BIC WESTERN IRRIGATION PROJECT
under the separate system.

under the separate system.
This will permit the big ditch to
take about IS, 900 inches from the riv-
er, being sufficient to irrigate $4,000
acres of land. The Western Land &
Irrigation company itself will be pre-
pared to furnish 10000 acres of land
with water and the water will be avail
able for 10000 acres for this season.
Not an acre of land has been plac-
ed on the market by this company
since they acquired possession of the
Hinkle ditch project. Mr.. Messner
stated this morning that it was the
policy of his company to have the land
actually under cultivation or ready
for immediate cultivation before Of
fering II for sale. Some of this is
now in this condition and will be
placed on the market this coming
summer.
Messner says there are two reasons
for this policy. In the first place II
is much more satisfactory for the set
tier and at the same time will be
more profitable for the company.
With the consolidation of the ditch
es on the west side of the river the
three bitches remaining are the gov
ernment, the Furnish-Coe and the
Western Land & Irrigation company.

Youthful Carpetmakcr Is Appointed
to Staff of Connecticut's Governor

Parade-Appointment Said TO VIM
dicate Lilley-Youtb Not in Danger.

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 6.-Theodore
Roosevelt. jr., is today a full fledged
military officer, with the rank and
title of major. Clad In a gray uniform
with much gold braid, the son of the
president rode proudly in the van with
Governor Lilley's escort in the inaug-
ural procession, while the crowds
cheered the son of the president who
has added the profession of arms TO
the trade OF carpet-making. While
the appointment was announced some
time ago, II did not become fully effec-
tive until today.
AS Governor Lilley, when a MEM
ber of congress, was the central fig
ure in the submarine-boa scandal at
Washington and was subjected TO the
bitterest of personal attacks during
his campaign for the governorship,
his appointment of young Roosevelt
as an aid de camp was a great politi-
cal surprise.
The republican leaders insist that
President Roosevelt consented TO his
sons appointment, because of his wish
to indicate that he approved of Gov
ernor Lilley both personally and po-
litically. Many of the Taft leaders
were active opponents of Lilley in the
campaign.
The naming of Theodore, jr., is con-
sidered a victory for the governor,
both as an indication Of presidential
favor and because 1t is believed that
II will add social eclat to the armin-
istration.
AS an aide Major Roosevelt will
have no very onerous duties to per-
form, although he will be put to con-
siderable expense and must inure him.

What Will Be Done With Bill For
Liquor Case Detective-Many Road
Matters Will Come Up.

What will probably be the most
important term of county court for
the year 1909 was convened at the
court house this afternoon. Among
the important things demanding the
attention of the two commissioners
and the county judge are the fixing
of the tax levy, the disposal of the bill
incurred by the district attorney in
employing a detective to secure evil
dence against the violators Of the
prohibition law, the settlement of the
proposition to call in all district road
supervisors and appoint a general
supervisor for the county, the draw
ing of the jury for the January term
of court, the payment of bills and the
settlement OF various road matters.
While 1t cannot be known yet what
the tax levy will be it is believed by
those who have investigated the SUBJ
ject that it will require a levy of
something like ten mills 10 provide
the requisite amount of funds to carry
on the business of the county during
the coming year and pay the state
apportionment.
The question of better roads and
the supervisor question in particular
ia also of Importance. The members
of the good roads association are urg-
ing the calling in of all the district
supervisors throughout the county
and the appointment of a general
supervisor for the entire county.
They say this man should be some

and should be given more power

Witness for Government.

New York. Jan. 6.-That Edward
cific system, has a cinch upon the
country and controlling the rate sit
uation, may dictate as he wishes, was
the statement of Paul Morton, for
merly vice-president of the Santa Fe,
one of the defendant companies in
the governments suit to dissolve the
Hartman merger, and now president
of the Equitable Life.
"The situation" said Mr.. Morton,
"was apparently controlled by the.
Southern Pacific which controlled the
'ratemaking power"
as it your opinion" he was asked.
"that before the Union Pacific pur-
chased a large amount of Southern
Pacific stock the two roads we're In
competition2"
"I believe So" was the reply.
Mr.. Morton added that formerly
competition for San Francisco traffic
has been afforded by the 'boat lines
to San Francisco" and the Canadian
Pacific. Prior to 1901 tile Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific maintained
soliciting agents in the east.
On redirect examination, the wit
ness was asked whether the Sunset
route and the Union Pacific had not
competed for business under the "old
regime"
Yes" replied the witness "They
do now in New York"
"But their officers have been ANAL
gamated in Chicago?"
"Yes, the competition never
amounted to much there, anyway"
you've made rates yourself in the
old days without consulting any one,
have you not?" asked the government
counsel.
"Oh, no, have not. No one ever
published rates without consultation
with other roads in the traffic asso-
citation. l don't mean rates were nev-
er made secretly. All the companies
did that"
There was competition, them"
ut was illegitimate competition"
Mr.. Morton was still on the stand
when adjournment was taken until to-
