CARENCRO WILL BE IN 1T.
The Lake Charles Commercial,
in its last issue, publishes the char
ter of the Teche Railroad and Su-
gar Company.
The purposes of this company
are declared to be, in part, to build
and operate railroad starting from
the Huron refinery, on Bayou
Teche, and to further extend it in
. southerly or southwesterly direc-
zion to some point on the Louisiana
Western railroad should it be deemed
expedient.
Under clause of the same char
Ser the company, among other manu-
featuring industries, will especially
carry on the business of operating
sugar mills, refineries, etc.
This Is the projected railroad that

sincerity, and no doubt the parties
seeking the information asked, are
willing. to invest their money in the
venture.
An ice factory here would have
a large territory to supply, and the
demand would be sufficient to en-
sure fair profit on the investment.
That it would be the means to
the establishment of other enter
prises must be conceded. Just
think, it would furnish us with steam
power, and with that assured sys-
tenn of electric lights becomes a
strong probability; it would give us
plentiful supply of water, and with
water within easy access, fire de-
partment Immediately results, and,
again, we could have at once that
street sprinkler, and many other
shings not necessary to enumerate
here. So 1T viii be readily seen that

dance in which even George Washing
ton found much delight. If, however,
the new governor for unknown reasons
should not appear in the terplschorean
revels suspicious OF astrictly Puritanical
administration would follow and this,
we take it, would never be popular in
Montana. We therefore advise him to

the time arrives for action.

crata to be deliberately planning to raise
the tar On distilled spirits from 80 cents to
$1.25 gallon. whom the party has been

The democratic party has advocated a

this purpose to cut down the tax on
clothing and other necessities and keep
up the revenue by raising the tax on
whisky. That is the policy, briefly

lake basins and thick forest growth
makes a combination unequalled any.
where on earth.
This tract, withdrawn primarily as a
measure of protection to natural won
ders, will have an influence on tho future
Of the agricultural valley impossible
now to be realized by the most farsee-
ing.
Official and reliable reports place the
length of the Nile basin at $50 miles,
with an arabic breadth no where exceed
ing nine miles except at the delta, where
it expands fan-like to a width OF 100
miles. The acreage under cultivation is
about 100000, but much OF it is do
flciently covered, and other sections be-
come soured and unfruitful by bad
drainage, making a considerable reduc-
ton for profitable operations.
The great disadvantages of the Nile
valley us compared with the Yellow
stone are that in the former a complete
system OF drainage is required, as well
as the irrigation, in addition to which
an annual expenditure Of 100000 is
required to dredge and otherwise dis
pose of the deposit Of silt carried down
by the river to choke up the various
channels OF distribution.
The value Of land ranges from $50 to
$3.50 per acre and annual rents from 50
cents to $50. The population is about
100000, Of which 100000 are agrioul-
tural laborers, upon whose industry the
balance subsist. The yearly exports
vary, but may be put as an average at
about s75,OOO,O0O. The national deb Of
the country is S55o,O00,oOo, with interest
promptly paid. The nation maintains
quite an extensive army and navy with
q governing class both numerous and
costly. The largest city, Cairo, has a
population approaching half a million.
Except IN the delta, water for irrigation
must be lifted from the river bed by
manual labor aided by rude appliances,
and cultivation of the soil is carried on
in the name in vogue centuries ago.
The principal crops are wheat, cotton,
beans and Glover in rotation. On both
sides of the Nile valley the sands Of the
desert reign supreme.
Comparison of the conditions and re-
suits carry conviction that the Yellow
stone valley and it's tributaries properly
served will afford sustenance to a popu-
lation largely exceeding that now in
habiting the state Of New York. There
would be room for at least four cities
with a population each Of 100000 people
and numerous smaller points of dis
tribution.
With the ground kept in a condition
Of saturation by irrigation there would
eventually be such climatic changes by
increase OF rainfall that the canals will
have merely a subsidiary office.
The feeling is general that the legis-
lature at this session should adopt
to insure the immediate i'm
provement of the Yellowstone and other
in this state. A law which will
not do it is not wanted.

The NILE AND THE YELLOWSTONE.

The NILE AND THE YELLOWSTONE.
Irrigation of the soil has prevailed to
a limited extent in Utah, California and
Colorado and the inhabitants there have
become in q Measure impressed with it's
value.
For educational purposes the at
tempts at diversion of the running
waters IL Montana are really a damage,
because the results are so unsatisfac-
tory as to dwarf the ideas Of the popula-
ton in regard to the full scope of the
plan. The small individual and part
nership bitches, provocative only of the
midsummer squabble over the scanty
supply furnished, exist in many minds
as the standard of excellence, and when
the subject of irrigation is raised for
discussion they revert at one to the
dlsappointments of the past. They can
form no proper conception of what good
Il complete system will accomplish.
The valley of the Nile is generally re-
garded as pre-eminently the best Q
ample of an irrigated agricultural coun-
