When the purchaser Of a French
mirror pays an extravagant price
for his purchase he is told that it
cannot possibly be sold for less be-
cause Of the enormous import duty
and lets it go at that, being satis-
fled that nearly one half Of what he
had to pay for it goes into the na-
tional treasury. The import duty
is IS per cent. ad valoref1, exclu-
sive Of the frame, on which there Is
an additional duty. Bit 1t is now
discovered that very little mirror
glass is imported and what is sold
as French" is manufactured here.
The amount Of duty is added to the
selling price and instead Of going
into the national treasury finds It's
way into the Golfers Sf the plate
glass trust. Instead Of importing
we are exporting and underselling
the French manufacturer at his own
door. ttt

A Wks Judge.

Each year every local paper gives
from $500 to 81 900 in free lines for
the benefit Of the community in
which it is located. No other paper
can or will do this. The editor, in
proportion to his means, does more
for his own town than any other
man. and with fairness, man with
wan, he ought to be supported. not
because you may like him or ad.
riire his writing, but because local
newspaper is the best advertisement
a community can have. 1t may
not be crowded with great thoughts,
but financially it Is more Of a bene-
ct than both preacher and teacher.
Today the editors Of the. lacal pa.
pcrs do more for less pay than any
other men on Garth. Patronize your
local paper, not as a charity, but as
an investment. nt.-tudge Davis, u. s.

Water Rights.
An important Phase of the irrigation
Question.

Prof. Elwood Meade, at the
eighth session Of the National
Irrigation Congress at Missoula,
called attention to a matter in
connection with irrigation,
which is becoming more and
more important to farmers in
the arid region, namely, water
rights.
From being like air and
light" said Mr.. Meade, "the
common property of all, and
equal to meeting the demands
of all, water has become SO val
liable and controversies over its
appropriation are coming to be
waged with an ingenuity and
fertility of resource only equal
ed by the Importance of the prop
erty sought to be controlled, and
by the indifference of the public
as to the result. IF farming un-
der irrigation means that those
engaged must raise crops simply
to pay lawyers fees, there is no
question that the ultimate YER
dict will be that a dependence
on the uncertainties of rainfall
is to be preferred to the uncer-
tainties now attendant on the
diversion OF streams, and that
the vicissitudes of the clouds are
less to be dreaded than a con-
stant attendance upon courts.
Mr.. Meade made strong plea
for a general system in measur-
ing rivers, in supervising the is
suance Of titles in water, as is
done in the survey and disposal
of public lands. An evil Of
state court DEGREES, he said, is
that the DEGREES ignore the irri-
gator. It is largely held that
water is the exclusive property
Of the company owning the ca
nal. Mr.. Meade. however, holds
that rights for irrigation should
be inseparable from the land re
claimed.
The United States Agricultu-
raj Department is now institu-
ting irrigation investigation and
Mr.. Meade states that this work
is destined to have an inestima-
bic value in presenting in relia-
ble and comprehensive form the
facts regarding the time Of year
when water is needed, the vol
une used, and other necessary
data. These Investigations are
destined to do more, however,
than to promote the reform Of
water contracts, and to act as
guides to courts and irrigation
authorities. They will show 70
the east that irrigation has more
of benefits than of necessities

They have started a new kind
Of campaign against cattle THE
YES in Navajo county, says the
Phoenix Herald. Heretofore it
has been next to impossible to
secure conviction even in cases
in which there was neither NOR
al or legal doubt of guilt. There
was one man who was indicted
for cattle stealing by every
grand jury in Apache county
for thirteen years. He always
escaped conviction either by ac-
quittal or by a disagreement of
the jury. It became a laugh
ing matter with him and his
operations were open and no
torious. He was indicted by
the last grand jury, furnished
bonds and took things easy. He
was d man of discernment and
when the last term of court was
convened and he saw the per-
sonnel of the trial jury, he
quickly realized that times had
changed. Two hours before the
time set for the calling of his
case he disappeared and has
not since been found.
