fRRlGATloN's FUTURE.
Professor Ewood Mead Discusses the
 Problem of Western Reclamation.

The Rise and Future of Irrigation in the United States is the title of an in- teresting article from the pen of Prof. Elwood Mead in the Agricultural Year book, just issued.
 The earliest pathway of civilization on the American continent, says Prof. Mead, led along the banks of the streams. h various parts of the Southwest, notably in the Salt River Valley of Arizona, in northern New Mexico, and along the southern borders of Colorado and Utah are well-dedned remains of irrigation works 5vhich have outlived by many ceuturi4a the civilization to which they belonged. In Ut least one instance the bank of an ancient canal has been utilized as part of modern works.
 Riding up the valley of the Rio Grande, in the first half of the six. teenth century, spani sh explorers found in the midst of arid surround ings beds of beautiful roses, 'snot un- like those in the gardens of Castile, ? as they noted in their diaries. They also found Pueblo ILdians irrigating the thirsty soil. as their efathers had done for centures before them and as their descendants are still doing to- day. In this valley and along the tributary streams, and at other places in the desert wastes of the Southwest, Spanish settlements sprang up and maintained themselves by means of these lifegiving waters. The ditches at Las Cruces, N. Nj, have an unbroken record Of three hundred years of ser vice. the history of which is written iu the banks of the canals and in the fields irrigated. This is due to the sediment with which the waters of the Rio Grande are laden. Year after year this has slowly added layer on layer to the sides and bottoms of these ditches, until from being channels cut below the surface of the soil they are now raised or 3 feet above. It is here that one can yet find agriculture almost as primitive as that of the days of Pharaoh, where grain is reaped with the sickle and threshed by the trampling of goats.

The Idaho outrases.
lFrom .he New Rnglanl penoeral.l

iFrom tho New England Demoerat,l
 During the investigation by spc- cial committee of congress of the out rages in the Idaho mining district, the Cnur d'Alene investigation, the republican majority on tho committee refused to let in testimony that might iniure the administration and ruled out questions of the democratic mem bers. Attorneys coached the witnesses who were favorable to the administra- ton, some of them being Standard Oil attorneys. The majority report, of course, favored the administration. That is what it was expected to do. The minority report has only recently been made public. It is signed by Representative J. J. Lentz, of Ohio, and P. J. Otey, of Virginia. It is con cluded in unexceptionable language and sets forth a situation that can .on- ly be viewed with alarm. Its main features may be summarized as follows:
 The president of the United States has kept and is still keeping soldiers in that community, and by so doing is upbolding a tyrannieal course of con duct pursued by the governor of Idaho.
 The minority points five fragrant. in- stances of abuse of power and viola ton of law by General Merriam, the 1 commander of the troops.
 l. General Merriam sent on May 3, about l60 troops to the town of Burke, and arrested, without warrant, the entire male population of that town, consisting of about 300 persons. It was an outrage upon the liberty of the citizens, which has no parallel in the annals of this country.
 | 2. Ueneral Marian sent detach- ment of troops into the state of Mon. tana, for the purpose of arresting ] fugitiyes from Idaho, an inexcusable use. of arbitrary power by General Merriam.
 5. Lieutenant Lion, actlng upoI orders by superior officers, by threat; of violence forced certain citizens te work in the Tiger min' against their will. No such flagran invasion of the right of the citizen cal be cited in the history of this country
 4. Major Smith suppressed thu Mullen Mirror, newspaper published at Mullen, thus denying free speecl and free press. This was g ros violation of law wholly unjustified.
 5. The permit system, in fact black list system, approved by Gen eral Merriam and kept in operation t this day by the presence of the mill tary forces of the United States, is ] violation of law which cannot be de fined.
 In summing up the minority sa they are satisfied from the eyieenc adduced before the committee tha General Merriam was wholly mistake as to his powers and duties; that Iii conduct has resulted in the gravest II

juries to the liberty of the citizens and the rights of individuals. Innocent men have been kept in prison for months without trial and have been finally discharged without any charges being preferred against them.
 "At. one time or another there were over l,000 men in the prison ut Ward ner, known as the bull pen.' They were kept there many months. They were not charged with any crime they were held and g uarded by United States troops. It was the duty of General Merriam and of the president of the United States to inquire into the causes and reasons for the deten- tion of so many American citizens. No such inquiry was ever made. Such indifference is hard to understand and harder to excuse.
 1.-The plea that General Merriam was acting at the requeat of the gov crnor of Idaho and his state represen- tative, Bartlett Sinclair, is not good. Neither the governor nor Sinclair had the right to violate the law. And General Merriam knew it, or should have known it.
 "Although the governor of Idaho has for year and more been govern ing Shoshone county by martial law, he has never called the legislature to- gether the laws of Idaho provide that a session of the legislature can be called on twenty days notice. The minority hold that the president is not justified in keeping United States soldiers indefinitely in shoshone county at the mere will of one man when the legislature, representative of the people, could have and ought to be convened and their wishes ascer tained.n

 KELVIN, Ariz., Jnly 14th.
 The tearing down of the British flag on July 4th for 9 while assu med serious proportions, and it was feared that it might bring about iuternation- al difficulties, that England might have to recall her troops from South Africa and order them at once to Kelvin, on the banks of the raging Gila.
 Happily this has all been averted by arbitration, and 8 mutual under standing that it was only Fourth of July spiritual inspiration Of the Kelvin brand that set the wheels to work in the brain of an impulsive person to a very unduly patriotic degree, only that and nothing more.
 The tranquility of the English gentlemen was not greatly disturbed over. the event, as on that evening they slipped their champagne in their beautiful club house and smiled com placently at the prospective great out put of the Ray Copper company.
 Mir. Foley was the hero of the hour only championed by the writer, and both will receive substantial recogni- tion from Queen Victoria just as soon as the incident is thoroughly inves- tigated and a reliable report is fur nished her majesty.
 Life goes on apaee ut Kelvin very much as it does at other new mining camps in various parts of the world, a little rough and tumble to persons from Boston, London, Florence and other great centres of culture and re. fnement. Yet the celebration of July 4th brought out an assemblage of peo- ] pie that would do credit to places ot many years older growth. It demon strated the fact that Q good represents tive class of people are making and going to make Kelvin their perma nent home.
 MT. George Truman was the goldeI tongued orator of the day and made us all feel as proud of his oratorical abili ties as his gallant exploits US rougl rider in the service of his country.
 Judge Marshall and Bill Zent provet themselves the right men in the righ place in originating and carrying through the whole affair to success ful finale as they do everything els they undertake to do in life.
