Colorado irrigation Increasing.

Washington, d. C.-Director Durand
of the Bureau of the Census, Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, has is
sued the first official statement from
the Census Bureau relative to the
statistics on irrigation in Colorado. 1t
is based on preliminary compare
tive summary submitted by DR.. lie
Grand Powers, chief statistician for
the division of agriculture in the Blu
reau of the Census.
The figures are subject to revision
after more complete tabulation.
The total number of farms irrigat-
ed in 1909 was 25,926.
The total acreage irrigated in 1903
was 2,792,O32 acres, against 1.G11,-
27l acres in 1899, an increase of l..
lS0,761 acres, or 1873 per cent.
The total acreage which all enter.
prises were capable of irrigating in
1910 was 3,99O.166 acres. an excess Of
1,I9S,134 acres over the area irrigated
In 1903. The area included in prof
ects either completed or under con
struction in 1910 was 5.917,457 acres,
an excess of 3,125,i25 acres. This
indicates in a general way the area
which will be available within the
next lew years for the extension of ir-
rigation, and shows that the area irrl-
gated in 1909 can be more than dou-
bled without the undertaking Of new
enterprises.
The number of independent enter
prises reported in 1910 was 1905. The
total length of all bitches was 22,72l
miles. of which 17,51S miles were in
main canals and 5000 miles in later
ais. The length of main canals re-
ported in 1899 was 1874 miles, show
ing an increase in the ten years of 10,
IA miles. The number OF reSe Soirs
reported was 1854, having combined
capacity of 2.G4G,591 acre-feet. The
number OF wells pumped for irrigation
was 121, and the number of all pump
ing plants was 20G. Flowing wells
supplied water to 5,171 acres.
The total cost of irrigation sys-
tens reported in 1910 was S55,477.S50,
against S1l ,75S,T03 in 1893. The av-
erage cost per acre in 1910 was s1".9n'
against $3.50 in 1893.
The acreage irrigated in 1909 has
been classified, according to the state
and federal laws. under which the
works were built or are operated as
follows: United States Reclamation
Service TACT of Congress June II,
1902, $1,000 acres; United States In
dian Service (various acts of Con
gress), 1920 acres; Carey act TACT OF
Congress Aug. IS, 1870, 485 acres; IT.
rigation districts, 115.304 acres; coop
,erative enterprises, 1,2T3.141 acres;
commercial enterprises, l59,i5I acres;
Individual and partnership enterprises
1,226,O25 acres. United States Recla-
nation Service and Carey act works
are to be turned over to the water
users for operation and maintenance
as soon as they are paid for.

wealth, and the occasion warranted
the display, for this was the first time
a British emperor of India has come
to this seat OF the old kings of In
dia to assume his title as ruler of
the vast eastern empire.
The durbar, for which elaborate
preparations had been under way for
months, took place in a great camp TO
the north of the city, some five miles
square. The temporary population of
this camp is about n quarter of mil
lion, and it is furnished with all the
conveniences of modern life, includ-
ing 81 postofices. 10 telegraph Offices
kAd even electric light, railways. motor
fSs and taxi cabs. There the people
.thered for the durbar have been
amusing themselves for several days
with polo. hockey and military tourna-
ments and other festivities.
Display of Jewels Is Wonderful.
The durbar proper took place in an
immense semi-circular amphitheater
on the historic ridge where a few
Englishmen once made heroic stand
against the revolving natives. In the
center of the semi-circle was throne
of gold and silver surmounted by
copper dome. Taking his seat on
this, George received the homage of

Hardinge, viceroy of India, and Lady

Most spectacular was the grand re-
view of troops, about 10000 in num-
Der. Most of these were native
troops. and they were CARRIED in the
most gorgeous uniforms in the world.

Presents for Indian Subjects.
The king and queen brought from
England vast number of presents
for their Indian subjects, including a
thousand plum buildings made in the
buckingham palace kitchens, and a
great number of rich cakes, York
hams and Stilton cheeses. Then there
are rolls of English linen, piles Of
Buckinghamshire, honiton and point

Editorial Comment.
[Chihuahua Enterplisel

The military operations which have been carried on are of little interest, being merely a chronicle of the march, progress and arrival of insurrectos at certain geographi. cal points which do not possess even strategic interest. And more than this they fade into insignificance in comparison with the associated press interview with Finance Min ister Limantour in Paris and the sentiments therein attributed to him.
 1t is the most sensational utter. ance during the entire insurrection- ary outbreak and owes its force to the recognition that he is but in- terpreting what Is in the minds and hearts of millions of Mexicans. Following are the leading points of the interview.
 He believes the feudal system in Mexico must be abandoned and the great estates in the north which have been passed from family to family must be broken up into small lots for sale to the people.
 Il have no polical aspirations" eaid Mir. Limantour. II seek merely the uplifting of my coun- try. Often 1 have been asked to run for the presidency, but l have refused. 1 expect to leave Paris in a fortnight for New York and to proceed thence by steamer to Yuca- can for private visit"
 "The only plan which 1 have for the restoration of peace in Mexico" said MT. Limantour, lis for the revOlutionists to lay down their arms. Then, and only then, will the dignity and honor of Mexico permit a pOurparler with the in- surgents who have endangered both the security and credit of the na- tion."
 Sehor Limantour then the dis. patch says, declared himself in favor of the following reforms:
 First-The abuses contaminating

local administration in the cities and towns which have the greatest grievances should be immediately abolished.
 Second-Some means should be found to allow the people to share more extensively in the holdings of land. The vast estates in north ern Mexico which have been hand ed down from generation to gener- alton by individuals, should be divided and distributed among the people on easy terms of payment.
 In the third place, as to the op- position to President Diaz on the ground that he has been too long in office, and that new blood is needed to direct the affairs of the republic, the minister said that such opposition was not justified and he added: General Diaz was legally returned to the presidency by the people,"

The flies which / did see were noticed
while on an inspection Of a number OF
cheap eating houses with inspectors OF
the Havana public health department.
The stores are kept open and the meats
and other foods exposed. There are no
screens. and Notwithstanding this, there
are no flies.
The absence of flies is due to the ex-
cellent health system in operation there.
Garbage and manure are collected daily.

I'm Washington, of course, a house-to-

I'm Havana the inspectors visit every

economy for any city to take such pre-
ventive measures. The cost Of maintain
ing a good inspection system and operat-
ing other equally important public health
preventive plans would be greatly eN-
ceeded by the cost of fighting some cpl
demic which might break out because Of
the absence of proper preventive meas
