FIFTY YEARS AGO.

The Spokane SpokcSman-Rc yiaw
calls attention. TO the fact that is in
teresting to all people of the great
northwest. It says:
It is just 80 years ago this summer
that General Isaac I. Stevens and
Tartan GEORGE r. Mcclellan made
their tri0 of exploration and survey
with view to determining the prac-
ticahilitv of a railroad from the Up
per Mississippi to Puget Sound.
They found that it was possible to
select such line, and 20 years later
the Northern Pacific was COMPLETED
from Minnesota to the Puget Sound.
and a coed part ot it over the route
recommended by the two army Off
GERS who made the original eXamina-
ton Of the country.
This search for 2 northern railroad
route across the continent was Il
wears before the building Of the Union
Poetic. and ii was undertaken at a
time when railroad to the Pacific
was considered doubtful project,
And vet. in little more than 50
years since work began on the first
transcontinental line six great roads
have been constructed to the west
ern ocean and others are slowly but
surely pushing toward a terminus on
the same GREAT sea. With this rail
road construction has been witnessed

II is interesting to note that the
line picked out by Stevens from the
Missouri to the Rocky mountains is
the one now followed by the Grea'
Northern. and the Stevens route from
Helena to Spokane is the one follow
ed b. the Northern Pacific: also tina
the approach to the Cascades up thu

top of Ossa by the announcement
that the very inspector sent by the
interior department to investigate
the frauds is himself the object of
charges by the Indian Rights asso-
citation of connection with a company
which seeks to despoil the Indians of
their property.
There are difficulties even in the
way of cleaning out the grafters; the
members of the Dawes commission
have complete knowledge Of Indian
affairs. and they are all under
charges. They have acted in way
to perpetuate their power, making
contracts in which they have named
themselves as the executors they
have exceeded their powers in taking

The interior department and the
department Of Justice will make sep
arata investigations, and the results
will ho laid before the president. and
we are glad to note that the two
members of the commission against
whom the gravest charges have been
made demand a thorough inquiry.
We hope the investigation may be
speedy 1t is a terrible thing that
the Indians should be robbed. and it
is pitiabla that they chould be further
wrOnged by the confusion which
would result from throwing the Dawes

even than that. which is to permit
persons to whom a sacred trust has

found guilty Of the charges brought
against them.

DEMOCRATIC POLITICS

Considerable talk has been heard
rCpently about the 'reorganizers' in
the democratic party, but Judging by
where primaries and conventions
have been held the Importance of the
so-called "reorganizers' has been
greatly magniGed for in neither of
those states did they make respect
able showing. Nebraska and Ohio
are the two states where conventions
have been held In Nebraska it was
the old question of fusion and anti
fusion with the populists, and the
friends and supporters of w. j.
BRYAN carried the day for fusion. In
Ohio it was Tom l.. Johnson and
other friends of Mr.. Bryan who ruled
the convention, and while no test
vote was taken it was apparent that
the Cleveland forces were greatly in
the minority.
While these matters are not OF
themselves subjects of much import
ance they are political straws which
show in what direction the wind is
apt to blow next year. While they
do not point to the nomination of Mr.
Bryan next year they indicate that
his influence will he a potent factor
in the selection Of a candidate for the
presidential race. In point of inf1u
ence Mr.. Bryan is no doubt the
greatest living democrat and demo
candidate will UOllbf he
selected who is agreeable to Mr.
Bryan, and any other course would
be suicidal.

The action >of Gov rnor Peabody
of Colorado in sending state troops
into the Cripple Greek district against
the protest of the mayo" and of the
sheriff of the county deserves to rank
as an act Of tyranny. No violence
has occurred and the striking miners
have pledged themselves to main
tain order In spite of this the gov
ernor has sent IL troops and 1t seems
that he has taken this action for the
purpose of placing ah unneca ssary
libel upon the laboring men of Grip
pie Creek. When violence threatens
no one can rriticise the sending of
state troops. but this int difference by
'hc governor is called unfair. AS be
tween capital and labor the governor
should be impartial, but in sending
troops into C"ipnlo Creek he has
been most unfair toward the wage
Garner, because the presence of the
troops implies that the striking min
crs arc law breakers which from the
facts at hand does not appear to be
true.

the ground from these laterals. The
other is to irrigate by means of shall
low bitches of burrows placed three
or four feet apart. The water is al
lowed to fow in these shallow chan
nels till the ground is thoroughly
moistened between them. There has
been no attempt in these investiga-
tions to reach any conclusions as to
tho relative efficiency or economy Of
these two methods of handling the
water. We do not find either one of
these methods confined to particular
localities, but they are found prac-
ticed side by side in the same COM
munities. The method of irrigation
by flooding seems to be the more pop
ular Of the two. OF the number stat
ing how the irrigation done, 6S per
cent report that flooding is practiced.
Native hay may be considered as
one OF the most important crops
grown in the humboldt Valley. 1t is
the most important if measured eIlner
by the area devoted to it or by the
total value of the crop. The areare-
ported in native hay is $3.50 acres.
This is about "A per cent of the ir-
rigated area of the Humboldt Basin.
The total estimated yield in 1900 vas
50, 0 tons. and the average estimated
value is $22O,44 so, or about $40
per ton. At these figures, the estimat-
eo value per acre for native hay is

the most important crop of the Hum
boldt Basin. In a few cases The num-
Der of tons is estimated from meas
urements of the stacks; in other
cases estimates are given from the
number and size of the stacks without
measurement In still other instances
the estimates of yields are made from
the time required to feed it out, to-
gether with the number and kinds Of
animals fed during the time. In other
cases the estimates are doubtless lit
tie more than guesses on the part of
the individuals making them. For
these reasons the report of the area
irrigated and the crops produced,
must be taken as approximations.
In some instances it was impos-
sible to obtain even an estimate of
the yield or the value of the crops.
In calculating the total yield it has
been assumed that these areas produc-
ed the average yield, as determined
from those where the statements were
oorD1ete Tho mean value has also
been assumed in those instances
where estimates of value could not
be obtained. From all sources of in
formation available. it is estimated
that the total number of acres irri-
gated in the basin of the Humboldt
in 1900 was about $500. Reports
more or less complete have been OBJ
tanned from 1882 acres.
ALFALFA
The number of acres of alfalfa re-
ported was 1880. The yield was 3d.
Csc tons. or about 2.S5 tons per acre.
The total value as estimated by the
growers was $2O6.57 50 or 50 So per
ton.
IRRIGATION OF ALFALFA
The number of times this crop was
irrigated depended on the supply of
water. Nearly 1000 acres were re-
ported to have been irrigated only
once. The average yield was 2.9O
tons per acre. Thirty-fve acres were
irrigated six times. The yield in this
instance vas two tons per acre. Six
acres were reported as being irrigat-
ed seven times and the yield was ESQ
per acre. The figures do not show
very much, as there is no means of
determining the quantity of water
applied in the case. The largest aver
age result was for four irrigations,
which was about $50 tons per acre.
The average value of the alfalfa crop
per acre for the area reported is
81. O4.
In the irrigation of alfalfa there are
two methods employed; one is flooding
which is similar to the practice in
Colorado and Utah. OF having laterals
laid through the field distances OF
from 40 to so feet apart and flooding

INVESTIGATIONS

To collect the data concerning the
r irrigated, the ariety, yield and
value of the various crops grown In
the Humboldt Valley annually, an eff
fort has been made to interview each

OF the 315 persons owning or occupy

soBaI interview was obtained with 230,
or a little more than 73 per cent. In
the majority Of cases the irrigated
areas given are the estimates OF the

are cultivated In fields Of irregular
