New York, January 10.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cabegram says:
 T he markets here were dull at the open ing, fearing sales from Paris, but prices were firm, though there was little business. Americans again occupied the chief atten- ton. London bought from the start Brok- CTS business was not very large, but there was heavy house trading. New York was inclined to sell at the start, but later bought by blocks and the close was excited at the top. Morgan interests led all day. Heavy options were offered in Central Pacifics and Atehison preferred, the latter at 12 cent for the single option to end with the month.

New Y ork Cotton Market.


 New York, January 10.-The advancing movement inaugurated in the earlier part of last week in cotton continues unchecked and the prospects, are that prices will reach a still higher level before any considerable reaction takes place. Sentiment today was unquestionably bullish from the start so far as the rank and file in outside specula- tive circles was concerned, while profess sonal longs showed the utmost confidence and purchased on every sign of weakness After opening at about last nights figures, prices went off several points under profit taking by scapers and a number of the less reliant investors, following failure of the Liverpool future market to respond as expected to our firmness yesterday. The easier ruling was short lived, however, as the decline uncovered numerous limited buying orders. Shorts subsequently, be- came nervous, late advices from abroad indicating a marked change for better all round, while information from the cotton belt averaged up decidedly in favor of the staple. Northern spinners were said to be buying heavily, despite the higher prices demanded, with foreign spinnerS' represen- tatives unable to compete with them. At nearly all points the crop movement was seen to be waVering, which points to re- duced estimates for the seasons output from a number of quarters, notably TeXas Bad roads were sadly interfering with marketing throughout the central and eastern portions of the belt. and recently picked cotton was said to be of very in- ferior quality. in many instances, in fact almost unmarketable. The principal fea- ture of the English news was sales of l0,- 00O bales spot at an advance of 1-S2d, with the market firm at the close. Our market finished the day steady in tone at net gain of 1 to 6 points

THE EAST AND THE WEST.

The normal condition of the average farmer throughout the East is one of inquiry as to weather conditions. His face is upturned to the sky, he watches the appear ance of the clouds and asks anx-' iously: "Will this rain hold off for day or more?" or, q am a. fraid these are only wind clouds" as the case may be. He must wait for rain in order to blow or to plant or he cannot plow or plant because of rain, The greatest proofof the value of irrigation lies in the fact that no farmer who has once prac- ticed it, is ever willing to change to farming under conditions where he is dependent upon natural and unevenly distributed rainfall. The farmer who has his moisture SUD- ply under his control, knows what he can do. and goes ahead and does it with almost as much certainty of results as the contractor projects and builds his house. The satisfac- ton to the former of knowing that the labors of half a season will not be rendered void because of week of untimely drouth, is one that cannot be fully appreciated except by those who have tried both systems.
 The ordinary farmer is looked upon largely as man who plods along without responsibility, worry or thought. As matter of fact, his worries, where he is dependent upon the clements, are constant, and far in excess of those of many business men. Never a season

NOT A SPECULATION COM
 MODIFY.

The time has gene by in the West for irrigation water to be used as a commodity for speculation. In the early days the title to water supply or the prospects of getting 1t was used as Q means to enhance values and in many cases to sell land to strangers themselves eagar to in- vest but now water needed to legit- imately irrigate land so that 1t will yield.its products which must be sold in the face of constantly-in creasing competition. Water, therefore should be no longer used as a speculative medium. Itthould be made available to the consumer at the actual cost of the construc- ton and operation of the necessary distribution works, and without cost for reservoir storage, It has been generally demonstrated, dur ing the past ten years, that there is but little profit in private storage enterprises, for, while the advan- tage to the community Is great, the owners of the plant do not reap the full benefit. The practicable and fair method and the only one which will be absolutely successful is the building of reserYoirs by either the General or State Govern ments. with the free use of the wa ters stored to the landowners. The proposition is exactly similar to that in which the public has the free use of and benefit from the improvements made by the Govern ment on some harbor, the dredging of some river for navigation, or the establishment of some light house or danger signal.

Irrigation Topics
State or Government Aid?
Should the States Improve Government Property.

That every Western State needs irrigation is conceded. Those sec- tions which have tried it have sim ply demonstrated the necessity for the utilization of the entire water product product of the State, if that State is to reach it's full deyel- opment. This utilization of the entire water product of the State means the construction of reser- voirs, as there is no river, not res ervoired, but that some time dur ing the year wastes large quantities of surplus water. It is also gener- ally conceded that private capital cannot and never will utilize all the water of any State. There then remains to be considered the States themselves and the National Gov ernment as the only agencies quail fled to create a comprehensive res ervoir system in the West. In the first place. this work is distinctly interstate in chara cter, and is therefore less properly State than a National enterprise. In no States are all the streames confined to the limits of those States. Wyoming, for example, is the fountain head of streams flowing in all directions, whose waters pass thr ough or bor- der npon no less than twenty other States or Territories. This is true to less degree in Colorado. No reservoir can be built in either of these States which will not infu- ence the flow of water in other States.
 Another strong reason why the General Government should con- struct reservoirs lies Tn the fact that it would be improving it's own that is, it's reservoir building would make salable its now arid land. The States, on the other hand, should they build reservoirs, would

Artesian Wells in the Black
 Hills.

The protracted drouths in many sections of the country this year have called more than usual atten- ton to methods of artificial water ing. In fact, the art of irrigation is encroaching to a considerable extent into the domain of the hu- mid zone. The experiments which the Government has been conduct ing in South Dakota have awaken ed there an intense interest in irri- gation and possibilities. At Fort Meade, in that State, the author ities have been sinking artesian wells, and instead of having to bore to a depth of 1000 feet, as anticipated, a splendid flow was en- countered at depth of 800 feet. It is generally believed that this is the average depth at which water will be found, and this being the ease, farming in the Black Hills country will be actually revolution ized, that section with sure sup ply of water, forming one of the most desirable agricultural fields in the West.

NJ. F. Mcbride and Monte Slaughter, Fight at an Eagle Creek Cow Camp.-Slaughter US-

NJ. F. McBride, the we'll known cat. tleman, of the Black River country came riding into Solomonville last Sun day evening late, in such state of dis. order his acquaintances failed to recog- nize him. When these acquaintances were made aware of his identity, they were undecided as to whether he had been chewed up by bear or mixed up with Kansas cyclone. Some suggested that he had perhaps fell into threshing machine. His eyes were bruised his hands cut in many places, his Jumper" clung to his body in threads, in the left shoulder was a severe stab wound and knife slash extended from his right shoulder blade to the hip, only cutting the skin, but cutting that the entire dis tance.
 Dr. A. F. Bonnie dressed McBrides many wounds, when it was learned what was the trouble. On Saturday last Me Bride and Monte Slaughter met at a COW camp on the Double Circle range. Between these men had been some pre- vious enmity and quarrel and a fight was soon in progress. Mir. Mcbride says Slaughter first tried to kill him with six shooter which he was wrenching from his hand when a bystander inter fered and took the gun. Then Slaugh- ter secured rock which Mac was about to take from him when the bystander again interfe red. Then Slaughter pull ed long -bladed pocket knife and went to work on Mac with that, but during the cutting the bystandsr failed to inter- fere
