Royal Writers.

The latest addition to the ranks of
royal authors is the ameer of Afghan
istan. He is writing his autobiography.
Once the aimee was exiled; he tri-
umphed owe his enemies, however,
and by the exercise Of some very fine
work in the way Of practical politics
defeated all their Vaccinations, then
carried dismay into their ranks by APP
pearing suddenly before them at the
head Of an immense host Of warriors.
All his former opponents are either
dead or in exile and now the ameer
promises the interesting story of how
his adroitness foiled all their best-laid
plans.

INSTRUMENTATION Be adopted Civ
ing the state and counties the
right to construct, own and operate
irrigation canals; allowing them to
vote bonds when necessary for
their construction. This would
prevent large corporations Of east
ern capitalists from secureing our
natural resources and extorting
large profits in dividends, which
would leave our state and increase
the accumulated wealth in other
states; would also provide a rev.
enue for state and county and
thereby lessen the burden of tax
alton. It would prevent the dis
sensations and litigations over wa
ter. rights which are a counterpart
of the present irrigation laws Of
South Dakota. The probability is
very remote of securing any sub
stantial aid from the national gov
eminent for irrigation purposes, as
the majority Of the landowners Of
the eastern states are jealous of
the cheap productive lands OF the
west; and the representatives in
congress, from eastern states, pre-
dominate in numbers over those OF
the west; and many agricultural
organizations Of the east passed
resolutions aud sent petitions to
thd congressman to prevent money
being appropriated for retaining
arid lands. Consequently the peo-
pie of this and adjacent states
must rely principally upon their
own resources to work out their
salvation
The foregoing plan will take
several years before it could be
put into practice, as amendments
to state constitution and the pas
sing of laws to enforce the amend
ments would require three or four
years to establish the system; and
as the need of irrigation is imper-
ative. first, to retain, in the control
Of the masses Of the people, the
important water-rights Of this sec.
ton Of the state; and second, to
enable many agriculturalists to
remain on their lands and obtain
a revenue sufficient to support
them and their families. We rec
ommend the consolidation Of all
the irrigation interests Of the Black
Hills and adjacent country into
one organization, and allow the
subscribers of capital stock in said
company to pay one-tenth Iii cash
to defray expenses Of surveys, wa
ter-rights and sites for reservoirs,
ETC., therest Of the stock to be paid
for in labor of men and teams.

bitches and reservoirs in any To-
cality when there was suficien t
