Irrigation.
ny II. II. ELLIS.

Within the history OF our country no
question has come to the front more
rapidly than the irrigation Of lands for
agricultural purposes. While in South
west Texas, Utah, Colorado and Califor-
MIA few thousand acres had been brought
under that system, comparatively few of
the people know anything aboutit When
the Fifheth Congress was asking for a
small appropriation for surveys and re-
ports, II was looked upon with suspicion,
and passed more as an experiment than
with the expectation that any real bene-
ft would be derived from it. In the or
ganization of the present Congress, with
some, at least, II was not thought worthy
OF committee, and best to treat the
matter with total Indifference Only a
few weeks passed before it became evi-
dent that 1t was q Ave, vital question that

ECONOMY 10 Wealth,

Ninety cents per day were the wages
paid by John Jacob AstoB The richest
man in the United States, for the very
hard work Of polishing up the marble
walls Of the vault in Trinity cemetery on
Washington Heights, which now contains
his remains. Inside and In front of my
store, and few weeks before his death,
the Job was given out on the competitive
system to the lowest bidder. Standing
between starvation and suicide number
of healthy, strong and willlngyoung men
underbid each other. One man offered
his services for 81 per day, another for
$t.75. The third one was accepted as
he offered his labor at 90 cents a day.
John Jacob Astor donated less than one
per cent Of his wealth 10 education and
charity, aud bequeathed over 90 per cent
TO his son with compound usury ON top.
TO counteract the i'll effects Of q system
under which such things are possible we
ought to put on the screws Of progress

to nationalize industry. We shall thus

directly to the moral sentiment Of every

is. While Senator Blair is occupying
much valuable time in the Senate advo-
eating his educational bill and urging lbs
adoption, other factors, under other laws,
are at work demolishing the progress al

this large appropriation for war? Various
reasons have been given in answer, but
the one that seems TO affect the people
most is that this vast amount Of enginery
for death Is being prepared for the strug
glo Of capital against labor The history
OF Che past has shown us that great agita-
tions among the people for reform have
ended in war; War, that demon that
hungers and thirsts for blood, and whose
appetite is never satisfied. A bill that
calls for hundreds of millions Of dollars
for death, and not one million to bore
wells In the Dakotas to get water that
would bring prosperity and happiness to

millions have been spent on the banks OF
the Mississippi, and JUSTLY TO keep the
country from being overhowed? Surely,
our Southern brethren will not object to
giving us that which we so much need,

Special meetings have been held az which
this discussion has been carried on. AT
their last Saturday evening meeting held
at the Western headquarters, Major Pow
ell confined himself 10 the consideration
Of the artesian water for irrigation pur-
poses. Ills summing up was listened to
with great interest In his closing re-
marks showing that more than half Of all
agricultural productions were raised upon
irrigated lands; that in India, Great Brit
ain had expended over 40,0O0,0OO pounds
sterling upon their system Of irrigation,
and their work was yet far from compile
tion. The best informed we're not pre-
pared for bis statement that more than
haif Of our country actually comes within
the arid region which can he made the
richest and best Of all our agricultural
lands by the proper storing and use Of
the storm waters that now not only go to
waste, but are often the causeof great
damage and disastrousdoods There are
at the present time only few thousand
acres Of irrigated land in the United
States and territories, yet enough has
been done to prove the necessity Of i'm
mediate legislation, and large appropria-
tlons to carry forward surveys and place
the whole system whore II may not be
embarrassed by international and inter
state complications, and to place the
system beyond the experimental stage.
At the close Of the lecture, General Bane,
who Is at the head oftbe contest division
Of the General Land Office, stated that
while receiver Of the Utah Land Office at
Salt Lake City, he saw 1000 bushels Of
fine wheat grown from ten acres Of irri-
gated land, and that it is his opinion that
for the Dakatos, Nebraska and Kansas,
irrigation will not only prove more safe
and reliable but FAR more profitable than
depending upon the natural rainfall. No
more important question cOnfronts legis-
lators than the right disposition Of this
question. National Economesh

French the Indians learned the Roman
