The largest area ever watered In
the Salt river valley was Irrigated by

ter enough to cover each acre with
five feet of water. A guarantee of suf
ficient water In tlmo of drought Is fur

In military circles them Is consid
erable discussion as to whether Ger
man or English war tactics are super
ior. It Is certain that war with either
nation would leave In Its track death
and desolation. It will be a glad day
fo r the race when the planning and
preparation for war is all abandoned
in one universal desire for peace. It
would seem that with all the wretched
ness the world has undergone from
J war that the big nations might agree
to quit now.
The great fish market of the world
has long been at Grimsby , Eng. , Bos
ton taking second place , but plans
are now being considered which may
leave both those places by establishing
stations at Kltchlkan , Prince of Wales
Island , Alaska , and at Prince Rupert ,
the Pacific terminus of the G-und
Trunk line. These points are near
the greatest salmon , halibut and rock-
cod fisheries In the world.
It is amusing enough to be pathetic
to notice how solicitous the republi
can politicians are that the democrats
properly conduct affairs In the next
congress when they will have control
of the house. The best thing the re
publicans can do is to attend to their
own knitting and make this present
session of congress a "hummer" in
the achievement of constructive legis
lation for the general welfare.
The death of United States Senatoi
Clay of Georgia takes another of the

islative activities who lias been promi

elected in 189C to succeed the lion ,
John B. Gordon and has served con
tlnually since. While not one of the
Brilliant men in congress , he was n
very useful one and in manv of the
debates on the tariff and other ques

The Idea I hit land planted to iroof
Is of little value Is a very enormous
one. The value of the Norway 'poplar
which lias been nick-named the "sud
den saw log , " from its rapid growth
Is being emphasized In the northwest
In four years , it is said to attain a
circumference of fifteen inches , three
feet from the ground and in a shorl
time will yield fence posts. The
wood is equal to pine for flooring , in
side casing and other purposes and as
SOO trees can be planted to "an acre
the profits are readily estimated.
A movement has been organized hi
; London to abate the smoke nuisance
by gradually centralizing the powei
producing plants and the general use
of electric currents In all mills , fac
i torles and homes of the city. It has
. been estimated that the centrallzatlor
. of.tho power plants would mean a sav
. Ing of six million tons of coal a year
! and the reduction of the curse ol
smoke to a minimum. A campaign ol
education IB being carried on to i > ro

s The modern woman's club bogar
. less than fifty years ago with the
- founding of the Sorosls in New Yorl
, and of the New England Womnn'f
L club In Boston. There has been some
scattering clubs before these , but the
j modern woman's club devoted to nc
) live service for the betterment of so
, clety along some definite line date :
- from the successful organization o
L these two clubs. The general fedora
3 tlon was born when the Sorosls gain
. ed Its majority as a fitting celobratloi
, of the twenty-first anniversary.
j The American women are accomp
I llshing much more In their morn quio
[ and womanly methods toward giMnint
the ballot than the English siiffra
! gettes by their disgusting and violent
. demonstrations. Washington the
. fifth state In the union to grant equa
I suffrage , has been added to their Us
I within the month. The latest breul
. qf the English women determined te
have the right to vote , was to at
tack Premier Asqulth In n mob several
hundred strong. They kicked , bit and
clawed till a hundred or more were
landed In Jail. Imagine arming such
eieutures as that with the powers of
citizenship.
i ne moving pictures ami low priced
\audevllle uiu responsible for the final
extinction of the dime museum which

Out of tlio best known of them' Instl-
iiitliiiiK wnit-li has flourl-'i'jd foi uanv
yais In New Vork , sold out at aue-
tlc-n a short time ago , for lack of pat
ronage. There is often much that Is
cheap and objectionable In the mod
ern moving picture , but it Is certain
ly an Improvement on the old dime
museum whoso foundation was the ab
normal , hideous and repulsive. Tlu >
atmosphere of these places which dis
played nature's tragedies for n dime
was morbid and depressing to any one
possessed of any Intelligence or re
fined sensibilities.
On his recent Boventy-llfth birthday
when he gave awiy $3,500,000 , An
drew Carnegie remarked that he was
prouder of his schools than anything
else he had done for mankind. Mr.
Carnegie seems to be able to Judge
pretty shrewdly as to the relative val
ue of his benefactions. His libraries
have been a good Investment. They
are centers of Influence for good In
numerous small places , but there Is
more civilization In a school like the
Carnegie Institute In Plttsburg than
In ninny libraries. Mr. Carnegie could
not do better than to fix his mind on
industrial schools and arrange to en-
I dow as many as possible in the years
remaining to him.
I It Is one of the anomalies of Amur
i lean politics that the congress electo'i '
| by the people in November of this
year will not take Its seat until a y i > .i
from next December. We talk aboui
the "voice of the people , " but It ! t-
not heard until thirteen months nftci
It has been expressed. Such antiquated
machinery as this ought to be taker
out in the national back yard and lit
erally hacked to pieces. The countrj
at the recent election chose a congress
gross with a majority of fifty demo
prntn In the house. Why shouldn't
, they assume within sixty days , at tin
outside , the responsibilities \vhlcl
have been placed upon them ?
The widely reported accounts of ed
ucated Indians using the knowledge
gained from white men's schools onlj
to make them more clever in tlieii
wickedness , is very far from the trutl
when applied to the majority. Pro
I'essor Friedman of Carlisle tells defl
nltely of the careers of 415 living grad
nates of that institution of whom onlj
five are idling. Some are pursuing
their education in college , some are
farming , many are in business am
following all sorts of successful am
honorable callings , While 112 of flu
girls graduated are now mistresses o :
modern homes and bringing up tlieii
families in civilized American ways
This Is as good a record as othei
schools with white pupils can show.
Captain Gleaves' command to "closi
the exits and flood the room" on boart
the battleship North Dakota when i
compartment was on fire was an ordei
which not every man could have mustered
terod up courage to give. Three mei
were in that compartment flghtliu
fire and this was reported to the cap
tain with the Information that th <
flames were making headway. His
*
command was instantly obeyed tin
exits were closed , the room floodec
and the fire extinguished , but at tin
sacrifice of the three poor fellows win
were In that compartment puttint
forth their utmost eiTorts to subdue
the flames. Though It lias been de
clared by experts in maritime matter !
I hat the ship could not have beei
saved unless that order had been giv

cold.
THE COMING Ot > WINTER.
Few older people see winter comi
without regret. Decadence of vege
tatlon , death of flowers and fruits , af
feet with melancholy all who are
sensitive to inanimate nature. Tin
farther one goes north , the more then
Is of snowbound country and physica
ills that make the season dreaded.
The deathlike hush over the land
scape so often In November has ami
nous suggestion of frost. The brown
ing earth creates an atmosphere verj
different from the April landscape
when mating songs of birds am
springing vegetation make pulses
stir.
But to the clearsighted there Is hope
and consolation even in December. I
the leaves have fallen , It but reveah
the sturdy power of the tree. If tin
fields are brown from frost or whiti
with snow , they reflect light and se
the air dancing with sunshine.
Winter brings tonic , and If wo Iiv <
as far as possible in the open air
wo avoid Ills that result from self
imprisonment in stuffy homes am
offices and shops.
NEBRASKA'S GROWTH.
Nebraska's growth of a little eve
11 percent within ten years may DI
considered satisfactory by comparlsoi
with the loss of population in semi
states and the smaller Increase li
others , but It must he homo In mind
that Nebraska ten years injo could
stand a lot of growth and still not
become us populous us the roinurces
of this rich commonwealth might
justify.
Increase In population la no longer
a hit-and-miss proposition , cither In
cities or In states. A community with
resources that will sustain an In-
e't eased population , needs only to
point out those resources and ad
vantages In order to get the popula
tion. There are desirable cltl/.ens
everywhere waiting to be distributed ,
ami n little scientific advertising will
get results.
Hy a liberal advertising appropria
tion the Nebraska legtaluturo could
liibiire an incieiiHO in'population for
the next ten years , much greatei than
11 percent.
THE MEXICAN SITUATION.
The news from the front that the
Mexican riots have been practically
suppressed and that the Diaz forces
are still in complete control of the
government , will be good news to
America In general. The welfare of
Mexico demands that Diaz be held In
power , and consequently Americans
Interested in that country In a busi
ness way will welcome the dispatches
telling of the Diaz victory.
Diaz rules with an Iron hand , it Is
true , but an Iron hand is essential to
the welfare of Mexico. Half the popu
lation Is made up of barbarians and
savages , uncivilized and no more lit
to rule themselves than are our In
dians.
What civilization and modern In
fluence is found in Mexico , has come
1'iom the strong guiding hand of
President Diaz. Ills overthrow by a
band of irresponsible revolutionists
would mean that the government
which has been so successfully car
ried on , must become demoralized and
that probably graft would take the
upper hand in government affairs.
President Diaz is a congenial gentle
man to meet , the editor of The News
having had that privilege on a trip
to Mexico a few years ago. Ho is a
man of polish , of dignity and of keen
intelligence. Diaz lives in Chapulta-
pec , a fort on the top of a mountain ,
about four miles from the center of
the City of Mexico , reached by but a
single narrow roadway , guarded by
soldiers constantly. The sides of the
mountain are perpendicular , defying
would-be climbers. The president en
ters nn underground elevator at the
foot of the mountain and is whisked
up and down in this manner.

NEW YORK DRAMATIC LETTER

Oscar HanimerHte'ln has truiiHforruil
management of his Manhattan opera
house to his mm William , who began

day season of vaudovlllo beginning on
Monday evening. The change IB due
to the fact that Mr. Hamnu'rHteln ex

New York has not seen n play that
makes n stronger appeal to one's high
