ARTESiAK WELL IRRIGATION.

While selfish office seekers in Nebra,
ka and adjoining states are chargingth
republican congress with totally neglect
ing the farm interests of the west, til
government is vigorously pr~osecutin
experiments, the success of which mus
be ofincalculable value to the producers
The investigation ordered by congress
to determine the availability of the under
flow and artesian water for irrigation
comprehends the arid and semi-arid EN-
pirc between the eastern foothills o.
the Rocky mountains and a line drawn
southwark along the eastern boundar,
OF North Dakota, passing west of Lin
coin and south to Ell Paso, Texas. The
law requires that the work be completed
by July next. The comparatively brief
period allowed for the investigation anC
the vast territory to be covered, ha.
called out the energy and resources OF
the agricultural department, and every
effort will be made to demonstrate by
practical tests the truth of the claims
of all biologists who have examined
the region.
The experiments conducted in the
DakOtas during the summer fully sus
tain the assertion Of the advocates OF
artesian irrigation. The flow secured
from each well is sufficient TO irrigate
1000 acres of land. 1t is not the inten.
ton of the government to bore wells
promlscuously, but merely to demon
strate the force and quantity of the I'M.
derfow, to supervise the use of the water
obtained and report results. The feast,
bility of the scheme once determined in
the territory mapped out, the govern
ment will leave private enterprise to
do the rest.
Secretary Rusk regards the work as
the most important yet undertaken by
the government in the west. The data
in possession of the department. con-
firms what close observers have main
tanned, that a large proportion of the
mountain streams is lost in the great
stratum of gravel and boulders under
lying the country from fifteen to one
hundred feet. The Frenchman river in
western Nebraska is mainly supplied
from this great underground reservoir.
Even in the dryest season there is no
perceptible depreciation in the volume
of water, thus proving its subterranean
source. To define the boundaries of
this great basin and demonstrate how
it will best subserve the interests of the
country is a work of far reaching posi-
bilities. The success Of the undertak-
ing means the disappearance of d~roughts
and scorching hot winds which almost
annually blight sections of the Dakotas,
western Nebraska and Kansas. Asup-
ply of artificial moisture during July
and August will render these sections
in productive fertility the peer of any
in the cOuntry.-Bee.

HOW. E. ROSEWATER.

Well the Hon. E. Rosewater has
been here and is gone. He did not bring
his George Washington Ratchet with him,
hence was not able to chip off such adult
huncks of truth as was expected. But
he did fairly we'll considering how heavi-
Iy he was handicapped. Instead of the
G. w. Ratchet Mr.. Rosewater was arm
ed with a deadly array of "iggers'' quite
as veracious. A very large and intel
ligent audience was Herewith effectu-
ally pummeled into the Land of Nod.
1t may be said that the operation, like
modern dentistry, was painless. With
reference to Mr.. St. Johns respects to
him in a recent speech here Mr.. Rose
water proved that while his ancestry
were worshiping in Solomon's temple,
Mr.. St. Johns forefathers were hunt
ing wild boars, and indulging in sundry
other unseemly conduct in the primeval
forests of the "tight little island"
Tracing his ancestry to the founder
Of the Christian era, Mr.. Rosewater
pointed with excusabIe pride to the fact
that while Nh. St. John wore a sunfow-
er and in company with long haired
men and short haired men-cranks and
fanatics-made his living defaming
Nebraska's fair name, that Mr.. Rose
water "wore the white flowers of a blame
less life, before a thousand p%eering lit
licensees, in that fierce light which beats
upon "a newspaper sanctum-or words
to that effect. AS intimated in the out
start, Mr.. Rosewater left his G. w.
Ratchet with the j%anitor of the Bee
building, and some of his statistics and
"Ggggers" were insists; and yet to his
sympathetic hearers his u%tterances are
as Holy Writ, while his more critical
prohibition hearers accept his effort with
a few grains of salt, and are uncharita-
BILE enough to rend not a few of his
statements into fragments. You pay
your money and make your choice. But
you can count the votes made by him
on the fingers of one hand and have at
least four fingers left.

The voters of Red Willow county
have a duty to perform, this fall. They
must establish that they are the people,
and that the county commissioners are
but their servants at so much a day,
subject to the expressed will Of the peo-
pie. The experience of this summer
teaches that the people must maintain
their rights, and must relegate to pri-
vate life the man who dared to deny
their petition, and presumed to add in
suit to injury. Vote for Johnston and
Hodgkin and be served fairly and eco
nomically.

Did the Omaha Bee tell the truth
two years ago when, in a spasm of dis
interested virtuousness, 1t declared that
the license system as it exists in Omaha
under the Slocumb law, "has been a
source of corruption and irregularity,"
"has exacted political support from the
low dives and bummers," and 'has used
the liquor men to do the dirty work at
the primaries and elections" or, does
it tell the truth now, when it denies that
state of affairs and sounds the praises
of the High License law-at $2.l0 an
inch?
