on their return to Madison from a

Farley leased his paper, the Outlook,
with the intention Of remaining Il
year at least on the coast-perhaps in
definitely. But there were features
OF the life not exactly suited to him
which, together with the fact that
the man to whom he leased the Out
look has bought newspaper of his
own, induced the early return-which
whole lot of newspaper folks in
South Dakota hope will be perman-

Heavy Rains This Week.

According tC Observer Roses gov
during the first three days of May
than for the entire month in 1903 or
l904-and it is still damp over head.
The total precipitation this week is
2.27 inches, of which Isl tell Wednes-
day. Heavy showers fell at intervals
all day long, and at the noon hour the
hardest shower was accompanied by
heavy hail. Yesterday was cloudy and
damp, with a cold west wind and
some sleet. The rain WIS just what
was needed to send the wheat and
grass along, both Of which have been
retarded by cold and dry April. The
rains this week have boosted the aver
age for both months combined above
last year and the year before. Here
is the record for the past three years.

AS will be seen by the foregoing, if
no more rains falls this month there
is more rain for the crops than last
year or the year before. But we are
going to have a lot more.
1t was the dryest April in ten years
The precipitation in the extreme
eastern part Of the state, about Sioux
Falls, was but .6S of an inch, a short
age Of nearly 2 inches from the nor
NAL. The total shortage of moisture
for the past six months is somthing
like seven inches. Ne have some awful

The principal trouble with the pre-
sent system is that the engine is much
too light and the tank not elevated
sufficiently to give pressure. An
other bad feature is that with any
kind of an engine it is impossible to
get enough water from the we'll with
cylinder pump, saying nothing of
the work required to keep the cylind-
der on working order and the ever pre-
sent danger Of its dropping down the
we'll. To put up an elevated tank 75
to 100 feet high as large as the one in
use would involve an expenditure OF
$4,000 or more in itself. An engine OF
sufficient size and other apparatus
perhaps $4,000 additional.

Reclamation of Public Land

The financial feature of the recama- ton work of the national government has been somewhat misunderstood. It has been thought that the eastern farmer was going to be taxed, indirectly if not directly for the benefit of his west ern competiter. We'll, that suppostion is entirely groundless. The money witt, which the redemption of worthless lands is to be effected is loan, and is derived from the sale ofpublic lands in the states and territories. Up to the present time about $25 1000, ,O00 has accumulated and the fund will naturally continue to grow as time passes. Repaymentin ten annual installmenEs by the owners of the land to which d water supply is furnished by the government will leave the moneyavail- able for repeated use in the future, and as far as practicable the expenditure in each political division will be made proportionate to the receipts from the one state oi territory. It is hard to con ceive of a more equitable arrangement. New York Tribune.
