Senator Akers and Representa
tive Harris have been confronted
during the past few days with
dozens of petitions from their con
stituents demanding the repeal of
section 2034 of the irrigation bill.
Not only have these, petitions been
sent, but resolutions passed at
public meetings as well. Men who
were instrumental in the nomina
tion and election of Messrs. Akers
and Harris have filed strong pro
tests against the passage of the
measure without repealing or mod
ifying section 2034. In the lace of
these petitions, ""(.resolutions and
protests, will Akers and Harris
defiantly disregard therdemands of
the people of 'their1 respective dis
tricts, and vote the bill as it
stands? If they do, their reception
when they return home will be any
thing but pleasant to them and
they ever af terwards will be pointed
out as men who betrayed their constituents.

A REPLY.
Ed. Triijuxe: Allow me a brief
space in your paper to reply to a
communication in your last issue,
signed "Old Soldier." 1st. If "Old
Soldier" will study his dictionary
he will find quite a difference in the
meaning of the words "part" and
"member." We do not claim to be
members of the G. A. R.; but as
our membership is limited to moth
crs, wives and daughters of honora
bly discharged soldiers and sailors
who served during the rebellion, by
that glorious heritage of birth or
marriage, we arc a part of the G
A. R., and were so recognized by
the department convention of the G.
A. R. held at Hastings last month.
2d. Would "Old Soldier" have his
! readers infer that he would ignore
"nearest and dearest?" But no
matter how he may feel toward us,
we have for all old comrades only a
feeling of "Fraternity, Charity and
Loyalty."
3d. We de not ask to be auxilary
to the G. A. R., as we feel it is more
honor to be part of that grand or
ganization. A Member of S. A. Douglas Cir
