MEN MAY END OWN LIVES
Utah Judge Shows Advantages Of
Custom of Allowing Deemed crimi-
mails to Commit Suicide.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-The method
to be used hereafter in executing Grim
inals in the state of Utah has become
a topic widely discussed since the leg
islature convened.
The latest idea expressed is that
condemned criminals be allowed to
take their own lives, after they have
exhausted every means to have the
death sentence set aside.
The state law now provides that
condemned criminals be executed
either by shooting or hanging. the
choice to be made by the person to
be executed.

forth the advantages of the Chinese

board to handle affairs. An unbiased
and truthful comment upon this
point was made in 1908 by the Ore
gon Conservation Commission. ]. n.
Teal, chairman, when it submitted its
report to the governor. on page SO
OF that report appears the following:
The disadvantages Of operations
under the Carey act in Oregon are;
% The state must develop corps
of legal and engineering experts in
this line of work which is impossible
without the appropriation of money
or some indirect provision for ad-
ministrative expenses; CD Oregon
cannot take the initiative in survey
ing and locating feasible projects;
(Sl promoters are unwilling to spend
any money for surveys and preparing
plans for fully developing the wa
ter supply, and yet demand that the
state execute contracts for the con-
struction of works where the plans
and engineering information is in
adequate: (4) since the state law does
not specify that construction work
should be completed within a reas-
enable time and that a bond be given
for specific performance, the pro-
moter generally occupies himself in
selling his contract to some company
who desires to construct the works;
(5) the new company after partially
completing the undertaking is liable
to find the cream SKINNED from the
expected profits; Co in case of fail
ure. the company will be found per-
hips to have collected large amount
of money from prospective settlers,
the works unfinished, and the land
impossible to irrigate from the un-
finished works"
Caustic words for the Carey act
yet everybody knows the charges are
true The former Umatilla county
citizen, now a settler under a Crook
county Carey act project. who cried
while addressing the recent irrigation
congress can corroborate what the
Conservation Commission said. If
under existing laws the state board
has been unable to protect settlers
and the state in the past why invite
fIlther disaster under the terms of

Through a desire to embarass the
governor or for some other reason
the legislature has gone astray on the
subject of swamp land legislation. 1,

First as to the probable value of the
lands in question.
In 1909 a booklet called Irrigation
in Oregon was published by the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton. The book is by John H. Lewis,
state engineer and was prepared
under the direction of Samuel For
tier, chief of irrigation Investigations
On page go the author refers to the
Klamath project and recites that the
project calls mot only for the irri-
CATION of valley lands but for the

parts of Lower klamath and Tule
lakes, lands which are now either
that the principal products under the
project will be alfalfa. grain, fruit and
vegetables.
on page 45 the booklet has the fol-
lowing to say about Summer Lake
which is very close to Warner Lake:
THE water from numerous small
streams entering Summer Lake from
the west has been diverted for irri-
cation purposes and phenominal re-
suits for an election of $500 feet
have been secured. The most delicate
fruits and vegetables. including ap-
ricots, tomatoes. etc, have been sue
cessfully grown"
Referring to Warner Lake the re-
port says:
considerable wild hay is cut each
year along the shores of Goose and
Warner Lakes and the summer flow
of tributary streams is diverted for
irrigation purposes. Better transpor-
tation facilities for this central Ore
gon region seem assured now and il
IS believed that this comparatively
undeveloped section Of the state will
offer exceptional opportunities for
the home builder ana investor"
From the foregoing it is seen that
four years ago experts on the sub
ject did not look upon this swamp
land as valueIess for settlement and
fit only for grazing purposes. one
would judge from what they say that
the land may be made very valuable

nificant that the reclamation service
