aented to the 'city council.' The Informa
tion, however, was vouchsafed that the
report Is an exhaustive one' and deals with
all three propositions now before the city,
namely, the construction of . a municipal
plant In accordance with the plans of City

Pruca of New Tork, counsel for the stock
holders of the company.
The. committee. It Is said, while giving
All the facts and figures In favor of and
against each of the three propositions, does
not make any recommendation to the city
council, preferring to leave that body to
arrive at Ita own conclusions from the In
' forms! Ion contained In the report. ,

water works committee, arrived home Sat
urday, and it Is possible that his committee
may have- some recommendation to make
tonight. Up to yesterday no word had

hydraulic engineer employed by the com

. flcallona for the proposed municipal water
works plant prepared by the city engineer
and on which the bid of Contractor Wlck
ham was based.' It In possible, however,
that a report may be received from Mr.
Bryan before, tonight's meeting.
It Is understood thnt while In the east
Councilman Jensen mitde some inquiries re
garding the possibility of floating the city's
. bonds for a water works plant In the event
that It Is decided to award the contract
. to Wlckham. He Is .expected to report the
.result of his inqulrlen to hi fellow council

ANGUS CATTLE AT THE FAIR
Stiffeit Kind of Competition in This
Breed This Year.

(Trom a Staff Correspondent.)
DEB. MOINES. Ia.. Aug. 24.-tSpecial.)
There Is to be the stiffest kind of compe
tition this year In the Angus cattle' breeds
at the Iowa State fair. Angus cattle are
distinctly an Iowa cattle. The beat Angus
cattle there are In the world are right here
In Iowa. In fact there are no very big
and fine herds of Angus rattle except those
In Iowa. There are ome herds over In
Illinois snd some in other states, but Iowa's
herds lead them all.
. In Angus cattle in Iowa in years past.
Otto V. Battles of Maquoketa. Ia has had
somewhat tha best of It. W. A. McHenry
of Denlson, la., 1 quite an extensive
breeder of Angus cattle, but Battles has
seemed to lead tha raca In tha Iowa State
fair, aa well as In ethers. Lately the Rosen
gift Stock farm of Kelley, la., has been
organised with an avowed purpose of going
after the laurels of tha Maquoketa man.
In the Rosenglft Stock farm Is Prof. Ken
nedy, professor of animal tndust.y at the
Iowa State Agricultural college who is
counted one of the best Judges of live stock
In America.
This year the Rosenglft 8tock farm has
a lot of entries In the Angus breed. Otto
V. Battles Is fully aware of the intentions
of the Rosenglft people and he has brought
the best h has which he think Is the
best thst there Is. Angus lovers are there
fore looking with considerable Interest this
year. Furthermore, the Angus entries arc
more numerous this year than in previous
years. There are many more breeders en
tered than the three named and aome of
them have imported animals which are
likely to put up stiff competition for the
big prises.
Angus cattle are Scottish cattle, but in
this country they are more favored In
Iowa than In other states and the best
of them are raised In this state.
One of the Interesting things about the
cattle exhibits this year Is that while the
fain I keeping its place In number of en
tries and quality of the Shorthorns the
Hereford exhibits have come up and passed
all others. Heretofore the Kansas City
show has surpassed the Iowa ahow at least
in the number of entries in the Hereford
clasr. Trls year Iowa has passed them.
The Hereford exhibit la something Im
mense. Governor Packard, superintendent of the
cattle department, said today that In Here
fords the Iowa State fair this yesr out
classes anything In both quality and quan
tity and th!it the same Is true Toth of
Shorthorn and Angus. '
Foar Girls far Scholarship.
Only four girls competed this year for
the Ames Scholarship. Three of them will
get prixes. One will get 'a $100 scholarship
at the State Agricultural college, another
$50 and another $25. The money , will be
paid to them when they enter the college.
Undoubtedly there will be many more girls
enter the cooking contest another year.
The chance, of. a scholarship at Ames la
too valuable a prise. A prise of. $100 will
go a long way toward sending a girl
through one year of college:
' In the boya' contests the entries were
more numerous. The boya of Iowa eem
to realize the value of an education at
Ames and , they turned out in numbera.
There were a total of thirty-three entered.
They were given two rings of horses, two
rings of cattle and two of swine, with
three animals In each ring, and were re
quired also to Judge corn.
The boys who entered the contest were:
Tom Thornburg, Jr., of Linden, John B.
Slocum, Jr., of .Linden, Edmund P. Han

Want Maalclpal Laws.
It Is thought likely that the Iowa League
of Municipalities will become Interested
In the attempt to amend the state law as
to cities so that a' city can enter a bid
along with that of contractora for Ita
work. In that way. it will be impossible
for the contractors to combine and agree
on the price. Furthermore, when con
tractor get In a huff because a ilty makes
them live up to their contract and rrfuae
to bid at all the city can then go ahead
with the work anyway.
The ciiy cf Les Moines especially has had
trouble in this regard during the last year
which 1 the first year under the commis
sion plan of government. Under the old
order cf things contractors were allowed
extension of time on every pretext snd
could finish a Job of work whenever they
saw fit. Superintendent MacVlcar of the
department of streets and improvements
began by requiring the contractors to fin
ish their work on time. Then when he
advertised for bids on new work no one
bid on the work. The contractor were
determined to punish th city.
Furthermore there 1 always a suspicion
that In bidding on ciiy work there Is more
or less of agreement among the contrac
tors aa to the 'price that Is to be bid and a
proper division of the work among the
contractors on their own account.
Mr. MacVlcar' remedy 1 to allow the
engineering department of the city to bid
against the contractor. Plan and speci
fications will be furnished the contractora.
When th bids are all in if the city's bid
Is the lowest it will do the work. If It
makes money out of doing the werk In
paving Joba and tha like where the prop,
erty owners pay for the Improvement the
profits go Into the genersl fund and If the
city loses It take th deficit out of the
general fund.
It is furthermore proposed to amend th
law so that the varloua kinds of paving
will coin Into competition. It is claimed,
for Instance, that there i combination
on brick so that th price Is held up, but
on aaphalt and creosote blocks there Is
competition. At present th city must de
cide the kind of paving to go on a street
and then ask for bids. It i now proposed
to ask for bids on all kinds of paving and
th city take its choice after It has th
price on all kind before It.
There has been some talk of endeavoring
to get this amendment made at th iptclal
session of th legislature that Is expected
may be held, but that session may refuse
to consider general business.

People la States Where Streams Rise
Cannot Take All the
Water.
WASHINGTON,. Aug. 24. -That the fed
eral government has the right and will In
terfere In the Interest of "fair deal" lu
the matter of the appropriation of the
waters or Interstate streams for Irrigation
purpose I the position taken by Secre
tary Garfield' in connection with a number
of Irrigation projects on the headwaters of
the Rio Grande river, which stream rises
In Colorado and flow throuah New M.
ico. The projects which are responsible
for the secretary's action are located in
San Luis valley, a large tract of Inter
mountain arable land In southern Colo
rado, and his opinion is the result of f
personal Inspection.
' "I told the people interested," he said
"that ajl their appllcatrons for reservoli
sites would be favorably considered whn,
ever I should be convinced that they did
noi rati outside the regulations of the de
partment. A number of those anniir
Hons were held up for a time on account
or our treaty oblla-ations to Mexico whi,.
also are Involved In the Rio Grande prob
lem; Dut I showed them that having ar
rived at a decision as to the policy to be
followed towards Mexico, there would nj
longur be any delay. I told them, however,
that not only the Interests of Mexico, but
also those of New Mexico must be pro
tected. I attempted to make it clear that
prior rlghta in that territory must be-con-sldered
Just as they would be If they had
been acquired In Colorado, and I am
pleased to say there is no longer a general
disposition to claim all the water of the
stream for the people of Colorado simply
because the river heads In that state.
"I also took pains to have them under
stand another rule of the department and
that Is that while the department will
recognize priority of water rights It will do
so only, to tne extent that such rlghta have
been beneficially used, and thla statement
had the effect of assuring them that no
rights In Njw Mexico which had been ac
quired for mere speculative purpjses
would be permitted to cut out any legiti
mate applications made by Colorado people.
I told them also that I should not approve
applications made In Colorado In the Inter
est of speculation only. In short, I irled
to make them understand that the depart
ment would dp all It could to encourage
the settlement and the reclamation of the
arid country, but that whatever It did
must be done in a bonl fid manner. I
therefore assured them that ail applications
which did not Interfere with acquired rights
In New Mexico and with our treaty agree
ment to supply Mexico with water for
40.OM acres on the Mexican aide of th
lower Rio Grand and for J6.000 acres on th.
American side would be approved If other
wise in proper shape."
While Mr. Garfield' action In this case
appliea only to Colorado It will no doubt
be used ss a precedent in ettling th right
of all other headwater a'atea when similar
questions aria.
