Senator Shoup AGAINST the Lease Law.

Senator Shoup Of Idaho Is unalterably
lands to the cattle kings. He says: II
am unalterably opposed to the plan
which proposes the leasing of the gov
eminent land to corporations for n
west depends upon the settlement of ag-
ricultural and grazing lands by bona
fde settlers. Leasing such lands would
result in postponing the day when these
lands will be taken up and occupied by
h~omeseekers. Idaho would never be
benefited by the leasing system, as the
state desires residents who will become
a part of the body polite, and whose
interests will be identical with those Of
the people who now make up the popu-
lation of Idaho. I do not believe that
congress will do anything to assist in
p%ostponing the day when the fertile
acres of the state will be cultivated, and
I certainly will use all the influence I
possess to prevent the acquisition Of
any of the grazing lands by any of the
corporation interests, either for tempo
rary or permanent use"
What Senator Shoup says of Idaho
applies to New Mexico, which desires
bona 1de settlers to take up the gov
eminent land. Senator Shoup, who Is an
ardent advocate Of statehood for New
Mexico, is generally on the right side of
a question when western affairs are
concerned,

Railroad BuiIdinQ.

A comparison of the miles of railroad
built in the United States during 1899
shows hal New Mexico Is one Of the
leaders as far as the number Of miles
of track laid are concerned. 1t ranks
twelfth in that respect out of forty-five
states and territories. A total of 4 5S7, 95
miles of track was laid in the country.
Iowa leads with 572 miles. while Mime
sofa is second, with 1858 miles. Arkan-
sas third with 269 miles, and
Pennsylvania fourth with 27 miles.
Then comes California with 172 miles,
Michigan 165 miles, Idaho 1874 miles,
Louisiana 100 miles, Oklahoma 1856
miles. Georgia 155 miles, Alabama 147
miles, New Mexico 1888 miles, MISSISSIPPI
pi 1876 miles, and South Carolina 1874
miles. In Canada there were 500 miles
Of new road built IN twenty-one lines,
and in Mexico 255 miles on ten lines. For
1900 over SO. 900 miles of railroad are pro-
jected, and more than one-third of that
Is to be built in the southwest. This
mileage exceeds by 1900 miles the pro-
jected lines in other sections Of the
country, the south Atlantic states COM
ing second with 1882 miles Of projected
railroads. That this will mean an I'M
precedented growth for the southwest
can be reasonably expected, and men
who invest their capital now in enter
prises In the southwest are certain to
reap big rewards in the hear future.

Woman's Rule.

Woman s~uffragists will hardly admit
that rules in the world, though
she does not possess the franchise. But,
nevertheless, the majority of people in
the world are ruled by women, both lit
orally and figuratively. The empress of
China rules over 400, 900, 900 people;
Queen Victoria has $50, 900, 900 subjects;
the young queen of the Netherlands is
monarch of %, 900, 900 people, and the
queen regent of Spain rules 10000, 900.
These four women, therefore, exercise
dominion over $685. OO, 900 people. or two
thirds of the population of the earth.
The United States is probably more
thoroughly woman ruled than any Of
these countries. The clever wife man.
ages her husband SO cleverly hat he
will do her bidding at all times; the av-
erage girl has as her most devoted slave
some admirer, and everywhere in this
broad land where culture and refine
ment exist there woman reigns SUI
preme. What more of a kingdom does
woman want?

A Rich County.

San Juan county is in the throes of a
gold excitement. Placer gold has been
found heretofore along the San Juan
river, but work lately done on that
about seven miles from Farming
has demonstrated that gold exists
in paying quantities and apparently in
large deposits In that section. With Its
unparalleled agricultural resources,
with plenty of water and sunshine, with
coal oil wells about to be drilled, with
coal mines in almost every precinct.
with an energetic, progressive popula-
ton, and with gold and copper now be-
ing added to its resources, San Juan
county is a small empire in itself, and
the sooner the rest of New Mexico gets
railroad connection with that county SO
rich in resources, the better for the ter
ritory's future growth and prosperity.

from his horses, unloads his family
from the wagon and says: 1T is here
we stay" And he or his children are
still there, but with what a difference!
With sturdy arm he turned h river
from It's bed. He carried it's waters
broadcast upon the drouth-stricken
land until it cried enough" for fear
of drowning. The grain, the grass, the
trees sprang up as If by magic. In the
midst of all there came a home such as
the wife had dreamed of. About this
home came others, then churches,
schools, libraries, and then they called
1t a town. Then came the railroad, but
in all this prosperous hurry and hustle
there was no such real Joy as when the
hardy and adventurous founder of that
town first saw the waters Of that river
slowly spreading owe the scorched
earth and filling each crack and Granny
until it AN over into the next one, for
this all came from the labor of his hand,
and the result was beautiful to look
upon.

The Outlook tor November.

The Democrats are already figuring
upon what states they will carry in No
vember. They should remember that
the following states are certain to give
Republican majorities: California,
Iowa, Maine. Massachusetts. Minneso-
ia, New Hampshire. Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, New Jersey, Vermont,
Illinois. Indiana, Michigan, New York,
Ohio. Oregon and Wisconsin, with a to-
tai electoral vote Of 234, or more than
sufficient to re-elect Mckinley. But
then the following states can hardly be
classed as doubtful: Connecticut. Della
ware, Kansas. Nevada, North Dakota,
South Dakota. Washington and Wyo-
ming. with thirty-six more electoral
votes, while In Kentucky, West vir-
ginia, Maryland, Nebraska. West vir-
ginia. Colorado. Idaho, Montana and
Utah the Republicans have more than
a fighting chance. This would leave the
Democrats only 129 electoral votes. of
which they are reasonably sure, count
ing the states of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia. Louisiana, MISSISSIPPI
pi. Missouri, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and vir-
ginia as being Democratic. This GER
tainly Is not a rosy prospect for the
Democratic party for 1900, or even 1904,
for the census Of 1900 will deprive a
number of the strongly Democratic
southern states of their present cleo
toral strength, while It will increase the
electoral votes of strongly Republican
states, which are generally the pro-
gressive and growing states of the
country. By that time, too, New Mexico,
Arizona and Oklahoma will be in the
Union, with New Mexico and Oklahoma
to be added to the Republican column,
and Arizona doubtful.

ROMANCE In IRRIGATION.
A Poetic View Of Life In the Arid and
semi-Arid Regions,
(Kansas City Starr

(kansas City Starr
There Is a romantic side to the irri-
cation of land which can only be appre-
ciated by those who have, through their
labor, caused the arid plains to burst
into greenery, flower and fruit. 1t must
have been upon the irrigator-upon him
who caused two blades of grass to grow
where n grew ~before-that the bless
ing was called down, for 1t is he who
accomplishes this miracle more than
the man who spends his time in dry
weather praying for rain and In wet
weather praying that the rain may
cease.
In the western arid and semi-arid
country the few streams flow h%urriedly,
as though to escape the heat and dust
sea, or moister climates, where the
suns rays are not so greedy of the river
beds precious burden. On either side
the rolling land stretches away for
sparse and harsh. Great reaches of
bare ground tell Of the unsuccessful
struggle of life against the deadly
drouth. The sky Is always blue and
no intimation of pity. The nights come
cold and dewy, but the gentle moisture
of the darkness Is but a rehabilitation,
for al the first peep of the brazen sun

noon even the meadow lark and the
grasshopper succumb to It's d%iscounte-
nancing stare and give no sign of vital
ity.
In the winter the cold is sharp. the
driven snow finds no Judgment, and rus
ties over the ground with the noise of
dead leaves stirred by the wind. From
the north there Is no refuge, and on the
blasts of winter have full scope for their
terrible play. All life is gone. 1t Is a
world apparently dead.
From over the edge of that low east
wagon OF one of the early spring days.
1t is dragged along by wearied horses
that have lost all ambition except to
reach a camping place. 1t Is driven by
a man whose face Is drawn in anxious
but determined lines, and his glance is
always far ahead along the road he is
making for himself. In the wagon is a
tired woman whose dream is of a home,
a place to stay for more than one night.
With her are the children with curiosi-
ty and hope in their sunburned faces,
and with little thought that they, in
years to come, will hold the honored
place of pioneers in the minds of the
neighbors yet to come.
The wagon reaches the low bank Of
the swiftly moving river. The mans
face lights up with eagerness. 1t is here
he will build for himself and those with
him. He looks not to the sky above
him for the water, for there it Is in the
river before him. He needs but a glance
at the river bank to tell him the story
of the deep and fertile loan and the
splendid subsoil. He strips the harness

Surveyors of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad are reported to be sur
veying a route from Durango to the
Grand Canon In Arizona. The proposed
railroad will pass Aztec, Pennington,
cross the Navajo Indian reservation, on
which there are immensely rich copper
propositions owned by Pittsburg people,
and then cross the northeastern corner
Of Arizona to a connection with the
Grand Canon railroad from Williams,
now being completed. This will give
Pennington and Aztec their long hoped
for railroad. but its benefits, as far as
New Mexico is concerned, will be vast
" less than II 1t we're built from Du-
range to Albuquerque. The proposed
railroad would ALLEVIATE the trade Of San
Juan county from New Mexico, and
San Juan county people will seem more
like q Colorado colony than ever before.
