That minister must have license
and that license must DO shown Ia

Rev. Daley was licensed in Douglas

failed to record his license in thio
county as tho law directs. Failing to
do his duty, Tho INDEPENDENT had II
right to rely upon the record. 70 his

NATIONAL IRRIGATION

Private enterprise in water deyel-
opment, says the Los Angeles Timee,
will be neither crippled nor killed by
the policy OF National irrigation. The
fact that there aTe now thousands of
acres OF good land under reliable
water privileges not under cultiva-
tion is used by eastern antagonists OF
national irrigation policy to prove
that no more land is needed, and pro-
moters OF water systems say that
those who have put out money to de-
velop the country will be ruined when
the Government shalkadopt plan Of
national irrigation. Both are wrong.
The men who have devised, these ex-
tensive systems OF land reclamation
are not destined to lose their. invest
ments. Should they look for IN i'm
mediate sale of their land they would
he disappointed; but let the Govern
ment step in, build water systems,
throw open the land at small price
with adequate water rights, and the
result would be that the lnnd of the
entire surrounding country would at
once become more valuable. There
could never be enough land TO sup.
ply the demand and values rs surely
enhance rs that OF a city lot built
about ON every side by substantial
property.
The fact that there ia much land
under water system still uncultivated
does not prove that more land Is not
desirable-is not needed. The land
is not taken up, because eustern fam
lies who would like to come and who
would make desirable settlers il they
came. cannot afford to pay the cost of
transportation, the price Of the land
and the added burden OF water
right. Throw open the land without
the added burden OF water right and
Il stampede will Immediately follow.
How long would the Middle West
have been in settling up il the land
had been held at from 900 to 800 per
acre?

ADMIRAL DEwEy.s CAREER.

Now that Admiral George Dewey,
the hero Of Manila, has returned to
his native land, the following sketch
OF his career will prove OF interest:
George Dewey is veteran among
the naval officers OF the United
States. lie received his first exper-
ience under Admiral Farragut, and
aboard the old steam sloop Missls-
sippi, to which he WIS assigned for
duty April 10, 1861, eight days before
Fort Sumter WIS fired upon.
He is now e. years old and a native
OF Vermont. He was appointed to
the Naval Academy from that State
in September 1857. When ho was
graduated four years later he was
sent aboard the steam frigate Wa
bash, and went on u cruise III the
Mediterranean. He received his
commission lis a lieutenant when he
was assigned to duty on tho Missis-
sippi, which joined the West Gulf
squadron. When Farragut's feet
forced an entrance to the Mississippi,
Lieut.. Dewey was in the thickest OF
the fray upon the old steam sloop.
The most spirited fight in which
the Mississippi ever took part occur
RED i'll March, 1863, when the fleet
tried to pass by the Confederate bat =
teries Mt Fort Hudson. Some OF the
ships managed te pass Up to the mar
row part o. the caannel, where they
were fired upon 10y the shore bait
les. being forced to retreat. But the
Mississippi did not attempt to get up
into the channel. 1t WAS a foggy day
made more Obscure by the smoke Of
battle. The sloop lost it bearings
and ran ashore. Before its officers
were aware OF it it had strucI: di-
rectly under the guns OF Il battery
which was one OF the strongest OF die
Notifications. 1t WAS only a brief
breathing spell before $50 shots
struck the Mississippi and riddled it
from end to end. The obscurity
made it possible Tor it's crew to take
to their boats after setting it on fire.
Dewey got his first command in
1870. when he performed special SER
vice with the Narraganseit. He made
surveys OF the pacific coast until 1876
when he became lighthouse inspec
tor, afterwards being the secretary OF
the lighthouse board. During 1882
S3 he commanded the Jaunita on the
Atlantic station.
In September 1881 LicutenaDtDew.
ry was made n captain, and placed in
charge Of the Dolphin ,one OF the four
vessels thai formed the original White
Squadron. IIe was placed in COM
mand OF the Pensacola the following
year in tho European squadron, RS.
naming as it's commander till 1898,
when lie became chief OF the bureau
OF equipment and recruiting with the
rank OF commodore.
The duties and rank OF Dewey rc
manned tho same until 1896 when he
became member OF the lighthouse
board. IIo received his commission
MS commodore about February %.
lSoG and about this time he was made
president OF the board Of inspection
and survey, which position he occupi.
cd till January 1893. when ho was
placed in command OF the Asiatic
squadron.
On May 7,1sos, Commander Dewey
was promoted to be Rear Admiral and
given tho thanks OF Congress. Later
no was made full admiral by act OF
Congress.
