Ing that the country Is civilized, when
the class of Western stories that find
place in Eastern newspapers, is taken
into consideration,
"The most interesting questions
asked are those in regard to distances
in the mountains of the West
"Coming through Baker valley yes
terday morning, one old gentleman,
who had surveyed the Powder river
mountains long and thoughtfully,
asked if ho would have time to walk
over to the timber while wo were re
pairing the broken down engine.
Asked how far ho thought It was to
the nearest timber in the distance, he
suggested three-quarters of a mile. It
was fully nine miles from whore wo
stood to the belt of timber referred
to.
"Schools, churches and the social
customs of the West are endless sub
jects for discussion among them.
"Farming customs here do not take
I well with them. Coming down by
Thorn Hollow, a now threshing ma-
I chine was seen standing under a tree.
I exposed to the storms. 'I'll bet that
I man has a mortgage on his farm.'

THE OLD MAXWELL DITCH.
Conditions That Must Be Met in Or
dinary Farm Irrigation.
Old Irrigators, especially those
favoring government or state control
of the systems, claim that the wnste
of water has always been nnd always
will be, the most prolific sourco of
trouble under the system of private
ditching. The waste is in two ways,
for the most part
First, the surplus is seldom intelli
gently or conscientiously saved; as a
rule it is allowed to collect in out-of-the-way
places, gathering In such
places in answer to the laws of grav
itation, nnd there it wastes by seep
age and evaporation.
Secondly, simply by wasteful meth
ods of applying it to tho soil; far
more is used than is necessary to de
velop tho crop. Under tho stato or
government supervision every minors'
inch must bo accounted for, with the
result that incredible areas can he
irrigated from an amount of wnter
that would nowhere reach the same
area under the "system" of every man
for himself.

Basil Adrian arrived at the prison

age strength. He wbb 29 years of ago
and until the time of his crimo, which
for its flendishncss has seldom beon
equaled in tho history of tho state,
ho had always been considored one
of the best behaved Indlnns on the
