Island of Maui is to be taken up
next by Governor Atkinson. In this,
the Third Representative District, there
have been various recommendations for
precinct changes received from Repub-
iicans. but none from either Democrats
or Home Rulers.
After Maui is disposed of, Hawaii
will be taken up. In the First district,

Act. Some changes have also been sug-

FOR COMING

New Precincts Are Laid
Out on Kauai and

After several days of hard work, Act
the changes in the Sixth Representa-
tive District, which embraces the
Islands of Kauai and Niihau. In the
meantime, and in the other islands,
there is much work to be done, and the
calling of conventions, and the nomina-
tion of candidates, draws on apace
The changes in the election precincts
has been necessitated by the passage of
the county act, and by the need for re-
adjusting the boundaries growing out
of the changes in the bases of popula-
tion. The party leaders throughout
the Territory, although some of them
have responded to the request of the
officials for suggestions for changes in
order to come as close as possible to the
desired base of $50 or 500 voters to
each precinct, have not responded as
quickly nor as fully as has been de
sired. And yet it is important to have
the changes perfected, in order that
each voter may know at the earliest
possible time where he is to cast his
vote-and be given the chance to do it.
This coming election will be the big
gest, in the number of candidates
voted for, that has ever been held in
the Territory and in some respects the
most complicated. In Honolulu, for in
stance, there will be sixty candidates
on the regular tickets. to say nothing
of outsiders. In the first place, there
will be thirty candidates for county
Offices Then there will be three can41
didates for Delegate, nine candidates
for Senator, and eighteen candidates
for Representative. And nobody knows
how many Independent candidates
there will be, nor how much crossing of
tickets will grow out of possible fusion
movements. The sixty candidates
merely allows for the three parties in
the field.
