The hillali Problem.

The great drawback in irrigating arid
lands is the danger from alkali, which
is almost sure to be the ultimate result
of continuous irrigating, unless care
fully guarded against. 1t is said that
in certain valleys in California where
the water level was some forty feet be
low the surface number of years ago,
or before irrigation was practiced. the
water is now within foot or two of the
surface. Where the water comes SO
near the surface, farming is a failure,
because crops will not grow with wet
feet. This rising of the water also
brings to the surface alkali, which i! al
lowed to accumulate will finally prevent
any crops from growing. The only SUI
licient remedy for al.Iali is draining. or
teaching, it out of the soil. 1t canuo,
be washed out b. flooding tie surface:
there must be under-drains to carry of
the accumnlations. Sooner or later
draining will have to be resorted to, and
the sooner the better. Where land is
cheap, however, it will probably not pay
to drain, owing to the cost OF the
system, but it is fact that much of the
best land in Colorado and Utah is
being rendered useless, and will remain
so until drainage is resorted to, and
here is no more productive land than re-
claimed aikal land.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 3.-The officers
of the State Democratic committee
give out the following forecast:
In 1892 the Democratic plurality was
10000. The most careful and trust
worthy estimates show that outside of
st. Louis city the gold standard Demo
cratic detection will be more than off
set by silver Republican accessions.
The Peoples party vote is solid for
Bryan. In 1892 this vote outside of St.
Louis was 10000. This would give
Bryan outside this city a lead of
$4,000. Allowing the Republicans
10000 stay-at-home votes in 1892,
Bryan will still have 10000 outside of
this city.
The Republican State committee is
confident that there is a big surprise
party in store for the Democrats, and
say that their state and national ticket
will carry the state.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The weather

special election day bulletin:
'WAsnINGToN, Nov. 3. Election
day weather: The weather bureau fur
nishes the following special bulletin to
the press: Fair and pleasant weather
with about normal temperature pre-
walls this morning in all states except
as follows: From two to three inches
of snow have fallen over South Dakota
and snow is still falling with a prob
ability that it will continue to-day and
tonight; in North Dakota about two
inches of snow have fallen in the south
erns central part of the state and
the conditions are favorable for
moderate snow fall to-day and to-
night in the eastern half of the
state; in Nebraska light snow will
probably fall in the north half of
the state tonight; in Minnesota, Wis
consin and upper Michigan the wea-
Their is cloudy with indications strongly
indicating an unpleasant day Tuesday
with light rain or snow; in lower Mich
igan clouds are gathering and tie con-
ditions are favorable for warm weather
on Tuesday with cloudy and occa-
sional showers; in Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri and Iowa the weather is
warm and pleasant to-day, but clouds
are now gathering and the conditions
are uncertain for Tuesday, with the
weight of evidence in favor of gener-
ally fair weather; in Washington and
Oregon rain has fallen every day dur
ing the past week, making conditions
bad for travel in the country and it is
probable that heavy cloudiness and
moderate fall of rain will continue in
both states on Tuesday; in all other
states the weather chart this morning
gives strong indications Of fair and
pleasant weather for Tuesday.-Willis
