ABOUT ARTESIAN WELLS.

The census reports upon irrigation
show that one year ago this month there
were S,097 flowing artesian wells in the
United States. Of this number 5000
wells were employed in irrigation. wat
atering 81 ,296 acres or an average OF 1921
acres per week. The majority of these
wells were in California and Utah, the
former state having 3,2l0 and the latter
1884. Colorado had 596, Texas 534,
South Dakota 527 and North Dakota 46l.
We find idaho credited with IS, Wash
ington 9 and Oregon 6. Those in Idaho
were divided between Oneida and Bing-
hamrcounties. Washington's 8 are in
Whitman county, excepting one in Spo-
kane. Oregon's wells are divided among
Crook, GiIlium, Harney and Wasco
counties
The conclusion derived from the data
gathered by the census is that irrigation
by artesian wells should not be at
tempted where other means are availa-
BILE. The average cost of irrigating an
acre of land with artesiau water is
figured Mt 1888, in comparison with
'ss.l5 by the ordinary methods. In
many Instances, however, the artesian
we'll is superior and cheaper to She old
method. 1t gives n farmer plentiful
supply of water for other purposes, and
makes him independent of the powerful
and often grasping water companies. As
a rule, however, the water from these
wells is too cold to be Immediately dis
trihlted over vegetation, and to over
come this u small reservoir must be fig
.ured in with the cost OF the well.
rThe fact that all the wells in the
United States are capable of irrigating no
more hand than is covered by single
large ditch, and that in California, Utah
and Colorado experience has shown that
only u limited amount of water can be
forced out of n single Basin, the old wells
going dry as the new ones are sunk, is
convincing that irrigation by this method
can never be more than of minor i'm
portance. The experiment is SO risky
the cost so great, and the supply so
limited that artesian wells can be called
a success only in those sections where it
is impossible or too costly to obtain
water by canals. The primary purpose
OF sinking such wells should be the sup
ply of farmhouses and towns, and the
surplusage can then be turned to the
suses of irrigation.

SOME YOUNG AUTHORS.


There have been number of success
full authors of late who have complained
that they cannot live by their pens.
A few years ago novel appeared en-
titled .Guerndale.' It was published
over nom de plume, ''J. s. of Dale,
and it was regarded as one of the sue
cessful books of the year. Its author.
Mr.. Stimson, was recent graduate OF
Harvard college, and the success of the
book inspired him with literary ambi-
ton Yet he has practically abandoned
literature, excepting as a by play. and
is making money practicing law.
Robert Grant, another young Boston
litterateur who won some fame, relies
upon the practice of dryer profession
than literature for his support John
Habberton, who made great hit with
.sHelen's Babies, and who writes ex-
ceedingly clever stories, relies upon jour
nalisIn for his support, while literature
| is a side issue with him. Mrs. Burnett
made no money until her play, .sLittle
Lord Fauntleroy," was produced, al
though she had previously written sew
eral very successful novels, and she has
practically abandoned story telling for
the drama.

Morton L. Sherer, of Lincoln, who
has been attending commercial COL
lege in Minneapolis, has so far adj
vanced in his studies as to accept a
position with the New England Fur
niture Co. in that city. The advance
he has made will please his many
friends at home.
Joe Tyson, who with his family left
Garden City about one year ago and
settled in Oregon, returned last week
to this county. He does not give a
very encouraging report of the por-
tion of Oregon where he settled. Soon
after he arrived there he bought a
farm Of 80 acres. There were several
acres in orchard of various kinds of
fruit which bore well, and the crops
paid well, but the climate was not
tirst-class. He and his family suffer
ed more or less from the damp atmos-
phere and fogs. He was compelled to
wear more and thicker under-cloth-
ing than he ever did in Minnesota, to
keep off the rheumatism. This dis
ease seemed to be the prevailing one.
AS to other parts of Oregon he had
nothing to say, but he says he is sat-
istied to get back to Minnesota and
remain here,

THE ST. LOUIS CONFERENCE.

1t is very evident that the calamity.
lite wrote the platform of the St. Louis
platform. His finger marks are every.
where imprinted upon it. The in
strument opens by stating that "We
meet in the midst of nation brought
to the verge of moral, political and
material ruin," and then follows a
'wail of woe" such as is seldom put
forth. To prevent their impending
ruin they propose number of wild
schemes which, if put into practice
would simply increase the troubles
against which they proclaim. They
would make the government a per-
ternalistic affair, and instead of en-
larging the freedom and scope of the
individual, would narrow the path
and tend to make him a slave, not
Intentionally perhaps, but none the
less sure.
\ They stand aghast at the corruption
which they claim infests the political
arena, dominates the ballot box, the
legislatures, the congress, and touch
es even the ermine of the bench, and
then demand that the government
shall operate the railroads, telegraph
and telephone lines, thereby increas-
ing the chances for national corrup-
ton, against which they rail.
If, as they claim, corruption
dominates every department of
the government would it be
eliminated by increasing the spoils
as would be the case by adding there
to the vast railway and TELEGRAM h
system of the country? 1t would
seem more within the realm of COM
mon sense to first cure the alleged
weakness before adding other seeds
of disease to it.
The trouble with the parties who
wrote the ST. Louis platform is, that
in looking out upon the world they
take in but two objects-the million
aire, and the pauper. They fail to
note the great middle class that has
attained a fair degree of prosperity.
They judge the entire country by the
two extremes which is neither fair nor
business-like. They would ruin the
prosperous middle classes for the sake
of wreaking their vengeance upon
those whom they please to dominate
as capitalists. The only remedy they
propose is to issue paper money in
sufficient quantity to be loaned out
among the people at per cent. on
real estate or other security, and the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
1t is needless to say that the remedy
is worse than the alleged disease.

Harter's letter to the old soldiers,

duced from % to 40 per cent. This
pointer thrown out to the thousands
Of pensioners does not stop there, and

A DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR.

THE natural outcome Of the trouble
in Minneapolis with the Sunday sa-
loon question was row last Sunday,
in which one fellow was badly cut up
in one of the saloons and then kicked
out into the street and picked up by
the police. When the new saloon or
dinance was adopted, the intelligence
of Minneapolis was insulted. No one
will deny that with the officers should
rest the enforcement of the laws.
What are officers for if not for this
purpose? But the ordinance in cues
tion was not passed for that purpose.
1t was simply notice served upon
the people to let the saloons alone
and thereby make them and the city
administration less trouble. LastSun-
days eXperiencegoes along way toward
substantiating this. The number of
DRINKS and diSorderlies in the police
courts Monday morning was double
that for any previous Monday for a
month back. But not complaint
against a saloon keeper was made.
The number of DRINKS proved there
were open saloons On Sunday, and it
also proved that the Mayor and his
police did not look after the enforce
ment of the law, which they had TAX
en- upon their shoulders to do. But
unfortunately for the mayor and his
saloon friends, a row occurred, which
brought the farce more plainly to
public notice than would otherwise
have been the case. This necessitated
some show of authority, consequently
the license of the saloon where it oc-
Cured was revoked, but the Mime
apolis papers state that the saloon
keeper in question seems rather pleas
ed than otherwise.
The whole matter is disgrace to a
civilized city. There has been no ap-
parent intention of enforcing the law.
The scheme from the first has been
to quiet the decent element so that
the political plans of the municipal
administration and the saloons will
not be interfered with, and there is
probably no intention of letting the
axe fall where it will do any harm to
the administration. 1t was hoped
that the move made would quiet the
opposition to the wide-open policy. If
the people there can be blinded so
easily then they deserve the fate. that
has overtaken them. But if they are
in earnest in their desire for better
government, they will not quiet down
until they have cleaned the munich
pal garment of the present saloon
sympathizing policy crowd, who for
political power will pander to the
worst elements of society, and put in
their places men who will enforce the
laws without fear or favor.
