IRRIGATION BY THE GOVERNMENT A Glorious Future Is in Sight for Arid America. The reclamation of arid America through government construction of irrigation works will furnish for years to come an effective outlet for the industrious surplus population of the congested east. The irrigation sections of the west present almost ideal rural conditions. The tendency is, where water is used for farming, to subdivide land into small individual holdings, which give to a community a prosperity and stability not found in larger farming districts nor in cities. This is not a new idea. But while this is being done the people of the entire United States will become so educated on irrigation matters and irrigation methods that there will be a general spreading eastward of the irrigation idea, which will eventually result in the subdivision of great numbers of large eastern and southern farms and plantations which are now farmed without thought of artificial water supply into smaller irrigated farms. Never a season goes by even in the best watered districts of the rain belt that there is not some period of plant growth where the judicious application of water would very greatly increase the yield, and in some years double and treble it. It takes only a year of excessive drought among eastern farmers to get them talking about irrigation, but little comes of it for the reason that they are entirely unfamiliar with irrigation methods and have no idea how to go about the practice of supplementing the natural water supply. The irrigation, then, of the 100 million acres of western plains and valleys, while it will create innumerable small rural homes of five, ten, twenty or thirty acres each, will serve further to encourage subdivision of large areas in the east and south and tend to make the small farm and home a general rule throughout the entire country. Under wise administration arid America has a glorious future. With her countless small farms and rural homes, communities where people live in the open air, till the soil with their hands, and yet enjoy the privileges and advantages of the city, she will prove the sheet anchor of the republic in any time of national peril, while from her well-distributed same idea of schools and newspapers. Among the most interesting and practical papers read at the annual meeting of the Missouri State Teachers' Association, which has just closed in this city, was one by Prof. W. H. Lynch of Mountain Grove, on the daily use of the newspaper in the routine of instruction. A little reflection will show that a good newspaper is an attractive manual in numerous respects. From day to day the leading news features shift rapidly about the world, and to follow them is an extensive training in geography. In history the current dispatches are interwoven with the annals of the past and the achievements of the near future. Newspaper readers absorb an endless amount of information about the government under which they live and about international affairs. The march of science and invention is followed closely. Coming forth with a fresh issue each morning, the daily newspaper is necessarily the first to place every advance in knowledge before the world. Geography relating to the United States is a far more extensive study than it was a dozen years ago, and every child properly trained must give it more time. By no other means can the cardinal principles of general politics be implanted in the minds of the young as surely as by the study of the columns of a respectable and liberally managed newspaper. The character of the newspaper must, of course, be duly considered. What is called mere sensation is manifestly unit for notice in connection with study in school. If crime is referred to at all in the class-room, it can only be as a diseased social condition and warning. Every newspaper, like every citizen, should be patriotic to the core. In this respect children are, by a noble intuition, the aptest of pupils. Newspapers cannot be published as text-books, but if their tone is sound and matter carefully prepared and accurate, they unquestionably contain much that will profitably occupy a share of the time of pupils beginning to think for themselves. Evidently the future of the United States is to be marked by periodical expansion, and the American child's store of world knowledge must be broadened. In a few years the school children of 1903 will be settling the affairs of which the events of today are forerunner. No severer criticism could be passed. UTAH'S MAMMOTH IRRIGATION Largest in the World—Supplies Warehouse; Irrigating 20,000 to 30,000 Acres. "The irrigation pumping pumps the outlet of Utah lake, Utah the largest, if not the largest plant in the world, is completed plant was built by several cannies controlling the waters with irrigation purposes in the Great Lake valley. "Utah lake is 30 miles from Lake City and covers an area 375 square miles. Its principal supply is the streams flowing in Spanish and American Fork Provo canyon, together with smaller streams which only flow in spring months. Its only source is the Jordan river, which flows Salt Lake City, emptying into Salt Lake. "By agreement of owners adjoining Utah lake the seven companies have acquired their raise the waters of this lake inches above low water mark as the compromise level. At the water in the lake is lower any time in its known history a result is inadequate to meet made by the farmers upon their irrigation canals. "Foreseeing this during this tion months, and to save several acres of this year's standing Utah & Salt Lake Canal South Jordan Canal Co., and to Jordan Irrigation Co., who take from the west side of the East Jordan Irrigation Co., Salt Lake Corporation (repeats Salt Lake canal company supplying the city of Staking water out of the east river), decided to build a plant at the head of the Jord for the purpose of pumping water of the lake into the Jordan river giving the several canal sufficient water for the farmer Lake valley. The above for years have been joint Utah lake, and that right hailed from court by right of long." "The plant as constructed of four 40-inch double-suction low-running centrifugal pump Byron Jackson type, fed w production of 40 inches diameter nating in a 40-inch discharge pump has a discharge of 100 while it will create innumerable small rural homes of five, ten, twenty or thirty acres each, will serve further to encourage subdivision of large areas in the east and south and tend to make the small farm and home a general rule throughout the entire country.

With her countless small farms and rural homes, communities where people live in the open air, till the soil with their hands, and yet enjoy the privileges and advantages of the city, she will prove the sheet anchor of the republic in any time of national peril, while from her will radiate eastward the same idea of the division of the large into small farms and the utilization of the stream and the pond in making certain an increasing and oftentimes unreliable crop. Guy E. Mitchell. The Spirit o Winter The Spirit of Winter is with us, making its presence known in many different ways—sometimes by cheery sunshine and glistening snowy lands and sometimes by driving winds and blinding storms. To many people it seems to take a delight in making bad things worse, for rheumatism twists harder, twinges sharper, catarrh becomes more annoying, and the many symptoms of scrofa are developed and aggravated. There is not much poetry in this, but there is truth, and it is a wonder that more people don't get rid of these alliments. The medicine that cures them—Hood's Sarsaparilla—is easily obtained and there is abundant proof that its cures are radical and permanent. WHICH ONE WAS HE? "Hello, my dear!" he exclaimed, greeting the prettiest girl on the veranda. "I've just come in on the train, and I'm delighted to meet you again." "I—I'm afraid—" she stammered "Why, don't you remember me?" he asked in surprise. "I met you here last season. You fell in love with me and we were engaged for two weeks." "Your face does seem familiar," she said, as they seated themselves in a secluded nook, "but I can't just place you." "I came up here in the hope of meeting you again and renewing our old ties," he pleaded. "I can't give you any hope," she returned; "not just yet. You see, my love-making last season was rather disastrous. I was engaged three times. The first one palmed himself off as a count. He raised false hopes in my heart, but I've got over that. The second fooled me on a paste engagement ring. I've forgiven him that, for he was jolly company. But the third—ob he was a heartless wretch! When he was going away he told me had lost his return ticket, and I lent him six dollars and forty cents. I thought he was the soul of honor, but he never paid me back. I hadn't a cent of pin-money left, and I swore that if I ever met him again he'd have to make good."—Smart Set. A Cure for Lumbago W. C.

"Loaned her your boy?" "Precisely. She was to have him a week on her solemn promise to confine herself entirely to moral suasion." "Did she keep her promise?"

Zola has agreed to come to the United States and discuss 15 lectures, relating probably anti-Semitism in France and to the treaty of Dreyfus and himself. The arrangement is asserted to have been made with Mr. Edmund Gerson of New York and have followed immediately upon the decision of the French government to grant M. Zola an appeal from the sentence of imprisonment lately pronounced upon him. An interesting detail of his report is that a sum approaching $60,000 is promised to M. Zola for his visit. One could wish perhaps that detail had been omitted. M. Zola would undoubtedly excite great interest here and would draw full houses, but he most interests Americans at present in his character, lately assumed, of patriot and protestant against prejudice and injustice, and interest based on grounds of that sort is hardly suitable for conversion into cash. It is possible, however, that his recent experiences have been costly, and that he has more than ordinary need of money.—Harper's Weekly. Not Used to Fragile Pieces.

"THE IRRIGATION PUMPING PLANT AT THE OUTLET OF Utah Lake, Utah, one of the largest, if not the largest pumping plant in the world, is completed. This plant was built by several canal companies controlling the waters used for irrigation purposes in the Great Salt Lake valley. Utah lake is 30 miles from Salt Lake City and covers an area of about 5 square miles. Its principal source of supply is the streams flowing from the Spanish and American Forks and Grovo canyon, together with a few smaller streams which only flow during the spring months. Its only outlet is the Jordan river, which flows through Salt Lake City, emptying into Great Salt Lake. By agreement of owners of lands joining Utah lake the several canal companies have acquired the right to raise the waters of this lake 3 feet, 3 inches above low water mark, known as the compromise level. At present the water in the lake is lower than at any time in its known history, and as result is inadequate to the demand made by the farmers upon the several irrigation canals. Foreseeing this during the irrigation months, and to save several thousand acres of this year's standing grain, the Utah & Salt Lake Canal Co., the South Jordan Canal Co. and the North Jordan Irrigation Co., who take water from the west side of the river; the East Jordan Irrigation Co. and the Salt Lake Corporation (representing the Salt Lake canal companies), the latter supplying the city of Salt Lake) taking water out of the east side of the river, decided to build a pumping plant at the head of the Jordan river for the purpose of pumping the waters of the lake into the Jordan river, thus giving the several canal companies sufficient water for the farmers of Salt Lake valley. The above companies for years have been joint owners in Utah lake, and that right has the sanction of court by right of long usage. The plant as constructed consists of four 40-inch double-section, special low-running, centrifugal pumps of the Byron Jackson type, fed with a Y.P. section of 40 inches diameter, terminating in a 40-inch discharge. Each pump has a discharge of 100 cubic feet." FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and Resources on this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 41 miles from the foothills, and 148 feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit canery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant." The plant as constructed consists of four 40-inch double-suction, special low-running, centrifugal pumps of the Byron Jackson type, fed with a Y.P. suction of 40 inches diameter, terminating in a 40-inch discharge. Each pump has a discharge of 100 cubic feet per second, under a 6-foot, 5-inch head. The pumps are primed by a vacuum pump driven by a 5 H.P. motor. Each pump is driven independently by a 100 H.P. Westinghouse type, 'C' induction motor, operated at 580 revolutions per minute, provided with auto-starters. Power is furnished by the Salt Lake City Water & Power Co., whose plant is 12 miles distant. The current is transmitted at a potential of 16,000 volts, to the motors at 500 volts, through Westinghouse step-down transformers of 170 K.W. capacity each. "The pumping plant is about 300 yards from the lake outlet. A new channel has been cut from the river and the pumps placed directly in the channel on a platform having piles as a base. A dam was constructed across the stream, the pumps raising the water in the river at their outlet about 3 feet higher than it was at the intake. Six gates west of the pumps prevent the water from flowing back into the lake. These may be raised when the lake level is higher, so that the river may take its natural flow. "At the time that the first two pumps were installed in the early part of August the river's flow was little more than necessary for the farmers' domestic requirements. An official measurement of the lake recently made gave the level at 3 feet, 9 inches below compromise point, which is 3 feet, 1 inch below low-water mark. J. Holdsworth, who has taken the measurements for the past three years, says that but for the pumps the bed of the river would be dry. "The pumps are supplying water for 20,000 to 30,000 acres of land, which would be practically worthless were it not for the Utah lake supply. It is estimated that the partial saving of the beet crop, the making of a third crop of alfalfa and the saving of trees in Salt Lake county this season has almost paid for the pumps. "The practical success of the pumps is not doubted, and barring the institution of an injunction suit threatened by the owners of land bordering the lake, the beneficial effect of providing a largely increased flow of water from the canals will be felt by all the farmers in the valley. "The city of Salt Lake is to pay 25 percent of the cost of the plant, to provide for the wear and tear of the machinery, the amount thus paid to apply on the purchase price of the plant. The city is also to pay one-fourth of operating expenses, about $200 per month, and the interest on the investment—the city to receive one-fourth of the water pumped into the Jordan. "The work of construction was under the supervision of F.P. Keisey, engineer for the canal companies, F. Langsten in charge of the construction of plant and T.E. Daniels, electrical engineer for the power company. The total cost of the plant is $50,000."—C.W. Arthur in Pacific Rural Press. Miss D.

The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties: No farms Acres: Los Angeles: 8577: 860-663 Orange: 2286: 596-436 Riveride: 2244: 427-097 San Bernardino: 2350: 219-132 San Diego: 2985: 809-419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties: Acres: Los Angeles: 85-644 Orange: 22-947 Riveride: 32-947 San Bernardino: 37-877 San Diego: 16-022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055, and that of San Diego, 840 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this junibo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. Rev. Carlile P. B. Morton, LL.D. Waverly, Texas, writes: "Of a morning, when first rising, I often find a troublesome collection of phlegm which produces a cough, and is very hard to dislodge; but a small quantity of Ballard's Horehound Syrup will at once dislodge it, and the trouble is over.

THE FIRST STEP Of the child is an event in the mother's life. How proud she feels when the attempt to walk is begun so early as to evidence childish courage and sturdy strength. Such pride should be enjoyed by every mother. But it often happens that the child is timid, weak and deficient in vitality, and clings to the mother's arms with no desire to walk or play. Mothers should learn that to have strong children they must themselves be strong, for the child's strength is the gift of the mother. The use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription by expectant mothers gives them health and strength to give their children. It nourishes the nerves, strengthens the body and gives great muscular strength and elasticity, so that the baby's advent is practically painless. "I have been using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and can say it is just what you advertise it to be, and can cheerfully recommend it." writes Mrs. Victor J. Hadin of Leonardville, Riley Co., Kansas. "I began taking it just two months before baby came and was greatly benefited by its use." The doctor who attended me said I did about as well as any one he had seen (as I was sick only about three hours), and also that your 'Favorite Prescription' was 'the one patent medicine' which he did have faith in. "We now have a darling baby boy, strong and healthy, who weighed nine pounds when born (July 25th). During this month he has gained three and one-half pounds." "Favorite Prescription" makes weak women strong, sick women well. Accept no substitute for the medicine which works wonders for weak women.

Several years before the discovery of oil at Pithole an Irishman named McCarthy and his son Dan came to this country from the Emerald Isle. Dan was a young man of 20, but his father looked upon him as a mere boy and seemed to take delight in ridiculing him before people. "Yis, Dan is a good bly," he would say sarcastically, "but, Danny, me bly, yez'll niver set the river on fire." This was his stock wittierian, and it annoyed Dan very much, but he did his best and soon surprised the old gentleman by scouring a lucrative job. "Yis, Danny has a job all right," he said. "It's $1.50 a day, but the bly'll niver set the river on fire. Not he." When oil was found at Pithole, Dan harried to the scene and was soon earning unusually large wages as a teamster. All the petroleum was drawn in barrels, and teams were in great demand. He saved his money, bought an acre of land and soon had a well drilled that was producing 100 barrels of oil per day at $10 per barrel. The elder McCarthy joined him, saw the well, received a liberal gift of money, and then shock his head ominously. "Tis a good thing, Danny," he croaked; "ye're doin well, but mark me worruns, yez'll niver set the river on fire place remember that Oi had a chance wanst, and—and didn't do nut, bedad!" Then he blow out the match.—Harper's Bazar. Vegetarians In History.

It is evident from Arrian and Porphyry that vegetarian orders of men were well known in their time and that they were found in India in the time of Alexandria. They existed in different orders long before the time of Jesus in Egypt, Syria, etc., and were known by the names of Essenians, Esseneees, Esyans, Cosnobites and Faithists, etc., and those on Mount Carmel of whom Liljah, the prophet, was the chief rabail, described by Pliny, were known as Carmelites. Whatever the name, the principles were all the same—all were vegetarian. The Masonic order had its origin these ancient brotherhoods without doubt. All the Masonic emblems of today were known to these brotherhoods, so also their passwords. A Bad Scholar. The master of an elementary school in England sent a circular to the parents of some of the pupils under his charge stating that judicious corporal punishment often had a beneficial effect on backward boys and asking if they would approve of such a course when he considered it necessary. The following is one of the replies he got: Der sir I have reserved ur flogeling sirkler and u hav My sankshen too wolup My sun Jhon ass much ass u lik I no Jhon is a vary bad skolar his spaleng is simpely atroshes I hav trid to tech him Myslif but he will not lern nothing so I hop u will bet it intow him as much ass u kan Urs truley.
