ARTESIAN WELLS.
They Are Too Expensive Where Other
Means Are Available.

They Are Too Expensive Where Other
Means Are Available.
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 $3.50 wells
were employed in irrigation, watering
81 1856 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 2,o24-
Colorado had $50, Texas 534, South
Dakota 527, and North Dakota 46l. We
find Idaho credited with %, Washington
8 and Oregon 8. Those in Idaho were
divided between Oneida and Bingham
Counties. Washington's 9 are i'll Whit
man County, excepting one in Spokane.
Oregon's wells are distributed among
Crook, Gillian, Harvey and Wasco
Counties.
The conclusion derived from the data
gathered by the census is that irrigation
by artesian wells should not be attempted
where other means are available. The
average cost of irrigating an acre of land
with arteSian water IS SIS IS, in compar-
ison with s. 10 by the ordinary methods.
In MANY instances. however, the artesiau
we'll is superior and cheaper to the Old
method. II gives farmer a plentiful
supply of water for other purposes, and
makes him independent of the powerful
and too often grasping water companies.
AS a rule, however, the water from these
wells is too cold TO be immediately dis
tributed over vegetation, and to over
come this a small reservoir must be
figured IN with the cost of the well
The fact that the wells in the United
States are capable of irrigating no more
land than is covered by a single large
ditch, and that III California, Utah and
Colorado experience has shown that only
limited amount of water can be forced
of a Sinrrla lto Gin tho old wells U0lIQ
dry as the new ones are sunk, is convinc-
ing that irrigation by this method can
never be more than Of minor importance.
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. Tho
primary purpose of sinking such wells
should be the supply of farmhouses and
towns. and the surplusage can then be
turned to the uses of irregation.-Ore-

Talk of a Road From New York to
San Francisco.
DETROIT tMich.), Sept. 1S.-William
Dallin of Chicago, Vice-President and
General Manager of the Atlantic and Pa
cific Construction Company, in this city
temporarily, gives an interesting account
of an airline railroad to be built between
New York and San Francisco, which VIII
be shortening of the distance of over
500 miles, and proportionate saving
Of time. In the interview be had the
following to say on the subject: Ever
since October last have been at work
pertecting the plans of the company.
Preliminary surveys have been made
and charters secured in Illinois, Ohio and
Pennsylvania, in addition to work al
ready done in Indiana. We are now en-
gagged in surveying route through New
Jersey.
1.-THE work of grading for the roadbed
and laying Of rails will commence in
1898, and the entire road Will be COM
pleted and in operation in the year 1901.
| The cost of the division from New York
| to Chicago will be 500, 000. 900 and of the
San Francisco end 500, 100000. This in
| cludes everything. We will be thorough
! III our work in the various States and
! will secure right Of way extending
! twenty miles on each side OF the road.
| When we come to river we Will bridge
| it and if we cannot go over mountain
we Will bore through it, no matter how
long it may be.
'Our main line will run within few
miles of Chicago, and within fourteen
miles of Cleveland. Instead of turning
out to take in cities we will build spur
! of tracks to connect them with the main
line. The cities will come TO us. We
calculate that our road will pay for itself
inside of six years. We will look for all
through and local business between New
York and San Francisco, and we will
get it without doubt when the roads are
completed. l figure that dividend OF 5
per cent. per year or SI5,G00,O0O will be
declared. We will establish 100000
plant at Benton Harbor, Mich, and there
we will build engines, freight and pas
senger cars; make rails, and, in fact,
everything used in the construction and
operation Of the road.'
The road will be built with English
capital, so Dallin declares

CAMP Low On. j., Sept. 1S.-The I'M
fortunate Storage passengers of the
steamers Normannia and Rugia were
landed here to-day. No sooner were the
passengers landed than General Uamil-
ton, on hearing that they had had nothing
to eat to-day, ordered dinner served to
them. That the poor immigrants were
hungry was evidenced by the rush they
made for food. The women and children
were looked after by the corps of women
attendants. Nearly ali the passengers

inatiou of the body. BY order of the
Mayor the body was wrapped in anti
septic blankets and deposited in six
foot grave. y guard was placed at the
pest-house where Carr died, because of
threats to burn it. Tomorrow six in

pear that the cholera specter is now
safely defeated. The Rugia will discharge

opecIdl 10 the RECORD-UNTON.
LONDON, Sept. lS.-Commercial and
financial circles are disturbed over the
present state of affairs. The run on the
Blrkbeck Bank created almost a panic
among small depositors, and caused much,
uneaslness generally in financial circles
lest other concerns might suffer. The out
look for the future is not very encourage
ing. The country is strewn with the
wrecks of building societies. which are
largely the depositors of the poorer
classes. Everybody in England puts by
something of his or her earnings, and
building societies offer the best return for
investments. People who look seriously
at this subject must come to the concur
sion that these wrecks are only the fore
runners of more disasters.
No one can tell what might have oc-
Cured if the Bank of England had not
so promptly come to the succor of the
Birkbeck Bank with 95O0,OOO. This
nancy remains untouched in the safes of
the Birkbeck Bank, and the directors
report shows that there is more money
than is necessary to satisfy the demands,
yet the mere fact that the Bank of Eng
land gave 1t practical and moral support
was the only thing that averted similar
SenseleSs runs on other banks.
Added to this feeling of uneasiness come
reports Of distress in the midland coun-
ties. Whole families of cotton-spinners
are walking the streets without food or
shelter. At Wocclesfeld and the sur
rounding districts the silk weavers and
dyers are the chief sufferers from hard
ships resulting from strikes and reduced
wages.
LaRd and Water says that the financial
crisis which first found serious express
sion in the Barring collapse is becoming
more acute. The situation, it adds, has
been rendered worse by the artificial eff
forts made during the last two years to
postpone the inevitable result. Within
the last twenty-four hours seven clubs in
the West End have definitely closed, sew
eral London journals are on the verge of
disaster, five of the largest and most inl-
pOrtant estates in England are shortly to
be sold, several commercial firms hitherto
OF good reputation are now distrustel,
and a number of well-known men, PROM
inent as society entertainers, are vanish
ing.
