SIOUX CITY la Oct 2G TheJour
nad this morning publishes an inter
view with Senator Fred J -Dubois of
Blackfoott Idaho on the object of ir
rigation in the west Senator Dubois
is quoted as saying
It is going to be a leading question
for congress to deal with There isnt
any doubt but that conditions demand
an immediate consideration of this
matter and speedy action I think
these conditions bear a strong relation
to the industrial situation in this coun
try today We are complaining of pov
erty among the people when out In
this great new western country there
are over 100000000 acres of land that
are not used because they are fit for
nothing in the present condition but
which can be reclaimed for agricul
tural purposes by irrigation
In our state it is covered with
sage brush It is virgin soil and it
is the best soil in the United States
no place excepted Sections that are
irrigated through private or corporate
means produce crops of grain vegeta
bles and fruit that no section of the
country can equal For instance the
soil will produce from 200 to 300 bush
els of potatoes to the acre and 25
bushels of wheat to the acre
We have the Snake river a natural
stream passing through Idaho whose
waters are used for irrigation pur
poses by private persons and compan
ies This river has a volume of water
about like the Ohio river and along
its valleys canals and ditches- are dug
to drain the water out over the lands
I should say 2500 miles of canals and
ditches have been built by individuals
and companies made up from a half
dozen to a hundred farmers each The
most of the latter institutions are the
co operative plan
The plan I expect to promote this
winter has been practically agreed
upon by the senators and representa
tives in the western states which are
interested It is proposed that the
government take hold of the matter
of the development of these arid lands
The receipts of the land offices of the
various states derived from the sale of
government lands are to be applied as
far as they are in excess of the salaries
of the receivers registrars etc to a
fund to be expended in the building
of reservoirs and canals on the high
lands Thus the great quantities of
water that come from the snows on
the mountains may be stopped from
racing madly to the southlands and
flooding the lower Mississippi out of its
banks causing loss of life and great
destruction of property The waters
will be caught and corralled in the
immense reservoirs and thence out
into the radiating ditches and released
over the lands of the west as re
quired by conditions or directed by
law
You see this government irrigation
will permit lands now unused to be re
claimed and sold to homeseekers by
the government which will raise more
money each year for the irrigation
fund By this scheme of evolution
every acre of arid land will eventually
be made ready for cultivation in the
great arid belt California Idaho Wy
oming Montana Utah the Dakotas
Nebraska and other states are inter
ested in this matter
The management oZ the land of
fices will remain with the government
but there might be state laws to reg
ulate the distribution of the water It
would be necessary to legislate to pre
serve the great white pine forests that
stand on the hills of the west in order
to avert the rapid melting of the snows
Men from the east are buying largd
tracts of these timber lands to cut out
the trees but this can be checked
We have in the state of Idaho alone
12000000 acres of unused lands

hour in an execution after the con
demned man had been taken into the
death house at Auburn penitentiary

HIGH PRICE E0R LIVE CATTLE
Bunch of Steers and Heifer Brine 9030
Per liundred
OMAHA Oct 23 That choice cattle
are bringing high prices at the South
Omaha market was again demonstrat
ed yesterday by the sale of a bunch
of steers and heifers that sold at the
highest prices of the season The cat
tie were raised on a farm at Papil
lion owned by A W Clark They
Were nearly two years old and werr
Whitefaces and Shorthorns For near
ly a year they have been on full feed
and were given a ration of corn meal
and alfalfa hay When weighed at
the stock yards they showed an aver
age weight of 1257 pounds and sold
for S30
The highest price paid previous to
this time was 625 and that was for
straight steers The fact that out of
the nineteen head marketed by Mr
Clark there were ten heifers makes
this sale by far the highest of the sea
son It may safely be said that 630
is the highest price ever paid at South
Omaha for thrt many heifers
Mr Clark is a firm believer ia the
theory that it pays to raise good cat
tle and in making them fat before
sending them to market He has one
of the best equipped feeding yards in
the state and he seldom fails to top
the market whenever he has cattle for
sale

Miscellaneous Nebraska Matters
OMAHA Oct 23 Nothing that has
occurred- recently in Omaha has oc
casioned as much perplexity as the
receipt of the letters that purport tb
have coma from Pat Crowe in which
he is represented to be ambitious to
come in and give himself up The
published reports have given rise to
all kinds of speculation While the
chief of police and public officials gen
eraly seem to entertain no doubt that
the letters came from Crowe and that
he really does contemplate coming
in to give himself up to stand trial
for the Cudahy kidnapping there are
hundreds who cling to the conviction
that the communications are clever
forgeries and that Crowe has no
more Inclination to give himself up
now than at any time during the long
period that has elapsed since the
abduction of Eddie Cudahy Among
those who profess to think that Crowe
never wrote the letters is James Cal
lahan who was arrested as an accom
plice of Crowe in the abduction was
acquitted of the charge and has since
been held on the charge that he per
jured himself at the trial Callahan
is quoted as having said that Crowe
could never write such a letter as the
one which is alleged to have come
to the World Herald and that it
sounded more as if it had been writ
ten by Bill Bryan
That Chief Donahue has never
doubted the authenticity of the let
ters is attested by the haste with
which he advised E A Cudahy and
the city officials to withdraw thebig
rewards and the readiness with t ch
they complied with his requf - Mr
Cudahy very succinctly stated how
ever that he did it in responce to the
request of the chief of police and upon
that officials judgment Judge D M
Vinsonhaler of the county court de
clined to adhere to the program mark
ed out by the outlaw He would not
agree that in case Crowe gave him
self up he would be liberatted on a
bond of 500 which was one of the
conditions imposed in the letters al
leged to have come from the fugitive
