PENAL CODE MEASURE
 SENT TO SENATE

NI1OuSG OOIlpISISo 1SIl Lays LII Heartbreaking Labor. Death Penalty Not Eliminated. Vital Change Made in Indeterminate Sentence Law.)
 Ten days of hard, weary grind ing labor was finished in the house Tuesday when the penal code, H. B. AS. was passed and sent to the senate. The little girl who acts as messenger is nc Hercules, and Peter Munch was summoned to freight the bale of paper across to the other house.
 Whipple was the only repre- sentative to vote against the penal code when it came up for final passage. When the code first came up for consideration in committee of the whole, Whip pie began a consistent fight to have the death penalty eliminat- ed. The death penalty was not eliminated, and for that reason Whipple voted against the bill. He also had other objections, but this was the principal one.
 The most striking feature of the revised criminal code is the change made in the indetermi- nate sentence provision. At pres ent an absolute indeterminate sentence law is in effect. A judge has no choice but to sen tence each convicted criminal for a sentence that depends upon his behavior. The revised code leaves it optional with the judge to say whether a sentence shall be defnate or indeterminate.
 Several amendments were adopted. There is one provision of the revised code requiring pawnbrokers to make weekly re- ports to the authorities. An amendment to make this section apply also to second hand deal CTS was passed.
 Another amendment give S firms and corporations seven days leeway in complying with the semi-monthiy payday law, in stead of five Not until a con- cern has been delinquent seven days in making it's semi-monthly payment to employees does it be- come liable to prosecution.
 The committee on militia and public defense made a favorable report on H. B. 79, the revised military code. With an amend ment, the code bill relating to mine locations was reported for passage by the mines and mining committee.
 Indefinite postponement was recommended by the agricultural committee for Kerr's bill intend ed to check the spread of John son grass. The committee thinks the bill too drastic. It likes Jones' noxious weed bill better, and recommended it for passage with some amendments.
 Babbitt's amendment to the special road district law was re- ported favorably by the commit tee on county affairs.
 Jones' bill to provide funds for country teachers institutes was referred to the education com mittee.
 On motion of Lynch, the house decided to consider nothing ex- cept code bills till the return of the committee sent to investigate the suitability of Fort Grant as a location for the industrial This committee, which is composed of Jones, Ball Jacob son, Cooke and Murphy, left for the fort Saturday night.

UNCLE SAM |S GOOD TO HIS
 CHILDREN THE U. S. R. S. HAS INVESTED IN TWENTY-FIVE BIG PROJECTS AT EXPENSE OF $6s,0oo,ooo YUMA PROJECT RANKS THIRD TOTAL RECEIPTS FROM ALL PRoJ- ECTS UNDER WAY ESTI
 MATED AT $77, 7,ooo,ooo FOLLOWING REPORT WITH TAB- ULATED SUMMARY GIVES
 INTERESTING "DoPE"
 ON THE RECLAIM
 TON WORK

The present moment is a proper one to point out just what the United States Reclamation Service has ac- complished. The details follow: !.
 The act of Congress approved June IT, 1902, known as the Reclamation Act" created a fund for the reclama- tion of the arid lands from the moneys received from the sale of public lands in certain of the Western states and territories, except the 5 per cent. of the proceeds of such sales set aside by The estimated total receipts from this source to June 30 1912, are s77,612,- 201.41. Tn net investment of this fund in reclamation works on June 30, 1912, amounted to $69, S58,216.93.
 The act requires the Secretary of the Interior to determine the estimat- ed cost of construction. Entrymen and private landowners receiving any water from reclamation projects are therefore required to contribute their nroportion of the cost of construction, operation and maintenance of the prof ect wherein their lands are situated. The cash receipts from this source to June 30, 1912, were: Building repay ments, $2,156,422.75, and operation and maintenance, $S77,S25.S2.
 In addition, sales of water to towns and cities, leases of power developed on the projects, rentals or carrying charges for irrigation water, miscel- Janeous sales of old materials, etc, have produced an additional return of S31S9.275.56. Reimbursement for the work done for the Indian Service now amounts to $1,5S1, ,23662. Under the respective laws authorizing these transactions this amount is credited as a reduction of the cost of the projects.
 No new projects have been under taken since 1906, but prior to that date twenty-five primary projects had been undertaken, the net investment in which on June 30, 1912, amounted to s6S,S23, 3,171.56, as shown in the follow ing table:

 The young couple parted and went their ways. After long years of wait ing, the bride married another. Years passed and the second husband died The widow married again and the third died within a few years.
 And a few days ago the first hus band, aged and gray, turned up in the Kansas home city fthe bride of 42 years ago.

UTE INDIANS ADOPT THE NAMES OF NOTED
 PERSONS
COLORADO REDMEN BOAST OF "ELIHU ROOT" "cHAMP
 CLARK" ETC.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 2S.- The Indian Bureau census recently taken of the Ute Indians in Southwest ern Colorado, who a few days ago de fled the state authorities when they tried to arrest one of the band, shows that the redmen have in their tribe of less than 800 persons a remarkably large number of celebrities. They have an "Elihu Root" also a "ChamL Clark" and Ward Beecher." One of their m9n has been given the Eng fish name Of Virgil Clark, while Jan anese heroes have given rise to "Oy- anna Coyote" and 'Togo Weeks" one of their women being Kate Field.'
 In choosing surnames the Utes have picked some of the choicest they could find, among them Adams, Ban- croft, Kingsley, Beecher, Brooks, Mills, Browning, Harrison, Marsh, Howe, Lang and Peabody. One hears the proud name of Fatty Burr Clark while others sign themselves Babe Brown and Babe Deer.
