Mr.. Paul Thieman. whoever he may
be. says something in q recent issue OF
Denver paper which is pat and to the
point. We herewith produce the frat
few paragraphs OF his article:
When one beholds the complacent
failure TO comprehend the nature and
condition of Far Western irrigation. II
is maddening. have seen one man,
who is thoroughly posted, almost break
into wild tears OF rage over the ever
recurring evidences that the people at
large. the people right here, the ma
tional government, the State govern
ments, do not appreciate national irrl-
cation. and that the public informa-
ton aud the individual knowledge OF
the subject at this time are strangely
dense The public is fed constantly
with lovely articles about the grand
national irrigation works under way,
while the fact Is that all the great
values mentioned concerning reclama'
ton Of the arid region are the result OF
private initiative aud enterprise aud
capital.
Few people understand that the ma
tlonRl irrigation fund is nothing but a
bulk OF capital which may be advanced
to build reservoirs and bitches. upon a
guarantee that the owners OF the lands
to be irrigated win repay the cost to
the fund The national fund IL not 10
be depleted. but must be replenished
| by the payment back Of the cost Of the
work. as assessed BY the government
engineers. and II signatures 70 such
pledges can't be secured. the works
proposed will not BE- built
Knowing that all government work
costs vastly more than II done by pri-
yate capital and the United States
failing to guarantee the limit OF the
cost. lots OF landowners won't sign,
and there you are. Meantime the gov,
eminent officials knock private eater

noting irrigation district bonds. in Cot

A pluckier fellow than MatSmuIln

He was graduated In 1873. Part OF the
time his friend, SartarO ise, was In

At the academy Mats" as he was
