BLESSINGS OF IRRIGATION
laak.. for Hish..s s.ei.I s.a I.d..-

Makss for Highsst oeelaI sad Isdus-
trial Btatas-No Land Menopoly.
Hon. William K. Smyth, author of
arid America" has truly said that NO
consideration OF che subject can be ap-
preciated when u starts with the narrow
view that irrigation IL merely an ad-
junct to Agriculture. II Is a social and
industrial factor in mucn broader sense.
1t not only makes Il possible for civil
ization 20 rise and flourish In the midst of
desoiate wastes; IL shapes and coiors that
civilization after its own peculiar design.
1t Is not merely the life blood of the
field but the source of institutions. These
wider and more subtle influences are din
cult to define In abstract terms, but we
may trace chem clearly to tho history
OF various communities which have
grown up In conformity with these con-
ditiona.
The first great law which irrigation
lays down Is this: '-rhere shall be no mo-
nopoly Of land" The edict II enforccs by
the remorseless operation of It's own
economy. Canals must be built before
water can be conducted upon the land.
This entails expense either of money or
of labor. What is expensive cannot be
had for naught. Where water 10 the
foundation of prosperity 1t becomes pre-
cious thing to bo neither cheaply acquir-
ed nor wantonly wasted. Like a city's
provisions In siege, It 10 retained to bc
carefully husbanded, to be fairly distrib-
uted according to mems needs, to be
wisely expended by those who receive 1t.
Fer these reasons men cannot acquire
as much irrigated land. even from the
public domain, as they could acquire
where irrigation is unnecessary. 1t Is
not only more dihlcult to acquire In large
bodies but yet more dihlcuh to retain.
large farm under irrigation 10 q mis-
fortune; a great farm. n calamity. Only
the small farm phys, but this small farm
blesses Its proprietor with Industrial an
dependence and crowns him with social
equality. Industrial independence II, in
Its simplest term, the guarantee Of sub
sistence from ones own labors. II Ii the
ability to earn living under conditions
which admit of the smallest possible ele-
ment Of doubt with the least possible de-
pendence upon others. Irrigation fully
satisfies this definition.
The irngating canal IL an insurance
policy against loss Of crops BY drought,
while aridity Is substantial guarantee
against injury by flood. or all the ad-
vantages of irrigation this Is the most
obvious. Scarcely less so, however, Is Its
compelling power In the matter OF pro-
ductioa. Probably there Is no spot of
land In the United States where the aver
age crop raised by dependence upon rain
fall might not be doubled by Intelligent
irrigation. The rich soils OF the arid re-
zion produce from four to ten times as
largely with irrigation, az the soil Of the
humid region without 1t. As the meas
urc of value IL not area, but productive
capacity. twenty acres In the far West is
equal to 100 acrcs elsewhere. Such Is
the actual factY.

terest of Democratic Candidates for
Governor in New Jersey, Indiana
and West Virginia


for governor, is remarkably strong,
owing to the stand he has taken on
the question of taxation. In Indiana
it is not true that the state ticket is
the stronger. AS to West Virginia,
no ticket is stronger than the ticket of
Henry G. Davis. No man in the state
will run ahead of him. OF course
Wisconsin is azease by itself"
Though Mr.. Taggart would not give
out any figures, it can be stated that
these are thex states claimed by the
Democratic managers:
The solid South. including West
Virginia and Maryland, New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Indiana, Colorado. Nevada and
Montana.
Wisconsin is not claimed by the
Democrats. but the situation there is
giving them as great deal of hope.
During the next four weeks the ma
tional campaign wifi be run under full

WASHINGTON d. c., Oct. 9.-Sev-
eral applications to organize national
banks in the Northwestern states have
come to the comptroller of the cur
rency within the last four or five weeks.
Nearly all of the proposed banks will
begin business on small capitaliza-
tion for they are to be located in COM
paratively small cities and towns, and
indicate that the rural communities are
growing.
In the month of September one new
national bank began business in Min
nesota, with a capital of $4,000, the
minimum allowed by law. This bank
was organized under the name of the
First National Bank of Rraham. Har-
ry Dranger is president, G. J. Johnson
is vice president and Ne. Anderson
cashier of the institution During the
same month applications were receiv-
ed to organize two other banks in the
state one of these to be known as the
National Citizens Bank of Candy, and
the other the First National Bank of
International Falls. The Candy bank
IS organized by George Fitzsimmons, of
Candy; P. C. Scott, S. j. Forbes, C. E.
Wise, Edgar Weaver and others. The
organizers of the proposed bank at In
ternational Falls are e. w. Backus w.
F. Brooks and M. E. Trumer. The
CANDY bank is to have a capital of
$25, 900, and the international Falls
bank a capital of $4,000.
South Dakota Banks
Three applications to organize ma
tional banks in South Dakota were re-
eeived in September. At Bridgewater
J. H. Anderson, T. f. Clark, F. A Nc
Cormack, Math Mayer. and Alex. H.
Mayer propose to organize the Farmers
National bank, with capital of $25,-

ceived for permission to organize the
First National Bank of Vienna, with
capital of s25,O0O The applicants
are J.~Benjamin Graslie, Lars L. Brek-
Ike, Louis Brekke, 1. G. Eggen and H.

the organization of the Western Ma
tional Bank of Mitchell, the organizers
being w. A. Heimberger, J. p. Myers,
i. d. Milne, o. E. Cassem, j. Ditermann

curing Americans to Serve

Recruiting of officers for the new
Chinese Imperial Reform army has
started afresh and the Minneapolis
headquarters of the movement, al
though the work is kept an intense Sc
cfet, is known to be doing business,
holding out promises to young Amer
leans who have served in either the
Philippine or Cuban wars
1t is about four months since the first
excitement was caused by the promises
of commissions in the army which IS
said to be the desire of Sir Robert Hart
and the dowager empress of China
For time the movement seemed DOR
mant and those who had been offered
commissions thought that it was dead.
But recently notifications have been re-
ceived by those holding appointments
informing them that the transportation
from their homes to San Francisco will
be ready in few weeks, and ordering
them to be prepared to join their COM
mands at few days notice.
The Minneapolis end of the recruit
ing is said to be in charge of a young
man named Bates who is doing busi-
ness as an insurance agent. Bates has
been very quietly informing his men
in the Twin Cities that everything is
in readiness to sail, and that he is act
ing under instructions from the COM
