LIGHTHOUSE IN DESERT
POINTS WAY TO A WELL
Result of Two Prospectors Dying of
Thirst in Alakli Wastes.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Oct. IA
lighthouse has been established in the
great Arizona desert. Unlike the light
houses which are set for the benefit of
mariners, it is not a signal of danger,
but Of safety.
Two years ago two desert prospect
ors died of thirst within a short dis
lance of the place where the lighthouse
has been established. Had the light
then been there they would not have
persisted, for the light marks a well of
water, the only water within thirty
miles of the spot.
One life has already been saved by
the establishment of the lighthouse for
an old German gave up the struggle
with heat, sand and thirst and lay
down to die. This was just at dusk
When it had become a little darker he
CHANGED to open his eyes and saw a
light. 1t gave him courage. He arose,
staggered on until he came to the
light and found water.
The lighthouse Is simply a tall cot
tonWood pole with lantern on the top.
1t is tended by Joseph Drew, who
dwelIs in the little oasis and ministers
to the wants of travellers who pass that
way. The light is visible a long dis
lance across the plain in every direc-
ton in the night time.

SAVE RosAREL STREET.

1t is a disgrace to st. Paul that one
of its most important business streets
should be closed to traffic on account
of its dangerous condition. Rosabel
street is one of the principal thorough
fares in the business section of the
city. 1t is invaluable to traffic. 1t
leads down to the railroad yards and
the heavy business section, and the loss
to public convenience and to business
by any interruption in its use must be
severe.
The immediate occasion of closing
Rosabel street is the damage wrought
by recent heavy rains that have left
its surface in such condition as to
make travel over it actually dangerous
when not impossible. The reason be-
hind such condition is because the ini-
provement of the thoroughfare has
been fought, thus far successfully, by
a member of the assembly who seems
to regard it as a part of his private
premises. He has insisted that no i'm
provement shall be made. The worse
the condition of Rosabel street the
more available it is for him as a stor-
|sAge area.
Some public action should be taken
upon this atrocious betrayal of the
peoples interests for the sake of pri-
vate advantage. If any corporation in
this city were to close a street in the
business section to traffic tomorrow,
there would be a storm of Indignation,
and injunction proceedings would
presently set the matter straight Bust
ness houses have to be careful how
they use the sidewalks or any portion
of them for business purposes, and the
public is generally and properly jealous
Of It's entire control over public high
ways. Yet here is one of the great
arteries Of traffic in this city absolute
ly fenced off, rendered impossible of
use and taken from public possession
because it pleases a member of the as
sembly to exercise for that purpose the
power conferred upon him by his posi-
ton. -ra
Every member Of both houses of the
city council will share the blame and
the shame of this transaction. If he
does not protest by word and act
against the subordination Of public to
private interest. The order to pave
| Rosabel street should be forced
through at the earliest possible mo-
ment. It should be taken out of COM
| mittee instantly and every man who
| opposes such action should be marked
as a public enemy. If Rosabel street
is not paved this season it will be
closed to travel for the better part of
a year to come. Can the city afford
to pay this price for the services of
such an assemblyman as it has got?
Dare the other members of the council
unite with him in destroying this great
business highway? We shall await the
action of the council on this matter
with much interest, and shall expect
and ask the voters of ST. Paul to hold
them responsible for their choice be-
tween public duty and private favor.

A SENSIBLE CONCLUSION.

at is'all very we'll to tell me to go
back and organize the farmers of Chi
sage county and to tell that man to go
home to his own county and organize
the farmers there. and our intentions
may be of the best; but l have my own
farm and have my own work to do and
so have the rest of you. and we really
cannot afford to give our time to this
work" These are the most sensible
words that We're addressed to the So
in this city on Wednesday to attempt
an organization of the state in har-
mony with a project recently made
public in Chicago.
They go right to the heart of the
matter. The farmer is a real working
man. He has business of his own to
attend to. He has no time for conven-
tions and combines and organizations.
He is busy producing things, and by
the necessity Of his occupation his
guild is so widely distributed over i'm
like close and active organization is
impossible.
This, on the whole, is very fortunate
for the farmer. The last project laid
before him is one in which he could not
possibly play any other part than that
Of stool pigeon. The suggestion was to
organize the agricultural interests of
the country to control elevators and
warehouses and markets. The last was
the real objective point. If the man
ayers of such an association could die
their produce and when to sell, they
would have unfailing fortune at their
command. They could manipulate
prices on the exchanges at their pleas
ure and give plausible explanation to
the agriculturists. That the farmers
themselves could really dominate or d.
rect such an organization is a SUPPOSE
ton absurd on the face of it.
The laboring men who live in cities
where they can get together every day
if they like, where they can attend
their meetings and where everything
has to be done under watchful eyes,
have difficulty enough in keeping their
organizations out of the control of the
idle schemers who would prey upon
them. The farmer would find it i'm
possible. He could attend a conven-
ton or a committee meeting about
twice a year, and he would not have
the information necessary to pass upon
proposed acts or policies of a great
agricultural combine.
The farmer was wise in his day and
generation when he declined to come
to st. Paul or to send anybody there to
represent him in considering this prof.
ect. 1t is an impracticable one, and it
would not help him if he Joined in it,
The farmers" who did meet could see
nothing better than to secure an or
ganizer on a salary and have him go
to work. That tells the whole story
When an organization of industry has
to be worked up by paid agents, the
demand for it is not very pressing. We
are of the opinion that the farmers win
pay no heed to the preposterous project
put before them, and they will do well
in turning to it the cold shoulder
