Hr. Emery On Irrigation, [CONTINUKD FROM FIRST l'AUR.] j* Kow I want Uncle Sam to make these ; surveys to see how much of that water there is: that is part of what nn irrigu lion survey means. You and I don't know how deep the water is hut we want a survey that shall tell. Provide capital so that it can go to work and do it. You and I can’t go to work and build a reservoir until we can tell how much land it will wet. Another method is to sink artesian wells. We have no artesian wells in Kansas, because to have artesian wells you have got to have a place higher than the water. There are mountains up here in Dakota that are higher. So a fourth method is by artesian welis. There is n basin in Dakota where they are irrigating some farms mostly by artesian wells. How I want Uncle Sam to tell mo where I can get an artesian well. Then a fifth method, or fifth thing that’s got to be done is to stop all prairie fires and all fires in the timber in the mountains. I don’t want to see any more praric fires. It makes the back of. the prairie ns good as if shingled to make a roof to run the water off. (Here reads from a book, quoting from Major Powers.) Now what I say will apply to the mountains, not to Nebraska. "Man by himself is making no impression upon the forrests of America. The great father of us all is not going to leave us here to freeze. ’ He says that there are now more trees growing in the TJnited States than there was twenty-five years ago—more trees eaBt of us—He has made those down easters; they are all surveyed In Massa chusetts, You can go to Washington and you can tell where every tree in Massachusetts is on the maps. Powers said to me: ‘You come into my olllce and I can show you every wood lot in Massachusetts.’ He says I have seen one fire in Colorado destroy more timber than has been used by man from the immigration to Piko’s Peak up to the present time. One fire in Colorado has destroyed more timber thHn has been used since Colorado was settled in 1860.” Mow the use of timber on tbe moun tain sides is very important. When 1 was in Los Angeles I met an engineer. He said to me: "And you will see men digging holes on the sides of the moun tains in southern France, with wheel barrows full of dirt to put around the trees.” So we shall be re-foresting the mountains of arid America. We are the most watchful people. We must learn, Mr. President, to make a dollar go further than we have been making It go. 1 was at the world’s fair and saw champagne on draft at SO cents a glass—60 cents a drink—champagne 50 cents a drink I and a dude came along with his hair parted in the middle; he thought it would be smart to drink a glass of champagne at 50 cents a drink. That fellow put a dollar inside of his mouth in about five minutes. Tbe thrifty German would not have done that though he likes his beer. You want to feel that every time you see a prairie fire here that somebody is losing some money. So there are five ways. First—You are going to go ahead with this irriga tion scheme; it is a grand scheme. (Pro longed applause.) Do you know what an irrigated acre uf land isf I saw the chief engineer of the Riverside company in California. He told me that a fellow who had two quarter sections came out there. He thought he had a spring on his land. I made a survey and told him to hunt the spring. So he did but failed to find it. He says you just come out here and I will deed these two quarters to yOu for your day's work. That land today is worth 8800 per acre with water on it. Your,land I am told is worth 810 to $35 per acre. I venture 1 make no guess—if you do what you are talking about doing here today—that land will pay an inter est on $300 an acre. (Applause.) Sup pose you can get three crops of alfalfa a year. They get seven in California. It is worth 85 a ton and it will produce two tons per acre. Three crops a year, 880 an acre. There is interest on land at $400 an acre. Mow get it. Get it and you have 8300 an acre. You find no irrigated land in Califbrnia today at less than 8100 an acre. It you will lead out the waters of your rivers here and use thia water then vou have made a begin aiag. Down in my state we have got to dam up the storm waters and then lead them oat, so there is everything tp encourage you in carrying forward this enterprise. It is not an uncertainty; it is a certainty. There is one subject that there is a little bit of politics in,and that is the question of what the government has power to do. You have heard of paternalism. We have a little of it down in Kansas. It is running our state. The general government has the power and the duty to do for us all that we ask. Now un derstand, Mr. President, we are not ask ing the general government to come out and make farms for us. Here is what Mr. Vilas said when he was president under Cleveland. It is to take the • water from the Missouri river; be says t it can be done. (Here reads from Sec retary Vilas’ letter.) I am a bad kind of A democrat my self; I will read you a little republican authority. I say the government has the authority and 1 • want it to do it. (Here reads from the geographical survey, Mr. Powell.) For every acre of land reclaimed to agriculture in Montana another acre will be reclaimed in Louisann. Run a canal if you please. That canal would have to be built by Uncle Sam. Don’t Uncle Sam build canals? What’s he doing at Iienepin today? Run a canal from Hock Island to-. Vilas says that a canal can take the waters of the Yellow stone and Missouri. Some of them would come into Nebraska and Kansas. The time will come gentlemen when Uncle Sara will do such things. (Great applause.) lias the general government power to do this? I don’t want any secretary to tell me that I might ns well buy fence posts for farmers in Massachusetts. (Loud applause.) Now, Mr. President, I always preach a short sermon; it has got the meat in the cocoanut. (The president and the audience cries, “Go ahead.” Well, let me tell you another thing. Take Texas. Do you know that one third of Texas is not settled today? And why? Because it is drier than a horn, and it has not had any rain since last June. Half of Oklahoma Is dry and you must not think that because it is~ near the sea it is of course wet. Major Power tells me that the driest place is in the Gulf of California and there is never A drop of water falls on the land right there. I was interested in view of this irrigation question from another point and I might allude to it that we are going to have the best civilization in the arid America, that is society. That’s what the young men say. The best society is to take place on arid America and the California coast. If it be true that we are to have the best condition of society, I say that in the town of lliverside I beheld an ideal condition of human happiness.. I talked with men living on spots of five acres, ten acres and twenty acres. There was not a whisky salooon in that town, filled with churches. We stopped there a day. So careful were they with their water that it was commented, and you had neighbors close by. I prononneed it an ideal condition of human life on this globe. So I might go on and de velop this question, but what I want to leave with you is this: Begin in a small way. A farmer stood up down at my great meeting in August and said: "I have a half acre and a pump and I get a living.” A half acre—one acre—get started. If any of you fellows living along the river can draw out that water on one acre this spring, go and do it. (Great applause.) Make a beginning and it is as catching as tlfe itch. As soon as one man dues it another will do it. Two or three men have spent thousands of dollars in digging a ditch only ninety miles long and it is as dry as a horn and always has been because there was no water to put in it. Now after all that waste of money there are a few men that have pumped it up and there are little reservoirs being built for them. Gentlemen, don’t forget that an irrigated little piece of land—and here’s something for the women—some of the best orange orchards are owned and attended by women; a’ woman will get more out of a little patch of ground. | A woman they say will take an orange orchard and get more out of it than anv | man on earth. Get a pump and go to work and get your own living; it is a plagued site better than to marry a fel low that can’t support you. (Loud and prolonged applause.) Now if you are going to support them get a little patch and irrigate it and I will come up from Kansas- to see you prosper as . I know you will prosper. [the end.] The blood is the source of health.

His wife asked him for the fourth consecu tive day to do a certain errand for her at one of the down-town stores. Her husband said he would attend to the matter, provided he did not forget all about it before he got two squares from home. “Let me fix it so you will not forget it, my dear,” said his wife, as she re sorted to the old scheme of tying a string around his finger. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon the lawyer met a gentleman friend on the street, and in shaking hands the friend noticed a roll of dirty string on the lawyer’s finger. “What are you wearing that string for?” inquired the friend. “Ily George!” exclaimed the lawyer, “that's to remind me to do an errand for my wife. I must go do it right away, too, and keep peace in the fam ily,” and he started off for one of the dry goods stores. All the way to the store door the lawyer tried in vain to think what it was his wife had asked him to buy. He walked four blocks out of his way, thinking of every article he had ever known her to use; still he could not think what it was that she wanted on this particular occasion. Finally, thoroughly disgusted with himself, he returned to his office, called a mes senger and wrote a note to his wife, asking her what she had put the string on his finger for. ne waited nearly an hour for the return of the messenger, paid the boy sixty cents, and then had the extreme pleasure of reading this from his lovely little wife: “Dearest: I did want you to get me some cliineal, but I knew you would never think of it, so I sent Mary down this afternoon and she got it for me.” OUGHT TO BE IN HEAVEN. A. Millionaire Whose Ambition Is to Have a Sone-Ssoh Home. Architects have some very trying experiences with wealthy patrons who want to own palaces that excel in beauty and costliness those of their Fifth avenue neighbors. A wealthy New Yorker had more than thirty elaborate plans drawn, at $300 a plan, and rejected all of them. “Of course we can’t complain,” said an architect, “so long as we get his check. This man has about worried the life out of us trying to get up a plap of a mansion that would suit him. If he goes to the club he meets some one who gives him an idea of what his home should be. He gets ideas also when visiting the residences of his neighbors or from reading up descrip tions of houses in different periodicals. “Well, would you believe that man actually got me out of bed at 1 a. m. to tell me he had at last hit on a plan for a mansion that would be the finest in the world? It was to be an exact duplicate of the White house. Well, we prepared another set of plans for him, but a week later he changed his mind. The only thing that will ever suit that client of mine is a castle in paradise. “Our wealthy New Yorkers are now building mansions that are as strong as forts. They are as well guarded by bolts and bars as any fortress of the days of old. In case of a social revolution and an attack by a mob on Fifth avenue mansions many of them would be found almost impregnable. Steel shutters that slide out of sight are now coming in vogue to protect the windows of mansions along the fashionable thoroughfares, anil the thick oaken doors would withstand a great deal of battering before they would yield.” Bargain. , She had been a servant ere she became rich, and was able to assume a very high quality of liateur. She bestowed a withering glance upon the artist. “Do I understand you to say you charge me $1,000 for painting the portrait of my grandfather?" she de manded incredulously. The painter bowed low. “You understand me aright,” he replied simply. She sneered. “Very well-” She shrug ged her shoulders coldly. -then, but I shall insist-” Her lip curled. “-that you pay the model.” Lean ing gracefully over the escritoire she wrote a check. tiire is suort. While living in Boston, Edison bought Faraday's works on electricity, commenced to read them at 3 o’clock in the morning, and continued until his room-mate arose, when they start ed on their long walk to get bieak fast. That end, however, was en tirely subordinated in Edison’s mind to Faraday, and he suddenly remarked to his friend: “Adams, I have got so much to do and my life is so short, that I have got to hustle;” and with that he started off on a dead run for breakfast. Fart of the Government. As the train stopped at a small town in Virginia, the mail-bag was thrown to a negro boy of perhaps fifteen years, who started off at a brisk run to the postoffice. But a larger boy, turning a corner, suddenly ran into the mail carrier and overturned him. As soon as he recovered himself, he turned upon the aggressor. “Look-a-heali!” ho exclaimed; “you wants to be keer ful of dis chile. When you knocks me down, you jars do whole gov’ment of de United States. I carries de mail!” Education In the South. There are 35,330 negro schools now in the South, where 3,350,000 negroes have learned to read and most of them to write. In the colored schools are 338,000 pupils and 30,000 negro teach ers. There are 150 schools for ad vanced education and seven colleges administered by negro presidents and faculties. LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. LEGAL NOTICE. Riley O. Cunningham, Minnie M.
