relaying of tile. Trenching, where,
by rather deep and narrow fur
rows are run between the rows
for the purpose of conducting the

able method.
In conversation with Messrs.
Hall and Klingman, irrigation eX
perts of Brownwood, who are in
the Plainview country for the
purpose of installing a number OF
irrigation plants, the writer learn
ed that irrigation in the San Saba
country is a pronounced success
as the facts learned from
them will show;
San Saba county has either very
little or no underground water
supply and draws upon the Colo
RADIO river entirely For forty
years. irrigation has been practle-
ed with more or less success, but
! it is only within the last five
years, that any real effort in this
direction has been made and to-
day more than three thousand
acres are under irrigation. Po-
tatoes and onions are the princi-
pal crops. The minimum annual
production has been four hun
| dred bushels of onions and three
hundred bushels Of potatoes t9

try one forty acre tract is now

erage cost of plant installation Is
5000 per acre, based on the

There are now in Scurry com

which are conducive TO plant life
are less liable to dissemination by
heavy rains and washing into the
great river deItas and has remain
ed very much the same during the
ages.
The water supply TO" irrigation
n our county must be obtained
from springs or wells-the latter
method preferable, as many of
the springs prove unreliable dur
ing drouthy periods.
The amount of land to be wat
cred depends entirely upon the
volume of the water supply-the
crops to be raised should be only
those that are the most prolific
producers and which net the high
est market returns. From this
it will be seen that with limit
ed water supply, cotton, corn and
very few forage plants should
be considered in the same manner
as soem other products. Fruits
should be largely confined to the
varieties that are not easily af-
fected by sudden extremes OF
heat and cold and whipping wind.
These requirements have al
ready been carefully considered
and local irrigation established
with extremely gratifying results
| in many sections Of our state.
Figured upcn the basis OF no
rainfall. the U. S. government
shows that three inches of water
upon one acre under irrigation is
considered thorough wetting and
/ that it requires $1,000 gallons of
water for this purpose-however
this can be distributed as condi-
tions demand. Dry farming is
practiced in conjunction with the
irrigation i'm order TO conserve
every possible amount of mois-
ture.
In the production of such crops
as sweet potatoes and onions, five
acres are considered about the
limit for one man. Water from
a well with a maximum flow OF
100 gallons per minute or even
less viii amply supply this a.
mount of land.
I'm this section there are three
possible methods of irrigating, by
flooding. by sub-irrigation on by
trenching. Flooding, while 1t is
the most practical of all methods
is unsatisfactory in "A region
wherein the careful outstanding
of water is necessary as the ay
erage evaporation is something
like sixty per cent. Sub-irrigatof

In Pacific Mail circles It Is general

is born out by the regularity and

II Is claimed that the postal auth

Mr.. BAKERS Second ARTICLE.

Mr.. Ray Stannard Bakers second
article on conditions In Hawaii APP
pearing in the American Magazine,
confirms the impression gained from
ais first: That the articles Mr.. Baker
is writing are significant of the trend
If thought and the policies that may
be expected from the so-called Pro-
yressive wing of the Republican party.
Mr.. Baker while visiting In the
stands was wined and dned by the
Yery men whom he sets forth as main
aiming and establishing an oligarch-
cal monopoly of land and labor. He
walked and talked more with them
han any others. He was invited into
he inner circle so to speak, not with
he idea of dazzling him but with the
'ommendable purpose Of opening up
o the honest and intelligent invest
gator all the facts. We venture to
lssert that whatever else he may say
# the islands and the men he met,
Ir Baker will not even intimate that
my effort was made to prevent him
rom getting at all he could ask for.
The most that he can claim, and
e will we believe, claim no more, is
hat he doesn't agree with great
many Of those among whom he formed
uch pleasant acquaintances while an
onored guest.
When he got home and began to
1T his impressions and the facts, II
,ould appear that in the final anal
sis, he measured the whole situation
y the yard stick that is used by the
Progressive Republican wing in deal
lg with the affairs of the Nation.
The primary purpose of the series
obviously to attack the protective
ariff. The first article indicated this
nd the second furnishes further con-
rmation. Baker believes that the
reflective tariff has been the source
many OF the troubles ON tne mann

When he got there he said that Nc
Mahon had insulted Mrs. Cederlof. Nc
Mahon replied that he had not. Ceder-

that he had done SO.
The testimony OF Mrs. Cederlof shows
that, instead of answering. Mcmahon
drew his revolver and shot Cederlof
twice. The defense is bringing out the
point shown here, namely, that It Is

HANDLING OUR MAILS.

United States mail needs attention
In this part of the country.
A few days ago the San Francisco
post office sent the Honolulu mails by
Japanese liner instead of the Amer
lean steamer arriving the same day
with the result that delivery at this
.end was less prompt. II Is under
stood that the Government saves
money by patronizing a foreign line
that charges fiat rate, as against
the American lines per pound rate.
This is a bad example in the first
place. The people of these Islands do
their business exclusively with Amer
lean ships
Now we have the local postotlice
delivery arriving late at an outgoing
steamer, and mass of business and
Christmas mail held over for prac-
tically week.
Some say that the steamer should
have waited. Perhaps so. We do not
know the understanding on which the
steamer and postotilce officials oper-
ate. But the postoflice requires that
the senders of mail shall be on time
and example is always better than
precept.
II the mails must be closed earlier,
