IPRIsATIoN-A PROBLEM FOR Pos
TERITY.

No doubt the time will come when
the increase of population will make
Il necessary TO tap rivers, build
storage reservoirs, make canals and
irrigate every acre of land available,
INIT that time is in the distant future.
At present there is enough agricul
tural land that can be proftably
fsrmed without irrigation to give
every head of family except those
living in towns and cities, more than
100 acres. The problem of reclaim
ing arid lands remains TO be solved.
1t is plain that individual farmers
cannot do the work, and it has been
demonstrated that il cannot be sue
cessfully done by 90 operation of
farmers on account of the large
amount of capital required and the
lapse of time before any profitable
results coru Corporate canals
have almost universally proven un-
profitable to the investors, and in
cases where these losses have been
reoouped by land speculation the re-
suit has been loss TO the community.
Settlers of limited means, aud these
are more than 90 per cent. of the
total, cannot meet the large outlay
and endure the improbable labor re
duired to put wild land in proper
condition for growing profitable
crops, pay their taxes and in ad-
dition meet a heavy tax for water.
This has been the result in Califor-
mia, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico
and elsewhere. Posterity will have
this problem to solve. We have
failed in the task, after spending
many millions of dollars in the
effort. At the present rate Of in
crease of our country's population,
natural and by immigration, our
children's children will be brought
face to face with this problem on
account of the necessity for more
land TO produce the sustenanoe that
will then be required. The Year
Book of the Department of Agrioul-
ture for 1898, in the urse of an elabo-
rate article on this subject, says:
"To effect this result is a task in
ferior to no other in the realms of
craftsmanship or social economics"
In the meantime, let US make all our
available area subject TO the pillow,
and let those who must, subjugate
the arid West.-Farm and Ranch.

v1Re1N1A's NEW GOVERNOR.

The election of Andrew Jackson
Montague as Governor of Virginia
is the more striking in that it is the
first instance since 1866 of the choice
of a Democratic Governor in the Old
Dominion who could boast of no
service in the Confederate Army.
Mr.. Montague was born in the sec-
ond year of the war, while his family
were refugees in the interior Of Vir
ginia, having been driven from their
home on the RappahRnnook by threat
ening operations of Federal gun
boats. His father was a leading pol
itician, a member of the Confederate
Congress. The son is the only one
of the little group of newly elected
Governors who had the advantages
a college education. Like Governor
Cummins, Mr.. Montague is a lawyer
of ability he served throughout
President CIeveland's second term
as United States Attorney for the
Western District of Virginia, and for
the four years last past has filed the
office of Attorney General of the
Commonwealth. Mr.. Montague sup
ported Mrs. Bryan in the National
campaigns of 1896 and 1900, and was
nominated as the candidate of the
anti. monopoly, anti machine ele-
ments in his party. He has stood in
Virginia as the foremost champion
of direct primaries as the effective
means of preventing ring rule. He
is an eloquent speaker.-N. Y. Out

WORTH THINKING ABOUT.

The cry is raised, Separate the
zokool funds, ard give the white
people the taxes paid by white PEG,
pie and the negroes the taxes paid By
negroes for educational purposes"
This is a mistaken policy, and, if it
is adopted, will prove ruinous. 1t
could result in nothing short of the
destruction of the public school sys
tenn. The reason for public schools
rests in the inability of the masses
to educate and in their Indifference
to education and in the duty Of
those more highly favored by for
tune to assist the weaker branches
of society. If the step proposed
with reference TO to the negro be
taken, there remains but one step TO
be taken to divide the white school
funds and distribute them TO the
rich and the poor in proportion to
what each pay. 1t is not color o
race about which the average politi-
clan is so seriously concerned as he
is about votes. He will do as much
for the negro when the negro votes
for him as he will do for the poor
white man, and he usually does for
either no more than he is obliged TO
do Fremont Visitor. =

FACTORY CHILD LABOR.

We print in this issue quite an in
.teresting communication On the sub
ject of child labor in cotton mills.
Many mill owners have voluntarily
restricted child labor, and where
mill owners and mill superintendent
are humane and sympathetic this
evil can be reduced TO a minimum
without legislative enactment. But
unfortunately the great majority OF
mill owners do not consider it their
business to look after the welfare
Of other peoples Children and sooner
IT later legislative restriction will be

Is a big subject and there is much TO
be said on both sides of it.-States-

During the fiscal year ended June
80, 1901, the total number of publ
cations issued by the Department Of
Agriculture was 800 different kinds
with a total number of copies of p
897, 271. This is very interesting in
view of the fact that in 1898 the De-
partment only printed 80 different
documents with a total of u, 688, 600

W Isthmian canal routes ara re-
viewed as follows by the Chicago
News:
lowing TO its greater length, the
nature OF the channel, and the cost
OF maintaining locks, the annual ex-
pense of the Nicaragua route is esti-
mated at from 81, $50, 900 to 50, 600, 600
a year greater than that or the
Panama waterway.
Length: Nicaragua route, 100
miles Panama route, AZ miles, De-
Quoting the SO miles across Lake
Nicaragua where vessels may travel
at full speed, the Nicaragua canal is
131 miles long, a difference of "a
miles in favor of the Panama route.
1.-THE Nicaragua route is about
500 miles the shorter tor vessels sail
ing from Atlantic to North Ameri-
can Pacific ports. From the Pacific
ports of South America to the Allan
tic ports thereof the Panama route
about 400 miles the shorter. The
Nicaragua route is two or three days
sailing nearer the United States for
steam vessels. For sailing vessels
the Nicaragua route is from four to
fourteen days nearer to San Fran
CISCO.
"Time Of construction: An esti-
mated advantage of two years in
favor of Nicaragua.
"Health and climate: Nicaragua
slightly cooler and climate somewhat
more salubrious.
There are fair harborsat both ends
of the Panama route. Construction
of Nicaragua harbors would be nee
essarY, but that il already included
in the estimate of cost.
Several short curves on the Mica
ragua route will impede navigation
and give an advantage estimated
TO be worth 50, 600, 900 in favor of
the Panama route.
cit will be seen that something is
TO be said on both sides. Arthur P.
Davis, the chief photographer of the
Istbmian Canal Commission, max
ing an estimate based upon a COM
putation not only of cost but or the
cash value of relative advantages to
commerce, has figured an advantage
of S34 400, 900 in favor of the Pan
anna route. The commission report
just received, however, AYERS that
these advantages are offset by the
superior facilities of the Nicaragua
waterway for American shipping.
Moreover, the commission estimated
the cost of construction at only
$189, 900, 900 in the case of Nicaragua
and 1858, 900, 900 in the 81 of Pan.
anna, basing this estimate on the
ground that the Panama work al
ready done, for which the French
company now claims $109, OOO, 900, is
actually worth only $40, OOO, 900.
Doubtless if the French company
had been content TO ask a lower
price the Panama channel would
have much better chance of oonsid
GRAFTON than it has at present."
THE foregoing was written before
the Panama Company decided TO sell
at $40, 900. 900
