CoLORADO's PENAL SYSTEM.

Undoubtedly Colorado's system of dealing
with criminals appealed to the executives who
heard him present its details Tuesday after
noon at the conference of Governors. and it
would not be surprising IL, result, many OF
the States pattern after their Western sister
Judging from Governor Shafroth's testimony
they could not do better. Colorado has found
1t successful solution of the problem of
penology, and that in itself is sufficient reason
for the adoption of the methods pursued there
by other Commonwealth. So far as the Grim
iral classes are concerned conditions probably
do not vary to great extent in any of the States
Certainty and celebrity of punishment, lighter,
irdeterminate sentences, permitting the pris-
orer to earn his own liberty at outdoor en-
plcyment by good behavior and good work with
the prospect of serving the maximum term
staring him In the face If he errs, seems to us
q humane and logical system of dealing with
those who break the laws. And Governor Shat
roth bears evidence that instead Of turning
loose upon the community at the end of a
prison term palid-faced wrecks OF humanity,
the Colorado prison sends out physically strong,
healthy en-self-respecting citizens by vir-
tue of the self-restraint and discipline exer-
clced in the system of earning their liberty by
their conduct AS a result Colorado Is rapidly
acquiring a splendid system of good roads at
slight cost and what is more important the
State is making good citizens out of aaeH a%ho
by some other systems continue criminal ca
reers That there is honor and self-respect
deep down in the hearts of most criminals Is
evidenced by the statement of the Governor
that in the two years there had not been sin
gle violation OF parole, and only four escapes
from the unguarded outdoor gangs, one OF these
voluntarily returning.
Governor Hadley put the truth in q nut
shell when he said III the system of pena
servitude doesn't send forth better men physi
cally and morally at the end of their terms
there is something radically wrong with Il. /"
We sincerely wish that Governor Shafroti
could be persuaded to make that self-same ad
dress before the General Assembly Of Virginia

under the total for 1911 Ten deaths and
forty-one seriously injured was the price ex-
acted of the devotees OF the game in 1912,
while In 1911 the toll was fourteen killed and
sixty-seven seriously injured, The season
shows smaller list of victims from among the

six in 1911 Three of the fatalities we're the
result of injuries received in contests in pre-

IRRIGATION DISTRICT FOR
COLORADO RIVER VALLEY

LOS ANGELES, June 1.-Convinced
of the practicability of the scheme for
watering the 100000 acres of land in
the Chumkawalla and Palo Verde
country, as proposed by John D. Schuy-
Ter, expert engineer, over 200 entry
men have signed up within the last
ten days to form an irrigation district
for the purpose of incurring bonded
Indebtedness of $6,500,000, the cost
of the project.
Additional signatures of less than
$50 entrymen are needed to assure the
organization of the district and estab-
Hsh the certainty of securing sufficient
water to supply the entire acreage
with all the water needed to make the
arid lands blossom like the rose.
George Wharton James, father of
the project to bring water to the arid
lands of the Chuckawalla valley and
Palo Verde mesa, this morning re-
clared that never before has the pros
rect for the valley appeared so bright
as it does today. He expects to have
the additional signatures needed to

The entrymen will send a delega-
ton before the board of supervisors
at Riverside and have the district le-
gally formed The state will be asked
to appoint a commission to ascertain
the ability of the valley to bond itself
under the Bridgford act to the
amount necessary to organize the dis
trict. 1t is estimated that the total
cost of Engineer Schuyler's project
will range from $25 to $65 an acre.
With this problem solved the en-
trymen will join with Imperial, Yuma,
Cottonia and other desert land coun-
tries in urging the national govern
ment to appoint a committee TO confer
with Mexico and adjudicate the dis
pute over the water which may be
taken from the Colorado river. This
is expected to be an easy matter once
the commission is appointed.
Or. James this morning outlined in
brief the project which Engineer
SCHUYLER has endorsed as being the
most feasible and least expensive to
bring water into the arid lands of the
Chuckawalla valley and the Palo
Verde Mesa.
Engineer Schuyler proposes to tap
the river with tunnel about 5000
feet long and from this tunnel to bring
the water to the surface by a great
pumping plant. This first lift would
be about 200 feet Three other lifts
are proposed to take the water to the
different levels of the valley and the
mesa. In all the system will include
the pumping stations and the canals
and pipelines covering more than $50
miles.
This scheme would place every acre
of land on both the valley and the
mesa under the ditch.
DR.. James refused to make a de-
tailed account of Engineer Schuyler S
report, as the investigation and study
of the district was made at the eX-
pense of only a few entrymen and it
is considered unfair to let all benefit
at the expense of few.
