Entries for the National A. a
Cameo.

The entry list is not large for the second an.
A., to be held under the auspices Of the Knicker
booker A. c. at Columbia Oval on next Saturday
afternoon. What there is lacking in quantity
however, Is more than made up in the quality OF
the young athletes who will compete. The New
England Association will have its best per
formers present.
The lads from this vicinity expect to give q
hard fight to the New EnRlanders for premier
honors this year. 1t was hoped that Walter 8
Nipple would be q competitor in the half and
one mile runs, but in his absence II. L. Manvel
should make q good race with McGarrett,
Batchelder. and Kinsley, the New England
entries. MARVEL. by his performance at the
New York A. C. games on last Saturday. is q

About Irrigation.
few years ago the people Of the western
part Of the state became interested in the sub
! ject OF irrigation, and the cry OF 'irrigate OF
emigrate" was used by those who believed that
the salvation Of that portion Of the state de-
pended upon the success or failure Of irriga-
ton. Two years ago board Of irrigation was
established by the legislature, and an appropri-
alton was made for the purpose Of experiment.
Ing along the line Of irrigation from wells. II
there have been any results obtained that
would justify the outlay Of the appropriation, l
have not been informed as to what they were.
People from the western part Of the state, in
