LAUGH IS ONLY
Comment OF
7. ROOSEVELT

NEW YORK. Feb. 8. - Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt commented yes
terday on the Slayden resolution,
which was before congress, with
a prolonged laugh-a mirth-produe-
er that infected half a score OF
callers in his reception room and
left the colonel himself quite
breathless. He had no other COM
ment to make on the resolution, he
said.
The former president also declin-
ed to discuss reports that the with
drawal of Senator La Toilette from
his campaign for the presidential
nomination would throw much OF
La Follete's strength to himself
or to comment on the action of the
New Jersey progressive republicans
in voting to support him for presi-
dent He was sorry to hear OF
Senator La Follette's illness he said,
but beyond that he had no comment
to make.
Colonel George w. Goethals, the
chairman of the Isthmian Canal
commission, and Mrs. Goethals were
among Colonel Roosevelt's callers
yesterday W. n Mitchell of At
lanta, who tried to stampede the
republican national convention in
1908 for Roosevelt. also called and
at the conclusion of a lengthy con-
ference with Mr. Roosevelt, gave
an interview, in which he said he
was convinced that Roosevelt would
be the next president.

BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT
BY MUDDY VALLEY co.

The Muddy Valley Irrigation COM
pany. which controls the water sup
ply OF the lower Muddy (or Moapa)
valley, is planning 10 construct a
complete new irrigation system at a
cost of between $4,000 and s4O,-
600, including two electric power
plants to be run by the water
power to be developed by the i'm
proved system.
To raise the necessary funds the
directors propose bond issue of
$4,000 to be secured by the stock
of the company. A stockholders
meeting will be held February 70
to consider the plans outlined by
the board of directors.
Under the present system innu-
merable bitches are taken out of
the river which cost considerable
sum annually to keep clean and
otherwise maintain, besides causing
vast waste of water by seepage
and evaporation and giving poor re-
suits generally. Under the proposed
system planned by an engineer, two
main canals will be taken from the
! river, and run down either side
of the valley, each sufficiently ele-
waited to supply to the lateral can
ais serving the ranches to the best
advantage The fall Of the water
in the main canals, it is figured,
will be sufficient to develop thirty
horse power OF electricity on the
east side of the valley and 40 horse
power on the west side, which will
bring an annual income of some
$22,5O0. Another $4,000 will be
saved from the cost of maintenance
of the present ditch system.
The total acreage in the valley
to be covered by the proposed sys-
tenn is approximately $500, the
waste land amounting to about 1000
acres.
The total capacity of the two
canals, exclusive of drainage water,
which will be used by the St.
Thomas district, is So second feet.
The total length of both canals
will be about 20 miles. Estimated
cost $S0.000.-Clark County Review.

RELATING TO
PUBLISHING OF an
NUAL STATEMENT

The Chicago Mining World calls
attention to the law relative to for
eign corporations publishing state
ment of their business in this state
in the following manner:
"A law has been enacted in Ne
vada requiring all foreign corpora
tions doing business in the state
to publish an annual financial state
ment of their last years business
in some daily newspaper of the
state A penalty of 500 is inn
posed for noncompliance with the
law. II is apparent why this law
is not agreeable to many of the
companies operating properties in
the state The law, however, has
the earmark of a wise provision for
the protection OF the public and
should excite no hostility from those
companies whose affairs do not
thrive best In the dark. Full pub
LEFTY of their financial affairs will
be a great help in the elimination
of crooked mining schemes"
1t might be well for foreign cor
porations other than mining COM
panies to remember that this law
applies to them. Any corporation
doing business in Nevada and yet
organized under the laws OF some
other state must obey that law or
lay itself open to the penalty.

WILL AVERT BIG STRIKE.

Arbitration likely will avert the
threatened strike of the engineers on
fifty eastern railroads. The matter
now stands in this position: The me-
diators are endeavoring to find some
other solution and to this end meet .
ings with the interested parties were
held. The conference committee sub
mitted to the mediators proposition
providing for commission of seven.
one each to represent the railroads and
the engineers, and these two to select
five umpires. In the event that these
representatives fail to agree on the five
umpires. the latter are to be appoint
ed by the Chief Justice of the Unit
ed States.
This plan has been adopted, with
the result Of causing people all over
the country to breathe easier. The
railway managers committee remarks
that the enormous addition TO operat-
ing expenses involved in the demands
of the engineers for higher wages, and
those. that would follow from other
classes of employees. would endanger
the solvency of some and impair the
efficiency of all the railroads TO render
proper service to the public and would
suspend indefinitely much needed inn
provements II is no wonder. there
fore, that the demands were not
granted off hand The committee also
observed that the suspension of rail-
road operation in the large territory
covered by the corporations affected
would involve such disastrous conse-
quences that the power TO bring about
such d state of affairs should not be
exercised by any corporation or or
ganization. nor should the possession
of such power be used to bring about
a calamity of this character AS mat
ters have shaped themselves so far.
the power has not been so used Both
the parties to the controversy have
conducted themselves with a spirit of
that deserves high praise.
Arbitration is at all times better
than a strike TO settle differences of
opinion between employers and en-
ployes. Under circumstances such as
are involved in the transportation bus
mess. arbitration should be the univer-
sal resort. because of the widespread
injury the disorganization Of the traf-
fe visits upon the general business of
the country.
