The fellow who wrote that snak,
story for the Philadelphia Record, we ar,
told, drank some First Ward whiskey up
on his arrival in this city few days ago.
That accounts for the large lot OF snakes
he saw. If he hadn't stopped drinking,
one of them would have swallowed him.
The ''phenominal liar" and plagiarist who
steals and re-wrtes sensational articles
for the Newark Daily Neaos from this
section, has not even the excuse of poor
whiskey as justification for his imposi-
ton on that paper Of the story, copied
word for word from the Philadelphia
Record, and professedly written from
Pennington. Worse still, the Trenton
State Gazette gets off the same stale
story in its last Thursdays issue, simply
changing the location of the story from
Lambertville to Titusville. 1t must be
badly off for reading matter.

1T is time that the Republicans of
Hunterdon were looking around for a
first-class candidate for State Senator.
We understand that Richard d. Reading,
the individual who makes people outside
Of the county think that he controls the
politics OF this county, has selected can
didate that is acceptable to his master,
and is talking him up. A candidate that
his owners are suited with is the man that
ought not to suit the self-respecting Re-
publican voters of this county.
II is also time that the paid agents of
outside parties should be taught that the
Hun,erdon Republicans arc capable OF
making their own selection, and will no
longer brook the mcddling of outsiders.
II the Republican party of this county
serves no better purpose than to be the
tool OF ''bosses,n to be used as they die
tate, il should take down its sign and
close up business.
A few years ago, the prospects of The
Republican party OF this county were
bright. There was grea, dissatisfaction
among the better class of Democrats, aud
q wise, honest and straightforward course
would have won many 10 urranks. But
unfortunately, this man Reading became
the self-nppointed leader and ''boss" OF
the party at that time, and his manage
ment or rather, mismanagemcnt, has be en-
fatal to ito growth. Instead Of making
advances, it polls probably less votes to-
day than 1t did fifteen years ago, and the
men OF character and brains in the party
have taken back seats. There must be u
change OF management IL the party hopes
for success In the future.

Of the wide-stretching PLAINS in the northern
part Of the state The Platte valley canal
takes its source in the Platte river, about
three miles north of Lupton, a town twenty
six miles north of Denver. The canal has an
appropriation of 400 cubic feet per second
and can irrigate %, 900 acres The construc-
ton cost about s35, 900. There is substan-
tial dam in the river, 200 feet long, which
cost about 5000. From the fact that there
are no fumes nor any timber work OF any
kind on the canal, with the exception of the
dam, its maintenance is comparatively mex
pensive.
The Loveland and Greeley canal is another
OF the enterprises with which this same COM
pany is connected, Its head is located on the
Big Thompson near Loveland 1t is thirty
one miles long, tweuty-six feet wide and five
feet deep, with variable grade. Its appro-
priation of water is 446 cubic feet per second,
and it is capable of irrigaung $4,000 acres, of
which nearly one-third is under cultivation.
This canal cost about Sl50,00 There are
two reservoirs near its head, which have
each surface area of nearly fifteen hundred
acres. A reservoir has also been constructed
at its lower end, on the hill overlooking
Greeley, which is capable OF holding 1000, 600
cubic feet of water.

ment Of irrigation on the grandest scale,
How has all this been doneI 1t is a story of
persistent energy and untiring efforts directed
against difficulties but aiming at great and
certain results.
The first attempt to build large ditch in
Colorado was undertaken in 1850 by few
citizens of Denver. They spent $4,000 and
managed to make complete failure Of it,
owing to the lack of experience and the un-
fortunate fact that their verdant engineer
had omitted to give any fall to his grade line.
Both the citizens and the engineer retired
from the business, but the spirit Of enterprise
kept on. Two years later the Platte
water company's ditch was built with better
success, and it still furnishes Denver with its
irrigating water. Between 1862 and 1850 the
irrigation movement got we'll under way.

these enterprises and see that they con-

provisions of these laws will be more fully
dwelt upon in subsequent article.
In his message delivered to the legislature
during the past week Cover
nor Routt admirably summed up the
present relations OF the state to this subject.
He said that irrigation was the most vital
and pressing subject that would come before
the legislature; that the people were holding
mass meetings in various parts OF the state
to discuss priority of rights and the use of
water for domestic purposes; that this matter
called for an early and decisive opinion from
the supreme court, and that the legislature
should pass effective laws on the subject. He
also advocates the establishment of reser-
voirs, and urges the legislature to call upon
congress to assist in this work by speedily
donating the arid public lands to the states

from the state, various forestry, agric ul tura
