ulolod down , the clouds disappear at

of Slate Engineer Dolison yesterday
I believe Irrigation will bo on the in
crease for many yearn In the northern
part of the state , " snld Mr. Francis
"Ilaln bus boon plenty this spring
but It is not always thus , and the owners
ors of lands have begun to llm ! out
the value of Irrigation. At present
the state department is having a nlct
question to solve in the storage o
Hood water. Many ranchmen in wha
Is known as the bad l.inds luvo bull
dams across gulches for the purposi
of storing storm water. In some cas
es others have bulH dams above Ihosi
with the determination of storing water
tor for domestic purposes. Under the
law the storage of water for domoslic
purposes is given the preference , bu
If this is allowed , the men lower dowi
will get m > water and they are now
complaining. State Engineer Dobsoi
has a plan to cure the complaint l >
amending the law so as to call fo
water by the acre feet Instead o
water by the cubic foot per second
Some form of measurement of till
sort would enable the builders of dam
to gel as much as the law allows ant
no more Instead of being allowed tc
till their ponds. It Is surprising th
.unoiint of produce that can ho raiset
from water from a small pond. "

RAIN SPOILED THE RACING
But In Spite of the Weather Man , the
Crowds Which Came to Norfolk
Stayed All Day and Had n Good
Time Features Accidents.
( From Wcdnumliiy'H Dally. ]
A third of July with unusual foa-
uro.s nnd a largo contribution of
nolsturo caused Norfolk to awaken
lowly to the enthusiasm of the
'mirth. The streets were Inches deep
n mud , the decorations were fndod
mil bedraggled nnd the tlrst gathering
) f the crowd looked more like It hnd
line to put In nnd didn't know howe
o do It than one early and eagerly
istlr to HOO a program that the mud
uid wetness could not Interfere with.
OnthiiHlasm nnd certainty were Inek-
ng and It depended on the day ns It
advanced to supply the lack. That It
lid develop was duo to the fact that
loople wore determined to hnvo n cel
ebration In spite of adverse condi-
lons. All reserve , care of dainty
toots and hoed for the color of skirts
nnd dresses had to be overcome bo-
ore the spirit of enthusiasm could bo
irought to the surface.
It was fully 9 o'clock before there
vns any movement' to Indicate that , a
celebration was on. It commenced
vlth the assembling of the Valentino
> and on the band stand at the corner
of Third street and Norfolk avenue .
There a pleasing concert program was
ondered nnd the crowd of several
iiindred drifted there to listen to the
unslc , occupying the walks and try-
ng to keep out of the mud. Soon nf-
orward the carnival band attracted
ho crowd to the platform In the same
iclghborhood where a "boneless" man
icld the attention of the crowd for a
line , then to the swinging rings be-
, ween Fourth and Fifth streets. Fol-
owing this was the water fight be
ween Fifth and Sixth streets that was
contested with vigor and persistence
> y both teams , one of which was final-
y drowned out. Then came the high
live. The strong wind prevailing
undo the position of the man on top
of the high and narrow tower exceed-
ugly precarious and he was some
line In gauging his descent , but he
inally cut loose , turned over once and
It in the shallow tank with a splash ,
mmedlntoly afterward appearing
nbove the surface of the water and
climbing over the top of the tank.
\nother water fight took place be
tween Second nnd Third streets , and
hen the crowd was loft to find its
> wn amusement , which It did with en
thuslasm , making the rounds of the
various attractions , good naturodly
shovir.g and jostling for places on the
walk and looking up places for dlnne.r.
By noon the crowd hnd swelled until
tlio walks were taxed to accommodate
them and they were splashing through
the mud with small heed to cense
nonces.
It was a bright day overhead and
the wind helped to dry up the mud
rapidly. Warmth came with the ap
pearance of the sun , and at midday
there was on tap the usual Fourth of
Inly conditions , lacking the dust.
In The Afternoon.
Tito afternoon , according to the pre
viously arranged program , had been
scheduled for the races at the track
but the rain of the day before made
'ho course unfit for the horses nnd
ilio speed feature had to bo abandoned
entirely.
At 2:15 : Professor Dana Thompson
made another of bis high dives from
the lengthy ladder , which attracted
much Interest. Then the shows on
the street , belonging to the carnival
company , ntarted up and did business
all the rest of the day. The shows
are clean and above the average of
their typo.
The warm sun made genuine Fourth
of July wcnthcr In the afternoon and
the bowery , the shooting gallery , the
man with the wheel who gave away
watches and load pencils , the ferrls
wheel and the tent shows had crowds.
Ilaln In the evening frightened many
nway and a strong wind threatened to
overcome the high dive stunt but at
9 o'clock the wind had gone down and
Mr. Thompson climbed to the top ol
the ladder. Amid a blaze of redness
he dropped off in tlio night , turned
over once and lit right side up with
care. Thompson does not dive head
first. Ho jumps off , turns ono somer
sault backwards and lights In a dou
bled up.
Pandemonium reigned after dark ,
with rubber bladders predominating.
