Irrigation
Matters.


Matters. terested in the irriga-
ton question. with
which the prosperity of Montana and
the DakotaS is largely bound up. There
are vast tracts of land here which would
be exceedingly fertile and productive if
there was any rainfall. In talking with
Senator Jones about the matter he told
me of the effort that is being made to
secure all appropriation to test the eff
feet of mid-air explosions to produce
rain. In substance he said: Il lraye a
theory thatif large quantities of dyna-
mite or other powerful explosives were
sent up by balloons TO great height
over these arid plains and then
exploded, either by time fuses
OF by the aid of electricity over wires
attached to the balloons, the effect
would be to gather clouds and precipi-
tate rain. OF course. the theory is vet
untried. We have been trying to get
small appropriation to test it. But
there are some experiences that favor
its TeasOnablenesS. For instance, when
the Union Pacific road was being con-
structed over the Rocky mountains,
vast charges of explosives were daily
set off in the rocks. In regions where
rain had not fallen for years the en-
gineers tell us that. after the blasting
operations began and while they con-
tinued, rain fell constantly every dav
for six months. When the blasting
ceased the rain stopped. 1t is common
history that after every great battle of
modern times rain has fallen cOpiOusly.
Now, if explosives on the earth's sur
face will produce such results, why
may not better results be produced by
explosives in mid-air?'

| fessional justification. The bravery and
| daring of TAYLOR alone on the one side and
the overweening confidence of the Mexican
! leader, Santa Anna, On the other, brought
about the conflict. The result undoubted-
" placed the American arms il Mexico on
the road to triumph
When the Mexican war began in earnest
Gen Taylor was in command Of the south
ern district OF the western department,
| charged with the defense Of the Mexican
border, and had already fought his way to
Monterey, q hundred miles southwest of
the Rio Grande, and was preparing to
march promptly into the heart Of Mexico.
BY reference to a map it will be seen that a
short route could be had by the invading
army from the coast at Vera Cruz to the
Mexican capital Taylor advised the gov
eminent to send an army there ALSO and
thus divide the enemy. The troops under
Taylor were il two columns. one under his
personal leadership and another small di-
vision Of 5000 new troops at SaltillO, west
of Monterey, under command of Gen. John
E Wool. At the beginning Of the year 1S47
Taylor was at Victoria, about 100 miles
southeast of Monterey.
At this time all the sea coast was in the
hands Of the United States, and Gen. Win
field Scott, the ranking officer Of the army,
was OF Vera Cruz under instructions to
take supreme command and carry out the
plan Of campaign from Vera Cruz to the
City Of Mexico as had been suggested by
Taylor. This route was up the steppes
where the Mexicans had taken every pains
TO fOrtify against the invasion OF their CAPT
tai, and Scott felt compelled TO draw troops
from Taylor 10 strengthen his own COM
mand. After he had turned over his best
officers and mon to Scott, Taylor repaired
to Saltillo TO join his remnant to WooPs
division, and he then had under his COM
mand in the valley Of the Rio Grande lit
tie army Of $500 men. Only portion of
these had ever been under fire and but
about 500 were regulars. All Mexico was
filled with enthusiasm, and the dictator
quickly gathered an army Of 10000 Of the
best troops for the national defense, and
marched to the valley Of the Rio Grande to
expel the invader Wool, at SaItiIlo, was
isolated from all support, and Santa Anna,
with his overwhelming force, set out to
crush the little division of about 5000 men.
TaylOr's remnant made a junction with
Wool Just when Santa Anna had passed
beyond San Luis Potosi, and old "Rough
and Ready" as his soldiers called him,
started out with his pitifully weak battal-
ions to engage the enemy. Wool opposed
the desperate movement, and after advanc-
ing twenty miles the commander was in
duccd by his lieutenant to return to
mountain pass which the latter had dis
covered at Anyos5ura. The place was an
other ThcrmopylR- A narrow causeway
between steep mountain spurs on the one
side and impossible watercourses and "a
vines on the other was the only road by
which the Mexican army could march for
ward Taylor deployed his men on the
mountain spurs and on the crests Of the
ravines. The artillery was admirably post
ed to protect the roadway and to sweep the
approaches over the plains in front.

the line, and it appeared from dispatches
which passed over the wires that the towns
all about were alert for Morgan. On test
ing the wires the raider found thst he
could safely cut OF the Frankfort Office
and receive all its business at Midway. In
short time Lexington asked Midway If it
would be safe 70 run a train between those
stations. The answer was:
"All right Come on. No rebels here!"
Following this came military order
from the Union commander at Lexington,
Gen W, TO his subordinate at Frank
fort, Gen. F, to move all his forces out
on the railroad and swat orders at Mid
way. 1t was now necessary to deceive the
authorities and give Morgan chance to be
of in one direction while his enemies were
massing troops il another direction Els
worth then telegcaphed TO Union head
quarters at Lexington that the raiders had
passed By Midway toward Frankfort.
1t was necessary to confirm this letter by
bogus dispatch from Frankfort, but Els
worth did not know the rules of charges
and could net risk formal message for
fear OF making fatal mistake. He waited
sometime until the wires were occupied by

so that Lexington could not call Frankfort
again and detect the fraud.
The command then moved on toward
Lexington, reaching Georgetown at night.
Ellsworth seized the telegraph Office, found
the instruments removed, put in his own,
and called Lexington. Morgan had de-
cided to scare Lexington and ride around
it, north SO as to cross the line at Paris and
get out of the state. He was within sixty
miles OF Cincinnati. Ellsworth said TO Lex

| were torn numerically by the double
! charges Of grape that literally combed the
| plains where those daring fellows rode as
/ fearless az the six hundred at Balaklava
/ Seeing this, the Mexican infantry began to
WAIVER. "Now," said Taylor to Bragg,
whose battery stood near, "a leetle more
! grape, captain"
A little more grape all along the line de-
cided the day. Twilight found the Next
cans back in their tracks of the morning,
and Taylor held the battlefield.
The Americans had won brilliant vic
tory, but they did not know it. The Next
cans had left 500 dead and mortally wound
ed behind them on the battle ground, and
their repulse had been SO unexpected and
so bloody withaI that the high enthusiasm
which they had shown at the opening of
the campaign collapsed in perfect panic
of Decentralization. The true state of things
in the Mexican camp could not be known
at the American headquarters, however,
and some of Gen. Taylor's advisers coun-
seized a speedy retreat before Santa ma
could recover from his stunning repulse
and gather vigOr for another blow. Gen.
Thomas l.. Crittenden, Of Kentucky, who
was an aid on Taylors staff, is authority
for the statement that Wool proposed that
the army retire to a new position in the
rear. Taylor responded, with his usual
readiness, NO | will never pass my
wounded while live"
The wounded were then being carried to
the rear by the painfully slow process of
stretcher bearing, and retrograde move
ment, to be of any value in the emergency,
must be so rapid that the wounded would
fall behind tho troops and become prison
ers. TABOR did not retreat, and in the
morning it was discovered that the dictator
and his grand McXio2n army of defense
had fed. The pres 5ige of victory was to
the side that held the battlefield, and the
effect OF Taylor's pluck was that Santa
Annals army deserted him.
