Stanley Basin on the 22d inst. De-
ceased was a member of the Idaho

the law of the last session of the

ditions under which they are worked.
No rural sections of the country
are so prosperous as those which
possess successful irrigation, yet
there are 100000 acres of land
in the West now arid and worthless,
but capable, under complete irriga-
ton, of raising certain and enormous
crops.
The section foremen of the Great
Northern railway were tried at Bon
ner's Ferry, for employing Japanese

If the Cubans, as stated in the
resolutions passed by Congress, "are
and ought to be Free" the same can
be said of the Filipinos, and this
nation would suffer no humiliation
in acknowledging its adherence to
the doctrine that governments de-
rive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed.
Editor Jake Horn of the Cald we'll
Record says Mr.. Borah, whom the
goldbugs are patting on the back
and calling pet names, stated to
him mo later than last week that

re-adopted, that he would vote for
Bryan and take the platform for
him"
Land monopoly is hardly a ques-
ton to brighten the West as yet.
There is no dearth of land. With
between seventy-fve aud a hundred
million acres of public land waiting
to be reclaimed, irrigated and Guilt
waited, the West need not yet worry
about what land has passed into
private hands. Let it turn its at
tention to that remaining and unite
to secure its reclamation by the
National Government.

Congress appropriates millions o.
dollars for the building Of levees
ripraps and dredging mud to com
paratively little purpose; the waters
every now and then come rampag
ing down and break over the levees
/ causing death and destruction. Blu
the same money, spent by the same
Government and by the same com
petent corps of engineers, to builc
storage dams and irrigation bitches
would prevent floods by storii
these waste waters, and would givt
employment to thousands of labor
ers, and, at the same time, create {
home for every one Of them.
Scipio Craig, editor of the Red
lands Citrograph, is an expansion
list, and one of the right sort. Hea
him: We are an expansionist bu
we don't want all the Expansion
outside the United States. w
want to "expand" water over mill
ions of acres of as fertile land as eve
a pillow was stuck in, thus turning
desert into fruitful fields and or
chards. To do this the government
must take charge of reservoir site
and turn them into fructifyin
lakes. The people will DO the res
and add millions upon millions c
dollars worth of taxable propert
to the wealth of the nation.
