tho corporations. In tho matter of grant
ing franchises the work of their agents Is
evident. For Instnnce, section 59 of tho
bill ns originally Introduced In the houso
reads that no franchlso shall bo granted
er extended by the city council until mc
Dronoscd ordlnanco granting tho samo shall
hnvo been published for two weeks In some
newsnnpcr of general circulation In tho
city, then If thero bo no remonstrnnco tiled
by nt least 5 per cent of tho legal voters
tho council shall bo at liberty to grant
tho franchise for a period of not exceed
Ing nvo years. Hi case n remonsiranco oi
five per cent of tho legal voters Is filed
then the franchise shall not bo granted
or extended unless n majority of tho legal
voters shall voto In favor of the snmo at
a general or special election. This por
tlon of tho bill seemed to meet with the
approval of a largo number of tho business
men and property owners of South Omaha,
but the amendment takes all tho good out
of tho original section. Hero Is tho nmend

ho drew from his pocket a printed copy
of tho amendments

Even with a known scarcity ot cattle
121,571 head havo been received hero so
far this year and this Is only a decrease
of i'Jl bead as compared with the same

Mr. Carpenter said yesterday that Ho
crossed the Ice of tho Missouri river and

"I propose taking a rest now," anld no,
"and I'm going to travel all over the west.
I want to go through the mountnlns of
Colorado, up Into Wyoming nnd ns far west
as Portland. My trip will probably con-
sumo a year. This will bo tho first vaca
tion I have had In thirty years."
In order to lighten the work on his farm
whllo he is away, Mr. Carpenter will sell
half n hundred head of cattle, Home horses
and hogs. Nearly everyone In South Omaha
Is acquainted with "undo" Dick nnd all
wish him n pleasant vacation. Ho will

WASHINOTON. March 10. (Special.)
Tho Department of Agriculture hns Issued
as bulletin No. 9il a paper entitled "Irriga
tion Laws of the Northwest Territories of
Canada and Wyoming," with discussions
by J. S. Dennis, deputy commissioner of
public workH ot Oannda; Fred Ilond, state
engineer of Wyoming, nnd J. M. Wilson,
agent nnd expert In the ofllco ot Irrigation
nvcstlgatlons nt Cheyenne, Wyo.
Tho bulletin was prepared under the di
rection of Prof. IClluood Mead, Irrigation
expert In charge ot tho olTlcc of irrigation
Investigations, who, In submitting the sub
ject matter of the publications to tho De
partment of Agriculture, stated:
"This publication hns been prepared be-
causo of n demand for Information regard
ing thu Wyoming law and tho Canadian
northwest Irrigation act, both of which
were partially described In bulletins num
bered f.S and CO ot the office of experiment
stations. Several ot tho western states are
now earnestly seeking for somo way to
put an end to the litigation nnd contro
versy and to piovldo somo simpler, cheaper
nnd moro effective method of establishing
titles to streams than Is posslblo through
a resort to tho courts. The success which
has nttended tho operation of the ttfo laws'
therein civen makon them worthy of studv
and tho six principles noted as having
served as n culdo In the framlne of tho
Interpretation of the northweat Irrigation
act arn hnlleved to tin an anund nnd ftnidn-
mental as to be worthy of general ndop-
tlon. 1 bellovo tho publication of tho but-
lctln will bo of service In pointing tho
way to much-needed reforms In many of
the nrld stntes.

ThiJ six principles upon which tho Cana
dian northwest Irrigation law Is based aro
as follows:
Klrm Thnt llin water In nil ntrenms.
InkeH, ponds, springs or other sources Is
tne, property or tuu crown.
Second That thla wnter mnv bo obtained
by companies or individuals for certain de
scribed uses upon compliance wttli tho pro-
visums oi tno law.
Third That tho usea tnr which water mav
bo so ncntilred nre "domestic." "Irrlantlou"
and "other" purpose, domestic purposes
being limited to household mid minltnry

Fourth Thnt tho comtiany or Individual I

Deputy Commissioner Dennis In his re
view of tho operation ot tho Canadian
northwest Irrigation net based upon these
principles, gives brlclly but comprehensively
an Interesting nccount of the operation of I
tho law, which Is In tho main successful.
Ho concludes "that while the Canadian
laws relating to Irrigation are In their In
fancy or formative atago and possibly weak
In many respects, tho guiding principle and
nlm ot theso laws Is security ot title ana
tho use of tho available water In such maiv
ncr as to bring the greatest and most last
Ing benellt to tho greatest number."
That portion of the bulletin devoted to
tho Irrigation system of Wyoming, In ad
dltlon to the text ot tho Wyoming Irri
gation law, contains forms ot the various
applications, permits nud other papers used
by tho state officers In tho administration
of tho law, which Is rccognl?.cd as the most
advanced and practical of any system ot
tho western stntes. Tho bulletin contains
a number of Illustrations nnd maps and la
n valuablo addition to the Irrigation lit-
craturo which has been Issued by tho Do
partment ot Agriculture
During tho past year a forco of employes
unacr ennrge oi lupiain juiiich h. nwiuer
lias Dccn engaged in exploring ine suoicr-
ranean recesses of the capltol building for
tho purposo of gathering up the overflow
volume of government publications which
hnvo been accumulating In forgotten room
nnd corridors for n century past. This
search has been nmply rewarded. Captain
Swltzcr's men, hnve found 168,000 volumes
of books which wero scattered In vnrlous
part3 of tho capltol from alcove rooms tn
the domo to the lowest vaulta In tho re-
cesses of the basement. Theso volumes In-
cludo copies of nearly every bound publl-
cation Issued by tho government since Its
establishment. There are thousands of
copies of tho old Congressional Globe, many
of tho still older Congressional Annate, do-
unrtmeut reports of nearly 100 years ago
and scores of books long slnco thought un
obtainable excepting from tho Congres
sional library and which aro of valuo to
collectors.
(.'atacoiiiba Free of Hooka.
These books, Bomo so valuablo and
thousands of them useless, were scattered
through the capltol In endless contusion;
those In tho dark basement rooms wore
rovorpd Inches deep with tho dust of scores
or years aim iiunureos or mem, prinieu
years and years ago, had never had tho
original wrappings of tho printing office
removed from them.
Captain Swltzer's forco, which was em
ployed under resolution ot Congressman E
W. Roberts of Massachusetts, creating a
special committee on preservation and dls
trlbutlon of government publications, has
cleaned, dusted, shelved, classified nnd cat
nlogued this great collection of books and
the visitor who chances to stray Into the
depths of tho houso basement may wander
through great catacombs of masonry sldefi
and floors filled with this collection. Ask
for tho government publication of nny year
during tho past century nnd It will ha
forthcoming Instantly.
It Is proposed to apportion tho publica
tions collected among members ot-congross
for distribution among school, college nnd
public libraries of tho country. The work
of collecting the books has cost t,G00, but
It is douhtful If any'expcndlturo of a llko
nmount of money in tho government serv-
Ico has shown more beneficial results.
Mr. J. w. Patterson, night pollco at
Nashua, la., says; "In January I had a
very bad cold on ray lungs nnd liBed half a
dozen different cough medicines nnd pre
scriptions rrom iwo doctors, but grew
worse all tho time. I finally bought a bot
tle of Foley's Honey nnd Tar and after
using two-thirds of It I was entirely cured."
