The Benton weekly record., 1883-08-25


A RECORD reporter happened to run
across Professor A. D. White, now in
charge of Northern Pacific economic
survey, on the streets this afternoon. The
Professor stated that he was accompanied
by Professor John Pumpelly, Professor
Zeigler, geologist, Mr.. Seribner, bota-
mist, and Messrs. Pierce and Hill, topo-
graphers. The survey is sent out by the
Northern Pacific to investigate the re-
sources of the Territory, and on Professor
Whites report will depend how soon the
company will run line of road into this
section. Mr.. White and party leave here
Monday to examine the country along the
Sun and Teton rivers and will close their
labors for this year in Helena about Oc-
tober 1st. To the reporter the Professor
stated that he could give nothing but
highly favorable report of Montana, that
the resources Of the Territory were very
great and that, considering what mineral,
coal, and fine agricultural land had come
under his notice, he could scarcely believe
the railroad company would take chances
on any road getting in here ahead of them
by delaying the construction Of line to
this point. The RECORD has previously
stated that it was only matter Of year or
more when the Northern Pacific would
commence the construction of road to
Benton, and the sending out Of surveying
parties with such objects in view as the
White party has, certainly tends to con-
firm this paper in the position II has taken.
The subject Of Touring mill at this
point is again agitated by interested per-
sons IN the city and surrounding country.

ARTESIAN WELLS
Liberal Appropriations Should be
Made to Test Them In Nevada.

Liberal Appropriations ShOuld be
Made to Test Them In Nevada.
The Silver. State says, in commenting on
the bill introduced by Senator Fair, and q
parallel to which has been introduced by
Congressman Cassidy, to provide for tho
sinking Of a~rtesian wells in Nevada: 1t
has been demonstrated to q certainty that
the soil of the desert wastes of Nevada is as
rich and productive as that OF the prairies
of Illinois and Iowa, and that all the cere-
ais, fruits and vegetables of the temperate
zone will grow here wherever water can be
had TO irrigste the lands. It has also been
demonstrated, at Battle Mountain and
vicinity, that artesian water can be pro-
cured in Nevada, but whether in quantities
sufficient to irrigate land on an extensive
scale has not yet been determined. as the
Battle Mountain wells are less Than two
hundred feet deep. As the Government
owns millions upon millions of acres in
Nevada, now practically valueless,
but which would sell rapidly at q
fair price, il water could be had for
irrigating them, Congress should
make a liberal appropriation for
sinking artesian wells on these lands, and
practically determine whether water can be
procured from subterranean sources for
irrigating them. The public Treasury is
overloaded with money, 80 that the officials
scarcely know to what use to apply it, and
a half million or so can be expended in
Nevada for sinking artesian " slls without
being missed from the Treasury. Other
States, whose industries are protected by Q
high tariff, get liberal appropriations at
every session of Congress for improving
navigation, etc., and though Nevada has
added hundreds of millions to the wealth
Of the country. made the resumption of
specie payment possible, and precludes the
possibility Of a run on the Treasury, by
filling it with standard dollars, it has
never been favored with q dollar for inter-
nal improvements by the Government, ex-
cept that made for Gov. Nye's dam by a
mill-site on the Truckee river and the Mint
at Carson.

We see by our dispatches that Senstor
Fair has just given S., 900 to the Boys and
Girls Aid Society in San Francisco. This
recalls to mind the fact that Mr.. Fair has
been more liberal to charitable institu-
tions Of Nevada than any other OF the
millionaires who have made their money
in this State. He has made frequent do
nations to the Orphans Home at Carson,
and about four years ago made a donation
Of 5000 to the "Children's Fund" OF that
institution. About the holidays he has
been so much in the habit OF sending
presents to the inmates of the State Prison
fbst the convicts there look iog something
from him every Christmas.

MIR. CASSIDY. CHAIRMAN.
He In HOnOred, and Through Hin
Nevada is ExceptfOnalIy H0mOred

He In HonOred, and Through Him
Nevada is Exceptionally MonOred.
1t seems that the speculations INDUCED
in with regard to the formation Of the
committees in the lower house Of Con-
gress, were considerably at fault--certainly
30 with regard to the place our Nevada
Congressman would occupy. By our dis
patches last night we see that Mr.. Cassidy
has been made Chairman of the Committee
on Pacific Railroads, and also a member of
the Committee on Mines and Mining. In
this latter capacity he will be at home, Is
during his long experience as q journalist
and legislator the interests Of our mineral
country have been at all times his chief
study. We believe, also, though he is per-
haps Jess familiar with the intricacies Of
the railroad business and the laws affect
ing that institution than with mines and
mining, that he will be found in time
familiar enough with the situation to
render valuable service in the chairman
ship he has been honored with, and by
which. through him, Nevada is also excep-
tionally honored. 1t is a position Of
grave responsibility, however, which q
man in active political life is not al
together to be congratulated ON attaining.
Owing to the constant strife between the
people, represented in the Legislatures Of
the States and Of the nation as we'll, and
the great railroad corporations, q man
who stands between the two forces Is
probably more liable to adverse criticism
than the Chairman Of any other committee
in either House Of Congress. 1t is the
plain but difficult duty Of the Legislator
to put aside all feeling in snch g situation
and tc deal equitably between the parties
concerned, without either yielding to
the Establishments Of monopoly or allow
ing himself swayed by the sometimes over
exacting masses whom nothing short Of
''cinching" the railroads will satisfy. The
friends of Mr.. Cassidy are not anxions.
They believe that he VII; prove himself
eqnel to every emergency, and that he will
do as valuable service at Washington for
the country at large as he did for Nevada,
and especially for Eureka county, in the
State Legislature.

A Surplus Of Children.

A citizen of Nevada City found q day
old baby in q basket on his door step the
other morning, and the little stranger was
taken in and properly cared for. The
Herald says: Eve are credibly informed
that the child in question is the son Of
poor but respectable parents in this city,
who are already burdened with q multi
plicity Of offspring, and that they gave the
late arrival to his foster parents, knowing
the little one would receive from them the
best possible care and rearing. The babe
is said to be a fine child. The names of
it's father and mother are being kept
quiet, only a few persons knowing who
they are."

The wealthy relatives of Jacobus, the
dsfaulting Secretary Of the Eureka Con-,
have come to his rescue. and the proba-
bilities are that a felony will be compound
cd and a thief escape the meshes Of the
law. But for the interference of his
rich kinsfolk, he would doubtless go to
the State Prison. This, says the Tusca-
rora Times, ought to be a warning for
young men not to steal anything unless
they have afiluent relatives to square the
matter with the law.

A Probable story.

The Austin Reyeille Gays q pirate letter
received at that Office Wednesday morning
says that J. T. Goodman, formerly OF the
Enterprise, and Arthur McEwen, who used
to make the Virginia Chronicle sparkle,
have combined forces and will shortly
commence a daily paper in San Francisco.
The Tribune ia inclined to give this report
credence, for il is one Of McEwen's dreams
to own q paper in San Francisco. He
would mould IL something upon the liter
airy order. and IL would be anti-monopoly.-
Carson Tribune.
Those two will make q splendid team.
We believe their equals in journalism can
not be found on the Pacific Coast, and
their superiors hardly anywhere in the

Worthy of Note.

Hollow steel shafting, which has come
very generally into use in Europe, even
Tor such heavy work as steamship pro-
peller shafts, is found to very much lessen
the weight in proportion to the decreased
strength. 1t appears, for example, that a
ten-inch shaft with a hole four inches in
diameter has its weight reduced sixteen
per cent. with a loss Of only 2 Sc per cent
Of strength,

WRITTEN FOR THE SENTINEL
Tn song-bird trilled a heavenlier strain
Agar ago;
Softer the sunshine and the rain
year ago;
The wild flowers struggling DER the les,
The streamlet singing to the sea-
More sweet their bloom, their melody
Agar ago.
The face of nature fine and fair
year ago,
How full its varying beauties were
A year agoi
The azure sky. the Handicapped hill,
The broad, green plain and valley still
Mine eyes could charm, my fond heart fill
A year ago.
But o, the light Of earth and sky
A year ago
When every hour went laughing by
A year sgo-
Is changed to night 80 cold and gray
Not even one Grant beam may stray
Back to us from that perfect day
A year ago.
And yet ali mel the flowers bloom
As in that other, happier noon;
The birds sing on, the streamlets flow,
No change the smiling valleys know;
h hills look down to-day ss then
Upon the green and dsisied plain.
And still the dews of Summer fall,
And blue. bright skies bend over all.
In all this world-'tis passing strange
The heart Of mar hath deathlieEt change.
His Joy buds once. no second Spring
To him brings later blossoming;
To him, while seasons come and go,
No day brings back the "year ago."
