The Sun and Independent combined
do not publish as many columns of

The professor’s public speeches con

voice that Tiie Frontier's charge of
incompetency is absolutely correct.
“They is” and “he are” would sound all
right coming from people iu positions

expressions do not sound at all becom

charge of “chaining up young ideas in
the way they should go.”

to say is the G. A. R., Patent and Daisy

comment, and the manufacturer was
never known to be driven from the

The Omaha Bee, truthful for once,
says: “The township organisation law
for the government of counties has not
proven an unmixed blessing in Ne
braska. To saddle a small legislature
upon the tax payers of a county in
which three commissioners could do the
work as efficiently and as honestly is of
doubtful expediency.” Now will some
of the defenders of this outrageous
system in this county who think the
sun of wisdom rises and sets in the Bee's
editoiial rooms put this in their pipes
and puff at it a while?

Register Mathews has appointee! Miss
Teas Harrington clerk at the land office.
The department allowed an extra clerk
on account of the additional work
caused by the consolidation with the
Neligli office. There is no doubt that
Miss Harrington, like Doc’s other ap
pointee, will make an efficient clerk, but
there is also no doubt that she, like
Doc’s other appointee, is entitled to no
8900 position under a republican.
J. P. Mann Informs us that the crowd
at his special sale last Saturday was so
large that his force of clerks was taxed
to its utmost the entire day. Mr. Mann
credits the phenomenal success of these
“special” days to printers’ ink and the
fact that the .public has long since
learned that he always does exactly as
he advertises. Judicious advertising is
twice blessed. It blesseth him that
advertiseth and it blesseth him that
printeth. _
Sun: The Frontier claims the credit
of having Reporter King to vtake down
the speeches of Judge Emery and Mr.
Moses and asks the public to give it
credit for such enterprise. The facts
are. Reporter King was hired by the
local irrigation committee. Now let
Tub Frontier pay Reporter King.
This is a sample of the truthfulness of
the Scott organ.
Don’t get excited, Charles. Tub
Frontier paid Reporter King more for
a copy of the speeches than the society
did for the original.
The Knights of Pythias Monday even
ing celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of
their order by inviting a large number
of their friends to meet with them in
their hall and spend an evening in
pleasant social intercourse. The invi
tation was accepted by a goodly number
of genial souls and a very pleasant
evening spent. The entertainment was
opened by a few introductory remarks
by Q. C. Hazelet, followed with a solo by
Mrs. Hazelet, after which Prof. Morrow
addressed the guests upon the benefits
of the order. Dancing and card playing,
interrupted by an elegant lunch, fur
nished amusement for the guests.
The following from the pen of Doc
Bixby, with the State Journal, we know
will strike a responsive chord in the
hearts of full many a patron of the
O'Neill public school: "Children in
our public schools are learning to read
notes and draw fig leaves in crayon
when they can’t repeat the multiplica
tion table up to and including the ‘sixes.’
I love to hear the children sing and
know that they can paint a chigger,
but mathematics is the thing to serve
them when they want to ‘figger.’ I
wish they’d drop the useless fads that
take up time without requiting, and
give our little girls and lads instructions
in the art of writing. If teachers do
not like to be so criticised in public
places, I pray that they will come to me
and let me roast them to their faces. A
pupil ot these schools of late, who
hopes some day to go to college, is bent
of form anl bald of pate awaiting rudi
mental knowledge. He learns to march,
to mould in clay, and sing—that fact
there is no dodging—His parents then
grown old and gray, depend on him for
food and lodging.”
Anaconda (Mont.) Standard: One of
the happiest marriages that ever took
place in Butte was the one at St. Pat
rick’s church at 9:30 this morning, when
James McNichols, city marshal of
Butte, and Miss Sadie Dolan, one of
Butte’s most popular young ladies,
were made man and wife. The marshal
for years was engineer at the Anaconda
mine, resigning his position last spring
to serve the city and take charge of the
police fotce. His fair bride is daughter
of William Dolan, foreman of the
Wake-Up-Jim mine. The lovely bride
was most attractively attired. Joe
Dolan, her brother, was best man and
Miss Stacy Kane, neice of Paddy Kane,
superintendent of the Anaconda mine,
was bridesmaid. The ceremony was
performed by Father Baten, and was
followed by an elegant wedding break
fast. The happy couple had intended
making a tour of Montana cities, and
had planned leaving far Helena this
this afternoon. The lamentable and
sudden death this morning of the bride’s
nephew caused a postponement of the
trip, Mr. and Mrs. McNichols will be
at home after February 10, at No. 17
Ohio avenue.
The groom is a son of Pat McNichols
who resides about 3 miles west of O’Neill
and is quite well known in this city,
having made a visit of about two months
with his parents here about five years
ago. His friends wish him happiness.

Mr. Emery on Irrigation.
[CONTINUED MOM LAST WEEK.]
up in the morning. Paris Just as bad,
Qlassgow just as bad, and there is one
acre in the center of New York that
holds more human souls than any acre
on this planet. You know how it Is,
Mr. President, your young men have
been running off to Omaha, New York,
Kansas City and Chicago. Your cities
are congested. You are feeding your
poor in Omaha. They were telling the
people to go into their garrets and get
their old clothes and give them to the
poor. Don’t say "tramps.” It Is a
great army of young men,most of whom
I think want work and can't get it.
What are you going to do about itT
Don’t say you are not going to do any
thin? about it. for if too don’t rio an mo.
thing about it, it will do something
with you. (Loud nod prolonged ap- ■
plauae.) You can’t forever feed the
great army in Omaha. What caused
that army to go there? Because we are
entering on a new civilization and be
cause we have no more open unimproved
lands for your young men to go to. We
have come to a new condition of things
and that new condition is full of good
things and is centrally situated. And
how? It is arid America. Why Kan
sas and Nebraska, if settled as thickly
as England and Wales, would hold all
the population of the United States. We
have immense room in the west but the
trouble is it is semi-arid and arid.
Now my cure for this is the opening
of arid America so that our young men
and these Americans that are out of
work can come out here and get homes.
Not a home of 100 acres; Irrigation
means small homes. The curse of Kan
sas and Nebraska has been that we have
all sought to be large farmers and we
have had poor farming. Irrigation
means small farms and good farming.
A man don’t need 100 acres to get a
living off of, and he won’t have it in the
future. Now I want to Invite your at
tention to the question of irrigation for
a minute and what it is going to do for
us. It means for you to go into the
the Platte valley and take a pump or
some cheap power and raise the water
from that inexhaustable bed of sand and
irrigate. The first year if you can’t do
much, irrigate a half acre; next year
make it an acre and when you have got
five acres irrigated in the Platte valley
you are rich. Ten makes a man rich in
California today, and why isn’t an acre
in the Platte valley as good?
Irrigation then means small farms and
getting three crops of alfalfa a year and
two crops of something else a year. In
California it means to get five crops of
alfalfa a year. You have got to make
this land do all it is capable of doing.
Your work is a work of education. I
don’t know how to farm by irrigation
and you don’t know, but »e have got to
learn it; it is an art. Irrigation now in
California is carried to such perfection
that they understand it pretty well.
They know how to handle water. We
don’t know how much we are going to
need. Some years we don’t need a great
deal and some years we need more; and
I have another question: I will come to
it presently. I want your son that has
nothing before him and has a stout
heart and strong arms to come out here
and get ten acres of land, put up a wind
mill or a pump, or tap one of your
rivers and irrigate a garden. Hake a
beginning and he will soon learn how
moch water he needs on that spot of
earth from year to year and presently
you will have rows of farms very differ
ent from your present modes of farming.
You know about Greely in California.
A potato acre of land is worth more
than any acre of land in the United
States today. There is mure money in
TAiainf? nnUtOPA than nnvthin<r pIua wo
have. I went through one potato field
south of Los Angeles where they had
taken off the second crop and they bad
taken 500 bushels of potatoes this year,
so you let a young man get his farm, go
to farming by irrigation and it is a sure
thing. It’s like life insurance. A farmer
said to me last night: “I bare been
here nine years and hare raised some
decent crops but the balance have been
failures.” That’s the story of all semi
arid lands the world over. We have
read about famine in India. England
some years ago went to spending money
to save the population when there came
a dry year, and now India has becomes
great wheat growing county all brought
about by this art of irrigation.
The next thought that I want to bring
out on this question of irrigation is that
it is to be small farms. Then a man
won’t be discouraged. I don’t blame a
woman for not wanting to be shut off
from neighbors. If you have a farm of
ten or twenty acres you see that feeling
is at once done away with. We men
get into our buggies or ,on horse-back
and go off and smoke our cigars and
come back and the woman has been in
that house all day, (loud applause) and
she has become uneasy and her man is
uneasy and be sells out and goes back to
bis wife's people. Now bow ere you
going to irrigate? Qoiog to erect great '
plant!? Well tbia ia tbe way tbey talk
about It to me; Where are you going to
get tbe water? Tbey think they have f
me where tbe Yankee had tbe aonr
apple tree. Now you bare more water
than we hare in Kanaaa. The flrat thing
is to use all tbe water in your running
stroams; draw out your running water,
use It up. We haven’t got much running
water in Kansas to use up. Uae op ?
your running water, that’s oneway.
Another way is to store your water—you
know that’s a very sensible thing to do.
If you apply tbe law of economy to
water as we do everything else, there ia
water enough running down tbe Uic
sourl and Mississippi. Tbe second
method is by storing water. Hardly a
farm on tbe western plains but has little
inundations and you can make a dam.
Do It and let your neighbor do It on bin
farm and percolation takes place, but
store that water and then neat July
when you want it drawn off onto »
garden you can do it. On a hundred
and slaty you couldn’t do it if you
wanted to. One man will be busy tbs
year round and ten acres keeps him
hopping. You want to give up Irrigat
ing a hundred and sixty. Now I say
build storages for storm water. That is
wbat they are now doing In the moun
tains and that Is what we want the gen*
eral government to do by way of a gen*
eral survey. That is what the general 1
government is doing. These resorvolrs |
in the mountains are very costly. They
cost a great deal of money—a hundred
thousand dollars—but they irrigate the
whole country so that tboy pay for the
investment. We on the plains have no
such reservoirs to build, but we have
smaller ones so that we can store. We
don’t need as much as they do. In Cali
fornia it is sand. Water and sand will
produce anything on earth. It does in
California. Some one spoke of 0 per
cent, being Irrigated, but only 2 per
cent, of California is Irrigated today.
You irrigate that much and we see the
results. You see the population that it
will sustain. Now these reservoirs
which I want to call your attention to i
and this is what we are aiming at.
Uncle Sam is making an irrigation sur
vey in theomountain states he has that
laid off as I read here. (Here reads from
paper.) A hundred and forty-seven
reservoir cites. California has thirty
three of these, Colorada forty-six, Mon
tana twenty-seven, New Mexico thirty
nine, Nevada two, your state has not
got one, my state has not got one. There
is none of this work being done east of
the Rocky mountains. You will not get
any of this work done until you ask him
to do it and make him do it.
Now what does it mean to make these
reservoir sites? They discover where ••
there is a catch-basin of low land run
ning down hill, they make a survey and
learn how much water is caught on the
land that runs into that particular place
and then lay out a reservoir and take all
that water that goes down that catch
basin, then they withdraw from public
sale all the lands within that reservoir
site and you can’t buy them. They may
be a few fellows living there but they
will have to be bought out. You can
take your capital and make one of yoor
reservoirs, take your surveyor there and
he will survey and you take your pri
vate capital and go to work, you can do
it alone. For some it would be very ex
pensive but wbat we want is for Uncle
Sam to carry that survey all over the
country and we want him to do it now.
We need it for reasons that I have re
ferred to in my remarks. So that my
first method is to use all your running
water by ditches. Second—Build reser
voirs. In one county in my state they
are now building only one reservoir. In
the county of Finney in the valley of
the Arkansas one man put In a little
reservoir heie, another there. He goes
down a little ways in the sand and gets
water plenty, and he’s making a demon
stration. We have got to learn yet how
to do this. Yoor Platte valley is to be a
great garden yet and it is not to be done
by reservoirs but by water lifting; that
is the great source of supply, because
there is more of it there than anywhere
else.
Did you ever think that the land,
much of it, between the Arkanaas and
Platte valley ia lower than either of
these two rivers. They were once deep
canyons. We have surveyed 800 feet In
the Arkansas and the rod has gone
through nothing but sand and water.
I don’t know how deep your Platte
valley is but it is immense and the water
all lies within a short distance of the
surface of the ground. Now yon are to
lift that water up. How are you going
to lift it? Why, lift it by wind power
or by electricity before these boys are
old men. One fellow says bow are yon
going to do it? the wind don’t blow half
the time, you can’t get water enough to
water a garden. We are all looking out
fotthetrnth. I will tell you what I
