settlement on the 18th of May. One
cruiser who has been out four days
with a force Of Otter Tail county peo-
pie says he saw more than fifty shan
tics hid away in the bushes, where
they would be unlikely to be discov-
cred by any but IN expert Woodsman.
The farmers along the reservation line
are said to be doing 4 thriving bust
ness locating the settlers in one Of the
fractional towns upon which filings
will not be allowed until after a re-
survey Of the boundary line. More
than 500 "sooners" bave already paid
for being located by these adjoining
land owners upon two or three sec
tiuns around Pine Lake. AS fast as
"sooners" come to town they are taken
in hand by the sympathizing farmers
and taken into this choice town and
pointed out their future land. Then
they are brought back to town and
sent home to wait for the opening day.
II all who are shown and promised
claims in this one town succeeded in
getting on to them May Is at the pres
ent rate, it will have a population on
the succeeding day of more than 1000.
1t will then be necessary for them to
farm upon the theory that five acres
are enough. 1t is hard to find a 'soon-
err who has really been upon the res
ervation IN good hands who has come
back dissatisfied. But serious COM
plant is made by those who are OBJ
serving the law as to settlement be-
cause the more lawless element in
sists upon making improvements and
actual settlement prior to opening day.
Nothing but United States nlarshals,
it is thought, will prevent such viola
tons Of the regulations Of the depart
ment, as the settlers do not recognize
the right Of the Indian police to have
anything to say about the reservation.

Child Labor in St Pan1

St. Paul, April 1.-The report on
child labor in st. Paul made by Fac
tory Inspector Frank Casserly to
Labor Commissioner Powers tells of
the work done by the inspector and his
assistant under the child labor law of
1895 and is brought up to date. The
work was begun last November, and
all of the fs ctories in the st. Paul dis
trict were visited with the exception of
some twelve, in which no child labor
has ever been found at any previous
visitation. At the beginning of this
part OF Mr.. Casserly's work in Novem-
Der he found but very few employers
of labor in factories or stores who
were familiar with the law or it's oper-
alton: AS rule all have, however,
heartily co-operated in complying with
the law and in securing school GER
ti1cates and excuses for the children
employed by them, or in discharging
those unable to secure certificates.

This township is in dispute and the

their right of intervention They re-

Minneapolis, April 8. = That the
northwestern cycle show will pass
into history as one Of the most sue
cessful enterprises ever undertaken
by Western pluck and Western energy
cen scarcely be doubted after the
splendid opening yesterday afternoon
and evening. A throng Of visitors
poured into the big building in such
numbers as to tax even it's capacity
to the utmost. 1t seemed as if every
one in the city was there, ans as if all
had come with the sole purpose of
learning as much as possible about the
different makes of wheels to be found
on exhibition. and, incidentally, to get
few souvenirs of what is without
doubt the greatest thing of it's kind
ever attempted in this section of the
country.

st. Paul. April 7---Adolph Kalman,
the wholesale millinery merchant do
ing business on Fourth and Wacouta
streets, has made an assignment to
Benjamin l.. Goodkind Mr.. Good
kill said last evening that the assign
ment was due to the bad weather
which had retarded trade considera-
bly,. as we'll as poor collections. The
latter is due to the lack Of money
among the merchants. Mr.. Goodkind
is OF the opinion that if the stock is
properly disposed of and the claims
and accounts owned by the concern
are carefully nursed the assets will net
the creditors 100 per cent. An inyen-
Z tory Of the stock was begun as soon
as the assignment was made. and Mr..
Goodkind thinks that in a few days he
will be able to know exactly how the
matters stand.

Seepage' or Return Waters, from Ir-
riEatiOn

r.
riEatiOn.
Recently an exhaustive Investigation
has been made into the subject Of
seepage, Of return waters from irriga-
ton, which shows that the actual
waste of water is much less than has
been generally supposed. J. D.. Schuy-
Ter, who has studied the phenomena Of
irrigation in many states, regards the
seepage in Colorado az much greater
and OF much more Importance than it
is IN California, where such percola-
tlon is known to occur. For instance,
the Santa Ana river is objected by
seepage from Riverside and San Bar
nardino Vallety, so that the volume
OF supply for the Anaheim and Orange
canals below is rather increasing than
diminishing. The extent of the return
however, is conjectural. In Italy, it
is generally estimated that from one
third to one-half the water applied to
the fields is absorbed by the earth,
and this, less the amount evaporated,
absorbed by vegetation and entering
into new organic compounds, returns
to the streams or deScendS to greater
depths. In Colorado q much smaller
proportion of the water applied runs
off and much large proportions is alb
sorbed. In France, it has been found
that at least per cent of the water
taken from a river returned through
the seepage. Some years ago the peo-
pie owning water rights along the low
er parts of some Of the Utah noun
tain streams imagined that the use Of
the water by persons located some
distance above them would seriously
Interfere with their rights and prove
very Injurious to the land below, found
that their fears were in a great meas
ure groundless. Indeed, it was proved
that free use Of water in the early
summer on the upper lands insured
d more plentiful supply in late sum.

 There have been several candidates to announce to their friends recently for po- sitions in Autauga county, and if the crop increases much there will be no scarcity of stock from which the county convention will have to select.
 The Prattville Progress has recently received a new outfit and will come out in new dress in it's next issue. It is understood that the Progress will be all home print. MT. H. S. Doster is a wide awake newspaper man and he is deter mined that Prattville shall have news- paper worthy of her prosperity.
 There is move on foot now to put in good system of water works for Pratt ville The last legislature granted to the town the right to issue and sell bonds for the purpose of improving the town. etc. Everybody is in favor of having a system of water works put in at the earliest possible time.
