land and the necessary water is
united, while under the water-right
system it is impossible to longer
secure the investment Of intelligent
capital.
The difference between the two
plans is very clear. Under one, the
farmer owns the land and the CON-
pany sell him watcr-right. This
is the system which has almost in
variably turned out disastefously.
Under the other system, the owner
of the land also owns a share in the
water property, so that the owner.
ship Of land and water is united.
This is the successful system. So
with proper management, the CO.
operative system can be successful
as far as ct goes, but it is necessari.
ly limited in extent.
At this point national irrigation
comes in. Some have conceived
the impression that national irriEa-
tion contemplatcs the building Or
ownership by the government Of all
reservoirs and irrigation Works.
This Is erroneous. No one proposes
such q policy. The national irriga.
tion movement conteMpintes the
construction of reservoirs, etc., by
the government, only when such
work Is beyond the scope of private
enterprise or private capital, while
at the same time national irrigation
would operate along the same lines

Only a Printer.

Hes only a printer" Such
was the sneering remark of leader
in circle Of aristocracy-the cod
fish variety. Who was the Earl of
Stanhope? He was only printer.
What was Prince Edward William
and Prince Napoleon1 Proud to
call themselves printers. The pres.
ent Gar of Russia and the Duke of
Battenburg are printers, and the
Emperor Of China worked in a pri-
vate printing Office almost every
day.
William Caxton, the father Of
English literature, was a practical
printer. What were G. p. Morris,
N. P. Willis, James Gale, James
Parker, Horace Greeley, Charles
Dickens, James Buchanan, Simon
Cameron and Schuyler Colfax!
Printers, all, and practical ones.
Also Bayard Taylor, the poet.
Mark Twain, Amos Cummings,
Bret Harte, Opie Reid are plain
printers, as were Artemus Ward,
Petroleum V. Nasby and Sut Liv-
ingwood. Senator Plumb was a
printer, and SO is James 8. Hogg of
Texas, and the leader Of science
and philosophy, Benjamin Franklin,
in his days made it his boast that
he was printer.
In fact, thousands of the most
brilliant minds in the country are
to be found toiling in the publish

Burlington. VT. April special
from WATERBURY,, VT, says that John
Farrer, teller OF the Waterbury Ma.
tional Bank, is missing and that there
Is "a defalcation of $4,000 OF the bank s
funds.
The community is greatly shocked by
the news, as Farrer was considered a
model young man. His parents are
very estimable people, and two years
ago he married a young lady of high
standing.
The shortage of funds in the bank
was discovered by Cashier Charles
Wells Friday afternoon.
He called Farrer's attention to the
fact that there must be some mistake
in the books. They began an examina-
ton of the books at 6 O'clock, when
Farrer suggested that they go to sup
per and return in the evening for fur
Their examination. He has not been
seen or heard of since.
One train coming south is due to
leave the station at 6:10 and one north
land west at $50, but nothing has de-
Isveloped to show that he took either.
The only other explanation is suicide.
He was treasurer of the village and
had charge of about $500 in that ca
pacity, but 1t is not known yet whether
any of these funds are missing. The
| young man had been specializing in
stocks He was heavy loser in the
recent failure of stock brokers Knott
