There has been an alarming amount
of waste and laundering connected
with the actual carrying into effect
of the federal irrigation schemes.
There are instances where work has
been begun on incomplete engineer
ing data and completed before it was
discovered that there was no water to
fill the reservoirs. Other works have
proven far more costly than was at
first estimated. 1t seems impossible
to carry through a piece of work for
the government as cheaply and eff
GENTLY as the same work can be done
for private individuals.

Among the dozens of rejected war
craft which the navy has listed to go
out of commission because they are
useless or obsolete, not one is of the
American design. The Texas is the
only battleship to be retired, that was
built as an experiment on foreign de-
signs under Cleveland. The rest are
monitors, cruisers and gunboats built
before we knew a warship from a
dredge boat. 1t is not age that re-
tires most of them, but the fact that
they were always useless.

1t seems unfortunate, but yet not
