"A Wise Appropriation.

The assistant city engineer recon-
mends the expenditure Of $4,000 on
streets connecting with important
country roads. The value of good
roads is no longer debatable ques-
ton, and nowhere is the case clearer
than in the matter of highways lead
ing to market. The assistant city en-
gineer wants to surface and gravel
the principal driveway to Fort Shell
ing, and in view of the growing i'm
portance of that post, the existence
Of no roadway connecting the fort
and the city that can be travelled with
ease and comfort at all seasons Of the
year, is a fact that adds nothing to
our credit as a wideawake community,
but operates greatly to our disadvan-
tage in a business way. The amount
necessary in that direction Is esti-
mated at $4,000.
Lyndale avenue south, which leads
to an, important farming district, will
require $500 if it is to be put in good
condition. Western avenue or Sixth
avenue north and other streets con-
Meeting with important country roads
will require various sums, aggregat-
ing $4,000, according to the engi-
neer's department. Assuming thai
these figures are correct, the proposed
sum could hardly be expended more
prof1tably than in making the bust
ness center as accessible as possible
to all the residents of the adjacent
farms and villages.

Small Scale Irrigation.

Irrigation by wells seems a slow
process, but the aggregate of results
amounts to much. In this manner
not adapted to irrigation by canal.
Edmunds county, South Dakota, is not
in the arid belt, but by the use OF arte-
sian wells, farmers there, as we'll as in
other parts of South Dakota, have
done much toward improving the con-
ditions of farm life. A report pub
lished in T h e j o n a yesterday
said that lao wells are now in active
operation in that county.
Another form of irrigation that may
yet accomplish much is that of elevat-
ing the water from rivers and small
streams by means Of pumps. There
are considerable areas along such
rivers as the Missouri that can be ir-
rigated in this manner, and, perhaps,
in no other manner except by the ex-
penditure of excessive amounts of
money. In western North Dakota,
where irrigation is desirable as crop
the topogra ply is such that
very little of the land can be irrigated
except by pumping the water from the
streams. Fortunately there is thru
out this region bountiful supply OF
Ignite coal. One farmer on the Green
river in North Dakota is already irri-
eating by means of pump using lig-
mite as fuel. He has got satisfactory
results.
This form Of irrigation will prob
ably be one of the last to develop on
a large scale, however 1t will be
gradually taken up from time to time
by farmers here and there who are
advantage situated with respect
to water and fuel In time it may

OFFICIAL REGULATION IN RUSSIA

There, is a Russian proverb that God

that the emperor does not know the mis-

he does not know what goes on in his own
residence. It is said to be actually true
that in the huge Winter Palace, which is
as big as a pyramid, the minor Officials
turn d penny by letting out the top rooms
and artics to colonies of moujiks and their

another's populations for fear of being

York woman" he said, "called on Emer-
son one morning The philosopher was
reading in his study, and near him. on a
plate, there lay little heap of cherry
stones. The visitor slipped one of these
stones in her glove. Some months later
she met Emerson again at a reception in
Boston. She recalled her visit to him, and
then she pointed to the brooch she wore
brooch Of gold ana brilliants, with the
cherry stone set in the center. I took
this stone from the plate at your elbow

1t is estimated that there are a hundred
thousand fraudulent naturalization papers
held in Greater New York and vicinity
Many of them are clear forgeries while
others are substitutions. In any case, the
fraudulent papers are intended to secure
a vote for a man who has not been five
years in the United States. Fraudulent
papers mean counterfeit votes. With the
close prospect in New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, these frauds may be-

Dave Hill as an Issue.

Ordinarily, when man renders a.
service to his country or to his party,
generous recognition Of the act af-
fords him great deal of pleasure
Just how much David Hill will extract
from the applause which followed the
announcement of his proposed retire
ment from active participation in
democratic politics it would be diff
cult to estimate. Columns are de-
voted by democratic papers these days
to congratulating Judge Parker and
the party upon the expectation that
Mr.. Hill Is not to be conspicuous
hereafter as the adviser and friend
of the democratic candidate.
And yet it must be admitted that
Judge Parker owes his nomination to
David B. Hill more than to any other
man. Hill discovered him. Parker
had never done anything to command
the recognition of his claims to the
presidency by the party at large until
Hill succeeded in making him New
York's candidate. That was clever
politics, and no one will deny that
Mr.. Hill is clever politician. In
deed, his willingness to back out now
and retire into comparative obscu-
rity is an evidence of his cleverness.
He relieves the situation of embar-
rassment because of the intense
prejudice against himself personally
in the minds Of a great many demo-
Gratis; but it Is not fair to Judge Par
ker to assume that he will not accord
to Mr.. Hill that recognition to which
he is entitled, in case the democracy
is triun1phant}at the elections. Hill is
spoken Of for secretary of state if
Parker should be elected. On the
score of service to Parker he is rich
ly entitled to it. Indeed, the election
of Parker would in all probability
mean the substitution of David Ben
nett Hill for. John Hay, and the prob
ability is SO strong that it has become
one Of the issues Of the campaign in
the minds of many who appreciate the
services Of our great secretary of state
| and desire that he stay where he is
as long as he can be induced to do so.
