Irritation Measures.

There are three important irrigation
bills before the Legislature, introduced
by Senator Carringer and Representa-
tives Clark and Weiser, Senator Car
penter of the agriculture and irriga-
tion committee called a meeting OF
those interested in irrigation. at which
meeting counsel for the various irriga-
tion districts agreed to submit their
written opinions to the committee on
the legal phase of the bills and the
relative merits. These opinions will
aid the committee greatly in consider
ing which bill to advocate. The three
bills under consideration of the com
mittee greatly concern farmers and the
state as well.
1t IL proposed to allow the entrance
of state lands into irrigation districts
in two of the bills and in the third to
allow owners of desert and homestead
government lands to come in under the
benefit of irrigation districts, while
paying for their lands. The irrigation
districts favor the bills because it
would give more compact acreage to
the districts.
The Carringer bill relates to the en-
trance of state lands into irrigation
districts. 1t is backed by the Land
board, which in one county has 10000
acres of land entered. The value of
the land to the state Is increased be-
cause the lands come under the bene-
fits of the districts water system.
The bill allows the district to tax the
rrx . Afh
land held by member of the district.
thereby adding to the revenue of the
district. The Clark bill permits the
state to come in under the district, al
though not becoming member upon
the same footing as other members OF
the district.

Drake Drainage Bill.

The Drake drainage bill was passed
for third reading in the Senate Friday
after sharp discussion, which revolved
upon the point of whether or not, un-
der the bill. drawn by Frank c. Goudy
and presented by Senator Drake. drain
age districts could be formed on the
eastern slope to draw water from the
western slope headwaters and divert
1t to the plains east and north of Den
ver. The Drake bill provides that
drainage districts may carry water
from one watershed to another. Sena-
tor Napier declared this would allow
the eastern slope men to steal water
from the western slope and introduced
an amendment, which he said was
written in the handwriting and bore
the signature of the framer of the bill,
Frank c. Goudy, which declared that
water could not be diverted from one
watershed to another by drainage dis
tricts. Senator Napier's amendment
was lost by vote of IS to IL and the
bill favorably recommended.

RECORD OF THE Seventeenth
COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Mo cuardIsnshIp for Veterans.

In the Senate Senator CampbelPs
bill, repeating Colorado statutes which
require that all old soldiers and sailors
entering the Soldiers and Sailors
Home shall turn over their pensions to
the commandant, was passed to third
reading. The United States laws re-
Quire that pensioners of the govern
ment shall not turn their money over
to anyone, but shall keep 1t themselves.
Senator Bohn. an old soldier. said 1t
was an outrage TO make the command
ant guardian OF the old soldiers, be-
sides being violation of the constitu-
tion.. 'The custom arose because it
was feared that the old soldiers would
go into town pension day and get
drunk" said Senator Bohn. well. II
they want to get drunk, let them. They
have a right to do SO. They fought for
the country and have a right to any
pleasure they may get out OF their pen
sions. 1t is nobody's business" 1t was
stated that as much as $4,000 passes
through the commandments hands from
this source alone every year.

Workshop for Blind Saved.

BY reporting out favorably the bill
carrying an appropriation of $4,000 for
the Colorado workshop for the blind,
the Senate committee on finance prac-
tically saved the existence of that in
stitution. With favorable committee
report the bill is expected to pass cas-
lily now, and it will be given home of
its own. Had the bill been delayed un-
til after March 1st the institution
would have gone out of existence, as
under the law. no institution can bor-
row money for maintenance after
March LIST of the year following the ex-
piration of the preceding biennial per-
iod. The blind workshop has been run
ming into debt since last October.
The provisions of the bill are that a
workshop shall be built by the state to
cost $4,000, home for the blind work
ers, to cost $4,000 and $4,000 shall
be appropriated for maintenance.

To Accept carneale,s Money.

The House in committee of the
whole Friday favorably considered the
Senate resolution providing that the
University OF Colorado may take ad-
vantage of the foundation established
by Mr.. Carnegie for the purpose of
providing pensions for superannu-
ated college professors. There are
several of these resolutions. each per-
mitting state institution to receive
the benefits of the fund, and all went
through the Senate without opposi-
tion. During the discussion. Mr. Car
negie and the steel trust were vigor-
ously denounced by Representative
Henahen and Mrs. LaffeTty, who would
have the state refuse to touch "taint-

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Feb. %.
.-On Monday Of last week the local
market advanced 10 to Is cents. owing
to short supply and a good demand.
Later, however, the eastern markets
reported sharp declines and all the ad-
vance was lost and prices were at the
close anywhere from 10 to Is cents
lower than the preceding week. Re-
ceipts were fair and all sold. Good
steers brought $3.50 to $3.50, with
choice stuff at s5.65. A bunch of fan
cy heifers sold at $50 on Monday,
but most of the good cows went at
$4.00 to $3.50 later in the week. with
choice stuff at s4.65. and one bunch of
fancy COWS at s475. Bulls were lit
tie lower at $3.50 to $3.25 for bulk.
Veals sold mostly at $500 to $3.50 for
light weights. Good feeders and stock
ers were wanted, but palmer kinds
were slow. Good to choice steers
brought $4.00 to $3.50 and fair to good
at $3.50 to $500. with light stuff down
TO 1925. Dealers and others who have
been on the river markets during the
past week declare cattle prices are
higher here than anywhere else. and a
comparison of quotations at the dif-
ferent points will prove TO shippers
that this statement is true.
Hog demand was good and prices
have been relatively higher here than
at the river markets all week. The
supply was very good but more could
have been used to advantage. Bulk
of the hogs sold on Saturday at 5000
to $500.
Sheep trade was very good and
prices closed about steady. Good fat
ewes sold at s4.40, wethers at $50
freight paid, and yearlings at S6.25.
Local prices are fully in line with
eastern quotations.

Veterinary Examiners.

Senator Tobin's bill establishing a
state board of veterinary examiners OF
three persons, who shall license all
veterinary doctors, was passed TO third
reading in the Senate. Graduates
of veterinary colleges will be
granted licenses with the privi-
lege of placing VS." after their
names. All must take examination,
except veterinarians who have prac-
ticed in the state for three consecu.
tive years. Those who have not come
from colleges can not use the words
veterinary surgeon" but must use
"non-graduate veterinary practitioner" j"
This is to prevent Misrepresentation by
unscientific veterinarians. The board
will serve without pay and receive nee
essary travelling expenses.

Land Board Attorney.

Warwick NJ. Downing, member of
the Denver park board, was appointed
attorney to the state land board. The
governors choice for the place was
George Thorne, but he was overruled
by the other members OF the board
The governors wishes were also dis
regarded in the matter of specifying
the amount of time that the attorney
should give to the duties of his office,
the board voting down resolution re-
quiring him to devote one-half his time
to the work. The salary is $125 per
month.

walden wants chunk cut off, or
North Park and Larimer counties, to

School Fraternities Heard.

Lengthy arguments for and against
the bill abolishing fraternal societies
among the pupils of the high schools
were made before the joint educational
committee of the Legislature Wednes-
day night. The capacity of the Senate
chamber was taxed with crowd which
remained until midnight.
Frequent outbursts of applause and
cheering from the 300 or more boys
and girls from the high schools. who
crowded the galleries, indicated the in
terest that is being taken in the fight
over the pending Legislation.
Much bitterness was manifest when
the anti-fraternity bill was taken up for
public discussion. The opponents of
the bill were led by Judge James j.
Banks, while Prof. William H. Smiley,
principal of the East Denver high
school, led the forces which are fight
ing for the passage of the measure.
Professor Smiley started the discus
sion by reading clippings from news
papers in all parts of the United States
showing that the fraternities are being
abolished. He then read dozen or
more letters without revealing the
Identity of the writer's. in which fra
ternities were attacked on the grounds
that they tend to draw social lines
among the pupils. that they have an
unwholesome effect on the students.
and that their abolition is necessary
from an educational standpoint.
Judge Banks then called on some of
the members of the fraternities, and
Wells and Christian OF the manual
training school defended the societies.
Wells delivered an impassioned ad-
dress in defense of the fraternities and
seemed to make good impression. In
support of his contentious he produced
petition signed by the parents OF $50
frat members.

other of its dead and added another
to the long list of unknown dead
taken from its chilly waters. This
last victim is described by the cor

of the Mongoiian race, about 40
years old, 5 feet, 10 inches in height
dressed in working clothes, with no
especial distinguishing marks and
no letters or papers in any pockets
but had 81 80 in money. The body
had evidently been in the water for
some time and was badly decompos-
ed. Undertaken I. n. Mueller. ac-
companied the coroner and the body
was inferred near where it was
found as soon as the examination
was finished.

COURT AT KENNEWICK

The law passed by the last legis-
lature providing that sessions of the
Superior Court may be held in other
towns in the county than the
county seat will soon go into
effect. Kennewick should take
advantage of this new enactment
and arran e to have the commits
sicners designate this place for hold
ing court as often as is necessary.
The law provides for the appoint.
ment of deputy clerks to look after
the court records in the different
towns. Considerable time and much
money can be saved by cutting out
this forty mile trip to the county
seat. By having a law and motion
day here the attorneys will be saved
many trips to Prosser. All probate
matters could be handled here and
here and the trips of administrators
and executors to make reports Ind
accountings can be saved and the
people OF the east end of the county
keep that money instead of eiv;ns
it to the Northern Pacific in car
fare.

THEY GOT THE MONEY

H. A. Howe and L. E. johnson
representing the Kennewick busi-
ness men appeared before the Coun-
ty, Commissioners Tuesday in the
interest of the road to the boat
landing. They asked that as much
money be appropriated by the
Board for this road as would be
spent on the State Aid Euclid road
west Of Prosser. The board met
their request and set aside $4,000
for the improvement of roads in
this vicinity under the direction of
Commissioner H. G. Tweedt. It
was stated in the meeting that at
least s25OO would be expended on
the dock road and quite a large
part of the balance would be used
in improving a road to the new
North Bauk depot. This will make
considerable work for teams and
men and when the roads are COM
pleted a heavy volume of traffic can
be handled over good roads which
will reduce the handling expense.

WATER FOR HORSE HEAVEN

Another move looking toward the
reclamation Of the dry lands on the
bench in Yakima, Klickitat and
Benton counties was made last week
when M. Conlan filed with the
county auditor his notices of ap-
preparation of 5000 cubic feet of
water per second from the Klickitat
river and its branches,
One of these notices shows an ap-
preparation of 1000 cubic feet from
the Klickitat river above the mouth
of Pearl creek. This water is to be
taken from the west side of the riv-
er and is to be carried in a south
easterly direction to the lands to be
irrigated in Yakima, klickitat and
Benton counties.
The second notice calls for the an
preparation of 500 cubic feet of wa
ter from the west fork of the Kick
ltat river, and the third notice calls
for an appropriation of 500 cubic
70 water from the Big Muddy creek
which is branch of th. klickitst
river. All Of these appropriations
are made in Yakima county Yak
ina Republic.
