Irrigation I'm the Arid Resrfons.

Irrigation I'm the Arid Regions.
The Monthly Weather Review SAYS
that while agriculture by irrigation
has reached degree Of development
In Colorado unrivaled elsewhere in the
arid region there is no prospect OF its
further extension under present cir
cumstances. The amount Of water that
now reaches the streams during the
summer season is undoubtedly small
er than it was quarter of a century
ago. While greater economy in its use
has become necessary. scarcity is COM
mon, and droughty conditions during
the summer often cause great loss.
Deforestation and forest fires have
removed large tracts OF timber, ma
ture's reservoirs In the mountains, So,
that the amount OF moisture conserved
till midsummer is rapidly growing
less under the unobstr tructed action OF
the sun and winds. What as true OF
Colorado win soon be equally true of
other mountain states I'D the arid re-
gions unless strenuous Efforts are made

BARRIERS Of Spain.

iEzs'
The barber's business in Spain is pc.
culiar in that he is called upon to ply
his shears on donkeys as well as men,
for it is an important item In the care
Of Spanish donkeys that they should be
sheared as to the back In order to
make smoother resting place for man
or pannier.: So, while the master held
his animal, one of the BARRIERS piled
some enormous clacking shears and lit
tered the ground with mouse colored
hair, leaving the beasts belly fur GOV
cred below: a fixed line and for a small
additional price executing a raised pat
tern Of star points around the neck.
The tonsorial professio is an indis-
pensab1e one IN q country where shay
ing the whole face is generally prac-
ticed among all the humber orders,
not to mention toreros and ecclesias-
tics. But the discomfort to which the
BARRIERS customers submit Is astonish-
Ing, Instead of being pampered, sooth-
ed, labored at with conf Dental re-
spectfulness and lulled into luxurious
harmony with himself, as happens In
America, q man who courts the razor
in Spain has to sit upright iD stiff
chair and meekly hold under his chin a
brass basin full of suds and fitting his
throat by means OF q curved nick at
one side. ., Ss

Conflscation In Morocco.


It is custom in Morocco that all the
property of an official reverts at death
to the crown. The logic which leads to
such result is simple, for the govern.
ment argues that all fortunes thus &C.
,cumulated consist Of moneys illegally
retained by the authorities. A gov.
erpor when appointed is probably pos
sessed Of no considerable fortune.
When he dies, he may be q million
aire. Whence came his wealth? Squeez:
ed most certainly from the tribes under
his authority and therefore amassed
only by the prerogatives Of the position
in which the sultan had placed him.
It has never struck the Moorish gov
eminent that these great fortunes
might more honorably be returned to
the people from whom they were sto,
len. The result is entire confiscation
to the crown, including often such pri-
vate property as his governor may
have been possessed Of before his ap-
pointment and not seldom, too, of the
property Of his relatives. 49,, Ill, =,
When the mighty fall in Morocco, the
crash brings down with them their
families, even uncles and cousins and
all connected with them, and 1t lis not
seldom that the sons Of great gov
ernors, who have been brought up in
the luxury OF slaves and horses and
retinues Of mounted men, have to 60

PROGRESS OF INDIANS.

MAJOR M'LAUGHLIN SAYS A TRIP
THROUGH THE WESTERN AGEN-
CIES SHOWS IMPROVEMENT OF
CONDITIONS.
st. Paul, April 2.-Maj Mclaughlin,
Indian agent, is at the Merchants. He
will leave today for Sioux City, Ia.,
where instructions from the interior
department are awaiting him. He
will look after the comfort of the In
dians in that vicinity and will prob
ably take hand in the purchase of
supplies and the distribution Of tools
and seed for the coming season. He
thinks that no more important bus
iness will come up.
Maj. Mclaughlin has been away
from SIT. Paul for the past three
months. During that time he has
been on tour of inspection in the
west and has visited many Indian
agencies. He believes that the con-
ditions at present are better than they
ever were before and that the attempt
to civilize the Indian and make him
Independent of the government is
nearer fact than it ever was before
Il am considerably surprised at the
progress the Indians are making"
said Major Mclaughlin last night
They seem to have accepted the plan
that the government has mapped out
for them, and many of the members
of the different tribes are now engaged
in agricultural pursuits. As rule
the Indians are not good farmers. but
with the aid of modern machinery
there is every reason to believe that
they will succeed.
The government contributes to the
support Of Indians, only in part. Their
annuity is not sufficient to provide for
their wants, even on the most econom-
1cal basis. AS rapidly as possible
they are being taught to till the soil,
and there is every reason to believe
that in time they will become admir-
able farmers or raisers of cattle and
sheep. They are certainly beginning
to take the step in the right direction"
