Frank P. Allen received a letter
from Lamar Tuesday morning, stat
ing that the Koen ditch on the north
side would be extended as far east
as the state line, providing the farm
ers along the line OF ditch will give
them the proper inducements. That
is, they want the farmers to take wa
ter rights at so much an acre. We
are unable to state at the present
time, what their price is per acre for
water rights, but will certainly be no
more than the usual price over the
state. We will try and give the num-
Der of acres of water rights they ex
pee. to sell before building the ditch
together with price per acre, terms,
and etc Water is now running in
the ditch to point FIVE miles east of
Lamar and by the farmers taking
hold of this matter at once. they can
secure water by the LIST, of June, in
plenty time to water their crop. The
company will furnish bond to have
the ditch completed at = certain time

Last week a man stepped up to us
and SAID he would pay me every cent
he owed me if he lived until Satur-
day night. l presume the man died.
Another man SAID he would pay me
in day or two as sure as he was
born. Query-did the man lie or
was he ever born? Another said he
would settle up as sure as shooting. l
come to the conclusion that shooting
is uncertain. Another said he hoped
to go to the devil if he did not pay
me in three days. Haven't seen hin
since; supposed he has gone, but I
trust he has not hoped in vain. Quite
a number said they would see me to-
morrow. These have been stricken
blind or else tomorrow has never
come. One man told me six months
ago he would pay me when he got
some money. The man would not
lie so of course he has not had cent
since. l am now satisfied that there
are many drawbacks and uncertain
ties in this world in the newspaper
business.-Yuma Pioneer.

The outdoor costume of the Per
sian women who dwell in towns con-
sists of sheet Of cotton or silk two
and half yards long by two yards
wide; it is dyed deep blue with in
digo. The chadur, or veil, among
the wealthy, may cost as much as Go
or &c, and among the fashionable is
often trimmed with delicate fiimy
fringe of gold thread upon three
sides OF it. Lady Haberton's inven.
ton of the divided skirt has been the
fashion among Persian women from
time immemorial. 1t generally,
among the middle class, reaches Just
below the knee. The wealthy wear
1t considerably shorter, while the vii
lage women and the dwellers in tents
allow it to discend to their ankles.
When sbe is about to go abroad the
Persian woman puts on couple of
long, pillow-case like bags of long
cloth, died OF some very bright color,
which are provided with shaped ex-
,remities. like stocking feet, of the
same material. They are fastened at
the waist 10y a girdle, and when put
on resemble pair of pillow-cases,
with foot at the extremity Of each.
The feet of Persian women are the
smallest in the world. She thrusts
them into pair o. higb-heeled slip
pers, places the center of the untrim-
med edge of the chadur over her
forehead, and then draws over her
head the long white outer veil of fine
linen, four feet long and two feet
vide. There is an aperture in this
veil one inch deep and three inches
across. this aperture is covered by a
patch of delicate embroidery, which
enables her to see without being
seen. This is the outdoor costume
of the Persian woman; it is an abso-
lutte disguise, and effectually conceals
her identity. III is probably the mos,
hideous outdoor costume in the
world, and Its effect is absolutely
ehastly, resembling nothing so much
as the frightful costumes worn by
the brothers of the Misericordia in
Italy. 1t is expensive, ugly, uncom-
Portable, hot in summer, cold in win
ter; its exceeding folly IL probably
