IRRIGATION NEWS.
An Interesting Letter from Washington Giving
Some Important Facts.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. IS, 1901.
Anyone doubling the prominence to
which the national irrigation move
ment has attained, should visit the
NGtio-al Capitol these Gays and note
the amount of irrigation talk and dis
cus.iion there, in and about Congress.
The air is full of irrigation. 1t has al
ready come strongly TO the front in
both House and Senate and in commit
tees, and Eastern Congressman are
learning things about the subject OF
arid land reclamation and the resulting
benefits and possibilities, of which they
had never before dreamed.
The other week the irrigation COM
mittee and the public lands committee
of the House held four different meet
ings and discussed irrigation, with full
attendances.
The greatness of the problem Is be-
coming understood.
The fact is coming TO be recognized
by many broad-minded Eastern men
that this is a large national question
which in its application would be as
broadly beneficial us any subject ask
ing for legislation.
The Western men in Congress are
feeling very much encouraged. They
see that at last irrigation is coming to
be understood. Many of the older
members Of the House and Senate who
have talked the subject for the last ten
years, until their locks have grown
white, their words and appeals always
falling upon deaf ears, have taken new
interest and feel that finally the sub
ject is getting an intelligent hearing.
This is the ease in fact. Great inter-
ests are working for the Inauguration
of a national irrigation policy, and they
will continue working and increasing
in their efforts until provisions are
made for carrying out such policy.
This is perfectly clear and apparent
to anyone who sees things Us they are
here in the East.
The West has never before been so In
sistent and united in its demands that
the Federal Government shall build
the great storage reservoirs necessary to
the arid land reclamation, but the great
East has now come TO its support and
is anxious to have the proposition given
fair trial.

Mckinley wants fifty thousand more
men in the standing army, which
would make n total OF 10000. His
reason for asking the increase is the
trouble in the Philippines. There is no
necessity for the increase. The trouble
with the F'ilipinos can easily be stopped
on friendly and satisfactory terms and
obliterate the need of n larger standing
army. But those who are being made
millionaires by it will not allow the ad-
ministration to stop II on any terms,
and taxpayers are not consulted.

Sir r. Tangge, England's great iron
master says of trusts. ~ believe il leg.
islation does not step in and treat these

other deadly enemies Of the state there
will be such an uprising in the states
as has not been seen since the acces-
sion Of Abraham Lincoln to supreme
power. There Is no tyranny In the
world fit to he compared with the
tyranny Of the active, scheming gold
tyrant. 1t is uncomfortable that TO-
100000 free Americans will bend their
necks to such sordid despotisln, II
they do, they will deserve to be en-.

They give Us good address"
And yet have crow 10 pick
With those who get them up
They tell our bores and creditors
Where nightly we do sup.
And that you knows nuisance,
And it really shouldn't be;

From care I would be free.

The Word
 Box

Sometimes has a whole lot of meaning: for instance, you hear of couple or men going to BOX a few rounds; well, you can bet your life and half of your money if they understand their busl- ness each one will get all the boxing they want, but not half of what they are deserving. Then, again, you'll see how the mayor of some great city (Wa- terbury for instance), will get himself into a BOX when making appoint ments for the different positions. We all know how many are looking Tor each place when only one is needcG :: hence the chief executive gets himself into a BOX. Say, if the man of the house is sent for a pound of good tea and he doesn't buy it at our store, you can bet your boots he gets himself into a disagreeable BOX. But did you ever see or hear. of the folding lunch BOX? You can carry a good, big. square meal in it, and after eating you can wash it. fold it up and put it into your pocket. Therefore, it's out Of your way after it's empty. The regn- lar price is 9 cents; our price is 19c Take look at them in our window. Remember our 25c Butter is O. k.

Station for WORLDS Fair Passengers.

St. Louis, OCT. pa commodious
substation for passengers will be erect
ell on the Levee at the west end of the
Eads bridge by the St Louis Terminal
association, the structure to extend
from the north side of the bridge to old
Christy avenue, which is the first street
north of the bridge. 1t is the intention
of the company to make the new sta
ton permanent, as the pressure of reg
ular traffic demands it, although the
building of it is FASTENED by the
Worlds fair.
Plans for this new station are now
being prepared. President Julius S
Walsh stated yesterday that he was
unable to give the full details of the
building plans or to tell just what the
new structure will cost. He said:s
We will equip this station with an
adequate system of elevators to ac-
commodate passengers who arrive in
the city by the surface railroad on the
Leyee, the elevated railroad on the Le
wee, the terminal railroad crossing the
bridge and the street railways crossing
the upper roadway of the bridge"
