FELLOW CITIzENs;-L Let me try 10
show the need Of irrigating our minds a
little in order that we may know some
thing of how to irrlgate our farms and
retain possession Of them. The season
for mental irrigation is very late, fear;
but with earnest and industrious work
we may yet avert the devOuring plague
and scOrching simeon, save crop and
secure our homes TO ourselves.
Some time ago / warned you OF the
fact that an immense CapitAliStiC scheme
was on foot TO irrigOte our lands and take
them from us. also tried 10 give some
idea Of how II WAS TO be done; but you
seemed to think II some wild, cratic Crea-
tlon Of my own. also gave you crude
synopsis Of how we might irrigate our
own farms, and thus retain possession Of
them. You listened in amused wonder
ment at the curious notion for the mo-
ment, and let " pass from your minds.
You wero not apparently worrying about
water 80 long as you cOuldspend couple
Of days every week TO haul enough to
scantily supply the house and three or
four head of stock, il wasn't worth while
to look over q newspaper to see IL
there was anything about water or irriga-
tion In II, or speak TO any one else on the
subject
Not so the capitalist, however He has
steadily avalled himself OF every means
possible to post himself on all matters
concerning irrigation, and how to get
our farms in his possession, He has fig

The strong arm Of labor has always de-
Tended the American republic and with
Gods approval, always will. IL Is absurd
TO suppose that harm can come TO the
republic from the Knights Of Labor or
any other organization Of the industrious,
useful workers, who recognize their
mothers and sisters as the political equal
OF the bosses and Coons, which are now
such fearful menace, not only TO the
purity Of the ballot box and the per
petuity Of republican institutions, but
also TO the home and the church. And
now that the Farmers Alliance and Co
operative union have petitioned and
urged your honorable body in respectful
and oogent words TO pass senate bill No.
28O0, have In good faith asked for a Co
operation more just and defensible than
that which has always existed between
II, the government on the one side and
the landlords and coal barons on the
other, more wise and polite than that
which subsists between II and the bank
ers, more philanthropic and humane than
the partnership with distillers; therefore
in view Of all the facts, our pledges and
obligations as members Of the Knights
Of Labor, we are compelled by every
rlghtful consideration to earnestly pray
God and the honorable senate Of the
United States TO grant said reasonable
petition. Respectfully,

you begin to wonder what the supervisors

come TO the conclusion that this Is to find
out how much Of the ten dollars valua-
tion per acre the land is already In debt
for, and where located, the mortgage by
individuals which they fought so hard TO
exclude from the census bill. The CAPT
tallst knows all about IL, as he himself
holds all that have not been fOreClosed,
and II is very important that a law be
passed empowering him to irrigate our
farms and secure pay for u before con-
gress adjOurns next July, as a new one
might not be quite so pllable.
The calCulative basis at present for ir-
rlgatiOn is FIVE dollars per acre, as recon-
mended by Major Powell in his report to

200, which at 4 per cent amounts to
S73,223 per year for the county, or $46Os0
per quarter section; and in twenty five
years this just pays the original invest
ment back. But the Major seems to
think we ought to pay this interest a
couple of years more; then ace, or WhOeUer

and beVeled to give the two-and-a-half de-
gree angle. By using number of these to-
gether pretty short curve can be secured.
All the work is inspected as il is done by
Mr.. Dehnis Mcbride, for the Philadelphia
Company. The inspector is with the pipe
layers all the time to see that the work is
up to the standard of requirements. This
will avoid any delay in accepting the con-
tract or making use of the line.
TESTING THE PIPE.
A mile or two behind the pipe-laying
gang is another gang of inspectors and
, calkers When a section of pipe is laid a
cap is put on the end, and the gas turned in
from this city. The inspectors then 90 over
the pipe very carefully, searching for any
little breaks there may be. When any are
found they are properly calked, after which
the trench is filled in. Most OF the filling in
is done with scoop shovels and horse power.
Enough dirt is first thrown in to tamp about
the pipe, and the rest is dumped in with
the big scoops. The writer walked over
more than a mile of the uncovered pipe
where the inspectors and calkers had not
been yet, and found no leak at all, not even
a small one, proving the big pipe to be
economical at least.
Expansion is provided for by inserting an
expansion joint for about each $50 feet of
distance. This joint is constructed with a
steel fange in the middle. The two sides of
the aanRs are riveted toeether at the pc.

Imray had achieved the impossible.
Without warning, for no conceivable mo-
tive, In his youth and at the threshold Of mis-
career he had chosen to disappear from the
world-which is to say, the little Indian
station where he lived.
Upon day he was alive, well, happy and
in great evidence at his club, among the
billiard tables. Upon morning he was not,
and no manner Of search could make sure
where be might be. He had stepped out Of
his place; he had not appeared at his office
at the proper time, and his dog cart was not
upon the public roads. For these reasons
because he was hampering in microscopic
al degree the administration of the Indian
Empire the Indian Empire paused for one
microscopical moment to make inquiry into
the fate of Imray. Ponds were dragged,
wells were plumbed, kilograms were dis
patched down the lines of railways and to
the nearest seaport town., 200 miles away;
but Imray was not at the end of the drag
ropes or kilograms. He was gone and his
place knew him no more. Then the work of
the great Indian Empire swept forward, be-
cause it could not be delayed, and Imray
from being man became a mystery-such
thing as men talk over at their tables in
the club for a month and then forget utterly.
His guns, horses and carts were sold to the
highest bidder. His superior officer wrote
an absurd letter to his mother, saying that
Imray had unaccountably disappeared and
his bungalow stood empty on the road.
After three or four months of the scorch-
ing hot weather had gone by my friend
Strickland, OF the police, saw fit to rent the
bungalow from the native landlord. This
was before he was engaged to Miss Youghal,
