The excursion over the w. & n.
B. Il. R., on Saturday to Lake
Mokoma and Satterfield was a grand
success in every detail. The train
of ten coaches reached here at II III.
The cars were packed with people.
1t was estimated that there were
seventy-five in each car, making
seven hundred and fifty in all.
After making brief stop here they
contirued their journey to Satter-
field where they sojourned an hour
or thereabouts. On their return
however, the train stopped at the
tannery depot and all hands got in
line a dozen or so abreast and
marched to the lst ward. The
Hughesville band was among the
gathering and discoursed some good
music on our streets. They sere-
naded their old townsman DR.. Hill,
opposite the Laporte Hotel and in
front of Hotel Kennedy. All ap-
preciated the music and spoke very
nicely of the band. The time of
the excursionists sojourn with us,
was limited to 45 minutes, hence it
took about all their time in walking
TO and from the stations. They got
aboard the cars at the Lake Mokoma
depot at Ais p. NJ, and left for their
homes evidently pleased with the
days outing.

Circumstances Alter Cases.

A medical friend Of mine once accident
ally ran n sharp pointed stick into the cor
ner Of his eye, and knowing Ocularius by
name went to see him, and found large
roomful Of people bent on the same errand
as himself. My friends turn came at last,
and the oculist examined him very carefully,
told him that a certain muscle had been seri-
ously injured and that unless he was very
prudent he might lose his sight. He then
wrote a prescription and handed it to my
friend with the remark that he had better
come again that day week. My friend
then mentioned for the first time that he
was also a medical a although belong
ing to a different branch of the order. The
face of Ocularius became q study, that
worthy gentleman realizing the fact that
he had taken a lot of pains for nothing. :
ooh! ahl indeed! stopl' he exclaimed,
"let me see that paper again" .
Ny friend returned it to the oculist, who
altered it slightly, saying, as he handed it
bach to his visitor: Your accident might
have had serious consequences, but fortu-
nately there has been no great harm done.
You will be all right again in a few days."
My friend thought so, too, and politely
thanked the oculist and wished him GOOD
morning!' Ocularius replied gruf1y, but
made no further alluslon to the proposed
visit that day week.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Los ANGELES, Sept. 3O.-The irriga-
ton congress, which meets Oct. 10, will
no doubt be one Of the most important
conventions that over met in the south
west. In the west the water question is
paramount to the land question, for it
is the water that gives to the land its
value. The congress will discuss the
present systems Of land monopoly and
water monopoly and submit to congress
their views as to the best means Of break
ing them up.
The tendency, especially in California,
is the aggregating Of the land and water
in the hands of u few, and it has become
SO detrimental to the interests of the
state that national aid will be invoked
by asking such legislation that shall
form the entire arid land region into n.y.
geographic districts, with subdivisions
for each natural basin or drainage dis
tricts, with local, state and federal
courts to settle the controversies as to
water rights, lands, timber, %pasturage
and mining lands. Such federal courts
will also settle the question of the di-
vision Of the waters Of a river flowing
into two or more states. The value of
the lands in these respective states de-
ponds upon irrigation, hence it becomes
Q national matter.
The Water Monopoly.
It is estimated that there are 100, 000,-
900 acres of arid lands in the west.
A large proportion Of this is government
land. The water sharks have located
the springs and streams. The govern
ment lands are deprived of their proper
tionate amount of water, and thus be-
come practically valueless. Consequent
ly there is no demand for government
lands in those arid districts from actual
settlers. Under the present laws of con-
gress relative to arid lands a man can
acquire a section Of desert land for q
nominal price provided he will irrigate
it. He a also acquire land under the
homestead, presumption and timber Gull

ture acts, thus getting about two square
miles of land. The man could shen sell
his two square miles of land to his neigh
Dor, who had located an equal amount
of land and the streams that run through
it, and thus become a land monopolist
and a water monopolist. People who
buy land Of him do not get any right to
the water. His title is perpetual, and
they must pay for the water they use,
just as q city water company charges
toll.
region than can be irrigated by the nat
ural streams, the chief value lies not in
the land, but in the water, and the set
Element Of this problem is what will
now confront congress. If a man gets
control of the water, he practically owns
the land through which that water
runs and he can increase or decrease
its value. He can turn the course of a
stream so that his land will get all Of
the benefit of it, and the government
land below him will remain 'high and
dry"
An Ancient System.
A company of promoters can locate
upon adjoining lands, turn a small river
from it's natural channel, and their
ranches become valuable. Those who
locate near them may not bring the
stream back to it's natural channel, for
these spectators have located" the
stream and have thus acquired a per-
petual right under the present system.
In the early settlement of this country
the Spanish land grants in the irrigable
districts were beneficial in that they af-
forded the farming of large tracts. But
as the country became more thickly set
tied the people adopted the irrigating
system of old Spain, which has been in
use in that country since their industrial
history began. They first organized
pueblos, or towns, and the settlement
or district naturally tributary to the
pueblo was organized into an irrigation
municipality. Each pobladore had his
separate lands, but the water belonged
to the municipality. The community
constructed their bitches, elected their
officers, made the own laws. Tho
ownership was perpetual in the munich
pality, thus placing it beyond the power
of individual monopolists and sharks.
Under the Spanish laws a new pueblo
could not be founded within five leagues
of an existing pueblo, SO that there was
plenty of oom for the pueblos and their
irrigation municipalities, and water mo-
nopoly did not exist. No maj nor COM
munity could acquire the ownership of
AL entire river.
Schemes For Relief.
The Pueblo Indians of New Mexico
have the same system and have had from
the highest antiquity. In California,
especially in southern California, there
are numerous colonies who have adopted
the same plan, and the tendency of the
people of this state and of the west is to
divest the land and water monopolists
of their power. and to this end the irri-
eating congress will propose various
schemes for relief to the state and ma
tional legislatures.
The east and south thickly wooded,
blessed with many natural streams and
copious winter rains, little realize tho
value Of water to tho west, which has
only two rivers Of any considerable size,
and where rain is u rare luxury.

last evening. Miss Clara Coleman. who
appears as Mora. is certainly a very
clever little actress, who won the
sympathy Of her audience at once She
sings exceptionally well, and as a dancer
she is a decided success. She was called
before the curtain a number of times
during the performance. Her little
pony and Irish jaunting cart made a
great hit.
Barry O'Neil as Larry, Nora's lover,
was very pleasing. Miss Emma Howard
as Nora's grandmother convulsed the
audience with laughter each time she
appeared. Harry Kingsley, an old
magistrate. was very funny George
