RELIGION AND IRRIGATION.
of the Earth in
With Federal Irrigatioti.
The geological survey is now swamp
ed with inquiries relative to- a scheme
for the evangelization of the earth in
conjunction with federal irrigation of
the southwest The connection of the
two enterprises is explained in the ad
vertising circulars. Many people in
innesota, Michigan. Wisconsin, In
diana, and Iowa have contributed
money to the movement, and now want
the geological survey to tell them all
about water rights, dams, and irriga
tion works in general. Most of them
are religious people, whose interest in
irrigation is secondary.
The prospectus states that in the fa
mous Salt River .Valley near Phoenix.
Ariz., there are 150.000 acres ol rich
beautiful land now vacant and owned
by the United States. "It can all be ir
rigated by unappropriated waters from
the Verde River." continues the pro
moter, "and when irrigated will have
an intrinsic value of $100 pen acre. The
company owns the right to take from
the Verde River water for the irriga
tion of this land. It also owns twenty
miles of,fine canal already excavated,
and a tunnel already constructed
through solid rock, about 900 feet long
and 12x14 feet in diameter, available
to use the Verde water.
"We are now selling the water rights
for this land. The price, is 35 cents per
share at the time of subscription $1.25
when the company's reservoir and
canal shall have been completed, and
the balance, if desired in eighteen an
nual payments of $1 each, with annual
interest on deferred payments pt the
rate of 6 per cent per annum from the
time the company shall be ready to de
liver the water. These lands are riot
now subject to purchase, but under the
law will be thrown open by the time
they are needed to carry out our plans.
The land Will be secured direct from
the government at $1.25 per acre, pay
able 25 cents at the time of entry and
$1 at the purchaser's option within four
years thereafter. A year's profit from
the cultivation of the land will more
than pay the total cost of both water
right and land. The details of the busi
ness have been so arranged that there
is absolutely no risk to purchase of
these water rights."
The promoter further says: "In. the
last few years God has' marvellously
thrown open the doors for Jhe evangel
i7.ntion
of the world. A multitude of
missionaries and' much money are need
ed to carry out our Lord's last great
command. God is as definitely calling
men whom he wishes to use in mak
ing this money as he- is calling others
to go as personal missionaries of the
gospel. The writer is conscious of
uch
9
call." This last sentence is
shrewdly worded.
"We are offering these water rights
to Christian people who, upon cultiva
tion or sale of the land, will be glad
to devote a portion of the profits ^o the
extension of the Lord's kingdom. The
profits will be large. We have no de
sire, however, to dictate the amount any
one will give or through what channels
the money shall be contributed."
The circular does not state that the
ordinary flow of the Verde River is
now completely appropriated for the ir
rigation of lands in the neighborhood
of Phoenix. The alleged reservoir can
probably never be built, and the canal
under which the people are invited to
settle has been constructed only in a
few localities where the digging is easy.
The cost of completing the canal
through many miles of rough country,
say the experts here, is prohibitive.
Many thousands of water rights have
already been sold, and letters are pour
ing in upon the secretary of the inter
ior asking for information in regard
to the company. Governor Brodie of
Arizona is conferring with the chief
justice of the territory, and art investi
gation will probably be ordered before
th^ y^i.ted States grand jury.

Forum1 If Sherlock Holmes 1* not
just now he will find somtlhing 011
which to exercise his great talents in
this city. A good many people would
like to know what has become of the
four masked men, who young James
Warren, jr., says, held him tip in board
daylight last Saturday afternoon, a
short distance north of town. They
wot!! also like to know what has be
come oi" the man whom Warren says
fell as if dead at his shot, and like
wise the whereabouts of the other who
on being hit by a second shot from the
young man's revolver, cried out with
pain. To date these men are as absent
as Charlie Ross, though tracks across
the plowing from, the scene of the hold
up. it is said, were seen by some.
Warren's story is that as he was driv
ing out to the junction he was ordered
to stop by the men, but, instead of com
plying, he' whipped up his horses and
drove by. As he passed the men op'en
ed fire upon him, sending several bul
lets through his buggy top, »one of
which also passed through the crown of
his hat. He returned the fire with the
results stated above and escaped unhurt.
He notified his brother-in-law, O. C.
Moquist, elevator agent at the junction
and another man, who carried the news
to town. It was too late to do any
thing that night, but the next day men
went to the scene of the hold-up and
found tracks on the plowing leading
away from it, but no. dead man nor
signs of carnage.
any in town are doubtful about the
occurrence, but absence of motive on
the young man's part for getting up
sucha story, the straightforward way in
which he tells his tale, and the bullet
holes are convincing to his friends.
It is supposed that the robbers took
him for his brother-in-law, and were
after the money that they surmised his
business would compel him -t«r have
about him.

was shipped with the Fargo street rail

$100 REWARD, $100.-
readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure In all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medicial fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer $100 for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testimon
ials. Address F. J. Clieney & Co.,

Hall's Family Pills are the best.

Sioux Fall Argus-Leader: The Far

prints a strong and convincing editorial
in support of Cuban reciprocity. It
calls attention to the pledge made by
parties in 1900, to the position
and
both
taken by President IVtcKinley
President Roosevelt and adds:
The Cuban treaty should be confirm
ed, because this nation owes it to the
people it made free, because it means
giving a friendly hand to a little neigh
bor, who is still our ward and be
cause it is just.
The Forum might have added, also,
that it should be given because it
would open to the American producer
a large and increasing market, and be*
cause freer trade relations between the
