UNDER the present Tariff law,
American farmers need not fear
the Importation into this coun-
try of competitive farm pro-
ducts. But what interests our
farmers most is an industrial
condition which creates a home
demand. Take work from the
great army of wage earners in
this country, and our farmers
soon feel the effect. If agricul-
tural countries elsewhere have
abundant crops, there is nat
urally no foreign demand, and
with no local demand, because
of the impoverished condition of
the consumers, our producers
have little show to realize on
their investments and their toll.
We cannot see why single
American farmer can conscien-
tiously be a Free Trader. From
1898 to 1897 the Free Trade
policies of the Democratic party
were tried, and agriculture suf-
fered with other industries. 1t
would be the same again were
the Democrats to gain strength
enough to enact a Tariff law.
AS we have said. American
farmers are vitality interested in
a continuance of present con-
ditions.

NEVADA

THE farmers of this valley are
beginning to realize the fact
that if they want sufficient
water for irrigation purposes
they must get together and
adopt some plan for the storing
of the water which now goes to
waste every Spring, This week
petition was in circulation the
purport of which was to have
the land and water owners in
the valley form corporation,
purchase reservoir site and
begin operations on business
basis. We understand that a
large number of ranchers have
signed such an agreement. If
this is the case it is a move in
the right direction, for it will be
some years before we can expect
government assistance in this
section on the water storage
proposition, and so long as
there is a shortage of water it is
going to be uphill work to get
settlers to come in here to locate.
Not only is this the case, but the
value of the property now own
ed here would be enhanced 80
per cent if the farmers could be
guaranteed water for the last
six weeks of the irrigating sea-
son each year. There is no way
to do this except by storing
water. While we have not seen
any estimates made as to the
cost of such a system, it is safe
to say that the system would be
worth many times more than it
would cost in a very short time.
1t is possible that the purchase
of a reservoir site and the build
ing of a dam could be accom-
plished for $2O0,OOO-perhaps
less. However, whatever the
cost, there would be no trouble
to secure the funds by bonding
the district, as any business man
of means would consider the in
vestment a gilt-edge one. 1t
would be just as good an invest
ment for the owners of property
here, and it seems to us it would
take but few years to pay off
the bonds, be clear from debt
and have all the water necessary
for all. This would do away
with all lawsuits, give the farm
ers the assurance of a full crop
each year and bring about a
prosperous condition OF things
all around AS we have before
stated, this fighting for water
when there is no water to be
had, is a ridiculous plan, and if
the money now being spent in
law suits should be diverted to
the construction of a reservoir
and canal system it would be
much better for all hands con-
cerned. 1t is to be hoped that
the plan now being considered
will be carried to completion
and that everyone will lend all
the assistance possible to the
measure.

TEN. Yesterday a report found its way around the

taken Mr. Slows Mexican Central stock and
that ''the Gould Hartman interests likely to
make an effort to control Of the Mexican
Central property It is learned from excellent
sources that this rumor is not true so far as 1t
concerns Mr.. Gould personally, and for the
Gould Hartman plans, Wall Street would need a
good deal of proof to persuade II that the Gould
and Hartman interests so friendly to each
other TO be willing 10 act together in the acqui-
stion OF g property such as the Mexican Central.
Mr.. Stow has resigned director of the MeXi-
Central, il was announced yesterday, and James
