ARGUMENT
MOSTLAUGHABLE

About the neatest bit of soph-
ism, To brace up IA weak cause,
that we have seen in a long time,
appeared in the morning sheet
of this city this morning. 1t was
an attempt to make IL appear
that the abolition of the saloons
has been the cause for slight
decrease in the number of di-
yorccs that have been granted in
this city i'm the last eight months.
There is one little fact To which
we would like to call the atten-
ton of the sophist of the morn
ing sheet that will rather upset
his theory that the absence of
saloons Il the cause of the de-
creased number of divorces.
Within the last few days the Colo
rado Springs papers gave out the in
formation, and commented thereon,
that within the past eleven months
there had been granted one divorce
to every four marriages in that city.
And this in a city that has never had
saloons. Now, let the editor of the
morning sheet apply his sophistical
process of reasoning to this.
Another laughable argument made
by the editor is that the place of
marriage in some way has something
to do with divorce, for he says: An
other fact should be taken into con-
sideration which is that in many of
the cases which come up in the court
for trial the principals were married
outside of the state" This is offer
ed evidently to prove that had the
parties been married in Grand juno
tion since the saloons were abolished
all would have been serene. and there
would have been no cause for trouble
and divorce action.
Incidentally he mentions that few
er divorces are granted in New York
than any other state. New York
has never abolished the saloon, which
would seem to be an argument
against himself. but we'll be square
and state for his information that
there is but one cause for granting
divorce in New York and most of
those wanting divorce must go else
where to obtainn them. hence the low
of divorces in that state.
Such wisdom should make old
Solomon turn and writhe in his
and curse the day he
ever writ" II is extremely amusing
to see where ignorance and unbridled
enthusiasm to make showing for a
weak cause will lead some people.

He halls from Agnas Calientes. N.
NJ. but has been engaged for some
time herding sheep at Green River.
with the expectation of finding work
in Grand Junction he started out to
make the trip with but one dollar in
his pocket After walking three or
four days in the snow he boarded
the train and when discovered by the
conductor both of his feet were
frozen and he was in great agony
from the pain.
He was brought to st. Mary's hos
pital In this city and an effort was
made to find out if he had been sent
here by the commissioners of Grand
county, Utah, but he stated that he
came of his own accord, consequently
the officials of that place cannot be
held for his expenses here.
The man has a brother living in
Agnas Calientes, n. NJ, but being in
stringent circumstances is unable to
aid in paying for his nursing here.

 My last letter left us at Alert, where the steamer took on thousand cases of salmon. while the passengers took Tn the sights peculiar to a Siwash village to be amused and interested. Harry Seller being well posted as to their habits and customs delivered several short lectures to the tourists exciting thier enthusi asm as well as sympathies. After each lecture in order to calm our feelings, we would adjourn to the steamer to obtain the necessary stimu!ant to sustain these trying ordeals. Our friend William s uzer-Alaska good friend-- was conspicuous observer of everyiGg, tak- ing in valuable information which ne to those congressman so ignorant regarding the greatest of Uncle Sam S districts. Sulzer sees everything worth seeing and stores the informa tion away in the mental storehouse for future use. He takes few notes and does not need them as he does not forget, and his genial wife would not let him if he wanted to. They are both great observers and fine conver- sationalists, and this grand tour they are making will result in many good things for our Alaskans.

Improving Farms by Drainage.
(Chas. W. Holman In Farm and Ranch.l
Farming to-day is almost an ex-
act science. We know that a given
soil, with given climatic conditions
and processes of culture, will grow
certain plants in certain ratio of
production. We know just what
number of pounds of grain per day
a given seed will produce in fat
tening stock. We know what it
costs to raise bushel of corn in
different localities-what 1t costs
to produce any crop by any method.
We know that methods which are
successful in one part of the coun-
try may be an ignomlous failure
in another. In West Texas and
throughout the arid and semi-arid
districts, agriculture has succeeded
in producing fine crops with rain
fall that few years ago was
thought barely sufficient to raise
grass. Agriculture has put water
on desert lands and made out OF
them gardens worth $1,000 per acre
Agriculture is to-day reclaimine
many thousands of acres, which
from overflow or poor drainage
have become non-productive.
IMPORTANCE OF DRAINAGE.
The importance of drainage rare
| ~ receives recognition until popu.
lation has become 30 dense anC
land values SO high that every
available bit of land is put in use
Then the question of how to re
claim swamp lands. drain of
slougbs, ponds and soaked plots o.
prairie land or bottoms is tackled
and drainage at once becomes The
subject of paramount interest.
In the more populous regions o
the southwest lands have alread,
climbed up to the point, aud there
lis q noticeable increase in thu
number who are interested in this
important problem of farming. 1

other at almost every agriculture
gathering, and when the winter
and springs are particularly We

VOL. XXXII.
Yield of 40 Bushels Per Acre
Five Acres of Irish Potatoes Produce $50 Bushels
Which Bring the Handsome Cash Return
Figure of $534.5O.

Mr.. j. w. Duncan dropped into
the Chronicle Office on Wednesday
to inform us that he had just fin
ished loading a car with 2S,352
pounds (472 bushels) of new Irish
potatoes.
This lot of potatoes was raised
on five acres by Mr.. r. nj. G.
Duncan on the Adolph Layssard
place, about three miles south of
Colfax, and the five acres will
bring him something over $500
net cash. He sold last week TO our
local merchants thirty bushels of
p,ia oes from this same five acres
at $1.25 per bushel.
In addition to the 472 bushels of
merchantable potatoes shipped,
Mr.. Duncan has on hand some
thing like 80 or 60 bushels of
"culls," or small potatoes, from
which he will get some return. So,
all told, the five acres have yielded
full crop of more than $50 BUSH
els, and, counting 472 bushels at
S472, the 80 bushels sold to local
merchants at $3.50, and 80 BUSH
els of cuils at $25, Mr.. Duncan has
a return of $534.50 from his pota-
to crop, And the best of it Is, he
has his money in hand, and his
ground is ready to be planted In
pea nuts and corn, which he will
plant on this same land.
