"It is a noteworthy fact," contin ued the conductor, "that tile class of ruilroud men on the U. R. A X is improving every year. There are few of the old-time 'boomers’ now working on the line.

"Formerly a railroad man was sup posed to be a habitually migratory species, with the result that the good ■nen among the* were blamed for all the faults of the bad ones. "More rigid examinations, more ef- ficency and skill that are required, and the general sentiment among managers to refuse the ’boomer work has brought about a healthy change in conditions.

Under the proposed law the dut) of water for Irrigation shall not b»- more than one cubic foot of water per second for each 70 acres, and the standard measurement fur volume of water shall be the acre-foot, being the amount of water neceaeary to cover one acre to a depth of one foot, or 41.SC0 cubic feet. Vaster Belong«* to land. The most vital and valuable section in the proposed law is that one mak ing all water rights appurtenant to the land upon which it is used, thus abolishing forever speculation in wa ter. The law covers every imaginable phase of irrigation and so systemat ises the subject that there is no waste water as at present. No man can se cure title to more water than his land requires and every stream is thus made to cover the widest possible area. Old water rights must go through the courts, and be fixed by decrees where the law cannot cover the case.
