PRACTICAL CONSERVATION
OF WATER NEAR RIALT0
Development Company Engaged
in important Work in Lyt-
tie Creek Canyon

Additional men have been employed
by the Fontana Water company in
Lytle Creek canyon to prepare for the
extension of the conservation work
which has been undertaken. The
company is extending its plan of oper-
ations in conserving the flow by
means of many wells sunk in the creek
basins and spreading the flow over a
large area for the purpose of sink
ing it. The water, after percolating
through the gravel beds, rises below
and maintains a steady flow of the
stream throughout the year.
Although the Fontana company has
already brought it's supply to more
than ample proportions for the orange
and lemon lands, the development
work will be continued because of the
fact that more water can be used to
advantage in other directions and
that the greater the steady flow of the
the stream the better are the general
water rights.
The work being done is said to be
q revelation in conservation work, and
many visitors have made trips to the
source of supply to study the system.
The Fontana Water company fur
nishes the supply for the lands which
are being handled by the Fontana
Development company.

OWEN CHAMPIONS
GOOD WATERWAYS
Oklahoma Senator Against Pork
Barrel System of Rivers
and HarborS

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma, who is
taking a commanding position in the
senate of the United States, has pro-
nounced views on the subject of water
ways and their improvement.
In a letter to President Joseph e.
Ransdell of the National Rivers and
Harbors congress, whose seventh an
nual convention will be held in the
city of Washington December Z. s and
8 next Senator Owen says as to the
best method of developing our national
waterways:
Il think the great rivers should be
improved first in a thorough-going
fashion and then the lateral streams
This, ASA broad policy, is, in my judg-
ment, the proper course to pursue.
II believe it ought to be done imme-
diately and on a Panama scale, and
that the pork barrel system of rivers
and harbors bill should be absolutely
discontinued. / think the government
coud, in connection with this matter,
utilize unemployed labor at wages be-
low the competing point with other
employers of labor and thus absorb
unemployed labor in this great national
project
Good waterways from Pittsburg,
Chicago and st. Paul to the Gulf
should be put upon a sound basis to
begin with, and then the laterals de-
veloped to connect with these when
well established.

be opened for freight boats on these

KEIR HARDIE: NINE PROPHET

Coal is the background of the whole
life of Keir Hardie. He seems to a
London paper the incarnate spirit of
the mine. This illustrious member of
the house of commons was barely
eight years old, we fead, when first
he went to work in coal pit. For
years it was his destiny to see. feel,
smell and pound coal. For years he
wore a grimy cap that fitted close to
his skull. a metal lamp that dangled
in his hand or was fitted upon his head
and clothes that would have appalled, a
chimney sweep. His countenance was
coaly from forehead to chin, his lips
were carmine by contrast with his
ebony face powder and his eyes glist-
ened stonily. To this day he retains
the miners characteristic stare and his
voice is hoarSe from past accumula-
tion of fire damp. Yet in this environ
ment he never lost his keen sense of
independence and of personal dignity,
as, with a bottle OF oil in one hand
and a dinner pail in the other, he sat
upon his load OF coal and rode up to
daylight. Hour after hour he worked
with his pick in pitch darkness through
a monotony broken only by the alarm
of fire or news that an explosion had
killed a score or so near him.
The Scotch parents of Teir Hardie
belonged to the working class. He
had q rigidly pious mother who brought
him up in a very close intimacy with
the Bible The strain of scriptural
prophecy that runs through the elo-
quence of Keir Hardie. the tinge of
piety in all his talk, prompting Lon
don paper to compare his oratory with
that of the biblical heroes, is traced to
his boyish study of the careers of Da-
vid, Saul, Isaiah and the sister of
Aaron and Moses. 1t is difficult to
account in any other way for the rich
ness and the splendor of Keir Hardies
diction and the undefiled purity of his
English style.-Current Literature.

WASHINGTON April 21.--A movement
was launched today by the ''insurgents' re-
publican members Of the house to take
away from the speaker the power to ap-
point the house committees.

resentative Fowler of New Jersey. one Of

of the stirring scenes S1sFeted several weeks

tion and made a point of order against the
Fowler resolution as not privileged" Be
fore the speaker could rule Mr.. Hardwick
OF Georgia made point of no quorum. The
doors were closed and there Immediately
was a call of the house.
The speaker finally obtained some semb-
lance of order and announced that 275 MEM
bers were present.
Mr. Fowler was again recognized to speak
on his resolution. He announced that he
did not wish consideration of the resolution
until May 2, but desired to have It referred
to the committee on rules and to have it
come up before the house as a privileged
matter on the date mentioned s>
The speaker promptly decided that the
resolution was not in order, but said he
was willing to hear arguments on the point.
The tension was relieved by Mr.. Fowler
saying he would withdraw the resolution
and deposit 1t in the basket"
The hopper system for bills and resolu-
tions prevails in the house.
Mr.. Fowler, his resolution In hand,
walked TO the clerks desk and placed 1t In
the basket the speaker having informed
him that not being privileged 1t would have
to take the regular course. -Derisive
laughter from the regular republicans
greeted this action.
"Some forty minutes of the time of the
house have been consumed at this stage OF
the session. shouted Speaker Cannon
above the confusion, "and now the gentle
man withdraws his resolution and says he

Forty Miners
Entombed at

Cages Block Shaft and Entrance is
Sealed to Prevent Spread of
Flames-All Probably Dead.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 21.-Little
hope was expressed this morning that any
OF the thirty-five or forty miners entombed
in the Mulga mine Of the Birmingham
Coal and Iron company as the result of an
explosion about o'clock last night viii
be rescued alive.
When II was learned that it was impos-
sible to gain entrance to the mine through
the shaft, because the cages were sprung
in the passage. the entrance was sealed to
prevent. II possible, the spread Of fire.
shortly. after midnight the hospital car
Of the Tennessee company was rushed to
tho scene. equipped with helmets and all
other necessary appliances for entering a
gaseous mine. Ambulances also were sent
from Ensley and Birmingham to the scene,
which is about twelve mics northwest OF
Birmingham
The only list OF names of the miners at
work at the time Of the explosion was held
by the foreman OF the gang at work. who
is among the entombed. 1t is believed
however, there are about fifteen white men
and twenty to twenty-five negroes.
The mine has been in operation about
two years The shaft is $50 feet deep and
the fact that flames shot to a height OF
100 feet leads to the belief that the ex-
ploslon occurred near the bottom Of the
main shaft.
When the first crew of rescuers reached
the bottom of the shaft this morning, the
bodies of two miners were found The
rescuers upon returning to the surface ex.
pressed the opinion that all the impris-
oned men were dead.
