CEMETERY AT AUCTION.
Kalamazoo to Witness a Novel Le-
gal Proceeding.


KALAMAZOO, Mich, Sept. 19.-The
novel occurrence of a beautiful city
cemetery being sold at auction for un-
paid taxes will be witnessed in this
city in a few days unless an injunction
interferes. Mountain Home, one Of the
most beautiful and best kept cemeter-
les of the state, where lie the remains
of the late Senator Francis B. Stock
bridge, Congressman Allen Potter, Sen
ator Charles E. Stuart, and several
other men once of national promi-
nence, is the property in question. It
is owned by stock company and the
corporation has refused to pay the
taxes assessed to it On the ground that
cemeteries are non-taxable properties.
The land will, therefore, be put on the
block and sold to whoever is willing to
pay a good sum for a good cemetery.

NIanitoba Crop Too Big.

WINNIPEG, Man, Sept. ia good
ly portion of Manitoba's big wheat
crop is still standing in the fields un-
threshed and unstacked, and unless the
weather remains settled for fortnight
or more some further damage is likely
to be caused by the elements. The
crop is SO tremendously heavy that the
farmers find the work of harvesting
much more tedious and difficult than

Alton Road.
CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-Amnesty to rail-
road employees belonging to the Amer
lean Railway union, and who took
active part in the strike of 1894, has
been granted by the Chicago & Alton
company, and the arbitrary rules
heretofore In force have been with
drawn. The first ex-striker to take
advantage Of the situation is John
Byrnes, who had been formerly en-
ployed as a crossing watchman in
st. Louis, and who has been allowed
to re-enter the service of the COM
pany in the same capacity. His sue
cess in obtaining the position has led
other discharged employees to an
nounce the withdrawal of the alleged
blacklist" and minor officials are au-
thority for the statement that many
OF the old men will be given places
when the fall movement of crops be-
gins and the traffic service is in
creased. Dispatches from st. Louis
last night announced that no reason
had been given for the alleged change
OF policy by the management of the
road. The ex-strikers are jubiIant
over the result. Many former en-
ployes, 1t is said, have applied for
work under assumed names,

THE SURPLUS WATER


from the well has formed several small
lakes on the farm, which beautify the
pace ana aHord an abundant supply OF
water Tor stock. The farm house and
barns are supplied with water forced
through pipes leading from the well.
Inc services of Mr.. H. w. Meservx
native Californian and an expert in
irrigation, have been employed by Mr..
a. +. Hunter to secure intelligent as
slstance In properly irrigating his
lands. Mr.. Meserve says that artesian
well Irrigation in South Dakota is a
better and cheaper system than that
AFFORDED by costly canals and bitches
in California.
Inc yields per acre on the Hunter
farm this season were "a bushels of
wheat 7S bushels of oats, 40 bushels
or corn, 200 bushels OF potatoes and
otner crops In proportion. The yields
on adjoining farms were considerably
less than half those on the Hunter
farm. The hot winds early In July which
seriously damaged promising crops on
ADJOINING lands passed over the irri-
gated fields without material injury to
the crops growing thereon. While the
farm was not cropped to it's full ca
pacity this season, the products on less
than 700 acres will furnish nearly 100
car loads of freight for the Chicago.
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway. The
officers of this railroad are alive to
the Importance of developing the arte-
sian we'll system of irrigation in South
Dakota and have arranged low excur-
sion rates from other points in the
state to Mellette to enable people
INTERESTED IN IRRIGATION
to visit the Hunter farm and witness
one of the most interesting object les
sons on irrigation that can be imag-
1ned. The farm is being steadily i'm
proved, and this season from the prof
its realized from crops has paid a div
ldend of 25 per cent on the $4,000 of
capital employed, besides some consid-
cradle expenditures for betterments.
The profits of the farm this season
more than return the cost of the well
and reservoir. Mr.. Hunter has an ex-
perimental garden in which all yarie-
ties or grains, grasses, clovers, vetch-
eS, seeds, trees and vegetables have
been cultivated to determine which va
rfeties are best adapted to the soil and
climate
When it Is considered that with plen-
ty of moisture all kinds of forest
trees can be successfully grown on
the now treeless prairies of South Da-
kota and North Dakota, 1t will be readt-
ly seen that with the extension of ir-
rigation frequent groves and hedges
will soon appear over the face of the
country and will break the force of
the hot winds Of summer and the
cold blasts of winter. When the coun-
try is once supplied with the protec-
ton afforded by sn ample forest
growth. it Wal make great change in
the climatic conditions of this region,
and among the groves end hedges the
harder varieties of fruit trees and
small fruits will thrive.
The subject of artesian well irriga-
ton is attracting much attention in
North Dakota, and there is an active
movement on foot to commence the
construction of wells for irrigation in
the James River valley and also in
various other districts in the artesian
basin underlying these portions of the
state.
