- AOAB, April 10.-A company was
NJ organized here yesterday TO pro-

in the state.
The preliminary survey has been
made and within few days application
will be filed in the state engineers Of

flow of water in La Sal creek, san Juan
county.
The water will be used TO irrigate
tracts lying from eighteen 10 twenty
five miles south of Moab.
The land to be reclaimed lies around
the Nipples, the Looking Glass and
Flat Iron country, just beyond Cane
spring. This land is a rich, sandy lOam
similar to the fine fruit land of Moab,
and the climate of that section is very
similar to that of Moab.
The men in charge of the scheme
propose TO store the water in Rattle
snake flat. The preliminary survey
shows that a dam IS feet high will store
sufficient water to irrigate 20,GO0 acres.
There is an abundance Of water in the
creek to fill the reservoir.
The personnel Of the company speaks
much for the outcome Of the project.
Except w. z. Sheldon and Harry H.

have had charge of the surveying on

f~N1 HE new Age Herald Building was de-
1 signed to be the most complete and most
g.g perfectly equipped newspaper plant in
the world, and experienced newspaper men who
have seen it have unhesitatingy asserted that
the aim has succeeded.
It is in the first place used exclusively by The
AgeHerald. Every department was arranged
and designed for the special purpose to which
it is to be put so that there are none of the
makeshifts that are usually found in buildings
which try to combine an office building with
newspaper plant
The first essentials of newspaper building
are plenty of light and air. The Age-Herald
Building has exposure four sides and each
side is a mass of windows, which makes the
health conditions ideal for the men working in
the plant.
Next the various departments Of the plant
should be so arranged as to facilitate the hand
ling of news matter with dispatch and accuracy.
In The Herald Building this condition is
cured by making the plans only after dozens
of the greatest newspaper plants in America
and abroad had been studied
The exterior of the building planned so
as to make it attractive and an ornament to the
city in which it has achieved its success. The
main business office counting room which is
entered from Fifth avenue, is regarded by all
who have seen it as the most artistic thing of

Remedial Legislation for the Army
Something About the Extra
Officer Bill Which Will Mean
an Impetus to Promotion

I the situation Time WAS when mon IN
| congress were regarded AS mere civic
! laymcn in military affairs. Time was
| indeed when the military committees
of the house and senate relied much
more than they do now upon what mil
itary men recommended or urged upon
Ihcm. for the army. But Of recent
years the members of the house and
senate military committees seem to
have made n particular study of mill
tarv organization and military noccs-
sitics. and nowadays when military
official or other high war department
functionary appears before either Of
these two military committees he is
subjected to n course of questioning
which shows plainly that the members
of the committee understand bette,
now than ever before in the history
of congress, Just what is best for the
army from the viewpoint of the lcgis
lator.
Is Shortage of officers.
However. whatever be The policy of
the prcsen, administration respecting
army affairs. IT seems 10 he tacitly
understood that for ihr present. nj

cerncd in military legislation will bc

vor of passage of the so-called add
fional officer bill which Is counted upon
10 relieve the situation. Added TO what
the war department may do in this
matter. il is expected that ihc various
state milit3rv schools and state militia
officials Will exert their individual and
combined influence upon their repre-
scntatives in congress. their request
being that with additional officers To

quircd by law 10 be detached from
their organizations, certainly not any
of those who are detached for recruit
ing service or rs instructors at state
educational institutions or with state
militia and still number of others
who arc doing duty which might easily
be performed by officers of other grades
IN tho service.
And right here again comes the argu
ment In favor of employing officers of
thc retired list on some of these duties
now performed by officers OF the active
list. For example. there are 100 officers
of the active list on duty as recruiting
officers, everyone Of whom might well
be replaced by officers of the retired
list of the army: and there are quito "a
number of officers OH duty at the var
Ious United States instructional institu
tious from The army war college
down TO the school Of musketrY and iu-
Guiding the service schools All. or nearly
all, of which might well be replaced by
officers selected from the retired list
of Che army Tho same may he said too,
Of the acting Judge advocates, quarter
masters, assistants at department head
quarters, and in the various burcauN Of
the war department, etc, but there
seems 10 be no prospect OF any change
from that method, no matter how much
good would result 10 the army chief.
y
reports there arc iust ono thousand of
iiccrs of the retired Inst and only eighty
five of them assigned to the perform
auce of duty. As a matter OF fact, in
cluding the retired officers of tho
Brownsville court of inquiry. those on
duty ut the soldiers home and the Chica-
mauGa park commission, there arc
only scventy-siX retired officers doing
active duty, and only fourteen of them
arc on recruiting duty. which almost
any retired officer is capable of perform.

During tho past fiscal year accord
