show concluSively that we can easily
reclaim enormous tracts of now val
ueless land the other side of the father
of the waters-reclaim them in such
a way that they will support millions
of settlers and add to the greatness
and glory of the nation.
every acre of the land reclaimed
by irrigation will extend the domestic
market of this country; and it is my
most sincere judgment that the larg-
est concern of the American Cangress
is to do these things which will enlarge
that market rather than to expend so
much of its energy in worrying about
foreign markets. The home market is
the greatest market on earth, and to
make it larger and more important is
"a great deal easier and a great deal
more patriotic and national than to be
looking longingly abroad"
DR.. Charles D. Wolcott, head of the
geological survey, spoke strongly and
ably in favor of national encourage
ment of system of irrigation of the
arid and semi-arid districts affected
by the bill under discussion and gave
scientific reasons in support of his adj
vice.,
After him came Clifford Dinchot,
Forester and Chief of the Bureau of
Forestry, in a convincing defense of
the proposition that forest preserva-
ton in the far West is branch of for
estry effecting irrigation, and in the
most earnest plea for Government &C.
ton along the lines urged by Mr.. New
lands, the Interior Department and
the Secretary of Agriculture.
George Maxwell, of San Francisco.
President of the National Irrigation
Association, then addressed the AS
semblage, making stirring appeal for
prompt legislation.
Mr. Newlands concluded the discus
sion by answering the suggestion that
perhaps theproposed legislation would
be unconstitutional.
"The United States owns the great
areas in the States mentioned in our
bill" said he, land by virtue of that
ownership has an unassailable right to
do whatever addresses itself to Con-
gress as proper to make that land of
value for settlement That the land be
made available for actual settlement
in eighty-acre lots by good faith set
tiers under homestead regulations is
all that is asked.n
The effect of the gathering was unde-
deniably great. 1t seems unlikely that
the irrigation bill will be adopted at
this session of Congress; but there can
be no noubt that the Newlands dinner
has contributed great deal toward
ultimate success. The irrigation poll
cy will sooner or later gain the sup
port of both branches of Congress.

CAUSE OF IRRIGATION By THE GOVERN
=. MENT ISsGlVEN AnREALLY %.
BIG BOOM.

A press dispatch from Washington
says:
The cause of irrigation for the arid
and semi-arid regions of the West was
given really big boom tonight as a
result of the speeches and contagious
enthusiasm at banquet in the new
Willard hotel. Representative Fran
els q. Newlands was the host and the
three score of guests included most of
the most conspicuous members OF
Congress, as well as several of the
leading officers of the executive branch
of the Government.
Mr.. Newlands opened the speech
making by a short talk, admirable as
tactful, strong, condensed statement
OF the Importance OF .reclaiming the
arid and semi arid lands beyond the
Mississippi and of the good points of
the bill agreed upon by the Congress
ional Committee representative of the
vast region most directly concerned.
He urged that scientific conserv-
alton of the torrential waters of the
snow tracts of the far West would
minimize the need for providing
against overfiows in wet seasons and
dredging in dry times, in the case of
the Missouri, the Mississippi and other
streams; and that such conservation
need not be at all burden to the East
and South, in that the approved bill
called for combining irrigation outlay
to the income derived by the Federal
Government from the sale of the lands
In the States lying within the arid and
semi-arid region.
The Secretary of Agriculture, who
followed the Nevadan, made one of
the most earnest speeches he has ever
delivered; and it seemed to. carry con
viction. to most of the distinguished
men around the board.
Mr.. Wilson spoke for broad,
prompt, energetic Government policy
in the. interest of such development
of the West as would increase the
greatness of the nation and extend our
home market.
1.-THE United--States have in the arid
and half arid States and Territories"
said he, immense areas of lands
chemically capable of yielding meal
culable wealth if irrigated; and we
have in the same regions tremendous
quantities of water now going to the
sea without having done any good to
man.
''It is beyond the range of individual
enterprise TO wet these dry lands with
these waste waters; but to do this
great work is legitimate function OF
the government.

cultural Department of the United

Carson Letter.

EDITOR COURIER: The wreck of the
Pacific Steamship Company's Steamer,
Walia Walla, about II miles from the
Mendocino coast, on january, caused
by being run into by a French bark,
named Max, resulting in the loss of
nearly 40 lives, and the position taken
by j. Miner Goodall, head man of the
Company, with reference to the liabil-
ity Of the Company for the loss, must
call the attention of the country with
irresistible force--if his position is COR
rect-to the fact that the people do not
hold their representatives In Congress
to. any. responsibility for their acts.
Captain Goodall claims that under the
Harter law, damages can be collected
only to the value of the vessel on or
through which the loss occurs. He
also, assumes that when a vessel is
properly equipped and sent to sea in
charge of qualified officers that the re-
sponsibility of the owners ceases and
it passes to the master of the vessel.
Under the Harter law, according to
Captain Goodall's Interpretation, the
survivors can go to the bottom of the
ocean for their compensation for dam
ages sustained by reason of the GRIM
inalneglect of hisemployes anda agents,
because that is where the vessel lies,
and their remedy is against the vessel.
fsCongress has passed such law, every
meArber who voted for it ought to be
"clubbed to death with a gunny sack
packed with pack saddles" to use a
once favorite expression of Major John
H. Dennis-of the Reno Journal Such
a-law could be passed only by means
of corrupt and evil influences brought
to'bear by owners of steamship lines
just like all other class legislation is
passed-ail in the interest of monopoly
and money power and against the gen.
eral interests of the country. Of
course, the people are suckers, or else
such things would not be. Caesar
would not be a lion, If the Romans
were not kinds" 1t is just such laws
that make anarchists, and what
''makes my tired ache' is to see the
very men who pass laws that make
anarchists attempt to pass laws TO sup
press anarchy, instead of abolishing
the cause of the disease. Give us
wholesome laws that will "fall like the
rains from heaven upon the rich and
poor alike" and there will be no an
arChists. What healthy minded man
can look upon our entire ozark in
iquities'' without feeling of contempt
for such laws2 The maladministration
ofwholesome laws Is just as bad.

Let the ball roll on-San Francisco
is going to "pay for the fddler.n

Under the Sherman Act, the Secre-
tafy of the Treasury had to coin not
less than 81, 00o, 900 per month in silver,
and he could coin as much as $4,000
900 per month. Cleveland's Secretary
kept close to the minimum. Dur
Ing the past year, the Secretary
has coined 1900, 900 in silver, or at
the rate of $2,500,00o per month. Of
course, he coined as little as the de-
mands of the country would possibly
let him. There is always large de-
mand for subsidiary silver coins, par
ticularly, and sooner or later silver
will go up The PRODUCTS now limited,
and silver mines are going to wreck
and ruin; also silver reduction works.
The shafts and drifts, and hosting
works of the mines are in many in
stances ruined, and would cost for
tunes to repair. Our new possessions
or'annexes, or whatever the Supreme
Court of the United States may finally
call them, will require great deal of
silver. All these facts will tend to
boost the price of silver. So, don't let
go of your silver mines. Recognizinr
the demands of the country. Renre.
sentative Hill of Connecticut has in
troduced a very important measure in
Congress. 1t authorizes the coinage of
subsidiary silver coin without regard
to limit and as public necessity may
require. 1t also directs the Secretary
Of the Treasury to maintain at all times
at parity with gold the legal tender
silver dollars remaining outstanding,
and to exchange gold for legal tender
silver dollars when presented to the
Treasury in the sum of s. and the null
tiple thereof. To that end he can use
the reserve fund on hand in the same
way that he is now authorized to use
1t in the redemption of United States
notes. Who says silver is dead issue?
Our Republican friends tell us, con-
fdentially, that all Republicans in Ne
vada who left their party in 1892 to
join either the Silver of Democratic
parties, should return to their fold be-
cause the reasons that caused us to
sever our political relations no longer
exict. The truth is that the causes
that induced the liberal minded men
who left the Republican party for
principle in 1892, are similar in their
nature to the reasons why they origin
ally Joined the Republican party, and
those inducements no longer exist
the Republican party having deserted
the principles that brought it into ex-
istence. That alone is sufficient to
prevent the return of all Republicans
who joined the Silver or Democratic
parties in 1892. But there is another
reason: Up to 1892 the Republican
party platform always contained good,
sound silver planks, and the party
shamefully betrayed the silver ele.
ment, and kicked them out of the fold.

that smote us then?

down in the last little corner of the last

that makes any letter sweet. 1t was a true
letter, too. because know the writer, and
| know that she is true in word and deed.
There isn't anything in her life to conceal
nothing, that is, but the date of her letters.
Yet, l don't think it will seem strange TO
any one who can read a letter by its date
that this letter said it was so hard to write
a letter, harder almost than anything else,
because for one thing the babies swarmed
around so-only she didn't say swarmed-I
said that as a word sounding responsible for

Saturday" I'd know that 1t would be a
good many months before I'd get another
letter similarly dated. People who don't
know the year and the month are the peo-
pie who write very few letters.
Then the date at the top or the bottom
OF a letter is not all l mean by the date Of
a letter. l mean the time 1t was written
as related to the time 1t should have been
written; and to read that, you know, we
would have to see the date of the letter
to which It was a reply. Say the letter
were dated March II, 1902, and the letter
TO which it was a reply were dated January
10, 1902. and say in that first letter there
was a question which in one way or another
asked for a prompt reply, a question ask
ing for a bit Of needed information about
some person or place or thing. Looking
at the two dates, would not the last one

that letter I'd say at a glance that she, yes,
she again, was a person with plenty OF
time on her hands. with an overdue regard
for the surface of politeness Of life. and Ia
say, too. that she was a follower of fads,
social fads. Say the date were written thus
-"S-10-'02." In that case I'd say hat
the dater was a person who had not time
20 spare to the person he was addressing;
that he was a person always rushed for
time; that he always would be, or what
amounts to the same thing, always would
think he was; one of the people who will
never get time to rest, who will never get
through with half of his work as long as he
lives and who when the end OF his day has

unfinished work for other people to do.

not write to me, because I'm not the patient

the patience to count on my fingers to find

nearly the brains to remember without
