Perfect HARMONY.

President Mckinley and Governor
Roosevelt are in perfect accord. Gov
ernor Roosevelt is not above seeking
the advice Of President Mckinley, who,
owing to his age and his experience of
four years in the presidential chair
during momentous times is we'll fitted
to guide the energies of a thorough and
typical American like Governor Roose-
welt, This harmony between the chief
executive and his running mate on the
presidential ticket does not suit the De-
mocracy nor fulfill the prophecies it
made, but it is a joy and a hope to the
Republicans, hat augurs we'll for an
other four years Of the strongest and
most prosperous administration that
this nation ever had,

Rival Cities.

There has been a long standing ri
valry between st. Paul and Minneapolis
which has been decided in favor of
Minneapolis as far as growth and pop
ulation are concerned. The census fig
ures for 1900. just given out, still fur
Their increase the gain hat Minneapolis
has made upon st. Paul since 1880, when
each of the two cities had a little over
5000 population. Now Minneapolis
has 2O2, 718, and st. Paul 1853, 632 inhabi-
tants. The two cities, however, have al
most grown together, and another dec
ade may see them consolidated into a
city of 400 900 to 500, 200 inhabitants.
The most remarkable thing about the
result of the census in those cities is
that while from 1880 to 1890 they grew
some 300 per cent, from 1890 to 1900 they
increased only % per cen in popula-
ton. Truly. the United States will
have to encourage foreign immigration
instead of discouraging it, If it wants
to keep up the pace in numerical growth
that it has set in the past decades.

among our best and most productive
lands, yielding forty 80 sixty bushels
of wheat per acre, and other things in
proportion. These lands were so
strongly impregnated with the worst
form of alkali, the s~o-called black aka
grass and similar vegetation wGuid
grow on them.
I'VE have found that the best crop
for reclaining such land is white clo-
yer. 1t will grow where nothing else
of value will, and it takes up the al
kali until the ground is fit for growing
other crops. 1t is better than beets for
this purpose and will grow where the
alkali is too strong for beets. Sweet
clover is also very valuable as a honey
plant, and we grow it largely for bee
feed"
Mr.. Smith stated that Mormon colo
nists in Arizona had similar experience
in the reclamation of alkali lands by
cropping with sweet clover. Where
plenty of water is available, the lands
are also flooded and the alkali washed
out as far as possible, the washing pro-
cess being repeated in successive years.
STORAGE RESERVOIRS.
Regarding the solution of the prob
lem of securing water for irrigation,
the building and maintenance of res
ervoirs and canals, and the equitable
distribution of water from veal to year,
Mr.. Smith said:
"Wha troubles your people most in
their efforts to secure water does not
trouble us at all. You have to have a
combination of capital, great invest
ments of money, in order to store and
distribute the water. We do not go at
it that way. We combine our labor.
With us it is labor instead of money
that does these things. Labor is our
capital. We are a people bound to-
gether by religious faith and church
organization. When our people start
a colony they unite their labor and
their interests, and they build dams
| and canals and divide the water equit-
ably among the people who have sup
piled the labor. Little or no money
is seen at any point in the process.
THUS they get their water without
the expenditure of money, without is
suing bonds, without borrowing or pay
ing interest, without paying cash for
water rights or paying an annual price
IN nonnnv fop thair yUafar Tho oanoIS
are maintained from year to year by
assessments of labor. If the community
Is too small to do all that is needed at
once, they make a beginning and go on
with the work as they can.
LABOR AS CAPITAL.
"Our farmers could not thrive if
they had to pay cash for their water
rights and for the delivery of water.

A P0DuIjstic Wranuje

The Populists will probably experience
another split over the nomination of a
to Towne. The middle of the
road crowd may get as companions a
left side of the road and right side of
the road party, more bitter toward each
other than they are against the other
parties. But split or no split, the
Populists will this year not carry a
single state in their W name and they
are bound to go the way of the Know
nothing, anti-MaSonic and other freak
parties that for a time enjoyed some
popularity, but lasted only a few years
and now are only remembered by the
historian who delves into the details of
American history.

Call for a Republican Terri
tOrial Convention.

A delegate convention of the Repub-
lican voters Of the Territory of New
Mexico is hereby called to meet in the
city of Santa Fee at ten o'clock in the
morning on Wednesday, the third of
October, 1900, for the purpose of placing
in nomination a candidate from New
Mexico to the 57th Congress, and to
transact such other business as may
properly come before the said conven-
ton.
The Republican electors of this terri
tory and all those who believe in the
principles of the Republican party and
in its policies as announced in the Ma
tional Republican platform adopted by
the Republican National Convention
leld in the City of Philadelphia, June 10,
1900, who believe in and endorse state
hood for the Territory Of New Mexico
and favor an honest, fair and just ad-
ministration of public affairs in this
territory. are respectfully and cordially
asked to unite under this call to take
part in the selection of delegates to the
Territorial Convention.

Should Get Touether.

The Quay followers and the anti-Quay
Republicans Of Pennsylvania should
get together. There Is 10 danger of
Pennsylvania going Democratic, but the
personal fight in the ranks Of Pennsyl-
vania Republicans is unpleasant to the
president, and is regarded with some-
thing like nausea by the Republicans in
other states. Two or three first-class
funerals might help along the pacifca-
ton very much, for it is only two or
three leaders who stand in the way of
unity in the Republican ranks in Penn
s%ylvania. The same might be said of
the Republican party in Delaware,
where the Dupont followers are willing
to make peace with the Addicks men,
only that In Delaware harmony Is nee
essary to carry the state for Mckinley
in November.

formation is added that the speech will
give trusts and the prevailing prosI err
ity a black eye, and that the speech will
contain only 1000 words. This pref m
mary announcement should frighten
trusts and prosperity into fits, and they
may conclude to abdicate their power

cape the terrible onslaught which the
silver champion is sure to make upon

With wheat selling at thirty to forty
cents per bushel, az it Goes in Utah,
The farmer cannot get snough money
to pay a dollar or a dollar and a half
an acre each year for water for irri-
cation, But ne has plenty of labor,
%hich he can eSpend in this way and
thus pay for water for missing his
crops.
TN Utah We are just %hes~innins to
build reservoirs, and we @ finding
out that by conserving the later that
heretofore has gone to waste, in flood
season. we can irigate and cultivate
two or three times as much land as we
could without such reservoirs. For in
stance, our Sewer river appears to be
much like the Rio Grande. When the
water is low it disappears in the bed of
the river at n point to reappear
again farther down. We have not yet
population enough along the river to
enable us to build reservoirs as we
shall after a few years, but we are max
ing a beginning"
MORMON COLONIZ1NG.
Mr.. Smith was asked about the Nor
mon colonization movements in differ
ent quarters, and replied:
I'VE are an increasing, not a dimin-
ishing people. We must have more
room; and we establish new colonies
wherever we find desirable and avail
able locations, and a welcome. We
are like bees, and every now and then
we swarm out to relieve the home
hives. Our m%igrations at present are
about equally divided between the two
directions.
Our largest colonization movement
just now into the Big Horn basir. in
Wyoming. 1t is a beautiful country,
especially fine for grazing, so protect
ed by mountains that it does not suffer
extreme cold weather in winter, and
with plenty of water for irrigation
Our people were invited to take uI
these lands. William +. Cody, "Buffa-
10 Bill" and associates secured control
of these lands ten or fifteen years age
undef the cary act, Wnlcn required
them to take out water and bring the
lands under cultivation within a GER
tain length of time. They have failed
up to this time to get other people tc
come in and take the lands, so they
offered us the lands on very inviting
terms, and our people have accepted
them.
1--WE are also colonizing in Britich
America, by invitation of prominent
citizens of Canada. We started a col
ony there fifteen years ago, and it has
proved a very satisfactory venture.
Our people get land there for three
dollars per acre, and are assured of
employment IN the construction of ca
nails for a company there

MORMON IRRIGATION
Some Lessons Taught by the Re-
clamation Of Arid Utah by
the Mormons.
PLAN TO GET RID OF ALKALl
Irrigation Works Are Built by Cooperative
Effort Rather Than by Investment of
Large Capital Colonies Mormons
Are Planting.

Mormon experiments and experience
in irrigation and agriculture in the
arid west are full of fruitful SUCCESS
tons for those who are engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits in this region. When
the Mormons entered Utah, the coln-
try was a desert that, to the American
traveller unacquainted with the posi-
t,lities of irrigation farming, presented
Il most hopeless spectacle.
The Mormons nave made this desert
a beautiful, productive and profitable
farming country. They have done it
all by the application Of common sense
and hard work, with comparatively
little money.
Many of the problems of agriculture
which the people of this part of the
southwest are still trying to solve have
been successfully worked out by the
Mormons in Utah, in Arizona and
among the colonies one hundred and
fifty to two hundred miles southwest
of FL Paso in Old Mexico. Joseph F.
and DR.. s. b.. Young, of Salt Lake
City, in a recen interview expressed
themselves freely and with evident de-
sire to say anything which they could
that might be helpful to New Mexico's
farming people.
"The climate here seems wonderfully
fine for producing almost everything"
said Mr.. Smith, "if only you can get
water for irrigation. 1t appears to me
hat you have n of the richest and
most promising agricultural districts
that can be found"
What has been your experience in
Utah in the treatment of alkali soils?'
Mr.. Smith vas asked.
TREATMENT OF ALKALI SOIL.
Some of the worst alkali soil in Utah
replied Mr.. Smith, lis now

The Russians are oppportunists in the
widest sense of the word. Promises
and decency count for nothing with
them when they see an opportunity
ahead to add to their dominion. They
are developing into the Romans of to-
day, and the car may be dreaming the
dreams of Alexander the Great. No
n can foretell what the future may
bring, but Russia's advance will soon
be disputed by the sword, and upon the
outcome of that conflict will depend the
fate of the world for the next few CEN
turtles.

The order of the government to u s
ecute all Vandals who excavate ruins
on public land and rob them of their
relics, is very timely, and is the first
step toward preserving the monuments
of the bygone ages in New Mexico,
whose mysteries may be unraveled by
future scientists. To New Mexico it
also means a SQUIRE of income which
will be perpetual and will increase as
the knowledge of the existence of the
prehistoric ruins increases and greater
interest is awakened in their study.
the ruins should be kept intact and
the relics should remain in New Mexico
of being scattered broadcast for
commercial purposes.

has been taken by the signing of a
treaty of amity that settles questions

in this century. The United States did
hat nation a service by Kidding it of

government has been able in conse-
quence to get ven into better shape
and to pay some attention to the well
