One of the best measures that has
become law in the beginning OF this
twentieth century is the scheme pro-
viding for the irrigation of the thous-
ands OF square miles or arid lands
located in our Western States and
Territories under government super
vision. embodied in the bill recently
passed and signed by the President
and known as the Irrigation Bill.
The bill is based on the idea that
the proceeds OF sales of public lands
shall be assigned from year to year to
the building of irrigation works under
contracts approved by the Secretary
of the Interior, but only when there
Is sufficient morley on hand to insure
the completion of the work.
According TO Mr.. Eewlands, the
Representative from Nevada who has
promoted the legislation on this sub
ject, the bill is very complete and
comprehensive in its scope and auto
matte ESQ to speak, in its plan Of
action.
Tt is estimated that during the next
thirty years at least $4,000, 900 from
the proceeds OF the sale of lands will
be available without further appro-
priationS for public irrigation works.
The bill makes the present receipts
from public lands, including those of
the last fiscal year, stated to amount
now to some 100000 Immediately
available and the average annual sum
of So, 600, 900 (like1y to be constantly
increased can be used each year for a
steady continuation and enlargement
of any work for which contracts are
made.
The plan further provides against
the requirement of large tracts of
land by individuals or companies By
limiting the area to be owned by one
person to 16O acres, subject to the pro-
visions of the national homestead law,
including its limitations, charges and
conditions.
At least half of the arid land so ae-
quired must be improved by irrigation
and the owner must reside on or near
the land.
After plan Of irrigation of tract
of land owned by several parties has
been completed at government ex-
penSe and the works are in order, the
owners will be required to pay back to
the government in not less than ten
annual inStallmentS the estimated
cost of the construction of the works,
the money so paid to be returned to
the general reclamation fund. Eight
hours is fixed as a days work, and
Chinese labor is forbidden.
The public arid and semiarid lands
mentioned are in the Territories and
States of Arizona, California, Colo
RADIO, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Neb-
raska, Nevada, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South
Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyo-
ming.
The effect OF the bill should be to
encourage the settlement of the great
wastes in a few Of the States and
greatly to increase their agricultural
products. The Department of the
Interior is not limited to any particu-
lar plan of securing the requisite sup
ply of water for irrigation purposes,
but must conform to the State laws
bearing on this subject in providing
for any given plan. The law is GER
tain to make valuable land now con-
sidered value1eSS, and promote
Western agriculture in a way to in
sure lasting benefit to the country
Scientific American.

BURNED AT THE STAKE.

Will Gibson, the confessed murderer
of Mrs. Carey Whitfield, near Corinth
was burned at the stake last Sabbath
afternoon. Gibson had beaten his
wife; and she retaliated by Revealing
the secret of her husbands crime.
He was soon in the hands of the anna
teur detective, Almond Doche, and on
Sunday evening suffered death in a
horrible form at the hands of a mob of
1000 people. On Aug. 20, Mrs. W.
Whitfield was found dead in her home
by her husband, with her throat cut.
No clue was found to the villain who
had done the deed and the case was
wrapped in an impenetrable mystery
until last Saturday.
Governor Longino knew nothing OF
the condition of affairs at Corinth I'm.
til late Sunday night and is unable to
understand the laxity of the sheriff.
The matter may be officially investi
gated.
One of the most revolving features
of the horrible affair was that reserved
seats for women we're filled by some Of
the sex. Such acts are burning dis
grace to civilization, brutalizing to all
who participate in and witness them
and belong to savagery and the dark
ages.

Ex-Judge Thos. H. Woods is being
urged by East Mississippi friends to
become candidate for Governor, and
has promised to take the matter under
serious consideration and let them
hear from him later. If the whisky
men Of Mississippi are looking around
for candidate for Governor, they will
doubtless unite on Judge Woods. He
has long and pronounced record as
an anti-Prohibitionist, and rumors
were repeatedly current while he was
on the supreme bench at Jackson that
he was at times given to sprees that
seriously hterfered with his official
duties and delayed the business of the
Court. IL such reports were without
foundation in fact and do him in
justice, his supporters should lose no
time in setting him right, if he becomes
candidate for Governor. We do not
believe all liquordom combined could
put man in the Governors chair of
Mississippi next year who is known to
the people In advance to be drunkard.
