The Ditch Extension.

Supt. Meeker is now busily engaged
in extending the Meeker irrigation ditch
on east to the Hatfield ranch, upon 500
acres of which a contract has recently
been signed to deliver water by the
company.
The extension is only intended to be
large enough to furnish the water re-
quired by this contract, and can easily
be enlarged as occasion demands.
Frank Sti1lman has force of s or 10
teams at work, and Page Francisis is doing
the surveying and overseeing the job.
The ditch company is also at work con-
structing permanent headgate for the
ditch. It will be much larger than the
temporary affair, as well as substantial
in every respect. 1t is probable that the
new gate will give an increased head OF
wafer

If you are going to raise garden by
windmill irrigation, next year, turn the
mill loose now, and get the ground thor
oughly soaked this fall Construct a
small reservoir or pond and let the mill
fill it this fall and winter and have it
ready for use in the spring. By this
means you will be enabled to irrigate a
much larger piece of ground, and much
more thoroughly than otherwise. To
make the pond so that it will hold water
turn the water on and after allowing a
few days for the ground to get soaked
turn the water off and allow the pond TO
dry up and the sun to bake the bottom
hard. If hogs, cattle, or horses can be
turned IN to tramp the bottom while it
is wet, so much the better. Don't think
you can put these things of until spring

has been renominated by the Populists

bruiser he probably stands the peer of

Sandy Griswold, but his record as leg

study without feeling that an intelligent
oak stick could have put in his place
with greater credit to hard lumber than
he proved himself to those who placed

When you go into politics. brave
youth, you must leave all sensitiveness
behind. You must harden yourself to
stand the jeers and SCOTS Of the enemy
without hinching. You must wear an
adjective mood armor. You must carry
a cake of tar soap and good deodorizer,
for all sorts of ancient and decayed
things are likely to be thrown at you.
It may be that away back, before you
were born, your grandfather lifted some
bodys chickens at the dead of night; it
may be that your father, in thought
less moment, inadvertently broke into a
church and e1oped with the pulpit; it
may be that you have relatives who have
served their terms in the standard peni-
tentiaries: all these things will be raked
up no matter how skillfully you have
hidden them, and they will sprung upon
you when you least expect it, and when
they will do you the most harm. If you
squirm you are lost. You must take
things as they come, and smile and
smile, even when you feel like going
into corner and stufhng your coat
sleeves into your eyes and having a
good cry. Such is political life; the best
plan is to stay out of it, and get a horse
and buggy and go riding in the pleasant
evenings People will think more Of
you.-Wa1t Mason.
