organs were undermined and death

she coughed necessarily and could not

THE IRRIGATION PROBLEM
Secretary Mohler's Plan for Testing
the Feasibility of Reservoir

Secretary Mothers Plan for Testing
the Feasibility Of Reservoir
Irrigation.
The irrigation question is one that is
agitating the minds of western citizens,
and not only of these but of eastern citi-
zens, the state legislatures of western
states and congress. Artesian wells and
reservoirs are the main schemes talked of
for obtaining water for distribution over
the thirsty fields at proper times. It rains
in western Kansas and eastern Colorado
not only rains but pours down-but not
at season of the year desired for the
growing of crops.
Secretary Mohler has on foot plan
now for testing the feasibility of reservoir
irrigation. The plan is to see how much
of the water so held will evaporate in a
given time. For this purpose three large
square galvanized iron pans have been
made and will be filled with water and
fleated by means of hollow tubes fastened
to the sides. These will be placed in three
different parts of the state, one out on the
high plain traversed by the Union Pacific;
another in the southwestern part of the
state, and third in the eastern part of
the state. They will be put in large res
ervoirs, and the evaporation thoroughly
tested. If it is found that the evaporation
is so slight as not to effect materially the
amount Of water contained in the reser-
voirs, then the plans will be made for the
construction of such tanks.
The matter is very important, especially
to the people of the western half of the
state, and should the plan prove sue
cessful one, the greatest agricultural
problem of the age is solved.-Kansas

"There's a field for our girls in
architecture, Pm sure" said a school
teacher the other day, ''and wonder
more of them don't try it. l am sor-
nv l did not, instead of falling into this
prosaic fate for old maids, the profess
sion of a school-ma'am. Are not peO-
pie always dining into the ears of
girls who want to strike out for them
selves that woman's province is the
home? Why should she not design
the home, then? Has she not special
knowledge of the necessities and the
conveniences of the house, which men
in general know little of, and which
so few even of the best architects seem
to possess? As to office building or
large public edifices, churches, ETC.,
probably men always would do better
than women, since men, rs rule,
seem to take broader views; but de-
tails are woman's strength, while the
tendency of men to lump things often
entails Inconvenience upon the house,
holders at the expense of good gen.
eral appearance. l understand that
already the gulf between the pro-
LESSONS of architect and decorator is
being bridged rapidly. The best archi-
| tects now lay their plans with view
to the decoration of the building and
the best decorators study interior
architecture. and in this combination
a woman of taste and talent should
certainly excel. One great difficulty,
of course, in her way would be the
management of workmen, but, if she
had the brains to evolve the plan,
| plenty of men would be found, either
as partner or employe, to see the plan
| carried out. Some training in a
/ 10 o~I o1a,.IyshtT1 in a
| architects office would soon decide
the question whether the girl possessed
any marked ability in this line oil
NOT. "--Ne1y York Tribune,

western Lakes Drying I'm.

The lakes in eastern Oregon, as
well as in Nevada are drying up. In
some instances the water in the lakes
Is Subslding because the streams which
empty into them have been diverted
from their natural channels for pur.
poses of irrigation, but the continuous
drought, doubtless had much to dc
with the low stage of water in them.
The Herald, published in the new
county of Harvey. Oregon, says not
over four square miles of the original
bed of Warner lake is now covered
with water, whereas in 1865 there
was seven feet of water where the
land is now dry. and last spring a
stack containing 400 tons of hay WAS
burned on land which in 1874 was
surveyed as Warner Lake Goose
Lake, which once reached Lakeview,
Oregon, is now five miles away, and
Malheur lake, in Harvey county, is
eight feet lower than at any period
within the memory of the oldest in
habitant- In this county Humboldt
lake, which some years ago comprised
a sheet of water sixteen or eighteen
miles long and from eight TO twelve
miles wide, is now only a few miles
long and perhaps a mile or two wide.
The Humboldt has not discharged any
water into the lake for several years,
and large area which was COVERED
several feet with water at one time is
now dry as any other part of the Hum
boldt valley. 1t is a fact, however,
that the lake was as low nine or ten
years ago as il is to-day, aud that five
years ago it was as high as it was ever
known to be. Immigrants in early
days who saw the Humboldt discharge
an immense volume of water into the
lake, or sink. as it was called, believed
it had subterranean outlet; but that
.dea was erroneous, as the volume of
water was reduced by evaporation, not
drainage. HtaneBlUccG SiEUer State.
