Cou.sni. Hum's , la. , Jnn. 10. To the Edi
tor of TUB Unn : Several years DKO I trav
clod considerably through the arid rofjlon
and cnmo back thoroughly convinced thnt If
loft to Individuals It will lake generations to
reclaim It by Irrigation. Kach Individual
out there seemed to nave his own Idea "on
how to do It. " There is really but one prac
tical way If wo in our day wish to too It
accomplished. That Is , the Ronoral govern
ment must undertake the job , reserving all
water rights to Itself. Tbo system should
bo to build storage reservoirs to catch and
liold the waters running down the mountain
, sides. In valleys llku the 1'latto , the Bntilto ,
and the Columbia , these reservoirs should bo
bo built on the elevated lands , and the water
puinpod Into thorn from the rivers and run
ning streams. You will llnd this oysiotn In
vogue in Colorado , Arizona , and In Aus
tralia. In Egypt the water Is dipped
up from the Nile rind passed from
hand to hand until it reaches
the higher laml , when It Is then distributed
from the watertight rush baskets , Vou canoe
oo by this how Moses catno to bo hid In the
nrk of bulrushes. If you will got I'roscott's
Conquest of Peru , volume I , you will llnd
how the Peruvians Ural irrigated the land
and then planted colonies on It.
Now then , wo luivo the laud , the water and
" the systems before us. The question is , will
the general government do the work ) I
think not. Consequently aeubstltuto for the
Rovernmcnt must Uo found , It Is needless to
say , you have this under your nose , In the
Union 1'acilk1 so far as It covers the arid
regions. The tracks of that company traverse -
erse nmo states and territories. It owes the
general government between f < 10,000,000 and
870,000,01)0. ) What will bo easier and more
practical tbnn for congress to authorize the
company to bet aslJo annually a stated sum
of Its earnings as an offset to its indebted
ness and proceed at once , under the super
vision of government engineers , to
build irrigating works and branch
lines and plant colonies on the lands
fto Irrigated } The government owning
alternate sections will bo benolltod by the
enhanced value of the land , and the company
will develop settlement , etc. , secure greater
earnings and pay off Its government debt
without feeling It In about twelve years.
The details' of such nn arrangement can bo
made simple. That is , whenever the pov-
ciuniont engineer finished a sot of Irrigating
works let him certify to It , and then the
government can give the company a receipt
for the monov expended. With the branch
liiio.i , the .saino method caii bo used the
government either accepting tbo Dranch
road and leasing it to the company
or accepting a lirst mortgage on the
branch road , so the government can sell It in
open market , for the credit of the company.
Tbls is my notion of the thing and you can
enlarge on it. The ultimata effect of such a
plnn will bo that it will bo the mightiest
movement in the material development of the
country , opening a tremendous marKet for
the products of our farms and manufac
tories. E. I'1. TEST.

Ogden and Salt Lake City are fruitful of
railroad schemes. It Is a rare week that
Bomo great project Is not developed and
turned loose for the enlightenment of the
1)H bile. So far thu rivalry has not called for
great resources , other than the groy matter
expended lit making them on papor.
Ogden has finished on paper a project that
casts a shadow on tbo threatened KIo Urando
extension from Salt Lake City to the coast.
It is ' Mown as the Ogden & San Francisco
Sheri Line , l ocal and foreign capital is
said to bo Interested. The route Is all sur
veyed. It Is to cross the Great Salt lake a
low miles west of Ogden , thonoo across the
American desert , through the Sierra Nevada
bv tunnels and on to the coast.
'Tho ( ir-st 1UO miles out of Ogden will bo n
perfect nir line , gaining sixty-eight miles
over the present line from Ogdnn to Loray , n
point on the Southern Paclllc When construc
tion work begins on Salt lake , heavy timber
for piles will bo forwarded from Oregon via
the Oregon Short Line. These will bo deliv
ered at the lake shore , where 3team barges
constructed for the purpose \yUl rocolvo
them and the work of driving will begin by
moans of pile drivers attached to the barges.
In this wav the line across the east arm or
the lake to Promontory will bo constructed ,
n distance of ilvu and o'no quarter miles , and
Hat CIII-H loaded with drift and sUno from
Little Round mountain will bo constantly
kept busy dumping into the laico until a
causeway is built to Promontory point. Pas
sageways will bo loit open at regular in-
vcrvals In this great causeway to allow
passage for the Bear river currents into the
'
snulh'sldo of the lake. The dyke will bo of
sufficient width to allow of a double track
being laid the cntlro way across.
From Promontory westward to the far
chore , n distance of twenty-Quo miles , the
same method will bo pursued In the construc
tion , and when finished the work will bo ouo
of the most substantial and .stupendous on
the American continent.
Tha names of ttioso who are to furnish the
money to bullu this now line to the coast
will not bo divulged nt present. Beyond the
assurance thnt the road will bo constructed
nothing can bo learned us to the llnancial
backing. Several of Ogdnn'.s leading citi
zens who nru on the Inside of the deal assort
thnt It Is a sure go.
Irrigation In Montana.
An advance proof-sheet of a special census
bulletin ou Irrigation in Montana says :
"This bulletin , the tilth ot the series devoted -
voted to irrigation In the arid states and ter
ritories , has been prepared under the direc
tion of Mr. Job n Hyde , special agent , and
relates to the state of Montana , In which
then1 nro 8,701 * farms that nro Irrigated out of

approximately 1217,000 acres irrigated
for grazing purposes. The average size
of the Irrigated farms , or moro btnotly , of
irrigated portions of farms on which crops
were raised , Is ninoty-llvo acres. The aver-
ngo llrst cost of water right is $4.0 ! ) per aero ,
nnd the average cost of preparing tbo soil for
cultivation. Including the purchase price of
the land , is fy.fiI per aero. The average
present v.iluo of the Irrigated land of the
state , Including buildings , etc. , It reported as
Jl'.i Mi per aero , showing an apparent prollt ,
loss cost of buildings , of &O.&I per aero. Tbo
nveiago annual cost of water is Oo cents per
ncro , which , deducted from the average an
nual value of products nor acre , leaves an
average annual return of ? ! ' „ ' .01 per acre.
"Tho tendency throughout the entire arid
region to do.ieribo a * irrigated all land to
which water has been applied within any
vocout period by artlllclat means , lands to
which ditches perhaps so far destitute of
" .water have been constructed , nnd oven land
I 'for which water rights merely are claimed ,
bus placed the census ofllco under the neces
sity of absolutely restricting Itself In its
olllclal bulletins on irrigutlon to land on
which cropi were actually raised by the
artificial application of water during the
year 1SS1I. The farms or stoolt ranches In
Montana Irrigated merely for grazing pur

Great hardship Is likely to follow the cloi-
Ing of tbo big mines in the Cumr d'Aiono
dutrlctue \ \ \ was sol for the 15th. January
1 was originally the date llxod by the mlno
ownori to stop shipping ere unless the rail
roads reduced tbo rates on oro. It was Intl-
VVUed that .possibly the railroads might
listen to a compromise If the tlmo was ox-
V tondcd. Bo the miners changed the date to
H January 15 , But the railroads refuse to
i inako auy rorrusslon , as the following loiter
from Gouqrul Traftlo Manager O. S. Mellon
of thu Union I'aclllo shows. The letter Is
fluted DecJmbur US aud U addressed to tha
Conir d'Aieno ' Mine Owners association. It
Is as follows !
"I am In receipt of your favor of the fithj
In which reply has boon delayed , owing to a
dcilrn on our part for reliable Information as
to the conditions surrounding the disposition
of the output of your ramp.
"From such information as wo have bo n

reason whv any reduction should bo made in

"Our information Is to the effect that the

"Such being the case , we fool It Is bettor
to submit to the temporary loss occasioned
by your shutdown rather than unnecessarily
reduce our lucomo permanently. "
The Northern Paclllo has given au answer
very similar to the above.
During I8lll there were shipped from the
Cumr d'Alcno country $000,000 worth of ere

Milan and from Milan to Wnrdner , embrac
ing an extent of territory dlfticult to toallzo
without a personal knowledge of Its bearings.
During tbo year two largo now mills have
been added to the concentrating caiwclty of
tbo district , and nearly nil the other mills
have been enlarged and improved. There
are three mills at Wardnor , two at Milan.
seven at Canyon creek and one on Mile , ,
making a total of thirteen mills in the Cmur

Detailed reports of the proceedings of the
Montana irrigation congress give a different
color to the action of the convention than
that Indicated by the dispatches. It Is true
the convention declared agaln t the Salt
Lake platform fnvorlncr cession of the arid
lands to tbo respective states and territories.
This action wus not deliberative. It was
had under pressure of a cllquo under the
lend of Senator Power , who delivered blm ;
self of many reckless statements In his
speech , Among other things ho said ho xvas
refused a place on the senate Irrigation com
mittee bcrnnso ho did not endorse segrega
tion , so ho took bis revenge by Inducing the
convention to pronounce against the Salt
Lake plan. The action does not represent
thu sentiment of the state , by any means.
Great Falls and Hullo papers criticise the
convention and ridicule the assumption ,
pretty general In the convention , that the
national government will undertake a gen
eral .system of irrigation.
Resolutions were adopted urging "tho cre
ation of a state irrigation and Immigra
tion commission , which shall ho appointed
by the governor , together with a state
engineer , which .shall have power to divide
tbo statu Into districts according to natural
slopes ; to prepare plans for the construction
of the necessary canals and reservoirs or
other works of any district , to have solo con
trol of construction , to cause the organization
of any such districts by the election bv the
legal voters of such district or five trustees ,
who shall exnrclse tbo control of such canals ,
reservoirs or other works after construction ,
issue bonds of such districts for construction ,
levy taxes and otherwise provide sinking
'
fund , interest and repairs , subject in all
cases to the laws of the state. "

Hon. R. O. Shivoly indignantly denounced
the idea as "too ridiculous to talk about. "
"The Southern Pnclilc , " ho exclaimed , "con
trols the politics of California ( striking the
railing with his fist ) . I dare any mun hero to
deny it ; control you hot they do. If the
Southern Pacific wants a road do you think
that it would try to buv this council ? No ,
sir. It would elect Its own council. " Becoming -

"an earnest appeal for the franchise and

WASIIIXOTOV , D. C. , Jan. 17. [ Special to
TIIK BKE.J "I wouldn't glvo u toss-up be
tween the present system nnd the proposed
law to elect by a direct vote of the people , "
said Senator Pettlgrew of South Dakota In
speaking today of the bill now pending In
the senate which proposes to elect United
States senators by u direct vote of tbo people
Instead of through the state legislatures.
"Thoro are advantages In both systems , "
continued tbo senator , "ana them are
serious objections. The most serious ob
jection vndur the present system U the
thwarting of the wilt of the people now nnd
then. It Is very provoking for the majority
of a state to want u certain man for initiator
nnd get some ono they do not want. Yet , It
the bill proposing an amendment to the
federal constitution making It competent for
the people to elect senators at the polls
should pass , I have no doubt the various
legislatures would ratify It and It would become -
come law , for it would not do to defeat an
opportunity for thu people to have more men
to elect to office. I don't bollevo the senators
themselves would seriously object to It. But
there are , us I have mild , two sides to tbo
question.
"H Is easier to 'setup'n convention or mass
mooting or 'lix' a primary than it is to over
come u legislature. That is my judgment of
the matter , I never tried either , but I have
seen thu workings of all sorts of political
bodies. In any decent state It is almost im
possible nt this ago of the world to use money
In electing n United States senator. It Is
more dangerous , too. than It Is doubtful , if
possible. Senatorial contests ore also fought
OUt ut thu polls now , tbo same as they would
be under a law providing for election by the
poopla. Candidates In the first place nut up
their men ut the primaries or in convention ,
ana the contest for election to thu legisla
ture when a senator is to bo elected
is drawn sharply upon personal llnus. It
'
is political , social and bns'lnuss death lor a
member of the legislature to violate his In
structions at the polls or in convention. Few
intelligent men will risk it , oven if wo do
not consider the moral ouostlon Involved In
receiving n bribe. So far us I am concerned ,
j wouiii ruincr iry 10 improperly iniiueiico
u people at the polls or in convention than In
a state legislature. Besides , when ono is
elected at the polls there is n multitude of
machinery und intricacy .vhich will cover
up misgivings and Intrigue , while ut the
legislature the chances nro few. "
"Do you think the bill will pass ! "
"I doubt it. If it got through the senate I
don't ooliuvo it would pass this house. I
have found little objection to It in the .senate- ,
and tbo objections raised to It , I find come
from the constituents of thu senators. They
themselves can have no objection. In fact I
do not see that the senators themselves have
the right to say how tlioy shall bo elected.
That is a prerogative which belongs to the
voters. "
Their Outlook It'ithor ( iloomy.
Now that the democrats nro moving to sot
aside the silver issue , and they have already
shelved "tariff reform" und given notice that
they do not propose to indulge In any legisla
tion contemplating expenditures of money , it
becomes apparent that the present session of
congress will bo very short.unless tbo majority
In the house- chooses to waste the tlmo of the
people In useless and aimless political discus
sion rather than real work. At present the
outlook is favorable to another.campaign on
the part of the democrats with nothing In
vlow but promises und complaints. A party
that docs absolutely nothing but complain at
tli0 = 0 who do accomplish something nnd
tries bv blockading to stop thojo who would
accomplish something can conduct nothlnc
b.it a defensive campaign.
It was believed that when David B. Hill
came hero that the proposed plnn of choosing
the presidential electors ot Now Yoric by the
legislature of that state would make demo
cratic success easy , providing they could
hold their own In the south and west ; but
now that that politician 1ms said it will not
do to overthrow poputur policy und tradition
it : that wav till r/lans of legislation bv the
democrats have been upset , and the outlook
for that party is indeed gloomy.
DlnlioiihliiK I'olttlral I'at roiuiKr * .
It is u pity that everyone who seeks an ap
pointment at the hands of the president for
himself or n friend cannot see both sides of
the question. If ho could less blame would
attach to the appointing cower. The fact
that olllcial patronage Is the immtost misfor
tune that can politically befall un ofllco dis
penser has never been so palpably apparent
as during the present and last administra
tions. This is probably duo to the fact that
tbo civil service law is just getting n linn
foothold , and those who have boon tryliiu to
moat consistently assist the now law to be
come popular have had to stand the burden
of the seen ami unseen work In this connoc
tlon. Not half of the circumstances which
move the president to nmlto nn appointment
or refuse the appointment of tboso who are
strongly recommended ever become under
stood by thosn most directly intorostou.
Probablv the hardest part of appointment
troubles with the president grows out of the
fact that ho is compelled by custom nnd for
policy to remain silent ut the end of a llorco
contest for olllco nnd make no explanations.
In every other position the appointment can
bo explained ; this nnd that ono can have the
status of tbo contest at the close and know
something of the reasons which led to the
preferment of the .successful man ; but If thu
appointment itself does not curry sufficient
vindication the power which made it must
carry the odium in silence.
( y'liutlon IH NiM'i'Hsury.
Reflections against character are magni
fied ns they travel ; motives are magnified
lor personal Interests ; revenge Is keener and
swifter than gratitude. It thnrnforo bo-
beeves the appointing power to bo not only
cautious 'in what ho does , but In the words
of explanation ho utters , lie has oven more
disadvantage tbnn the court or jury ? Ho
cannot defend his own action , either pub
Hcly or privately.
It Is not any moro natural for an aspirant
to judge of his own qualifications than it Is
for him to weigh the requirements of the
ofllca ho BCO S. Naturally ho thinks ho is
thu Ideal for the place. The president must
draw the linn of wisdom , reach the conclu
sion ns to thu demands of the place and the
fitness of thu applicant. It U a serious Insult
to toll an aspirant that he is not fitted for
the place he seeks , unless the thing can bo
Hutu In conerul language. If tbo position
requires n lawyer or physician nnd the appli
cant Is not , ho may be told HO ; but If his
tomnoramunt , age , si/.o , education or what
not Is not right and he l.s so told , he Is mor
tally offended. The applicant or his en
dorsers seldom know what comes to the
president or cabinet officer in this direction ;
ho cannot always know thai n disqualifying
point has boon raised , although ho may in
some Instances. The graceful man always
withdraws his application under such cir
cumstances , Generally ho conceals the fact
from his endorsers.
