The older readers of the FREE PRESS will
readily recall the Biographies i'll which no
small portion of our vast territory west of
the Mississippi was designated on the map
as "The Great American Desert, . it being
supposed at that time to be wholly beyond
the possibility OF being reclaimed and de
voted to profitable agriculture To-day,
however the American traveller who spins
through the great region thus designated III
a palace car and beholds Oh every hand the
evidences Of IA rich soil and abundant har-
vests can not help wondering where the
Great plains are, about which we have
heard 50 much.
\ considerable share Of this alleged desert
never existed, of course except in the vivid
and fertile inaginations of the map-makers,
ard irrigation has largely removed the indi-
cations Of an unproductive soil in the re
mainder Experience has abuudantly de-
monstrated that the section thus termed a
desert includes some OF the most fertile land
in the whole country, the one single draw
back to the prosperity and agricultural
eminence Of the region being simply lack of
rainfall At one time this would have been
regarded as an insurmountabe obstacle to
the profitable cultivation of land in this part
of the country, but the scientific progress
which has made ourpresent age pre- eminent,
has found a comparatively easy solution Of
the problem in irrigation
1t is true that in spite of the certainty
that irrigation is the one thing needful to
land in the section referred to- farmers in

| ed to take advantage of this means of water
| ing the earth, owing to the immense expense
| involy ed, and aS a consequence there are not
n few sections in that region which are
still nproductve The soil and the climate
are all that could be possibly desired but
moisture SO necessary for plant life is lack
| ing
When the recent rain making expert
ments were begun, the people of the rainless
region thought that possibly long and Sc
verely felt want with them was about to be
supplied, and when the rain wizards pro
claimed to the world that their efforts had
been crowned with partial success it SEEM
ed to these people that sure relief was at
hand. All sorts Of ludicrous stories about
these experiments We're told and it was not
| until IA considerable time after the expert
ments had been abandoned that they could
be persuaded to give up their cherished
hopes of thus securing an easy substitute fol
! rain.
When the failure Of the rain producing
experiments was entirely established, resi-
dents Of the rainless territory began at one,
to give new attention to irrigation, and ac
cording to advices from that section the,
are making encouraging progress Conven
tions have been held to determine upon
the most desirable plans of irrigation il

vorable for it, seems to be the canal sys'
tom.
Bv the use of canals, now, water is carried
from the mountains or in more level colln-
try from rivers or lakes and distributed in
those districts where moisture is needed
On many portions of the Western prairie
lands however, a system of this kind Is I'M
practicable, owing Go the existence of high
table lands TO which rivers do not penetrate
That the canal scheme has been of vast
benefit to the region, however, can he seen
from the fact that in Scots Bluff county
Nebraska, there is a canal from the Platte
river which is 300 miles long and which
irrigatcs l3S. 600 acres of land. Other large
areps are irrigated in II like manner and
with most gratifying results.
For such sections as are too high or too
level to use the canal system two methods of
irrigation have been proposed for general
use, artesiau wells and immense storage res
crvoirs. Wells have been tried, but they
are expensive and do not give the best of
satisfaction: and there seems to be no little
sentiment, Judging from what we can learn
| about it, in favor of the reservoir system.
| The idea is to utilize water from the melting
SHOWS and spring rains for use in summer,
and we understand that an effort is to be
made to induce Congress to make an appro-
priation for the purpose of determining
whether or not this plan is perfectly feas-
lille.
To the uninitatcd the artesian well sys-
TEN Of irrigation would seem to be the more
feasible of the two plans named in cases
| where the canal scheme is out Of the ques-
ton Evaporation would he no small fac
tor in the reservoir problem ana it is doubt
full if the idea would be found practicable.
1t is encouraging to note, however, that this
| is but one among several ways III which
water can be conveyed to land where there
is no rain fall, and it is safe to predict that
irrigation in some form will soon wash out
all traces of the late ''Great American
| Desert -

[From the Bangor Whig and Courier
Last year on the Aroostook river and its
tributaries the log cut amounted to some
1000, 600, but this year it will not be much
over 1000, 900. This changed condition not
only means n severe loss in wages to the
men who have always worked in the woods,
but strikes a hard blow at the farmers VINO
have heretofore found n good market Tor
their produce in supplying these operations,
All this is due to the democratic tarlir
smashing programme, and it IS safe to say
that the people of Aroostook, democrats as
well as republicans, do not entertain a high
opinion Of the Wilson bill.
