house on Eighteenth street by the ap-
pearance of the husband Of a lady who
is employed in the house and who at

1t seems that the gentleman, who
has been residing at Laramie for some

whom he had heard was paying too
much attention to his wife. Had he

have resulted but he was induced to

total is not far from the two-hundred
thousand mark.

for the evident reason that people are
better prepared to pay for the instruct

CONGRESS AND THE ARID BELT

Congress can appropriate $50. 900 900
for the improvement of rivers and har-
bors. but it fights shy of an %appropria-
ton for the purpose of impounding the
waters of the arid belt and causing
great harvests to bloom where all be
fore was a desert.
Much of the appropriation for rivers
and harbors is all right. New York
harbor should have a depth of thirty
two or thirty-three feet of water and
a wide channel from the piers in the
city of the sea
Philadelphia harbor should be in the
same way improved. If a feasible plan
for the permanent improvement of the
lower Mississippi has been discovered.
it should be worked upon until com
pleted. The Willamette and Columbia
should have a deep and un~obstructed
channel from Portland to outside the
jetties below Astoria. and there are
other places where improvements are
most important. But millions are
voted avery year for water way i'm
provements that are altogether profit.
less.
The arid belt includes several states.
lr many of these rivers start from the
hills and flow through two or more
states. If the states owned the lands
there would in every such case be
clashings between such states. 1t is
the province of the general govern,
ment to undertake the regeneration OF
this arid belt where possible. and at
the same time to dictate the appropria.
ton of streams. The reasons are tn,
urgent because in many Places
there have been parks set aside that
the natural protection which The or
ests give to the sources of sIr"lms auG
t. the climate may be held Tho 2Dv
eminent should have an interest in
seeing that such protection is safe
guarded and one assurance of that
would be by establishing reservoirs.
When a harbor is improved by gov
eminent money the expenditures is
justified IN the score of increasing the
country's commerce or reducing he
freight charges on products OF the
mine, or soil, or factory. In the arid
belt the money could all be returned
either through leasing the soil or add
ing greatly to it's price. For instance
an acre of land in this valley without
water Is not irtrinsically worth SO pei
acre. The same land when brought
under IN irrigating canal where it can
have plenty Of water to quicken the
soil will pay more than legal interest

erected and made permanent that will

water, and the reservoirs can be con.
structed for $500, 900; the men who ap.
peopriate the land will be glad to pay
