Colorado has 500 miles of first class
irrigating canals, aud $500 miles of
secondary canals, and 1000 miles of
bitches, which have cost in the aggrs-
gate about $1,000, 900, and will irri-
gate 100000 acres. The largest is

A Sure Index.

A newspaper is Il sure index to the
town in which it is published. We
mentally measure up village or city
by reading its newspapers. 1t is the
travelling representative and advance
agent of the town. 1t is carried all
over the United States for tritle, and
reveals the brightness or stupidity of
its town in great degree. While this
is not an infallible rule, it is safe to
say that people will have about as good
a paper as they are willing to pay for.
In some instances they get a better one.

Before and After Election.

Then came the battle Of the Fall,
And speculation rife,
And candidates were anxious all
To join the coming strife.
But that they were full of wiles
The keen observer noted;
And on they put their sweetest smiles,
To greet the msn wh0 voted;
But since election, quite change
Has come DER them, you bet;
They look upon the man as strange,
That erst with smiles they met.
And when the labsr'ng man they meet,
And there's no chance 10 hide.
With rapid step they cross the street
Aid take the other side.

American Papers Given to Lying.

To any one who reads the American papers
regularly it is no surprise to come across the
most preposterous statements about English
matters gravely cabled as facts. For in
stance, during the hot weather last summer
people were reported dying in numbers in the
streets of London; when the prince of Wales
was in Ireland, the Gatling guns were de
scribed in the streets of Kerry as shooting
down rioters by the hundreds; on the occa-
sion of an unseemly fracas in the park, re-
Gently, full accounts of the most glowing
language between the persons engaged were
sent: and hardly day ago we reprinted an
absurd message about the government here
having determined on thorough going pro-
lection policy.
The fact is that the correspondents of these
agencies, not being in position to get early
information-which is more difficult in Lon
don than in almost any other great capital
simply invent it, and as consequence, re-
sponsible correspondents, who really do know
Of news as soon as it is in existence, are con-
sidered sadly slow in competing with the un-
scrupulous news-makers of the agencies.-St

Tuuelo Gum and wi,,ow Oak.

Considerable attention has been lately di-
rected to the commercial and industrial value,
at least prospectively, of the tupelo gum and
willow oak timbers Of Mississippi. After va
rious and thorough tests the first named has
been pronounced almost as soft and light as
cork, and the whitest timber in the valley. Il
is extremely light, can not be split, while at
the same time it is very tough, tenacious and
will bear heavy strain its various qualities
rendering il specially valuable for buckets,
pitchers, trays, ox-yokes, and almost all kinds
Of water vessels, as well as for many other
purposes The water or willow oak is said to
be second only to the live oak, is almost a.
hard when seasoned as is the latter, and for
the rim and spokes Of wheels is alleged 10
have no superior, while for ship-building
it is almost eqnal to live oak in its flrmnex
and durability. Tests have been made Of thf
crushing capacity Of this wood, and also ol
its transverse strength, with remarkably IN
vorable results, the published data showing
that it is one-third stronger than any white,
red or black oak, and only one-eighteenth less
than live oak.-Chicago Times.

How q Panorama Il Painted.

now PANORAMA 10 Fninte0.
Albert Richter, Of Dresden; Heine,
the draughtsman for Die Gartsnlaube,
who was present at the crowning of
EmpsroreWi William al Versailles; August
Lo6r, of Manieh; Breitweiser, Of Vienna;
Schroeder, of Dusseldorf, and Schneider,
Of Hanover, are at work on panorama
of the battle Of Mission Ridge. After
examing the ground they procured pict-
ures Of men and soenes, accounts from
survivors and othsr material, and then
secluded themselves in the circular
building arranged for their canvas.
A reporter found inside q big
cylindrical canvas stretching from the
roof nearly to the ground, "a circular
railroad track on which stood some half
dozen platform cars, each sustaining q
dozen little studios, one on top of the
other, clear up to the. dome. Half Q
dozen artists, one above the other, and
each in his own studio, can work upon Q
vertical section of the canvas at once.
When they have finished with that Sec
ton their tall car is easily pushed along
until they are in front of another Sec
tion, which is ready to be transformed
from canvas into landscape. Cannon,
live horses, stacks of arms, and dozen
or more models are grouped around, for
the panorama studio Is literally life
school and not copied from photographs

THE old, old story. Geronimo and
his fellow fiends are, General Sheri-
dan thinks, merely waiting to gather
up their property from their caches
before surrendering. The Apaehes,
when they agreed to come in and be
fed on the reserve at San Carlos after
General Crooks expedition in 1888
into Mexico, tarried to collect their(!)
stock. They collected 1t. They came
back when they got ready and brought
back lot Of live stock which they
stole meantime. 1t Is to be hoped
that these devils who have no prop
erty, else they never could have
skipped about so effectively, may not
be allowed to run In q lot Of white
peoples stock as:they did when they
came In to recruit and fatten before.
II white men stole, murdered and
ravished as do these demons they
would not be waited on until His
Mightiness, Don Geronimo. or DiabOlo
Magno'' might be pleased to steal
enough horses TO ride on bis next out
break. We have had enough Of thia
business. To fight and kill is duty

The Queens Picturesque Beefeaters."
After the Life guards came the carriages Of
the accompanying state officials, each drawn
by four horses, and after them on foot the
Beefeaters These Beaufetiers or Buffetiors,
who with their round paunches and quaint
apparel are objects of much wonder and
amusement to the stranger, are among the
last remaining links which bind the feudal
ages to the present time. They have at
tended on the persons of the kings and queens
Of England ever since the reign of Henry
VII Among their duties they may be called
on to carry dishes to the queens table, and
as late as the reign of George III, at the
distribution of the royal aims on Maundy
Thursday, one Of them is described as bear
ing upon his head gold dish containing $50
bags, having seventy-five pennies in each
bag, to be given away by the sub-almoner
to the kings poor. They may be employed to
take care Of the royal baggage when the
court moves from place TO place, and some
Of them are habitually occupied in showing
visitors over the tower of London and in
keeping an eye on the regalia.
II We accept the Darwinian theory that
only the fittest survice, the queens Beefeaters
must be fit indeed, for they have outlived
nearly four centuries, the several dynasties
which have occupied the throne since the
Tudor times, and even the sound and mean
ing of their original name. Next TO the
kings-at-arms, they are the most picturesquely
dressed of all the officials Of magnificent
royal state so long established that its begin
nings are lost in the mists of antiquity

Why They Emigrate to America.

The total wealth Of Great Britain is esti-
mated at $4,000, 600 600 or about q, ,245 for
every individual, man, woman and child, In
the kingdom. This is said to be $500 more
than such a division in the United States
would produce, though nobody can make
more than guess al the figures for this coun-
try. Wealth in the United States is much
better distributed than in Great Britain. In
the latter country one out Of every thirty-Ax
reuidents b registered as pauper. With one
tenth Of the population Of Great Britain ep.
gagged In agriculture, one-ffth of the area Of
England Is held by 523 proprietors, one-fourth
OF Scotland by 12, and one-third Of Ireland

Friday, March Ie, 1886.

CITIZENS of territories are dlsfran-
chised subjects of the national govern
ment. Their status is that of wards,
with guardian and nurse. The gov
ernor and the legislature are the guar
dian and nurse, respectively, and the
government is the orphans court
which supervises the tender wards
interests.
We have no independence. We go
through the form of selecting legisla-
lures, but the comptroller of the
United States treasury may stop their
pay. If a territory shall incur the dis
pleasure Of the national government
at Washington everything may come
to stand still. A murderer may be
tried and convicted in our territorial
courts, involving great expense to the
taxpayers, being tried under territorial
laws, and the officers Of justice and all
good citizens are gratified that the
law has been vindicated and the terror
of the law has been held up to wrong
doers, the attorney general at WASH
ington advises the President that he
has the right to commute the sentence
or pardon him, and ii Is done. Thus
our laws and our courts are held in
contempt. If we were states we
should not thus be at the mercy of
the President and Congress. Possibly
some may say that the President has
no authority to interfere in the execu-
tion Of our territorial laws. We do
not believe there is any law authoriz-
ing the President opardon a murderer
thus convicted, but the president is
against us. Attorney General Brew
ster ruled that the President could and
should rob the gallows, in the csse of a
cold-blooied murderer, one Kelly, in
New Mexico, who was respited by the
President thrice, and then the death
sentence was commuted. There are
certain kinds of legitimate business
which cannot be legally operated in
territories because our organic laws do
not permit. Our Legislators, If per-
mitted to sit. may once In two years,
deliberate for forty days on laws
which may or not be executed, as
wills the national government. We
may not elect our judges, and those
who are sent to US are taken from the
bench while cause Is on trial, and
the fathers in Washington quarrel
about giving us another. People
whom we never saw fling US a law or
two now and then from the hall of
congress and our representative may
not favor or gainsay for he has the
fright of debating but not of voting"
1t is not a question whether Dakota
is Republican or Montana Democratic.
We simply beg to be restored to
those rights and privileges which
we enjoyed as Americans in the east,
and we claim that we are not so un-
worthy, nor are we mormons, that
we should be longer forced to live dis
franchised and voiceless in the man
agement of our best interests. Abolish
the satrapy and give us a republican
form of government.

A LAZY, eFFeMINATe PEOPLE.
Field sports In the House-our Ideal of
Supreme Comfort-Cre

Field Sports In the House-Our Ideal Of
Supreme Characterization.
Little by little the American people are
learning TO take all their field sports IN the
house when the first white frost comes. Gro
quet was brought into the parlor ten years
ago; then some lazy villain invented the par
lor rife, and all the targets and rifle ranges
were brought into the house. Then the ring
ing steel blades were taken off the skates and
wooden castors substituted, and the lake was
moved into the house and boarded over with
yellow pine. Foot ball, polo walking
matches, target practice, base ball, cricket,
all the field sports, have been taken into the
parlor or rink.
The horse races will he moved in next. In
little while America will have no earthly
use for "out doors, not even as place to be
buried in, because, after we have fenced in,
foored and rooted over this entire continent,
shut out the sky and the air and the sunlight,
and have lighted the gas and stirred
up the dust and breathed the at
mosphere over and over until il can
he breathed no longer, it will be most fitting
and proper that We should crawl into a cast
iron retort and be showed into crematory
heated lone seven times more than was wont
to be heated, >" and, in dust and noxious vapors
and gases, close a life of gradual incineration.
There should be law making it peniten-
tiary offense for a man TO take part in any
game inside roller rink that can be played
in the field, in the pure air and the bright
sunlight.
Physically we are growing to be lazy,
effeminate people, and unless we are driven
out of the rink, We will never feel the turf
spring or the snow crunch under our feet.
The one great reason why cremation finds so
much favor with Americans is because our
ideal of supreme comfort is to be shut up in
a tight box, close to scorching fire, with
nothing to breathe save an atmosphere that
would kill 200 acres of grass and whole for
est of trees and flowers. .-Burdette in Brook
