\ HERE has just been completed
in western Colorado the most
spectacular irrigation enter

in western Colorado the most
spectacular irrigation enter
prise the world has ever
known. This is the new Gunnison
tunnel. which is to be opened by Presi-
dent Taft this fall. For four years
two gangs of men. two miles beneath
the summit of a mountain, have been
tearing their way toward each other.
Drawing all kinds of obstacles and
with death lurking near, they have
slowly drawn together. and recently,
after terrific explosion. there was
cheering that echoed to every corner
of the Uncompahgre valley. 1t sig
nified that the Gunnison tunnel, said
to be the longest underground water
way in the world, was practically fin
ished and that the dream of ten years
had been realized.
The Uncompahgre project, as it is
called, is the first of the great irriga-
ton systems started by the reclama-
ton service to be completed, and it
enterprises begun by the government,
according to the amount of acreage to
be reclaimed. The project will reclaim
thousands of acres of the finest fruit
land in the world-land that has been
awaiting the magic touch of water to
blossom with crops that will pay the
fortunate farmer better than the aver
age gold mine. This land now looks
dry and sandy, and the thin growth of
sagebrush which covers most Of 1t
seems to have hard struggle for ex-
istence, but year from today it will
blossom like garden.
A few brief facts will give the read
er some idea of the size Of the Gun
nison tunnel and just what is expected
of it: Six miles of concrete tunnel, the
longest underground waterway in the
world, will transfer water from the
Gunnison river to the Uncompahgre
valley. Twelve miles Of canal, with a
greater cross section than the Erie

River and Northwestern railroad,
which is fast nearing completion. His
success in this enterprise has been at
tanned solely by concentration, faith
fulncss and ability. Mr.. Eccles began
his railroad career in the employ of
the Chicago and Alton railroad as a
ticket agent and telegraph operator.
That was in 1870, and from that time
70 the present day he has always been
closely identified with railroad interests

western railroad runs Il distance of 26O

made a fortune. he has been active
in politics for many years. Twice he
was sent to the Minnesota legislature,
in 1892 and 1894, and in his second
term was elected speaker without all
opposing vote. From 1901 to 1905 he
was governor of Minnesota, and a
good story is told of him while he
was in this Office.
One day he received letter from a
constituent asking for an appointment
to political office. The letter said:
81 want to be an officeholder. l am
not very particular as to the office.
Anything within your power to confer
will do-any old thing left over"
This SO amused the governor that he
at once made out a commission ap.
pointing the applicant a notary public
and charged him So for it.

Mrs. Rexford gave a scream and
leaped at the burglar, striking him

This so frightened the man that he

William Loeb, Jr., collector of the
port of New York, through his marine
police patrol is stopping effectively the
bringing ashore at piers of small ar
ticles which are not on the manifest.
These in most cases are brought over
by passengers as presents for friends,
for their own use ashore or perhaps
as a modest speculation. The guard
ing of the piers formerly was very lax,
and so this constant stream Of dutiable
articles flowed into port without the
payment of revenue. The customs
men estimate that the close watch
fulness of Collector Loeb in stopping
this practice means a saving of thou
sands of dollars each month to the
government.

1t is Mayor Lees desire, judging by
his actions last night, to be conscien-
tious in his work as mayor. May he
be saved from his advisors, or at
least some of them. The mayor ex-
ercised his right to vote last night
only when he was entitled to do so.
Action after action taken by the
council last night stands with its
legality olouded. Every man elected
to office on aye or nay vote and every
many declared elected when he only
received four votes. has no legal hold
on his office judging by the language
of the statues of Colorado. At Camp
bell and Magill's behest several selec-
tions of officers were made by aye
and nay votes yet the law provides
that the elections shall be by ballot
The law provides that each officer
chosen must receive a majority OF
the whole council yet men were de-
ciared elected last night who only
received 4 votes when votes is
majority of votes.
IL looks like Campbell, the great
motion maker and shut-out expert,
was willing to act Illegally in order
to gain momentary triumph. Here
is the law or statutes, not an import
ant section of which has been chang
ed by later law:
"On the passage or adoption of ev-
cry bylaw or ordinance, and every
resolution or order to enter into con-
tract by any council or board of trus-'
tees of any municipal corporation.
the yeas and nays shall be called and
recorded; and to pass or adopt any
bylaws, ordinance, or any such reso-
luton or order, n concurrence of
majority of the whole number of
members elected TO the council or
board of trustees shall be required;
all appointments OF officers by any
council shall be by ballot. and the
concurrence of like majority shan
be required and the names of those
who voted, and the vote each candi-
date received upon the vote resulting
in an appointment shall be record
ed. section 4445, Mills Annotated
Statutes.
The law is plain as day. That
quoted above stands today unrcpcal-
ed and In full force and effect and
yet, acting under the advice OF Ats
toiney McClintock, the Campbell ard
Magill combination violated this law
in practically every provision and as
result every official selected last
night by aye or nay vote, every Of
ficial receiving only 4 votes is not
legally elected and his right to per-
form the duties of the office to which
