we'll as leaky boats. The Government
engineers once measured the flow of
the Missouri away up in Montana, and
again some hundred miles downstream
To their surprise they found that the
Missouri, instead of growing bigger
down stream, as every rational river
should, was actually 10000 second feet
smaller at the lower point, says writ
er in st. Nicholas.
Now, while 10000 second feet could
be spared from such a tremendous riv-
er, that amount of water makes
considerable stream of itself Many
celebrated rivers never had so much
water in their lives. Hence there was
great amazement when the discrepancy
was discovered But of late years Da-
kota farmers away to the south and
east of these points on the Missouri,
sinking artesian wells. found immense
volumes of water where the geolo-
gists said there wouldn't be any. SO
it is believed that the farmers have
tapped the water leaking from that big
hole in the Missouri River away up in
Montana and from these wells they ir-
rigate large tracts of land, and, natur-
ally, they don't want the river bed
mended. Fancy what a blessing it is,
when the weather is dry, to have
river boiling out of your well, ready
to flow where you want it over the
wheat fields. For all manner of work
that a river can be put to, irrigation Is,
l think, the most useful. But isn't that
a queer way for the Missouri to wan
der about underneath the ground?

CHINA'S CONCESSIONS.
She Will Open All Her Inland
Waters to Navigation.

LONDON, Feb. 20.-The Pekin cor
respondent of the Times says China
has agreed to open all her inland wat
ers to navigation, whether foreign or
native, under regulations to be framed
subsequently. II not restricted by
these regulations, the agreement which
is to come into operation within four
months, is satisfactory and promised
a wide expansion of foreign trade.
China has also undertaken to open
one treaty port in the province of Hu
Nan, within two years, and proposes
Yo Chau, near the Yang Use Kiang,
near the border of the province. The
Tsung Ii Yamen's reasons for the de
lay in opening it is that the central au
thority is at present powerless to en-
force the immediate opening Of any
port in the province of Hu Nam, or to
protect foreigners there.
China has given Great Britain salts
factory assurances that she will not
ALLEVIATE to any other Power any por-
ton of the Yang Use Valley.
The Times commenting editorially
on the foregoing dispatch, says: I'VE
heartily congratulate the British Minis
ter at Pekin on these important con-
ceSSiOnS."

OPPOSING IRRIGATION.
Farmers Do Not Want Water Taken
From the Arkansas River.

WICHITA Ras), Feb. 20.-An as
sembly of farmers and business men
from several counties along the Arkan-
sas River was held here to discuss
means whereby the Rocky Ford and
other irrigation companies in Colorado
can be compelled to cease taking water
from the Arkansas River for irrigation
purposes.
Several communications from places
along the river from as far as Little
Rock, Arkansas. were read. Commit
tees were appointed to take different
methods of action under advisement.
and ]. F. Houston was retained as legal
counsel.
Should the action be successful, much
land in Colorado that has been cultivat-
ed under irrigation would be rendered
utterly useless. 1t is believed that
there is small chance for success, and
every stone will be turned to bring this
about
