MILE IN LENGHT
Plans Call for Foundation of Solid
Missionary 14o Feet Wide and
Superstructure Thirty Feet in
Width, Consisting of Heavy
Timber.

Work was begun in earnest this
week in constructing the gigantic
breakwater for the Gary harbor of the
United States Steel corporation.
The contract for the building of the
breakwater, which will offer a means
of protection to all ships near the Gary
harbor in case of a storm, was awarded
to the Great Lakes Dredge and Dock
company of South Chicago. Owing to
the fact that the company was delayed
by the nonarrfval of material the work
was not commenced on the breakwater
last fan. AS soon as navigation open
ed up on the great lakes, a few weeks
ago the work was started. There are
now nearly 100 men at work on the
breakwater.
The breakwater will be 5000 feet in
length, The plans cali for a founda-
ton of solid masonry 140 feet wide and
a superstructure 80 feet wide, consist
ing of heavy timbers which will be
filled with limestone In building the
.breakwater an area of more than 80
acres will be inclosed which viii be
large enough for a score of ships to
ride in case of a storm.
The limestone for the breakwater is
being shipped from Montana and Joliet
by rail and is being carried to the scene
Of where the breakwater is being
built by scows.

with the race Is the number of en-

It is now planned by the promoters
of the race TO present the prizes to the

public to witness the ceremony and
to cheer their favorities. This plan
will probably be CARED out although
the arrangements have not yet been

ASIATIC EXCLUSION

Sacramento, Feb. 22-Senator Les
ter G. Burnett. chairman Of the Sac
ramento committee on federal rela-
tions. today presented the following
resolution relative to Asiat!c excll.
sion.
Whereas. the progress, happiness
and prosperity of the people of ma
tion depend upon homogeneous pop
ulation:
Whereas, the influx from the over
populated nations of Asia of people
who are unsuited for American citi-
zenship or for assimilation with the
Caucasian race will result In lowering
the American standard Of life and the
dignity and wage-earning capacity of
American labor,
Whereas, the exclusion Of Chinese
laborers under the existing exclusion
laws of the United States has tended
to preserve the economic and social
welfare OF the people;
Whereas, we view with alarm any
proposed repeal Of such exclusion laws
and the substituting therefor of gen.
eral laws,
Whereas. the interests Of Califor-
, MIA can best be safeguarded by tho
retention of said exclusion laws, and
by extending their terms and proyi-
sions to other Asiatic people,
Whereas. the people Of the eastern
states and the United States gen.
orally have no impression as to the
real sentiment Of the people of the
Pacific coast relative to the Asiatic
question,
Whereas, We think 1t right and
proper that the people of this country
should be advised as to our true posi-
tion on that question, therefore, be It
Resolved. by the senate and as
sembly Jointly that we respectfully
urge the congress of the United States
to maintain intact the present Chi
nese exclusion laws and instead OF
taking any action looking to such laws
TO extend the laws and provisions
thereof so as to apply to and include
all Asiatics.
Resolved, that our senators be in
structed, and representatives In con-
gress required, to use all honorable
means to carry out the foregoing rec
ommendation and request.

these resolutions be transmitted to

sentatives Of the United States. to each

TO IMPROVE IRRIGATION.

Water conservation cannot be ac-
complished unless we know the flow
OF the streams and have suitable
maps from which storage facilities can
be obtained; forest conservation can,
not be intelligently pursued without
knowing the extent and value of the
forests, and the conservation OF our
mineral resources is a hopeless task
unless we know their extent, The first
step in the conservation movement is
to take rational inventory OF our re-
sources, upon which definite plans for
their economical use can be based
j, G. Stevens, district engineer OF
the water resources branch OF the
United States geological survey, sta
toned at Portland, Ore. says this IN
a letter to r. Insinger, chairman OF
the board OF control of the National
Irrigation congress, which Will meet
IN Spokane, August 9 to IA. He adds
among other things:
This congress can render the great
est service X 1t will make a speciality
OF furthering the conservation move
ment, which is today SO much alive
In the public mind In fact, i would
favor changing the name from Nation
al Irrigation congress. to National Con-
servation congress. because this or
ganization In the past has taken up
the questions which have led TO the
necessity for that broad view of the
subject which would be embraced in
conservation congress. believe
the organization Is now a conservation
congress in everything except the
name.
when we review and analyze the
present conservation movement we
find that to this time 1t has been
largely matter of words and not ac-
tions. and believe this congress can
now take steps to crystallize some of
the sentiments that have been express.
ed into definite lines, whereby some
actual results can be obtained.
In regard to water conservation, IL
Is evident that our streams would
serve us best II they were uniformly
flowing. Even a slight approach to
this condition Of flow renders them
far more useful than where they are
uncontrolled. Such a condition can
only be obtained through artificial
storage, In which such storage as may
be furnished by forest should pe given
due weight and such other storage az
can be obtained through artificial res
ervoirs should be provided wherever
practicable. This makes the problem
a local one and will have to be solv-
ed on the merits of each individual
drainage area.
These questions of conservation as
far as an irrigation congress Is con-
cerned should be taken up in an edu.
cational way, as through this means
we reach many people who would not
otherwise give the matter the atten-
ton 1t required"
