The boatwomen of China have no need to agitate for women's rights they possess them. The boatwoman, whether she be a single woman or wife or 8 widow. is the head of the house-that is to say, of the boat. If she is married, the husband takes the useful but subordinate place of deck hand or bow oarsman. She does the steering, makes bargains with the pas sepgers, collects the money, buys supplies, and in general lords it over everything I'll Keystone.

REcLAMArIoN oF rHE wEsr.

'fOur growth in popul tion and wealth for the last three hundred years has not been in the direction of prepar- ation for the reclamation of the arid West, but directly against it. The importance of the agriculture of hum!d lands has made the reclamation of the arid half of this country seemingly of little consequence and has caused those who know nothing of our necessities to regard our claim for needed aid and the enactment of laws suited to our conditions to be both unnecessary and impertinent.
 ''It is this preponderanee of ignor- ance and indifference which constitutes our greatest danger. The trouble is not to secure q development of some kind, but to secure the righG kind which will result in the largest and best use Of our resources. and end in making irrigated agriculture as stable and prosperous as that depend ent on rainfall The difficulty which confronts us now is not so much lack of resources as the opportunity to make the best use of what we have.
 ''It is easier to obtain money to build canal than it is to secure the definite abrogation of the doctrine of riparian rights, which. so long as it is not abrogated is a perpetual menace to the value of the canal and to the homes it creates. The trouble is not so much to dispose of the public land as to secure the enactment of land laws which will put those lands in the hands of the men who are willing tc undergo the privations of pioneer life for the sake of enjoying landed in dependence.
 It is these facts which gave sig nifcance and value to the stopping O the wheels of legislation at the close of the last Congress by Senator Warren. It aroused the people of thu East from their indifference to thi

TIE ARID WEST.
Senator Warren's Advocacy of it's Cause
 Commented by his Constituents.
Denver Republican, April 15, 18s9.l


 
 Denver Republican, April 15. 1sss.l
 Senator Warren's return from Wash ington to his home in Cheyenne after the adjournment of Congress was the occasion of dinner in his honor, at which his zealons advocacy of the cause of the West was strongly com mended.
 An address upon "The Possibilities of Irrigation" was made by Elwood Mead, State Engineer of Wyoming which was in part as follows:
 "rhe possibilities of irrigation em- brace many things which time will not permit me to consider. What they have of achievement, of wealth and of population for this region nothing but the vision of prophet would enable me me to forecast. The wonderful transformation already wrought in the appearance, resources and popular estimation of the value of the arid West makes il difficult in many re- speets for future possibilities to surpass past achievements.
 IRRIGATION AND CIVILIZATION
 "Draper says that civilization de- bends on climate and agriculture.' After my recent visit to Arizona was ready to endorse the latter part of his proposition. The long stretches of sand desert with the gigantic cactuses stand ing as fitting sentinels over it's desola- tion made me wonder that the Indian had ever consented to make that re- zion his habitation. The miles and miles of alfalfa fields covered with their garment of unapproachable green, which in places have supplanted the desert, made it a matter of sur prise that so many white men had stayed away. The misery of the crucifxion thorn above the ditch and the beauty and bounty of the orange grove below it mark the entire span between the barbarism of past ages and the highest achievements of nine teerth-century civilization.
 "The irrigation ditch is the con spicuous feature which separates the Big Horn Basin of Capt. BonnevilIe's time from the Big Horn Basin of today. A change which marks the displace- meut of atribe of Indians which, by common consent, were Che most adroit and industrious thieves ofthis eonti- nent by the stablisbmsnt ofcommuni- ties ot farmers who are reelatming the land aud creating homes under au ir- rigatior system which is known of and admitted beyond the borders of our own country for he.stability, justice and enlightened principles which form it's basis.
 "The success ofirrigation has already gone beyond the stage of experiment, but to develop it's possibilities there must be legislation and adequate social and industrial organization. The greatest obstacle which confronts us is the ignorance or indifference which prevents the enactment of one and development of the other. In this respect our condition would have been fsr better if the first settlement had been made on the Pacific instead ol the Atlantic slope in California instead of Virginia.
