PRESIDENT HILLS VIEWS.

President Hill of the Great Northern
good many truths at their banquet i'll Chi
cago last night. Mr.. Hill has q keen ap.
probation OF the benefits to the West of
irrigation. Today" he said, I'VE have
about reached the limit OF our public do
main which can be made to furnish homes
for AN intelligent and cnterprising popu-
lation. In many of the Western states are
enormous areas OF the best land, which
with irrigation can be made productive in
the highest degree. President Roosevelt
who has spent great deal OF his time in
the semi-arid regions OF the West, has
taken an active interest in this subject
and if his efforts and those Of others who
are working for the same end result in
success, future generations will rejoice in
the memory Of this work, while they build
for themselves comfortable homes in the
thousand valleys covering that portion OF
the country which is now given up to
grazing ranches for cattle and sheep"
OF course there will be a good many to
dispute with Mr.. Hill the proposition that
next to the Christian religion and the
common schools, no other single work en-
ters into the welfare and happiness of the
people Of the whole country to the same
extent as the railways" 1t is a broad
statement and one that challenges atten-
ton. There will be few to dispute his state
ment that no other agency outside the rail
roads could have made it possible to oc-
cupy the enormous stretches through the
interior of our country and people them
with cities, towns and villages. While rail-
ways have to answer for many mistakes OF
judgment or of intent, on the whole the re-
sudt has been to create the most effective,
useful and by far the cheapest system OF
land transportation in the world"
There was much in Mr.. Hills remarks
to give serious thought to the men who
are constantly agitating against the rail
road interests OF the country.

(Phoenix Cor. San Francisco Examiner.)
Captain Mossman of the Arizona Rang
ers, and Colonel kosterlitsky, commander

forces to run down the most bloodthirsty

Hail and Snow.
(Chicago Iournal.l

Why water should sometimes fall as
soft snow crystals and at others in hard
Jumps of icy hail is question of interest.
The difference is entirely one of time.
Snow crystals are formed very slowly, the
frozen atoms of water grouping them
selves with mathematical precision around
different centers. Hail, which generally
falls in warmer weather, is rain frozen
suddenly by sharp drop of temperature
in the upper air. Wind nearly always ac-
companies hail; while the larger and
more perfect snowAakes are always
formed in calm air.
