WATER FOR
ARID LANDS
Good Tidings To Arid Plains
From Republican Plank.
SEN. WARREN OF WYOMING
Tells What Government Irrigation
Means To West and Whole Coun-
try.-prdCtlCdl Work Already
Begun.

Warren, before leaving for his home
in Wyoming, speaking Of the work OF
the national republican convention,
said:
THE platform adopted by the con-
vension conveys to the people of my
state, and of every western state and
given then. for many years. They are
in the declaration that In further
pursuance OF the constant policy of tn Q
republican party to provide free homes
on the pu bile domain, we recommend
adequate national legislation to re-
claim the arid lands of the United
States, reserving control of the dis =
tribution OF water for irrigation to the
respe Ctfve states and territOrtes.'
1.-The fact that the republic party
puts no idle words in its platforms and
redeems every promise it makes to the
fullest degree is appreciated in the west
and with the positive declaration of the
party committed to reclamation OF
the arid lands OF the country, all
doubts that this will be done, and done
speedily, are removed.
REPUBLICAN PRACTICAL WORK
Had 1 had such declaration to
back me up at the close of the fifty fifth
an appropriation for the building of
storage reservoirs in the west. success
would have been assured. With such
a declaration now as plank in the
platform of the republican party sue
cess is in sight, and L confidently be-
lieve that before the flfty-sixth con-
gress closes il will provide means for
the inauguration of q system of recla-
nation of our arid lands which will do
as much for the waterless west Is the
adoption of the homestead law did for
the middle west country.
The republican party has already
taken the preliminary steps in the
work of retaining the arid lands of
The west, and what IL has done ia of
such practical nature that substan
tial foundation is already established
upon which the work of reclamation
can be continued and be made Of last
ing material beD EFT to the east. The
first definite action taken toward
reclamation of arid lands by the
government was secured bv the
republican party in 1896 when
by the provisions of the liver and
harb) act, under section which
had the honor to present. an sppro-
priation of s., 900 was made for the

Last night at about ten O'Clock q

perhaps twenty-five men and boys.
He vas vicious looking snake and
fought hard for his life He would
coil and strike at his enemies until he

mashed with rocks. The snake didn't
die when he was killed, but continued
t. startle passers by until after mid

No one could be found to tell what

PROMISES FULFILLED.

"In addition to these investigations,
Congress has encouraged and sustained
by liberal ppropriation the work of
stream measuremepts and investigat ion
OF water resources of the country, con-
Quoted by the United States geological
survey, and the amount appropriated
by the congress just closed for this
work was 800, 900, an increase of $780,
600 over that of last year.
THE republican party. as 1 have
said, never makes promise it does not
fulfill, and l confidently anticipate
that at a very early day the practical
work of irrigation investigation under
Professor Mead, the cole tion of data
of water resources by the geological
survey of storage reservoir sites in
Wyoming and Colorado by Captain
Chit,eoden, will be followed by the
erection by the government,
on the headwaters of our
principal western rivers, of reservoirs
which will serve to reclaim millions of
acres of land now arid and useless,
and transform them lotto productive
farms. The Increase in value of land,
as soon a it is reclaimed and ia insur-
ed permanent water supply, ia enor-
nous; and with the waters of our west
ern rivers now running to waste fully
utilized, the growth that will come to
the west will be almost beyond COM
prehension."

"The examination thus provided for
WAS made by Captain 81. N. Chittenden,

made by him showed most convincingly
the practicability, utility and economy
of land reclamation by means of reser-

valuable contributed to the Information
upon this subject, and Is in so great
demand that the fifty-sixth congress
has directed that 5000 additional

taken in the ffty-ffth congress-, when

THE POLITICAL sITUA1lON
In STATE OF DELAWARE

From the Haverhill (Mass.) Gazette of Febru-
ary IA.
Much has been said by the Republi-
cans of Delaware as to their desire for
party unity. They are now reaping the
reward OF their own dishonest acts by
refusing, in the hour of victory, to live
up to their contract. At time when
their case seemed hopeless, when every
thing was in the hands OF their political
opponents; when Anthony Higgings'
term of office in the United States Senate
was nearing its close, the Republican
managers looked hither and yon for
some leader to pull them out OF the
slough of despond. The one man who
was willing to risk his means on the
waning chances OF the party who hailed
him as a good fellow, was the now
scorned "reprobate," j. Edward Ad-
dicks With his ample means he was
willing to throw himself into the breach;
but certain condition was attached to
his consent-the United States Senator
ship. The G. 0. Z, readily consented to
his proposition; a large amount OF Ad-
dicks mQn7y was expended for cam
paign purposes in Kent and Sussex
counties; the day was won; the political
chestnut was pulled out OF the fire, and
j. Edward Addicks asked for his share
OF the victory. But, no! Anthony flig
gins, now that victory was assured tC
the party, desired second term IL
Washington, and the &. O. p. had nj
further use for the man who had saved
it from a political grave. Unity in the
Republican party Of Delaware can never
be expected until that party fulfills it,
obligations made i'll time OF darkes
political need.
