THE IRRIoATINo CANAL.

The Surveyor have completed the survey
Of the ditch frou, point eleven nils west
Of Dodge City To Speareviie. Il is the de-
ign Of the propriesors 10 extend the ditch
to Kinsley. The line a, this point does not
run on the "divide' a. ws cont, mplsied,
bat uakss course along the hills at an ele-
vstion Of about eighty feet above the bed OF
the river. The lie runs sixty feet orh Of
the court house and 400 feet north OF the
school house. II strikes the divide three
miles east Of Dodge. and flllows thence on
pretty even and to Spesreville. To reach
the lands lying north OF Dodge City il
would Be necessary to Commences the orch
at Garden City. Some idea Of The
meandering course Of the proposed canal
may be found in the fact that the head OF
the ditch il eleven miles wesi Of here while
the survey shove distance Of seven cen
miles. Abont 5000 acres Of bluff and bot
tom lands Can be irrigated b-t~een this
point and the source Of the ditch. A great
body Of land can be irrigated on the east
line Of the diicn or canal. A ditch running
on the divide, and for furnlrhins ~ster on
the uplands north OF Dodge, will be con-
strucied in the near future. Should the
proposed ditch be successful and practicable.
an irrigating ditch on the divide would soon
be in operation.
The ditch ~ surveyed, will be Of incalcu-
liable benefit 10 this city. The water can be
used for various purposes, supplied from
reservoirs which can be constructed at points
where the ditch change i,s course, or wher-
ever it Is deemed desirable. The wafer can
be used for garden purposes. But The pro-
lection against fire which can b made is OF
paramount importance, and this one benefit
will be greatly advantageous.
The ditch will be thirty feet wide and i,
IL designed to convey four or Eve feet Of
water The ditch would be no deeper, il
being banked up sufficiently with the earth
excavated. A large reservoir will be con-
strucied at the head Of the main ditch, which
will suppF the water, and whether ,he
river il full or low water can be mad from
the subterranean current or flow. We be-
lieve no one will dispute the water supply.
II would be a. reasonable to dispute the
source Of supply in the mountains. The
river may appear low and "dry" but there
is an underfow in the sands, and it . to
reach that source the projectors have in
view.
A soon as the survey is completed, the
charter, right Of way and other prelimina-
ries will be arranged, when the work Of
construction will begin. An improved
diiching machine will be used, and the
work will be speedily accomplished. Per-
hays by spring the ditch will be operating.

HE NEW YORK HERALDS VIEW OF II.
The Yankee faculty for getting out of any
thing just twice as much as any one else could
i hlariOusly cXemplited by the New England
societies in this neighborhood, for by the Brook
lYn society dining on the eve of Forefathers'
Day and the New York Society beginning less
than twenty-four hours after the other ends
many of these astute Yankees enjoy two cele-
bratlons of Il single holiday. If any day deserves
double celebration, however, it is that which
commentaries the beginning of the colonies
whose sons and daughters have unwearyinglv
disseminated pumpkin pie, town meetings, May
flower furniture, school ma'ams, Thanksgiving
Day, Goldfish balls and the principles of religious
liberty throughout land IA hundred times as
large as the mother country. Had it not been
for the Pilgrim Fathers and their successors
there would have been no "Cradle of LIBERTY"
no New England characterization no Med
ford rum. Indeed. there would never have Teen
any Boston to give Il distinguished title to baked
beans, brown bread and novels without plots.
j the section whose beginning was at Ply
mouth Rock two hundred and siXty-two years
ago u grateful nation owes cheap clocks. hair
splitting theology and the tightening rod man.
Had there been no New England there would
have been no Cambridge elm under which
Washington could take command of the Ameri-
can Army; and every Yankee knows that for
the Father of His Country not to have first
drawn his supreme sword in sight of Boston
would have taken all the glory out of the Revo-
owes that physical angularity that was the
marvel of the world until the aesthetic craze
took it up and pronounced it beautiful. Had
not the Mayf10Wer come over there would never
have been any Salem witchcraft, Bunker Hill
Monument or General Butler; there would
have been ne Boston Common skating pond
story to fire the Juvenile American heart, nor
any story of paul Revere's Ride" to make the
schoolboy choke deliciously as he reads it aloud.
Were there no New England there would be no
huge Sound steamers to run down smaller
boats in rivers and make business for New
York coroners, nor would there be any Senator
Hoar to frantically throw Il screen of respect
ability In front of the nakedness of the river
and harbor steal. Well may the sons of New
England rejoice douby OH this their festal day,
for if one celebration is due to the fact that in
the early days their section was nearly all there
was of our country north of the Potomac,
another one should be promoted by gratitude
that. in spite of the westward march of empire
and Yankees, their beloved land still remains
near enough to New York to amount to some
thing.
The growth of Minneapolis is attracting much
