Considerable fooling Is manifested
throughout the woit regarding the recent
advance of the Union Pacillo tariff on coal.

do not uiinco words , but vlRorously con

which there is no excuse or Justification ,
Tbo Hock Springs Independent charges the
company with n palpable violation or the
Interstate commerce law , and roads the riot

tnakos iho freight charges on coal between
Hock Springs and points on Iho Montana

the mines , U.2T , making a total charge to
the consumer of SO.CO per ton. The old
tariff also made the total chnrpo { 0.50 per
ton , but it was divided into $1.75 for tbo
coal , nnd $1.75 freight charges. The prlco
Of coal to nil other points rctn.ilus at $1.75.
"Tho effect of the now tariff , " says the In
dependent , "Is that It knocki the private

Sovonty-flvo per cent of the coal for this

In nn exhaustive letter to the press Major
Powell , who for twenty years has had charge
of government surveys In the west , contends
that tno proposed cession of arid lands to the
respective states nnd territories , on the plan
outlined In Senator Warren's bill , will not
solve the Irrigation problem. His long ox-
poricnco and knowledge of the Irrigation re
gion and the years ot study given the ques
tion of irrigation , lends Major Powell's opin
ion greater weight ttmn that of any unpro-
fessldhnl man in the west. Ho points out
that "In the arid regions of the United States ,
as In alt arid regions of the world w hero nr-
tillclol irrigation Is used , there is always
much moro land than water ; that Is the
water is Insuniclent to seivo nil the land.
The limit , of irrigation , therefore , is m the
water supply , not In the acres ; consequently ,
agricultural values of the arid region inhere
chiefly in the water , and only to a slight ex
tent In the land. Land with water rights Is
a property ot much value ; land without
water rights Is a property of small value.
For this reason it is nocosshry that faimord ,
while acqulrlnc titles to lauds , should also
acquire the right-to the waters necessary to
servo tha lauds , and this condition is funda
mental to prosperity. It is thus important
for all farmers and gardeners in the arid re
gion to consider the questions : What water
rights do I own ? How ara they dotinedi and
by what agency can I protect thorn I"
His plan ot solving the great problem is
tbuso tersely outlined :
1. The whole subject should bo turned over
to tno pcoplo , to bo controlled by local self
government ,
3. There are about ISO natural districts ,
cacn one containing a body of timber lands ,
n body of pasturage lands , u body of Irrigable -
blo lands and a source of water supply. Each
of these districts should have an independent
organization and make its own laws to gov
ern all these values. The districts can bo
easily dctincd by natural boundaries.
3. Each district should organize by electing
Its own olllcers and establishing Its own
court , with general supervision by state of
ficers and the right to appeal to .1 state court.
4 , These districts should hava the right
to select und designate the lauds to bo irri
gated In such a manner as to rconomizo the
water to the greatest advantage ; but tno
right of present farmers and landholders
should bo primarily and permanently se
cured.
C. In such districts the pcoplo should
nialti ! their own laws governing tbo distri
bution ot water and regulating its use so as
to avoid waste.
0. Where it Is possiblo.tho farmers should
construct their own irrigation woras. so as
i bo independent of water companies.
7 , When it Is necessary to employ water
companies as it may bo when largo streams
nro to bo controlled or great reservoirs con-
otructcd , such companies should bo author
ized to suiro nnd carry water , but not bo the
owners of water. The farmers should not
buy water or water rights of the companies ,
but only contract for the delivery of water.
The companies should bo carriers , not
owners.
8. The companies should have no right to
decide to whom the water shall bo deliv
ered. Such tights should bo la the bauds ot
the farmers. But , on tbo other hand , the
companies should bavo the right to collect
proper charges for delivering water , as nor
contract. When In stress of dry seasons an
Insufficient amount of water is procurable ,
bow this water shall bo distributed should
bo controlled by the oDicers elected by the
pcoplo , and not by the company.
0. The people of each district should have
control of thu forests of the district , in order
that they may properly use thn timber In
their industries , properly protect It from
flro and waste , say how tbo timber shall be
cut in order beat to protect the water sup
ply.
10. The pcoplo in each district should have
the right to control the pasturage lands , and
euch lands should bo hold by the people In
common as pasturage lands ana bo used
only to such an extent us not to injure the
flow ol waters to tbo Irrigable lands. The
control of the pasturage lands In the interest
ol irrigation is far more Important than their
control in tbo interest of stock raising.
In a letter to the Cnoyonno Loader Mr. E.
* _ , N. Morgan of that city points out iho
* P ! defects of the Warren bill. Ho says ,
first that to secure title to the 15,000,000
i ncres of land within that state the people of
Wyoming must within ten years provide the
urn of ? 1.10,000,000 , , or Just S',500 for each
man , woman and child nf her (50,000 popula
tion , Doing $250 per capita for each year of
tba ten. This money cannot DO secured on
the credit of the state , for tbo constitution of
Wyoming limits state Indebtedness.
The writer next shows the futility of the
section ol the act which allows the arid
lands to bo mortgaged to ralso funds for
reclamation purposes by unking how much
money could bo raised on mortgage of
land to which the mortgagor has no title and
to which title could bo obtained only after
the expenditure of 1150,000,000. The interest ,
syi Mr. Morgan , supposing the loan to bo
negotiated at 5 per cent , would bo $700,000
o year , which the peoplu of Wyoming would
bavo to pay.
Another objection which tha writer points
out is In the section of the liuv which per.
mlu all lauds not su eject to reclamation and.
useful for pastoral purposes only to bo ap
portioned or loosed to actual lottlers in
tracts not exceeding the lands lying con.
tiguous or adjacent to any such settlor's law.
ful claim or entry of land. This means that
Iho person or syndicate who at the time ot
the passage of the act bad entered 100,000
acres of laud could acquire lu addition as
much more under such stipulations or at
ucb prices as the IcgUluturo might pro
scribe.

company during the present year. Last year
the company , composed of Chicpgo , Cincin

and at an expense of $50,000 constructed a
dam forty feet wide and over 700 feet long

"Do you enjoy visiting school * 1" was asked
two visiting teachers recently. "Yes and
no , " replied the first. "I cannot spend a day
so profitably. 1 gain so many points and it's
such a satisfaction and help to compare your
own work with another's , but it's very un
comfortable to feel , however politely you ate
treated , that the space you occupy co'uld bo
used to such a good advantage. " Tno second
visitor said : "J think what I like host about
the visiting is that it is abeut as near as I
can over coma to walking In unaware upon
myself in my own school room. When I
hoar a teacher talking in a strninoo , unnat
ural key I say , 'Do 1 do so. ' When I see her
growing nervous and , perhapj for that very
reason , her movements are awkward and un
graceful , I put a question homo. When I
find n woman who can hi really a lady while
she governs well , I take notes. Today I saw
a teacher whoso power seemed to mo pos
sibly , to bo aided by her charmlnK personal
aopcaranco , ana I said I shall wear my 'other'
dross to school tomorrow.
'You see , " she went on , her brown eyes
growing wide nnd dark , "if wo should place
n bad picture before these little people's eyes
and keep it there for 5 or 0 hours a day
tor a whole year , wo would expect a serious
result , but hero wo nro an ever chancing pic
ture , and farther with voice and personality.
If a boy does not lo.irt long division today no
may learn it tomorrow or next year , and the
result not bo serious , but if ho becomes , sees
and acquires awkward movements , discord
