The rise of Judson w. Lyons to the
nieporlioRs of factor in our national
affairs has been natural, progressive
and logical. Having been ushered In
+, life near the geographical center OF
tbs colored population Of this country,
he was admirably placed for seeing his
neople in all their relations and activi
lies. His educsti was another element
that tended put him into complete sym
psthy with the struggles ana slriVlngs
Of hjs race, He was educated in com

race and hence early became acqualnt.
ed with their nbitions, hopes and as
pirationg. 1t Is an immense advantage
to a leader to know his people from
the very beginning Tlis advantage
Mr. Lyons has, and it a, counts IN no
small MT asure for the wonderful sue
cess he has achieved in dealing with
questions sffec.ing their welfare, and
for the confidence and esteem in Which
he is held by them.
When President Mckinley appointed
Mr.. Lyons to be Register OF the Tr cas-
ury SIS lf1e successor Of former Senator
Bruce, those who were Mr.. Lyons in
timate acquaintance had every conf
denCe in his ability and tact to meet
the responsibilities that were to con-
front hiI in his exalted position; 9TH
ers who knew him not so well or not
at all, expressed doubts, snd began to
conjecture. Now all unite in saying
that he makes an ideal public official.
There are three points about Mr.
Lyons that stamp himas leader worthy
Of support and c1nfidence. Above all,
and first Of all, there is his answering
adherence to truth and square dealing
He is exceedingly cautious and chary
about making promises, but when he
promises, his word is as good as his sig
nature on the currency of the govern.
ment. He deals square]y and fairly by
all who commit their interests to his
hands, and never seeks to nislead or
confuse by equivocation, indirection or
CiICumIocution. When aman has once
had an understanding with Mr.. Lyons,
he knows exactly what to depend up
on.
In the second place, there is his capa-
city for dealing with complex and deli
cate questions. Take two illustrations
from recent events. First, there is the
enlistment Of the 4sth and 49th colored
regiments of Infantry for service in the
philippines. MIR. Lyons conceived and
conducted TO q successful issue the plan
Which resulted IN the enlistment of col.
ored men and the appointment of col
ored officers to command them. 1t was
shreWd manuevering and careful calcu'
l"uhg that brought to the race a re-
suit Which mas given such universal
pleasure and satisfaction, and Mr.. Lyons

A committee from the National Ir-
rigation Association yesterday called
upon President Mckinley and Secre-
tary Hitchcock to present the demands
of the Irrigation Congress. The COM
mittee was met more than half way by
the president and there is no question
but that be will make strong RECON-
mendations to Congress in his annual
message, There is no politics in the
irrigation proposition of government
aid in storing the water and there is
actually no opposition to the PROPOSE
ton from any source Representa-
tive Shafroth OF Colorado has pre-
pared bill ON the subject which will
be presented to Congress as soon as
it convenes and will probably be the
basis of action.
While MIR. Shafroth's bill contains
some provisions which are new, the
main idea is the same as set forth in
the resolutions adopted by the Irrige
ton Congress. The bill provides that
the geological survey shall make sur
veys of four reservoir sites in each of
the arid land states and repor1 cost
of construction and area each will
irrigate. That sites may be with.
drawn from public entry and the res
ervoirs, If pronounced practable, be
constructed by contracts to be let by
the secretary Of the interior, the con:
tracts in any one state not to exceed
81, 100000. That California, Colora-
do, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nc
vada, Utah, Montana and Wyoming
shall be considered arid land states.
Also that the lands irrigated from
these reservoirs shall be subject to
homestead entry, but an additional
price to homestead requirements shall
be paid for by entrymen at tho rate
of S2. 80 an acre and each entryman
be limited 20 eighty acres. The
management of each reservoir is to
be in the entrymen taking the lands
under it. :; The bill appropriates ss,-
900, 900 for carryina Its provisions
into effect.

Last Saturday the ExAA1NER
scribe was astonished beyond hea-
sure, when Nels Nelson, Jr, and
Anton Madsen, both of Bloc1hing-
ton, walked into our sanctum and
dumped out on the editors table a
basket of the choicest fruit we eyer
eaw. The sample consisted of sums
,ner and winter apples, sweet and
sour crab apples, green gage plums
and pears, and they were all raised
In Bloomington, Bear Lake county.
The display was simply an eye
opener to those who have not taken
occasion to visit Bear Lakes or
chards. Both the gentlemen named
have this year had good crops of
fruit and they are SO well pleased
that they have set out many more
trees this.sss9faeRson;.
That thfs valley IS proving to be
great apple and pear section, in
particular, we are now, and have
been convinced. The wonder is
that more orchards are not put in,
especially on the foot hills. Bear
Lake ought not to be compelled to
buy an apple outside, and it won't
in few years to come. Messrs
Nielsen and Madsen have our thanks
for their gift.
