to supply the lack of moisture. AS a
rule the smaller works, taking water
from the perennial streams a V not
only been successful, but sources Of
great profit to the owners; the larger
works, however, almost equally without
exception, have proven financial fall
ures. and their owners have become
bankrupt. The great works of reclaim
alton built in the hope of securing a GER
tain and permanent revenue drawn
from the farmer, have impoverished the
and the latter, unwillin9ly,
have become benefactors of the public.
The lesson is being slowly but GER
tainly taught, say this official, that re-
clamation on a large scale cannot be
made a source Of speculation except
under extraordinary combination of
circumstances. The great storage res
ervoirs and canals are comparable, in
one sense, to light houses and harbor
improvements; they are necessary and
worth far more than they cost, but I'M
der an existing state of civilization they
cannot be made to contribute eXclu-
siyely to the welfare of the builders.
The indirect gain, or unearned incre-
ment of value, is so widely diffused that
the general public reaps the largest re-
ward.

SUGAR BEET CULTURE.
1t Is Especially Well Adapted to Irrigated
lands,

The sugar beet is a plant especially
well adapted for growth on irrigated
lands. In order to ecure profitable re-
suits with the sugar beet, intensive Gull
ture is absolutely necessary. The care
full preparation of the land, the proper
fertilization thereof and the careful Gull
ture of the growing plant are three es-
sential points to success.
The water supply is the most impor-
tant meteorological condition connected
with beet growth, aside from the other
natural conditions which attend The
summer weather of temperate climates.
If the growing beet can be supplied
with the proper time, it's progress to-
wards maturity is never arrested and
there is no tendency for the plant to ri
pen pr~ematurely and afterwards under
go a second growth.
Experiments in Egypt have shown
that the sugar beet can be grown in
semi tropical climates with a high con-
tent of sugar, provided the water sup
ply be carefully controlled. There is no
other agricultural crop which will pro-
luce so large a return as the sugar beet.
Inasmuch as irrigated land is usually
worth from 5000 to $500 per acre, it is
absolutely necessary to grow a crop
thereon which will not only pay the
cost of growth, but also pay the fixed
charges which are attached to land of
the value mentioned above, and still
have enough money over to pay a profit
to the grower. Twelve tons of beets per
acre, are worth in round numbers $50,
and this sum would meet all the re-
uuirement above. On the other hand, If
the land were planted in wheat or In
dian corn, although the yield might be
satisfactory, the monied value of the
crops would be too little to pay the
charges mentioned.
Beet culture on irrigated lands can
be practiced over a wide area and 1t
crop which presents as hopeful an as
pect for our irrigated lands as the SUI
gar beet.
These lands, it must also be remem-
bered, contain quantities of soluble
salts. The sugar beet is pre-eminently
a mineral eating plant and a growth of
beets upon lands impregnated with SOL
uble salts will tend to remove them
from the soil and thus improve the
quality of the land thereby. The sugar
beet therefore, is confidently recon-
mended to all owners of irrigated lands
as a crop which promises the most a V
orable returns.

The Good That Lodges Do.

1t is the duty of every man, unless he
is of independent means, to belong to a
lodge or two and to have his life insur-
immense good done by these agencies;
the sorrow and the distress they have
lightened and the tears that they have
wiped away. There would probably be
a million more poor widows and chill
dren fighting against bitter want at the
end Of every ten years, were it not for
these great agencies for good, the lodge
and the insurance company. They are
all cooperative agencies, in a certain
sense, and socialistic in their nature,
and therefore truly belong to the peo-
pie.
An instance of the lodge spirit was
manifested right in Santa Fe this week.
A poor Sweede, without honey and
without friends in the territory, was
mangled by a train in this county and
killed. Under ordinary circumstances
he would have been buried where found,
his family would never have heard of
his fate and would always be in doubt
about his whereabouts. But an Odd
Fellows pin in the mans coat attracted
the attention of a passenger on a train.
He took charge of the body. 1t was
brought to Santa Fe. An Odd Fellows
certificate was the mean of identifying
the dead man, and ready lodge brethren
in this city at nee notified relatives
and the home lodge which made itself
responsible for the expenses of shipping
the remains to the mans dear ones and
giving them a decent burial. The lodge
will do more than that. 1t will look af-
ter the aged mother in Mississippi, and
if she is in want given her the means
to fight immediate want.
Thousands of such instances of doing
good by lodges never come to the pub
lie attention. There are many men in
this western country who are supported
by lodges until they have regained their
health, who otherwise would have died
in the east of consumption. The best
investment that any young or old man
can make is to join some fraternal or
g%anization and to insure in some life in
surance company. Days of sickness
and need are sure to come and If they
come to a man or family unprepared
for them they mean sorrow and desti-
tuition.

A Village Blacksmith Saved His Little

years old, has always been subject to
Group, and so bad have the attacks been
that we feared many times that he
would die. We have had the doctor and
used many medicines, but Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is 10Y our sole re-
lance. 1t seems to dissolve the tough
mucus and by giving frequent doses
when the croupy syptoms appear we
have found that the dreaded Group Is

GOVERNMENT RESERVOIRS.
They Would Benefit the Public at Large
and Not Merely Local Interests.

In speaking of the redemption of the
arid lands by means of government res
ervoirs, +. H. Newell, photographer Of
the United States, says the greatest en-
envy to progress in this direction lies
not in opposition but in ignorance or in
difference. He says one-third of the
whole country exclusive of Alaska and
outlying possessions, is vacant and at
the disposal of congress. For the most
part it is open to homestead entry and
settlement, and much of 1t consists of
land of great fertility, except for the
lack of water.
There is ample water for the redemp-
ton Of a considerable portion of his
arid land, if it could all be saved and
put to use. Attempts have been made

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-

Two TyDes of Officials.

A public official is often judged by
what he does not do rather than by
what he does. Very few officials are so
placed that they Fan do any remarkable
deeds of yalor or beneficence so al to
make their names heralded abroad as
heroes or philanthropists. But officials
can be honest. they can be attentive to
public business, they can make extra
efforts to promote the welfare of the
people whom they serve. 1t is these
homely, yet rare qualities in an official,
which make him superior to those Off
triguing against those stationed higher
in public life, who dip their pens in
wormwood and gall under a nom-de-
plume, in order to denounce n be-
smirch the character of official servants
who are honestly striving to do their
duty; who owe their office to n party
and yet secretly work into the hands of
the opposition party; who are discour-
teous to some people although they
should be the servants of all people;
who foment strife and encourage fac
tons; who have but a sheer for the
people among whom they are placed
and contempt for those whom it is their
duty to serve. The two types of Off
Gals can readily be recognized. The
latter fellow may appear more brilliant
and deem himself smarter and superior
to the other, but it is the first one who
does the things thai go towards good
government and the prosperity of a
people. 1t is the first type that is rep
resented by President Mckinley and it
is the latter class which should not
hold public office for it is utterly I'm
fitted by temperament and education
to administer a public trust.
