mission consist of the governor the state auditor and the attorney gen eral, pointing out that the enabling act had given to these officials charge of the lands granted to the state by the act. The amendment was lost by narrow margin At this point Mir. Martin suggested a land commissioner instead of a com mission consisting of three members ing the state engineer That amend = ment was lost
 The commission proposed in the bill was then accepted with the change that the appointments by the governor should be with and by the advice and consent of the senate. The chairman of the land commission shall be designated by the governor, and
 he shall also perform the duties of surveyor general
 The bill provided that the members of the commission should be paid salaries of 5000 a year each, as at present, the salary of the chief draughtsman to be $500 a year: stenographers and clerks to be allowed $1200 a year. In addition the mem | bers of the commission were to be
 allowed their travelling expenses. This allowance was extended in favor of all employees of the commission The | bill had failed to make provision for a chief clerk That was corrected and his salary was fixed at $2400 a year | Here an attack was made on the salary list The, salaries of the mem bers of the commission were reduced | to $2400 a year and that of the chief 1 clerk to $2100. An attempt to restore
 the salary of the chairman of the
 commission to 5000 failed.
 While the attempt to change the personnel of the commission was in 1 progress MT. Karns asked: "Do you | want to send these men, (the gov
 ernor the state auditor and the at
 torney generaD out on the desert to land?T
 To which Chairman Goldwater re- piled. q know some people who
 would like to send them out on the
 desert so that they would get lost and
 never be found"
 MT. Riggs attacked the commission
 on it's record of futility and extrava- gance in the last three years. The expenses of the commission had ex-
 ceeded by more than $30,000 all the
 revenues that had been derived from the lands selected It would be bet
 ter, he said. that the state give ur | the land than to maintain such ar
 organization. It had, he asserted done
 worse than nothing. Though it had
 selected but small part of the lands
 granted to the state, it had caused
 great areas to be withdrawn from
 entry and had thereby prevented set
 tlement, so much needed in Arizona. | It was at this juncture that Dr
 Bacon proposed a solution by ar
 amendment making the state engineer
 land commissioner"
 | The reading then proceeded fol
 several sections without interruption
 izing the commission to employ
 counsel in case of litigation that
 might arise in consequence of its
 performance of it's duties That wa.
 stricken out on the motion of MT Drachman.

until section 20 was reached, defin- ing the duties of the board of ap- praisers which was amended to con form to the changes previously made in the personnel of the board. Section 21. following the enabling act provided that no land shall be appraised for lease or sale at less than $3 an acre and no lands which are or shall be susceptible of irri- gation under any project now or hereafter completed or adopted by the United States under legislation | for the reclamation of lands or un der any other project for the rec lamation of lands. at less than S25 an acre"
 1 MT Webb called attention to the 1 fact that there was much land of both classes that would not bring nearly so much as the minimum prices here fixed and he moved that the section be so amended that the figures should not apply to the leas- 1 ing of the land, but only to their ap- praisal and sale
 That was done and the reading proceeded without interruption for a half dozen pages the only other changes being in the way of unin- tentlonal errors in the copy, or else comparatively unimportant ones When section 41 was reached, less than half the bill having been cov- cred, the committee laid it aside for ether matters before the committee of the whole. Though the bill was gone over rapidly and with com paratively little debate, it is un- derstood that some of the agreements reached will be revised, perhaps with difficulty.

Unless there is a rearrange-
ment of present plans, the
Cello Canal will be opened for
the passage of boats for five
days in April, probably between
the 10th and 18th, and it is ex-
pected that number of steamers
now on the upper river will be
brought to Portland for over
hauling and two or more boats
will carry freight from Portland
to Pasco, Kennewick and other
points. Construction work on
the canal is practically finished,
but little remaining to be done
except to clean out an accumu-
lation Of refuse and to build a
few bridges for the accommoda-
ton of owners of fish wheels
and two for the passage of
teams. The canal is being fin
ished several weeks earlier than
was expected, and it will prob
ably be opened permanently for
navigation on May 1st.

SCHOOL PICNIC

The Riverside V" school
house was the scene of a large
gathering of people from the
various school districts Fri
day, March 18th. This is an
annual affair and one much
looked forward to by parents,
pupils and teachers because of
its both educational and social
value.
MI. Coin, the county superin-
tendent, opened the meeting
with q short address which made
everyone feel at home and well
come. The Salado and River
side schools entertained with
programs in the morning. Much
credit is due Mrs. Daniel, the
Riverside school teacher, for the
splendid program which she pre-
pared dialogues, songs, recita-
tons and the novel feature,
storytelling by the pupils from
the primary grades.
Then came the crowning
evort-dinner. In a short time
plsnks were lail TO form I'M
promptu tables, and in an amaz-
ingly shorter time, the tables
were heaped with such a variety
of dainties that We'd with the
