GENERAL IRISH ON IRRIGA-
TION.
RENO. NEv., April Is, 1891.


To THE Adcocate: The people
of lis State should not be misled,
and by the misleading give up the
idea that water can be had by
means OF storage for the irrigation
of our agricultural lands at a
reasonable cost.
Many are apt to be mislead in
this matter by the published,-oft
and epeated-cost of immature
plans for irrigation schemes in
which the fancy of the projectors
has led up to the planning, on
paper, OF enormous dams, fifty
feet to one-hGndred feet high to
be constructed of stone, and 1 hear
of one to be constructed I6O fit.
high of ca tn. These are plans |
which by cost alone scare away |
immigration to cur State, a much |
needed inducement, to prevent the
resident farmers from attempting
to do anything themselves in the
way of storage, and last, but not
the least of all, these fancy plans
by their very make up prevent
men of means from investing in
such improvements. Thus are
the vital interests of the State
dwarfed and withered by these
nonsensical windy plans. What
we 50 much need is action in this
matter. We need individuals to
look about them and carefully
select such localities as will best
present the needed advantages
then go at work upon them, with
the certain knowledge that low
dams Of earth properly built have
so far furnished nine-tenths Of all
the irrigation OF the world /

but that there are
localities in which properly con- r
structed high, and therefore costly

structure, but let US so right ahead

that do not hesitate to meet a tiger in
fair fight, and sometimes prove victOri-
GUS. These buffaloes are also able to
act in unison for the common defense.
a good instance was furnished TO me
by man named Smithson, who had
himself witnessed it, says a writer in
the Youths Companion. He had
wounded a tiger slightly and had for
some time been cautiously following it
up, when he saw a herd of ten full
grown buffaloes, all COWS, with some
calves near them, moving about in an
excited manner on hillside half mile
away from him.
Watching them closely, Smithson
saw that the tiger that he had
wounded was also on the hillside, and
that was the reason why the buffaloes
were so much disturbed. Smithson
wished to push on at once and try to
overtake the beast, but the men with
him suggested that it was a good op-
portunity to witness an uncommon
sight, and that, if he wished it, the
buffaloes should be set on the tiger.
He consented, much interested in
what might result. A few words
were shouted across to an old woman
who was in charge of the herd. She
spoke to the buffaloes, and in a few
minutes Smithson saw the whole herd,
headed by why old COW, attack the
tiger, which fed incontinentlY before
them.
They turned him thrice and then
ran into him, tossing him about and
giving him q very bad quarter of an

AS the moon rose, the mountainous
came down from the villages, and. en-
barking on RATS and IN canoes, went
round the different hills, shooting and
spearing the animals that had sWum
there; and truly the sight of such a
hunting scene was an exciting one.
Here a stout stag, defending himself
with his antlers as best he might
against the spearsmen, kept up a gal
liant fight till death.
The tiger we had seen in the morning
took to swimming, and on being wound
ed with a spear turned on the nearest
canoe, upsetting the hunters into the
water, where a desperate encounter
took place: but he was eventually dis
patched by a blow from an ax-not,
however, before he had elawed some OF
his pursuers most severely.
At daylight the water had entirely
gone down, and a thick, muddy deposit
covered all the lowland, while an i'm
mense number of snakes, scorpions,
and other unpleasant creatures lay
dead in all directions, upon which and
the drowned animals vultures, crows,
and kites were feeding.

shot as he charged up the slope, all
took refuge elsewhere.
Soon the water burst through the
river bank, spreading over the country,
sweeping down the tall grass Jungle
and surging and roaring round our
hill Packing all that was valuable in
small parcels, we gathered them IN a
heap, hoping that the food would sub
side ere it reached the building. All
round about large trees, uprooted by
the terrible force of the deluge, were
swept along, several animals vainly
trying to keep a footing among their
roots and branches. At last the water
reached the steps of the house; so.
pulling our boat close up We stepped
in with what We could save and hung
to the wooden posts of the building,
vainly trusting that the worst had
come; but it was not so, for we soon
had to leave go the post and pass the
boats rope round a tree. The water
then rushed in, the house tOppled over,
and 1t and its contents were swept
away by the flood
In short time the tree began to
shake and bend, so we knew that it was
being uprOOted; therefore, letting
go the rope, we launched forth
upon the seething waste of waters and
were whirled away. Onward we rushed
through masses of logs, branches, the
remains of houses, and such like wreck,
having TO be very careful that our frail
vessel did not get upset or crushed.
Twice we made for the tops of hills
that showed themselves above water,
but on approaching them we found that
they had been taken possession of by
wild animals.
Here tiger crouehed on the branch
of tree, seemingly too much alarmed
at his perilous position to modest the
half-dozen deer that crowded timidIy
together right underneath his perch.
Up above him the smaller branches
were stocked with monkeys, who looked
very disconsolate at their enforced i'm
prisonment. AS We swept past the
tiger raised his head. gave a deep
growl, and showed his teeth, then
crouched down again as If fully aware
of his helplessness, and We had too
much to think of ourselves to interfere
with him
Gaining the open country, the scene
was one of desolation; but the current
was not so strong, so we turned round.

looked at him in a peculiar way, and
then turned her head quickly, as if she

hibited q plant to a friend and when
asked what it was replied, after a mo-
ment's hesitation, that it was "a rare
specimen of the Encyclopedia Britain

this is a pretty little fiction of some

Boston fiction one hardly dares to be-
ieve In the hope he struggles to enter
tain. Boston fiction can not be said to
be bright, and the scintillating story
of the Record is, We fear. too truthful.
The fear leads one to speculate upon
the probable cause of the degener-
alton of Boston brain, and the specu-
lation leads to the remark that, in this
day of Sabbatarianism and reform,
when good people everywhere are
struggling nightly to suppress evils
such as drinking, smoking, or Sabbath
recreation, some reformer should put
his hand to the suppression of Howells
and the Boston habit of intoxicating
and weakening the brain by imbibing
the intellectual drink which he places
at the lip. Something must be done.

Taking from a shelf, where he had
