creased Nearly One Half
MINNEAPoLIs, May 15.-Ground has
been broken for a new dam 500 yards
below St. Anthony falls. Fifty men
were started to work and 1000 will
soon be employed. The dam will give
10000 hydraulic horse power, will re-
quire two years to complete and cost
S75O,OOO. The head and fall will be
about 20 feet. G. A. Pillsbury, head of
the Pillsbury- Washburn Flour Mills
company, which owns the entire water
power here engineered the project.
William de la Barre, local hydratic
engineer, is engineer of the work.
When completed, which will be in two
years, it will increase water power here
by two fifths. The power was to have
been used to run trolley cars of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company, but
the deal fell through. 1t is now pro
posed to use the power for -four ant
other manufacturing.

May Have Showed Lack Of Discipline but
Not Lack Of Bravery.
CHICAGO, May Is. - Ex-senator
Dwight NJ. Sabin of Minnesota left on
an early train for Boston. Mr.. Sabin
is practically out of politics, but never
theless he takes keen interest in the
affairs of the day.
Speaking of the case Of Admiral
Meade, who so bluntly gave his reasons
for retiring from the navy, Mr.. Sabin
said:
A Ring of Patriotism.
There was ring of patriotism and
m air of independence in Admiral
Meade's utterances that found an echo
in every loyal mans mind. 1t may be
it was a lack of discipline, but he had
grave cause and I think Meade was
about right. I see that President
Cleveland and Secretary Herbert talk
OF courtmartialling Admiral Meade.
don't think that they dare take such 8
step. Let them go ahead and they will
see how much this country honors q
brave man. Let Admiral Meade stand
by MS words and the policy they out
line. There will be another admins
tration in short time and we want 6
man with sentiments like that at the
head of the navy department. He may
be secretary OF the navy yet"

ST. CLOUD. Mimi, May 15.-Superin-

is investigating the full provisions Of
the law passed by the legislature which
prohibits the sale Of tobacco to students
of schools receiving state aid. The law
as it now stands imposes fine of $50 or
30 days imprisonment in the county Jail
for every conviction Of any one selling
tobacco to such students. Professor
Parr stated that he should at once pro-

OMAHA, May H-Reports from va

by this fact, in view of the rapidity
with which farmers are feplanting

ARTESIAN WELLS.

Mapping Of Water Courses with Refer
ence Thereto Being Steadily Pushed.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The work of
examining and mapping the water
courses of the United States with refer
ence to the artesian wells Of the West
ern states has been carried on steadily
in charge of F. H. Newell of the leo-
logical survey Mr.. Newell is now
preparing summary of the more re-
cent work which will soon be ready for
publication.
California stands at the head Of the
artesian well states, having about half
OF all those in the country inside her
borders. Utah and Colorado come next,
followed at long distance by Texas
and other states. Artesian well boring
is OF comparatively recent origin, few
wells being more than dozen years
old. since 1884, attempts to find flow
ing water have been made all over the
West, but have been successful only in
limited areas, although wells that fur.
uish an important supply which can be
pumped out by means of machinery
have been found nearly everywhere.
Too Small to Irrigate Large Areas
It has been ascertained in many
places, however, that the stream of
water secured from the wells is too
small to irrigate very large areas. In
the hotter parts of the country the
thirsty soil drinks up the water before
it gets more than 100 feet from the
well, and it can only be carried further
by means of wooden cutters, or by ac.
| cumulating it in reservoir. until
enough is secured to produce stream
that can travel for some distance be-
fore stryiAg up An additional advan
| tage of a reservoir is that the water il
allowed to get warm before being pu,
on the vegetation. Artesian water is
very cold and

| if admitted before being warmed. It is
| very difficult by any means short OF
| actual experiment to determine whether
| artesian water can be found in any
given district. The regions where it is
most certain are what are generally
termed the sub-humid, as opposed to
the arid lands. In the Dakotas there is
a great belt where the lower strata OF
the rocks are comparatively uniform
and unfaulted. although covered over
to considerable depth by the glaciaI
drift and in this water can always be
found In Texas there is another belt
also sub-humid, where wells are reli
able.

once q very fine artesian country, bu
so many wells have been bored tha
many of the wells have ceased to flow
