IRRIGATED HOMES.

In the irrigation debate in the House
Of Representatives Representative Bell,
Of Colorado, stated that he had served
on special committee which went to
the arid West to investigate conditions
of labor and capital, and that they
found in Utah the best labor conditions
Of anywhere in the United States,
"why," he said, "did we find there
the best condition oflabor? The reason
given was that the men employed in
the coal mines and i'm the metalliferous
mines and everywhere else had small
homes on this irrigated land, and when
ever there was shortage Of work the
miners of Utah went to their little
homes and cultivated their land. A
family can raise more OH one acre OF
good fertile irrigated land, in my judg-
ment, than can be raised on an average
Of three or four acres in the Eastern
States. This condition quadruples the
inducement for laboring men to make
homes on this land, and causes them "a
take lively interest In their rcclama.

get into an embarrassing tangls over
the arid land irrigation question, which
is growing stronger and stronger with
each day.
The opportunity WAS just right in the
House, had the Democrats as whole
been alive to the situation and to the
strength of the irrigation question, for
the Democratic party to place the Re
publicans in bad predicament, for the
keynote of the Western irrigation ques-
ton is "hone-building," and the Re
publican party has heretofore always
championed this class of settlement.
The Democrats, by now favoring this
idea themselves Of providing homes in
the West for thousands Of American
citizens, could with entire consistency
charge the Republicans with having
forsaken their old-time policy for that
Of colony-building.

valuable for the small settler who wants
to take up forty or eighty acres, and

little opposition to storing, by the Gov.

Such u policy carried out would peo.

CLIMB THE HEIGHT.

Put no limit ON your effort,
For this life reveals 10 goal
That Is not within attainment
By the brave, ambitious soul.
There is pleasure just in striving,
Though the progress may be slow;
so be fearless in your purpose
As you onward, upward go.
Seek the summit that is soaring
In the higher realm of blue;
Cross the valleys--scale the foothills
Let no peril hinder you.
You are gaining-always gaining
There is naught to cause defeat.
When you journey-journey upward
Let no fOeman force retreat.
Let you courage be the rarest;
Let the Master be your guide.
If aught threatens, why be fearful
Need you care what may betide?
While still climbing-ever rising
Where life's peaks forever stand
How the picture charms-enthralls YOU
For the vista groweth grand,
Let your friendship lie the truest
To your comrades on the way;
Let your cheering words drop freely
Serve the Master all the day.
Shun all falsehood-you can never
Climb by telling one untruth;
And in STOPPING to a falsehood
Yours will be an endless ruth.
Clasp your neighbours hand as warmly
As you heart will bid you feel;
And In climbing take him with YOU
Show the Master you have zeal.
Leave the shadows for the splendor
OF the sun that warns your heart;
And for aye, along the journey,
Do your duty-do your part.
God is watchful-He will guide you
While you seek q higher plane
Till at last the soaring summit
You shall some day surely gain.
Far above you Is the summit,
That is bathed In purest light.
In the wales we find the Darkness
Be courageous! Climb the height!
