Big Irrigation Enterprise.

AN irrigation SCnene is Oelng
started on Rogers Mesa which
will mean the expenditure of
many thousands of dollars and an
increased production of wealth for
that section of our North Fork.
1t is in the form of cooperative
pumping plant which will lift
water from the river and which
will furnish water for the entire
lower end of that mesa which
heretofore has been somewhat
sparse:y watered.
AT the head of the enterprise
are some of the most wealthy and
influential of the ranchers and
they are not going into the en-
terprise blindly. They have had
their engineer working on the
plans all winter and he has made
many surveys and at this time it
is thought the scheme has been
brought to practical basis. Be-
ginning a short distance above
the Doughty Springs ditch will
be taken out which will be large
enough in carrying capacity to
furnish water for the development
of great horsepower. Immense
turbines will be installed and in
all probability a series of huge
centrifugal pumps will lift the
water a distance OF about one
hundred and twenty-five feet
where bitches will carry it to the
lands to be irrigated.
This enterprise will be watched
with interes. by number of the
people in the western part of the
state as there are numerous
places where pumping plants can
be installed under practically the
same conditions as are met with
in this enterprise. 1t it is sue
cessful, and there is little doubt
but that it will be fully so, we
may expect to see other plants
put in operation in the near future.
In other parts OF the country
the pumping system has been in
stalled most successfully with
steam and gasoline for power. 1t
would be much cheaper If water
power could be used and as such
power is easily obtained from any
of our streams we cannot see why
such schemes should not soon re-
claim a great share of our land.
Owing to the tremendous in
crease in late years in the value OF
irrigated lands in Colorado sys-
TENS of water supply are now
considered feasible which hereto
fore have not been scrutinized on
account of the cost. While the
first cost of installation usually
equals ordinary ditching yet we
do not think that the cost of
operation is anywhere near the
upkeep of ditch.
The NEWSPAPER will watch this
new enterprise closely and as soon
as practicable will give a list of
those interested together with
their nlans for future irripation.

A NOTABLE GATHERING
WORK OF THE PRESS lAUDED BY
PROMINENT MEN.
Editors and Publishers Attend Joint
Banquet of Associated Press and
American Newspaper Publishers

New York City-Editors and pub
fishers of this country to the num-
ber of 600 last night attended the
joint banquet of the Associated Press
and the American Newspaper Publish
ers' association at the Waldorf-As-
toria. Count Johann Heinrich Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
and Joseph II. Choate, former ambas-
sador of the United States to Great
Britain, were guests of honor and de-
liyered speeches appreciative of the
work of the press. Other speakers
were Maj. John c. Hemphill of the
Charleston News and Courier; Rev.
Robert E. Burdette of Los Angeles and
ex-senator T. NJ. Patterson of Colo
RADIO.
After the dinner President Frank B.
Noyes of the Associated Press present
ed Maj. Hemphill as the toastmaster
of the evening. A toast was given to
the president of the United States,
the audience rising and drinking to
the health of the executive, while the
band played The Star Spangled Ban
ner"
Maj. Hemphill in his Introductory
remarks spoke of the organizations
whose members joined at the festive
board as THE greatest and most pow
erful newspaper associations in the
world. They are American in name
and in purpose and here we have the
really beautiful spectacle of the pub
fishers who make the money and the
editors who spend it, mingling upon
apparently friendly terms, while the
common people pass by on the out
side utterly oblivious of our real i'm
portance in the great economy. With
out us much of what is worst in our
social life would not be exposed and
most of what is best for the state
would not be achieved"
When Mr.. Choate had concluded
his address there occurred two pleas
ant incidents, the presentation of gifts
of appreciation to men who had faith
fully performed onerous duties for
their associates. The first of these
was the presentation to John II. Fa.
hey of the Boston Traveller of low.
ing cup in token of his work as chair
man of the special committee of the
Associated Press; the other was the
presentation to Herman Ridder of the
New York Stats Zeitung of hand
some silver center piece, in recogni-
tion on the part of the members of the
American Newspaper Publishers as
sociation of his labors for free wood
pulp and print paper.

TUNNELLED UNDER BUILDINGS
Bold Robbers Succeed in Gaining En-.
trance to Bank at Suffolk, Va,
and Secure Considerable Loot.

Suffolk, Va.-Tunnelling their way
under four other buildings to reach
the vaults of bank, robbers gained
admission to the Bank of Suffolk,
carried away with them a large
amount of loose currency, gold and sill
yer and succeeded in making their
escape.
Although the loss was discovered by
the officials of the bank Monday morn
ing no notification thereof was given
to the police until late yesterday. 1t
is thought the thieves must have spent
at least ten days before they sue
ceeded in reaching the bank by their
underground course. 1t is believed
that they finished their job and made
their entrance to the bank either on
Sunday or Sunday night. They at
tempted to break open the vault but
did not succeed in this. They secured
about 81 800. The police have no clue.
Inside the tunnel were found empty
bottles, cigar stumps and bits of food,
which make it evident that they must
have spent most of their time in the
tunnel. Employees in one of the stores
under which the robbers tunneled say
they have observed some peculiar
noises beneath them during the past
week

FORESTRY AGENT SAYS
SETTLERS HAVE NO CLAIM
Los Angeles Acted Within
Rights i'm Taking Land

According to a recent dispatch from
Bishop, Cal. the settlers who have
criticised the forestry service and the
city of Los Angeles for the action of
the latter in fling on 10000 acres in
the Owens river valley and thus pre-
venting entry upon the ground by
homesteaders. are wasting half their
vituperation, was the text of a state
ment issued yesterday by F. E. Ohm
sted, district forester.
In the statement Olmsted points out
that though the land is in the Inyo
national forest. 1t was removed from
the jurisdiction of the forest service
by an act of congress and given over
to the reclamation service. 1t was
provided, however. that if at any time
within three years the reclamation
service wished to withdraw from the
work, the city of Los Angeles by pay
ing the cost of the preliminary and
other surveys could acquire the land
for reservoir or right of way purposes.
Los Angeles has taken advantage of
this proviso and the forest service.
says Olnsted in his statement, has no
jurisdiction in the matter.
The deal is entirely in the hands of
the department of the interior.
