Parish of the reclamation service was asked to contribute his views as to the best method of ditch preservation adaptable for this valley Mir. Parish is a recognized authority on this subject, and his suggestions. on a topic that is far more important than it might appear to one who has not investigated it, should carry weight and be duly considered.

Hosodo does not deny the shooting, but says his purpose was merely to shoot over the head of the COW and frighten her. and he aimed a little too low, though it is understood he was successful in soaring the animal

This table shows conclusively that cement concrete lining is the most expensive as well as the best; but in this valley, where water is not as valuable as in California, seepage losses are not such an important fac tor if the ditch can be kept in good condition to deliver at all times its full capacity by preventing the growth of vegetation on its sides and banks, thus eliminating the labor and ex- pense of cleaning.
 This can be- done cheapest, in my opinion. by first cleaning and repair ing the ditch properly and then treat ing its bottom, sides and banks with a heavy asphaItic oil; by sprinkling the oil while hot from some cheap sprinkling cart and then raking the oil thoroughly into the earth with either a harrow or hand rakes. The oil could be sprinkled from an ordi- nary sprinkling can and raked in with

 VALLEYS D|TCHES SUGGESTIONS BY ENGINEER w.
 A. PARISH Efficiency of Different Ditch linings and Economy of Water and
 Labor Discussed

At a time like this, when the ca nals and ditches are running under full head of water. the irrigationist in the valley is confronted with the problem of keeping the ditches in re- pair. In California, where drop of water has a greater intrinsic value than here. a large proportion of the ditches arc cement lined at enormous cost and constant repairing done away with. In the Salt River valley, on the contrary, the ditches, espe- cially at this time of the year, are covered along the sides with a dense undergrowth of weeds and grass that tends to obstruct the flow of the stream and makes necessary con stant clearing away of the rubbish.

pensive and frequent.

The gravity of this problem is rec
 ognized by many and few attempts have been made to solve it. In one of the agricultural bulletins the re- suits of experiments on the loss of water in earthen ditchcs is given by the following table. Canals carrying 1000 inches and over
 lose .............. 95Gt per mile Canals carrying be- tween 1000 and 4.00O inches lose... 2.5SR per mile Canals carrying be- ] tween 1000 and
 2.OO0 inches lose.. 4.211t per mile
 Canals carrying less than 1000 inches lose ................11.2Se per mile
 The average loss in canals is ap- proXimately 1 per cent a mile. It is common practice to allow 90 per cent of the water taken in at the headgate 1 for loss in the ordinary canal, and
 as it is probable as much more is lost in transit through the distributing ditches, it is safe to say fully one half the water taken through the headgate is lost before it can be ap- piled to the soil.

 A NEW HACK-Since the Club stables came into the hands of T. J. Walker an effort has been made to widen the business lines of that insti- tuition. The latest is the purchase of a new hack, which can now be found on the city streets with the ribbons running to the fingers of Count the veteran hack driver of the city. This is a new departure for the Club stables, which hitherto have not par ticipated in the hack business but have been confined to a livery business strictly.

Yhither he went after the meetings of the irrigation congress in Spokane. Last Saturday he was one of those to attend a reception given to Chief Forester PinchOt in Los An geles. It is expected that MT. Fowler will arrive in time to attend the meet ing of the board of governors of the Water Users association today.
 BORROWED MANY DOLLARS Frank Bower, a barber, was arrested yesterday on complaint from his em- ployer that the man was using the firms name for the purpose of making numerous small loans of one dollar each. When Bower was taken to the city jail, a little the worse for liquor. he said that he was about to come into an estate of several thousand doh lars. He said that he had a check for $7O0, but that he had been rolled" for it. He made so many one dollar loans that his employer objected and caused his arrest. A charge of dis orderly conduct will be placed against him.

Gratifying Test of Sea Wall.

Gratifying est or sea wall.
From Popular Mechanics.
The recent storm at Galveston which
was the first severe test of the new sea
wall built to protect the city after the
calamity of 1900. Had it not been for the
wall the damage would undoubtedly have
extended far into the city, carrying in its
wake death, as we'll as property destruc-
ton.
The great wall extends along the city $
water front for 1853 feet, or 19 miles,
and It's top is II feet above mean low wa
ter of the gulf or 1.3 feet higher than the
highest point reached by the flood that
was driven over the city by the 1900 hur-
ricane. The wall proper is feet thick
at the top and 16 feet thick at the base,
built on a foundation of piles that are
driven 43 feet in the ground. In front of
the wall for q feet seward a massive
bed of granite rip-rap, to feet thick,
provides a further protection to the foun-
