RIGHT. AGE TO FATTEN STEERS.

Few three year old steers are now
fed and no four year olds. The great
bulk of feeding steers grown on farms
are now what are known as two's past,
or about thirty months old, when put
in lots, and from thirty four to thirty
six months old when sold. Not a few
yearlings now go into the lots, and
quite a percentage of calves which go
to market fatten at a year old. Farm
ers are becoming familiar with the law
Of growth, that the older and larger
the animal the greater per cent. of food
required for support, and hence less is
available for increase. If the farmer
has a fine bunch of yearling past steers
in the fall, and corn enough to fatten
them, worth fifty cents a bushel on the
farm, and also a great abundance OF
hay, cornstalks and winter and sum
mer pasture, he may wisely hesitate az
to whether it is not better for him to
sell his corn and carry his steers thro'

The Populist party is evidently
in danger of disintegration Mrs.
LEASE says the management is cor.

rupter, and together they propose
to organize a new faction out of the
debris. Another Populis. says
that too many cranks have joined
the party and level headed men
will not submit to their dictum.
The last fact is probably the most
potent. Setting aside the personnel,
there are other reasons why the
party does not prosper. On a sim

an account of which appeared last
week. G.. F. Croker said.
The policy ofthe company in the
future would be to dispose of the

terms as would induce settlers to
take advantage of the offers made.
The land will be cut up in forty
acre tracts, with water rights at

600 cattle were driven across it in
one continuous drove and it is said
that the cattle were so close to-
gether that hardly another animal
could have gotten on the bridge,
yet it gave not the slightest sign of
weakness in a single place. This
was not intended as a test of
strength but there certainly could
not have been Il more satisfactory
demonstration of its strength. w.
F. Nardwell who was here when
the old bridge was constructed says
he has not made critical examin-
alton of the new bridge but if gen.

selves greatly, it is durable and
substantial structure. Nerve Gill
who lives right at the north end of
the bridge and has carefully
watched it's construction from the
beginning says that it was put to-
gether in a substantial and work.
manlike manner. J. Nj. Martin
and many other substantial citi-
zens of this community verify the
opinion Of Mr.. Gill, and the Index
believes the contractor, B. R. L.

excellent reputation as a bridge

SENTIMENT ADVANCING.

Governor MCCONNELL has clearly

question and will recon mend to the
next legislature such legislation as
will tend to ultimately vest owner.
ship of water and waterways in the
| people who till the soil. The aim
| of the TRIBUNE has been to thor
oughly impress on the minds
of the people the fundamental
principle that seperate ownership
in land and water is inimicable to
the prosperity of the Grid regions.
That idea has advanced with graft
flying rapidity during the last four
months and it is safe to say that
outside of the canal companies
there is no sentiment in favor of
the system which at present pre-
walls in the great Snake river
valley. Such law should be en-
acted as will do ample justice to
the projectors Of private irrigating
enterprises. They are not to be
regarded as public enemies to be
DESTROYED by am means. The
majority of them went into those
enterprises without full realiza-
ton Of consequences. They looked
upon an irrigation canal as a
scheme for money making and,
incidentally, general benefcence.
The money put into those canals
should be returned to the investors
with fair interest; the men who
engineered the schemes should re-
ceive fair compensation and the
people should get the canals. If
terms can not be made with pres
ent canal owners, then the state
must construct it's own canals.
We believe the matter can be ar.
ranged without serious difficulty.
The canal people are already be-
ginning to realize that the business
is not what they expected it would
be. As the days 60 by, interest
accumulates and the anticipated
revenue does not materialize. In
other words, the canal companies
have panned almost to bed rock
and haven't struck the pay streak
yet. Speculative irrigation is

HAVE DONE SOME ooob.

! Recent reversals attending the
Peoples party nave disclosed the
inherent weakness of the organiza-
ton. 1t was made up largely of
summer patriots. Hundreds OF
men who were leaning radically
towards Populisiic ideas, have sud-
denly Strengthened up and now,
lest suspicion attact, incline pal
pably in the opposite direction.
This is what politicians call the
oscillating vote and it moves with
commendable energy. 1t is curious
how few thousand votes effect
the consciences of men. 1t also
transpires that those who came
nearest to embracing Populistic
ideas are now most vehement in
their denunciation of the party,
and not only condemn its princi-
Piles, but mercilessly execrate it's
adherents. 1t might be well
enough to bear in mind. that the
Populist party is quite as worthy
today as it was last August or Sep
TENDER, and it might yet develop
a vigor altogether out of proportion
to appearances. Nationally, the
party has received a blow from
which it will never recover, but
locally, it has considerable vitality.
At present, however, its prospects
are beclouded on every hand, but
that is not a consideration for truly
honest and patriotic men. The
very fact of the Peoples party is
evidence Of a greater fact, viz:
wrongs exist which demand correc.
ton. The Peoples party have in.
dicated those wrongs even if they |
have failed to supply the remedy. !

retard and interrupt development"
At the time of writing the above.
we had not had much opportunity
to investigate the system of irriga-
ton in vogue in this section of the
arid region and based our conclu.
sion on the broad proposition that
tenantry 1--WE use the term as COM
monty understood) in any form is
vicious and Improbable. The un-
determined question in our mind
has been whether or not the renter
Of water became a tenant in fact.
Whatever doubts we may have had
on that point have been removed.
The express purpose of the canal
operators, or waterlords, as now
developed, is to establish perpet-
ual tenantry and by trick, so to
speak, the renter of water Is con
verted into a tenant on his own
homestead. In order to secure
water. the farmer enters into con.
tract with the waterford by which
he engages to take a certain
amount of water annually. In
consideration of which the water
lord, demands (irst) lump sum
Of money, at date; second, certain
amount of money annually, and,
third, pledge, secured by mort
gage on the farmers premises,
that the said annual payment shall
be made regularly and forever.
Therefore, the farmer who rents
water becomes, in fact, the leaser
If his own farm which he forfeits
lpon failure to meet the yearly
'ental. In our opinion this settles
he doubt, and every renter of
water is just as thoroughly ten
mt as the most abject feudatory
'asaal. There is no provision with
n the scope of the contract where
" the renter may ever become the
'wner Of his own farm, in fee simple,
because the waterford will not sell
lin the water outright, and with
nut water there can be no farm.
The only remaining question to be
is whether or not ten
lntry conduces to the prosperity of
The TRIBUNE takes this

ions, be advantageous, but as
