DR.. Stubbs in. an interview in the
Washington Post speaks of Nevada
a. follows: E .. ....- ....
"Nevada has no reason to feel dis
gruntled at the administration, for We
have had very prosperous year;
stock farming has paid better than in
many years, and the crops have all
stood very well. What is needed in
our State, as, in fact, in that entire
vast region Of the west, are better
systems of irrigation, and that Is one
Of the problems which our association
will discuss here this week. Efforts
are now being made in our own state
and in California to establish water
reservoirs, in which the overflow from
the snow of the mountains can be
gathered to be distributed during the
summer on the agricultural lands.
Through private enterprise some OF
these have already been constructed,
by simply building a huge wall in
front of some canyon. Rain, you
know, is scarce, but the precipitation
of moisture falling in the form of
snow in the mountain regions is quite
plentiful, so that in the spring time
the water rushes down the river beds
in great torrents. We. therefore, re-
ally do not need large absolute guam
titles of water, but merely ali equali-
cation pud distribution of the amount
at the proper season.
%Now, what we want is Federal CON-
troll OF this matter; the state govern
ments are interested, but in many
cases, as, for instance, in the case of
Lake Tahoe, which is partly in Cali
fornia and partly in Nevada, the iu.-
provement can be undertaken only
by the United States. The advan-
tage would be simply inestimable.
@Our state has 100000 acres Of
land, Of which 100000, an area
equal 20 that Of the state of Indiana
may be properly irrigated. This soil
instead Of being as some people be-
ieve, of sterile quality, is the very
best that can be had. 1t is rich with
alkall, and where proper irrigation
has been introduced, wheat has been
raised fifty five bushels to the acre,
while in some parts Of New Mexico
eighty bushels an acre, without the
slightest exaggeration, have been OBJ.
tanned. This is twice and triple the
crop OF an eastern farm, but Of course,
where proper irrigation is not yet in
troduced the land is often practically
worthless .'

DON'T STOP THE WORK.
A Business Mans View of the sewer
situation.

Mr.. George ]. Mills was standing yes
terday afternoon watching the work go
ing on the big sewer on East Broad street.
at seems a pity for any one to want
To stop that work." he said. 1T Is the
very thing Savannah needs, and ] cannot
understand why any one owning property
here could possibly object to the sewers
being built. If houses are owned and dis
ease. an epidemic, breaks out, they can
not be rented. 1t is poor economy that
grudges the building of the sewers merely
because they are likely to cost a small
property owner two or three dollars. A
man with his property in such shape
that it can be readily converted into cash
can get out OF Savannah in case of an
epidemic without losing anything, but the
big property owner is going to lose heav-
ily if the city suffers an epidemic, and
rents go down and houses are vacated. 1t
takes a city long time to fully recover
from the effects upon property valuation
that follow epidemics, and every safe
guard should be taken against them
Mr.. Mills said when he was a member
of the City Council it annually appropria-
ted $4,000 to $4,000 for house drainage
purposes. He said no good, or even ap-
probable results ever followed, and the
money was practically wasted. II is his
idea that IL these sums are expended any
way, IL is a much better plan to have
them go i'm payment for a fine system of
sanitary sewers instead of wasting money
on house drainage In a way that does no
good. The notes falling due in a year
amount to not much more than was an
nually expended for drainage.

Triton TOPICS.
Railroads TO Build a Union Depot
Fruit Outlook Good.

Fruit Outlook Good.
Triton, Ga, March 11.-There has been
considerable agitation here for the past
month or so relative to the building of a
new depot by the Plant System who were
ordered some time ago by the Georgia
Railroad Commission to construct a new
one. Later the Georgia Southern and
Florida were induced to join the Plant
people in union depot at the road cross
ings,. and now the Triton and Northeastern
will likely be Identified in the enterprise,
so that by some time in May Triton will
have handsome depot.
The lumbermen of this section of South
Georgia had a meeting here yesterday in
the interest of better shipping rules and
rates. Ex-Gov, Northen met with them
to ask that they contribute the lumber for
the Georgia building al The Omaha Expo
sition, which request was acceded to.
E. A. Russell, formerly jeweler of Lees
burg, Fla, has transferred his entire stock
and business to Triton, and is now occupy
ing one of the handsome store rooms un-
der the Bowen opera house.
large fruit crop is almost assured in
the section as the steady cool weather has
kept the buds in dormant state so thai
they will not be in full bloom till after the
late frost of March.
