Speeches were made by Senators Clapp and Representative Stevens, Minnesota, who came down with a load of Minnesota delegates, in which these statesmen renewed their plea.

Any large farm emigration to that region on any other basis must sooner later act as a destructive boomerang. Speeches were made by Senators Clapp and Representative Stevens, Minnesota, who came down with a load of Minnesota delegates, in which these statesmen renewed their plea to support the national irrigation movement, and by Mr. George H. Maxwhey the executive chairman of The National Irrigation Association, who planned for a recognition of the national irrigation idea as a great national movement not confined to any state or territory and who further urged that the people of the state should take the initiative and proceed to develop irrigation enterprises themselves as far as possible thereby learning, as only experience can teach, the great worth of irrigation lands. Senators Hansbrough and McCumby of the state also spoke at length. The former Senator suggested the old plan of the utilization of the waters of Missouri by the building of a surplus dam, comparable to the great New York dam, which cost 20 million dollars. He said this was a feasible proposition and that Congress was undoubtedly able to entertain such an appropriation and that he intended to introduce a bill next winter, to provide for a survey and investigation of the scheme. The government engineers state that the surveys of the army engineers, Missouri River Commission, and others, show such a proposition to be feasible, but the Senator believes that further surveys should be made. HOSTILITY TO GOVERNMENT RECORDS MATION SERVICE. Senator McCumber attacked the Reclamation Service as an organization which was not disposed to try to fin feasible project in North Dakota, insisted that the large contribution the irrigation fund, growing from sales of public lands in North Dakota should be spent solely within the state and that the newspaper statements tributed to the chief engineer of the Reclamation Service to the effect that there was small hope of finding a large feasible canal project in the state showed that the Reclamation Service was prejudiced in favor of other situations in the arid West. The senator's attitude toward government irrigation service is never calculated to help the state of North Dakota in securing the expenditure. Uncle Sam's money within its borders nor to stimulate the Reclamation Service to increase its activities in finding feasible projects for such expenditure unless the senator's attitude is recognized as one not representing the sense of the people of the state who deserves its irrigation development.

GREAT INTEREST IN IRRIGATION S OF GOVERNMENT FOR RECLAMATION OF ARID REGION Poissances and Detailed Surveys of Various Prospects In The Dakotas Real Correspondence of the GAZETTEI second session of the North Dakota irrigation Congress at Mandan which made a strenuous effort to an irrigation spirit in the state, overcome the objection which any residents have to any agitation in the irrigation question, based on foolish predication that the was no arid lands and that anyement of Dakota irrigation poses that dry farming is a pre-occupation, and that emigra- the state will therefore be disd. It is little use in attempting to see the fact that the western por-north Dakota is to all intents proposes arid and that farming can be profitably and surely con-only by the aid of irrigation. Large farm emigration to that sec-any other basis must sooner or not as a destructive boomerang. These were made by Senator and Representative Stevens, of Iowa, who came down with a car-Minnesota delegates, in which statesmen renewed their pledges objects must be selected which will, beyond question, prove successful, not only from an engineering standpoint but from one of colonization as well, where the land when irrigated will be settled upon and the cost of its reclamation paid back in full to the government. As a matter of fact, but little interest has been manifested by North Dakota in the irrigation question up to the present time, and none whatever prior to the holding of the Bismarck State Irrigation Congress, a year ago. No call was made upon the government by the congressional delegation, immediately after the passage of the act, when all other western states were clamoring for recognition, insisting upon a survey or investigation of the irrigation resources of the state, no state-wide movement for such works was agitated by Senator McCumber or others, and it is not to be expected that the same progress should be found today as has occurred in other western states where large local and state appropriations had been made for preliminary surveys and co-operation with the Geological Survey, and for local organizations even prior to the passage of the National Irrigation Act, two and a half years ago. THE FLICKERTAILS NEED EDUCATION First of all, the people of North Dakota must be awakened to a thorough realization of the benefits of irrigation, and must evince such an interest in and desire for the reclamation of their lands as will insure the government of the fact that when it has found and constructed an irrigation work, the people will be willing to take the land and pay back the cost. The fact that in the very part of the state which it is believed can be best irrigated, several so-called wet weather crops in succession can be raised without irrigation, and that when immigrants come into the country the people keep rather quiet about the dry and lean years. DON’T FAIL TO VOTE And Work for the Success Your Favorite in This Prize Contest During the past week the contestants have taken a decidedly active part in the race, more so than at any other time since the contest was inaugurated. Not only are the contestants taking a lively interest, but their friends as well seem to be equally interested in the matter. From now on it will be noticed by those who are keeping in touch with the contest that much friendly rivalry prevails among the contestants for the first position in the list of names. Miss Nona McWilliams heads the list this week. Having made a record-breaking gain of 4425 votes over her vote of the preceding week, which is the greatest gain made by any contestant since theof votes will be cast before the is concluded. For the past two weeks votes contestants have been running close, a difference of only a few dreded votes separating the various testants. The vote will double tinue close and exciting until t Subscribers renewing their s-tion and paying in advance are to the same number of votes subscribers. Any one who has job printing signs a contract for job printing done in future is entitled to an amount in votes, which may be their particular favorite. Vo likewise allowed on new advertised in this paper to the full The state will therefore be disbanded. There is little use in attempting to prove the fact that the western port of North Dakota is to all intents proposes arid and that farming can be profitably and surely conducive by the aid of irrigation. Large farm emigration to that section any other basis must sooner or later as a destructive boomerang. Hoses were made by Senator Randolph Representative Stevens, of Nebraska, who came down with a car from Minnesota delegates, in which statesmen renewed their pledges to the national irrigation movement by Mr. George H. Maxwell, executive chairman of The Nation-organization Association, who plead recognition of the national irrigation as a great national movement, defined to any state or territory, no further urged that the people state should take the initiative proceed to develop irrigation enclosures themselves as far as possible, by learning, as only experience such, the great worth of irrigated crops Hansbrough and McCumber state also spoke at length. The Senator suggested the old plan utilization of the waters of the river by the building of a supersummary comparable to the great Nile which cost 20 million dollars. He was a feasible proposition. At Congress was undoubtedly in order to entertain such an appropriation that he intended to introduce next winter; to provide for a surreal investigation of the scheme. Government engineers state that ways of the army engineers, the Rail River Commission, and others such a proposition to be not met, but the Senator believes that surveys should be made. ITY TO GOVERNMENT RECLAMATION SERVICE. For McCumber attacked the Reclamation Service as an organization was not disposed to try to find a project in North Dakota, and that the large contribution to irrigation fund, growing from the public lands in North Dakota, be spent solely within the state, the newspaper statements attest to the chief engineer of the station Service to the effect that was small hope of finding any feasible canal project in the state that the Reclamation Service judicious in favor of other sections of the arid West. Senator's attitude toward the ment irrigation service is neithaltated to help the state of North in securing the expenditure of Sam's money within its borders. stimulate the Reclamation Service increase its activities in finding projects for such expenditures, the senator's attitude is recognized one not representing the sense people of the state who desire irrigation development. ATCHED BY ITS ENEMIES. Both Congressman Stevens and Senator Hansbrough and McCumber state also spoke at length. The great water supply of the Missouri and its tributaries, which flow through North Dakota, is an inestimable resource of a state blanketed with a deep and inky loam, but North Dakota has yet much to learn of practical irrigation before her farmers will realize this worth, or can expect to stand on a par, so far as irrigation is concerned, with other western states where irrigation has been carried on for years and decades. A STATE IRRIGATION PROPAGANDA. The plan for the state to proceed upon is to awaken a great public sentiment, to invite the co-operation of every newspaper in the state to educate the people as to how much an irrigated acre is worth, how much it will produce, and that water is an absolute crop insurance. If her citizens and her press will enter the irrigation campaign, devise, plan and work to make irrigation the most popular movement of the day, then irrigation will come. It is well worth the effort. In the meantime, the Reclamation Service, far from being hostile to the expenditure of the irrigation fund in the state, is making reconnaissance and detailed surveys of various projects. The government engineers believe that pumping the Missouri water, through the use of the vast cheap lignite coal beds, even upon the higher benches—150 and 200 feet high—through enormous pumping plants, is entirely feasible and not very expensive. It is simply a question of education. Do the farmers realize how much they can afford to pay for water? Net only are the contestants taking a lively interest, but their friends as well seem to be equally interested in the matter. From now on it will be noticed by those who are keeping in touch with the contest that much friendly rivalry prevails among the contestants for the first position in the list of names. Miss Nona McWilliams heads the list this week. Having made a record-breaking gain of 4425 votes over her vote of the preceding week, which is the greatest gain made by any contestant since the contest opened. Miss Belle Lyons is second this week. Miss Lyons having a gain this week of 3135 votes over her last week's votes. Both Miss Lyons and Miss McWilliams are very popular and are evidently receiving the hearty support of their many friends. Miss Mabela Gale of Yorba, received a vote of 1050 this week, which is the third greatest gain made. The contestants and their friends are evidently taking advantage of the Gazette's liberal offer of a number of valuable prizes absolutely free. It only requires a little effort on the part of the contestants to secure these prizes and any one of them are well worth a strenuous effort. There will be much work to be done by the contestants, as the field has only been partially covered and thousands. Fire Insurance Comes High The report of the state insurance commissioner for 1903, recently issued, shows that during the last twenty years the people of California have paid $119,500,000 for fire insurance, receiving back $53,000,000 on account of losses. Thus, in twenty years, the state has paid fire insurance companies over and above moneys returned on account of losses, $66,500,000. Such an amount can scarcely be realized, even in terms of state products. For example, it would take the entire fresh deciduous fruit shipments from California for six and a half years to make the $60,500,000, that in twenty years has gone to fire insurance companies from this state in excess of losses returned. It would take the entire output of California dalrirs for three years to make up the amount; the output of raisin vineyards for fifteen years; about the same for the prune crop; the gold output for five years, and so on. According to assessors' returns, the moneys and solvent credits in California when assessments were made last spring totaled $42,908,248, which is $23,593,752 short of the $66,500,000 which fire insurance companies have cleared up in this state in two decades. Last year the premiums paid on account of fire insurance in California amounted to $8,288,354.90; the companies paid back on account of losses $4,-342,785.60, which left the companies $3,045,460.30 above what they were called upon to pay back on account of losses. In this connection it is interesting to note that the entire funded dredges votes separating the various testants.

At the present moment we have in circulation in this country of money of all kinds about 2600 million dollars. The paper and silver currency rests upon and obtains its value and effectiveness from the store of gold that we possess. The gold in the National Treasury and in circulation in September, 1904, was 841 million dollars. Thus there was about one dollar of gold for every three dollars of general currency. But the gold has another burden to carry and to impart value to—bank credit. The precise figures representing this bank credit are not available, but beyond question they amount upward far into thousands of millions of dollars. To retain in the country the stock of gold is, therefore, manifestly a matter of the first importance. No well informed man needs to be told that if the mental should go abroad in large quantities the American people would encounter financial distress and industrial prostration. If past experience has any lesson for this nation, it is that the one thing that will send gold away in great sums is large reductions of the duties upon imports—in other words, the kind of tariff reformation to which the Democratic party is solemnly pledged. What is the experience referred to? In 1846 and in 1857 this same Democratic party, in control of national legislation, put into operation tariffs...

ALNUT SHIPPING SEASON AT ITS HEIGHT Headquarters at West End Depot Busy Scene—Three Hundred Cars in County Walnut headquarters at the West End depot present a busy scene nowadays, shipment of nuts being at its right. Five cars have been shipped last this week, and shipments will continue until the middle of November, by which time it is hoped to have the entire yield on its way to market. The local packing house has installed a gasoline engine for operating the grader, and under the able supervision of G. A. Hunter more nuts are being handled daily than ever before. Quality is excellent, but from all porions of the county come reports of a night crop. While some orchards are producing more than average crops, farmers in other sections report a fall off of half. The total output of Orange county will fall below 300 ten ton carloads other than go above it. Estimates of the total yield go as high as 850 cars, but this is probably high. Mr. Neff, president of the local walnut-growers' association, says he is turning down orders almost daily, not trying to sell the association "short." The bulk of the crop in Southern California is already sold, and prices are firm with upward tendency. The local vote separating the various constituents.

Bauer, Westminster...3375 Ass Lulu Goble...2900 Ass Pauline Nemetz...2550 Ass Mabela Gale, Yorba...1350 Ass Amelia Backs...1225 What is the experience referred to? In 1846 and in 1857 this same Democratic party, in control of national legislation, put into operation tariffs which went as far as the party dared to go in the direction of outright free trade. The first of these tariffs was enacted almost simultaneously with the discovery of gold in California—the gold that was needed more than any one thing to promote and expand the industrial forces of a nation that had never possessed anything like a sufficient quantity of real money. If the protective system as the nation knows it now had been at that time in existence, there can be no doubt that all, or nearly all, the gold unearthed in California would have remained here to benefit our own people. But with our ports wide open to European manufactures, the country was flooded with European goods, which we might have made at home, and practically the entire mass of California gold was hurried across the Atlantic to pay for them. In the meantime, the American people, instead of employing gold for currency, as they might have done, were compelled to use rag money of such filthiness and variability of value as men of the present generation can hardly understand. In the meantime, also, the revenues of the federal government, deprived of customs duties in sufficient measure, fell so far below the necessary expenditures that the Treasury was obliged to borrow money, for which (so low had the national credit fallen) it was obliged to pay 12 percent. The inevitable result of all this blundering and folly was that in 1857, with the Democrats still in power, the nation was involved in one of the worst panics recorded in its history—a panic in which private business and public credit were shaken to their foundations. In a different degree, but in precisely the same manner, the same thing happened during Grover Cleveland's second administration. In 1892, the year before he came into office, our total exports were 1016 million dollars. In 1895, two years afterward, with the Wilson tariff in operation, the exports fell to 793 million dollars. Thus, we sold less material to foreigners, and for what we bought we must pay more gold, instead of paying in produce. Gold began again to flow to Europe in a great stream. In 1895, for the first time in many years, the expenses of the government again exceeded the income; the public debt was increased from 585 millions in 1902 to 847 millions in 1896, and before Mr. Cleveland had been in office two years there was a panic and prostration of industry precisely like that which brought misery and ruin to the nation in 1857.

In 1895, for the first time in many years, the expenses of the government again exceeded the income; the public debt was increased from 585 millions in 1902 to 847 millions in 1896, and before Mr. Cleveland had been in office two years there was a panic and prostration of industry precisely like that which brought misery and ruin to the nation in 1857. The number is small of the persons who can remember the disasters of 1857. Millions of living men know from observation what happened in 1893. The younger men, who have come into adult years since 1893, will do well to study the complete history of that time of destruction and distress, and the causes of the trouble. It is hard to believe that intelligent Americans who know the facts will consent to make a third experiment along the line of the Democratic theories and in the direction of another exodus of gold, another panic and another period of business disaster. The Dingley tariff went into operation in 1897, and in the six years following its adoption we sold to foreign countries of our products 3614 millions dollars' worth more than we bought from them. This enormous (and still increasing) balance of trade in our favor, and this alone, keeps the gold here, and adds continually to the dimensions of our stock. There will never be another gold drain from our shores to Europe while we have a good protective tariff; but no man can safely assert, in the light of the facts presented above, that such a tariff as Judge Parker and his friends are pleased to will not leave us without enough gold for the safety of our financial situation—Philadelphia North American.
