Distribution Of Water ~ <4A

WASHINGTON, June cS.-The Of
flee OF experiment stations, United
States department Of agriculture. will
soon issue bulletin describing meth
DDS OF preparing land for irrigation and
applying water to crops In different
sections Of the arid region Of the United
States. 81
In this bulletin the methods of get
ting rid Of sagebrash, smoothing the
ground. building laterals, and dis
tributing water over fields as developed
by the experience of farmers in irri-
gated districts. are brought together
and described. The tools and imple-
ments used are illustrated and the cost
OF the work. based upon actual exam
pies in different states, is given.
The purpose - TO AFFORD beginners
a reliable guide, both as to the cost Of
bringing wild land under cultivation
and methods best suited to different
soils. climates and crops. The facts
included in this bulletin have been
by the irrigation investiga-
tons OF this ofhce acting in co-opera-
ton With the state experiment stations
and state engineers ofrces. s'@@
This bulletin brings out the fact, not
well understood. that the cost of pre-
pairing land for irrigation is in many
instances greater than the cost of
building canals and reservoirs. De-
tailed figures of the cost of checking
land show that it varies in certain dis
tricts in California from 1896 to $1s.0s
per acre. tN
This is more than twice the cost of
the canal systems in the San Joaquin
valley. California, which is given in the
report Of the Census bureau for 1902
as $4Ss per irrigated acre. Where the
of land is contracted for the
cost Of checking. The price Of pre-
pairing land for flooding is much less
but Is IS per acre In Wyoming. a..
The need of better understanding
Of this particular branch Of irrigation
practice is becoming more and more
Reservoirs and canals are
but means to accomplish a purpose.

ducts Of the soil. The value OF the ditch

Following swift upon the recent
decision of the U. S. Supreme Court
against the State OF North Carolina,
in the Butler-Russell intrigue, in IA
vor of South Dakota, whereby the
States interest in the North Caro-
lima Railroad is levied on, comes
now the placing of the A. & N. G. r.
r. in the hands of a receiver by IN
S. District Judge Purnell Thursday
in Raleigh, upon the petition Of a
nonresident party in interest.
The fact that the A. & n. G. r. r.
is administered directly by the State,
under a president and board of direc-
tors appointed by the Governor,
makes the interference by federal
authority the more startling and sus-
penseful as to where this rampant
spirit to set at naught the dignity
and rights of the State will end.
EAO AOO OA1y 10 lii U1OS1 " uOSO
Purnell a reflection upon the integ-
rity of the State in the conduct OF
her own affairs and institutions, but
it is the more alarming in that it is
calculated to destroy in the hearts
and consciences of the masses respect
for and obedience to the laws of the
Commonwealth, upon which the very
life of the State and the happiness
and prosperity of her people imme-
diately depend.
But this order of Judge Purnell,
and this atmosphere of federal inter
ference that is prevalent and widen
ing is in keeping with Republicanten
dency towards cetralization of power
and paternalism of government, and
it is up to the people in the coming
national election to reinstate Democ-
racy, which is the bulwark and safe
guard of the ~perpetuity Of our free
institutions.

THE A. \ n. c. R. R.
IT IS ORDERED INTO THE
HANDS OF A RECEIVER.
It Was Thrust Into the Federal
Court by a Certain Mr.. K.
S. Finch, of the City of
New York.

Raleigh News-Observer, Feb. 26.
The Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad has been taken UP bodily
and thrust into the Federal Court by
a certain Mr.. X. S. Finch, of New
York City, who recently bought a
little stock for the purpose of getting
a job for his friend McBee.
Capt. V. E. McBee, of Virginia,
who has now pending with the Gov
ernor a opposition to lease the At
lantic and North Carolina Railroad,
went to Norfolk as attorney with
Col. John w. Hinsdale, of this city,
taking with them MI. Finch, of
New York, complaint about the
bad management of the road and re-
quested the appointment of a re-
ceiver. All this they submitted to
Judge Thos. R. Purnell, of the
United States Circuit Court h ere
who is at %presentin Norfolk.
Capt. McBee was thereupon ap-
pointed by Judge Purnell temporary
receiver of the road until April 4th,
at which time the matter will be
heard on the question of continuing
the restraining order and receiver
ship until the Judge decides to con-
tinue this hearing until a later time.
This order was brought to Raleigh
Yesterday morning, and togethe
with the bill of complaint Of Mr..
Finch-of -New-YOrk, was filed in the
office of the Clerk of the Federal
Court here.
The appointment of Capt. McBee
as receiver of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad anne as a great
surprise to practically every one who
heard it yesterday. OF course the
State officials had known nothing
whatever of what was in the air
That was not to be wondered at.
