A Danger Signal.

There is one fact contained in R.
G.. Dunn & Co.'S commercial agency
report which is startling when the
matter is carefully considered and
fully understood. 1t Is a danger sig
nal that flashes out a warning to the
industry of this country, which it can
not disregard and escape final ruin.
The statement is very mild, and in
the casual business style of the day,
yet It's meaning, although so careless
~ clothed, is enough to make the
boldest halt and hesitate at the bare
anticipation of what is to be the re-
suit Of our present financial policy.
The simple statement so pregnant
with meaning is, that During the
past three weeks there has been a
decline Of II per cent. in general val
ues."' Stop and. consider what this
simple statement means to the indus
try of the nation-tO the people who
must earn their bread by their sweat,
and what it means to millionaire
manipulators of money. It means
that in three weeks the entire wealth
of the nation has shrunk about seven
billion dollars, and that the value of
money has increased an equal
amount; that the masses Of the peo-
pie are over seven billion dollars
poorer to-day than they were three
weeks ago, and that the men who con
troll the money of the nation are that
much richer. ALI the industry of the
United States combined and working
day and night without food could not
create such an amount Of value il
such length of time. And yet
merely by the operation of a shrewd
" devised system, working in the in
terests of the speculative element
their fortunes a. thus multiplied
without any exertion whatever or
their part, or the creation of one cent
Of actual value. How long will this
apathy continue to afiict the people

ian water. The general supply Of |
water is secured by wells from 40 to
200 feet deep, though some wells
are much deeper.
Another important question, bear
ing upon the water supply Of the
whole western border Of the State,
is its relation to the neighboring
State Of Colorado, from which the
various streams flow. Any extern
sive use of water for irrigation
IN the eastern part Of Colorado must
reduce the supply for irrigating
bitches already made in Kansas
at a cost Of millions of dollars.
This brings into consideration inter
State interests OF Lo Llcuu dllucL-
sions.
In conclusion the committee wish
to emphasize the Importance of i'm
mediate attention to a region so
we'll adopted to agricultural pur-
poses in every respect, already
occupied by a people anxious to
avail themselves of any information
that may be gained, and with very
considerable investments of capital,
likely to be irretrievably lost in any
failure to gain relief from summer
drowth. Further, it is believed that
| if government can point out the way
by immediate Investigations, abund-
| ance of private capital will be avail
able for the development of such a
promiLing industry as would be in
sured by comparatively slight add
ton to the water supply of the semi
arid region.
The members of the Senate Com
mittee. are themselves acquainted
with the astonishing facts in connec-
ton with the settlement of this
region, and will not fail to act with
the utmost promptness allowed il
so important matter. We have
felt it our duty to express emphatic
ally the urgent appeal, of the sturdy
settlers in this region for immediate
assistance. The whole region il
looking to your committee for help
and asksit at once.
This committee refraIns from 1
fuller statement of facts in this mat
ter, feeling that Senator Plumb, o
this State, will present in your com

should further facts from our ex
perience or investigation be desired

Committee

People who are forever disparag-
ing the town in which they live and
were born, not only cast discredit on
their progenitors and their friends,
but they show their lack Of personal
energy, the daring to do something
by going abroad to improve their
own conditions.
To speak grudgingly or contempt
uousIy Of a place in which one lives
IS the meanest OF criticisms. No
matter what the conditions Of the
town are, the people who live there
should not characterize them in such
way as to bring ,reproach on them.
If things in the town are not what
they should be, let the people try to
improve them, but don't hold things
up to the scorn, rldicule and contempt
of outsiders by exaggersting them to
all hearers.
There is no place like home, be it
ever SO homely. GcGreggor, the
Scottish chief and warrior, express
sed his regard for home when he ex-
ultingly and defantly declared, MY
foot is on my native heath and my
name IS McGreggor- People who
stand up for their cities and towns
who strive to advance their inter
ests and advocate their advantages,
are they who carry them forward
/ In welfare and increase their import
ance.
To disparage ones place Of resi-
denoe or birth, is a sign Of lack of
proper manliness. that amounts to
a demerit in any individual.-LeaU-

The first great link in the chain

could be built for less money per
mile than the Canadian Pacific cost.
The first section of 1t would run
