In the third district fusion has been
abandoned. There is no attempt, even
on the part of democracy, to head of
Clover, and bis nomination, SO far as il
pertains to a democratic successor, has
been abandoned by the democrats
There was, however, till Sunday, hope
that there would be fusion in the second
district, but the action of the alliance
convention, in Douglas county, Saturday,
nailed that hope fairly and squarely to
the cross. The alliance in Douglas coun-
ty is composed of a lot of ex-republicans
and long-headed democrats, who are
"agin" anything that savors Of republl-
canism. Before the alliance was
organized first mortgage on this crowd
was ON file in the court house at Lawrence
and was held by Colonel II. L. Moore.
But it appears that since joining the
alliance these people have repudiated the
obligation and refuse to recognize Colonel
Moore. City Tournrl.

Fr.c,.fytns Land.

Irrigation is rapidly increasing the
productive acreage of land in the United
States, but there get remains and will
remain for many years to come vast
tracts of barren territory According
to an interesting article on this subject
in Fire and Water our total area Is
about 100000 square miles Take
away the surface of the lakes and there
would remain land area Of 2,295. .0O0.-
600 acres. If tie whole were divided
among our present people every family
in the Unite! States would have more
than lc0-acre farm A large part Of
the best lands have already been taken
up by settlers. but in the far future the
great deserts of Colorado. Arizona. New
Mexico aad other western states will be
brought Under cultivation.
Irrigation is being carried on by va
rfous methods. One plaa is by boring
artesian wells. the success of which de-
pends on the volume of water flowing
from them Another is the construc-
ton of large reservoirs in which the
surplus Of water that falls during the
rainy season may be stored. and in dry
weather conducted over the land in
bitches. At some points. where great
natural basins may be utilized. these
reservoirs can be provided at a moder-
ate outlay; in other cases the expense
would be large. In many instances
mountain streams, fed by springs, have
been diverted into artificial channels
and carried over considerable tracts of
land.
California has taken the lead In irri.
CATION. In that state it pays. Large
areas which in their arid condition
could not be sold for more than from 81
to s. an acre. have been made so pro-
ductive that they are worth from 5000
to $1,000 per acre. Irrigation has added
millions upon millions to the wealth of
California. In many places complete
water-woriss establishments owned by
corporations are supplying water for ir-
rigation at cost of from sl.25 to s1.5O
per acre for the season. This is not a
great cost for orchards, vineyards and
grain lands,and farmers are getting rich
through the help of the system. The
irrigated lands of California are estima-
ted at 3,500,00O acres. Irrigation has
cost SIC, 100000. and has increased the
value of the land $500, ,ooo.0
These figures show that agriculture
may be regarded as still almost in it's
infancy in a large section of the coun-
try. and especially in the states and
territories beyond the Mississippi. Ir-
rigation will yet bring every tillable
acre under cultivation. and when the
favorite lands are exhausted the noun
tain sides will be climbed, the morasses
drained and sandy plains fertilized.
The draining of the everglades Of Flor
ida and their Transformation into rich
sugar plantations and orchards of trop-
cal fruit afford an instance of what can
be done by genius. energy and capital
Twenty generations hence the full ca
pacity of this great country for the sup
port of man will not yet be put to its
utmost test

WE stand in the vestibule. We have
not yet entered the temple. When the
first furrow was broken on the prairies of
Illinois there was not an iron ploughshare
in the world. Men arc yet living who
might have seen the first steamboat on
western waters. on her triai-tfip from
Pittsburg in 1911, and who were in active
life when the first passenger rode in q
railway train and the first telegraphic
dispatch was sent. The early settlers of
Missouri had to depend on flint and tin
der for fire. Most of the inventions in
machinery, nearly all the appliances for
comfort and convenience, we're unknown
to the pioneers OF the west. Their victor
les were won with few of the methods and
devices now regarded as indispensable
10 even the humblest walks of life.
When its agricultural, mining and manu-
faeturing resources are fully developed by
steam and electricity, the Mississippi
valley will support and enrich, without
cfowding, five hundred million people,
and be not only the granary, but the
woekshop, OF the planet-:7ohm :. ingalls,.

Although the fall scarcity of wat
er and grass, made it hard for
stock. San Saba county pastured
not only her own stock but lots
from other counties, this speaks
well of our county as a stock coun-
ty. Aud althoug the low prices on
cotton cut the farmers profits short.
Yet they about all sold enough cot
ton, corn, wheat and oats to square
up with handsome reverse on
hand. This speaks wells of San
Saba county as farming county.
And although many large banks
have closed and business houses
busted, yet the business houses of
San Saba county have increased in
number and capacity. This speaks
well of San Saba county in a bust
ness point of view. And although
times are hard, money scarce, San
Saba county has built two iron
bridges, and paid the scalp bounty
and yet every script is Immediate
ly cashed at face value. This
speaks well of the financial condi-
ton of our county. Great is San
Saba county.
