tain News this morning says:
Governor Alva Adams, Attorney
General d. L. Carr and Register l.. G.
Paddock of the state land board re-
turned yesterday from Lamar, where
the party, In company with Flatt Rog-
ers and w. NJ. Wiley, made IN liz
spection of the properties of the Great
Plains Water Company. The object Of
the trip was to report upon the advis-
ability Of selling to the Great Plains
company 5000 acres Of state school
land for which the company has APP
Piled. Speaking of the result of his
observations, the governor said last
evening:
II was never more surprised in my
life. The Great Plains company is the
largest organization of the kind In
Colorado, II not in the United States.
The company has been for some time
expanding large sums OF money in the
valley OF the Arkansas, and 1t Is
revelation to talk with farmers who
have located upon land under canals
of the Great Plains system. The farm
ers seem to me like school boys who
have Just gained n victory In a foot
ball contest. They are the happicst
set of people l have ever seen. Ev-
erything with them il prosperous.
They have been literally treated by
the company. and the future looks
cloudless.
Yes" said the governor, II am In
favor of selling the land to the Great
Plains company. 1t is worth nothing
at all to the state without water for
1t. and MS the company offers $3.50 an
ocre, I am In favor of accepting the
proposition. I am In favor Of this
nj NJ Hy-ht
is because the company Is great
blessing to the state of Colorado. and
II the state does not part with this
tract of land. which really ought
never to have been selected by the
state In that locality. the company
will go across the line In the state of
Kansas and carry out n large series
of improvements there instead of cx-
tending In Colorado. While do not
want to be selfish. Ii appears good
principle to do what we can for our
own people when It is in our power"
The governor says the system Of
five reservoirs which nature has con-
structed for use in the region of la
mar is on the same general plan as
the system OF great lakes In the north
ern border of the United States. The
reservoirs have a combined shore line
of more than sixty miles. and when
they are filed with water will be the
largest body of water between the
Mississippi river and Salt lake. The
reservoirs will float steamships and
form n center of health resorts and
hunting preserves such MS are now I'M
known in the West. The system IL
fifteen or twenty miles north of the
Arkansas river. and the climate and
products of the region elicit the high
est admiration from visitors. The res
ervoirs are connected with the river
by canals through which 1t is proposed
to let the flood waters of the Arkansas
find their way in the spring. One of
the reservoirs is now partly filled with
water.
The school land was selected in the
region number of years ago when
the rain belt was pointed out as the
most promising district of the state.

The fearful and wonderful architecture of the

least one form of human happiness. 1t has be
come one OF the implements in new pastirne a
game as yet unnamed, but none the less one OF
growing popularity with the newsboys and boot

the Pos,office formed OF alternate blocks OF
cylindrical and polyanguIar shape-drum boxes
and concer'inas piled regularly one on another
The concertnas, being rather larger than the
drum boxes form narrow lodges at intervals OF
a yard So
The game, true to it's Ma .ional source. Is
founded on the feat of young George Washing
ton who. tradition has il, climbed higher than
anybody else in the arch of the Natural Bridge
in Virginia and there carved his imperishable
initials in the equally inperishabie stone. Only.
in the game ii is hats The newsbOys and boot
blacks gather during the noon hour 10 indulge
in the new sport, and are eagerly watched by
that ever present New-T element which
seems to have infinite time on its hands. Firs:
there is a scrimmage. in which every hoy is Al
once engaged in trying to get some other boys

an ape mounts to the top Of high pedestal
with a cap in his teeth: then with a nimb,eness
worthy Of that immortal who lifted himself by
his boo:straps he climbs the pillar, concertina

There he deposits the stolen headsear on pro

A broom is fit only for the removal
of coarse dust or litter. In carpets
of deep pile its penetrating bristles
often carry in more dust than is
brought out. If used to dislodge the
particles of dust, the carpet should
be promptly gone over with cloths
that are slightly dampened to catch
aud hold the loosened particles. The
feather duster has no use in the clean
ing process, except to dislodge from
high places and unreachable walls and
corners the dust, which must then be
gathered and burned. Sanitary teach
ers insist even that dust-cloths are not
only to be thoroughly washed and
rinsed in boiling water, but should be
dried in the sunshine as often as pos

Pussy can see ns well in the dark as
in the light. Many animals are able
to do so, among them tigers, lions and,
in fact, all of the cats cousins, in
cluding the owl, which is not an AMI.
NAL at all but bird. The reason of
this is because these animals have the
power of making the pupil, the dark
centre of the colored part of the eye,
grow larger or smaller at will. 1t is
through this dark spot, which is really
the window that communicates with
the brain, that the picture of what is
looked at is telegraphed to the brain
by the nerves spread out inside the
pupil. When the cat is in the dark,
she enlarges the pupil of her eye so
that more rays of light can pass
through it to the brain than is ordi-
narily the case, and the impression is
therefore stronger one than is pos
sible to the human eye.
