It will not do to attempt to throw cold water on the enthusiasm that has grown apace in favor of the irri gation of western soils. The bet ter way is to catch the spirit of the times and try to follow it out to some natural and legitimate con clusion. The eyes of the whole con tinent are at a time like this turned upon the arid west for some remedy against future afflictions of a type similar to those we are now labor ing under. Enough is known of the history of irrigation, and of the various elements requisite to its fullest measure of success, to in spire hope and courage in the breasts of all home loving people. It is the part of wisdom in a people situated as are the people of all Nebraska to desire to know to what extent irrigation can be made a thing practicable among them. It is not simply the people who are owners of the lands most in need of irrigation that are interested in the matter; every man whose business operations fall within the bounds of the state is more or less directly interested in the matter of having the waters of the state appropri ated in a manner that shall secure the greatest benefit to all the peo ple. The irrigation problem is at best a complex thing. But the great and over-shadowing feature of it all is the question of water supply. Give us water without limit and the desert can speedily be made to blossom as the rose. Nobody pre tends that all of the arid portions of Nebraska can be brought under the ditch, and it is for this very reason that the problem assumes the overwhelming importance that it does. There must be brought into the play the best of skill and economy in the distribution of these waters. Large sections of the state now helpless without the friendly aid of waters that pass them by, can and will be made regularly pro ductive of all kinds of farm crops with yields unknown to lands that depended upon the uncertainty, in sufficiency or irregularity of rain fall for the making o such crops. With the building of ditches and the construction of reservoirs in the right places and under certain re strictions there can be no failing of the water supplies. Nebraska is blessed with rivers that carry im mense volumes of water from the mountains in the course of the year and if all this vast volume of water be conserved through the interven tion of the hand of man, and dis tributed and appropriated in like manner through man's devices, it is bound to be in line with the evolu tion of the agriculture of the state as preordained by Him who doeth all things well. Nebraska Farmer. Six Thousand Square Miles or Wealth The vast fertile valleys of the two Indian Reservations in Northeastern Utah, soon to be opened to settlers, comprise about 3,500,000, acres of the finest agricultural and grazing land.

It is reported on good authority that five hundred anarchists ex pelled from other countries, are now on their way to this country. A bill was introduced in the senate Tuesday, to prohibit their landing and prevent the possibility of such occurrences in the future. When the bill went to the house of repre sentatives it was vehemently op posed and finally beaten by repre sentative Warner, the democratic representative from New York. This is the time to exterminate the Russian thistle. A little at tention to this pestiferous weed be fore it goes to seed will save a great deal of work after the thing has overrun the whole farm. If the farmers will only co-operate with one another in a combined effort to eradicate this evil their success will be assured. A continuance of the spread of this pest will be in part at least chargeable to the negligence of the farmers them selves Bee- ATTENTION. All persons holding policies the Royal Insurance Co. are hereby notified to at once bring or send same to the office of Geo. E. Prosser for examination to see if correct and valid.
