PRESS COMMENT.
IRRIGATED FARMING PAYS.
(napuar Timpc


Denver Times.)
Eighteen months ago 100 Hollanders
went up into Montana and started to
farming on the irrigated lands Of that
state. In figuring W the result of the
first years labor they find that the av-
erage amount of money made was about
$1,000 per Three thousand dollars
a year is not a bad salary, and there are
not many farmers in any section of the
United States who are able to do so well
at any time, much less the first year in
a new country. And it can be done no
place else than in the irrigated sections
of the west. While 1t is not so stated, it
is to be presumed that the farms Of
these %colonists were the usual farms of
100 acres. Possibly they were larger,
but in any event the fact that 100 men
can go into a new country and in the
first year make $4,000 each is, to say
the least, remarkable.
1t is one of the beauties of irrigation,
1t insures a crop at all times. There may
be a shortage of water, but it is never
such as to cause a complete failure.
These Montana farmers were particu-
larly fortunate. They had an album
dance of water and the most favorable
climatic conditions for their first years
crop. Combined with these came a year
of good prices. They are a Woodworking
people. The eight-hour law, the ten
hour law or the ~twelve-hour law does
not apply to them. They probably work
every hour when they are not in bed,
but they enjoy the fruits Of their own
labor. They will in a few years be inde-
p%endently wealthy.
There should be a lesson in the expe-
rience Of these men to many a toiler in
the city, who finds the years end has
brought him no increase Of wealth.
With millions Of acres Of land which
has not yet felt the pillow, there is abun-
dant opportunity for the overcrowded
cities to pour out their surplus popula-
ton into the country where there ex-
lists a living, at least, for any man who
is willing to seek 1t.

The reply of the President to Profess
sor Schurman's cablegram. it is UNDER

have the peace negotiations concluded
at the earliest possible moment, and to
this end he desired that no unnecessary

lieved i'll Administration circles that as
soon as Aguinaldo is convinced of the
sincerity of the American Government
he will agree to surrender. He will be

letter of Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of

''No answer was made to this letter
except to send an official copy to the
Postmaster General, who issued in
structions to the postmaster at San
Francisco to hold the pamphlets. The
spirit and design of the pamphlets
will be indicated by a few extracts.

long to circle the lake to the south.
Thus the work of Lawton is holding the
rebels, some 5000 in number, to the
south, leaving Macarthur free from
danger of an attack in force from the
rear.
The report that the Filipinos were
trying to break through the American
lines is evidence to the War Department
that this force is becoming short of sup
plies.
1t is evidently General Otis intention
to remain on the defensive so long as
he can keep this force separate from the
main body of Aguinaldo. 1t is said
General Otis believes that he can starve
this southern army into submission.
Maate is a suburb of Manila near the

WHERE CUBA GETS HER RICE

Washington, May 5.-Consul General
Lincoln at Antwerp regards it as fact
worth reporting to the State Depart
ment that during the last quarter, more
than $500 worth of rice from the east
was exported from Antwerp to Cuban
ports. He says it would seem. in case
the Southern States cannot supply rice
to Cuba, that our merchants at least
should have some hand in procuring the
supply needed.
