The IrriRutiuií Comimnln Thai Are

the Farmer of the Future
—A Groat Trap for In
ventora.
For over twenty years the principal
industry followed by many sharp, un-
scrupulous men who live in tbo far
wostorn teritoiy lying between the
liundreth meridian and the Paoifio
ocean has been to devise alleged money-
making schemes and tp promptly per-
suado eastern and foreign capitalista
to invost money in them. First it wu
mining, then building railroads through
rocky canyons and arid parks and
over lofty mountain ranges, then min-
ing again, and still later the enormous
profits to be derived from buying half-
wild cattle and turning them out upon
the range to shift for themselves was
strongly dwelt upon. Eastern and for-
oign investors have lost many millions
of dollars in the various schemes whioh
havo been placed on their money mar-
kets. It is exceedingly doubtful wheth-
or any Kooky Mountain stats or terri-
tory would to-day, if offered at publio
salo, fetch |i sum of money equal to
that which lias been lost in its so-called
development. There is nothing to
show for the money invested in mining,
mid railroad-building, and cattle-grow-
ing, cxcopt holes in the ground, piles
of non-dividend-paying railroad stock,
and a few hundred thousand gaunt,
bony cattle, wandering aimlessly over
the arid plains and among the foot-
hills.
The enormous financial losses incur-
red by eastern and foreign Investors,
losses which resulted directly from fol-
lowing the advico of western adven-
turers, have made capitalists exceed-
ingly loath to further employ their
money in those distant lands. At pres-
ent it is hardly probable that the most
adroit western speculator could coax
an oastern man to invest money in any
mining or cattle-growing scheme. That
day has passed, never to return. These
facts are perfectly comprehended In
Rocky mountain towns. And the wily
adventurers who live there have at last
devised a scheme which promises to
return a large interest on the invest-
ment, and one which appears to be
perfoclly safe, and for which the time
is ripe. This enterprise is to build ir-
rigation ditchcs to load water from
ncver^failing rivers, which flow through
arid, sagebrush-covored plains and
vallevs, to extensive tracts of rich but
dry „lands, anil then to soil the life-
giving water to agricultural settlers.
Practically the arable publio lands
are exhausted. It Is true that there is
a 1 mited area of small grain land still
vacant, but it is also true that the best
informed men in the west assert that
they do not see where an agricultural
setller can entnr or, homestead 160
acres of corn land. This being true,
the settlers, ever hunting for corn land,
who enter the arid zone speedily dis-
cover that without irrigation their
eflbrts to till the land are Unprofitable.
So homes half created are abandonod,
and the disappointed men push west-
ward Ip the highlands, where there is
an abundant supply of water. Arriv-
ing th<jro they find that the low lying
and fertile land which borders the
streams is in the hands of cattle-grow-
ing associations. It has been unlaw-
fully fonced, and is resolutely held
against all comers. There remains for
the settlers nothing but the arid, sage-
brush plains, which have no value un-
less wator can be brought on them.
But if water is turned on tiioiu small
grains and all sorts of vegetables can
be grown in abundance and to the per-
fect maturity. These wandering agri-
culturists vvlio have gone far west Into
the ari d zone to escape the poverty-
creating evils of Mississippi valley
tenant-farming, are too poor to build
costly irrigation ditches. Without as-
sistance, either from the state or from
corporations, they can not settle on
these fertile but dry lands, where water
is the essential of remunerative agri-
culture. From tho necessities of the
case the opportunity of the old set of
mining and rail-road building and cat-
tle-growing sharpers has arisen.
Throughout the west, wherever water
flows and sagebrush grows, the talk of
adventurous speculators ' is about irri-
gation. The whole region lying be-
tween tho front, range of the Kooky
mountains and tho Sierre Nevada range
is being carefully examined by them to
lind sites for ditches and irrigation, and
so-called land improvement com panies
are be;ng incorporated by the
score, preparatory to another loot-
ing i.r 'ho oastern money markets.
All western men ktiow that the sage-
brush affords a certain indication of the
agricultural value of the land. Tbo
higher and more vigorous the growth
of this shrub the greater the fertility of
the land after It has been reclaimed.
So there is a fcranihlo to secure these
hitherto worthless lands. Ditches aro
laid out and digging is began. Men
arc hired to take the tributary land un-
der tho provisions of the desert-land act.
If tho area subject to the ditch includes
land belonging to a land-grant railroad
corporation that land bought from
tho company at a nominal price. In
this manner extensive areas of land are
secured by the ditch companies. These
tracts arc divided into small farms,
which nro sold on long time or leased
to actual settlers. The agriculturists
of the western ton1 tones are being
S J laced in bondage before tho soil has
been stirred.
The irrigation system, as practiced
oy Americans, is firmly established in
Colorado, where heavily-capitalized cor-
porations own hundreds of miles of
ditches and sell water to thousands of
farmers. In that state the oracticai
working of the system can be seen.
The usual lease or doed given to a seU
tier or tenant in Colorado provides that
if he buys tho land he shall pay, aav.
f 10 per acre; in addition he pays $lo
for a perpotual water-right, and from
91.60 to $4 per year per acre of the
land he cultivates for the use of water.
Then there is an unknown and elastic
charge, Which ,varies year by year, for
the repairs necessary." to maintain the.,
ditch. All settlers and tenants are
forced to agree to pay this charge or
their water is cut off. It is easy to fore-
see the outcomo of these sxtortionate
charges No agriculturo can prosper
under it The fatefnl crop of mort-
tually be ths vassals of the lsnd-im-
provenient and irrigation companies.
It is but fair to say that the profits
derived from the business of seizing
water, which should be free to all man-
kind, and peddling it ttr poverty-
stricken mrper is eformouc. saghtfr
ninety, and a hundred pef cent per,
annum are not uncommon dividends.
In the future, if the system stands, it
is within bounds of probability that the
annual dividends of favorably located
itches will be at least 1,000 per cent

out of rivers and to distribute 1<
over the plains and in the valleys and
to seize the public domain it is almost
certain that the various ditch com-
panies will, in the near future, consoli-
date. and that almost the whole of the
alwft"1'"
under the oostrol of o:
set of men, end the millions of people
*bo win be foraed to liiTSe
slavelike peasants.
This state of affairs is the outcome of
the first attempt of Anglo-Saxon people
to apply their land laws to irrigated
land. In almost nil Asiatic tfctontrtes,,
Where irrigation U#ractic«d the works
belong to the state, which derives al-
most its entire revenue from the sale of
water. That system. or some just and
wise modification of it, should have
been adopted in our arid territories.
The works should have been built by
the state, and the principal revenues of
the state could then have been derived
the farmers could have lived In com-
fort and laid up money' against their
old age.
The digging by corporations of irri-
gation ditches in the arid western land
Is a money-making scheme, and, unlike
mining or cattle-growing or w¡''
railroad-building, it has an elet
of certainty in it Where lind is
gated crops are almost certain, and
prices are fairly good at present in
these remote regions. The rents which
can be extorted are attractive to men
of iuherent greediness of blood. The
tenants can be and probably will be
racked. But the .injustice aside 'the
stock of these companies, provided
the ditch is wisely located, will be
dividend-paying. This stock is the first
thst has come from the west to oi
market, which did not bear on its fi
a dishonest appearance. Here all i]
open. It is tiie avowed intention of the
promoters of these irrigation-ditch
enterprises to grind the agriculturists
into direful poverty, or rather to keep
them in the poverty-stricken condition
they are now in, and out of the hard
and ill-pa d toils of these men to wring
a dividend that will cause their stoek to
soar high .\bovo par.
It is almostlSi«ertain that the specu-
lative westernor will, as soon as the
irrigation craze is fully developed, en-
deavor to place the bonds and stock of
unwisely or d.«honestly located ditches
on the eastern market Plains of frosty
altitude will be guttered with ditches,
and trustful men will bo solemnly as-
sured that the land is of good quality
and that the seasons are long ana mild.
Investors catrer to become rich by in-
vesting in tlm slock of irrigation-ditch
companies will have to carefully
examine the land or they will surely be
cheated. — Selma (Kán.) Cor. New York
Sun.
The Rabbit in the Far Trade.
The Economists Francois has ah
amusing paragraph on the role which
the common rabbit now plays in the
fur trade. The skill of the dyer servea
up poor Bunny under a variety of dis-
guises, aud those who buy what onoe
"kept out the cold" from the body of
Monsieur Lspin are just as happy.
When the hairs are allowed to retain
their full length the fur is called " Si-
berian," or tho "marten" of any coun-
try you please. When, on the other
hand it ia picked over and the ends of
the hairs drawn back. It masquerades
as "castor." With the hair pressed
fint to represent velvet plush the deal-
er swears it is "otter" Irora the polar
seas.
The vagabond cat of tho gutters and
back yards, although not to such an
extent, emulates "Brer. Rabbit" in the
latter's transformations. A story is
told of a French lady retumod to her
native land after a sojourn in America
who consulted a I'afisán farrier about
a muff she averted -was "a magnificent
otter," but which liad boon injured by
moths, and which she wished to hare
restored to its pristine beauty. On ex-
amination the artist in furs discovered
that the "ma^nificant otter" was noth-
ing more or less than the skin of s
"Grimalkin" skillfully prepared.
The journal referred to asserts that
at least two-thirds of tho furs of com-
merce are tho hairy coats of the nut-
loving rodent that annuallv furnishes
so many savory stows to tho horny-
handed sons of toil in Paris. —New
