Corn Cheaper Fuel than Coal.

Chicago Tribune: ''Some people seem
to he horrliied when they hear OF corn
being used for fuel" said Frank e.
Walker, OF Manhattan, Kan, who was
at the fremont House. Now, if corn
is cheaper than coal. what possible
objection can there be to using it for
fuel? \ Kansas farmer can get l3
cents for bushel OF corn. Let us see;
that is $50 for ton. To get that
he may have to haul his com six or
eight miles to market. Ii he buys
coal, lac will pay from 81 to - a ton,
aud haul 1t the six or eight miles back
home. The matter simply comes
down To the question OF how he can
yet the most elective iuel for 81. You
could hardly expert a farmer TO pay II
bonus i'm order that lac might burn
coal. ii he could get the heat some
other way. Corn AT $50 ton l.
cheaper fuel than coal at - ton,
and. besides. u has in its favor the
fact that the farmer ha~ the corn at
home There l. no more reason for
an objection to burning corn than
there j. to burning wood.

SOMETHING ABOUT STAMPS.
When They Were First Used in This Coun-
try for Paying Postage

Next year will he the fiitieth ami
versary of the introduction OF stamps
for paying postage upon letters. The
invention is due to Printer James
Chalmers OF Dundee, who died i'm s53,
and who finally with his system, the
adhesive postage stamp, conquered
the whole civilized world. England
fifty years ago introduced the postage
stamp, and according to n decree of
Dec. 2l, 1899, issued the first stamps
for public use on May q, 1910.
a year later they were introduced in
the United States OF North America
and Switzerland, and again, few
years later, in Bavaria, Belgium and
France. One of the most important
and valuable collection OF postage
ST amps is in the German Imperial
PostOflice Museum, which contains
10000 postage stamps and other
postal delivery devices.
In 1853 Benjamin Franklin was APP
pointed deputy postmaster general OF
the American colonies. and in 1850
startled the people by II proposition

tween New York and Philadelphia

AN IRRIGATION SCHEME.
One Method of Retaining the Arid Land in
the West

a Washington special to the Pioneer
Press, Feb. 20, says, Mai Powell, OF
the geological survey, has prepared IA
bill which will soon he introduced in
both houses providing Tor preliminary
work for irrigation of the arid lands OF
the west. Ii contemplates n survey OF
the arid region and the division into
districts by hydroeraphic basins, each
basin consisting of the streams and
tributaries which they drain and which
may be made available for watering
the lands Each basin is to have u
local government similar to "a count Y
government. enablin. -ett crs in each
to control their affairs subject only to
the United states laws. There are
also provisions for the coi poration oi
city authorities with the district oili-
GERS. An objection to one feature oi
the bill j. that the basin di>tricts :
would not he confined To one state
ana one district may he composed oi
parts of two states. This point Is de-
laying the report on the bill. II iur-
ther provides that settlers may OBJ
tain their Landry homesteads. retain
ownership of waters within their dis
trict, levy tax, mortgage their land to
companies who shall furnish money
for irrigation and do all other things
that may be necessary in connect ion
with fertilization. The bill will pro
vide that after a certain number al
years, during which the irrieatlng com
pany shall he paid for it, surveys. its
rights shall cease, ANA reservoirs, can
ais and other works pass into th'
| hands and become the property o
settlers themselves. Federal govern
ment simply designates reservoirs

TOM POWER OF MONTANA,

Pioneer Press.
Mar. t'ease. the veteran fur trader o'

IN st. Paul, and from him an inter
viewer gathered a few facts about Il.
e.. Power, Republican enator-elect
u was in the autumn OF ls62 that
Mai. Pease was running down the Mis-
souri, river from Berthold to Sioux
City. Upon his arrival at Fort Pierre
he met one Clark Thompson, who told
him he was looking for a location for
the Santee Indians. and asked him to
find IA man down below who could run
out reservation for them. Maj.
pease promised to look after the mat
ter. and later on. further down the
river. met Tom Power for the first
time. Tom was IA young man then,
about twerty->iX years old. hut even
at that early stage Oi his life gave
promise Of future greatness. trit and
shrewdness were his most important
characteristics, and are the cause %.
his success Owing to this accident al
meet ing bet tween Pease and Power the
/ latter was selected to survey the reser-
walton, known as the Crow Creek.
This was the first important act in
Tom Powers life. pn his arrival at
! Yankton with Mai. Pease he found
that his partner had left tor ''foreign
parts" without even showing consider
nj ION enough to leave he merchandise
or the money of the firm Of Power X
- behind him. The small amount
OF money which he could raise on his
credit Power gave to Maj. Pease. who
bought goods at Council Bluffs. This
was the beginning of n firm friendship
between the two men, which has never
been broken. In fact, Mr.. Power has
had many business partners in his
life. and all. without exception, are
to-day his steadiast and uncompro-
missing friends. Born on ranch near
Dubuque, a self-made and sell-educated
typical westerner, true to the Ameri-
can impulse to succeed IN business,
and at the same time true to his
friends, honorable in business and
faithful to every trust, It's no wonder
that his Republican friends chose him
as one OF the senators to represent the
state where his name was so well known
and his reputatiou established. lie
represents no special city, but Il spoken
OF as y. L. Power OF Montana. Maj
Pease speaks very enthusiastically %

Tingle's idea L. to dig "a ditch some
thing over 20 miles in length from
Ferry Point on the Iellowst one to Il
point on the Missouri, OF u capacity
sufficient to irrigate 2OO.OOO acres of
land. At present this land is practi-
cally valueless for farming purposes.
Ii the system of irrigaiing were ope-
ratin: the claim il made that 1000
people could make their homes on he
land irrigated. The company wants
the government and the Northern
Pacific road to make donations oi

wants from the United States a grant
OF one-half of the public domain
within the boundaries OF the proposed
ditch and the Yellowstone river, and
it asks the Northern Pacific to grant
