A Good Scheme.

EDITOR PREss:-I read daily about
the thousands of unemployed, and
what the cities are to do with them.
l will tell you my plan. Congress
votes millions for this and that; let
it vote fifty million dollars to %colonize
some of the good, honest working
men and settle them on IL prairies.
l would have the government give to
each settley hundred and sixty
acres of land, a comfortable house,
team, wagon, COW and IL years pro-
visions for his family,-give him Il
chance to succeed. At the end of five
years, let him prove up on his land;
and have it arranged so that, if he
left his claim before the end of five
years, he would have nothing Of the
government gift, save, of course, the
provisions. l would have Il Congress.
sional scommittee to pass upon all ap.
plicants and send out only sober, in.
dustrious men anxious to make Il liv-
ing for their families. OF course.
there would be some failures, but l
think in the main the scheme would
prove a success. A man works better
for himself than for another. and
thousands, dependent upon Eastern
manufactures, would he moro than
glad to be able to get a home on our
broad prairies, where the soil is rich,
coal to be had almost everywhere for
the digging and the air pure and
healthful. Fifty million dollars
would bring to North Dakota, and
settle Is l suggest, twenty-five thou
sand families. Nor would such a
movement help alone those given
homes. The money would be put in
circulation; it would go to railroads
for transportation, to lumber dealers,
provision merchants. machinery deal.
ers, etc. AS these twenty-five thou.
sand families got a start, they would
be buying machinery, and the neces.
stiles and comforts of life; would
be building towns and thus bringing
into the country more mechanics and
artisans; would be shipping out stock,
gram, ETC., increasing railroad traffic.
In short, thousands of discouraged
men would become prosperous land
owners; valuable land now idle would
be developed. money put in circula-
ton and used to some purpose. The
Government is doing more than this
for the Indians; let it do something
for unemployed white men.

A Large Spring.

EDITOR PRESS For more reasons
than II l would like to mention
through your paper the fact that l
have struck a very large spring on my
claim, capable, l am told on excellent
authority, of watering up to one hun
dred head of cattle.
Some time ago l invited Mr.. ID.
Roberts to come out and see if he
could demonstrate the theory Of his
willow, ETC., an any part of the land
near my house. From q scientific
standpoint l am a believer in his
theory. but l did not think it would
turn out SO completely successful;
there are, however, scientific data for
the immediate connection between
electricity and water as conductors.
and perhaps some of your readers
would enlighten us more OH this point
than | can. l think Mr.. Roberts
ought to tell us in how many cases he
has been successful. If his theory
can be scientifically demonstrated, his
work ought to be thoroughly venti-
lated; and l write this to give my ex-
pfc r ience. Very rarely
can anyone do what he does because
of the wide and varied difference of
the quantity OF electricity in the hu.
man body. After having dug the well
some thirteen feet with the aid of my
little boy and Mr.. Roberts, and Mi.
Chase digging some two or three feet
more, Mr.. Simons finished the re-
mainder-some thirty-thres feet in
all, and pronounced it one of the finest
springs he had eve struck. Mr.. ST.
mons work was ex%cellently done.
l may add that l found two other
springs on my claim, one in the direct
line which Mr.. Roberts. in his exami.
nation, pointed out, and the other ac-
cidentally when l WAS looking for coal
which | have also discovered.
