HIS RUN OF HARD LUCK.
There comes from New York s tale
of penary that Is of more than com
mon interest, ? "Last week occurred In
that city the death of Col. Asa, P.'SUn,
ford, brother of the late Iceland Stan
ford, and the latest accounts were that
the widow of this man was trying to
beg or I borrow one hundred dollars
or borrow s one.
wherewith to pay his funeral expenses.
- Once Asa P. Stanford was prosperous
and rich. During twenty-five years
prior to his brother's death he was the
recipient of a, thousand dollar per
month, i Hut this was no charity. It
was paid to him under the terms of an
agreement whereby be' relinquished his
Southern Pacific, holdings. These pay
ments were to cease at the Alms of Ice
land Stanford's death, and they did. In
fact, stop short at that rime.

Stanford's will. When the executors
i'istrlbuted ithe estate, however, only
$25,000 in cash went to Asa P. Stanford
the balance came In the shape of his
own canceled notes held by Leland
Stanford for moneys advanced. This
Inheritance of $25,000 Stanford entrusted
to one of his sons. He never saw the
money again, and f the story printed fin

OLD HOME WEEK.

SOMEWHAT UNJUST.
For one thing, the West Is liable to
get benefit out of one phase of the po
litical situation. The exigencies of the
hour prompt, many of the i. Republican
organs in the East to linger with ad
miration over the irrigation poIicyTor

v That very, .newspaper, along "with
many other "East erfi publications In its
class, scoffed at national projects for
Irrigation not-Jong ago.- The proposi
tion for-a nitionaK appropriation for
irrigation was- denounced by them, and
the very suggestion of anything of the
kind was summarily written down as
a piece of impudence on the part of the
West. President Roosevelt knew
thing or two on this score. He realized
the merit of the suggestion ' that the
Government address Itself to the irri
gation 'problem, i His attitude, set forth
in his first message to Congress, was
an innovation " and a surprise; it's a
caution how rapidly several of the Re

himself. . - : , : ' ' ' V :

Our able Montana exchange is Just a
bit unjust. The change of sentiment in
the East concerning irrigation .was
prompted largely by a new idea , that
took root there a' few1 years ago. This
idea had ! nothing to .do with polities.
When, the proposition of spending mil
lions of Government money in .irrigat
ing arid lands was first broached a cry
of protest went up. At first blush it
seemed to tne -Easterner an outlandish
proposition. :;It seemed, to- himt 'the

was a chance to at once extend Indefin

can market In the
reclaimed desert
lands would demand very large supplies
of the things turned out by the Eastern
manufacturers. . One new farmer on a
tract of this land would be worth a
thousand or ten thousand Chinamen,
with 'tastes and customs "uncultivated

THE STRAIN OF OVER-STUDY.

From the congress of mothers at

the children of the country are being
strained by over-study. "We are too

: This idea is correct, as a. general

the little ones will go ahead In pro

Naturally they will--say, rather, nat
