The Colorado Water Fight

new aspect was given the Colorado river water
fight this week when Robert Haynie, retiring presi-
dent Of the West Texas Chamber Of Commerce, in the
keynote speech" at the annual convention IN Fort
Worth, asserted that the organization should go on
record as opposed to granting of water permits which
were not intended for immediate utilization.
Relative 10 the power interests and their permits
for use Of Colorado waters, he stated: Start your dams
at once or we will ask the cancellation Of your permits
on the ground Of your inactivity
Mr.. Haynie probably overlooked the fact that he is
proposing a weapon that will SCOT both ways. The
opposition to the power companies arose from irriga-
ton interests which proposed to utilize the water near
the head Of the stream a some future date. In all the
conferences between the various interests, the West
Texans were charmingly frank in admitting they were
not prepared 70 utilize the water for irrigation imme-
the grounds that they might, at some very indefinite
time in the future, desire to use the water for irriga-
tion purposes.
So far as can be ascertained, practically every drop
Of water in the Colorado has been filed upon, and the
use Of water from the stream for irrigation purposes
Is almost negligible. The power companies have an
younced they propose TO erect the necessary impound-
ING dams as soon as possible, and will put the water,
now going to waste, TO work TO add TO the wealth and
industries Of Texas. In the meantime, the sc-called
irrigation interests. which propose to use the water
whenever they may desire il, are making no effort to
construct irrigation works or otherwise utilize the wa
tiers for which they have secured permits.
II cancellation Of the permits Of the power COM
panies is demanded, why would it not be equally log
ical to demand cancellation Of the permits for irriga-
ton? Apparently, the ambition Of Mr.. Haynie is to
reserve indefinitely for the lands at the head of the
streams the right 10 such waters, regardless Of how Sc
riously such policy would affect the power and irriga-
ton interests on the lower reaches Of the streams.

soft-headed jurymen are responsible for many .!
the crimes committed by auto speedsters of intoxicated
drivers. is the contention Of a California writer who
has collected considerable data on such cases in that
state and ascertained that juries are decidedly lax in
furnishing such offenders.
An Oregon man was recently arrested for driving
while intoxicated, and the jury failing to agree. he was
discharged. A few weeks later his car collided with
another, leaped onto the sidewalk. struck two pedes-
TRANS. crushing one TO death. He was arrested on a
manslaurhter charge. admitted he was intoxicated at
the time Of the accident, and was given a small fine.
The court records Of practically all states are full Of
similar cases. Apparently, juries refuse to regard
speeding in traffic or driving while intoxicated a. q

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL PLATFORM
(~Springfield Republican,.

ACptAuEAtNAu
Contention at the Kansas City convention seriously
developed at only two points in the adoption Of party
resolutions. The conflict over prohibition ended in
Senator Borah's easy victory, although the plank pre-
scented to the country is in advance of previous COM
mitments only in the sense that it specifically men
lions the Eighteenth amendment and pledges the party
and its nominees ito the observance and vigorous en-
forcement Of this provision Of the constitution"
This drips with hypocrisy far less than a declara-
ton in general terms for "law enforcement" The re-
publican party has been forced to move toward the dry
end Of the prohibition controversy. DR.. Nicholas Muir
ray Buffers demand for an Endorsement of the repeal
Of the amendment must be carried back to New York
Yet, advanced as it is, the plank does not discounte-
nance modification of the Volstead act, or even releas-
ing to the several states larger powers to define on
the local option principle an intoxicating drink and the
degree Of enforcement suitable TO local conditions.
There is still much intellectual dishonesty in all poiit-
ical commitments on this question. The republican
plank is designed to hold the dry vote as against q
democratic candidate whose personal record is as wet
as Governor Smiths. When carefully scrutinized in
the light Of all legislative possibilities hitherto sug-
gested, ii still leaves something to be desired by those
whose chief concern is the firm maintenance of the
system r prohibition in the United States.

PROVTNSE STORE REoPENED

Establishing a local record for rapid fire building con- struction, Edgar Provinse re- stunned business in his new store Monday afternoon, just a week from the commencement of construction operations. The resumption of business activi- ties was somewhat reminiscent of the gold rush days in the North, when stores were open ed on a few hours notice and goods were handed out from hastily opened packing cases scattered in riotous confusion about the premises. Construct ion is still continuing with a small army of men employed.

CHTCHACOFF MINES
 PURCHASES NEW CLAIMS

The Chichagoff Mines Com- pany has just completed the purchase of the "Sitka" and the 'Sitka No. 2" Mineral Claims, which immediately ad- join the property of the Chich- agoff Mines.
 Purchase was made by the allotment of 27,OOO fully paid Chichagoff shares.
 The "Sitka" and "Sitka No. 2" Claims comprise what is known as the 'Munley Group" which contains large min eralized shear zone with big quartz outcroppings.
 An extension of the Chicha golf Mines crosscut would in- tersect the Munley shear at a depth of 1900 feet below the surface.
 It is not intended to immedi- ately develop this ground, but in view of the satisfactory de- velopments on the Chichagoff Mines, the directors consider ed it a wise precaution to ac- quire the property immediate ly.

COLONIZATION FOR
 ALASKA PROPOSED
 BY NEW R. R. HEAD

Colonization in Alaska under governmental auspices as a means of developing the coun- try and providing revenue for the Alaska government rail- road, is advocated by Otto F. Ohlson, the new general man. ager of the Alaska Railroad, according to Seattle press dis patches.
 Colonization, just as the transcontinental railways col onized the western country, is the next step in Alaska's devel- opment," MT. Ohlson said in pointing out that an elaborate program for the colonization of the Territory means devel- opment of the region and rev. enue for the railroad.
 Alaska has much to offer the permanent settler and the rail- way goes through the heart of some of the best country" MT. Ohlosn continued, ''I feel that settlement and intensive de- velopment of resources will constitute desirable step in making the Alaska railroad self-sustaining and causing the upbuilding of the northern ter ritory to a permanent basis. "
 With a view to bringing about the realization of his plan, MT. Ohlson will make a survey on which he will base recommend ations to the Interior Depart ment.

GOOD PROGRESS
 ON B. C. SILVER

Recent development operat- ions on the new No. 5 level of the B. C. Silver property are reported on reliable authority to have resulted very favor ably, although failing to To- cate the high grade ore zone known to extend into the B. c. Silver from the adjoining Simpson claim of the Premier Company.
 As theB. c. Silver No. 5 level is some distance below the horizon of the Premier No. 3 level, where the rich ore was found, the failure to locate the ore body on No. 5 level in- dicates that the extensions probably dip from Premier at a much sharper angle than an ticipated and may be encount- cred at somewhat greater depth.
 The new level has been driv- en over 400 feet from the No. 2 shaft, located near the B. c line at north corner of the Simpson claim and is said to have encountered ore of commercial value over a large part of it's length. What is said to be the most extensive ore deposit cut by the drift is 30 feet in width and averages around $1O per ton. Crosscuts are now being run both ways from the drift to further ex- plore the ore areas so far To- cated.
 As the Premier is stoping good commercial ore only a short distance from the B. c. workings, the cross cuts may yield important developments at any time.

Lack of rain is holding up hydraulic operations on Inde- pendence and Eagle Creeks, in the Circle district, according to James H. Mamill, manager of the Clarence Berry interests in that camp. It will require five or six normal seasons to complete the hydraulic oper- ations on Eagle Creek, and there is pay enought left in the Creek bed on Independence to keep the plant there in oper- ation another year. After that the hydraulic nozzles will be shifted to the benches.

PREMIER EMPLOYEE
 DIES SUDDENLY

Overtaken by a sudden stroke while crossing the glac- ial ice at the head of the north fork of Marmot River Thurs day, Mike Semiloff, or Semi noff, an employee of the Pre- mier Gold Mining Co.,, collaps- ed suddenly and passed away within few moments, appar- ently from heart failure.
 According to the meager in- formation so far obtainable, the deceased was enroute to the Prosperity Group with several others, who were go- ing up to the mine to work. Shortly after starting across the glacier, the man suddenly faltered and dropped in his tracks. Efforts made by his companions to aid him were of no effect, death intervening before any effective aid could be rendered.
 Aside from the fact that the deceased was a Russian and had just been employed by the Premier Company, nothing could be learned of his ante cedents. The body was down the mountain Friday and was sent to Stewart, where an in quest will probably be held.

HIGH OFFICIAL IS
 LOOKING INTO
 JUDICIAL SITUATION

Action looking to the select ion of a judge to fill the va cancy caused by the death of Judge T. M. Reed may be ex- pected shortly as a result of survey of the situation now being made in person by Will jam Dewitt Mitchell, Solicitor General of the United States, according to Juneau advices.
 MT. Mitchell arrived in Jun eau last week with the avow- ed intention of making an in- quiry into the judicial situat- ion, in addition to looking in- to other Department of Just ice matters.
 In 8 statement to the Juneau Empire, the Solicitor General said the naming of a judge for a temporary assignment to clear up the present calendar was apparently of the first im- portance in his general survey, adding that an assignment will be made from one of the other Divisions of the Territory or from the States. According to MT. Mitchell, a number of Alaskans have been mentioned for the position, but no action will be taken toward the ap- pointment of a judge for the First Division until he has com pleted his inquiry.

RELEASES 4
 MILLION TONS ORE

Ore estimated at close to four and a half million tons was dis lodged from it's fastenings and broken for milling by a huge blast touched off at the Alas ka Juneau mine a few days ago, according to the Juneau papers.
 Thirteen tons of powder were exploded in the great mine blast, which rocked Juneau to it's foundations and caused many to believe an earthquake had occurred. A similar large blast was set off in the mine some months ago and created wide spread comment in the mining press, owing to the vast quantity of ore dislodged.
 As the company is now tram ming upward of 12,0O0 tons of ore every twenty-four hours, the ore broken down by the last blast will be sufficient to furnish mill feed for nearly a year official estimates being at least 300 days.
