leigh counties were not deemed to be
worth over IS an acre for grazing pur-
poses. This opinion was held not by a
few but by many. The increase Of
population in the United States how
ever, seems to have become suddenly
realized for the value Of our lands was
seen by outsiders before the people
residing at home saw it. When It Is
known that homes for about 100000
Of the nation's population will have to

the nation growing by natural increase

WILL NOT SINK ....
ARTESIAN WELLS
Construction Put Upon the New Irrigation
Law Does Not Permit Sinking Of Arte-
sian Wells.

Numerous are tho private misinter-
Spretations Of the Reclamation Act
;Of these one Of the most popular con-
Germs the sinking Of artesian wells.
Day after day the mail is burdened
with petitions addressed to the De-
partment Of the Interior begging the
government to dig wells for the sup
posed benefit Of certain communities.
In view Of the general interest in the
subject and the wide misapprehen-
sion Ia regard to the provisions Of the
5Acto June -, 1902, it would seem
well TO bring to the attention Of the
public the construction put on section
2 Of the Reclamation Act by the Sec
rotary OF the Interior. .y..s .
The act provides that all moneys
received from the sale and disposal Of
public lands In certain states and
territories shall be reserved, set aside,
and appropriated as q special fund in
the treasury, to be known as the "re-
clamation fund.- to be used In the ex-
animation and survey for and the con
struction and maintenance Of irriga-
ting works for the storage, diversion,
{ and development Of waters for the re-
#clamation Of arid and semi-arid lands
In certain states and territories. Sec
ton 2 Of this act reads as follows:
That the Secretary of the Interior
I Is hereby authorized and directed to
make examination and surveys for,
and to locate and contract as herein
provided, irrigation works for the
I storage, diversion, and development
OF waters, including artesian wells,
and to report to congress at the
beginning OF each regular session as
to the results Of such examinations
and surveys, giving estimates Of cost
Of all contemplated works, the guam
tity and location Of the lands which
can be irrigated therefrom, and all
facts relative to the practicability OF
each irrigation project; also the cost
Of works In process Of construction, as
well as Of those which have been COM
pleted." y. tss5.,.
The phase Including artesian wells

aminattons and surveys will probably
be necessary to the sinking Of any
artesian well, but the secretary holds
that no reasonable construction Of the
language used viii sustain the conclu-
sion that the act contemplates the
sinking Of such wells as part Of the
preliminary examinat ions authorized.
It has been asked whether It is per
missible under the law to sink arte-
sian wells that would supply water for
purposes when there are no reasons
for supposing that water can prob
ably he had, or when it is suspected
that the well will produce salt or aka
line water instead Of fresh water, suit
able for irrigation. ..,z ,.zz;,.| z555
It has also been asked whether the
government will sink artesian wells in
localities where it Is believed that
fresh water may be had but 1t is not
probable that the water will be used
for irrigation; Or in places where the
Nater may be desired for other pur-
loses, and irrigation, although prac
tis able, is not absolutely necessary for
agriculture. ,# T. ....,.... .z..;..t s.. j
h In reply to these two questions, the
81 cretary of the interior states that
the purpose Of the act would seem to
=lesve no room for two opinions upon
t. csc matters. The fund created by
the act is to be used to develope and
oonserev the water supply for irriga-
ton purposes. Chimerical PROPOSE
tions are notSto be exploited. In the
prosecution Of this work no project

The supreme court has handed down
a decision in the case Of the state of
North Dakota ex rel Geo. M. Register,
states attorney, vs.. A. e. McGahey
and e. G. Patterson. The appeal is in
the case in which an Injunction was
issued and search warrant against the
basement of the Northwest hotel-the
case in which the 500 depot was also
searched and some 1873 cases Of beer
seized The court, in its decision, fol-
lows the McGahey case, stating that.
while an injunction may issue upon in
formation and belief of the states at

that that part of the. order of the dis

MAXIMUM COAL RATES.
Railroads are Not obeying the Rate
Law Passed at the Last Session.

Railroads are Not Obeying the Rate
Law Passed at the Last Session.
Grand Forks Herald: Railroad Com
missioner J. F. snea, Wahpeton, went
to Lakota this morning to confer with
Attorney General G. N Erich. relative
to the enforcement of the provisions of
the maximum coal rate bill passed at
the last session of the legislature. So
far the railroads operating in the state
have refused to comply with the pro-
visions Of the bill, which means re-
duction of 80 l-3 per cent in the freight
rates on long hauls, while but little
change is made by the bill for short
hauls.
The railroad companies entered a
protest at a meeting of the commits
sioners held at Fargo some time ago,
claiming that the new bill was unjust
and confiscatory. The commission
took no action at that time and the
railroads have continued to use the old
bill in making freight charges on coal
shipped within the state.
It is not unlikely that the commits
sion, through the attorney general will
make an effort to enforce the new
rates, and it is equally certain that the
railroad companies interested will
fight any effort in this direction to the
limit.

A Luminous idea.


The People.
Senator Barrett, of Csddo, and
Representative Marks, of Assump-
ton, evidently think that the poll
ticsl parties in Louisiana are not
exclusive enough, although in the
recent election the Republican
vote tumbled down to q fraction
over 5000 and the Democratic vote
to less than $4,000. They are Gre
dited with having in contempla-
ton bill that will require every
voter to declare his politics when
he registers. This will, of course.
60 long way further to reduce
the voting than the frequent regis
trations, but it won't hold the man
who wants to fly the track. Why
not require the voter absolutely to
show his ticket to sergant-at-
arms appointed by the powers that
be to inspect every mans ticket
and make him put in the right
one. under penalty of imprison-
ment at hard labor? So many
election commissioners are 30
green that, in places, they still
obey the law and give the voters
the facilities TO prepare their bal
lots themselves in privacy. With
this amendment, this proposition
would hit the bulls eye at every
shot and bring the voting in the
primaries and the elections close
down to the Office holders and
their right hand men-s truly Be-
lect mutual admiration society.

Stepfathers and Stepmothers.

Mention was made yesterday that
Mr.. Derouen's bill relative omar
riages was intended to prevent the
marriage of stepfathers and step
daughters and stepsons and step
mothers. This is the letter which
induced Mr.. Derouen to give the
notice of the bill:
Hon. Robert F.. Derouen,
New Iberia, La.
Dear Sir:
Will you kindly draft an act to
amend and re-enact article IS of
the civil code, as amended and re-
enacted by article 9 of 1902, so as
to include in the prohibitions to
marriages between persons the
prohibition of marriage between
the stepmothers and stepson and
of the stepfather and stepdaughter.
The reason for this request is
that lately a young man applied to
our parish priest to be married to
the widow of his father. The
priest refused to perform the cere.
mony on the ground that such a
marriage would be violative Of
common decency and morality and
would be destructive of morality,
which rests entirely on the purity
of marriages. As there is no civil
law prohibiting such marriages,
which are obnoxious only to the
canon laws. and as I do believe
that such law is more important
than the marriage of first cousins
1 would ask You to prepare q Law
as suggested. being satisfied thai
the additional amendment woulc
meet the approval of all the legis.
lators. Very truly yours.

High License.

By reference to another column
our readers will observe that the
Town Council has promulgated
another ordinance providing for
the levying OF . One Thousand
Dollar license on all retailers of
alcoholic liquors within the corpo-
ration. By recent decision, the
city lost its case by reason of in
formality of PRONUNCIATION and the
failure to sign same at proper
time. No such fatal error has been
made this time, and although one-
half of the revenues from this
source will be- lost for this year,
the new ordinance will go into eff
feet and be collectible June LIST
1904, thus giving seven months rev.
enues. 1t is presumed the liquor
dealers will also attack this ordi-
nance but with less show of sue
cess than heretofore. The power
to impose this license and. collect
the same rests with the municipal.
ity, and to oppose'it now that it is
in proper shape, would simply be
lost time and money for in the end
it must be paid. We trust no lit
tigation will ensue.

Important Legislation.



We direct our readers attention
to public notice appearing in an
other column, announcing that q
bill will be introduced during the
session of the General Assembly
of the State of Louisiana provid-
ing for the establishment of a
water level for Spanish. or LAX Q
Tasse in this and the neighboring
Parish of St. Martin, and for the
care and protection of said lake,
also providing penalties for inter-
fering with said water level, when
once established.
1t has been q source Of keen re-
greet to our people that this beauti-
full and picturesque little lake has
been invaded by the cold-blood ma
terialist and greedy money maker
to the extent of almost destroying
this lovely body of fresh water
and the home of some Of the finest
fish in the State. For years the
encroachments of interested per-
sons have gradually reduced the
area until now it is barely one
fourth it's original size. We heart
lily approve of the measure to re-
store to its proper area this lake,
and trust that the bill will have
the hearty cooperation Of all our
people.

Enormous Boil Weeya Loss.

Notwithstanding the destructive
effects of The boil weevil end boEl
worm and early frosts, the Texas
crop in 1903 shows decrease Of
only &c, 932 bales, or q little over 4
per cent as compared with 1902.
Careful inquiry regarding the boil
weevil has developed the fact that
this insect is now in 96 of the l7B

as'and destroyed cotton of the crop
of 1903 amounting to 739, $50 bales,
which is the difference between an
ample and q short crop for the
country. Including the value of
the seed the loss is equivalent to
$40, 272;989,
A conservative estimate of the
loss resulting to Texas from the
imperfect weather conditions
which affected that section, in
common with the other cotton
states, is placed at 227. 945 bales.
