CONQUEST ny IRRIGATION,


Great efforts, II seems, are 70 be
made during the next session OF Con-
gress, to secure an appropriation for
the commencement OF the work ~ re-
deemlng the so-cailed arid region Of
the United States. The executive CHAIR
man Of the National Irrigation assocla-
tsn, Mr. George II, Maxwell Is active,
trying to arouse public sentiment IN "a
vor Of the project,
The interests involved In the cnier-
prise are enormous, The arid region Is
said to embrace nearly half OF the en-
tire area OF the country. It's reclama-
ton involves problems In forestry, en-
gineering, colonlging and Legislation,
and when these are solved wisely. there

thought, as fast as the water now go
Ing to waste is conserved and utilized
Il IS needless TO say TINT trade and
commerce win Increase with the popula-
ton, and that the entire country VIII
receive the benefit OF the peaceful con.
quest Of the arid region.
The intention OF the leaders Of this
movement is TO ask for s25o,o0o Tor In
yestigations and surveys and for the
sinking Of deep test wells. Also $1,000
900 for reservoirs in Colorado, Wyom-
ing, South Dakota, Montana. arizona
and California, With this outlay II is
believed that the practcabihty q the
scheme can be demonstrated. u VIII
cost many millions more to complete
the work but there Is no doubt thai the
money expended would be repaid with
interest BY the settlers. Some tine the
work will have to be done. The country
viii need more room for It's growing
population, and as II has no deslre to
enter upon a policy of conques, 10 for
elgn lands, It must utilize It's own cnor-
nous resources. And surely, the Pres
emf time Of prosperity is very favorable
for the commencement Of this kind of
expansion.

Santa Fe. N. M, December IA
Editors Messenger:
Permit me to add through the col
| umns of your paper another word to
| the many words of praise which have
| seen already bestowed on the volumes
| dealing with the histories of the several
| REGIMENTS from North Carolina in the
| great war, 1876, now being edited by
Judge Clark and published by the state.
1t was most fortunate that the n
| federate veterans should a taken up
the idea of securing a history Of each
of the regimental organizations of the
North Carolina troops, written by a
member of the regiment. It was no easy
task to cur such @ series OF contrl-
buttons. however, as one Will acknoWl-
edge who hsa eyer tried to collect data
similar in character to that contained
in those beautiful volumes. But
through the ~tireleSs efforts of Judge
Clark and with the aid of men from all
sections of the state the work has been
done and we'll lone.
These volumes are not to be regarded
as history Of the war in it's final shape.
They represent a series OF memoirs by
the actors, each seeking from his own
knowledge, from the assistance of other
SURVIVORS anu COlllTduSS, dIiu IIolb
printed documents to give an accurate
and true account of the events in which
he and his regiment participated and
the will no doubt stand the test of
rigid historical criticism as we'll as any
class of memoirs prepared under SINH
lar conditions could stand. 1t is from
these thrilling narratives, from the Off
cial records published by the United
States and from other similar sources
fhat tho fna1 history Of what the Sfafa
did. OF the heroic part which it played
In those terrible years, will be made
Not less fortunate was the idea of in
sorting portraits of such participants as
rendered loyal service without regard
to rank. There are in the first two vol
umes 488 portraits of the men who help
ed TO make the state famous and We
are promised an equal number in the
others. The whole work will be COM
pleted in four volumes, octave in size
of about 800 page each. This makes
about 5000 pages. with some 1000 por-
traits and a Number Of maps. The set
of four volumes is to be sold at the
very low price Of s1.N per volume. post

then for about $3.50, and to persons in
North Carolina for something still less,

These books should be in the horne OF
every citizen who loves his state, while
those of us who are scattered far from
the land Of nativity either from choice
or fate, are made to feel more proudly

New York. December 21.-The cotton

reports Of freezing weather over rae

eighth day OF the cold waves reign in
the cotton country. The first squirt Of
buying carried March to S.25 and May to
S.29. after which there was some slight
reaction under profit taking by scalping

At the Arbitrary and T~yrannfca1
Conduct of Secretary Long.

Baltimore. December 21.-Isidor Ray
ner. attorney general of Maryland and
counsel for Admiral Schley, when
today. declared that " the whole pro-
ceeding is arbitrary n t~yrannical"
and manifested great surprise and in
dignation.
The court decided the case" said
he. without considering the testimony
of Admiral Schley and his witnesses,
and Secretary Long seems to nave de-
us to file a reply to the protest by Ad-
miral SIMPSONS attorneys.
This protest vas filed late yester-
day afternoon and just one hour ago
we finished our reply to it and sent it
to Washington.
Nov / understand that the Secretary
has decided against Admiral Dewey and
adversely to Schley being in command
at Santiago and virtually in favor of
Sampson, without even permitting US
to produce before him h conclusive
proof. admitted at the hearing by con-
officially devolved upon Schley. This
whole proceeding is too arbitrary and
tyrannical for me now to discuss. ]
really wonder whether The people who
live under free institutions will tolerate
the exercise of such despotic measures.
You ask me what our text step will
be. / do not know unless the president
fntervenes. There is q power in the
courts to compel the secretary to file
