ABOUT ARTESIAN WELLS.
The ceusas reports upon irrigation
show that one year ago this month there
were 8,097 flowing artesian wells iu the
United States. Of this number 3,930
"'wells were employed in irrigation, wal
Heriug 51,290 acres or an average o 13.21
; acres per week. The majority of these
weirs were in California and Utah, the
'former state having 3,210 and the latter
r.ii i 1 i i i rnn - f- o a
Sooth Takota 527 and North Dakota 461.
' We find Idaho credited with 28, Wash
ington 9 and Oregon 6. Those iu Idaho
were divided between Oneida and P.ing-ham-eounties.
.Washington's 9 are in
Whitman county, excepting one in Spo
"kaue. Oregon1 s well9 are divided among
OoOk, 'Gilliam, Harney and .Wasco
counties. y
The conclusion derived, from the data
gathered by the census is that irrigation
by artesian wells should not be ' at
tempted where other means are availa
ble. The average cost of irrigating an
acre of land with artesiau water is
figured at $18.88, in comparison with
'$8.15 by the ordinary methods. " In
anany instances, however, -the artesian
well is superior and cheaper .to the old
method. It gives a farmer a plentiful
supply of water for other purposes, and
makes him independent of the powerful
st rhte, however, the-water from these
'weila too cold to be immediately dis
tributed over vegetation, and to over-;
come this a small reservoir must be fig-
urea in with the cost ot the well.
''The fact that all the wells in the
Untied Stales are capable of irrigating no
more land than is covered by a single
large ditch, and that in California, Utah
and Colorado experience has shown that
only a limited amount of water can be
forced out of a single basin, the old wells
going dry as the new ones, are sunk, is
convincing that irrigation by this method
can never be more than of minor im
portance. The experiment is so risky,
the cost so great, and the supply so
limited that artesian wells can be called
a success only in those sections where it
is impossible or too costly to obtain
water by canals. The primary purpose
i sinking such, wells should be the sup
ply of farmhouses and towns,' and the
surplusage can then be turned to the
mees of irrigation.

Not- long before his death James Par
ton ts reported to have said that a person
who decided to support himself exclu
airely by his pen must be content to live
on about $2,000 a year. The best, ac
cording' to Mr. Parton, that a literary
man could hope to attain would be $6,000
or $7,000 a year for perhaps ten or twelve
years, when the author's experience) was
ripe and whilo he was still in his prime.
This statement seemecl rather strange
coming from so successful an author as
Mr. Parton, yet it was reported in such
a way as leaves but little doubt that this
was his opiniou. Yet lie was himself an
example of the falsity of it. althongh he
may have thought that his case was the
exception that proves the rule.
Mr. Parton . was a constant writer and
a pretty frequent author for more than
forty years. Some of his books had a
phenomenal sale. His "Life of Horace
Greeley" brought him .not only a hand
some income, but a small capital. Hi
'History of Ben Butler," and especially
of Sutler's life in New Orleans after the
capture of that city. was. very popular
during the war days, and Parton's life
of Aaron Burr added materially to his
possessions.
Parton earned so much ttiohey that he
was able to accumulate, and When be
left New York and went to Newbury
port, Mass., to live, just as old age was
beginning to come upon him. he had a
sufficient property to support him. even
if he did not write another line. Of
course he could not live in luxury, but
he lived in comfort, surrounded by alt
those things which made life agreeable
to him.
JIEl WHO KKCKIVK WO 1SCOJ1KK.
Parton was not a great author.- He
wrote as a business, and it was his busi
ness to-give what his clientage wanted..
And that is the secret of the success of
those who have adopted literature as a
profession. ' Those .who take up the pen
in. order to win an exalted and perma
nent fame must undoubtedly give Dirt,
little heed to the pecuniary considera
tion, but those who expect to make a
living out of authorship must do as is
done in .every other profession serve
their clients and increase them if pos
sible. There are a good many other examples
which indicate that Mr. Parton was mis
taken. In his own vicinity there lived sev
eral men who had done exceedingly well
at the business of authorship: Mr. Char lee
Carleton Coffin . abandoned' journalism
after a brilliant career as a war corre
spondent, and has made a comfortable
fortune and a good income by writing in
a popular1 manner historical and anec
dotal works designed mainly for yonng
persons. ' - 1 '
Mr. d. v. irowDrioge lives comiort-
ably on the income he gets from his
boys stories, and bo does Oliver Optic
Mr. Adams, who is Oliver Optic in real
life, although his hair is gray and be
has become an old man. has just entered
into a contract to furnish a series of ten
stories for yonng persons, written in the
style which earned him popularity forty
years ago. He will probably write those
ten stories within ar year, for he is a very
rapid workman, and . while the precise
terms of payment are not known, it is
believed that he will receive not less
than $15,000 for them.
Uneral Lew Wallace is said to have
received from $75,000 to $90,000 royalty
upon his single book. "Beu Hun" but.
that is oue of those spasmodic and phe
nomenal successes which become tradi
tional. Miss Alcott, besides living band
somely, left an estate valued at $100,000.
all of which has been made in about
twenty years. Mr. - George Parsons
Jjathrop, his brother-in-law, Julian Haw
thorne, Edgar Saltus-and Edgar Faw
cett have no other profession than liter
ature. Lathrop and ' Hawthorne do
some journalistic work, while Fawcett
has a private fortune. - Each of these
men counts on making as much as $5,000
year, and Saltus income one year was
nearly $15,000.
SOBOC YOUNG AUTHORS.
There have been a number of success
ful authors of late who have complained
that they cannot live by their pens.
A few years ago a novel appeared en
titled Guerndale." It was published
over a nom de plume, "J. fa. of Dale,
and it was regarded as one of the suc
cessful books of the year. . Its author,
Mr. Stimson, was a recent graduate of
Harvard collese, and the success or the
book inspired him with literary ambi
tion. . Vet he has practically abandoned
literature, excepting as a . by play, and
is making money practicing law.
Robert-Grant, anotner young .Boston
litterateur who won- some fame, relies
upon the practice of a dryer profession
than literature for his support. Jonn
Hahberton. who made a great hit with
'Helen's Babies," and who writes ex- i
ceedingly clever stories, relies upon jour
nalism for his support, while literature
is a side issue with him. . Mrs. Burnett
made no money nntil her play, "Little
Lord Fauntleroy," was produced, al
thongh she had previously written sev
eral very successful novels, and she has
practically abandoned story telling for
the drama.
These cases. - however, simply ulua-
trate the fact that that sort of literature
which develops fiction cannot be relied
upon for a very handsome support. The
authors who make money are those lake
Parton. Benson J. LossinH -and Coffin.
who are able to sot forth, in a stylo
which does not shoot over the braid of
the public, either history or the stories
of achievement or the careers of famous-
men in a manner which makes the tell
ing of the tory most attractive. The
author who can cultivate this quality is
sure of repeating the successes of those
who have been mimed, and would prob
ably earn more money in this sort of
writing than he could if he went into
any other business or profession Now
