Irrigation In Haw ali.

tnteresting irrigation development is
reported from the island OF Hawaii, in
the discovery of underground currents.
Immense subterranean streams of the
purest water have been uncovered from
1.500 to 1000 feet above the ea-level.
The water will be fiumed down to the
sugar plantations at lower elevations,
affording an abundance for irrigation.
From five subterranean streams tapped
within the Last few weeks the Olaa
plantation has secured continuous flow
of 100000 gallons every twenty-four
hours, more than eDough to irrigate the
plantation, which is the largest in the
island. The water has drained from the
surface into the subterranean beds of
ancient lava. In the Hawaiian cane
fields, under irrigation, the average yield
is reported as 52 tons of sugar per acre
and reaches in some cases as high as 10
tons per acre. The Louisiana sugar yield
is on an average only $500 pou nds per
acre and reaches as high as 3,200 pounds
Or little over II tons.

Great Mining Development 1t
Would Result Through Water
Storge.-Output OF Mines
Largely Dependent Up
on Irrigation.

The western half Of the United States
today supports population ranging
somewhere around five million. Much
OF this population has been attr acted by
the cry OF gold and the capital invested
today in western mines is enormous
Yet it is not tithe of the amount which
the value of the mineral laden ore OF the
West warrants; only these minerals are
locked largely in the grasp OF the arid
belt. Water is what is needed. Hills
and mountains Of extreme richness lie
undeveloped and desolate, surrounded
by barren deserts OF sagebrush plains.
Capital is slow to venture into such
places, even with great mineral wealth
in sight. Gold is not the only MEAL
bosoDls of the western gjerras, but ali
the family OF baser metals are richly
represented and the question Of trans.
portation enters largely into their min
ing. Railroads will not follow mining
camps alone. But reclaim tao arid
lands OF the West; give to them settled
agricultural population, ana railroads
will quickly pierce the desert. And here
too will be source whence to feed the
men and the mules that work the mines;
feed them at reasonable rates. Many a
torrent Of great volume rushes down the
slopes during the period of melting

stream across the brown plain, but be
fore a crop can be raised its volume has
waned and its bed become dry sand.
Yet store this water in a mountain res
ervoir and it would afford a perennial
supply. capable OF irrigating land whose
fertility has never felt the washing,

who, prior to the passage of this act, has
made-a homestead entry, bnt from any
cause has lost or forfeited the same,
shall be entitled to the benefits of the
homestead laws as though such former
entry had not been made. Therefore,
you will not hereafter reject home
stead application on the ground that the
APPLICANT can not take the prescribed oath
Uha. he has not previously made such an
entry, or because he has perfected title
under section 1901 Revised Statu es to land

description Of the land. number and date
Of entry, or other sufficient data, to en-
able me to identify the same on the re-

July II, 1899 remains unchanged. 1t
will be observed that an entry made
under section 2 can not lie perfected by

with the agricultural development would

FRANK EDDY ON CORNER STONES

AT the Congregational club OF
Washington, Hon. Frank M. Eddy
of the seventh district made an ad-
dress on the subject Of Corner
Stones of the Republic" A Wash
ington d spatch Says of it:
Mr.. Eddy's address vas OF a mighty
interesting character, and was one
of the best of Mr.. Eddy.s oratorlcal
efforts. There was large audience,
made up OF the leading men and women
of the Congregational denomlnatlon
in Washington, and the speaker was
frequently applauded, and at the close
was given a most hearty and enthu-
siastic reception. A.
After pleasing Introduction, Mr..
Eddy said that the republic was
quadrangle, towering above all 0tner
governmental structures as the WASH
lngton monument towers ABOVE the
other buildings in this city OF states
men. Under each of the four corners
is a cornerstone fashioned by ire gu
preme Architect OF the unlVerse-the
church, the home, the scnool; the
press. The address was an elapora'
tion of the thought with reference 10
these four cornerstones, aud gave MI:
Eddy opportunity to say numoer VI
very eloquent and forceful things.
His conclusion was as follows: =
Sentiment rules the world. I would
rather 90 up against hundred cold
facts than one established sentiment,
even if the sentiment was founded on
error. Men will gladly die for sentl-
ment, but it is hard to drag a quarter
out of their pockets to establish fact.
The greatest sentiment factory In ex-
istence is the country press, and the
man who makes the wheels go around
is the editor. He may yet be wearing
his last YEARS straw hat but it covers
an active brain; his coat may DE
ragged, but beneath it beats an hon
est heart that loves his country and
his fellow men. He may be and often
is mistaken: but he is honest. 1t he is
not that kind of man he won't re-
main county editor very long; there
isn't money enough in it to keep one
in the business who only works for self
interest. The country press occupies
a low position in the eyes OF the news:
paper world aud mankind generally!
Ave. so low that 1 have denominated
it one of the "corner stones" of the re-
public. Remove it. and the building
would become lopsided in day And
hence, demominated 1.-THE church OF
God" the "Christian home" the
:scross-road school" and the country
press" as the four great corner stones
of this great republic of ours that all
loyal hearts love SO well, and what
better "corner stones" could be found?
AS long as God reigns, it will not fall,
because of its firm foundation.
And still there are some people
over in the Seventh who think Mr..
Eddy will be defeated. Such ver-
setility as that man has would re-
deem Texas.

News of the World.

If anything had been lacking to
make a perfect metropolitan news
paper of the st. Paul Dispatch, the
want was entirely filled when it COM
pleted arrangements for the special
cable service which is now Frightening
its columns. 1t is really astonishing
how the recent war with Spain has
developed the American thirst for the
news of the world. 1t placed America
in a new position with regard to the
rest of the earth and gave new import
ance to the events of the world at
large. If the movements of foreign
powers were once Of interest they be
came doubly so when America rose in
to place as world power. The st.
Paul Dispatch recognized this when
it secured this. cable service, with its
news from first hands. No longer is
London the sole source OF all Euro
pean news, and no longer is the news
filtered through British channels and
tinted with English ideas. II comes
to the Dispatch straight from each
European center and without bias or
prejudice. This will be gratifying to
all intelligent people of the Northwest,
particularly SO to that large foreign
born element which delights, in inform
alton direct from the fatherland. The
Dispatch has secured resident cor.
respondent in every large city on
earth, who uses both cable and mail in
sending in every news event of inter-
est and all public gossip that is dear
to the heart of the newspaper reader.
In the past six years the Dispatch has
made great strides to the front and is
today recognized as the greatest even
