Washington, Dec. 23-In view o1
the reports thus far made by the geo.
logical survey in North Dakota, Sena-
tor Hansbrough was asked what he
thought Of the outlook. He said:
Investigation thus far made in
North Dakota by the reclamation
service, while they are not of an en-
cOuraging nature, must not be as

tion projects now In process of con-
struction in several sections OF the

DISHONEST NATIONS.

The following interview on foreign
credits that recently appeared in the
Financial Times Of London, with Mr..
James Cooper. the secretary of the
corporation of foreign bondholders,
shows what nations that are classed
as dishonest and unsafe to lend
money to, and how Colombia. which
the United States has had some rea-
son to think is q grating" nation, ia
considered In Europe q particularly
dishonest nation:
IF you take the countries Of Eu.
rope you will find they may be rough
ly grouped as follows: First class
states, those that can borrow at
per cent and under; second class
those that must offer I per cent or q
little more; and third. those that car
only obtain loans at per cent OF
over. The various Republics oi
Spanish America can be similarly
separated. In the first rank come
Chill, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico
Chill has, perhaps. the best record ol
all, having always faithfully fulfilled
it's obligations, except that during tht
war with Peru, between 1879 ant
1885, the sinking fund was suspended
This was q slight lapse from tn
straight path-not surprising unde
the circumstances-and was. thinl,
readily condoned by the bondholders
Bismarck daily tribune., 1903-12-23

Argentina and Brazil have, on the
whole. behaved honorably; 1t 10 true
they have both made funding ar
rangements-thati is, they have asked
the bondholders to accept bonds In
lieu Of cash in payment Of interest
for short period-but,. in view Of
the efforts they have undoubtedly
made to keep faith with their credi-
tors, think every reasonable man
will admit that, all things considered,
these Republics. as far as their direct
debts are concerned, deserve COM
mendation. Mexico has less n
vorable financial record, the present
debt representing series Of compo-
sitions forced on the bondholders.
Since President Diaz. however, came
into power an entirely different order
Of things has prevailed, and at the
present time the credit of Mexico is
as good as, or better, than that Of
any of it's sister Republics.
"And the second rank?
"In the second rank Spanish-Ameri-
can countries should place Uruguay,
though, If it will go on faithfully dis
charging its obligations, as it has done
for twelve years past. 1t ought very
soon to step into the first class. Then,
at some distance came alvador and
Nicaragua. which appear to be alive to
the Importance Of maintaining their
credit, and l think 1t would only be
fair to also include Paraguay, which
has had many difficulties to struggle
with owing to it's peculiar geographi-
cal position and the practical extermi-
nation of its adult male population in
the disastrous war with its more
powerful neighbors in 1S65-70.
"In the third rank we have a group

solved-what means shall be adopted
to get the water onto the land? En-
gineers who have traversed the river
say that, owing to the slight fall in
the river. gravity projects are imprac-
ticable. Yet this view 10 not accepted

But, accepting the theory that grav-
ity projects are impracticable, which

water may be pumped into reservoirs

stream. Under the irrigation law the
lands benefited must return to the

voirs at hand. it Is more than probable
that North Dakota will do its part in
the mater of irrigation and that the

Dear Sir: In answer to yours Of

cation that our system of irrigating
is by putting in q dam about three
feet high and pumping with q No. 8
centrifugal pump driven by 13 horse
power engine on IL to Is foot lift.
| have irrigated in this way every
dry season for the past ten years and
shall continue this plan in the future,
raising our dams and placing more
land under irrigation as fast as our
limited means will permit. This plan
of irrigating Is quite successful but
would recommend dams 6 to 8 feet
high and a No. 10 pump mounted to
facilitate moving, driven with a 20
to 25 horse engine. With such out
Mt hundreds Of acres could be water
ed along the valleys. We believe the
river channels with dams every two
miles or SO would hold sufficient wat
er to irrigate all the bottom lands in
the valleys. II in need OF more in
formation, write.-Respectfully.
