irrigation district, situated near the
Seyenty-one ranch. in Secret VAL

13, 900 acres.
1t is proposed to build a dam at
the foot of the valley, to conserve
millions of gallons of water annual

Iservation of this water will be the
means of bringing into the state

time have been barren waste, will
be a garden spot, and that every
line of industry would be benefited
by the advent of the newcomers,
as they must be furnished with
commodities, and this would mean
the erection of new stores, and
these, in turn, would benefit the en-

Our first meal and pan washing on

NEW YORK.-The tramp evil in
~ this state may soon be solved. A
bill provides not only for the appoint
ment of commission to inquire care
fully into the conditions of vagrancy,
but also makes an appropriation for
the purchase of 500 acres of land
upon which to establish a tramp col
ony. That there is need of some
more adequate method of dealing with
the vagrant class than has formerly
obtained is known to every person.
and the establishment of farm
where Migrants might be employed
and reclaimed Is believed by those
who have made a study of the subject
to be the proper solution of the diff
Guilty.
The Migrants now in this state
would form a population as large as
that of the city of Albany. The jails,
penitentiaries and almshouses are put
to an expense of 100000 annually

New York May Establish Tramp Colony

In endeavoring to cope with the prob
lem which has arisen through the ex-
istence of this undesirable element.
The bill proposes as a solution the
establishment Of a labor colony. The
latter, briefly, is a state owned colony
for the detention, reformation and In
structiOn In agriculture and other in
dustrial occupations of persons COM
mitted by magistrates as Migrants and
tramps.
In Switzerland there is such col
ony, located at Witzwill, In the canton
of Berne, and 1t has proved most sue
cessful Practically all OF the work
is done by the inmates. Not only Is
agriculture carried on, but other en-
terprises are also conducted. The
buildings of the institution have been
erected by the inmates and all OF the
furniture Is made by them. They
even make wagons and carriages and
the various tools and appliances used
on the farm.
With the establishment Of such
colony the vagrant In New York
would find himself between the horns
OF an uncomfortable dilemma-either
detention at the farm colony or the
giving wide berth to the state In
which he now is found most often.

and more to truth, to natures ap-
