BETTER THAN GOLD MINES.
Retaining Arid Lands in Wyoming by
Irrigation.

Retaining Arid Lands In Wyoming by
Irrigation.
or all the Western States Wyoming
has been the most persistent In bring
ing into successful operation an extern
sive system of irrigation. Not supinely
waiting for Congress ito do some
thing" the government and the peo-
pie have worked quite harmoniously
in using such means as are within their
reach to establish reservoirs and canals,
and in this way have already reclaim
ed a great deal of land for the small
farmers and fruit growers. The main
opposition they have to contend with
comes from the cattle and sheep men,
but ever these begin to see that unless
irrigation is widely introduced their in
dustry will come to an end and the
State become q desert.
The largest enterprise as yet under
taken has just been successfully
planned by the State Engineer, Elwood
Mead. A canal fifty miles long is to
be built, tapping the Shoshone River
In the Big Horn country near the
Montana line. which without damming
the river, will carry off water enough
to reclaim over 200, 900 acres of land,
which are now practically a desert.
The canal can be built for 81, 1000, 900,
making the cost of thu land about So
per acre. The land thus reclaimed be.
comes the property Of the State under
the Carey act, and the State will con-
vey it or dispose of it In such a way as
to defray the expense of building the
canal.
IL is estimated that the land can be
divided up into forty acre tracts, af-
fording homes for 5000 families, and
in fact support a larger population
than Wyoming now possesses. i,
1t is such enterprises as this that
builds up commonwealth solidly and
permanently. 1t is better than finding
gold mines in the Big Horn Mountains
just as a steadfast farming population
is better than a nomadic mining popu.
lation.
Wyoming is solving the problem of
irrigation. Her arid sisters might we'll
take a lesson from her. -Chicago Times

American Locomotives.

In placing contracts in this country
for the construction of thirty first class
locomotives, the japanese government
has been guided solely by a desire to
get the best mechanism procurable.
The superiority of American locomo-
tives and other railway equipment is
thoroughly appreciated in Japan, as il
is in Russia, China and elsewhere, aud
the consequence is a steadily increasing
demand for them from all parts of the
world. The recent shipment of half
a dozen locomotives to South Africa,
and the probability that most of the
equipment for the great Siberian Rail-
way will be supplied from this coun.
try, foreshadows a large and profitable
future for this branch of mechanical
industry New York Mail and Express.

The Bislop and His Bun.

The Bishop of dorchester, England,
once had occasion to travel through
Banbury by rail. Being DESTROYS to
test and at the same time to encourage
the far famed industry of that time,
and the train having stopped for a
short time at the station, he beckoned
to a small boy standing near at hand
and inquired the price of the celebrated
buns. "Threepence EACH" said the
boy. The Bishop thereupon handed
him sixpence and desired him to bring
ONT to the car, adding: And with the
other ~threepence you may buy one for
yourself" The boy shortly returned,
c~omplacently munching his Banbury,
and, handing the t%hreepence in cop
pers to the Bishop, exclaimed: "There
was only n left, guv'n ."-Baptis,

is placed in the Office of the doctor, ia
duplicated in his bed room. During
the day the receiver and transmitter
are used with the office call box, but
when the doctor goes to bed they are
detached therefrom and connected to
the bed room box, forming a complete
telephone equipment, ready for service.
Everyone knows the racking kind of
a life the ordinary medical man has to
lead. He comparatively seldom on
joys an undisturbed nights rest, and
he may be summoned several times.
Many of these calls are utterly un.

nervousness or peevishness of the pa
tient. In such cases the doctor, on
