SOME years since the largest irri-
CATION project in the west was put
on foot in Southern Idaho. The idea
was to take water from the Snake
river and its tributaries and distrib-
ute it as wanted on the plains of Al
turas and Owyhee counties and else
whore as the wants necessities re-
quired. The Snake River Canal
Company was organized and incor-
porated for the purpose of carrying
on the undertaking, and has accom-
plished much, though there are
thousands of acres OF land IN that
section that are comparatively value
less for want OF water. The Terri
tory lying on the north bank OF
Snake river in Bingham and Alturas
counties, and known as the Snake
river desert, is fine field for this
company's operations. 1t possesses
An area larger than one or two states
OF the Union, and only needs irri-
eating to convert it into a grain field
In Owyhee county, and on the south
bank of the Snake, some good work
has boon done by this company, and
the Silver City Avalanche says con-
struction work will soon be com.
menced on dam across the Bruneau
river near where the first dam was
built. This dam will be built to stay
and with that idea in view great care
will be exercised in laying the foun-
dalton. While this is being done
work will also be in process on the
canal and will not be stopped until il
is completed. As has been said, thi.
canal will cover thousands of acres OF
as good agricultural land as the sun
shines upon, and will make homes for
hundreds of industrious settlers and
their families. Is is safe to say that
within three years oil the land lying

The Call TO Democrats.
From the Lvnchburo Adu1nee.


In times Of great national danger and
trouble as at present prevails over the coun-
try. when tho very foundations OF our repub-
lcan form of government are threatened with
revolution and ultimate destruction, it is high
time for the people TO seriously consider the
situation aud take q forecast OF the conse-
ouences. 1t is too evident that. il the present
system Of legislation continues TO prevail in
Congress and the revolutionary schemes Of
the Republican party shall succeed, there is Mt
once an end OF anything like a free govern
ment in this country or remaining liberties OF
the States or people.
To properly understand tho issue and have a
full comprehension OF the serious dangers that
threaten US at this moment by what is transpir-
ing In Congress, 1t is only necessary to read
what follows from the mastery pen OF tn at able
statesman md unimpeachable Democrat
Samuel ]. Tiden, who took in the whole score
and theory OF our government and had "A broad
forecast OF the dangers and perils that beset
our free institutions 1T is TiIder speaking

SO far from being eliminated. tho "politi-
clans" and election workers will be moro
important under the new law than
under the old one. 1t actually makes
them Indispensable 1t adds to their
uses and their functions increases their in
fuence and number and really prevents the
elector from doing without them. 1t is very
probable, indeed, that the new law may serve
to make prominent in the field Of contem-
porary politics new order OF men. Many
OF the leaders In past contests may be re-
tired, but 1t will not be because their places
have become vacant, but because under the

simultaneously with tho publication OF
the facts about the White House invest
ments in Glen Echo lots. comes an astonish-
ing il not incredible statement through the
columns OF the Ne,p York Press. Tho ad-
verse comments concerning the reported
gilt of the Cape May Point cottage to Mrs.
HARRISON" says this newspaper, "arc now
discovered to have been baseless, because
the gift was not accepted, and President
HARRISON bought the cottage, after occu-
plying 1t long enough to ascertain that 1t
suited his purposes for $4,000"
The Press states this interesting circum-
stance editorially, and on what 1t pro-
nounces reliable authority" yet we cannot
accept the statement without further evil
dence.
BENJAMIN HARRISON is no fool in real es-
tate matters. He understands the vicissi-
tudes OF the promoters profession. Suppose
cold wave should strike the Glen Echo
lots. he would need the free cottage at Cape
May Point even more than he does now. He
would need 1t for himself, and for his family,

Doubtful Praise.

How much were the Hon. BENJAMIN HAIR
RIsoN's hands held up by the Ohio Republi-
cansp How much Joy and pride does he feel
at knowing that FoRAKEBs Convention
heartily endorsed the wise and conserva-
tive Administration OF President HARRI-
son ?" Approval Of this sort is not gratifying
unless 1t is made very strong. Everybody
knows that resolutions complimentary to
the President are expected from Conventions
ofhis party. Not to pass such resolutions
would be mark Of unusual contempt. They
are more or less Of a formality and often the
sincerity OF the compliment contained in
them Is open to suspicion. They are for
publication and not an evidence OF good
faith. The party has to be profoundly dis
gusted with the President It has chosen be-
fore it will go to the length OF making public
admission of its mistake and its failure by
refusing to say good word for him at its
State Conventions. Tho affront which O
State Convention OF tho New York Republic
cans put upon HAYES by voting down a reSo-
luton approving his Administration was ex-
treme and unusual.
We are not sure that the Ohio Repub-
leans have not consciously sighted Gen.
HARRISON almost as much as II they had
passed him over In contemptuous silence.
They HEARTILY endorse the wise and con-
servative Administration OF President HAIR
RIsoN," but they cordially endorse the
honest. wise. and patriotic Administration
OF Governor FORAKER" In their praise OF
the Governor Is found warmth that Is
lacking In their praise OF the President.
