MILES FAvoRs IRRIGATION.
Thinks That the Government Can Well
Afford Such Expense.

Thinks That the Governments Can Well
Afford Such Expense.
Helena, Mont, Oct. 9.-Lieut. Gen.
Nelson A. Miles believes the United
States government should control the
water supplies of the country and that
1t should institute such work as may be
necessary properly to distribute them.
The government. he declares should
take more interest in the subject of irri-
cation.
In the course of an interview given on
the occasion of his recent visit to this
city while on tour of inspection thru
out the northwest Gen. Miles said:
II am surprised at the wonderful
progress being made in the development
of the northwest, and am more im-
pressed than ever with the ACCESSIBILITY
of the United States developing that
country by national irrigation.
eff it is good policy for the United
States government to spend hundreds of
millions on its rivers and harbors for the
benefit of commerce, and to loan Its
credit to build the Pacific railroads and
settle the west, as all concede it has, is
1t not equally good policy and business
to loan the credit of the United States in
order to Great supply of cheap food in
the great west and enable these regions
to turn into the channels of trade and
contribute to the wealth of the United
States an amount so vast that 1t is i'm
possible for the human mind to grasp II?
IF congress will authorize the issue OF
bonds to be applied to the irrigation of
the arid lands in the west, the problem
of cheap food for the mining and manu-
featuring population of the western
country will be solved. The cost of these
bonds can be charged up and the re-
claimed lands sold at price which
would reimburse the government many
times.
The Irrigation Of these lands does not
mean competition with the farmers of
the Mississippi valley because the food
raised upon them would all be consumed
by the mining and manufacturing pop-
ulation which would spring into exist
sence around the mouths of the shafts
that cheap food would be the means of
sinking.
I'VE have an example OF this same
process applied by the English in build
ing reservoirs and irrlgating canals in
India; we have 1t again by the same In
telligent and far-seeing statesmanship
in controlling the waters of the Nile.
National irrigation means the develop
ment of source of national wealth in.
the arid region second only to that ere
ated by the settlement of the Mississippi
valley.
THE precedent of our government in
the loan of Its credit to the Pacific rail-
roads and the example of our cousins
across the water in building irrigating
enterprises in India and Egypt have
paved the way for this appropriation by
congress. to promote system OF irrf-
cation that have advocated for many
years."

Farm Labor Wanted.

Lynchburg News
1t is a notorious fact that for some years
the movement Of population from the
country to the city has been steadily going
on. Rural life seems to have lost its at
fractions to the majority of those born
and brought up on the farm. This ten
dencv is not difficult to explain, for there
are several causes operating to stimulate
the movement. The isolation Of farm life
is irksome to the aspiring young man
whose intellect mas been quckened and
whose ambition has been stimulated b.
the information so widely spread through
books and newspapers. The prospect Of
accommodating a fortune by cuItivatlng the
ground is not very allurlng. In the city
ia ere is at least the hope of accommodating
wealth in a comparatively short time. 1t
is true that in nine cases out Of ten the
hope is delusive and after twenty-five or
thirty years of hard, unremitting toll the
denizen of the city finds himself in worse
condition financially than his brother who
WAS content 10 remain on the farm. 1t IL
not denied that there are social advan-
,ases in the city beyond the reach of in
habitants of rural districts and these In
most cases form an irresistible attraction
The result Of this shifting OF population is
injurious, almost disastrous, to the farm
ing interests. The greatest obstacle en-
countered by tie farmer is the Gltilculty,in
some cases the impossibiity, OF securing a
sufficient supply of reliable labor. Crops
are sometimes left to rot for want of hands
to handle them though the farmer is ready
to ray good wages. Just now, 1t is said,
that Kansas wants twenty thousand extra
/ !A5orers to aid in harvesting her splendid
wheat crop and the farmers are willing to
pay two dollars PEI day for laborers. In
California large proportion Of the fruit
crop was permitted to 60 to waste because
men were wanted to gather it and ship II
to market. In tins section Of Virginia the
farmers are compelled to curtail their op'
erations for want Of labor, and yet in all
the cities there are strong, healthy young
men walking around looking for job and
willing to work for very small compen-
sation, and besides there are thousands OF
tram ps, able bodied men, strollng through
the country, living upon the public and
refusing to do an honest days work.

MOST ANCIENT WATER MILL.
One IN Connecticut Destroyed After
BEING Operated Two Hundred
and Fifty Years.

What perhaps is the oldest tenure OF
property in the United States came to
an end recently when Fowler's mills,
in Milford, Conn, passed from the pos
session of William Fowler into that OF
George NJ. Gum, a lawyer of that town
The mill site and the perpetual water
franchise of the Wopowage river, on
which it is situated, have been owned
by the Fowler family since 164O, 20
years after the Pilgrims landed al
Plymouth. William NJ. Fowler, the last
owner, was the eighth William in a
succession of nine generations. Now
the water power will furnish electric
ity to light the town, says an eastern
exchange.
The old mill was the first grist mill
in the colony of Connecticut, and the
second in America. Tn a shed attached
to it was operated the first sawmill il
the western hemisphere. At its doors
was built the first wagon bridge on
this continent.
When Ansantawae, the sachem OF
the Paugasuck Indians, sold to the
settlers of Milford a strip two miles
long on the banks of Wopowage river,
William Fowler was one of the buy
ers. He was a leader among the men
of the settlement, to which he and
40 others had come from the settle
ment of New Haven. He was a mem
Der of the general court of the colony
and was one Of the first three civil
judges appointed by the governor
He was also a man of influence with
the Indians, and his skill as diplomat
pulled the little settlement through
many a tight place. In recognition
of his services the villagers, backed
up by the general court. voted to him
and his heirs the perpetual right to
the use of the water of the Wopowage
river.
The mill was completed in the fall
of 1910, and on the day before Thanks
giving the sluice was raised and the
water was allowed to turn the stone
for the first grist of wheat. All day
it ran. The first flour taken from the
mill was baked into bread which was
used in a communion service.
The next year an apparatus for the
saving of logs into boards was added
to the mill. There was not a sawmill
in the western world nor was there
one in England even, but the Dutch
had used saws driven by water and
wind power for some time, and to
Holland was sent the order, which was
filled several months later.
The banks of the Wopowage river
were steep, and the clumsy wagons
of the farmers could not be driven
easily across the ford. The first
planls which came from the saw
were laid across long beams which
spanned the river, forming the pioneer
wagon bridge of America.
In the wars of the revolution and
1912 the boys and women kept the
mill wheels humming. The old stone
on which the first grist was ground
is within the building to-day. 1t has
given place to others in the arrange
ment of the mill, but the same old tim
bers are IN the sluice and in the race
as when William Fowler built them.
The present building is the third on
the site, one having been swept away
and another burned.

THURSDAY, JUNE IS, 1901.
A D.SGRACEFUL SCRAMBLE.

We would be reluctant to say anything
critical about the present contest that Is
going on for the Democratic nomination
for Governor, but from the fact that we
frequently hear Democrats expressing their
earnest disapproval Of the course being
pursued by the prominent candidates
The contest has resolved itself IN to bat
tie between two factions in the party, and
the exalted position of Chief Executive OF
Virginia is fought over as if it were bone
for which two hungry dogs were strug-
Cling. Shall Swanson, the machine candF
date, or Montague, the so-called antl-ma-
chine candidate, be made Governor OF VIZ
pinia? This is the only question that
seems TO have entered the mind of the
Virginia Democracy. No enquiry is being
made as to the views of these two men on
great public questions, but the matter is
being treated from personal or factional
standpoint. The only reason we hear any
person giving for warmly supporting Mon
tague is that he is the peoples candidate
and is being antagonized by the machine.
Then we hear others saying that they are
for Swanson because he is a good, bright
fellow and stands by bis friends. For
these and no higher reasons do we find
the great Democracy of Virginia engaged
in a scramble that at many places las
been disgracefu in character One ex-
ample of the purely personal and fractional
character of the contest was furnished 10y
Fitz Lee, who boosted that he had travel
ed three thousand miles to vote for Mon;a
cue at the primary held in Richmond last
week. Was General Lee influenced by
patriotism, principle or party loyalty OF by
a hatred for the Martin SwansOn faction
judging from the conduct of the Vir
pipia Democracy in this contest for th'
nomination for Governor, the Governor
ship has become very insignificant hon
or, or the Democracy has greatly degener
ated in tone.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

On yesterday the convention which Is 10
make a new Constitution for Virginia as
sembed at Richmond. Now, the people
will begin to find out whether spirit OF
conservatism will prevail, or whether ex
IRENE partisanry will dominate its deliber'
ations.
While several reasons had formerly been
given as necessary for reforming or refrain
ing our organic law, in the contest which
Immediately preceded the calling Of The
convention the most urgent reason given
for holding it was the publication Of eiec-
tions This the Democrats said must be
done by restricting suffrage. The an
nouncement of the reforming of our sui
frage laws rather startled and alarmed the
masses, &nd the Democratic leaders imme-
diately began to assert that it was their
purpose to disfranchise no white men, and
they would only disiranchise negroes for the
preservation of white supremacy; and they
could and would accomplish their purpose
without violating the Federal Constitu-
ton. These were the pledges made by
the Democracy, by which they succeeded,
assisted by the election machinery in the
Eastern part of the State, in carrying the
proposition to hold convention.
There will be good many important
and serious questions for the convention
to pass upon, but We are inclined to think
that the Democracy will find its greatest
difficulty in fulfilling its conflicting prom
ises on the suffrage question. How it can
abridge the right to vote and make the re-
striction of suffrage apply only to negroes,
without conflicting with the Federal Con-
stitution, is a problem which no intelligent
man is now brave enough to undertake to
solve. he Democracy carries out its
pledge to abridge suffrage and thereby re-
move the necessity for continued frauds in
elections, it will have to violate its pledge to
take from no white man the right of vot-
ing. We shall wait with much curiosity
to see how the Democrats will make good
their pledges in the framing of new Con-
stitution.
