Novel Plan to Irrixnte FicId..

Senator w. l.. Clayton probably has
the most unique irrigation system in
Colorado, says Greeley correspondent
of the Denver News. 1t is in the form
of three huge storage tanks, made Of
steel, that have been placed on a piece
of dry land just north of Greeley, Colo.
The tanks have a combined capacity of
10000 gallons. For next seasons crop
Clayton will have pumping plant in,
stalled at each of these tanks, and
when filed they will have plenty Of
water for a good irrigation of the
fields. The tanks were first used by
DIR. 5. r. Oppenheim in attempting to
prove his theory that potato starch
could be separated from the tubers by
the centrifugal method, the same as
beet sugar. The system proved fail
ure. and Senator Clayton and W. d.
Boutwell, of Racine, Wis, bought the
plant and put in the washing system
of starch making. which has been in
successful operation for two years.
The tanks, costing thousands of dol
lars, were thrown out and lay about
as useless scrap iron until Clayton hit
upon the idea of utilizing them in his
unique irrigation system.

PROHIBITING REMARRIAGE.

One of the New York courts has es-
tablished a new rule in divorce pro-
ceedings. 1t requires that a divorced
person shall not marry the correspond
ent named in the case, during the life
time of the former husband or wife.
The decree of divorce is made to carry
this condition, and if the condition is
violated then the decree becomes void.
There cannot be any sound objection
to such a rule. Defendants in divorce
cases often make no appearance, be-
cause they are well satisfied to get
their freedom, in order to marry the
person responsible for the breakup of
the family. The new rule will not
reach a majority Of such cases, for the
causes mentioned in the suit are often
not the real causes, and to save
salacious proceedings in court the COM
plant is brought on grounds of "cruei
and inhuman treatment" or desertion,
which occurs by mutual consent. Often.
too, the offending party brings the
complaint and gets a divorce in order
to marry some one else, whose name
does not appear before the court. In
these cases the court cannot stop re-
marriage without a sweeping order
prohibiting it during the lifetime OF
the former partner, and this is general
ly considered too drastic. But the
plan adopted by the New York court
has its good points, and should not be
condemned merely because it cannot
be worth trial in other states.

WINKING AT THE KNIFE

Failure to heed the warning given
them by the republican voters of the
city and county has brought the lead
ers of that party to an embarrassing
realization that harmony and unity
cannot be preserved entirely by mani
pulations in the county convention.
There are few republican politicians
who do not admit now that mistake
was made in surrendering to the
"Bunc" KEGS crowd after the curb
stone bosses were so decisively beaten
at the primaries. They comprehend
when too late, that the party loyalty
does not go to the yellow dog length.
This knowledge has had one good
effect, however, in bringing the party
managers to that point where they
are willing to sacrifice the objection
able candidates for the sake of future
united support by the great mass Of
Independent republicans. Only by the
defeat of those representatives of the
gangsters can the faith of the rank
and file be restored.
1t is for this reason the party lead
ers are solemnly winking the other
eye at the OBJECTIONS and permitting
the contest to drop into an Individual
fight, after the legislative ticket shall
have been saved.
That the republican candidates for
the legislature will be elected goes
without saying. So, too, will number
of other candidates on the republican
ticket.
But the successful candidates will
not be of those who wear the collars
of the Evening Bunc"-Kees crowd
of political tricksters.

TO PLAY A RETURN,

The Stewart Opera company, famed
all over the east as one of the strong
est musical organizations of the coun-
try. comes to the Keylor Grand on
Monday night to begin Their engage
ment of five nights, presenting on
Monday and Tuesday nights the Harry
B. Smith-victor Herbert light opera
masterpiece "Babette," on Wednesday
night the Alfred Cellier comic opera
Dorothy" and on Thursday and Fri
day nights the Stanislaus STANCE
Ludwig Highlander comedy opera, "The
Two Roses" The complete original
productions of these three operas, the
same as was used during the engage
ment at the Broadway theater. New
York city, will positively be used here.
The costumes and scenic environment
for each are undoubtedly the most
beautiful and elaborate ever brought
to the west by a comic opera company.
John Cort has expended lavish
amount Of money in attaining this re-
suit.
The company has among its notable
members such artistic personages as
Mabel Day, prima donna soprano; Ber-
tina Shalek, contralto; Bessie Fairbairn
coincidence; William G. Stewart, bar
itone; Carl Haydn, tenor; George W..
Leslie, comedian; and Bowman Raj
ston, basso. The same splendid chorus
which in itself has won marked dis
tinction for the Stewart company, is
called upon for some difficult ensem-
bles and groupings.
There are no end of great mus1cai
numbers in "Babette," among which
may be mentioned "My Honor and My
Sword ION the other Side of the
WALL" -'Tll Bride the Stars" ''Tcny,
the Peddler," BE Kind to Poor Pier
rot" There Once was an OWL" my
Lady IT'S For Thee" "'Tis a Way We

Mr. Hearst outlined what he had
tried to do with his papers and added:
Journalism is the modern power,
and II should express and guide the
movement; but I'm not so sure as l
once was that it will. If the political
leaders. those who are elected to office,
would do things, the press might be
decisive. But public officials fail. I've
helped elect men to Office. helped in
good faith and with fair hopes. But
they didn't do much"
He named some examples.
"Why do you want office yourself?
Was that an early ambition?"
mo; my early ambition was to do
my part in newspapers, and 1 still pro-
nose to do newspaper part. But when
saw mayors and governors and presi-
dents fail, 1 felt that I'd like to see
if 1 couldn't do better. I'd like to
go into office, any Office almost, to see
if 1 can't do the things I want to see
DONE"
But after a careful study of the man,
his methods, the men he gets around
him and his newspapers. Mr.. Steffens
decides that "Mr. Hearst does not per-
sonify the new American spirit"
In any event, Mr.. Hearst is a very
difficult man to understand. Even Stef-
ems. who thinks he gets at the bottom
Of about everything, refers to him as
1.-The man of mystery" Perhaps if ne
got office once we might know more
about him-possibly to our sorrow.
