now in operation and sees on one
hand the desert covered with sage
brush and ,barrenness, and on the
other the water flowing over the fer
tile soil producing heavy crops of
grain, or orchards in fruit appre-
ciates to the fullest extent the bene-
fits of irrigation.
The people of the west, there
fore, who are familiar with these
wonderful results in irrigation, are
highly appreciative of the import
ance of the reclamation service, but
the great dificulty which that serv-
i've encounters is in finishing the
projects now undertaken as against
the clamer for diversion of the
funds to new fields. In this re-
spect the service has suffered in not
carrying to completion less num-
Der of projects than it is now en-
gagged in constructing.
The danger, which the govern
ment is undertaking to overcome, is
the establishment of small irriga-
ton projects in localities where by
such establishment the larger OPP
portunities are destroyed, thus pre-
venting enormous areas of lands
from ever acquiring the use of
water. 1t is quite true that many
small projects, capable of being
financed by men of limited means,
can be carved out of larger possi-
bilities, but to encourage them
means the loss of the larger posi-
bilities.
For lack of funds the govern
ment is at present often required
to surrender possibilities in water
appropriations which means an
enormous loss in future. development
of irrigation Works, and 1 fear this
is not fully appreciated.
1T is for this reason that at
times private enterprises are dis
posed to contend that the govern
ment is obstructing their interests,
when. instead, from the larger view,
their interests are obstructing
greater possibilities for larger areas
Of irrigable land. 1 may mention
here what has frequently occurred
to me as source of advantage both
TO the states and the federal gov
eminent, and that is the securing
from the various states of uniform
legislation in the matter of the APP
preparation of water and it's bene-
fetal use, and also legislation look
ing to the control and conservation
of all available water power.
Much of the nations wealth has
been accumulated by the destruc-
ton, by the sacrifice and waste of
natures gifts. and it is fortuitous.
circumstance. that the country has
been brought to understand the inn
portance of utilizing and saving our
natural wealth and making it pos
sible for the nation to continue to
prosper. For this reason, if for
no other, the work of reclamation of
the arid and semiarid lands of the
west is worthy or first Importance
in the development of the nations

~DRY FARMING CONGRESS-"

San Antonio. Texas, June 13- (special)--A Texas Dry Farming Con- gress will be held at Alpine in Septem- Der.
 The astonishing success made by the farmer using the scientific or dry farming methods in this part of the state during the recent dry spell has aroused a very wide spread interest in scientific agriculture. Not only the staple crops. but potatoes beets, onions and other vegetables were raised very successfully In San Antonio in the period from January to May. which was the driest this country has ex- perienced in twenty years. As 1t has been demonstrated that crops can be raised on as low as eight inches of rainfall in the arid West, and as this country never gets less than from eighteen to twenty inches, 1t Is demon strated that by proper cultural methods there need be no failures.
 As q result of these experiments San Antonio will make an effort to secure the International Dry Farming Con- gress for the year 1910. The General Government is arranging to send out lecturers with stereopticon views to educate the farmer, and the state Is experimenting this work with bulIe- tins and pamphlets
 It Is believed that this campaign of education will double the crops in the San Antonio country.

WILL DISPOSE OF THE
 CAZALAS PREPARING

[ The. -cail of the. second division of counties will be attended to this week by the Supreme Court and then the Justices are expected to be only in consultation until the summer is over. The Second division call Is the last of the November. 1908. term and em- braces the following counties: Bibb, Choctaw. Dallas. Greene, Hale, Maren- go, Perry, Sumter and Wilcox.
 It is almost certain that this week the Supreme Court will dispose of the application for a rehearing in the Ca zalaS impeachment case, which was filed the latter part of last week. It will take but @ short time to give the reconsideration that Is asked by coun- sel for the deposed sheriff and besides 1t is practically admitted that the Gov ernor Is waiting until the final dispo- sition of the case before he appoints cagalas's successor. This is to avoid any confusion in the event the court should reverse itself. No rumor has stirred yet dlsputing the probability of John s. Drago, of Mobile, getting the appointment.

tainly have been made before this, and although Senator Bradley and the three Republican Representatives In the House from Kentucky were anx- ious for action nothing could be done for the aspiring ones when they vis- tied Washington with regularity. and all the satisfaction that could be given them was that nothing would be done until after the tarsn bill was passed by Congress. The powers that be. however. were then figuring that Con- gress would certainly adjourn somewhere about June 90, which was the date that President Taft had count ed on in mapping out in his mind plans for his summer trips. If that arrange ment could have been brought about t Is said that the President hoped to De able to name c number of collectors of internal revenue SO that the changes might be arranged at the end of the fiscal year
 Now. with Congress in session and no definite date for the adjournment 1t may be that the question of appoint ments will be delayed for several months. but not if certain Republican Senators and Representatives can pre- vail upon the head of the nation to act before he starts on his trip to Seattle.
 The surest test as to how the Hooss- welt referees In Southern States stand with the Taft administration will be when appointments are made that they have been trying to manipulate 90 that present .incumbents may be busted and their own henchmen put in their places. That Is going to tell the tale.
 The prevailing impression in politi- cal and legislative circles at this writ Ing Is that nearly if not ali of the Rooaevelt referees are going to he thrown overheard by the Taft ad- ministration.
 The President Is reported to have in- tfmated pretty strongly that if his par ty is ever to make gains in Southern States which now have no Republicans In Congress 1t will be necessary for him to have a new deal. And this. too, in the face of the fact that reports are being industriously circulated by interested ones that Postmaster Gener- al Hitchcock is going to stand by the old crowd.

NEW CATTLE FLY.

Huntsville. June 13-(Special) Cat tie men are becoming worried over the appearance of peculiar shaped fly that has made its appearance in the low pasture lands.
 The fly Is not the ordinary kind that worries cattle, but is much larger and longer The sting or bite causes large welts and drives a COW or other anil mai almost frantic. Several specimens of the new insect have been brought to Huntsville and no one seems to know its origin.
 A person stung by these flies suffers as severely as from 6 wasp or bee sting.
 Several of the flies will be sent to the Agricultural Department in Wash ington to ascertain just what they are.

Girl. Co on Strike .

4 strike of white waitresses at Ho- tel Escambia occurred today at noon, but within thirty minutes afterwards their places are filled and the guests served without delay.
 The trouble was over the change of stewards a new man having recently been imported, and upon him the wait resses vented their rage.
 The steward was in the store room when confronted by the young woman and in answer to one of the question he replied rather tartly. This enraged the waitresses who standing near some egg cases, seized the eggs and pelted the steward until he was a streaming mass of yellow and white. {,
 It was then that the, proprietor came to the rescue.
