THE OMAHA DAILY BEE&JMNDAY , AUGUST 8 , 1892. ,5 Progress mid Pcsribilitioi of Irrigation De velopment in the West , A RMST ( ON THE WARREN BILL A isliort Clinptor on Itlnclc llllli Tin Another Itnco for I.iiinl Sluux I'ullt .Hunlclpiil Siiloon Summitry of Northwest Ttio adjournment ot congress place ? Irrlga tlon measures on the shelf tilt next Decem ber. . It It exceedingly doubtful If nny action \vlll bo had during the cdmlng short session on the mam proposition tlio transfer of the arid rattlon to thu roipoctlve states and territories. No legislation Is bettor than bid legislation. A moasura of such vast Im portance. Involving tbo future welfare of the ( -real arid west , demands careful discussion. A .year and a half may bo prolltaoly employed by the friends of the 'movement In r proadln ? tbo light among the unenlightened and In devising measures which , If enacted , wilt tiolvc ihc problem In a ( manner bonoflcinl to the masse * of pcoplu Interested. Senator Warren's bill , proposing the trans fer of the arid lands by the general government to the states nnd terri tories , wat drawn on the Hues hi Id down by the bait Lake convention. A like convention In "Montana , Influenced by Senator Thomas Power , pronounced against the principles of the Wan en bill. Various correspond ents ot Tin : lir.i : have nt , different times pointed out sanoua detects In the mcasuro and charged that , If unacted , it would create a monopoly , thu ofloct of which would re dlnnstrous to settlers on tbo arid region. The Rocky Mountain Ncnv * , a Btnnch advocate of Irrigation tnothods , re ferring to Senator Wnrrcn's recent speech In the senate , declared the measure requires radical reconstruction. H inserts tli.it the 'bill Involves tbu hucon land grab In the history of the nation , without hope of a vestige of the public compensation that fol lowed tbo Immense railroad grants. Tbo latter opened tbu way to the settlement of the far west , built towns and cities over an area great enough lor an empire , and promoted meted production on n scale that regulates the martinis of this ' otihtry nnd England , Warren's bill .seeks to ulvldu the built ot the remaining unoccupied territory of the United States among u combination of land monopolies In Its present shape thu paiaago of the bill would bo a public calamity. Too much monopoly constitutes the peril of our tlmo. Legislation should taUo anothqr tack. "Whllo this swindling bill provides as a cloak to Its real purpose that such lands ns ( hall bo reclaimed that Is supplied with water for agricultural use shall bo sold only to actual settlers under the homestead law , the design of the combination for which Son- ntor Warren Is acting is disclosed In section It of the bill , which authorises the states and territories respectively to mortgage or sell tbo granted lands , or any portions thereof , In order to raise thu necessary funds for repla ntation. That section opens the way to cor porate greed for the ubiorption nf Immense tracts of land , the acreage of which will airgiocato hundred ; of millions. It was pub licly stated at Minneapolis , In connection with a proposition commending Senator Warren's bill that sixteen , wealthy corpora tions were ready , upon its passage , to com mence operations in the region possossinir tbeso luntlH. The boncllts that would accrue to the pcop.u from the * muaturo would bo loss than nothing when compared with tno era of legislative ! corruption and wholesale land tcallng that would follow. "Tbo News will hull any honest project for conserving Irrigation by utilizing the waste waters of the mountain streams not moro than an eighth of the volume of which Is now applied to agricultural purposes. But Warren's bill needs ironbound safeguards against land grabbing Defo'ro it should become como a law. Thus eliminated , its promoters would lose all interest In its passage. " Futiiro. The matter of tbo transfer of the lands is not of such pressing Importance as legislation that will prevent walor monopolies under existing conditions. The great arid empire is controlled by the general government. All streams penetrating the country bnvo tholr source In tbo mountains. The attribution of the water Is properly within the purview of national legislation. To secure the greater L'ooil for the greater number , legislation should bo had preventing thu rapidly multi plying ditch companies from monopolizing the head waters. Realizing the profits to accrue from Irrigating ditches , capitalists are making heavy Investments , securing valuable rights which in the near future mny , unless checked , provo Injurious to the settlement nnd development of the country. "Tho possibilities of Irrigation in this country , " writes \VasbIngton correspond ent of the St. Louis Glouo-Domocrat , re viewing the statistics collected by the census ofllco , "aro beyond guessing ; . The proba bilities nro almost beyond credence. The actual accomplishments to date are cause of astonishment to Jhoao whose duties have made them investigators. Two years ago the census office gathered statistics of Irriga tion. There Is an outcry now against the correctness ol tbo figures. Doubtless the Information then collected is out of data. It is only valuable for comparison with the Immediate present , nnd to show what strides Irrigation development has shown In twlco twelve months. Ttio Irrigation Inquiry ot the department of agriculture brings the In vestigation and returns down to date , and u wonderful revolution is made. "This revolution In conditions forces upon the government now land problems. The law which give * each settler llil ) acres and no moro does not work well in tno development of great Irrigation systems. Tbo government has been running n hard race for n couple nf yours with the speculators to keep the latter from gobbling up all of tbo best reservoir sites. It is n question now which sldo has so far had the best of tbo contest. Reservoir sites uro none too numerous. A good slto commands the nrlu land lying below Its level to the extent of Its water supply. That land Is worthless without tbo reservoir's contents and valuable with the water. How shall that land bo disposed of f There Is another feature which lias ted to a species ot blackmailing , Tno smart plainsman seeing an Irrigation company ucglu to lay out canals nnd laterals to utilize , a river or n lake on o largo scale slips up , files unoa ICO acres of the most valuable land and demands that the water company ihull buy out his right at his price. This has bceu practiced to such.o degree In the itato of Washington that capital has boon chocked In some of its plans for irrigation works. The stnlos ot thu arid region , quick to feel the chungo of conditions , have within the past two or tlirco. years added moro or less elaborate Irrigation laws to their stat utes. The general government , moving moro deliberately , has been overtaken by these V'rowing problems. Am ) now tbo question Is , ivhut shall bo done with the r > 5S,14l74 ! ] acres > f publlo lands In tbo arid region i A com mittee of the house hus split upon tbo policy. The majority has reported a bill In favor of turning tliU vast uml.v of land over to ttio itutos and territories within which It lies. I'lns would transfer tbo problem to local lolutlon. It would imilio tnoso states and territorial rich for nil lima to coma , if the rift was rightly bundled , But they would Do open to all the aangors attendant on dis * position of such a magnificent Inheritance. L'boquestion Is still an open one. " Till' CllUlllll Itl'KlTVIlllOII. The Colvllloludhn reservation in eastern Washington , toward which land huntoru are DOW directing tholr stops , Is the greatest reservation thrown opou to settlement on ( ho Pacific ooa t for many yoan. It com * prises 1,500,000 iioros. rich in agricultural , mineral , grating ncd timber resources. Thousands of people hnvo boon looking for ward to its opening with great Interest. A mere handful of Indiani , under the loador- thlp of Chief Moses and Chief Joseph , not to exceed dou In all , have bean holding this fifrom hOHIomunt for many years. This U not all of the Collllo reservation. There nro In the whole of U U.bO'J.OOU ucroi , so that the amount to bo thrown open is only u little moro than Imlf. The O'JO Indians huvo beet , boldlnif not only the 1,500,000 aero , but all tbo rc&t of U for these yean. The reservation It bounded on the north by DritUh Columbia ( that Is , the mainland ) , on tbo east nnd boutli by the Columbia rlvor mid on the ivcst by the Okauogan. Tlio part to bo thrown open vtretuhes for thirty-eight tulles south of tbo boundary , Much of U is - plateau aud uuurly Uat prairie laud It Is covered with luxuriant grass and well watered. A few Industrious Indians have l > eon raising whdat , oats , barley nnd vege tables on little farms there , enough to dem onstrate the richness ot the land , but In all the eighteen reservations ot the state of Washington , comprising 7,120,59.1 acres , per haps not 30,000 acres are farmed by them. A Municipal .Mnloon. Several progressive preachers down east have evolved schemes daslgnna to paralyr.o the saloons. One urged the opening of billiard brills In the baiomonts ot churches , coupled with a supply of tompornnco drinks minus winks. Another advocated a plan whereby the nttractlvonois of the saloons might bo transferred to tbo churches , but this suggestion died n-bornlug , because none of the brntbron could determine whotbor the decorations , the outer pictures or the liquids were the magnet. A third struck a new lead. Ho Insisted that the Indian method w Just the thing. Poor Lo's tender soot was his stomach. Make him heap full" and ho Is tractaclo. Tbo palo face Is tender in the same lino. Therefore the true remedy was to open gorgeous free lunch houses , and thus chock the race to perdition. H hikes the progressive west to originate nnd axoculo. A blooming genius In Sioux Falls , K. U. , shocked oy the evils of prohibi tion , suggested n municipal saloon. The au thorities gravely considered it. They saw tbo Joint , the drug store and tbo spoalcoasy wax fat nnd arrogant , whllo youth ami adult writhed , bloar-oycd , In the throes of forty- rod.

Tbo city fathers , raallz'.ug that somcthlng.must'bo done to rescue the people nnd relieve a vacuuum tu the city treasury , bnvo decided to Inaugurate a municipal sa loon.

The collapse of virlous real ostalo booms In California has bad n disastrous effect on real ostalo values in San Francisco. At a recent mooting of the Heal Estuto exchange a prominent member declared that the as sessed valuation of Pity propnrty was Ik ) to 40 per cent too high. Ills assertions were denied by others. The discussion developed the fact thao thcro wera 8,000 empty houses m San Francisco , and rents were at the lowest point. The development of the loan nnd homestead associations recently has ooen very great nnd every house built In this way for a nome leaves n vacant dwelling for rent. Ono cause of the depression In San Francisco and throughout the state that Is generally ignored is the drain of treasure by thu Chi nese. The Chinese of all classes send their savings to the Flowery Kingdom instead of spending them In this country. Tbo census gavn 71,000 Chinese in the stuto ton years ago. Tholr earnings amount to not loss than ifJO.OOO.OOO ycarlv of which throo-quartors Is sent homo to China. For the thirty years that this has been going on wo thus have the enormous sum of $150,000.000 deported. This hugo amount put Into prouuctivo Industries would have made the state twice as wealthy and populous us It is today. Illuck llllli Tin.

Train robbery nnd highway bandits hnvo boon themes of general discussion in St Louis for the past day or twosays the Globe-Democrat. The bold hold-up ol a Missouri , Kansas & Texas passen ger train in the Indian Territory Thurs day night hus occasioned renewal of a subject which a few yours ago would not have attracted much attention in the west on account of the frequency of-tho occurrence , but since the breaking up of the James , the Younger and other desperate - porato gangs that Infested Missouri and Kansas western people have felt comparatively secure from depredations of this character. Throe or four years ago Texas was the favorite arena for the exploits of the freebooters , but the constabulary of the state became go vigilant and merci less in the pursuit nnd punishment of the scoundrels that they have all apparently boon killed or driven out of Texas , as no train robbery has occurred there recently. Tno , ' Indian Territory scorns to bo now "tlio only rendezvous loft to the gentlo'mtm of the mask and Winchester , andjwfion the conditions there uro considered it is no little wonder that , outlawry of this nature is not even moro nimpant'tlian it really is. The Daltons"- * who robbed the Pacific Express cnri of the Missouri , Kansas & ToxnffJsit Adair Thursday night , niro by nltr oddso the boldest and most , audacious bandits who have over plied their calling in the Territory. There 'riro four of the Dalton brothers who are known to have committed train robberies in the past. Only two of them Ed and Charley wore in Thursday night's hold-ui ) . The other two boys a year ago wore captured in California after desperate resistance and convicted of robbing a Wolls-Fargo Express car on the Southern Pacific r.illroid nt Ton- laro , near Los Anpolos. They were sentenced to llfo in the California peni tentiary and nro now serving their terms. All four of the boys were In the California robbery , but Ed and Charley eluded capture and made their way back to the Indian Territory. . They had been driven oat of the Territory only after u bloody war between themselves and tholr sympathizers on the ono hand And the olllcora and , cattlemen on the other. This war was inaugurated three years ago and cost the llfo of many a good oltl/un and deputy United States marshal. It will bo remembered that the posses in pursuit of the bandits were led by Donuty Marshal "Hoc" Thomiw , ono of the most Intrepid ollloors win has over had to deal with the lawless elements of the southwest. Various times ho was reported killed , but lie always managed to show up , smiling , about the time his friends had ordered erapo. Ho pursued the Daltons farther into tholr rendez vous than had anybody before or since , lie succeeded In penetrating far Into the bushwhaokor country , right among the friends of the Dnllons , and cntno out unscratched , though ompty- handed. Prior to thls.timo the Daltons were not known to have committed nny train robberies. They had conllnod their rascality to stealing cattle and driving them through the "public lands" into Now Mexico and soiling thorn along the route. Than when they got ready to return to the Territory they would steal a bunch of cattle In Now Mexico nnd bring them homo to sell , always returning by a dilToront route. It did no good to indict them. Tholr friends dominated the loc , l courts , and even If they were ever brought to trial they got off acot free. Honest cattlemen of tlio territory flnolly grow so exasper ated nt their thievery that they or ganized to rid the country of the Daltons and waged bitter war upon thorn. It was then that the cattle thieves per force quit their old practices nnd turned their attention to train robbory. It is ever so much easier nnyhow to rob a train than to steal a few head of cattlo. So they found their now busi ness incomparably safer and more re munerative. Situated as the Daltons woro. the business was especially at tractive to thorn. The Missouri , Kansas & Texas and the Santa Po railroads ran right through the country ever which they had ranged ever since emigrating from Arkansas when only mere strip lings of boys. They know every Indian trail and deer path in it. Not a man or woman unfriendly to them had boon ' allowed to live 'in the section they claimed for their own , and HO every cir cumstance was most propitious to them in their now calling. They lived for the most part on a bald prairie east of the "Kuty" road in an uninhabited country between Pryor Crook and Cliou- toau , stations on the railroad. Adair , the scene of tholr latest depre dation , is only twenty or thirtj miles to the north of them and 'Loliuoltn , where tliov hold up a train last September and secured $1OUO In booty from the Pacific Express company , is but n few miles south of thorn. A little southwest of these two stations begins what is known as. the Cowota district. It is heavily timbered and abounds in deep ravines and serpentine paths. They know every foot of it bettor than the oldest inhab itant knows St Louis , but if a stranger enters it without a guide ho is liable to got lost after n , few hours' travel nnd never got out again. Through the Cowota district they dash into the Pox " and Sac country , "nnd then leisurely mnko their way down to the Canadian river and cross to the Semtnolo reserva tion , until they feel like venturing back to their prairie homo. Since their hold ups at both Hod Kock on the Santa Fe and Lolinotta on the "Katy , " they have been bold enough to ride into Woagnor with their wagons and teams and buy supplies for their ranch. Hun dreds of people at Wagoner know per fectly who they were , but none of them dared " " the for if "poach" on boys , they 2SQZS.FOR25 ? ABSOLUTELY PURE - JusrTRYlT. F.F.JAQ.UE.S R. CO.
