made it seem necessary on the farm to work
from sunrise to shutdown, and often longer.
Now is there any reason why farm work, as
a rule, should need these long hours? We
tried the ten-hour system with success on
the farm years ago, and we found that the
men accomplished just as much, if not more,
than those around us who worked during all
the hours of sunlight. In fact, Our work
was usually ahead of theirs. man who
knows that he is to keep at it from sun to
sun will naturally favor himself, while the
man who is looking for little while tor
himself in the evening, will be willing to put
more exertion rto his task. If the farm
hand is encouraged to read the farm papers
and is given time to do it he will become
more efficient hand. There is nothing, in
our opinion, that will tend more to the I'M
provement of farm labor than shorter hours
for work Men will always be willing to
put in some extra time If pinch when the
hay is to be hurried in or other crops saved
if they know that it is extra time and is to be
paid for as extra time. In short we need
more business methods on the farm IN many
WAYS, and the shorter hours will help in this
direction-G. WEIGH

Wide Tires.

Are call the go' in many parts where
few years ago not one could be seen. They
seem to be gaining in favor all over the
country, Judging from the number of wide
tires we see scattered over the country. On
hard prairie roads it does not seem SO
important have tires tina will pack and
smooth the road, in place of cutting it into
rutty mess; for most of our roads are too
hard to be cut up, but judging from some OF
the recent experiments made it pays to have
wide tires on smooth hard roads nearly or
quite as we'll as on soft ones. In a late ad-
dress upon the sibject Prof. c. F. Curtiss
expressed himself as follows:

The Law of Water Diversion.
H. N. Haynes

It is manifest1y the intention of the law
that the water commissioner should act as
faithful servant of all the appropriations on
the stream, to see that their rights are pro-
tected under the judicial DEGREES. The adj
ministraton of the water system OF the state
was provided by the legislature so that there
should be some one person to act as agent
for all to see that their rights were respected,
so as to obviate the necessity OF FARMERS,
busy with their agricultural work, employ
ing a man to patrol the stream and to dis
cover whether or not they were defrauded OF
their preptrty rights. 1t is to be feared that
there are too many water commissioners
who are neglectfu1 of the emphatic language
of the statute requiring them to be con-
stantly watchful.
Too many commissioners wait to nave
complaint made to them of unlawful diver
sions. without themselves taking the lnlt1a-
tive in such matters. 1t is evidently not the
purpose of statute that a water commits
sioner shall draw a fairly liberal per diem
merely for giving orders concerning few
of the main bitches in his district and wait
ING for some one to complain that wrong
full diversion is being made by late ditch
from some slough or tributary, or from the
main stream itself but that she should be
actively concerned and have his assistants
under his Immediately supervision active to
watch for abuses and to prevent them, II
necessary by the full force of the country.
statute was passed in 1880 to enforce
greater vigilance on the part of the water
commissioners. The vesting of water com,
missioner with the power of constable and
imposing upon him the duty OF prosecuting
for violation of his orders and particularly
making it his duty to be actively employed
supervising and directing putting IN head
gates, waste-gates, ETC., grew out OF the need
of the hour A clause was inserted making
it misdemeanor subject to $50 fine to will
fully neglect his duty and this fact indicates
that the legislature was led to believe that
the previous general definition of the duty to
divide the water according to the prior
rights of all was not found in practice suffi-
GENTLY definite to bring forth the activity
needed.

The President and the Farmers.
TbaoJnra Pnnceue1t

II
In country like ours is is fundamentally
true that the well-being of the tiler of the
soil and the wage-earner is the well-being of
the state. If they are we'll off, then we need
concern ourselves but little as to how other
classes stand, for they will inevitably be
we'll off, too, ond on the other hand there can
be no real general prosperity unless based
on the prosperity of the tiller OF the SOIL
But the needs of these two classes are often
not the same The tiller of the soil has been
of all our citizens the one on the whole the
least affected in his ways of life and methods
of industry by the giant industrial changes
of the last half-entury.
There has been change with him. too, OF
course. He also can work to best advan-
tage if he keeps in close touch with his
fellows and we believe much can be done
for him by rational action OF the govern
ment One of the greatest and most bene-
hcient measures passed by the late congress,
or indeed by any congress in recent years, is
the irrigation act, which will do for the
states of the great plains and the Rocky
mountain region at least as much as ever has
been done for the states of the humid region
by river and harbor improvements. Few
measures that have been put upon the stat
ute books of the nation have done more tor
the people than this law will, | firmly be-
lieve, directly and indirectly accomplish for
the states in question.
There are a number of very important
questions, such as that of good roads, with
which the states alone can deal and where
all that the national government can do is
to cooperate with them. The same IS true
of the education of the American farmer. A
rumber of the states have themselves
started in to help in this work, and they are
accomplishing a good deal in the most prac-
tical way. It is, therefore, clearly true that
a great advance has been made in the dlrec-
ton of finding ways by which the govern
ment can help the farmer to help himself
the only kind of help which self-respect1ng
man will accept or | may add-which will
If the end do him any good.
Much has been done in these ways and
farm life and farm processes continually
change for the better The farmer himself
still retains because of his surroundings and
the nature of his work, to a pre-emnent de-
gree the qualities which we like to dwell
upon as distinctly American in considering
Our early history The man who tills his
own farm, whether on the prairie or in the
woodland the man who grows what we eat
and the raw material which is worked up
into what we wear, still exists more nearly
under the conditions which obtained when
the embatt1ed farmers of 70 made this coun-
try nation than is true of any others OF our
people.

ANOTHER YAQUI BATTLE
Which Has Been Pulled Off in the
 Newspapers.

In the Tombstone Prospector that reached here yesterday there is an ac- count of an alleged battle between the Yaquis on one side and Americans and Mexicans onthe other, at San Mar cial fifty miles south of La Cananea. The story says that the Indians at tackled the town and were repulsed af- ter several hours of fighting, and that J. J. McAllister. Frank Pendleton, Sam Marshall. Ed Schultz and Ed Carol were killed.
 The story was shown to Robert Mitchell. general superintendent of the Green Consolidated mines, who was at the Hotel Adams in company with Dr. Van Dorn also of Cananea. MT. Mitch ell said the men named were employed by him but he had had no advices of any trouble at San Marcial and did not believe any had occurred. He thought the story was only one more of the many fakes that have originated out of the Yaqui troubles.
 The story says the 2,O00 inhabitants of the town fought fiercely and MT. Mitchell says there are only 400 people in the town. Further than than that the Americans there have had no trouble whatever with the Indians.

Paine's Celery Compound comes to the aid of suffering humanity when the best efforts of physicians prove fruit less-when hopeless men and women are pronounced incurable.

 Several years ago l was stricken with nervous prostration, and two doc tors declared that no medical skill could ever cure me. One of your books came into my hands just when l was very low with nervous prostration ond congestion. After reading it, l asked and begged for Paine's Celery Com pound. The medicine was procured for me, and you may think l am using exaggerating statements when l say that three bottles cured me, and made me feel like a new woman My pres ent condition of health certainly owe to the marvellous virtues of Paine's Celery Compound.

CURRENT COMMEAT
The United c ,untry.

Love feasts Letween men of the north and south have become so common of late years that ey have ceased to at tract much attention. Yet such an in- cident as last nights dinner of the Confederate Veterans camp of New York, with it's toast to the president and its addresses on Lincoln, Davis and Lee, is really a remarkable occurrence It would be inconceivable in any other country. British and Boers, indeed have fraternized since the war. but they are not of the same blood En- mites aroused in civil war are usually strong and lasting. That they have so far died out in the United States as to permit such Q programme as that at the dinner last night testifies to the fine re2sonableness of the American people
 But the happy outcome was helped nightly by the influence of one man nobert F. Lee. In his address on Lee last night it may be imagined that Mir. Charles Francis Adams had this fact in mind, although it is not men toned in the fragmentary report of his speech On a former occasion MT Adams elaborated this phase of the sit uation. In his opinion, when the army of Northern Virginia was finally at bay at AppomatoX. it was generally ex- pected that the resistence would be continued with guerrilla warfare. For instance, the Index, the official confed- crate organ of London. asserted upon the surrender of Lee that "the war is far from concluded" At a cabinet council held in Greenboro. N C., after the flight from Richmond, Jefferson Davis advocated a policy of prolonged resistence. ''I think" he said, we can whip the enemy yet, If our people will turn out"
 General Alexander. Lees chief of ar tillery. is quoted by Mir Adams as not expecting for a moment that the strug- gle would be abandoned after Appo- matox. MT. John s. Wise has reported a conversation between his father. General Wise, and Lee, in which Wise said: "h you demand the sacrifice. there are still left thousands of us who will die for you" Tn an editorial the London Times asserted: These terri tories are too vast to be occupied. and the clements of rebellion they contain are too ripe to be left to themselves. They may be penetrated in every di- rection. but We do not see how they are to be held or subdued" MT. Adams concludes that the situation after An pcmatox was like that in South Africa after Lord Roberts had entered Pre- torla. Had Lee proved as implacable
