THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of the County People of Kansas City, Kansas DIVORCES moral taint and physically and mentally mature domestic harmony and happiness is the natural sequence. Public sentiment will sometimes decide the stand people take in regard to many moral questions, as well as those less weighty ones and we parents of the present generation can do much to stimulate its growth in the proper direction in regard to the sacredness of the marriage tie, by our example always, and by precept when necessary. Perfect domestic harmony is the certain preventive of divorce and a single couple who have made of their married life "one grand sweet song," have done more to make divorce abhorrent to those associated with them as friends and relatives than many sermons directed against it. Many unhappy marriages and divorces too, have for their primary causes, habits due to a lack of proper easy training, and we who have the care of children cannot begin too early to teach our little ones to put aside selfishness and be ruled by kindness and justice in dealing with their fellow creatures. Young people who from childhood have been guided by the golden rule will make safe companions. The sanctity of marriage must ever depend upon the moral principles of men and women. If no principles of honor, truth and duty actuate husband and wife then marriage is merely a nand for a union which depends upon the passing whim, passion or convenience of one or both of the contracting parties. There are some who oppose the higher education of women and their training along business lines, on the grounds that the number of marriages are lessened thereby. No doubt by this means many ill advised and ill assorted unions are prevented for a young woman who perceptions and judgment have been trained so she is capable of self support will not marry unless she loves the man who seeks to win her and her love must be founded on respect. A young man whose training has made him fit to be the head and support of a family will if he secures such a woman as his mate, make of his home a paradise which will be a joy and inspiration to all who enter it. "Lord, mercifully ordain that we may grow old together" is the unvoiced prayer of the builders of such a home, and though the storms of life may leave their traces in bent forms and whitening locks, yet the fires kindled on the of love will never grow dim. Paul's injunction was, "Husband love your wives as Christ loved the church." When the youth of our land have been educated up to so high a standard of life that only such a love would be the basis of marriage, then we shall be nearing a millennium, when partners in marriage shall be truly one and divorce will be a thing of the past. in the city, he is also Ex President of Grisham Oratorical Club and has some reputation as and Orator and a Debtor He is a member of the graduating class of 1902 of Lincoln High School K C.Mo he is a young m and should be encouraged all leading Negro papers can be had at this Store the AMERICAN CITIZEN always on file.

In 1890 it was 6.2 and in 1900 it was 8 per cent. In other words the percentage of divorces to marriages in this country has more than doubled since 1870. The total number of divorces in the United States in a given year was 23,427. During the same year in all the world outside the United States there were only 20,111 divorces." were granted only a few days. The above appeared as an item of news in a leading publication some months ago. If this appalling statement be true there must be something in the spirit of the age that is responsible for it, or else there is something radically wrong with the training of our young people. We teast of our progress in the arts and sciences and along all lines of learning and point with pardonable pride to our material advancement, but if, as is so often asserted, the home is the foundation upon which rests the whole national welfare, and happy homes depend on the sanctity and stability of the marriage relation, then this rapid increase in divorces augurs ill for our country, and shows that we as a nation are plainly retrograding in a moral sense, no matter to what heights we attain intellectually or financially. That the divorce evil can be reached by legislation is doubtful. The history of other reforms shows that little good is ever done by adverse laws, and if lawful separation could not be secured other means would be resorted to by those to whom marriage had become hateful and murders and lesser crimes would be more common than they now are. There might be a deterent effect in laws which would prevent a second marriage with in a certain time after a divorce had been secured. If such laws were uniform through the United States, though they accomplish no other good, they would prevent the disgraceful spectacle men and women rushing from the divorce courts to secure the services of clergyman or civil magistrate that they might try a new partner. It is obvious that to materially lessen the number of divorces we must decrease the "marry in haste and repent at leisure" marriages and to that end we of this generation should wisely instruct our sons and daughters. Those who believe marriage to be a holy sacrament and regard the injunction, "Those whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder" as binding are not likely to let every trifle which mans the peace of [married life grows into a cause for divorce]. Marriage must be regarded as a serious matter, one that vitally affects for real or we live the lives of all who seek it, and its obligations must be held sacred.

Esendship among some people is un doubtedly like pie crust, made at the hands of a noted chef reliability and dependence upon the word of that class of surface friends who to your face are one thing and behind your back another is unknown. This make believe friendship exists to a more or less extent among all race, but it is more noticeable among Negroes. That lasting, true, unshaken, confidential open hearted man to man friendship is a thing of the past. There is more true friendship among thieves towards one another then there exists, among a large class of honest people. Why so much false pretension and deceitfulness among our people, who should be ideals of upright, straight for ward man and womanhood. We are at a loss to know, our experience among our people covering many years has been a source of much surprise, in what we have found out about their ways. We have at times staked our all on the truthfulness of friends, only to awake in the end, to the solemn realization that we were sadly mistaken in placing our confidence. One of the formidable stumbling blocks in the pathway of race progression, is the lack of truthfulness and steadfastness in the friendship towards and between one another. We may be Christians, bound in secret fraternities by oaths and obligations, but that amounts to nothing more than straw bands. Beneath the cloak of Christianity, shielded by oath bound secret fraternities their breathes some of the most infamous scoundrels that ever breathed the breath of life. True friends are precious gems and should be loosed verp sparingly. Let us change these affairs in our lives. Be what we are and nothing less.

Sit Down on Republican Organized Gang LABOR DIGNIFIED It is a serious mistake to witen-hold our taleots, whatever they may be, from benefiting those of our own race who are less fortunate than we. As a race we are judged by the law of averages, that average the better. If we once realize this, it will be a pleasure to give of our best for our people. Another serious mistake is made by many who have acquired that little learning which is 'a dangerous thing'. it is too disposition despise manual and domestic labor Every large city teens with bright young Negroes who are a monte to the community, because they refuse to do what they call "menial work", or "drudgery." They prefer to live by their wits or to be supported by the vices of unfortunate and shameless paramours. What a degradation of manhood! Far better would it be if these misguided and foolish youths could not read a line or write their names, but knew the digito of honest labor, however lowly that labor might be for all labor bears upon it the stamp of divinity. Education is a failure that does not teach men and woman that the noblest thing in the world is to toil honorably and honestly for one's daily bread whether that labor be to wait table, sweep a room, wash a tub of clothes, dig a ditch, drive a wagon, till the farm, edit a newspaper, plead a case, preach a sermon, write prescription, or govern a nation. The man or the woman who believe he is too good at work is flawing the lie in the face gf the Almighty and is a miserable imail failure. - On the Enterprise.

Rule and Rottennes COSMOPOLITAN NEW YORK CITY The cosmopolitan character of the population of New York city is admitted by all, and has frequently been commented upon. Considering the constant great inflow of immigration it is impossible that the people could be otherwise than very mixed. Notwithstanding that, however, the last census shows that there is at same time a steady increase in the percentage of native American population. When the census of 1890 was taken the project of a Greater New York was then, in round figures, 2,400,000, the number of native born inhabitants being 1,520,000, and of foreign-born inhabitants 940,000. The percentage of foreign-born inhabitants was 38.20. By the new census figures, just published, the population of New York, 3,437,202, and is thus divided: Native-born inhabitants, 2,167,122, and foreign-born inhabitants, 1,270,000. The foreign-born population of New York city has increased 330,000 in ten years, and the native-born population in the same period has increased 647,000, nearly twice as much. The percentage of foreign-born inhabitants in 1900 was 36.95, or one and a quarter per cent less than in 1900. Ten years ago there were 55,000 Russians in New York, now there are 150,000, a gain of 100,000. Ten years ago there were 50.000 Italians in New York, and now there are 145,000. Those of other nationalities increased during the decade as follows: Poles, from 9,000 to 32,000; Hungarians, from 13,000 to 31,000; Swedes and Norwegians, from 23,000 to 40,000; Bohemians, from 8,000 to 15,000; Chinese, from 2,800 to 6,000. Germans now form the largest foreign-born element in the city. The English, Scotch and French again did not increase their numbers during the decade, while the proportion of Irish was actually less in 1900 than in 1890. During the decade new colonies were formed of Canadians, Roumanians and Syrians. MME. PATTI'S GOSPEL OF HEALTH. Great Prima Donna Lays Down Some Reasonable Rules. The following is printed, as the famous prima donna's code. "To be healthy is the natural state, and disease is, in nine cases out of ten, our punishment for some indiscretion or excess. "Every time we are ill it is part of our remaining youth which we squander. Every recovery, whether from headache or pneumonia, is accomplished by the strenuous effort of vitality, and is therefore a waste of your capital of life. "Therefore, don't let yourself be ill. "The best plan to avoid illness is to live regularly, simply, with a frugality that stupid persons alone will seem painful or eccentric. "Sleep eight hours in every twenty-four. "Ventilate the rooms in which you work and sleep. Very few people, even among those who think they are well up in modern ideas, have any conception of what ventilation means. Even when my voice was the only thing I had in the world I slept with my windows wide open, summer and winter, and never caught cold in that way. "Examine seriously into your list of social obligations, have the good sense to recognize that there is neither pleasure nor profit in most of what you regard as essential in that line, and simplify your social life—simplify it all you can. "Make your home a pleasant place—cheerful, but well within your means. "Drink nothing but water or milk—especially drink lots of water. You can never drink too much of it. "On the other hand, remember that alcohol is a poison which does untold damage within you; that beer, wine, coffee and tea are poisons, too. Shun all of them as would diluted vitriol. What Is the True Woman? "Perfect woman, nobly planned, to warn, to comfort and command," described by Wordsworth as the ideal of his age, meets with various definitions at the dawn of the twentieth century. Kipling called her in "The Vampire," "a rag and a bone and a bank of hair," but this has not been accepted as the last word. Maerelink is rather nicer, when he speaks of her as "the only mystic." Meredith says that by virtue of her abundant hair she is more of a vegetable than man. Isabel Osborne Stevenson, the stepdaughter of Robert Louis Stevenson, voiced one notion of womanhood at a tea given in her honor by Professor Eugene Lamb Richards of Yale. She had spoken of Mrs. Stevenson as about the perfect woman. Some one asked if she could write. "No," was the reply. A fire of questions developed the admissions that Mrs. Stevenson was not peculiarly gifted in any artistic direction, and that she had no great interest in charities or women's clubs. "Just what is your mother's specialty?" finally asked a young tutor's wife. "Oh," replied Mrs. Strong, "she can roll cigarettes and talk to men." Mrs. Oliver Ames supports, at her own expense, a full brass band at the Oliver Ames High School of North Easton, Mass, an institution of her own planning and provision. We must conform to a certain extent to the conventionalities of society, for they are the ripened results of a varied and long experience.—A. A. Hodge. American Citizen Publishing and Printing Co.

Read The Citizen. With the object of encouraging agriculture in the Soudan the British government has tentatively begun to purchase the crops raised by the sellas. Special commissions have been appointed for the regulation and establishment of titles to real property in town and country. These commissions settle the questions at issue on the spot. The continuous possession of a piece of ground for five years is regarded as sufficient evidence of title. The prohibition to grow tobacco has been withdrawn. An experiment in colonization has been carried out in the districts along the Blue and White Niles with two disbanded Soudenes battalions, but even so soon as this there is a considerable improvement in the condition of affairs in the Soudan. Fuel Out of Waste. One problem which municipal authorities of all countries have been seeki g to solve is how to best dispose of the city's garbage. A process has been discovered in France, by which garbage is converted into briquettes. It consists of mincing the refuse, straw, paper and the like and adding tar and napthalene. The whole mass is then mixed in a kneading apparatus and dried, and pressed into briquettes. The director of the Paris municipal laboratory says that these briquettes have a slight odor of gas, burn brightly, an n ender heat slowly. With a more highly perfected method of manuf cure they will engender less ash, and the heat-producing qualities will be about the same as those of common coal. Restoring Frescoes. The castle of Cles, in Tient, at present used as a barracks, contains some very five frescoes and wall paintings made when the Cardinal von Cles occupied the palace as bishop of the see. They date from 1530 to 1535. Three famous Italian artists were summoned to Cles to beautify the castle—Dosso Dosso, from Ferrara; Romanino from Brescia, and Figolino, from Vincenza. Much of Dossi's work is visible but part has been unfortunately whitewashed over. These works are now to be rescued as far as possible from destruction. Gounod's Lost Opera Few people are aware that Gounod once, in a moment of anger, tore up the manuscript of an opera he had composed, and, though he afterwards repented of his action, he was quite unable to recall its melodies. Gounod's opera "Faust" was nearly lost to the world by the religious scruples of the great composer. About the time he wrote it he determined henceforth only to write sacred music, but, happily for posterity, he thought better of his resolution. Rare Old Bible Found. A wonderful old Bible has just been discovered in Venice, the fortunate finder being Leo S. Olschki, a well-known antiquarian of Florence. It is in five large volumes, and was printed in Rome in the printing house of Don Pietro Massimo in 1471 and 1472. Soon after it came from the press it was purchased by a patrician family of Venice, and it was in the archives of this family that Olschki discovered it A Czar's Novel Visiting Card A Czar's Novel Visiting Card. From the Ladies' Home Journal: The Russians tell a story of the late Czar Alexander III. that upon the care occasions when it was incumbent upon him to pay a call he would take a gold coin bearing his "image and super-scription" and twisting it between thumb and finger leave it in lieu of card—the only man in Russia who had strength for the feat. American Bottles the Best. American bottles are preferred to all others for the export trade, and especially in warm climates where American and English goods come into close competition. American glass is said to stand tropical climates better than the English, the reason being that it is better annealed. Transvaal Minerals. The Transvaal is the richest country in the world so far as minerals are concerned. In 1877 England annexed the Transvaal, but evacuated it in 1881. In 1848 England conquered and annexed the Orange Free State, but evacuated it six years later. Duty on a Mouse. Uncle Sam is a stern stickler for form, and the amount of red tape employed in the custom house is really remarkable. It was demonstrated the other day that not even a tiny mouse can creep into our domaine from foreign shores without paying duty, says the Philadelphia Record. A gentleman returning from Europe brought with him a pet white mouse, of which he had grown very fond. His "mouse-leis" was assessed at 20 per cent, which so enraged its owner that he vigorously protested. The case was appealed, and the board of classification of the board of general appraisers, after mature deliberation in solemn conclave, handed down a decision in which the protest was overruled. EUGENE FIELD FIXED HIM. Accepted a Loan, and Faithfully Promised to Forget It "The late Eugene Field was notoriously improvident, his chronic hardiness being a sort of byword among his intimates," said an old friend of the poet recently. "But he managed to get a good deal of fun himself out of the paucity of his own resources. Once at one of those semi-public functions held in a saloon where every man is a host who has the price and every man a guest who has a thirst Field, as usual, went broke. There happened to be a hanger-on in the crowd, one of those whose considerable ambition is to say they have shaken hands and touched glasses with a celebrity. Calling the poet to one side he said: 'Now, I hope you'll take no offense, but I understand you to say you had run short of money. If that be true, I would be glad to oblige you with a ten.' How dare you!' snapped Field, affecting great indignation. 'I don't even know your name.' 'Beg your pardon a thousand times,' responded the other; 'I meant no offense. I assure you. I thought you might be able to use the money. Please forget it.' Field was silent for a moment as if in deep thought and then slowly drawn: "Forget it! All right; I will on one condition." 'On what condition?' "On condition that you make it $15." Soudan Up to Date HERE YOU ARE The best place in town to have your boots and shoes Mr. D. A.

Returning home from one of his journeys to England, he brought with him a pair of pajamas, and his appearance at night in this clothing nearly frightened the life out of the good Tante, his wife. "What's that?" she demanded. "Sleeping clothes from England," said Mr. Kruger, with misgiving. "Then take them off," responded Tante, "and come to bed in your veldshoen (shoes)."

A recent German invention is armored glass, or glass glass with wire gauze incised in their substance, so as to increase the resistance to pressure shock, and the effects of heat. Tests of the new material have been made at the Chemnitz technological museum which show that the armored glass is much stronger, and where the ordinary glass broke under sudden applications of pressure the strengthened material only cracked, and the cracks caused by changes of temperature did not allow either damp or flame to pass. Daughter of the Celebrated Preacher Weds at Washington. Prominent among the early spring nuptial events was the wedding of Miss Maude Talmage, daughter of the Wis Mande Talmage. Dr. Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, and Clarence F. Wyckoff of Ithaca, N. Y. The wedding took place Wednesday, April 9. On account of the illness of Dr Talmage the plans for an elaborate church wedding were changed and the nuptials were celebrated quietly at the home of the bride, 1400 Massachusetts avenue. Miss Talmage is a piquant, pretty girl who has been greatly admired in Washington society, for her lovable, womanly traits. Mr. Wyckoff is a Cornell graduate, a member of the Chi Pel fraternity, a lawyer and a successful and wealthy business man. He accompanied Lieut.

How the Vote Was Counted CONTACT John S. Wise, now a well known lawyer in New York, once ran for governor of Virginia from Fitzhugh Lee, the latter being elected. Some time after the election Wise was making a speech in Caroline county. He was frequently interrupted by a nego, who appeared to be under the influence of liquor. Having stood the interruptions as long as he could, Mr. Wise finally stopped his speech and addressed himself directly to the nego, asking him to keep quiet. "I asks you pawdon, Mr. Wise," replied the interruptions, "but you know I voted for you." Yes, I know you did, "quickly fitted the respondent, Mr. Wise, "but your vote was counted for Fitzhugh Lee."

Mr. Prato, the candymaker, lives in a five-story house in West Twenty-fifth street, and grows vegetables for his family in a beautiful garden on the roof, says a New York newspaper writer. It is really the only practical vegetable garden on a New York roof. Most of our roofs are dedicated to the sun and rain. They absorb the sun in hot weather and disseminate blistering heat through the house. Gardens would change all this. Prato's house is delightfully cool in the hot months, while the homes of his neighbors are sweltering. In his garden he grows lettuce, celery, peas, beans, tomatoes, radishes, asparagus and some flowers. Of course the roof is flat and constructed of cement, surrounded by an ornamental parapet with sloping coping. Earth is contained in great rectangles of two-inch beams, eight-een inches wide and set on edge, leaving spaces for walks. There is no reason why the roofs of New York should not be utilized. We are wasting a vast amount of space. The roof acreage would grow nearly all the "truck" the population could eat. DR. ENGLISH'S VERSATILE CAREER Dr. Thomas Dunn English, who died at his home in Newark, N. J., recently, Dr. English. led a versatile career, being a poet, physician, lawyer, editor and legislator. He was of Quaker ancestry—the family name originally being Angelos—and he was born in Philadelphia in 1819. He began his literary career as a writer for the Philadelphia press, when he was only 17 years old. In 1843 he wrote the famous song, Bent Bolt, which enjoyed an immense popularity, and which came into vogue a few years ago when De Maurier revived it in his Trilby, wrongfully using it as an old English poem. Singular to say, Dr. English regarded it as a scrappy piece of work, and we believe at one time regretted having written it. EX-CAPT. CARTER SERIOUSLY ILL Army Officer Convicted of Embzeitement May Die in Jail. Oberlin M. Carter, ex-captain United States engineer engineer, who is O. M. Carter reported seriously ill in the Leavenworth penitentiary, was convicted in August, 1898, of embezzling nearly $3,000,000 from the government in connection with the improvements at Savannah harbor and other incidental irregularities and sentenced to dismissal from the army, to ten years' imprisonment, and to have his disgrace published in the papers and in general orders, with notice to all officers that their recognition of him in any way would lead to their trial for scandalous conduct. He is now serving his term. He was a West Pointer, and at the time of his arrest was military attache at London and a member of the Nicaragua canal commission. Monks to Have Old Home. South Germany's oldest monastery, the Benedictine abbey of Wessbourn, founded in 755 and confiscated in 1893, has been restored to the Benedictine order by Baron von Cramer-Klett, a Protestant, and will soon be reoccupied by monks. The baron bought all the lands and remaining buildings of the old abbey from the Bavarian state for 900,000 marks, and sold them to the Benedictines for a nominal sum. This is a specimen of the writing used in a manuscript of Bede's chronicles, dated in the eighth century. The Sexes in Canada An Ottawa message says the census of the sexes in Canada shows that there are: Single males, 1,747,842; females, 1,563,450; married males, 929,915; females, 905,031. CHAMPION OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE Mrs. Esther Morris, who died at Cheyenne, Wyo., recently, aged 88 years, was noted as the "mother" of woman suffrage in Wyoming, and as the first woman justice of the peace. She inaugurated the movement which Mrs. Morris. gave Wyoming women the right to vote for President. As justice of the peace, to which post she was appointed in 1869. Mrs. Morris was a terror to wrongdoers, and no tie of friendship was strong enough to induce her to depart from the justice of a case, either in a suit or a trial for infraction of the peace. During the year in which she held office she tried about fifty cases, and it is said no decision of hers was ever reversed in a higher court of appeal. Mrs. Morris came from English ancestry, was born in Oswego, N. Y., was married twice, and lived for nineteen years at Peru, Ill., where John Morris, her last husband, was a merchant. He died in Wyoming in 1876. MORMONISM SPREADING RAPIDLY Report That Converts Are Being Made at an Alarming Rate. The rapid spread of Mormonism in New York is attracting the attention of the home missionary societies, the members of which bodies are about to take steps to prevent its further growth in the metropolis. Already the Latter Day Saints own three churches and number 3,000 New Yorkers as adherents of the faith.

They maintain 2,000 missionaries in the field all the time.

A Tranquil Monk's Prayer In Lippincott's Magazine there is an article on "Trappist Monks," by John Ball Osborne, from which the following pathetic fact is quoted: "Many letters come to the monastery announcing the death of relatives of the monks; these are seen by the abbot only, and at chapter he may simply announce: 'The mother of one of our number is dead; let us pray for her soul.' Never to his dying day does the bereaved Trappist learn that he was praying for his own mother." Cold Storage for Fish. The legislature of Newfoundland has provided liberally for the installation of a cold storage system for the fisheries of the colony. All the fish now caught there are cured and salted for the market, found principally in the Mediterranean ports and Brazil, and it is hoped to open up new markets for the codfish, salmon and other fish and lobsters in a fresh state.

The Territorial Government Reports The Store, Results, Second Belief. Regina, Assinibolou, Canada, January 10th—At the Agricultural Statistics Branch of the Department of Agriculture for the Territories, reports are now being received from grain threshers throughout the Territories, for statistical purposes. The reports are somewhat delayed this year, owing to the extensive crop and the delay in getting it threshed. The Department of Agriculture is leading the way in a new departure, with regard to the collection of crop statistics. In the older provinces, crop estimates are based entirely on the opinion of persons interested in the grain business who ought to be, and no doubt are, well posted upon the probable yields. Still the reports are simply a matter of opinion, in which a mistake may easily be made. The Territorial Department, however, has adopted the system of returns of crops actually threshed, upon which to base their reports. The accuracy of the reports cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for they represent a compilation of actual threshing results. In this connection, it might be mentioned that the Department is organizing a system of growing crop returns, which will be in operation next summer. The information thus obtained, with estimated acreage, will be available for business men, banks, railway companies, and other interests which have to discount the future in making provision for the conduct of their business. The crop reports already to hand show some remarkable cases of abnormal development. In the Regina district, many returns are given of crops of wheat running from 40 to 45 bushels to the acre. J. A. Snell, of Yorkton, threshed 28,000 bushels of oats from 450 acres, an average of 63 bushels per acre for a large acreage. W. R. Lotherwell, of Abernethy, threshed 2,650 bushels of wheat from a 50-acre field, an average of 53 bushels per acre. In the Edmonton district, T. T. Hutchins threshed 728 bushels of wheat from a ten-acre plot, an average of nearly 73 bushels per acre. S. Norman threshed 6,350 bushels of oats from 60 acres of land, an average of 116 bushels per acre. The publication of the actual yields or grain threshed will likely open the eyes of the people to the great capabilities of the Western Canadian prairies. What He Wanted.

Threw His Canes Away. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., April 7th. Mr. C. L. Smith of 309 Anne St., the Secy. of the Trades Council has written this startling statement for publication. "I feel it my duty to make public the facts of my recent illness and recovery. I was very sick and sore, and had to walk with the aid of two canes. It was a very painful attack, but I don't know what it was. Some said it was Lumhago and others that it was Sculatica or Rheumatism. "I was told to take Dodd's Kidney Pills, and began a treatment. After I had used one box I could walk with one cane, and after two boxes were used I could walk without any help. I kept on and three boxes cured me completely. "I am now well and happy without a pain or an ache and I can very truly say that Dodd's Kidney Pills are worthy of my greatest praise."

The big irr. gation ditches in Southwestern Kansas are falling into the possession of local people and it will only be a matter o! a few months now until the farmers will own all of them. At least this is what Henry Mason, of Garden City says. The Great Eastern ditch was transferred from Eastern parties tc Western farmers about a month ago aad negotiations are on foot for the transfer of the two other big ditches to the farmers—the Amazon ditch and the Garden City ditch. The Amazou was bid in at a foreclosure sale by the bondholders a few days ago, but they are now at work on a deal with the farmers to sell it. “The irrigation business is run under a peculiar system out our way,” said Mr. Mason. “The trouble is when the crops need moisture the most we have no water in the ditches. In most places especially Colorado, they water their crops as they desire. But with us it is different. We must do our watering before the crops begin to grow much. We usually soak the ground thorough- ly in the spring and then, if the river is not dry, we give it another soaking before the crop is large. This gives us enough moisture to carry us through. No irrigating is done in June and July because there is no water. the big ditches were all built by East. erners and were bonded heavily. ‘They did not pay as an investment.
