fore a woman got on with 2

him finally the young girl motto
ed it and said wont you let me

ing smile at the same time taking

the baby in turn held out its
arms with a coo the young girl
held it awhile and then an old
lady came in leaning on her sons

The fnture prosperity of the peo-
Pile in the arid region and the mil
lions that this region can easily 'Be
made to support depends upon che
solution of the problem Of water
starage or the reservoir system.
There is no lack of water. The
trouble arises from the unequal aud
unreasonable distribution, and the
problem is to retain the water fall
ing in the rainy season and that
caused by the melting Of the noun
tain SHOWS in reservoirs until it is
needed for the production Of the
crops. And this problem is merely
a question Of capital first and en-
gineering skill second. The noun
taias contain the water and the
valleys the soil. Everywhere in
the mountains are natural storage
places for water that only need
walls of sufficient dimension and
strength to hold safely and surely
the great mass of water. These
reservoirs or artificial lakes, once
securely constructed, the question
of supply will be answered, and all
doubt as to the great future of ir-
rigation will be settled forever.

CnnaIgre for Tanning.

- ~~,OAAA OHSb WA SAVy >
Kan, says: As the supply of hem
lock and oak bark becomes less
plentiful and the demand for leather
increases, the question where the
necessary tannates can be obtained
grows more and more important.
Some people believe thai. the com
NOR, cea caeanaaiisre aaiisre plant lRumex hy-
menosepalus) will yet become the
chief source Of supply.
The canaigre is a Spanish plant,
resembling and closely related to
the common yellow sourdock, but
the roots are similar. to the sweet
potato. It grows from the seed,
but is best raised in the same man
ner as the Irish potato It is a
native of Southern California,
Southern New Mexico, Western
Texas and Arizona, and grows
most luxuriously in the sandy ar
royas or creek bottoms. For years
the Mexlcans and Indians have
used the green root for tanning, land
the root sliced and dried has been
found to contain from 35 to 40 per
cent. of tannic acid, three or four
times the amount found in any of
the barrlks. In recent years extern
sive experiments have been made
with it in this country, in Scotland
and in Germany, and it is said
that certain factories. stand ready
+ to buy all that is offered at, $75 a
ton in Vienna and $40 in Glasgow.
One Scotch firm, it is said, offers TO
contract for 10000 tons a year.
5sCanaigre is essentially, an arid
plant and is not injured by the
drouth heat or frost. It thrives in
any loose, sandy soil where it can
obtain sufficient moisture, and
grows in the late autumn and early
spring, after which the roots re-
main dormant and are harvested
when convenient, not being in-
jured by remaining IN the soil.
The planting is done late in the
summer, and the yield is from
twenty to twenty-five tons an
acre. The wild growth yields
about half that amount. At the
factory recently started at Deming
the managers pay $6 a ton for all
the canaigre they can get. The
factory prepares the roots like
desiccated vegetables. The dry
product is packed in bags weighing
about ninety pounds each, and is
ready for storage or shipment.
When shipped in the green the
roots are liable to become sour,
which destroys the tannic acid.
Experiments are being made
here to- determine. whether canaigre
will come up to the expectations Of
those interested in the matter. F.
D.. Ooburn, Secretary of the State
Agricultural Department at To-
peka, is doing much to settle the
problem of its a,daptability 70 the
semi-arid region of Western Kan

Three Courts-Martial,

The records of the court-martial cases of
Capt. Edwin NJ Shepard and Lieut. Charles
H. Lyman were received by Judge Advocate
General Lemly at the Navy Department
this morning. They will be reviewed by him
in order to establish the regularity Of the
proceedings in each case. after which they
will be submitted to Secretary Herbert for
his action. The action Of the latter is final,
unless the sentence involves the dismissal
of the officer. in which event 1t is a case for
the action Of the President.
Capt. Shepard, who commands the receiv-
ing ship Minnesota at New York, was
charged with conduct to the prejudice of
good order and military discipline in i'm
pugning the motives of his superior officer,
Capt. Bunce, commanding the training sta
ton at Newport, in an official communica-
was trying to make a reputation for su-
perior ability at the expense of his brother
officers. There was no dispute as to the
facts in the case, and the court which con-
Quoted the trial disposed of II in about
twenty minutes. There is very little doubt
that the court found.the officer guilty of the
charge and sentenced him to be repri-
manded by the Secretary of the Navy.
Lieut.. Lyman was the navigating officer
of the Kearsarge at the time of her wreck,
and he was tried for neglect of duty and in
efficiency on that occasion. There is no
absolute certainty as to the findings and
sentence of the court, but II is believed that
he was found guilty in part and sentenced
to period of suspension. Action in the
case of Commander Heyerman, late COM
mander of the Kearsarge, who was con-
victed of neglect of duty in connection with
the loss of that vessel, was postponed to
await the result of the trial of his brother
officer. Lieut.. Lyman. 1t is expected that
Shepard, will be disposed of by Secretary
Herbert next week.

BROOKLAND CITIZENS.
They Meet and Discuss Matters of In
terest to That Locality.

There was a good attendance at the
me citing Of the Bro okland Citizens Asso-
citation last night when it assembled in
the town hall, with President Lynch in the
chair and Mr.. F. r. Mccormick acting as
secretary. A commrrica ton from Daniel
& Armat requesting action to secure gas
oline fer that vicinity was, after eXplana-
tion, referred to the committee on lights to
ascertain how many families in Brookland
would be willing to take the gas If the
company should lay the mains to that
suburb. The subject of sewers was brought
up and discussed at some length, and the
executive committee vas instructed to con-
fer with others interested ard endeavor to
secure an appropriation of 500, 900 for that
purpose. 1t was stated that the Commits
stoners had agreed to have two lamps re-
moved from othe.. points and placed, one
at the corner of 18th and Lansing and the
other at the corner of 14th and Dover
streets, where they are most needed at
present. 1t was also stated that no new
lamps could be Obtain ed until the next
fiscal year. In the matter of sidewalks 1t
was stated that inform ation had been re-
ceived from the Commissioners that moth
ing new. except under the permit system,
could now be obtained, and that efforts
were being made to have sidewalks laid
upon two squares under the plan. The ex-
ecutive committee was instructed to call
the attention of the Commissioners to
dangerous well covering at the corner of
Providence and 18th streets. The commit
tee to whom was intrusted the duty of
ascertaning in regard to the probability
of laying the proposed water main reported
that 1t was understood that the plan had
been changed, so that now the main would
be laid along the South Brookland road
and thus avoid the necessity of purchasing
the right OF way, as had been contemplated.

COXey's Cohorts.

Michael Ryan, John Thompson and Geo.
W. Davis, strangers in the city, were in the
Police Court today for vagrancy. They were
arrested between Twining City and Benning
by Policeman Reagan.
Mr.. Julius Owens was assaulted while
walking in that vicinity. He met three men,
who demanded money of him. Upon his
refusing them they knocked him down, but
did not rob him. The men had their hats
drawn over their faces and Mr. Owens can
not identify them.
The same evening three men were seen
trying to get in the house of Mr. Gardner,
and witnesses thought these were the men.
Complaint of the conduct of the men was
made to Policeman Reagan, who arrested
them yesterday. They were brushing hay
seod from their clothing and looked as
though they had been sleeping in a barn
They denied that they were the men who
were seen at Mr.. Gardner's house and at
tempted to account for their wherea bouts
during their short stay here -
Michael Ryan made a good showing in
court this morning. He said he was a rail-
road switchman, looking for employment
and made such an impression on the court
that his personal bonds were taken. The
other men were given fifteen days each
