IMMENSELY OF IRRIGATION.

Vast Amount Of Land That Will Be
Reclaimed and Made Fertile For
Succeeding Generations BY the Gov
eminent.
The following was written for OPP
portunity by United States Senator H.
C. Hansbrough Of North Dakota. father
of the irrigation law:
Irrigation will play a great part in
settling the west, and will bring much
of its waste lands and all of It's waste
water into use.
Under the national irrigation law,
enacted just q. year ago, l believe that
fully 60. 00O, 900 acres. or about ten per
cent of the present public domain area,
will be reclaimed; but 1t will require
at least forty years time in which to
do it. This means homes for about
two millions of people on the farms,
and half as many more in the cities.
villages and hamlets. During the
same time private enterprise will re-
claim 10000, 900 acres. which would
afford homes and employment for an
additional two millions of people: or
100, 900 900 acres of reclamation and
five millions of population in some
thing less than half a century.
1t is difficult to estimate the value of
this new real property. with its per-
sOnalty, but it cannot be an exaggera-
ton to say that it would amount to at
least S., 200, 900 900. The work thus
far under the new law has been wholly
of a preliminary nature. 1t is expect
ed that the Secretary of the Interior
will sOOn announce the location and
character of the first enterprises to
be entered upon. This announcement
will be in the nature of a proclamation
withdrawing from entry the lands to
be irrigated, that is. withdrawing them
from entry under any of the land laws
except the irrigation act. Under this
act the entrymen must have all the
qualifications of a homesteader, and
among other things must contract to
pay. in not less than ten installments,
his pro rata share of the cost of the
works by which he is to be supplied
with water. He must also live upon
and cultivate the land. The law is
thoroughly safeguarded so as to pre-
vent speculation.
In framing their constitutions nearly
all the western states inserted the
most stringent provisions as respects
the control of streams, and nobody ex-
poets the Secretary of the Interior to
have an easy time of it adjusting dis
putes that must necessarily arise. I'm.
%doubtedly the federal supreme court
must pass upon many of the controver-
sizes before orderly progress is as
sured. No doubt if some of the states
were to make their organic laws they
would be much more liberal. Indeed,
there is reason to believe that several
of the states, in order to get the full
benefit of national irrigation. will
amend their constitutions. SO as to
give the federal government the right,

Hannah More said that sin was
generally to be attributed to
biliousness. No doubt a crippled
liver with the resulting impure
blood, is the cause of more mem

thing. A chronic dyspeptie, says
an eminent English physician, is
always on the verge of mental
upset. And who can reckon up
the fearful aggregate of pain,
loss and fear arising from the
many ailments and diseases
which are familiar to mankind.
Like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.

(Conclusion.)

(Conclusion.)
The influence of this society, both
among the white residents and seamen
visiting this port, was believed to be
most salutary. For a time it seemed
that the tide of intemperance had been
checked. Much was hoped from a nigh
license law which had recently been
enacted by the government, and at first
the number OF liquor selling places was
diminished. In Honolulu they Were re-
duced from fifteen to nine in 1S43. But
in 1874 there were eleven, and in 1S45
seventeen; showing that here as else
where, and then as now, the profits on
selling liquor are so great that no IL
cense ever assessed will prevent men
from buying it and dealers frora selling
it.
In 1852 this society numbered 102
members. A series of public lectures
was inaugurated, among which was one
by Mr.. Z. G. Beckwith, who spoke upon
the motion Resolved, That the people
VI A4OAAOl0iu, III lbC OPlllOu VI lLlS SNc1-
ETY., have not done their duty upon the
subject of temperance" He showed
that the French treaty did not require
this. government to license numerous
grog shops, as they were then doing
1T was not in the bond" Let there
be but one Gehenne in Honolulu" he
said. He argued, moreover, that if this
treaty did require the government to
license the sale of spurious liquors, it
was virtually q forced obligation, and
the government would be justifeI m /
violating the treaty.
About this time committee, con-
sisting of Messrs. E. O.. Hall, c. r.
Bishop and ]. Mott-Smith, was appoint
ed by this society to report upon the
laws regulating the sale of intoxicating
liquors in the kingdom. They gave a
very full and interesting report, in
which they came to these conclusiora:
Though the retailing of spirits is
strictly guarded by the statutes. it is
difficult to carry out any law

HISTORY OF TEMPERANCE
IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
Early Efforts to Keep Down the Drink Evil
Which Was introduced Here by
Botany Bay Convicts

/ whether its provisions might not be
advantageous to the necessities of the
temperance reform in these Islands.
There was in all these years a strict
tabu on selling or giving liquor to a
native Hawaiian. The first article of
the law of 1850, and which continued in
force until it was abolished in 1882,
read as follows: whoever shall sell,
give, purchase, or procure for and in
behalf of any native of this kingdom,
or for his use, any spirituous liquor or
other Intoxicating drink or substance,
shall be punished by a fine not exceed
ing two hundred dollars; and in default
of the payment of such fine, by impris-
onment at hard labor for term not
exceeding two years." The Minister of
the Interior was allowed to grant Ii
censes to retail liquors, but only in
Honolulu.
For several years we hear of little
temperance agitation till in July, 1853,
a new society, modelled after one exist
ing in California called the "Dasha-
ways" was organized. The popularity
of their pledge was that they only
promised to refrain from drinking spirits
and that for a definite time. They pur-
posed to dash away the cup and to sus-
tain each other in doing so; and seem
to have dashed into a needed existence
after five years of the almost unrebuked
reign of intemperance here. 1t doubt
less helped some men to reform; but
after some two years it dashed out of
existence as suddenly as it came, and
we hear of it no more.
From that time for twenty years, !
except in Honolulu, the Islands were
under practical prohibition. 1t was
very difficult for the natives anywhere !
to obtain spirits. and there was little
among them.
In 1882 the law-prohibitory as affect
ing Hawaiians-which had practically
been in force for sixty years, under
which the Hawaiian natives had passed
from infancy to manhood, was repealed,
against the protests and petitions
of thousands of our best citizens-we
might almost say of all who had the
real interests of the natives at heart
Let it be repeated that this law was
not forced uIon the natives by for
eigners, nor by any foreign power, but
was nrSt devised by the chiefs, under
ehe regency of Kaahumanu, and re-
peatedly reenacted under different
forms under many subsequent admin
situations. Ard this too against the
continual opposition of individuals and
nations whose claims to superior cult
vation might we'll be questioned
In its place the liquor law of 1882 was
passed, allowing the Minister of the
Interior to grant licenses to sell liquors

having a license to sell other goods. It's {
