A DIRECTOR OF IRRIGATION.

Washington. April 1S.=In the
house today a bill was passed Great
ing in the department of interior a
director of the reclamation service
who is TO have a salary of $4,000 a
year. to be paid out of the reclama-
tion fund. Until the president ap-
points the director the present ofiici-
al designated by the secretary of
the interior shall have charge. His
salary of $500 year is increased
to $4,000 year.
One of the reasons for appointing
the director at this time is to give
the reclamation service legal sta
tus. From now on it is understood
the work will progress at a much
more rapid rate than heretofore.
The scarcity of labor in the North
west the increase in the price of ma
terials. and also the rate of wages
has caused great delay in carrying
out governmental reclamation pro-
jeets. This statement was made to
the house committee on irrigation of
arid lands today by N. II. Savage. di-

The Summer Shower.


How pleasant is the summer shower!
The big drops patter on the street
And lay the dust and freshen things
And help to chase away the heat;
The grateful grass lifts up It's head,
And as the gentle raindrops pour
Each blade proceeds to take a drink
And then starts in to grow some more.
The crops that had begun to be
Afraid they wouldn't quite mature
Feel 4-ealthy once again and say,
ITS great to take the water cure"
The lettuce and the onion bed.
The parsley and the cabbage stalk
Look pleasant ane wou l like to say,
I'VE thank you, sir" if they could
talk.
The eager urchin sheds his shoes
OF water he is not afraid
And hurries out between the drops
To find a dandy place to wade.
And even from their lowly beds
The angleworms begin to climb
That on the sidewalk they may stroll
To greet the rain in summer time.
Oh, yes; guess 1t makes it pretty poor
But still 1t seems to make hit
Unless you happen to be out
With no umbrella in your mitt.
Though while all nature is so glad
You do not have the heart to fret,
Still you would like it quite as well
Or better were 1t not so wet.

Newark, n. J., July 21-Testifying

Life Insurance company, said that in
ten years his company had expended
$70S for promoting or defeating legis-
lation. This, he said, was divided as
counsel fees and committee expenses
among ten states.
The witness said that his company
had never contributed a cent to cam
paign funds, and added that he would
be in favor of a law making it Grim
inal to make such a contribution, or
for officials to participate in any of
the financial transactions Of their re-
spective companies.

Thomas Taggart. president of the

denies the charges made by the latter
in his official letter to the hotel CON-

Bigler is important as showing that
the state is now operating against the
two hotel companies under the yolun-
tary association act of 1901. This is
probably the last chapter in the pres
ent developments ip the French Lick
Springs and West Baden cases. Pend
ing the appeal of the case to the SUI

are probably no more steps that the
