THE SOAK IN THE SOIL.

The cause of seepcd or ovcrsaturat-
cd land is usually the waste from ir-
rigation and leakage from canals and
latcrals. The skiIlful irrigator may
insist that II no more water is applied
than is needed for growing and ma-
turing crops. and II the canals arc
SO constructed that no substantial
amount of water escapes into the
for farming purposes. In many in
stances, however, irrigators have
been unduly prodigal In the use of
water, particularly when the land is
first subdued and watercd. The art
of economical irrigation Is usually
learned only when scarcity OF water
compels its less lavish use.
In any event, under present meth
DDS some waste of water will occur
under the best of management, max
ing drainage in many places essen
tial to profitable agriculture. Wa
ter which produces permanent satur-
alton rises from the bottom of the
soaked soil toward the surface. Waste
from irrigation first passes downward
until hard stratum OF earth is
reached. This may be only n few
feet, in which case the additions
which accrue from the irrigation of
n few years will bring the pcrma-
| IN w nr
three feet of the surface at which
time injury to farm crops will en-
sue
1t is not the downward movement
of water alone which occasions
boggy or wet areas, but the lateral
movement down n slope until flat
tract or surface depression checks the
| flow and causes an accumulation OF
water. which is made known by its
appearance, but not until the lower
| parts of the soil have been filled
Sucn deprcssions or level areas re-
ceive the accumulated waste water
proceeding from adjoining lands
which occupy a higher level.
| It will be seen that the saturated
condition of the land which shows
| injury is not due to the water ap-
piled directly to irrigate it, but to
the surplus which percolatcs from
the higher lands sometimes through
considerable distances, until 1t reach
cs the lower flat or depression. and
Colorado now has a law providing
Tor the organization of drainage dis
tricts, in which the expense of put
ting in the drains is borne by the
entire acreage. Drainage has been
carried on In the west to such ex-
tent that certain methods are now
practiced with reasonable assurance
of success. The development along
this line which has taken place dur
ing the last five years is most en-.
couraging to holders of secred land.

WHERE WORLDS GREATEST
BATTLE WAS FOUGHT

| From Landmarks OF the World i'll
the Strand.
Great among the landmarks of the
world stands the Lion of Waterloo
| on its mound two hundred feet high.
Ten miles from the city of Brussels
it marks the plain where history S
greatest battle was fought. where
over fifty thousand men were killed,
wounded, and missing. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that it was fought
on June is, 1915, and that it culmin-
atcd the campaign following Napol-
cons escape from Elba and stopped
his mighty effort to conquer all Eu-
rope.
The Duchess of Richmond gave n
ball in Brussels on June Is; at mid
night Wellington, having already
heard that the outposts had been en-
gagged. went to the ball. Here he
found the Prince of Orange, the man
who seemed fatcd to cause useless
loss of life through his blundcrs
Even now he ought to have been at
Binche, where the duke promptly
sent him, after inquirins for news.
Far from being surprised at the
evenings attack, as some writers as
sert, the duke had dispatched his or
ders before he went to the ball, for
at 2 a. m. strange sounds broke the
nights silence, and great masses of
troops were on the move, bugles were
blowing everywhere, and people
ooened their windows to see the var
ious regiments tramp past. A High
land band were playing their bag
pipes to the swing of the BLACK
Watch as they went out to battle
through the Namur Gate. Curious1y
enough, many of the officers were
still wearing their silk stockings and
dancing pumps. for the heat was so
intense that men went mad and died
on the march: but for the rest, they
pushed on and were soon under fire.
The battle itself is eclipscd by the
thou sht of the awful aftermath; the
rlain so filled with the dying and the
dead that for three days parties
brought in the wounded. who in
many cases were saved by having
had their bleeding stanched by thI

were thrown down a well. For thir-

This year the bad weather caused

trains converging on Ecaussines,
from Brussels. Mons Charleroi. Ma

road from the railway station to the
village was spanned with inscriptions
designed for the encouragement of
nervous bachelors, such as ut Is not

number OF bashful youths had col

the town hall, where they inscribed
their names and addresses, and to
each was given an invitation card
and cup inscribed: Marry, If you
want to be happy" Thence they
| moved on to the house of the presi-
dent, charming girl of 20, chosen
by the others. She was dressed in
white, with blue ribbon in her yell

On reaching the central square the
company took their places at a num-

The little president then read a
speech to the effect that she agreed
with TalIyrand, that many words did
not advance business any more than a

, There was no false, mincing pride
about this peasant girl, who frankly
declared that she and the rest want

Boulder County News.

Sp"hes
Organized government and the
lawful branches of union labor must
stop the anarchistic practice OF min
ers in various districts or all govern
ment and all organized labor will be
brought into disrcDutc.
Last Saturday in Butte, Montana,
at the thirty-fourth anniversary OF
the establishment of the union there,
two thousand miners refused to lon
ger recognize the union and allied
themselves with the Industrial
Workers of the World. the scccdcrs
from organized labor.
AS usual violence was the keynote
of the revolt, but 1t was not the state
forces this time that were attacked
| but the very organization that has
caused Colorado to bow her head in
shame.
The union has levied assessments
of eight and ten dollars n month on
each miner to support the copper
strike in Michigan, now settled. The
assessments continued after the call
ing off of the Michigan strike, and
1t is safe to say that the Butte miners
have been paying their hard-earncd
money to keep up the strike in Colo
RADIO.
The Industrial Workers of the
World is an out-and-out violence or
ganization. Force Is their gospel
and the Butte miners have simply
jumped from the frying pan into the
fire.
How long the American people
will stand for the scenes of disorder
that took alacc Saturday in Butte
and how long they will permit the
United Mine Workers and the Indus
trial Workers OF the World to con-
tinue their practice of anarchy, only
time can tell.
But one thing is certain. Some
thing must be done to forever pre-
vent outlawry and violence in all its
worst forms. These organizations
must either learn to respect law and
government or they should be dis
solved, Just as monopolics and graft
ing corporations have been forced to
yield to the federal government.
When any organization sets itself
above government and law, and be-
licves itself to be u government unto
itself. then it is time for the people
to step in through their chosen pub
lie officers and declare it harmful
and unsafe for the best interests OF
society Either make these organiza-
tions see that justice can be obtnincd
by peaceful means or throw thcm
out by the scruff of the neck if they
are unable to learn that the Ameri
can people are truly the friends of la
bor when labor plays square with
them. The many laws now protect
ing the rights of the laboring man
are proof conclusive that the people
are sympathetically responsive to the
rightful demands of labor. and or
ganizations of labor must SEQ tho
light or the people will show IL -
the leaders in manner that will
make them truly sorry for their
abominable lack OF appreciation of
what generous-he hearted, fair-minded
people all over this country have
been trying to do for the masses

HAULING MAIL

New York. July 2.-An amaz-
statement from Chairman Moon of
the postoifice committee of the house
Of representatives is published this
morning. We have no desire for a
personal controversy. but We must
take exception to some Of his state-
ments. t,
Without waiting for the report Of
the joint congressional committee.
which has. for two years. been in
vestigating the subject Of railway
mall pay, Congressman Moon had al
ready introduced a bill which would
still further reduce the pay and there
by extend the injustice to which the
railroads arc now subjected.
The railroads have been claiming.
and they still assert, that they have
proved to the joint congressional
committee that they were already
,underpaid at least 81 5.O0O,OO0 year
for carrying mail. and that no fair
consideration has been given to the
question Of compensating them for
carrying the parcel post. Yet Con-
gresham Moon casually states that
under his bill 1.-The compensation is
not much less. II any, than the pres
ent pay" ...
The congressman questions the
statement that his bill would produce
loss to the railroads of $11. 100000
year in addition to the loss they
have already suffered. This is aues-
tion of fact. impossible of determine
tion except by technical experts. and
nobody can better judge OF that fact
than the joint congressional commit
tee which will soon submit its repor,
for the consideration of congress.
Congressman Moon states that the
introduction of his bill was delayed
as long as possible, and that ihc pol
icy Of delay has been practiced by
fine railroads for 16 years. The fact
is that the railroads have been seek
ing by every proper means during the
past rs years to obtain from congress
fair treatment on this subject. The
railway companies have for the last
IS months been urging the postmas-
ter general to no longer delay giving
attention to adequately comDensatina
them for carrying the increased bur.
den Of the parcel post. They haye
indeed. brought I public e5tsafion
every reason that s{hey could suggest
vhy congress should Indefinitely de-
lay a. r -Action to. giye them Iese than
their sa1yices are worth.
Congressman Moon further aaserts
that "the only material difference
between the joint congressional COM
mittee and the committee of con-
grcssman Moon is that the commits
sion proposes higher rate than the
committee" The fact is that the
commission has not yet reported its
recommendations, and that the rates
of pay proposed by Congressman
Moons bill are absolutely confisca-
tory.
We are in full accord with the con-
clusions of Chairman Moon that the
old method of weighing the mails
once in four years is altogether un-
fair, unscientifc and unbusinesslike
We have urged for many years that
the mails should be weighed every
year for the whole country and the
pay adjusted accordingly. The claim
ia also unfounded that the railroads
divert the mails 30 as to pad them
when the regular weighing is in
progress. The railroads have no con-
troll over the movement Of the mails;

SAD ACCIDENT SUNDAY

A very sad accident happened about
16 miles south Of the city, when
Gustab Reizter, the youngest son Of
Mrs. Louisa Reister, ~accidently shot
himself wha&e at play. He, with q
number Of neighbor boys, had an old
gun which had not been used for
some time. They had been playing
with it, but could not make It work,
when the little fellow said he could
work it. He arranged a door spring
about it in some fashion and had the
muzzle Of the gun pressed against
his stomach, when the spring slipped
off and the. gun discharged into his
intestines. He started for the house
but only went a short distance when
he sank to the ground. He was I'M
mediately brought to the hospital in
the afternoon and was operated on but
to no avail. He was thirteen years
old, having been born in Roumania
in August, 1901. His father died
some years ago, leaving the mother
with five or six children, he was the
youngest. The remains were buried
here Thursday afternoon.
