Speaking of the report that Sec retary Root may succce.1 Thomas Collier I'lutt in the senate, a Wash ington dispute)) suys: "The ndimiiistnUion may need to trctiKthcn its force in the MMintc. The new hostility to the president tlmt lia dc eloped in the senate Miicc the tojtn uinj 01 the tircK-iit wnsioit of colore gives catux tor tiecd.

As hisupptirter'in t)ie sen ate, Mr. Root would be a mighty power." Why is it that lb cm: able states- men in the senate are determined to fight the president? Determined to fight policies advocated by him and which the abltst trinds.of the country agree are for the nation'. good. Is it a sign that the United -States senate is no longer represen tative of the people? Must we be forced to believe as is so often said of late that the senate is ab solutely owned and controlled by the corporations. No good will come fr&ni mincing matters. It is well known that since Roosevelt took the presiden tial chair, his fight against corrup tion and greed against rotten and diseased meat, against unlawful re bates, against violations of the anti trust law in fact, his fight for the rights of the people, has been a struggle with a recalcitrant con gress, with the senate leading the opposition. Whenever a law regu lating present-day abuses is intro duced, it excites the immediate at tack of those "able statesmen," and it requires the keenest attention of its friends to prevent the law from being rendered ineffective by the in sertion of some subtle clause. There seems to be but little rea son to expect relief from either of the two great parties, at least as represented at the present time in congress. Republicans and demo crats alike are deep in the mud of corporation control. More and more the belief is spreading that re lief from a corporation-ridden con gress can come only from the action o the people and that the election of senators must be put into the hands of the voters. The exasperating opposition of congress to the meritorious meas ures advocated by congress is most deplorable. But there is one un failing hope, and that is the firm 1 belief that the American people are great enough to correct this present glaring evil in their government. Quantity of Water to Apply Irrigation. 1'rom "I'rurtkul Inrormattun ft tollmen) in litigation ' The application of four inchest of water in depth over the Mtrfaee of a field 011 which plants are growing lairly well is sufficient to moisten the soil to a depth of four feet, pro viding it is evenly distributed with out loss. In practice a lurnur vol ume is required if it is desired to moisten the soil to tliN depth. This difference between theory and prac tice is readily explained. In irri gating in the usual way the top layer of soil receives far too much water. A part of this seeps into the second and third feet, a part passes off into the air in the form of vapor, and the balance remains in the top layer or is utilized by the plants. Now, in this process of distribution from the .surface down ward there is a large amount wast ed. The greatest loss of water is from the surface of moist soil into the air. Thus experiments have shown that if the surface is kept moist for four days alter the water is first turned on, from one to three inches in denth over the surface will be lost by evaporation. If the .oil is saturated thf loss will ap proach the higher figure, but if the oi! is only moist it will ranrc near er the lower figure. There is m further loss of water as it seeps downward Some subsoils are sandy or gravelly and the water, in tead of being held in the upper tour feet, may go much deeper and soon pass beyond the deepest roots and be lost. Other fields may have a stiff clay subsoil which will not .illow the water to pass through it The effect of tlis is to hold the wa ter near the surface until the great er part is evaporated Consider able quantities of water may be al lowed to run off to other fields when they are lwing irrigated. Hence it follows that for liuht irri gations, where the soil is moistened to a depth of iS inches, from two to three inches of water over the sur face would be plenty, but so great is the loss from the causes named that four to six inches are required. Similarly for heavy irrigations and for deep-rooted plants like alfalfa. six inches of water over the surface would convert fairly dry soil to moist soil to a depth of' four feet, providing there was no loss, but on account of the various ways in which water may be wasted the amount required frequently exceeds nine inches in depth over the sur face. Cultivation essential. In localities where water is cheap and plentiful it may mntter little, as regards the annual cost of the water, whether a farmer uses six inches at each irrigation or 12 inches. The effect of the proper use of water, however, will soon be ap parent in the yield of crops and the fertility of the soil. It should be understood from the start that irri gation water can not take the place of cultivation. The labor and skill of the husbandman are needed even more in .111 arid than in a humid climate. Rooutcd uiuls have- shown that excellent crops of all kinds can be grown with a medium amount of water, provided the soil is well cul tivated and the water rightly applied. Cultivation and Irrigation. A correspondent writing to the Pacific Homestead Mates several points that are of vital importance to irrigators. His letter reads: "North Yakima, Washing ton It has lieen a grand year for crop production in Yakima Valley I make a specialty of onions, and mv onion crop this year is the fin est I have ever grown. I said "speciality"; I mean in a small way sufficient for a market garden er's home sales. My early potatoes were the finest I have ever grown, and there are few things produced in central Washington but were No 1 This speaks well for the skillful methods adopted by the farmers generally. They are learn ing how to fertilize, to irrigate, to cultivate. Men who four years ago gave little thought to the need of keeping up the strength of soil by carefully fertilizing, are now hauling manure from the town stables to their farms and some quite a distance. Men who four years ago soaked their crops to death, simply liecause they hail the water and thought they must use it. have learned better, and are be ing well rewarded for it. They have also learned that thorough and repeated cultivation is. man times, equivalent to irrigation, and sometimes more necehury. The fruit men are also awakeniui; to the necessity of fertilizing their orchards. Ther must have lieeu n wonderful amount of fertility in our native sage brush soil to endure .so long, and produce so much, with so little added food. When I see certain orchards pro ducing year after year loads of fruit bending the houghs to the ground, and no sign of fertilizing, I wonder where they" get their strength to do it; but here is one loop hole "a clew" as the detective would say. Irrigation must carry with it a great deal of fertility The streams coming down from the mountains and hills are daily and hourly cur rying along bits of decayed wood, leaves, grass, and distributing them near the root of vegetation.

Wednesday night we received no railroad mail at all, it having missed connections somewhere along the line.
