A scheme of Imperial Federation Suggested
for the British Empire.

EprNBURG, Jan. 26.-The government high
commissioner for Canada, referring to the re-
lations OF the rich colonies to the empire,
said it was doubtful whether as the colonies
increased in material power, they would con-
tinue satisfied. Their present position of
separation, he said, was neither necessary
nor desirable. He suggested the possibility
of cementng the whole empire by scheme
of i'm perial federation.

The Weekly State Journal.

The Weekly Edition of the Journal is
especially prepared for the demands of the
people of Indiana outside of the cities and
towns reached by the Daily. 1t is not re-
print of the Daily, but is an entirely separate
and distinct edition, under the care of an in
dependent and experienced editor. 1t con-
tains the best literary and miscellaneous
features of the Saturday Journal; but it has
exclusively prepared for its columns a COM
plete compendium of all the news of the
week, both foreign and domestic, and par
ticularly of the State of Indiana, and of tho
territory which it naturally commands. Its
market reports are carefully compiled, and its
agricultural and household departments re-
ceive particular and competent attention The
WEEKLY STATE JOURNAL will contain full
digests of the proceedings of the Legislature
and of Congress- with editorial reviews OF
the most important topics of public interest.
In all its features the WEEKLY STATE JOURNAL
is as good as any weekly newspaper printed
in the country and, of course, it is much
better fer every Indianian because of its
local news and character. Indianians are not
interested in the local news of Ohio, or of
Illinois, or of Kentucky, or of any other
State; but they are interested in the affairs
of Indiana, and these the Weekly Journal
will give them, and at the same time be as
good a general newspaper as the best. The
Weekly Journal is the paper for the Indiana
farmer. Every postmaster is an authorized
agent and will receive subscriptions for the
Journal, which can commence at any time.

terms to agents, or in writing as to advertis-
ing and subscriptions, address

The Organs.

The Organs are on the move, on the
east side. The gold strikes and the
discovery that a large number of claims
on and around Elk mountain run up
into the hundreds in gold is causing
some stir among the owners and in
vestors. Sales of interest for so much
money and 50 many feet of work are
rumored.
The surety that the Ell Paso and
White Oaks railroad will be built is
attracting investors as this means cheap
fuel. cheaper than any other camp in

enough to apply steam to keep her dry

ship ore and pay the A. T. S. T. ex-
tortions in the shape of freight and
leave something for the owners, and
a claim that can give a company more
than one-half and pay is a good one.

Johu A .Anderson has been doing con-
siderable in the way OF experimenting
on his ranch at the mouth of Dry creek
and his water-wOrks for irrigation are
well worthy Of mention. On digging a
well considerable water was encoun-
tered at a depth of t~wenty-eight feet,
Mr.. Anderson built a reservoir with
a capacity of about I.5O0 gallons and
put in a pump. The pump not being Of
sufficient size to supply the amount Of
water, Mr.. ]. T.. Hedlgon, engineer,
late of st. Charles, was put TO work to
make a chain bucket pump and horse
power, the materials furnished being
common lumber, hay wire, and one gal
Ion kerosene cans with inch rope and
betting. The result of this combi-
nation wa the production of what We
would estimate at from sixty to eighty
gallons of water per minute. The
power sufficient to raise this amount
being a medium sized pony, which on
slight provocation showed a dispo-
sition to run away, for which it may
be inferred the work was easy. The
water thus furnished has been put to
irrigating three acres. and as soon as
this amount Of ground IS thoroughly
saturated the ditch will be turned to
cover additional ground. The constant
drawing Of water has o%ccasioned a
cave in the we'll lately and the mud
filling in the bottom has interfer-
ed with the working of the buckets,
many of them from their fragile nature
having been torn away and left to
swell the debris in the bottom of the
well. The tests having been satisfac.
tory new galvanized iron buckets of
about one and a half gallon capacity
have been ordered, and the we'll will he
deepeDed and cribbed, when it is con.
fidently expected that sufficient water
can be produced to irrigate from ten to
twenty acres. This attempt is one OF
the pioneer schemes to make our rich
but poorly watered valley productive
and too much credit cannot be given
Mr.. Anderson and his assistant, Mr.
Hedigon. for their attempt to advance
this end.

rHEPLAGUEs OF HISTORY.

The threatened cholera epidemic has
called attention to the plaques recorded
in history, and glance at some of the
events may reconcile Us to a grateful
feeling for the comparative freedom
from pestilence in the late years. The
earliest plaques of which there are any
account OF, those described in Exodus,
occurred in Egypt l49l b. c. In 534 B.
c. there was plague at Carthage so
terrible that parents sacrificed their chill
dren to prOpitiate the gods. In 1871 B.
G., in the Greek Islands, Egypt, and
SlriG people died at The rate of =, 900
day. In Rome y. d. 81, 1902 per-
ems died daily. Another plague at
Rome A. ID. 25G took off 1000 a day. In
30 Britain was scourged so that the
living were hardly able to bury the dead.
During the years 7l6-7iS Constantine
pie lost 100000 Of its population. AT
Chicester, England, in 80, $4,000 PEG.
pie died, and in 954 Scotland lost 10000
reOple. Ireland was sOrely visited in
HIP and 1900, and again i'll 1889. AT
that time 2,COD people were buried daily
in London. In l4O7 London lost 80, 900
citizens. There was fearful pestilence
at Oxford in l47l. The dreadful "sweat-
ing sickness" occurred in London in
1876 and again in 1917. In most of the
towns half the people died, ard Oxford
was depopulated. In 1922 thOusands.were
swept away in Limerick. The sweat
ing sickness revisited in England in
1928 and again in lI5l. In l603.i, 3d.
57S people persisted of plaguein London.
COnstantinOple again lost 200, 900 people
i'm 1911. In 1925 London lost 80, Az in
habitants. In 1852 Lyons lost 10000.
In 165G iO0, 600 people died at Naples in
six months. In 1864 LondOn's great
plague took off GS, 500 inhabitants. In
1920 $4,000 people died at Marseilles.
In l773 10000 inhabitants of BOssOra,
Persia died of plague. In 1872 $780,
eco persons died of plague in Egypt. In
Barbary 5000 people died daily, and in
1899 247, 900 people persisted at Fee.
Asiatic cholera first appeared in Eng
land at Sunderland Oct. 26, 1881, and in
North America at Quebec June s, 1882,
and in New York June %, 1882. 1t re-
visited the United States in 1894, slight
ly in lS49, severely in 1855, and again
lightly in 1861. In 1S2930 100000
people died of cholera in Russia and
Germany. In 1889 %, 1913 people died
of it in England and Wales, and in
1854 these countries los. 25,O97, and
Naples 10000 persons. In 1865 $4,000
