during such times considerable watel
 can be diverted into the canal through the old head. There Is now two feet , of water flashing against the old head gate. but it will not flow in on account I of the sand in the ditch and if it did would run out again at the break Water users should not conclude that | this therefore is the extent of the Ie-
 pairs needed. for it would give them water only in flood time. The canal though must be repaired some time. and by doing it first. it Is quite possible good irrigation can be secured by the farmers before the headworks are available.
 It is assumed that readers interested are sufficiently well posted to know in a general way. the conditions at the
 head, without too much explanation at
 this time as the facts have been re- peatedly published. and there are other
 things to mention now.
 The meeting yesterday was presided over by President Frank T. Alkire. A report of conditions was made and the breaks in the system were shown on a large map made for the occasion. Brief ly, this showed in addition to what has been alluded to. that the upper 2000 feet or more of the Extension had been fill ed up and obliterated, that the rock dam constructed at the heading was practically intact, except at one end. but that the flood Is still pouring over It and around it. so that in the event of repairs 1t would have to be made long CT and the upper 2OOO feet or more of ;he ditch would have to be reconstruct ed.
 Superintendent McDermott reported on all these facts. He also announced that Contractor Collins and himself had looked over the suggested further extension of the canal a half mile up the river to a water level heading. The expense of this was deemed far greater than other and better plans and it was abandoned. The preferable plan. fav- ored by the entire management, and be- lieved also to be the cheaper, is the building of another entirely new dam. referred to above. II was the belief therefore of the management. and of the superintendent. that concerning .ev- erything above the site of the projected new dam. all should be considered lost except honor-that never. for though the upper works are now of the past. they have served their purpose we'll and the chapter IS closed without prejudice. It is thought now that it would have been better to have chosen the lower site in the first place. but it was not done and the upper site did furnish the needed salvation in its day. Two plans were considered practicable now One is to repair the system as it was before. and the other was the new dam. Superintendent McDermott sub mitted an estimate on each plan. as prepared by Contractor Collins and

Furthermore, it should be noted that this plan shortens the Extension to 500 feet from 5000 or more and what is left is most of the way through solid rock. Another saving is in respect of seepage. for last summer about half the water diverted into the canal was lost by seepage in the long reach across the sand bar.

MILES DELIVERS ADDRESS
TO A GRADUATING CLASS

BOULDER, Colo. June General
Miles delivered the address to the
graduating class of the University of
Colorado today. His subject was Our
Country and the Responsibilities and
Possibilities of It's Citizens" and he
elaborated on the suggestion that the
destiny of the nation was now more
than ever in the control of the citizens.
The three requisites of good citizen
ship are intelligence, character and
patriotism he said Every time a
citizen fails to exercise his right to the
franchise he commits reasonable and
unpatriotic act. Every office holder
who devotes his time and attention to
personal interests or to securing. his
own selfish purpose is false to his du-
ties as a representative of the people
This republic must continue on it's
march of progress or it must lapse
into decay by the acts of its own citi-

ATTACKING THE CITY.

The spirit Of faut-fnding, unjust criticism and
personal attack to which The Call has frequently
directed attention of late seems to be increasing
rather than diminishing 1t is unfortunate for the
city. it may do US considerable harm and GER
tainly does no good.
The Mayor, acting upon a wise suggestion re-
Gently issued address to the world in which he
made statement Of the true condition of affairs
IN San Francisco It's intention to correct many
erroneous impressions regarding the local situation
which have become current in other parts of the
country, and to show capital that it could find in
San Francisco abundant opportunity for safe and
profitable investment. It's tone was cheerful and
optimistic, and reasSuring proclamation by the
head of the municipal administration was valu
able and important document and the right thing
at the right time.
On the very heels of If, however, follows a most
vicious personal attack upon the Mayor and his
public statement, sandering the former and sneer-
ing at the latter It's effect evidently SO desired
which the Mayor invites, and in which invitation
San Francisco untes and cause distrust wherever it
Is read. Indeed it almost advises capital to keep
away from San Francisco where, to quote its very
words, the Mayor, ''by cooperating with the
thieves, by advertising his purpose to stand in with
looters of public property, has done the city an
injury whose extent is not easily calculated. He

East so prodigiously magnifes, but they will ask
why they should also take the risk OF rotten govern

Now, this is wrong First, it is not true. Sec
ond it is working directly against the urgent ne
cessities Of the city The Mayor, on behalf OF the
citizens of San Francisco is trying to induce capital
to come in here and assist in the restoration, and
this slanderous and marplot element is hanging
like milestone around the citys neck, Stacking its
limbs putting ball and chain around its ankle and
impeding its progress merely to crafty its spleen
and accomplish political design Such course
is public incubus and such element public
enemy We need cooperation, not mternecne
strife; commendation, not SANDER; assistance not
opposition. The whole campaign of fault-fnding
and abuse is extremely harmful to San Francisco
and should be condemned by the whole community.

SAN FRANCISCO WILL
BECOME GREATER CITY

To the Editor of The Call:
After the great Chicago fire ire 1871
thousands of people moved away from
the stricken city There was an exodus
to neighboring States. where refugee
families settled on farms to begin life
anew and never to return. But new
people came to settle and live and do
business in Chicago, and Chicago grew
and grew and grew-to become in COM
paratively few years one of the worlds
greatest cities.
We see similar exodus from San
Francisco individuals and families are
moving away, some temporarily, many
no doubt never to return for permanent
residence or business. But this will
little affect the future of San Fran
cisco: For each one that goes many
will come, and San Francisco will grow
and grow and grow to be one of the
worlds greatest and most prosperous
cities. Then in the years to come many
who will have gone will sincerely re-
gret that they did hot remain, while
those of us who "stay right here" will
deem it one of our prodest boasts to be
able to say that we have lived in the old
and the new San Francisco.
