STICKING no THE FARM.

If more men would show the persist
ence in sticking to the farm that F.
D. Coburn, Kansas secretary of agri-
culture, does, they and the country
would be better off. When appointed to
the United States Senate to fill the va
cancy caused by the enforced retire
ment of Burton, Secretary Coburn de-
clined' the honor, and he has recently
nipped in the bud a boom which prom
ised to land him in the governors
chair, preferrlng to continue his pres
ent work Of making Kansas a more
prosperous State.
Those who know how Secretary Co
burn has worked for sensible, scientific
and profitable agriculture in Kansas
know that he is in love with his work,
and that he can probably be more use
full to Kansas as Secretary Of tAgricul-
ture than he would be as governor or
United States senator. Perhaps the
place of Secretary of Agriculture for
the nation would tempt him, and that
may yet be offered him. He is well TT
ted for it,

WHrsKEr AND BEER PER CAPITA

The pride of a United States citizen
in his big per capita of wealth is con-
tinuous and swelling. He is properly
proud of the bigness of that, and ne
may also be properly proud of the
smallness of his per capita of whiskey.
Germany may also be proud that lager
beer has become the national drink in
this country. 1t has reduced by about
one-half the annual consumption of
wtiykey, which formerly was the ia
vcrite American tipple. Back in 1858,
when ire government made Its first Of
fetal record Of the production of beer,
the total produced was only 2,OO6,625
barrels. During the fiscal year ended

NOT A YELLOW FEVER soARE.

Yellow fever has broken out in Cuba,
as 1t probably will again after it has
been squelched this time. But the an
nouncement doesn't cause any such
scare as 1t used to. Formerly when
yellow fever broke out in Cuba. it could
pretty certainly be looked for next at
New Orleans, or in Florida, and from
there 1t had q, bad habit of spreading

expectation is that 1t will be confined
to Cuba, and that there will not be
much Of it there. If 1t should happen
that the scientific way of dealing with
yellow fever Wouldn't work this time
there would be great surprise and
some Encouragement. But until 1t Is
plain that 1t doesn't there is such good
reason for believing that it will that

Secretary Garfield Visits the Milk River
Valley and Practically Promises the
Committee Of the United Mill River

The committee Of the United Milk

was appointed at Malta meeting and
consisting OF Hon. Thos. M. Everett,
of Harlem, w. NJ Woodbridge of Hins-
dale and Louis Newman Of this city,

by Mayor Newman, chairman Of the

'tThe secretary received the petition
with the chief Of the reclamation

on the conclusion Of its reading, he

thoroughly with the secretary. The

even make a payme ent Or two in ad-
vance, pointing out the great loss ev-
cry year for the want of water to
insure feed for the stock in the val
ley, estimates were shown that the
stock losses for tho want of hay last
winter amounted to over one million
dollars in the Milk river valley alone,
to say nothing of the great crop that
could be raised every year if they
could be assured by having water to
irrigate with when necessary.
The question the en- came up of the
practicability of flood water irrigation
and it was pointed out that while the
engineers of the reclamation service
Were against flood water irrigation be-
cause of its impracticability that
those that depended on flood water
irrigation in the valley never had a
failure of crops"
Mr.. Newell stated that the reason
the reclamation service was against
flood water irrigation in the past was
because flood waters could not be
depended on. The Milk river pro-
ject was the frs proposed by the
government. Tt was an entirely new
Undertaking on the part Of this gov
ernment. The people Of this country
and other countries were watching re-
suits. IT flood water irrigation had
been started with the first project
and had proven d failure, it would
not only be a means of ridiculing the
government, but it would have been
the means Of killing all the irrigation
projects in the country.
But since these projects which have
proved successful in this country have
been completed, Mr. Newell felt that
the governHnt could afford to take
|as slight chance on flood water irri-
cation in the lower Milk river, provid
ing the people tn emselves were will
| ing to take chance.
His idea was to use the flood wat
ers until the upper end of the pro-
ject was completed; then the st. Mary
and Milk River 10 be used with a
system Of reservoirs as planned out
by the reclamation service.
Secretary Garfield assured the COM
mittee after the strong presentation
made to him, and the anxiety on the
part of the pople in the lower valley
to help themselves by their readiness

WORK IN The LOWER VALLEY IS TO Be STARTED SOON

The secretary listened very atteat-
lively to every word uttered By cacn
after which ne adj
dressed the association.
Mr.. Garfield spoke fo- fully DO min
utes and touched upon every subject
brought to his attention. He said
that he did not come to Harlem With
the intention of making any promises,
but that he was here for the purpose
of acquainting himself with the cor
ditions actually prevailing. In part
he said:
Il find the conditions somewhat
different here from those Of any other
arid district in the United States. A
new idea appears to be prevailing
here, and one that cnly lately even
our most practical engineers have been
able to see, and that is flood irri-
cation.
From what I understand from your
able committee, you are doing wonder
full work, and / believe that, with the
diversion dams and lateral construct
icn in this valley, YOU will be able
to triple your output Of hay and
diversified grains.
1T is my intention, Immediately.
upon my arrival at Washington, to
take up the proposition of at once
building diversion dams in this val
| ley, providing it is feasible.
Il have no intention to stop work
whatever upon the st. Marys project.
Even if we should commence work in
this valley, we must keep the work
progressing on the former project, in
order that we can maintain our right
to the waters Of St. Marys lake."
Mr.. Garfield also stated that the
settlement of the controversy over
the international waters, which have
been in dispute ever since the Milk
River project was started, is now III
the hands of the diplomatic corps and
that very satisfactory progress is be-
ing made and that he hoped a salts

er and greatly encouraged the people
by stating that conditions are diff
ferent from what they were in the

/ goes to favor a speedy completion of
