To Put Water on a Thousand Acres
of Land at a Little Cost.

A press dispatch from Chamberlin,
S. D., says that a new irrigation Sys-
tenn, inaugurated by Casper Kerr, a
Division county farmer, is attracting
considerable attention in that section.
The larger portion of Mr.. Kerr's land
lies adjacent to the James river, and
is of such a character that it can be
easily irrigated. The system employed
by him for raising water from the
river is by means of a pump, which
is erected over the river near the bank.
The pump is very simple affair, con-
sisting of a box about 20 feet long,
nearly three feet square, and projects
into the river to a depth of about three
feet In the bottom OF the box is
wheel which has a capacity of 500 rev.
olutions per minute. This drives the
water up to another wheel half way
up the box and the second wheel per-
forms precisely the same function as
the first by pushing the water out OF
the box into long trough and thence
into the main irrigating ditch. The ca
pacity of the pump is 100000 gallons
per hour. By reducing it's length the
capacity of the pump can be increased
to zoe, 900 gallons per hour. This makes
1t as great a water producer as some
of the larger artesian wells in the
state. The pump is very simple in con-
struction and is driven by 16-horse
power engine. Kerr and another farm
er who has now become interested in
the device are satisfied that they can
irrigate over 1000 acres of land with
comparative ease and little cost.

Owe POOR HAMS HARn LUCK
Pleaded Guilty to the Charge OF
Cutting Timber ON Public Lands.

The East Oregonian of Pendleton tells
this story of a poor mans hard luck:
Garret j. Dixon, charged with cutting
TIMBER on public land, who was taken to
cortland Thursday by Deputy United
states Marshal Bentley, pleaded guilty to
we charge and was sentenced by Judge
Helhnger to pay fine of 500 and to be
I'M prisoned in the Umatilla county Jail
until 1t is paid
The vigilance of the officers who have
Drought this wretched man to justice
VIII no doubt excite liberal comment from
all quarters.
Dixon, the offender is a cripple. hay-
ing had one of his feet cut Off by the
wheel of railroad car when boy. When
seen in Portland he was poor and thin
to emaciation from hard work and hard
living. He is poor man and has a fam
lily of six girls to support. He took up a
claim of 100 acres on unsurveyed lands
on the summit of the Blue mountains,
and has lived there for two years, built a
good house and cleared 10 acres of land,
all OF which goes to show that he took up
the land in good faith and made the nee
essary improvements. He says he was
told at he land Office that he could sell
timber off his claim to live on. He cut
and sold some wood and for the past six
months has been at work cutting and
hauling out railroad ties, of which he
made some 1000. These, at 30 cents each
would have come to $3.50, which would
nave been an important item in support
ing his family. Then along comes Special
Agent Carr and seized his ties and sold
them for the benefit of the governmet,
and his whole six months labor Is lost
and next he Is arrested and sent to jail
for cutting the ties.
1t appears that poor man may take
up claim covered with timber, and IL
he can live to do 1t, may cut every tree
on the land and burn them, and then
spend the rest of his life In piling and
burning the limbs and trunks remaining
and in grubbing out the stumps and 1t
VIII be all right; but IL he sells any of tho
trees he cuts down, to buy food for his
FAMILY and himself to keep alive while
he cuts the trees, he must be arrested and
sent to Jail. These are hard lines for q
MANNED man with six girls to support.
1T is claimed that the land Dixon took
up is timber land not adapted to cultiya-
ton.
Dixon claims that many thousands of
ties have been cut in the region where
his claim is located, for man who has
located no claim, but who is wealthy, and
whose ties have not been seized, nor has
he been arrested, but he has been al
lowed to reap the benefit of his enterprise.
This is Dixon's story. Mr.. Dixon has no
complaint to make against the law, but
attributes his hard luck in this case to
| misinformation given him at the land Of
| flee, but he may have misunderstood what
was said to him. Under any circum-
stances, it will doubtless arouse much
pity that man SO poor, and MANNED
man at that, and with a family to sup
| port, should lose six months labor"

Pacific COast Crop About Half of
Last Year.

For the first time in three years
some improvement in hop prospects
is at length in sight. The American
Agriculturalist published this week
special reports showing that the Pa
ciiic coast will have this season only
about half as many hops as last year.
In New York state the crop will be
fully one-third less than last season.
In England the reduction is estimated
conservatively at 20 to 80 per cent Of
the 1895 crop. Should these present
conditions be verified by the actual
harvest, it means that the 1896 crop in
these three sections will be between
125,0e0 and 100000 bales less than last
years growth. The crop in Europe
promises to be less than last year also.
Prospects at this writing certainly
warrant the belief that the heavy re-
duction in the go product will go far
toward compensating for the large sur
plus of old hops now in the hands of
dealers and buyers. II is impossible
to accurately gauge the actual extent
of the old surplus.
The market is shaping itself into a
more hopeful condition. Offers for new
hops are being made at prices several
cents per pound higher than this time
year ago. Financial conditions and
political uncertainties operate against
buoyancy to prices. Speculation is ev-
identity to be a gamble on the extent
of old stocks. The new crop is admit.
tedly short.

HE WAS THE FINIoAL MAN
How He Ordered His Breakfast Of
the Knowing Waiter.


A man afflicted with the disease of
finickism, an exaggeration of the value
of details, was giving his order for
breakfast to hotel waiter. The man
was finical in the extreme, and the
eXactitude of his order respectfully
amused the waiter, who was somewhat
judge of human allure, inasmuch as
he had served breakfast to many men.
Breakfast time is invariably when
you get down to the bedrock of a
mans true disposition. 1t is too early
in the day, and he is too close to ma
ture itself to have put on the little dis
guislng frills that he begins to assume
along about II o'clock. At all events.
the waiter understood and took his
order respectfully, even servilely, with
out losing his own estimate of tine
man.
The man had a morning cough, and
slipped ice water as he gave his order.
Bring me pot of Coffee" he said.
And mind. it must be hot-hot and
strong, don't forget to have it strong
And a sirloin steak, rare-remember,
have it rare, and no fat. 1 can't bear
the sight of fat in the morning"
"Yessr, yessir. No fat" replied the
waiter.
And bring me some dry toast, hot,
mind you-hot toast-and have 1t made
from stale bread. I don't want 1t
toasted outside and soggy within. Now,
don't forget that"
mo, sir; all right, sir; not soggy in
side, SIR" echoed the waiter.
"And let's seel Yes, bring me some
fried eggs. Fresh eggs, you know,
perfectly fresh, and 1 want them fried
on one side only. Don't forget that"
"Yessir, fried on one side. And which
SIDE sir?"-Kansas City Star

Chemical Co. No. ?.

As the city council has decided to
add another chemical engine to the
apparatus OF the Little Falls fire
department, one of which Will be
placed in the Second precinct Of the
Second ward, the citizens OF that
locality held a meeting for the pur-
pose OF organizing q company to

Foreman-E. w. Collins.
First Assistant-Wm. Coon.
Second . Frank Southmayde.
Treasurer-T. O. Berg.

ing in the Hook and Ladder COM
pa1,y. and has been one Of the most
efficient firemen in the department.
