CASH RENT FOR SUBMERGED FARMS.

Sales of "160 acres of blue sky or OF
waters of a Minnesota or Dakota lake
are not entirely unknown in the west.
Renting water by the acre at cash
rental for farming purposes, however. is
something new to the westerner whose
products are corn, hogs and cattle.
However, Il bill before the Maryland
legislature provides for the plating of
portions of Chesapeake Bay and the
leasing Of the acreage plated to oyster
of this proposed law is the diversion of
the revenues received in rentals for the
oyster farms to the building and main
tenance of good roads in the state of
Maryland.
In renting lots preference for Ger
tain time is to be given to riparian
owners in proportion to the extent of
the waterfront they own, within the
limitation of thirty and 100 acres. and
to OyStermen. The rlYnt 10 lease lolS,
after the local preferences are satisfied,
is given to all citizens of the state.
Corporations are excluded from rent
ing, and any attempt to assign lease
to one works forfeiture. The max
imum areas which one renter can ac-
uuire or take by assignment is thirty
acres in county waters and 100 acres
in the open bay The rentals are vi
an acre for the first two years, W an
acre for the third year, So for the
fourth, 81 for the fifth year and 80
year for the remainder of the twenty
year term. The minimum area in
county waters which can be leased is
one acre and five acres elsewhere. NO
security for the rent is required, but
the rest must be paid annually in adj
vance. and provision is made for
abandoning a lease. The unauthorized
taking of oysters from leased grounds
is made felony, and the law is to be
administered by board of shellfish. not

l don't want to close these letters
withot saying a word about water.
There may be some among those who
have followed me- who Will go. Strange
as 1t may appear, water in the desert
is plentiful, at a depth of twenty to
thirty feet. 1t can be secured by drive
wells which are cheap. A man en-
gagged In making wells at Fallon told
me that he had to put down well for
u homesteader the day left, and that
| it would take him not over six to eight
hours. Mr.. Taylor told me that at some
places water was found at a depth of
eight feet He called my attention to
a wayside house where my driver
stopped to water his horses. Here the
rancher had put up large trough,
and at the end Of the trough was
forty foot well, out of which water was
drawn by means of two oaken buckets
hung on pulley. AS one went down
the other came up. At this spot he said
water was found at depth of eight
feet, and yet that trail was strewn with
the dust OF thousands of men and oxen
that had died of thirst and yet water
could have been reached with an iron
rod. What n tragedy.
But no man should use thirty-foot
well. The ground is so porous that all
the impurities are absorbed. The canal
water will of course be unfit for drink
ing. They have had typhoid and diph-
iberia at Falon, due unquestionaby to
shallow wells. It, the typhoid, was
seeking work on the canals, and they
contaminated the wells. Wells can be
driven so easily and cheaply that no
man ought to stop short of $50 feet.
They have a public we'll of this kind
at Fallon now. and the health of the
people is excellent

THE DUTY OF THE DECENT.

It is an unfortunate fact that when a
contest comes between the pocketbookS
of those who assume to run the town
and respect for the laws and decent OBJ
servance of the obligations Of individ-
uals toward society in general, the
pocketbook too often wins out. The
difference between profession and
practice is so wide when practice be-
comes expensive st. Cloud. Mimi, is
furnishing the latest illustration of this
truth.
That town has long had a Sunday
closing ordinance against saloons and
Of late a mayor who has attempted to
enforce it. He succeeded in shutting
the drunk factories tight on the one day

citizens" to quote a Minnesota paper
interested themselves. The mayor re-
fused to recede from his position. The
"prominent citizens" grew indignant
over the spectacle of an ordinary mayor
and a common city ordinance standing
in the path of progress, hilarity and
high rents for saloon buildings. The
seventh day began to look like Sunday
in ST. Cloud and everyone knows there
is little pecuniary profit to be picked up
on real Sunday. They cajoled, coax
ed and threatened The outcome of 1t
all is that the mayor will go to Mexico
the city administration in charge of
others more agreeable to the prominent
citizens. The saloons will open again
on Sunday and all go merry as a mar
riage bell. The prominent citizens"
will get their graft and the wives and
children of the workingmen who spend
settle down to short commons and
calico.
What scoundrelly piece of graft it
all is! Who are the prominent citi-
zens? Probably a half dozen whiskey
sellers a few property owners and some
dozen men with aspirations for office
who fear the saloon vote Perhaps
few business men imbued with the
fallacy that saloons and gambling
houses and brothels make business
lively" and put money into circulation,
belong with the others. And these,
backed by the disreputable the drunk
ards and the semi paupers whose wage
flows saloonward scare a mayor who
wants to be decent official, out of
town. and take over the government Of
st. Cloud in defiance of state and mu-
nicipal law.
If there is one powerful influence that
stands for disorder and infracton Of
necessary law, it is the saloon influence.
It's power comes from its connection
and its following alone is scarcely a
political force. For the "prominent cit
tzen' who prostitutes himself to pledge

Thru him it drives mayors to Mexico
