LAND IRRIGATION.
Farmers Would Benefit Themselves By
Making Small Reservoirs on
Their Places.

Following Is an extract from a letter
from W.D. Bassford, private secretary
OF Hon. Champ CLARK, to his father,
]. @. B~assford, of this city:
WARRINGTON, D. O., June 2.-When
l hear of 30 much rain in Missouri and
then turn to the thought that perhaps
1t will not be over two months until
the farmers will be complaining of
drouth, I am compelled to the con-
clusion that many of us Missourians
are laying ourselves bare to the charge
Of being rank chumps. We are prone
to think that the poor W~esterner, who
has to irritate, Is In the soup; that he
ls unfortunate, that we would not
think of changing places with him,
that he is laboriDg under a hardship.
The plain, unvarnished truth Is that
he has us where the hair Is short.
If we eliminate Western Kansas and
Nebraska, where the hot winds get in
their work, the other irrigators have
the better of us who are soaked in the
spring and baked in August. Why
not irrigate In Audrain? That is the
| question that occurs to me after think
ing over the situation. Why cannot
each farmer have his little irrigation
reservoir located near the highest part
of his farm and there store up in the
| spring the c0pious rains that would
come in so very handy In August?
Labor is cheap and the ground will
hold all the water you store there.
In the most cases one reservoir OF
| pond would do for each farm.
If there are ravines the water can
be carried across in sluice boxes to
the highest point beyond the ravine
and again released. In this way each
farmer, after getting his crop In the
ground, can know with a reasonable
degree of certainty just what he will
be able to produce each year. In that
little place at Thompson, If we in
tended to raise general crops, a pond
placed in the eastern side of the pres
ent orchard would irrigate the whole
place.
wish the Mexico papers would take
up this question and get the farmers
to thinking of it. 1 believe if one or
two would try it that it would soon
spread all over North Missouri, bring
ing much added wealth to the country.
I have often heard you make the
remark: elbow nice 1t would be If
now middle of August we could have
one of those rains that were coming
so thickly last spring." If each farmer
will adopt the irrigation system he can
have 1t.
The latest news of Reeds weaken
ing On the Hawaiian question indicates
that we will be here for some time.
AS ever, WALLACE BAssFoRD.

Every Evening, October cath. aa
Lieut.. L. Calvin Bertolette of the
United States monitor Amphitrite.
which is now in Boston harbor, is
visiting his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. L.
A. Bertolette, in this city. He is in
excellent health and tells some in
teresting stories concerning the war
with Spain, In which he was actively
engaged as an officer of the gunboat
Wilmington. The lieutenant has a
leave of absence of 10 days. which time
he will divide between his home in
this city and relatives in Pennsylvania.
When he reports for duty on the AM
phitrite he expects to be at sea for
about four months. 4s
In speaking of the war, Lieut.. Berto-
lette recalls some interesting incidents.
He describes Wildly the battle Of
Manzanillo, where the Wilmington did
such heroic service, and destroyed a
whole fleet of small Spanish gunboats.
The work of Kidding tho harbor of
Manzanillo Of the fleet of small boats
had been offered to various COM
manders, but for some reason none
seemed anxious to accept it. When it
was offered to Capt Todd he and the
crew of the Wilmington accepted it
eagerly, and steaming down into the
harbor ON July 18th they made short
work Of the Spanish fleet and batteries
located there. He also relates many
other interesting experiences in which
the plucky ittleignnboat and her gall
liant crew played an important part.
| Included in these is the battle at
\ Cardenas, where Ensign Bagley lost
\ his life; the ships blockade duty and
movements ffoafatanzas, where she
aided,in landing supplies for the Cuban
army, and the cutting of the cables al
Santa Cruz and several other little en-
gagemehts. Lieut.. Bertolette conducted
the cable cutting expedition at Santa
| Cruz, and it was-so successful that he
was complimented by his superior
| officers.

Smyrna. Oct. "a. THE registrars in
each district of Duck Creek hundred
were busy all day on Saturday, and
the result is that a full vote is regis
tered, not one person being turned
away for want of time to put his name
on the books. The total registration
in the Eastern district is 507, and
in the Western district 406. There are
two appeal cases in the Eastern dis
trict, and seven in the Northern dis
trict. The Democrats are highly elated
over the work Of Saturday, and there
is no doubt that Pierce, Democrat, for
the Legislature, will win over FAIRIES,
Union Republican, by good majority.
The Republicans were simply dazed at
the work done by the Democrats. In
the Western district, in the afternoon,
of the 90 votes registered only % are
Republicans. The Young Democrats
of the hundred are expecting great
turn out at the Opera House on Thurs
day evening, when Willard Salisbury
Of Wilmington and A. s. Colds
borough of Maryland will address
them.

SUSSEX HEPUBLIoANs.
Compromise Nominees for sheriff and State
Senator.


Bridgeville, Oct. %. The selection
of a Republican nominee for Levy
Court commissioner for Northwest
Fork hundred is believed now to be
settled, after considerable difficulty.
Horace Sudler has been selected as the
compromise nominee. George b. Graef
was the Union Republican nominee,
and r. Frank .Ledenham, the Regular
nominee. The county committees re-
moved Graef's name, and substituted
Ledenham's on the compromise ticket,
provided Graef would consent He re-
fused to Withdraw, and Ledenham
would not withdraw either. A COM
promise was finally considered as effect
i've in the selection of Enos b. Wright,
Regular Republican. Wright was noti-
fed of the sele ction, but he immedi-
ately refused to be the nominee. Then
Horace Sudler was selected as the noml
nee, and he has consented. Sudler is
a Regular.
There has been trouble also in the
selection of the Senatorial nominee
from the First district. Simeon s.
Pennewill was the Union and s. H..
Nelson the Regular nominee. Penne-
will was selected by the county com
| mittees as The compromise nominee,
| but, like Graef, Nelson at first refused
to consent to the arrangement. On
i Thursday, however, he reconsidered the
/ matter and withdrew in favor of Pehne
| will.
