Irrigation Problem.
From the Phoenix Gazette.l l


 When in his letter to the Irrigation Congress General Miles said that pri- vate or corporate enterprise could not be trusted with water monopoly in the arid regions of the west, he ex- pressed a sentiment that will meet with a chorus of approval in every state and territory where irrigation is employed.
 The truth has been learned through experience by thousands of people, but aside from this it might be inferred with certainty from the circumstances of the case. No monopoly is more ab- solute than water monopoly in an irrigated district. Water is the life of the land, as essential to it as breath is to the human body. Where ditch runs property may be worth $50 or $200 an acre for fruit raising, A few rods away from a ditch or pipes be- yond reach of them, it may be worth $25 or 9 cents.
 Suppose that there is an improve ment such as an orchard. The value may then run to $1 ,0O0 or 1,5GO an acre. But the trees will die without water, and if ditch company is un- restrained by law it may exact any terms it may please. Even contract would be an imperfect defense in a time of urgent necessity, since legal dispute oyer it's meaning might result in fatal delays.
 That some kind of governmental in terposition is necessary is evident from the facts and from the develop meuts iH some of the states. That this interposition should be national in certain vast areas which cannot be ad- equately handled by thelocal authori- ties seems equally obvious. There is work of great magnitude to be done, which would be impossible to any other agency than the Federal Govern ment.

 It is a common experience among mountain climbers to find butterflies lying frozen on the snow, and so brit tie that they break unless they are very carefully handled.

 Aluminium has just been used for the construction of new freproof curtain to be used in the opera house, Besancon. The curtain is 60 feet wide by 54 feet high, and it's total weight, composed of aluminium sheets one-twelfth of an inch thick, will be 4,G0o pounds. Had sheet iron been used instead of the lighter metal the weight would have increased to 11,OOo pounds.
 The enterprising city authorities of Q small northern borough have been trying the experiment of sprinkling a street with sea water. They find that such water binds the dirt together be- tween the paving stones, so that when it is dry no loose dust is formed to be raised by the wind; that sea water does not dry so quickly as fresh water 50 that when salt water has been used one load of it is equal to three loads of fresh water. The salt water which is deposited on the street absorbs mois- ture from the air at night, whereby the street is thoroughly moist during the early morning, and has the appearance of having been freshly sprinkled.

The De Lome Incident.

A letter from Senor Dupuy de Lome, dated December 25, 1897, and addressed to Senor Canalejas, has been stolen in Havana by some one in the Cuban inter- est. and sent to the Cuban junta in New York. which gave it to the press on February 9, 1898. This letter contained q coarse and vulgar attack upon Presi- dent Mckinley, which led to the imme- diate resignation and recall of the writer, who had served Spain well and unscrupulously. But far more i'm portant in it's wider bearings than this disclosure of the character of Dupuy de Lome was the fact that the letter re vtaled the utter hollowness of all the Spanish professions, and showed that the negotiations in regard to autonomy and commercial relations were only in- tended to amuse and deceive the United States. The effect of this revelation was just beginning to make itself felt when the American people were stunned by an event which drove every thing else from their minds.-Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, in Harper's Mag ozine.

Seeds That Surely Grow.

The cost of seeds compared with the value of the crops is so small that few cents saved by buying second rate seeds will amount to many dollars lost when the harvest is gathered. Farmers have found out by many costly failures what risky thing it is to buy seeds without being pretty sure that they are reliable and true to name. The latest catalogue of the seed house of D. N. Ferry $ Co.,, of Detroit, Mich, is a reminder that thousands of farm CTS in the United States and Canada have pinned their faith to the reputa- tion of this great firm. During a busi- ness career approaching half cen- tury in time Ferry's seeds have won an annual increase in popularity, which is perhaps the best evidence that they grow anl give satisfaction. Ferry's Seed annual for 1901 is useful guide iu selecting the seeds for the farm, the truck garden and the flower garden. It is sent on application.

The Oasis is informed by Mir. J. F. Tenor, general agent for the Duquesne Mining and Reduction Company, owned by Mir. George Westinghouse, the mil lionaire manufacturer of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, that Mr. Westinghouse has bought the entire Buena Vista grant, comprising some seven thou sand acres of land, and will erect there- on, at some point on the Santa Cruz river, a colossal reduction works and shelter, and railway connecting the mines at Duquesne with the reduction works and Nogales. While not fully determined, it is thought that the capacity of the reduction works ana smelter will be about 800 tons of ore daily. Mr. Tenor will start for Pitts burg upon Sunday, December 18th, to make the final arrangements for in- auguration of this great work. The importance to Santa Cruz county of this great enterprise will be immeas- urable. It will create big mining town at Duquesne another big town at the site of the reduction works, and will give an impetus to Nogales which will makeit one of the chief towns in Arizona.
