suit? Has America got to come down to be less of beef eating country? Beef must certainly become scarce. There will not be this surplus of beef in the country, as there has been during the ranges are all giving out, immigration n- creasing and the range decreasing. No person in the industry need be discourag- ed, however. The demand for beef is increasing, and with the enhanced value of beet greater care will be taken of the cattle and higher grade raised. Such enterprises as ours will be engaged in and they will be renumeratlve.
 What do you think ofSenator Stewards bill on water storage?"
 Senator Stewart has taken quite an interest in this enterprise and it has been often talked about and watched by him with great deal of interest. His bill is for the purpose of making government surveys and explorations in the moun- tain districts, biographical and hydro graphical, to find out where such natural advantages lie. The old system of gov ernment surveys is practically useless Tn our mountain lands. The rectangular system adopted by the government is all right for the plain lands, but is not at all | adopted to the mountain lands. If understood Senator Stewards bill, it is to make these surveys like the system adopted by the Mexicans, or the old Mex ican league system of me,es and bounds showing the topographic and hydrograp- ic characteristics of the country. It is | proposed to make the water-storage question, for the purpose of re- claiming arid lands, great feature. Few per- sons are aware how many such advanta- geous localities can be found. In the little district where our enterprise is To- cated Can point out three or four ad- mirable locations for water-storage Large as ours may be, it is very small compared with may others that can be found"

MORE MONEY.

Senater Stewart, of Nevada, is very much alarmed lest universal ruin come upon the people it something be not done to relieve the hard times. He thinks the demonstration of silver brought about the distress under which the country is now struggling. Says he "Unlversal bankruptcy and ruin-the symptoms of it are everywhere, unrest among the people, paralysis in every en- terprise, cheaper labor, and starvation and misery are inevitable unless change of policy is immediately adopted"
 "What is the remedy?"
 "Use both money me,als-gold and silver, stop the contraction, give us more money per capita. Double it and do it at once, and you will have no more strikes, no more attempts to reduce wages to starvation rates; all existing enter prises will be revived; new enterprises of every description will be brought into existence; wages will be enhanced in value and restored to the standard ol twelve years ago before the demonetiza- ton of silver. Return to the good old times of high wages. When labor is Well paid, and the iaboring man is con- tent, prosperity is assured; plenty of money plenty of work, little money little work. That's the whole story."-Asso- ciated Press report.

Arizona will cooperate, actively and cheerfully, ,,in such movement as is Out. lined in the following paragraph from the Denver News:
 There is general interest in the neighboring territories on the subject of congressional aid for irrigation. Pro- lessor Meade told the meeting of Mon day night that he had received a number of inquiries from those localities as to what Colorado had done, or what she proposed to do They, too, have been discussing the question and are ready to act. Hence only short notice would be required to get representation from such territories to an inter siate assembly Such a body if properly called by the state convention could meet in Denver by the last of March, when it is expected to hold an important meeting to pro- mote immigration. Al that time the range cat,emen will be here in force and Denver will be filled with sold men from the country directly interested in the res. ervolr question. The celebration of the opening of the Denver, Fort Worth and Haii road, which promises to excel any similar event n our history, will attract many people from interested localities. The time would seem propitious for A gathering of great iufluel.e .e to promote the subject Of comprehensive irrigation. !"

The House committee on judiciary, re. porting the joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment prohibiting polygamv, says: In one or more of the territories, the withdrawal ofthe province of the general government to punish polygamy, which would necessarily fol- low the admission of such territories into the union of states, would be the sigaal for return to the re-practice of poly gamy. The committee suggests that the only alternative to an indefinite continual ton of territorial government is the pro- posed amendment.

THE GREAT DAM.

"The dam that we have built lies upon Willow creek, in Elko county, about 30 miles from the railway At the point where the dam is built the bluff, join each other within I75 feet and are 75 and 100 feet high, the channel of the creek passing between. The first thing was to secure permanent foundation, the dam we put in some years before having been washed out by undermin- ing. We secured permanent foundation by sinking some twenty feet below the bed of the channel and from that we commenced building up with timber and rock. The emb nkment itself is built of rock, about 2So feet wide at the base, 7s feet high to the p.rapet and 25 wide on top. The upper or water side is sheath ed with 3-inch plank, tightly caulked with oakum and painted. About 1000 feet of lumber was used in that portion of the dam.

SOMETHING ON HIS MIND.
Absence of Mind and a GarrulOus
"Ticket Chopper"

1t was a downtown elevated railway
station. A young man with an air of
abstraction of his face and cigar in
his mouth deposited five cents On the
glass slab at the ticket sellers win
dow, and without stopping to get
his ticket walked on calmly, passed the
ticket chopper" and stood on the
platform waiting for train.
"Please, sor," said the ticket chopper.
who was a genuine son of Erin, civilly,
"you didn't put in no ticket"
"Eh, what's that?" said the young
man, nervously thrusting a hand into
his waistcoat pocket. THAT can't be.
I always put nickel in my vest pocket
to pay for ticket, and the nickel's
gone.:'
"Shure, it's myself that kin swear to
that, sor, for I saw yer take it out at
the ticket winder, but yer didn't take
no ticket"
"Oh, that's too absurd; If paid for
ticket l got it, and if l got it
dropped it in the box. Pm no sWind-
ler."
"Well, sor, if the ticket-seller don't
tell yer the same phat [ do, the diyils
witch, that's all"
The absent-minded young man
consulted the ticket agent, aud of
course every thing was explained salts
| factorily.

BLAINE Is DUMB.
He Refuses tn Answer the Conkling
Letter-What he Says.

AUGUSTA, Me-, September 25.-The
Kenmebec Journal, under the heading OF
Mr.. Conkling and Mr.. Blaine," viii
tomorrow publish such response as
Blaine desires to make to the recently
published letter of Conkling to his
friend in New York State.
Blaine was asked by Kennebec Jour-
nat reporter if he had any reply 10
make, and this was the response:
Nothing could induce me to enter
into controversy over Conkling's
grave. During our joint service in
Congress, some sixteen years in all We
had some exasperating controversies,
but l never spoke or wrote word con-
corning him except publicly, and now
that he is dead my lips are sealed
against every form of criticism or I'M
kind expression, no matter what may
be the injustice of any one of his sur
viving friends"
Blaine said it was great surprise to
him that such letter should have been
written by Conkllng. The date shows
shat the letter WAS written just six days
after the close of an exasperating per-
sonal debate with Conkiing, and if
SOAhAlu6 udu W say
of the kind he would have been apt to
say it then and not Immediately after
ward in private letter, which was not
given to the public for twenty-five
years. The whole affair was not in &C
cordance with Conkling's habitual
course in debate.
Blaine was asked if he had anything
to say about the charge that he
had made money out of recruit
ing funds in the war, and he
replied that it might with equal truth
be charged that he had made money by
robbing the mails or by piracy on the
high seas. The recruiting scandal of
Maine in the last year of the war had
been investigated by two committees
and one public commission, whose eff
forts Blame said he aided, and there
was, he says, not word of evidence,
or even suggestion or hint in any one
of the three reports. that he had any
more connection with the matter than
had Conkling or his unwise friend who
published this letter and attributes it to
the dead statesman.

Flesced by Bunoo steerers

600 this afternoon by two bunco men
The old gentleman was enticed into
house on Pearl Street and induced to
play a game. in which it was alleged he
had won $4,000. After this, however,
it would be necessary to produce a
like amount. The victim fell into the
trap and went to the Third National
bank, where he drew the amount and
placed it on the table. He then took
another chance and was informed he
had lost 500 coo. One of the swindlers
knocked pistol out Of his hand and
the two ran out, locking the door after
them. BY the time Leman forced the
door open, both had disappeared.
