Piled with the means Of irrigation.
The first work done was the eniarg-
ing Of the Old Henry canal from the
head gate. three miles west Of Ia
Junta, to the Gageby arroyo, forty
miles distant. Then forty miles Of ad-
ditional canal were constructed from
the Gageby arroyo, through Otefo.
Bent and Kiowa counties, to the de-
livery, where 1t empties into the hve
reservoirs.
The ave reservoirs are natural ex-
cavattons The water In them is from
twenty to forty feet deep. Two Of them
are seven miles long each, and the nve
have 4 total length Of twenty-five
milea.
This new canal system will reclaim
10000 acres OF land from aridity. The
reservoirs have a total available ca
pacity Of 1855, ,419,425 cubic feet The
available capacity, which is due to the
natural depression below the line OF
draw OF, is 3,57O. 2S3, $50 cubic feet.
A telephone line is now being con-
structed along the canal. 1t will cover
the whole of the Great Plains Water
Storage Company's system. Here and
there the houses OF ranchmen will be
connected with the line. 1t is expected
that the telephone line will be COM
pleted very soon.

A number Of property owners along

vast Importance to this county in the
way Of opening about 5000 acres Of the
finest and most desirable fruit land on
the western slope to cultivation. A
short time ago few interested parties
had a survey made which revealed the
fact that at total cost OF not more
than $4,000 about 500 acres Of land
now lying idle in the lower end Of Al
falfa basin can be converted into an
immense reservoir with capacity of
over 100000, 900 feet of water. At yes

means which will at once begin work

A conscientious mechanician once
said to a writer In Trained Mother
hood: "A man brought In a steam
whistle to have 1t repaired. and at the
same time said he wanted me to make
a brace for his child. He would not
go to a physician, but wanted brace
after his own ideas. plus what l might
suggest All right said l. I am not
repairing many whistles nowadays. but
/ will fix your whistle and make your
brace. but when they are both done l
don't care whether you put the whistle
on the engine and the brace on the
child. or whether you put the brace on
the engine and the whistle on the child,

else should do SO simply for the money
there is in IT."
No one can take the place Of the
mother In the careful and persistent
use Of the manipulation and gymnastic
portions OF the treatment that are from
time TO time prescribed. In those cases
where a permant 1t recovery has been
secured believe that II is not too
high praise to say that to the assiduous
attention Of the mother belongs most
ly the credit. To her neglect or the
negligence OF her adviser belongs the
censure that club-foot patient grown
to adult life may indulge In. I think
can safely say that very large num-

A Remarkable Man.

There is a real novelty in the won
der line in Wisconsin. A carefully pre-
pared newspaper article is published
from Grantsburg, Burnett county.
which tells of an astonishing dtscov-
cry OF copper veins in the county be-
tween Atlas postoffice. in Polk county.
and Niger Hill in Trade Lake town.
Burnet county, says the Milwaukee
Sentinel. The mining company is re-
ported to have begun the sinking OF
shaft seventeen miles northeast OF
St. Croix Falls and fifteen miles south
east Of Grantsburg, and ten miles from
the Minnesota state line" The desir-
ability OF this well-defined location for
copper mining purposes is admitted
to have been demonstrated in an en-
tirely original manner. It appears
from the story Of the correspondent
that the Rev. Mr.. Fredin Of Omaha is
unable to walk upon ground which con-
ceals mineral without feeling ticklish
sensation in his right foot. which
grows stronger-presumabl according
to the richness OF the Ore-passing up
his body. through his shoulders. to
his left arm. II he has wire in his
hand the force pulls him to the ground.
II is asserted, moreover. that those who
have tried to hold him declare that 1t
is more than man muscle which strug-
giles with them, while those who have
witnessed the facial contortions credit
the claim that he undergoes great
agony when a discovery is made. The
remarkable powers OF this Omaha
clergyman were first noticed in Sweden
nearly twenty years ago. when he trac-
ed the workings Of a developed mine
simBly by following his tickeled feet
Some persons may not be satisfied with
the assurance that the Rev. Mr.. Fredin
located one vein twice on one mans
farm. offered him $4,000 for the prop
erty. and after his refusal to sell
company was organized to develop the
mine. It will. perhaps. be asked how
the man who utilizes his ticklish feet
to discover minerals can tell whether
II is copper or iron which is conceal
ed beneath. Undoubtedly curious minds
will inquire what the Rev. Mr.. Fredin
has been doing with his feet during
the twenty years since he discovered
their peculiar value to the world. Such
persons simply have no appreciation
OF a good thing when 1t is brought to
them and are ignorant OF the resources
