Work has been actiy ely begun on the
dam on sun river at Priests crossing
twelve miles west of Great Falls. The
plans for this project were proposed some
two years ago, but were abandoned for
some reason. Lately the value of the
lands undcr irrigation has become So
apparent that hcsitancy no longer exists
in the minds Of men possessing ample
means to complete the work and It will
be pushed forward rapidly. y crew Of
men is now at work and a few months
Will suffice to make the project a success.
All that portion Of Sun river above
Priests crossing is under water and lis
fertility has been shown bv the large
crops raised successive years. The plan
now about to be perfected consists in
the construction Of a dam which will
furnish power to operate rotary pumps
similar to those IN use at the copper
smeltcr in this city whereby water is
raised to supply the concentration. The
pumps will have a capacity sufficient
to till 81 or 40 inch pipes running
north and south from the dam to res
%ervOirs. from which the water will be
conveyed on the lands to be irrigated 10y
means of bitches. These lands, in places.
now produce good crops. but in an eN
tremely dry season the yield is not Ger
tam. Tit water to be conveyed thereto
renders it possible TO get a large yield
each season. Some 13.0OU or 1900 acres

This would make an average money sacri-
flee on the part of each man of $3.50 for the
privilege of serving his country for three
years. Multiplying this by 100000, we
have the astounding sum of $1,760,000,0 900
actually given the country by the men who
saved its life on the field of battle. That is,
the soldiers really gaze the Nation more money
than the money lenders lent it.
Now mark the difference in the treatment
of these two classes: The bondholders have
been paid back in gold nearly .fue billion dol
lars or more than three times as much as the
gold value of their loans.
The soldiers and their dependent ones
have received in the way of pensions but
81, 100000 900, or hundreds of millions less
than the money they sacrificed to enlist at
their country's call
The men who merely lent few dollars
from their overlooking wealth have received
50, where the men who gaue everything to
their country received but one.
Yet people rail against the size of the
pension expenditures.

The american Farmer.
The Oldest Agricultural Paper in
America.
PRICE REDUCED TO SOC. A YEAR.

THE AMERICAN FARMER-the oldest
agricultural paper in the country, having
been established in 1S19-is now published
at 1929 New York avenue, Washington.
d. G. It's form has been changed to an
eight-page paper, containing Sc columns of
choicest agricultural matter. contributed by
the ablest farming experts in the United
States. No pains or expense are spared to
secure the very best and most practical in
formation on every subject of Importance to
the farmer.
Being published at the National Capital,
it has many facilities for obtaining informa-
ton and knowledge not possessed by papers
elsewhere.
This fact is of much more than usual i'm
portance to the farmers at this time, when
there is SO much going on in Congress that
bears directly upon the prosperity of every
man engaged in tiiling the soil The session
just opened has already begun the discussion
of measures of the greatest interest to all
farmers, and this will be continued through
out The Winter. The AMERICAN FARMER
viii report these fully and impartially, and
every farmer should take the paper to keep
himself properly informed.
The paper appears twice monitor the
LIST and 15th-and is furnished at the low
price of SO cents year, or less than two
cents number. No other paper offers such
large amount of reading matter of the
highest class at such low figure.

wANTON FALsEHOOD.
The Jacksonville Times Union, the lead
ing paper in Florida says:

The Jacksonville Times Union, the lead
ing paper in Florida, says:
When the 53d Congress comes to consider the
question of pension reduction IL is devouty to be
hoped that the Democratic majority will display
the courage OF its convictions No member will
deny that there garing and gigantic abuses
connected with present pension system. There
Is no Democratic member but will admit this and
that 1t will be very difficult. almost impossible, In
fact, for his party to accomplish what it has prom
ised in the way of tariff reduction unless 1t reduces
the pension-list first.
This is the tone of the papers generally
of the South, though it is rare that they
make their expressions SO moderate. When
the Times Union says that there "are glazing
and gigantic abuses" it simply states what
is untrue, for the purpose of making basis
for an attack upon the pension system.
During two Congresses, now, committees
of the House of Representatives, headed by
men who are bitterly opposed to the Ad-
ministration, have sought far and wide for
evidence against the management of the
Pension Bureau. Both these Investigations
have lasted for months and taken the widest
range Everyone who it was thought knew
anything to the disadvantage of the Pension
Bureau was hunted up, brought before the
committee and encouraged to tell all that
he knew Rarely was there ever known in
Washington such q raking around among
bar-room chatter and street-corner gossip.
YET though both these investigations were
made in The face of active campai gns, when
there was the strongest need of making
political capital, there was absolutely moth
| ing developed
In the face of this well-known fact it is
| particularly brazen for papers like the Times
| Union to make such reckless charges.

THE CHOLERA NEXT YEAR.

There is an appalling unanimity of opinion
among physicians of the great seaboard cities
that there will be q general outbreak of
cholera in Europe next year, and that twill
visit this country unless there are the most
stringent measures taken to prevent it.
With but few exceptions they urge that all
immigration be suspended for one year, or
until the danger is past. The exceptions
who oppose the suspension of immigration,
urge that q rigid system of disinfection of
all immigrants be followed before these are
allowed to take ship. The expense and time
involved in this would be almost prohibit
tory ON would-be immigrants.
With these precautions, which we believe
Congress will not fail to take, the dread dis
ease will not be allowed to gain foothold
in this country.
The cholera is one of the most controllable
diseases known. 1t is pre-eminently a
" filth disease" and can only spread rapidly
under dsgustingly-flthy conditions. The
cleaner man or woman is in person and
habits the less the liability to disease. Drink
ing water is the great carrier of the disease,
and the most danger of its becoming an
epidemic in this country comes from the use
of water from rivers and wells which are
contaminated with sewage. This will
make the mining and manufacturing vii
lagos peculiarly liable to it, as they are now
liable to typhoid and other epidemies of
intestinal diseases, On account of their use
of water from creeks and wells into which
sewage flows.
The best preparation against the scourge
is absolute cleanliness of person and prem
Uses, careful examination of the source
whence drinking-water is obtained, and care
to use no water but what has been recently
boiled, where there is the least suspicion as
to its purity,

THE Anthropological Society wrestled
with the Spelling Reform question in Wash
ington last week Prof. F. A. March, of
Lafayette College, Pennsylvania, led the
reformers, and A. r. Spofford, Congressional
Librarian, the ants. Mr.. Spofford's argu-
ment was based ON the stupid old etymo-
logical idea.
"The present system of spelling may be
bad" said MI. Spofford, but bad as it is, it
is the key to the grand old English Ian
guage, which no system of phonetic spell
ing ever can be-"
As a rule, not one man in million is in
terested in etymology. Mr. Spofford would
have 99,999 500 men and women 60 on
spending years in endeavoring to learn to
spell, and in writing a vast amount of use
less letters in verything that they do
write, in order to tickle this one mans
whims as to the derivation of certain words.
The 100000 900 who use the English Ian
guage must 90 on forever writing though"

EXAMPLE, with three perfectly useless letters
in each, Just because some centuries ago that
way of spelling was started by some semi
