tributes m article TO the Century on

Ing Tho Snake or Shoshone river

Of Wyoming and runs across the line
into Idaho, then passes quito across tho
Territory until 1t becomes the boundary
line between Idaho and Oregon Pass
ing h northeastern corner oil the last
mentioned State, 1t enters the State OF
Washington, and runs westward for q
long reach until It debouches into the
Columbia Tho Shoshone river Is one
OF great volume, second only to the
Colorado. Reservoir sites along It's
course in Wyoming and Idaho have al
ready been revealed by the surveys, and
1t Is shown hat in the upper region

nor han 100000 0 aero feet This
will irrigato at tho ifirst usage at least
9, 600. 600 acres Of land; and IL they 10
properly selected, SO that the waters
can be collected again and again after
serving the land, the area redeemed
will be moro than 1000, 900 acres. There
are many other tributaries below that
have not yet been examined, and 1t Is
safe to say that the waters Of tho
Shoshone with It's tributaries may ulti-
mately serve from 8, oOo, 900 to 10, OGo, 900
acres. In its utilization three classes
Of problems are involved. II the
waters are taken out in small canals
near to the river, and the lowlands
served first, and prior rights and inter
ests established on such lands, then but
a small part Of the stream can DO used,
and the greater part will run away to
the Pacific Ocean; and Subsequently tho
region OF irrigation a be enlarged
only by buying out vested water-rights
scattered along the course Of the river.
But if at the very beginning the water
can DO k out high up the river and
carried in great canals to either side
and there distributed to the higher
lands, and used over and over again on
its return, a complete utilization can DO
secured, and the cost Of tho construc.
ton of the system of irrigation by res.
ervoirs and canals will DO greatly re.
duced per acre. To irrigate {, 1000, o1C
acres OF land near to the river by shor;
canals taken out along its course here
and there will cost more than half as
much as the construction of hydraulic
works that will serve from @ ZOO, 600 to
5000, 900; while the scattered minor
works will DO forever subject to de.
%struction by tho floods, and the agricult
ure secured will be of less value pc,

served, and only imperfect drainage

Ho Told the Judge How Many Days Ho
Was Going to Get.
An interesting case Of Thought read
Ing" cane before the county court Of
Buda-Pesth a few days ago, writes q
Vienna correspondent. Tho accused,
a lively little man, was known as "The
Wizard Rabbi" or Tho Thought
Reader of Czernowitz." He was charged
by a bridesmaids assistant with cheating
him out Of q form. On tho table In
front OF tho judge wero the corpora de
hefi, consisting Of \ number OF papers
covered with hicroglyphics, two volumes
OF tho Babylonian Talmud and a bundle
OF circulars, which ran thus: ~ can
read the name, occupation, past and
future OF any man in his face. I can
read his thoughts and give him good ad-
vice, particularly in matters concerning
love, conjugnl happiness, different i'll
nesses and travelling"
Tho first question put TO tho prisoner
invited him to state precisely the nature
OF his profession.
Prisoner-I am q Thought reader"

correctly.
Heroupon followed an alteration be-
tween tho plaintiff and tho prisoner,
after which tho bench entered into q
brief consultation. Whom tho Judge
was about to pronounce sentence tho &C.
cuscd exclaimed:
II have read his thoughts again; no

Fssa COINAGE Or NorAIsD'

Tho INDEPENDENT stands in on
tho proposition to elect no man to
Congress who will not pledge himself
to favor the FREQ coinage OF silver
under any and all circumstances.
We want no compromise on the silver
question. No so.called steps in tho
right direction" II our representa-
tiyes TO the National Legislature are
the frieuds OF silver, let them support
a free coinage bill or nothing, II we
cannot have free coinage at the present
session, let the present law stand nn-
til tho people OF the United States
can elect men who will right the
wrong perpatrated upon the American
people in 1873.
There should DO no halfway legis-
lation which. while o~stensihly In the
Interests OF the white metal, has for
its object the total destruction OF sill
yer rs money. Anything except free
coinage, pure and simple, is moro
liable to be a step backward than an
Improvement on the law now in force.
Let the present law stand until we
-ca got what we demand; and when
hereafter n man offers himself IS Il
candidate for Congress, let us not
ask his politics but rather how he
stands on tho silver question.
The J~SDrpr~nrST will SnDDOrt n
many.who is Il true friend OF silver,
without regard to his politics; one
who will neither be bound by caucus
nominations when they conflict with
tho interests Of his constituents, nor
favor any compromise with the
