daries. 1t would require an i'm
mensity OF water to irrigate so vast
an area OF territory whose soil Is as
thirsty as is sponge.
In the sub.humid regions. in
Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska,
Montana and Dacota, the freshets
caused by the melting Of the snow
in the mountains occur regularly
at certain season OF the year and
furnish an ample supply of water
for irrigation by constructing
storage dams across the main
water courses. But these dams
cost large sums OF money, are liza.
BILE to leak and to give way, as the
fish dam at Johnston, Pa, did,
and drown out the county lying
below them. This is a fri ghtful
risk to run, but in those states it
has to be run in order to enjoy irri-
cation. Southwest Texas has no
snow to melt and cause freshets in
her rivers.
In British India there is rainy
season, when there are no crop
growing, and the water which falls
in this rainy season is collec ted
and stored in tanks for irrigating
the soil in the dry season. But
Southwest Texas does not have a
rainy season OF this description.
II Southwest Texas is ever TO en-
joy the blessings of irrigation she
must obtain the water therefor
from artesian wells. There is no
other source except from local irri-
cation by taking water from the
streams traversing the country.
The feasibility Of obtaining wa.
ter from artesian wells Is no longer
a doubtful or debatable matter. II
good flow of water can be Oh
tanned at depth Of from 400 to
800 feet, water from artesian wells
Of that depth will be less costly than
the plan, in vogue, In the western
states, of building dams across
rivers for storing water is obtained
from artesian well, it may true,
sing the song OF TennysOn's
river:
"Men may come, and men may go,
But | 60 on forever"
The people in each county, must
club together, pool their money, by
means of JOINT stock company,
and go to work, with coats off and
sleeves rolled up, to obtain a sup
ply OF water, by and through arte-
sian wells. The sooner they will
60 to work, the sooner they will go
to work, the sooner will they en-
| joy irrigation and its incalculable
advantages. They never will OBJ
tain it in any other way.
A neighborhood can secure irri-
cation for it's own lands by club
bling together. Each land owner in
such neighborhood can become a
stakeholder, and this local COM
pany can fix it's own water rates,
or dispense with them. The water
from the artesian wells can be col.
lected and stored in tanks whose
bottoms are level with the surface
of the earth.
Mounds of earth can be raised as
high as necessary, and the water
in them, can be drawn out of them
through fumes, for irrigation.

Bruin Was Knowin. and Bold.

i"When I was in the Yellowstone park last summer" said a Wyoming valley man, 'one of the gamel1eepers told me about bear that worried a camp of government soldiers almost to desperation for several weeks. Late one night bear waddled into camp, ripped open tent, put the soldiers to flight, got what he wanted to eat, and went away. The next night the bear came around again, smashed down tent and stole smoked ham. Under the park rules the soldiers were prohibited from firing at the thievish brute, as we'll as from jabbing a bay onet into him, and the only thing they could do when the bear appeared and went to helping himself to rations was to get out of his way. Night after night the bold beast made raid on the camp and ruined tent or two. My informant said that the bear acted as if he knew that the soldiers daren't fire on him, and that on each visit he became more saucy and destructive than before. When the bears raids had become unbearable the command ant sent the facts to the secretary of the interior and asked what to do Word came back to shoot the bear, and that night, when Bruin strode boldly into camp, the soldiers put an end to his career by riddling him with bull lets. ."-N. |.

old Bill Botts Had Found the Heather
 Chlnoe Not at All Accommodating.
 X good, honest fellow in his way was Bill Bolts, but he had never had an op- portunity to study moral philosophy as taught in the colleges and uniyersi- ties, says the New York Herald. He came from Biddeford, in Devon, and very likely some of his ancestors had helped Drake ''wallop" the Spaniards. He had followed in their footsteps by enlisting in the navy to fight for his queen and country whenever called upon to do so.
 When he returned from voyage to China he brought with him a present for gentleman who had been very kind to his old mother during his absence. It was curiously fashioned Chinese garment made of bits of species of straw strung together.
 'Plase, sur, you must excoos un be- ing torn," he said, bashfully, when he presented it, "the Chinaman wouldn't part with un aisy."
 He had run across Chinaman wear ing it somewhere in the streets of Hong Kong, and the unfortunate celestial not understanding his sum- mary request to ''hand that over here" he had simply yankcd it off him.
 To the suggestion that his conduct had hardly been consistent with strict honesty he replied:
 ''Beggin' your pardon, sur, he wuz only haythen, an never heard that taking things from haythen counted as stalin'."
 ''WelI, replied his friend, If many illustrious Englishmen had not acted on that assumption don't know where the British empire would now be; so I'll keep the heathen's gar mentS''
