Irrigation

The Nevada papers are agitatins
the question Of building reservoirs
and canals by State aid, in order to
increase the area to be cultivated
That is a subject in which Utah
should be as much interested as
Nevada, and its opportunities are
much greater. There is water
enough running to waste in Utah
annually to double the present crops
if it could but be turned upon the
land that waits to receive it. There
must be something like $4,000 peo-
pie engaged in agriculture in this
Territory. The number might be
easily doubled If the people would
but We the means at hand. In

Artesfan Wells a Sue ess.

j, s. Wilson Of Loyalton, one OF
| the pioneer well-borers of Sierra
Valley called at the Gazette Office
| this morning. He is very enthus-
iastic over the revolution that is
being brought about in the north
ern country by the artesian well
system. To Mr.. Wilson and
Walter EIDE is due the credit Of
getting the first machine and max
ing the experiment of obtaining
water success. A year ago last
May the first we'll was bored, and
since, the Wilson Company has
bored eighty wells ranging from
go feet to $50 feet deep; each well
giving a supply of water from five
to $50 gallons per minute, ranging
from the ordinary temperature up
to 1909. Besides tae Wilson Com
pany machine, there were four
others N the valley, two Of which
have gone to operate in other local
ties. The reporter learned through
MIR. Wilson that Waiter Eide would
soon come to the vicinity Of Reno
with machine which he now owns
to make some experiments in get
ting water thrsugh artesian wells.

A Coed Deed, We'll Performed

Last evening, poor family who
were unable to invest in Christmas,
heard noise outside, as If burg
lar was about. Going to the door
they found tall Christmas tree
standing in front, loaded down
with about everything that fam
lily could well wish for, including
provisions and good things for the
grown folks, and fancy toys for the
children.
A number Of philan.hlopic anl
good hearted ladies of the city had
dubbed together and fitted cut the
tree and had it plaLted where
would do the most good. The re-
cipients of the gifts kavn't the
slightest idea where it came from
wherein lies the beauty of such
things.

CONVICT LABOR.
SOms Suggestions Regarding
What to Do with 1t.

What to DO with 1t.
Mr.. Wells Drury, Assemblyman-
elect Of this county, writes a long
letter to the Enterprise. relative to
the very important question Of con-
yict labor. At present this labor is
utilized in the State Prison in the
manufacture of boots and shoes.
The State has never done well
with its boot and shoe factory.
Thousands of dollars worth Of boots
and shoes have been allowed to go
out to dealers, and in many eases
they never paid a dollar to the
State, and Fever intend to.
Again the convict labor comes
into competition with free white
labor, and it is unfair to the honest.
law-abiding shoemaker on the out-
side to be obliged to compete with
the convict in the Penitentiary.
The plan suggested by Mr.. Drury
of abclishiog the boot and shoe
shop and putting the convicts at
work in the quarry is good one.
The stone could be sold at cost,
for building purposes and street
paving, and many more Of the tax
payers reap a real benefit from it.

Their Rescue from the Humboldt

ventures in the Humboldt desert
have been previously related to our
readers. All hands were in a most
dilapidated plight and their appear
ance excited the profoundest pity.
1t appears that a freight train which
was passing West first noticed the
outcasts. The passengers begged
the conductor to stop and take
them aboard. Several passengers
got off and proceeded to the camp
which consisted of some old dilap-
dated wickiup deserted by the Pi-
ute Indians.
The party was nearly dead from
starvation, and were preparing to
kill Daggetti and eat him. Pown-
ing was sharpening a knife and
Lindsay was approaching him with
a club. The rescuers reached the
place just 10 time TO save Daggetti
from being slaughtered and eat up.
Every attention was showed the
rescued survivors of the lll-fated
expedition by the crew of the train.

One Of the Principal Terrors of Ignorant
Colored People.
A reporter, learning that there was a
believer of night doctors in one of the
departments, hunted him up the other
day. He found him about to unload a
truck of fire-wood in one of the cor
ridors of the department. He had just
taken the first stick in his hand to de-
post in the wood-box when the reporter
bluntly asked: ''Do you know any
thing about night doctorsa''
The colored man dropped the stick
like flash, and seemed very much
frightened as he suspiciously glanced at
his guestioner. .'Wha' fur you ask me
SIGH queshuns?" he exclaimed. The re-
porter replied that he was a sort of
detective, anxious to get some informa-
ton about the rascals who prey upon
unoffending colored people. ''Ef you is
B. 'tector whar's your sign?" he sus-
piciously asked.
The assurance that the questioner was
a private detective and did not need a
badge did not prove entirely satlsfac
tory, but it was broad daylight, and the
:olored man regained his equanimity
somewhat, but kept on his guard. Lean
ing on his pile of wood, he said in a
low voice: Now, / don't know eff you

her husbands increasing prosperity pre-

household duties which she did not pre-
fer to do. Still, she knows how every
thing should be done. On the other
hand, her daughters, now reaching
young ladyhood are unwilling to work as
she once did They have certain accom-
plishments, but in the essential things,
necessary for wives and mothers to be

poorly fitted to take upon themselves
the serious duties of wives and mothers.

Domestic Ties Which Lead Iawbreakers

every once in a while people read in
the papers how some man who has just
done job has skipped, leaving no trace
behind him." said central Office de-
tective to reporter. "The first thing
they do is to blame the detectives. Them
a year or two perhaps afterward, they
hear that the man has been caught.
Then they praise the detectives for skill
and perseverance as much as they
blamed them before. They were wrong
to blame them in the first place, and
I'm not sure that they were right in
praising them so highly afterward. In
ordinary circumstances any criminal is
sure to be caught.
''You say there are many crimes
never unraveled. That's SO. But in
most of them the police get to know
who did the job, but they can't get the
evidence, and so they lie low and wait
In few exceptional cases it's best not
to punish anybody.
eff a man runs away the police can
pinch him nine times out of ten Just by
watching his home. Shakespeare never
said truer thing than when he said:
There's no place like home 1t was
Shakespeare, wasn't itP We'll, every
man, no matter how bad he is, has a
home of some kind that he's. going to
visit, although he knows that the visit
may land him in the State prison for
twenty years, and as soon as he thinks
the coast is clear he's going to that
home. All the police have to do is to
find out that home, watch it and nab
their man when he shows up.
''There's that man who shot the negro
janitor. He got West and was doing
well, and nobody knew where he was.
But he had to come back to New York
to see his friends. There's Jimmy
icy. He broke seven of the strongest
jails in the country-Sing Sing was the
last of them. What did he do when he
got out of Sing Singp He went straight
to Tenth avenue, where everybody knew
him. Now he's back at Sing Sing.
Talk to Captain Washburn about Hel1s
Kitchen and places at the foot Of
West Thirty-ninth and Fortieth
streets in his precinct. He'll
tell you that whenever he wants one Of
the crooks who hang out there he has
only to go there to get him. They never
try to hide in any part of the city. Do
you remember that burglar who killed
a policeman way back in the sixties,
when he was caught breaking into an
arms store on Broadwayp Well, he
thought 1t safe to come back to New
York after nearly twenty years, and the
first thing he knew he was on trial for
his life. He would have come back
sooner, too, if he hadn't been prevented
by being locked up in different prisons
out West.
'sAnother thing that helps the detec-
tives in catching big crooks is their in
ter-marriages. It's a saying that every
Hebrew in Baxter street belongs to one
of three families. It's about the same
with crooks. About every big one
among them is connected by marriage
or blood ties with the. others. IN Y
