Very Humorous.

Private Fordney of the
Twenty-frst United States in.
fantry writes home to his rela-
tives and says: "This is a very
funny war. The Americans
take a place and then leave it
for the 'niggers to come back
and take it again"
1t is a very funny war. Otis
cables one day that the back
bone of the rebellion is broken.
Then he falls back from a cap
tured point because he has not
troops enough 10 hold it. and
watches the Philippine soldiers
again take possession.
One day Otis cables that he
has plenty of troops, and the
next day the president calls for
the organization of a dozen or
more new regiments for service
in the Philippines.
One day Otis cables that the
Filipino army has been dis
persed, and the next day he ca
bles that one of his generals
has just had desperate battle
with an army of 5000 Filipinos
One day some perfervid pat
riot declares that the flag must
remain where it has been raised,
and the next day Otis hauls it
down from a town and retires
a few miles, and not word OF
censure is heard from the per
fervid patriots.
It is very funny war-to all
save the soldiers who are forced
to fight it and the parents and
friends of those same soldiers.
To them it is not so funny.

Soldiers returning from Ma
Mia tell some astounding things
in regard to the manner in which
General Otis has conducted the
campaign. A prominent officer
of the Colorado regiment just
returned, whose name is with
held, from the fact, that he has
not yet been mustered out of the
service, is reported as having
used the following language in
San Froncisco:
II have been going around
saying Otis is all right or [ don t
know anything until I am sick.
From feelings of patriotism the
officers of the regiment have
agreed to keep still until we are
out of the service. [ can tell
you, however, that it is crime
to keep such man as Otis IN
charge of the armies in the Phil
lippines. The newspapers nave
roasted him good and hard but
they have not said halt enough.
What do you think of a man who
will furnish provisions for the
enemy he is fighting. That is
what Otis is doing. [ have seen
receipts for 5000 pounds of pro
visions, mostly canned goods,
which were ordered delivered to
hungry natives at Maraquin,
and a few days later we saw the
same cans in the trenches from
which we had just driven the
insurgents. That did not hap

We are afraid that Inspector
General Breckenridge is going
to get himself in trouble with

standing his experience in con-

he still seems to be under the
impression that the function of
the Inspector generals depart
ment is to inspect. Nothing
could be further from the fact
under the present system.

with Spain several gentlemen
that he had and we know of
would be very poor today in

A Suggestion
To Those Interested and Who Would
be the Greatest Beneficiaries.
army

The great consideration in the
permanent growth and future
prosperity of Winslow is the
solution of the water problem.
That there is an abundance of
living water in close proximity
to our town to reclaim 5000 or
100000 acres, and still allow the
railroad company as much or
more water than it is now using,
is a fact so well established that
none dare dispute. That it can
be easily. safely and Cheaply
impOunded, is fact equally as
patent. The two streams
Chevelon and Clear Creek
would furnish an unlimited sup
ply of water, if thrown togeth-
er; or, if the waters were care
fully husbanded and used on
contiguous land separately.
Greater results could possibly
be obtained. however. by con-
Meeting the two streams. Dur
ing the fall, winter and early
spring. the surplus water could
be run into Tucker S draw, west
of Winslow, which is natural
reservoir site, capable Of hold
ing a body of water that would
irrigate from 10000 to 10000
acres Of land, The land below
this site is rich, sandy bottom
on which almost any crop could
be grown with certainty and
profit
Those who are conversant
with such works and familiar
with the lay of the country, es-
innate that dams could be con-
struCted, and the waters OF both
streams thrown together, dam
built in Tucker S draw, and con-
verting bitches run for S1OO, 900.
This would reclaim, at the low
est estimate $4,000 acres OF fer
tile land. This land could be
readily sold for ten dollars an
acre, after it is under an irriga-
ting ditch.
The railroad company, accord
ing to common report, has spent
three or four times that amount
west of this place on dams and
reservoirs, which have proven
of no practical benefit to them
so far, nor is it likely to benefit
them in the future. A great deal
less amount spent in impound-
inc the living waters above re-
ferred to would have enabled
them to sell lands which would
have returned them three-quar-
ters of a million dollars on an
investment of say 100000 at
the outside Beside they would
derive an annual income from
the sale of water, at a reaSOna-
BILE figure, that would pay a
handsome interest on the sum
expended and the business of
the road would necessarily be
greatly increased.
AS practical business prop
OsitiOn, we cannot see why the
road has not taken hold of this
proposition and pushed it to
completion long ago. The COM
pany would receive greater ben
efts from it that any other com
bination of capital and still re-
tain control of the water. 1t
would enable them to dispose of
lands from which they receive
no benefit. but are an annual
expense and Will continue an ex-
f., pense until water is conveyed

COTTON STATES CONVENTION.
Commissioners of Agriculture VIII
Meet in New Orleans.

Atlanta, Ga, July 3.-The convention
of commissioners of agriculture from the
cotton growing States OF the South, which
was agreed on at a recent conference be-
tween Commissioner Stevens and President
]. Pope Brown of the agricultural society.
VIII be held. unless the present arrange
ment is abandoned, in Kew Orleans on or
about September l.
The object OF the meeting is a general
discussion OF the cotton industry OF the
South. A uniform law to govern the
classification OF cotton will be considered.
The suggestion of holding the convention
in New Orleans about September / proved
agreeable to all the commissioners, except
the North Carolina official. who stated that
his preference of place of meeting would
be Memphis, which he considered more
centrally located than New Orleans. The
practical unanimity OF the commissioners
in favor of New Orleans means that unless
some unforeseen reason develops. the
meeting will be held in the Crescent City
