calls in The Ladies' Home Journal "a

1t is very gratifying indeed to
the management of THE TRIBUNE

THE ARID LAND PROBLEM

11E ARlD LAND PROBLEM-
A Washington correspondent of
the Louisville Courier-Journal
makes a vicious attack on Tie pro-
position of Senator Warren, incor-
porated in the river and harbor
bill. providing for the storing of
the waters in his state by the CON
struction of reservoirs. He goes
on to say that while the main Oh
iect is the Improvement of the
navigation of the Missouri and
Mississippi rivers incidental there
to the water will be used for irri-
CATION purposes. Even such ma
tionalists as Daniel Webster
George Evans and Zack Chandler
he declares would be staggered by
the proposition.
But the brilliant correspondent
goes even farther, aud argues
against what he declares to be an
unconstitutional provision on the
ground that it will result in fur
ther competition for the Western
farmer.
The western farmer is not OBJ
iecting to the scheme, indeed he
favors it, or some other plan which
will bring the vast undeveloped re-
gion under cultivation. 1t is the
most productive land under the
sun when once watered and the
farmer will not only be assured of
a crop, but larger and more prof
table one than on lands that are
not in the arid region. The al
ready too extensive wheat belt of
which he writes exists only in the
Imagination. Colorado farmers
have not found it difficult to raise
wheat at profit. The San Luis
valley is filled with farms which
grow wheat at profit, Northern
Colorado does not know what fail
ure means and the crop has not
been found Improbable, The
western farmer will take care of
himself and will risk the competi-
ton which so worries the Courier
journal correspondent if he can
get chance to raise wheat on n
Colorado farm.
AS to the proposition to vote
money to reclaim the arid lands
it is no more vicious than to vote
money to dredge the streams of
Kentucky or build breakwaters
along the water front at Galveston
or Charleston or Boston. Denver

DISASTROUS PRAIRIE FIRE.
Everything Destroyed in its Path-Mrs.
Roila Livingston and Her Son
Burned to Death.

CoLERIDeE, Neb., May IA prairie
fire burning in the hay fats at Onlong,
the northern tier of the county, ten
miles from this place Sunday after
noon, passed into the track of a tor
nado and was swept with the speed Of
the wind diagonally across this county
for 25 miles, destroying every
thing in its path. The only
lives lost, as far as known,
were those of Mrs. Rolla Livingston
and her five-year-old boy. The woman
saw the fire coming and ran to pas
ture to release the family stock. The
boy followed her. Both were knocked
down by the terrified animals. The
fire passed over them before they could
get out of the way. The body of the
boy was almost consumed and Mrs.
Livingston lived but a few hours.
A great many cattle were overtaken
and burned. A large number of farm
houses were destroyed, and the famil-
les escaped by seeking refuge beyond
the track of the storm. The path Of
the fire was nearly one mile wide.
Some of the losses are: Rolla Liv.
ingston, $4,000: Stanley Martin. $780,
600; David Walker, $4,000; Isaac
Pritchell. $4,000; w. A. Bennett, IS. 600;
Joseph Hodgkin, saO,O 900; VIM. Weber,
Ss5, 600; James Parsons, 800 head Of
stock, etc, $4,000; VIM. Zook, large
number of horses and cattle, $40, 600.
