A Club Member.

A story illustra ative OF the club
habit among women was told by a
woman at the recent Federation Q,
Women's Clubs at Buffalo:
Three little boys were together
and their childish talk finally drifted
to the question Of where they were
born. One little boy said:
~ know where / was born. | was
born at 3s Washington street, and
know where the house is, too.
And one Of the other little boys
said:
II know where | was born, too. I,
was at SO Pennsylvania avenue, and
| can take you right to the kouse. .
The third little boy ilesitated, and
then finally said:
Il don't know where / was born,
but know when / was born. | know
there wasn't anybody home at The
time, but me and grandma, cause
mother was at The club. =

There has never been a ques-
tion in the average western
American mind but that some
thing was due from the Federal
government to the people of the
west. No people in any other
section of Uncle Sans wide do
main are more loyal to the gov
ernment in general, or more pat
riotic in their devotions to the
general welfare of the people as
a whole than are the people of
the great and limitless west.
They have been very patient and
have abided the time when the
government would recognize
them and give them what they
needed most.
1t is fact that any class or
section of people progress faster
and promote prosperity better
when they have at their command
and use the utilities, be they pri-
vate or public, which increase
their facilities for producing.
Agriculturists are the worlds
producers, and no inconsiderable
share of them are west of the
Mississippi River. So it was
with rejoicing that the lower
house of congress passed the irri-
cation bill which had already
passed the senate.
This means the beginning of a
new era in the west, 1t is the
signal of the creating Of many
new opportunities. However it
is not new idea. It has been
hanging fire for a long time. AS
early as 1883 congress instructed,
by resolution, the director of the
United States geological survey
to make an examination of that
portion of the arid region Of the
United States where agriculture

sion. ''as to- the natural adyan-

More Choice Farms in
Grant County.

The details of this matter, of
course, do not affect us all alike.
We all heartily concur, however,
in our appreciation of the great
magnanimity of the Federal Gov
ernmeEt, believing that the ma
terial encouragement of the ad-
vancement of any section of the
country confers benefit upon
the whole, and we rejoice with
those states whose arid regions
in the course of time, under great
encouragement, will be made to
blossom as the rose and whose
fragrance attracts the humming
bee of prosperity.

reservoirs, together with the ca
pacity of streams, the cost Of con-
structing, and other facts bearing
on the question of storage of
water for irrigating purposes.
Major j. w, Powell, who was
then at the head Of the sgeologi-
, cal survey, made very exhaustive
Investigations. He found IN 1889
that the area of irrigated lands
amounted to little over three
and a half million acres. It was
the result Of years and years of
labor, but Improvements in the
means Of irrigation had been
made from year to year and the
resources SO conserved that it was
very successful. 1t is his opinion
and his view is corroborated by
men who haye made the matter
a study on the ground, that from
sixty to one hundred million acres
of arid land can be reclaimed, if
economy in irrigation is practiced.
But what about over produc-
ton, asks some one. It was ex-
pected. Some one was bound to
ask the question, Among the
opponents to national legislation
in regard to irrigation, the most
| prominent were those who cried
out; over-productron. To this,
Mr.. Powell, says: "There has
been some needless alarm in the
minds of the people of the middle
west lest the development of the
arid regions would lead to compe.
ton in the raising of cereals.
These, however, are grown under
irrigation only to very limited
extent. Nearly all Of the wheat
of Oregon, Washington and Cali
fornia is produced by dry farming
and even in as dry a country as
Utah the area of winter wheat
| not irrigated is rapidly increas-
ing. There is no probability
| that under irrigation there will
be more cereals raised than are
needed for local consumption"
Senator Hansborough, of.North
Dakota, answers this same ques-
tion by showing that all the pro-
cess of irrigation encouraged by
national legislation is not going
to reclaim the land in the course
of one short year. During the
years 19O0-1 twenty-five million
| acres of public land were disposed
of under the existing law and it
| did not affect the price of farm
products, The tabu1ated state
ments of the geological survey
show that not more than $40, 200
acres will be reclaimed out of the
arid regions each year and that it
will take the United States for a
period of thirty-eight years to
reclaim twenty million acres.
Suppose that private. enterprise
Should reclaim the same amount
m the same time,it Is not obyi-
Gus that il will ruin the farmer.

IN THE MINES. Operations in and Around Cocldse County and Throughout the Territory.
GENERAL ACTIVITY.

8. F. HOyt of Denver, Col. has re- turned from a six weeks trip to Ari- zona. He visited a number of the lead ing mining camps, and comes back fayorably impressed with the mining activity that he noticed on every side
 Mir. Hoyt represents a big machine house in Chicago, and his trip was for the purpose of selling machine sup plies in the different mining camps. He states that he succeeded in secur- ing five big orders. four from camps in the Nogales district. and one from the Dos Cabesas district. near VII cox.
 The tendency of all the mine own CTS of any importance" said Mir Hoyt. to an Fl Paso Times reporter. 'is to install machinery. Electricity is now being used as power in several of the leading camps of Arizona. The mining in big properties is being done by drills.
 Low grade properties are being worked to great advantage and hand some profits are beng realized. This is one of the particular changes I mo- ticed since my visit to the territory three years ago. With the introduc- tion of modern machinery companies can work copper ore that only runs 5 per cent and lead ore that will go no higher than Is per cent Of course, ore of this grade is usually treated on the ground as the transportation ex- penses would eat up all the profits.
 There is no question as to the value of the great gold strike near Wilcox. Ore has been taken out of three-foot vein with an eight-inch pay streak that has given returns of thousands of dollars to the ton. But this is not an average yield. The min ing excitement recently was so great that men abandoned ther stores and ranches and fiocked to the new camp. Most of them went home sadly dis apointed. However, some promising claims have been located"
