PROSPECTS OF IRRIGATION.
Expected the Next Congress Will o
Something.

something.
Washington, Oct. Ex-senator Hans
borough of North Dakota called at the
White House during the morning to
pay his respects to President Roose-
welt. He remained with the president
for some time, but their talk was gen.
eral and not along any particular line.
After the senator left the president
he had few encouraging words to say
about the prospects of irrigation leg
islation this winter He thinks it will
be one of the foremost subjects for
discussion at the next congress. Pres
ident Mckinley had been gathering
information about the necessity of ir-
rigation in the great arid regions of
the West, and it is said he had intend
ed to favor federal aid along this line
in his next message.
It is known that President Roosevelt
has for long time been in favor of
the government adopting some plan
for the reclamation of these lane =, and
that he is more strongly impressed
than ever since his recent Northwest
ern trip, where he heard a great deal
upon the subject. This favorable out
look for some relief from the govern
ment has caused the Northwestern
congressman to resume their support
Of irrigation with renewed interest.
Senator Hansbrough said:
Congress will be liberal with the
West in dealing with irrigation ques-
tons, and I believe the president
will also be most literally disposed.
/ believe the government should give
the proceeds of fthe sale Of public
lands to irrigation. This would
amount to about s., 1000 900 each year,
and it could be expended under the
direction Of the secretary of the inter
Tor in making surveys and construct.

In times of great public excitment it
is to be expected that the populace

summary vengeance on any one who
expresses contrary opinions. This is
human nature. , But when the excit-

United States people broke the laws

sons expressing satisfaction over the

point Of suppressing free speech when
the speaker merely advocates peace

has been done in several places. the

forbidding advocacy OF force and
murder, but they should not forbid
appeals to the voters to decide on

WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1901.
The STREET FAIR.

The street fair was revelation to
many of the people of this county, in
showing what our soil can produce
even in such unfavorable seasons as
the one we have had this year. The
corn exhibited was pronounced by ex-
perts as being fully equal to the best
raised anywhere in the United States.
This will undoubtedly have the effect
of stimulating the farmers to devote
more attention to this important crop.
The potatoes and garden vegetables
displayed were surprise to most peo-
pie, as those crops had been generally
considered a failure on account of the
drought. Such results cannot be OBJ
tanned by planting any seed on hand
and letting it take care of itself. To
get such results it is nesces sary to Sc
lect the right kind of ground, prepare
it in the right way, plant the best
seeds obtainable, and cultivate prop
errly. The men who raised these ex-
ceptionally fine crops did not do it in
a hap-hazard way. They had studied
the subject carefully and gone at their
work properly prepared. Their less
successful neighbors will be curious
to learn how these things are accom-
plished, and we may expect many OF
them to be jerked out of the old ruts
and do work that brings the best re-
suits.
The fine showing made by the cream
cries of the county will be encourage
ing to their patrons. There is one
danger that threatens the cooperative
creamery, and that is the efforts made
by corporations to draw patrons away
from the weaker creameries and get
them to deliver their milk to skim
ming stations owned by the corpora
tions. The experts from the state ex-
detrimental farm and the other insti-
tute lecturers sounded note of warn
ing on this subject. These corpora
tions are ready to pay a little higher
price for the cream than the weak
creamery can afford. But it is the
bait to catch the fish. When your
creamery succumbs to that kind OF
competition the trust has you at it's
mercy and can dictate terms. You
will find then that they will make
you pay back with usurious interest
the advance they paid you over the
local creamery prices. Stick to the
cooperative creamery; it is your best
friend. If it is weak do your best to
strengthen it, instead of weakening
it by ceasing to patronize it.
The fair showed the Willmar peo-
pie what they can do by working to-
gether.: 1t has made many of our citi-
zens forget little personal differences
and created a more friendly feeling.
The few doubling Tbomases who stood
aloof and shook their heads, saying
that the attempt would prove fizzle,
have had their eyes opened and will
undoubtedly be ready and willing to
assist next time.

The Successful Doctor

The king of purgatory sent his lictors
to earth to bring back some skillful
Chinese physician. "You must look for
one" said the king. 'at whose door
there are no aggrieved spirits of disem-
bodied patients" The lictor went off,
but at the house of every doctor they
visited there were crowds of wailing
ghosts hanging about. At last they
found a doctor at whose door there was
only a single shade and cried out.
''This man is evidently the skillful one
we are in search Of" On inquiry. how
ever, they discovered that he had only
started practice the day before.-Giles'

A BIG WEDDING FEE,

The Generous Uses to Which Henry
Ward Beecher Put 1t.
In his "Eccentricities of Genius Ma
jor Pond says that often while travel
ing Henry Ward Beecher improved his
time by having what he called "a gen.
eral housecleaning'' of his pockets,
which would get loaded up with letters
and papers until they could hold no
more, when he would clear them out
and destroy such papers as were worth
less.
On one occasion Beecher happened
to- put his hand in the watch pocket
of his pantaloons and found there
little envelope which he opened. When
he saw its contents, he called Major
Pond to sit beside him and remarked:
you remember the evening married
@. P. Huntington. l was so much in
terested in the subject that l forgot
he handed me little envelope as he
went out Of the door. put it in the
watch pocket Of my pantaloons and
never thought of it again until just
now, and here it Is, four $1,000 bills
Now" he said, don't tell any one
about it, and we will have a good time
and make some happiness with this
money. We will just consider that we
found it."
And so in day or two Mr.. Beecher
went with Major Pond to look at a
cargo of fine oriental rugs, many of
which he purchased and sent to differ
ent friends, and afterward he spent
what remained Of the money for coin
silver lamps, unmounted gems and va
rious pieces of bric-a-brac, all of which
he gave away until he had used up
the entire $4,000 lin making happiness
among those whom he loved.'
After Mr.. Beecher's death the major
related to Mr.. Huntington the incident
Of this discovery Of the four $1,000
bills, and the railway magnate observ-
ed: Il should never have given them
to him. It was all wrong. l made a
