The Irrigation Report.

The United States senate committee
on arid lands who made an investigation
of this region last summer have presented
their report. The committee split on the
method of irrigation and presented
majority and minority reports. The
majority report favors artesian irrigation
The following passages of the report will
be of interest as showing the opinion of
the majority:
Opinion was unanimous in the two Da-
kotas in support of liberal appropria-
tion for an irrigation survey, and the de-
mand was made on all sides that the
general government should appropriate
also sam Of money sufficient to defray
the expenses of rapid geologic and hydro
graphic reconnoissances by which the
three forms OF developinga water supply
already named might be fairly outlined
and located in connection with the phys
ical features Of the Dakotas. It is con-
sidered especially desirable that rea.
sonable and speedy effort should be
made to ascertain the limits and charac-
ter of the several we'll belts, and that
some experimental wells be sunk to give
knowledge to the people and courage to
the settlers, present and prospective. The
appeal is, in your committees judgment,
reasonable one, especially in view of
the fact that there remain at least q,

Too Flat to lrrigate.

If correctly reported, the following
which appeared in the Aberdeen News as
coming from Col. Nettleton will be of
interest as bearing on the character of
the report which the irrigation commits
sion will make:
When asked if the Jim valley could be
successfully irrigated Col. Nettleton
replied that it was "altogether too fine
. country to be handled in this manner"
In other words, he thought the land was
| too level for the greatest success. He
was inclined TO believe that irrigation
was hardly necessary in this country for
It's settlement and growth. All new
countries had passed through the trials
that Dakota is now undergoing and all
had come out right in the end. Kansas
and Nebraska had experienced success
sive drouths for years, but habltation
and cultivation have brought moisture
and equalizel it's distribution. BE
thought the experience here would be
repetition to some extent of that noted
in early days in other states. The aver
age rain fall now was sufficient if proper
ly distributed, and settlement would do
this. His experience and observation
led him to believe the Dakotas could
stand good deal of dry weather and
that a large rain fall would we'll nigh
render the country swamp on account
of it's phenomenal hatness. He would
advise the farmers of the state to stick
to their holdings if a possible thing for
better time was coming beyond any ques-
ton.
The colonel's remarks are entitled to
great weight, not only for their signlf-
canoe as bearing upon the report of the
commission but more particularly on ac-
count of his long and varied career in
the ard regions Of the United States. He
knows exactly of what he is speaking.

"A Conspicuous Realty.

New York Sun: A star of unwonted
brightness shining low in the western
sky just after sundown, began to attract
attention in the closing days of April,
and with daily increase of brilliancy and
elevation it has now become phenome-
non that catches every observant eye.
It is Venus, the earth's sister planet, re-.
turning once more with its unvarying
regularity of celestial revolutions to re-
assert its supremacy as the star of even
ing. There are other evening stars
mentioned in the almanac, and in fact all
of the planets at one time or another
figure in that role, but when Venus is in
presence all the others hide their diunn-
ished light. When she shines at her
best, as she will in the coming summer
and autumn, this beautiful planet furn-
ishes a never failing source of wonder
that star can be so bright. Even now
from her place on the farthest side of the
sun, she reflects back the solar blaze
from her surface with such splendor of
refulgence that is seen from the earth,
one hundred and fifty million miles dis
tant, she is after the sun and the moon,
the most conspicuous reality in the

Ascer, aimed at Devils Lake.

Devils Lake News: The irrigation
commissioners, Prof. G. E. Culver, Rail.
road Commissioner Underhlll, COL Net
tleton and Stenographer Gleenwell, arriv-
cd Wednesday morning and proceeded at
once to collect such scientific evidence as
Devils Lake artesian we'll furnishes. The
elevation here is 1869 feet or 63 feet
above the jamestown we'll. The pres
sure of our we'll is 25, of jamestown 95.
The flow of Devils Lake we'll ls 70 gal
Ions minute, or about $500 barrels a
day, which is great deal less, say the
commissioners, than they have found in
any other place. The formation is the
same as at jamestown and the data OBJ
tanned here strengthens the theory that
the artesian water supply has its source
in the Rocky mountains. The commits
sioners went west on yesterdays train. A
fuller account will be given in next
weeks issue.

100000 acres more of public land still
open to settlement. The chief crops OF
Dakota are the hard wheat, for which it
is famous. corn, oats, barley, potatoes
and hay. The loss by drouth is put at
10 per cent for wheat, 80 for corn and 30
for oats.
Evidence was given showing how in q
instances the overflow of wells irrigated
tracts Of grain. and that such tracts fur
nished abundant crops while all the
other fields we're blighted. It was stated
that the rise in the value Of land if
water security prevailed would be from
$40 to $40 per acre. The president of
the agricultural college at Brookings
estimated the immediate rise in the
James river valley alone at $50 per acre.
Ten dollars was given as the present
value of farm land per acre. With sum
mer security of water each acre would
be worth $50. That would be an increase
of $14O,OOO.OOO in one section alone. 1t
will be unnecessary on that basis to
make calculation for the 35,OOO,OOO
acres now occupied or held by ind1vid-
uals, as it would be so large as to pre-
vent belief Yet the James river esti-
mate given is not too high. Still the
people are, as pioneers, to poor as yet to
undertake the work of defining and indi-
eating the photographic supplies or the
most profitable manner of using and
storing them. This once done by the
general government, as they claim
should be the case, there would be no
difficulty, it ls declared, of obtaining all
the capital needed for the work OF de-
ve]opment and construction. Youl CON-
mittce agrees with this view.

Nulllfying Prohibition.

There is little reason to doubt but that
the recent supreme court decision has
practically nullitied prohibition. The
states that now have prohibitory laws in
force are unfortunate, but those having
prohibition in their constitutions are
doubly so. The extent to which the de-
cision reaches is just being realized.
Judge Henderson of Iowa, himself an
earnest prohibitionist and one of the
closest students of liquor legislation,
after Il careful study OF the decision,
says:
l. That saloon keepers can import into
this state from another state or nation,
any kind of liquor in any kind Of pack
ages, however small, and sell any package
to any customer without regard to age,
sex, color, or previous condition, even the
veriest sot, without let or hindereuce, SO
far as any law to the contrary is con-
cerned.
?. That the person to whom it is sold
may drink it IN the place where it is sold,
or elsewhere, as there is no law of this
state or congress prohibiting the lawful
purchase of liquors from drinking it
whenever he pleases.
g. That the state has no power to pro-
hibit or regulate, nor tax nor license such
sale. nor is there any limit to the kind
or quantity nor quality to the liquor SO
sold, only that it must be sold in original
package or packages. If the original
packages consist of half-ounce phials, or
any less quantity Except when imported
from foreign countries, in which case the
laws Of congress prescribe the size and
quantity of bottle package) a phial. d
bottle, a dray-load or carload may be
sold to one customer.
/. So the decision practically nullifes
all state laws prohibiting or licensing or
in any manner regulating or interfering
with the sale of any liquors imported
into any state from another state or for
eign nation.
5. That saloons for selling liquor in
phials or bottles, in the original pack
ages, can be established thick on every
street in every city. town or village in
Iowa or any other state, if brought from
some other state or foreign country.
6. Finally it is practically acd neces-
sarily, death-blow to prohibition and
license ('for revenue only and all re-
strictive and regulative laws, and there
is no remedy short of congressional ac
tion, only that in case the business is
carried on IN such d manner as to be a
nuisance, suppose the state may punish
the disorderly proceedings as a nuisance.

ed from drouth, which it il now hoped,
is broken. Reports from northwestern
Iowa say that district has been visited
by Il second soaking rain The ground
is sufficiently moist to oinsure big crops SO
far as rain is concerned. On account of the
drouth last summer and the continued
drouth this spring meadow land has suf-
fered badly and in consequence the tame
hay crop will be very short. The last
rains have come IN time to save the wild
grasses, and the pasturage will be good

PLANS OF ACTION.

The State Railroad Commissioners to
Take Legal Measures tor the En-.
EDrcemcnt Of the Laws.
The regular monthly meeting of the
railroad commissioners will be held to-
morrow at the capitol. In the matter of
securing the benefits OF the coal rate
established by the last legislature, Com
missioner Bartlett stated today, that an
effort would be made to compel the
roads to comply with the law. The COM
mission has received word from the
Great Northern road. that in the Cotton
test matter the coal would not be trans
ported at the rate the law named be-
cause the law is unconstitutional, mas
much as the rate is less than cost Of
service to the company. The commits
sioners will apply for mandamus to
Judge Morgan or to some other judge OF
the state and endeavor to get the sup
rene court to render Il decision on the
matter rs soon as possible.
In the Grand Forks crossing matter,
where the Great Northern declines to
join with the Northern Pacific in the
Of "Y' to facilitate ship
ments of freight from one road to an
other; the commission will also take
steps to enforce the law, which, Mr..
Bartlett says. is plain on the point. The
attorney general will be requested to
take whatever immediate action he may
deem necessary to secure the conven-
ience desired by the public. The North
ern Pacific has always stood in readiness
to comply on it's part with the order of
the commissioners.

South Dakota Items.

Several South Dakota men were at the
Gladstone last night. They said the
whole state was talking about the origi
nal package decision, and that it would
defeat prohibition in all the larger towns
at least, and it is more than likely that
small saloons and low drinking places
would spring up in the villages and
smaller towns. IL was stated that
saloons had opened up in Sioux Falls,
Watertown, Huron and other towns;
although prohibition had but recently
gone into effect in that state.
Among the other items OF state inter-
est discussed was the prevailing belief
that Pierre would lose the capital and
that Huron would secure it.
