Jail breaking.
Fisher and two other prisoners nam

state pison last Friday afternoon,
Fisher to serve term of one year

were locked up when they arrived,
consequently it was the next morning
before the new convicts could come
in contact with the others. just as
the meal was closing and all of the
guards were leaving the place except
Guard Milligan in the cage, four men
sentenced at Winnemucca severa
months ago on the charge of jail
breaking and who allege that they arc

forced directly beneath the cage where
Guard Milligan was and he could not
see what occurred. However, they
knocked their victim down on the floor
and beat him with a quirt and one

32 pages, and was edited entirely by
the Catholic ladies of Reno. In addi-

it was replete with special and inter

RAILROAD AND PUBLIC
EMPLOYEES.


at the present session of Congress of
the employers liability law; the pas
sage and enforcement of the safety
appliance statutes, as well as the ad-
ditional protection secured for enpin-
GERS and firemen, the reduction in the
hours of labor for trainmen and rail
road telegraphers: the successful exer
else of powers of mediation and arbi
tration between interstate railroads
and their employees, and law making
beginning in the policy of compen-
sation for injured employees of the
government are among the most com
mendable accomplishments of the pres
ent administration. But there is fur
ther work vet in this direction to
be done, and the Republican party
pledges its continued devotion to ev
cry cause that makes for safety and
the betterment of conditions of those
whose labor contribute so much to the
progress and welfare of the country at
large.
WAGE FARMERS GENERALLY.
The same wise policy that has in
duced the Republican party to main
tain protection on American labor. to
establish an eight-hour day on all pub
lie works; to increase the list of EN-
ployes who shall have preferred claims
for wages under the bankruptcy laws;
to adopt a child labor statute for the
District of Columbia. to direct an in
vestigation into the conditions of work
ing women and children. and later,
of employees of telephone and telegraph
companies engaged in interstate bust
ness; to appropriate $150,0O0 at the
recent session of Congress in order to
secure. thorough investigation into
the causes of catastrophies and loss
of life in mines and to amend and to
strengthen the law prohibiting the i'm
portation of contract labor will be pur
sued in every legitimate direction
within Federal authority to tighten
the burdens and increase the opportuni-
ties for happiness and advancement
Of all who toll. The Republican party
recognizes the needs of wage-earners
generally, for their well-being means
the well being of all. But more i'm
portant than all other considerations
is that of good citizenship, and we
especially stand for the needs of every
American of whatever occupation, in
his capacity as self-respecting citi-
zen.
COURT PROCEDURE.
The Republican party will UNFOLD at
all times the authority and integrity
of the courts. state and Federal, and
will ever insist that their powers Ia
enforce their process and to protect the
ife, liberty and property shall be pre-
served inviolate. We believe, however
that the rule of procedure in the FED
nral courts with respect to the 'ssr
nee of writs of Injunction, should
lorc accurately defined by stataF,
nd that no injunction or tcr
orary restraining order should be
ed without netice, except whore
parable injury would result from IL
T., in which case . speedy hearg
lereafter should be granted.

At the rate scientists are discovering
the germ causes of various diseases in
pretty much every kind Of food of hui
man consumption it is likely to become
"a serious question how a man may eat
at all and maintain healthy body. The
vegetarians have done their best to de
pict the terrors Of a meat diet, and now
the vegetarians are confronted by a
Buffalo physician who has it all worked
out that vegetables cause cancer. Can
Ger, off and on, has been laid to to-
matoes, oysters and lager beer. Now
this physician, in a paper read to the
Buffalo Academy of Medicine, lays it to
cabbage, celery, onions, lettuce and the
like. His contention is that the COM
mon garden worm Is the source of the
parasite which produces cancer. The
worm crawls over the vegetable, infect
ing the plant. Even boiling, 1t is de-
clared, will not kill the parasite. Beset
on every hand by some terror, 1t seems
to be problem in this poor, old, germ
infected world whether to starve to
death or take one Of the parasite or
bacilli routes. There certainly is rea-
son in nature, if we must accept all the
theories and discoveries" for the new
school of psychological dietarians which
holds that the cravings of appetite and
the inner man may be satisfied in the
main without any tangible, physical
form Of food. Once the psychological

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1908-12-18

Salt Lake Valley need be told what the
rest Of Utah will some time look like.
When the Mormons went to Utah the
country around Salt Lake was as desc
late as the mind could picture. Now
the River Jordan winds through as
beautiful a country as lies outdoors.
Water did it all-water from the river
and water from the mountains that
was sluiced over the land. And in that
state the United States government
owns more than 100000 of other
thirsty acres.
The national government also has
large holdings in twentyfour other
states and territories. Uncle Sam owns
enough land in New Mexico, for in
stance, to make two states almost as
large as New York and Indiana !;
enough in Montana to make another
commonwealth far exceeding in area
the great State of Illinois, and enough
in Nevada to make twelve states as
large as New Jersey. He could carve
out five states as large as Massachu-
sets from what he owns in Idaho, and
seven Vermonts from his unused lands
in Arizona. And that is saying nothing
about his 100000 acres in North Da-
kota, his 100000 acres in Oregon, his
100000 acres in Washington, and his
100000 acres in California and his
100000 acres in Colorado.
Some OF this land has nothing but
gold and silver in it. The rest of it is
heavily freighted with the latest posi-
bilities of potatoes, alfalfa, wheat, oats,
corn and fruit. All that this latter
class Of soil needs to make it produc-
tive is water. In the old days this
seemed to be an insurmountable diff
Guilty. Arid land boomers talked to
their prospective customers in vain.

Needles" doubtless remembers his
amazement that the state should be
called the ''land of sunshine, fruit and
dowers.' The sunshine is there, all
right, but the fruit and flowers can be
found only in the dining car. Outside
there is only sand, sand, sand-mil-
lions OF acres of it, as far as the eye
can reach-and cactus bushes. It's the
lower end of the Mojave Desert. Fur
ther to the north is Death Valley, and
as one looks out the car window he oc.
casiOnally sees a mirage that may be
anything from a green-felded farm
house to a ship sailing in the Glands

Governments Great Projects.
However, all this is to be changed
At Yuma the government has made a
start toward supplying water to the
desert, and while the task may not be
completed for years, part of the arid
land will be reclaimed within the next
two years The undertaking now un-
der way consists of damming the Colo
RADIO River at Yuma and diverting it's
waters into two channels by means of
which the adjacent country on both
sides of the stream will be watered
About $4,000 acres of land will be
made productive by this work alone
By similar means 1900 acres will be
reclaimed in northern California.
The government has also done some.
thing and is doing more to bring back
to life some of Nevada's 81 100000 dead
acres. At Truckee the melting noun
tain snow is diverted to the parched
tracts far below in the valley. The
work has already progressed so far
that water has been turned on to So

This land needs only water and

paradise" said one of these gentry, ac-
cording to an old joke.
That's all the internal regions
need" retorted the traveller from the
East, who had Kentucky relatives.
Busy with Irrigation.
But things have changed since then.
The government has become very busy
in the irrigation business. 1t is pour
ing out money like water for the pur-
pose Of getting water. At this very
moment the government has under way
twenty-eight tremendous irrigation
projects, as the result of which water
will be turned on to more than half q
million acres of land this year. At
Roosevelt, Ariz., for instance, public
funds are being expended to throw
across Salt River a dam 2S4 feet high
that will hold back enough water to
put a slice two feet thick over the
whole state of Rhode Island The dam
will not be finished until 1910, but
when it is completed it will convert
into gardens 10000 acres around Phoe-
nix that are now good only for the buzz
yards to fly over. The agricultural de-
partment has analysed the soil and
found that it is remarkably fertile !;
the climate cannot be excelled, and as
soon as the water comes, no region
will be more productive.
Then there is California. Anyone
