What He Feared.

'Nhile in England" says one WON.
an, II was told Of an American, who,
on his first trip on an English railway,
quite held his breath at the rapid
running. When his nervousness rather
.overcame him he approached the
guard.
II say, guard he ventured, ''this is
pretty fast travelling for safety, isn't
it?''
"Oh, no, SIR replied the guard, 1--WE

Dark blue serge is still the most popu-

both town and country will soon be
broken out. The Elton Jackets OF this
season are elaborated in various ways
In some cases the revers are plated
SO as to form rufHes. In others the
jacket is lined with a gray silk, which
extends out over the revers of the
collar. Often the points of the jacket
in front are elongated and tiny pocll
cts are set in. Some of the most styl-
ish suits have a perfectly fiat piping of
black satin, stitched in rows around
the skirt and on the revers. These
suits, in a fine quality of cloth, may be
bought ready made 1or $29.5O. Other
suits range from the cheap flannels at

A HOWL FOR OFFICE.
Fat Government Jobs which Good
Republicans Continue to Hold

There is a very general complaint in
Washington of the unusual delay in APP
pointments of Democrats to positions
under the various executive departments.
This is especially true with regard to the
postot1ice department., where Demo cratic
recommendation are treated with par
ticular Indifference, says a Democratic
journal.
There are more than $4,000 fourth-class
postofices, that Is offices whose compen-
sation is less than $1,000 year. There
is no fixed period of service for these
places. The statute expressly provides
that they shall be changed at the will of
the postmaster general.
The chief postot1ice inspector, who has
100 men under him, has not been changed,
and the division chiefs at Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Helena,
Denver ana San Francisco are still Re-
publicans. In postoffices like New York,
st. Louis, Chicago and Philadelphia there
are scores of lucrative positions which
are exempt from the civil service rules
where Democrats could be appointed.
Many Democrats have ceased to wonder
why they can not be heard before the
postoffice department and they are in the
state of mind which could best be styled
fatigue, if not downright disgust.

IRRIGATION FROM WELLS.

Tho A., 7. g. S. F. railroad is backing
the Menge Pump company in scheme
to irrigate land in western Arizona, in
volv1ng lift of water, through series
of twenty pumps, Of 1000 feet. 1t is
guaranteed as a paying investment. At
White Oaks water is now lifted 265 feet
from negative artesian well, and daily
supply of $4,000 gallons is obtained.
This is sufficient for the economical irri-
CATION of twenty acres.
Now let us apply these facts to our
selves. On the Santa Fe plains, as also
at othor New Mexico points, there are
large tracts with abundance of water at
from five to twenty feet. The modern
steam exhaust cup valve pumps will raise
cubic foot of water per second at less
cost than 81 per day, and the plant itself
does not cost over $500. A cubic foot of
water will lrrigate from 100 to 200 acres
Why does not some enterprising citizen
get himself a good independent water
right and make fortune? 1t can be
done. The land and water are here. What
is lacking is brains and very little
money.

anniversary for that city. 1t marked the
date in 1871 when the city was LAID in
ashes. The authorities wisely determined
to dispel the gloomy recollections by
making it the concentrating date of the
greatest event in the worlds history. In
1871 Kansas was the frontier; irrigation
was almost unknown, not more than
1000 acres outside of Utah and New Mex
leo being cultivated. California and
Nevada had established themselves as
states, but between them and the older
civilization lay path more terrible than
that of Columbus across the Atlantic.
Twenty-Five years have gone. The
"Frontier" is obllterated. Ten million
acres of verdure smile under irrigation.
Fifteen new commonwealth have been
developed. Railroads by the dozen unite
the states with bonds of steel; and to
crown all the greatest western, enterprise
ever attempted has been brought to a sue
cessful finish. No exposition in the pre-
vious history of the world has been n
financial success. They have all been
beggars except this.

DOES 1T PAY?

The answer to the question as to
whether irrigation pays depends on the
farmer himself and on no other factor,
If his waterright has been properly Sc
lected, which is part of the personal
equation of irrigation, and the farmer is
attentive to details he can not help but
make good profits. If he be lazy or in
attentive to minutia his profits are re-
duced in direct ratio. No farmer can
afford to risk his years work to haphazard
methods. Almost perpetual sunshine,
water and attention will mature any crop
in the arid region. The fact that the far
west has raised the national average of
cereal production by several points is the
best answer to the croakers who do not
think scientific farming pays. The aver
age of yield and the quality of crop have
both been improved. The prices paid
in the west are far in excess of eastern
prices.

phe Statehood Status.

A private letter from Delegate Joseph
has been seen by an Optic scribe, in
which Mr.. Joseph says that he thinks
that his bill for the admission of New
Mexico will be brought up before the
committee on territories this week, and
that it will be recommended substantially
as he presented it,
He has laid before the committee the
amendments passed by the Albuquerque
statehood convention, during the fair,
but he does not think the committee will
embody them in their report. Mr..
Joseph does not say so, but the fact is
that the Democratic majority in congress
are not altogether assured of the sound
ness of New Mexico's Democracy; and
very plainly, they are DESTROYS to see how
the political cat will jump at the next
election, before they determine to let the
territory come in.-Las Vegas Optic.
