To Brigham Young must ever be-
long the credit of having introduced
irrigation into the United States. He
caused to be constructed-ffty years
ago-where Salt Lake City now stands
the first irrigation canal. No event
in the history of western colonization
is so important or far-reaching in it's
influence for good. From that small
beginning began the irrigation which
is now common to the agriculture of
all the wonderful empire west of the
Rocky Mountains. From that first
canal developed the great systems
which rapidly extended over Utah.
Idaho and the adjoining states, and
which now gridiron almost half Of
the United States. In the early stages
of irrigation Development small sys-
TENS were built by the union of the
capital and labor of neighbors and
friends. These cooperative systems
were necessarily inexpensive and were
confined to localities where physical
conditions we're most favorable and

secured under the acts of congress, or
it can be obtained from private indi-
viduals or the irrigation companies for
a small sum per acre and upon long
payments at low rates of interest.
With these opportunities the land
seeker who cannot find in this divers
ity Of country watered by these sys-
TENS a farm of his liking will be in
deed hard to please. If the advantage
enjoyed by the irrigation farmer and
the opportunities for securing fertile
and we'll watered farms close to mar
ket were generally known by the agri-
culturists of the east this announce
ment would not stand long in print,
and the cry there is no more room"
would soon be heard in Utah and
Idaho. In this limited account little
more than glimpse of what irriga-
ton is and what it has accomplished
and can accomplish can be given. In
the region where irrigation prevails,
it insures not only the certainty of an
nual crops, but the certainty of per-
feet development, and the certainty of
market. The first two of these GER
tainties are guaranteed by the fact that
water is always at hand ready for use
not only to stimulate the growth of
the growing grain, but to quench it's
thirst at just the right time to insure
perfect development. The other GER
tainty springs from the fact that in
the irrigated region mining, smelling,
manufacturing and other industries
distinct from agriculture are extens-
lively carried on and the demand of
those employed in these occupations
insures to the farmer the sale of his
products speedily and at good prices.

Washington, May 5. - Several war
measures were passed by the senate,
and, Notwithstanding their Importance,
not one of them elected the slightest
debate. Probably the most important
measure passed by the senate was the
emergency war deficiency bill carrying
$50, 720,945. Not more than ten mill
utes was consumed in passing it, that
time being occupied in reading the
measure. Mr.. Hawley, chairman Of
the military affairs committee, secured
the passage of a bill providing for the
enlistment of q volunteer brigade OF
engineers and of 10000 men in the
South who are immune to yellow fever,
these enliStmentS to be in addition to
those provided for in the presidents
call for $4,000 volunteers. The men
will enlist for the war" Two other
measures were passed, one suspending
for the duration of the war the restric-
tons placed by existing laws upon
the Quartermaster's department of the
army in order that supplies may be
purchased without the present formali-
ties, and the other providing that own
crs Of mining claims shall not forfeit
them for not performing assessment
work upon them provided they enlist
for the war. The war revenue measure
passed by the house Of representatives
last Friday was received by the senate
and referred to the finance committee
for consideration. At the opening OF

Blind People.

So far as the most recent statistics
90, the known proportion of blind peo-
pie is about one in 1900, which would
give a total of one million blind in
the world. The largest proportion is
found in Russia, which has in Eu-
rope 100000 blind in a population of
96,0O0,000, or one in 4SO. Most of these
are found in the northern provinces of
Finland, and the principal cause is
ophthalmia, due to bad ventilation of
the huts of the peasantry and the In
adequate facilities for treatment. There

AMONG TITLED ONES.

China is decidedly waking up. The
new Chinese minister to England is
a. good English scholar and his wife
is studying the language and customs
with view to taking her place in
society. It is understood that she will
be presented next year, and that she
and her husband will then be- enter
tanned and go into society. It is, in
deed, great change, and no doubt is
due as much as anything to Ii Hung
Chang's reception at the court of St.
James.
The Empress Frederick has been ser
iously i'll at Berlin from influenza and
bronchitis and all her majesty's plans
. have been changed in consequence of
her physicians having prescribed sea
air as essential to her speedy recovery.
The empress is, therefore, going to
Kiel,' on visit to Princess Henry of
Prussia, and will stay there for sew
eral weeks. It is now probable that
the empress will not go back to her
place near Homburg until she returns
to Germany after her visit to Eng
land. -..--.
The emperor and empress of Russia
have abandoned their intended visit
| to Copenhagen at Easter. The empress,
who has been seriously i'll for several
weeks from measles and bronchial
complications, will not be able to leave
her apartments in the winter palace for
=; at least fortnight, and then the inn
perial court will remove from st. Pet
ersburg to Tsarkoe Zelo. 1t is very
likely that the empress will soon go
to Livadia for few weeks, accom-
panied by her sister, Princess Louise
Of Battenberg.
The young duchess Of Marlborough
has evinced great Judgment and abil-
lily in restoring Blenheim palace to it's
former magnifcance. Since her resi-
dence at Blenheim all fees taken at the
gates from tourists who visit the pal
ace have been devoted to charity, and
out OF her own pocket the duchess de-
vises many schemes for amusing and
benehting her husbands tenants. In
side the park gates her presence is
quite as emphatically felt as in the
village. for since her coming the park
lake has been dug out, cleared of weeds
and stocked with water fowl and the
garden is in perfect order. Ten years
ago Blenheim palace looked neglected:
now it blossoms again in all the glory
for which it once was famous.
