big irrigation bill.
'i
Washington, Dec. 3.—Representa
tive Shaffroth this afternoon intro
duced his bill foe the construction of
reservoirs in arid land states and for
the disposal of the public lands re
claimed. The bilf directs the geologi
cal survey to make accurate surveys
of at least four practical* reservoir
sites in each of the arid land states,
and estimate the cost ot the construc
tion and completion of the samo.
The director of the geological sur
vey is directed 10 make a report to
the secretary as to each reservoir and
irrigating ditch, showing the survey,
cost of const motion and quantity of
public land in the state which can be
irrigated from such reservoir. Upon
the tiling of the report the secretary
may withdraw ftom public entry the
lands embraced within the reservoir
site at high water mark, and a strip
of ground fifty feet in width border
ing .on it f»pi} tfiq land within fifty
feet on each side of the center line of
the irrigating ditches, to be »con
struoted in connection therewith to
gether with the public lands which it
is to irrigate.
Up'n £he determination by the
secretary that the reservoir and irri
gation projects are practicable, he
shall cause contracts to be let to the
limit of $1,000,500 in each arid land
state. The bill appropriates $9,000,
000 for irrigation purposes
AFTER THE BATTLE.
The Republican ticket in the late
election throughout the pstiqn
generally successful for the reason
that the voter had been led to believe
that the Republican party had been
the cause of the increase of business
ail over the country, and that if per
petuated in power there would still
be employment for labor and invest
ment for capital. Unless these ap
parent pledges are redeemed it is most
likely that its reign of power will end
with its present tenure of office. Os
course the Republican party may re
tail! its hold on the offices of the
country for many years yet, for
reasons not chargeable to its own
tactics, nor deserving from i(.| cwn
conduct. It may stay in power as it
frequently obtained it, from the
incompatency and mismanagement of
the leaders of its opposition. Whether
the Republican party can niaiqtain its
reputation of having caused the late
prosperous period depends upon its
ability to keep dojyn the national ip
dehtedness to a poipj l no ** ar * n a(^“
vance of where it yyas when it went
into power in 1896, and also keep the
country iu a prosperous and happy
condjtion.
We have an abiding faith that
naught but the purest patriotism
actuates the grant! minds who lead the
*1 * ~ •
old party to victory in 1900. May
we not be depeived.
WASTE OF NEEDED WATERS.
Many sections of the west are be
ginning to reap the bitter fruits of
forest destruction. A few years agp
the snow would drip aqd pile up ip
the mountain gulches, thickly studded
with pine and other trees, forming an
almost impenetrable forest protection,
and there gradually melt away, sup
plying water for the streams qntjl lace
in the season. This now, has tqo
often changed. The timber has grad
qally, but surely been cut apd burnt
away, pntil now some of the fiqqgt
forests of the mountains have disap
peared, and where the snow bauks
would remain until late ip
they now disappear months earlier,
and instead of melting gradually, the
flood waters come with a rush and
then cease when most needed. Theie
is scarcely anything more important
than sorest protection and preaefYA
tion which means a guarding of the
water supply, and every territory and
every section should rouse to active
Organization and national eo-opeca
tion.
Some sports qt Phoenix attempted
to get up a bull fight during the
carnival this week. The moral ans
decent element at once protested, but
the promoters were going right ahead
as there seemed to be no territorial
law to step it. But thanks to the
fact that we arn a territory, wc are
spared this disgrace and shame. Con
gress some five years ago enacted a
law making it a felony to have bull
fights and as soon as this statue was
discovered it was wisely decided that
none shoujd held. But the little
incident shows that we have with us
a certain element that has always to
be legislated for to oompel thetq to be
decent and orderly, Bull fights are a
thing of the past, and the territory is
$o be congratulated that none was al
lowed at this time, jurt when all are
working for statehood.
The Mesa militia jiag good reason
to feel sore at its treatment at the
hands of the Carnival Committee. A
few days ago orders were received
directing the local company to go to
Phoenix last Monday and to take part
in the parade, it being stated tfiat their
fare to Phoenix and return would be
arranged for. Frequent telegraphic
communication with Phoenix failed to
disclose that any transportation ar
rangements had been made At all.
Lieut. W. J. Leßaron marched his
eqqipauy to the train, but declined to
go any farther, as fares were demand
ed, and the company was marched
back to their barracks. Last year the
officers paid the fares with the promise
that it should he repaid by the Car
nival Committee, which was never
• t it
done. An apology is certainly due
in this matter to the militia.
Pension Uommissioner Ev#ns has
lately stated that 34,000 applications
for pensions on account of the Spanish
Ameiican war hap already come in.
This number equals, says the Pitts
buig Dispatch, the whole number of
men we had in the ti< Id in that war.
Shifter took 14,000 to Santiago, and
re-enforcements brought the whole
number sent there t<» 20,000. Gen.
Miles took 6,000 jo Rorto Rico, where
there was no tightii g, and most ts
them soon returned. Merritt took
lj,ooo or. 12,000 These
are all who went out of the country
and got into tho virini'y of actual war.
But there were about 160,000 more
who spent more or I«** time in camps
in various parts of the country. It s
improvable tfiat the pension ejaims are
all in yet. New claims on acqouct of
the civil war have been coming in ever
since. On the other hand, not all it
the claims made will be allowed at
first, but the pension agents will rot
let them did. In one form or another
they will be kept before the pension
bureau or congress. The claimants on
account of the Philippine war have yet
to be heard from. They will prosq-r
bly be at leqst as many more as those
on account of the war with Spain.
A suit of some sjae qnd importance
was filed in the District Couft }as{;
Saturday. It is entitled Joseph S,
Petepon ant} Frank P rew > P la jV"
tiffs, vs. Ip. W. Wiloqr, dpfendant.anc}
the arnoqnt pued for is about $7,000.
The cause of action arose over a part

over about two years. Frazier <fc
and A. P. Shew are
plain'ifFs attorneys.
In the haste of Thanksgiving week
we omitted to note that Tom Zfensop
was discharged for the alleged stealing
of a calf. Justice Tomlinson failed to
find any inteut to steal on jjie part of
defendant, and stated that he thought
the proper ren edy was a civil aqtjpp.
The parties have since arbitrated the
matter and the plaintiff Joseph W.
I Qlarke was awarded the calf. ' ,Jt posj
