A New One on Mckenzie.

ST. Paul Globe: Alex Mckenzie,
king of North Dakota politics, who has
made and won some of the hottest
and best political fights in the history
of the American game, tells a good
story of his first lesson in practical
politics.
In the early days Mckenzie was a
detective and police officer. He vas
serving a Montana constituency as
sheriff. In search of a murderer he
struck a mining camp infested by bad
negroes. Waiting for something to
turn up he was idly watching a game
of cards, technically known as two
pluck one" in which two black sharks
were comfortably and rapidly skinning
a third negro of a substantial sack of
gold dust.
A fourth and particularly desperate
appearing dinge strolled over to the
table, quickly comprehended the situa-
ton, and demanded:
kin git a seat at dis table, gents?''
mo, sab; Use losing my one fas'
'nough jes as it Is" promptly replied
one Of the sharks.
The newcomer bad man backed
away from the table and began to hum
softly the first bars of a negro ditty
enjoying a u of popularity at that
time
Use Sim Bundy. bad as sin,
Dun bruk up dis yere game
II you dom le' me in"
The bad mar at the table quickly
took in the situation, and figuring the
newcomer had the goods he offered to
deliver. one of them to the same air.
chanted back:
"Dey Fir t no 'cassion to sing dat song,
You is declared in from dis time on"
"And there's practical politics for
you" declared Mckenzie, who knows
the game backward.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION MEETING.

North Dakota Will BE Represented at
the Meeting to Be Held at Ogden.
North Dakota will probably be pref
ty well represented at the Ogden meet
ing of the National Irrigation congress.
The arid and semi-arid region OF the
United States embrace the western
portion of North and South Dakota,
Montana, Idaho and Eastern Oregon
and Washington. Over all this region
the rainfall, although usually sufficient
to keep alive the native grasses that
afford sustenance to the sheep and
cattle that are pastured on their plains,
is wholly inadequate for agricultural
purposes. But the soil of many mil
ions of acres tributary to these north
ern tran~scontinental lines is stored
with the elements of inexhaustible fer
| tility, and all 1t needs is water to
transform its dry and barren wastes
into fruitful fields of grain and bloom
ing gardens, and orchards laden with
| all the varieties of northern fruits.
There is plenty of water for the pur-
pose in the rains and SHOWS condensed
from the clouds that wrap the noun
tain SUBMITS and in the mountain
streams that descend therefrom. And
provision has now been made, or par
TALLY made, by congress for inaugural
can be stored in reservoirs and con-
Quoted in canals and bitches through
out the millions Of acres of this now
almost solitary desert and converting
them into farms and homesteads for
actual settlers. The whole purpose Of
this desert land Law is to make homes
of not more than 100 acres for actual
settlers. 1t will require a very watch
full and vigorous administration Of the
law to defeat the efforts of spectators
to get hold of the land in large tracts
for grazing purposes. which they are
doing or trying to do by all sorts Of
devices. BY the census of 1900 there
was only a little over 900, 900 acres Of
irrigated land in Montana. But since
the passage of the desert land law
claims for about 32O,O00 acres have
been taken up in the Great Falls land
district, covering eleven counties,
alone. None of this claimed land has
yet been irrigated and no title to it can
be secured until it is irrigated. And
n of the objects sought by the irri-
CATION congress is to see hat the pur-
pose of the law, that the irrigated land
shall go only to the settlers of home
steads not exceeding 100 acres, shall
be carried out to the letter.

eral land ONCE. That official has pre-
scented statistics showing that under
the operation of that law alone the
government has disposed of property
worth $3.50. OO0, 900 for about $4,000,
600. This represents the peoples loss
on foreign lands only. To it must be
added the objectionable waste OF our
irrigable lands under the desert land
act.
The public lands, says Mr.. Maxwell,
are being absorbed into private own
ership by the operation Of these two
laws-laws apparently framed for
the exclusive benefit Of cattle kings
and lumber barons-at a most appal-
ling rate and under conditions that
practically preclude the possibility Of
reclamation and settlement. Under
clause of the homestead act and the
timber and stone act. locations are
being made at the rate Of more than
1000, 900 acres a month. The Is $780,
900 acres a year thus given to a COM
paratively few persons to be rendered
almost worthless to the people forever
more should be supporting hundreds
of thousands of small farmers and
would be even now II congress had
shown ordinary wisdom in the conser-
walton Of our public lands and common
foresight in making provision for irri-
cation.
Some Of our national domain may
yet be saved to relieve the congestion
of population in the cities, and to de-
wise ways of doing this is the object
of the irrigation congress that is to
assemble soon in Ogden, Utah. The
National Irrigation association num-
bers in its membership 1000 of the
leading commercial and industrial con-
Germs in the United States. 1t is en-
deavoring to secure the repeal Of the
timber and stone act, the desert lands
act and the Communication of the home
stead act. 1t proposes that the rem
nant of our public domain shall be re-
served for settlers, not for land grab
bers.
The president, in his last message to
congress, called attention to the
abuses under these laws and the SEN
ate committee on public lands has re-
ported favorably a bill for their re-
peal. In an interview in the Chi
cago Record Herald Mr.. Maxwell thus
states the case:
~ believe that irrigation is the key
note to the. settlement of the land
question in the United States. 1t really
transfers the value from the land itself
to the man who knows how t. till it
by irrigation. With a people who un-
derstand the intensive culture of the
land by irrigation, developed by prop
er agricultural education. this country
would sustain in comfort, plenty and
prosperity a thousand million people.
The aim of our association is to bring
this great solution of a vital national
. question before the notice of the peo-
pie, and eventually turn the tide Of
population from the cities back to the
land, where every man who wants it
may have a home from which he can
) gain by his own labor from his own
land a comfortable living for himself
and his family"
1t is the plain duty of congress to
remedy the evils complained of and
make our public domain, in fact as
we'll as theory, land for the people and
not for land grabbing monopolists.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
strong Position Of Agricultural Staples
Advance In Raw Cotton OF Much Com
Germ to the Trade.
Is cents. Sold By all medicine dealers.

New York, Dec. 5.-Bradstreet's
commercial report says: Better feel
ing, approaching optimism in some
lines, is due to improvement In retail
trade, stimulated by cold weather, the
advent of the holiday season and the
more normal tone Of public sentiment.
Jobbing trade In seasonable goods has
also expanded, as q result OF recorders
to fill depleted stocks. Back Of these,
apparently close connection in Its Of
feet upon sentiment, Is the strong po-
sition Of the agricultural staples.
More confidence 10 also shown in the
market for the cruder forms Of iron
and prices are steadier. Some indus
tries, notably -four milling in the
northwest and shoe manufacturing In
New England, are in apparently good
shape, with record-breaking shipments
noted for the season, but the advance
in raw cotton Is q matter Of concern
to the trade where, indeed, the posi-
bility Of curtailment is being mooted.
In the iron and steel trade shut-downs
more than offset assumptions.

THE LIFE-sAvING SERVICE.
The General Superintendent Tells Of the
Work Done by HIS Men During
the Past Year.

Washington, Dec. SIS. I. Kimball
the general superintendent of the life
saving service, in his annual report
says:
The number OF disasters to vessels
within the scope Of the operations oil
the Service during the year, while not
so great as in the last two preceding
years, was still considerably above
the average and the percentage Of loss
Of life to the number of lives involved
was practically the same, showing
that the high standard Of efficiency at
taiRed by the service has been main
tanned. The number Of lives lost was
"a, one less than last year, while the
number of persons involved, 1882 was
greater by 119.
The number Of disasters to the docu-
mented vessels was 346, carrying 1852
persons, Of whom 20 were lost. The
estimated value of these vessels and
their cargoes was $685. 15, Of which
$7,683,5S0 was saved and $1,164, 635
lost. Fifty-seven vessels were totally
lost. There were 351 casualties to un-
documented craft, sailboats, rowboats,
ETC., by which four lives were lost out
of a total of 655 persons imperiled.
The value Of property involved in
these minor casualties is estimated at
$2O2, 1856, of which only $4,470 was lost,
showing that the percentage Of prop
erty lost was lowered from 1876 to
1879 per cent. as compared with last
year.
The life-saving crews saved and as
sisted In saving 573 imperiled vessels
and their cargoes, besides affording as
slstance Of minor Importance to 438
other vessels, including craft of all
kinds.
In addition to this 218 vessels which
were running into danger Of strand
ing were discovered by the surf men
on patrol, 1893 at night and 20 in thick
weather in the day time and were
warned of their danger In time to
avoid disaster.
The net expenditure for the mainte-
nance of the service during the year
was $1,721, 727.N
The general superintendent pleads
for the extention Of the pension laws
to certain officers and enlisted men Of
the service and urges the creation of
retired list for those who become
physically disabled through age or in
jury or disease contracted in line Of
duty.
