edible birds nests are found in the Nico

Congress is considering an appfopri-
alton OF $4,000 to carry on the work OF
irrigation investigation. The Denver
Post hopes for the passage of the bill as
this great question OF irrigation is rapidly
reaching a stage when it is likely to essr-
shadow in importance every otlser public
question in the west. The principles OF
irrigation law, particularly in their inter
state application, are by NO means well
settled 30 that an investigation and re-
port such as is contemplated by this ap-
preparation would be simply Invaluable
to this section OF the country and pape
the way to the establishment Of some

of the Lawmakers. The Investigations
Of former sessions have proven the inn
practicability OF the scheme. its cost be-
ing ont of all proportion to its value for
irrigation purposes. Before rshe state
lost it's title to the Twin lakes there was
some little ground on which Ito base a
plea for the construction OF the canal,
but since that invaluable Reservoir site
has been lost to the state there are no
common sense reasons, whatever, for the
construction Of this new canal. The Ar
kansas river does not NOW furnish enough
water for existing canals, and 1t would
be supreme folly to build another which
must remain dry ditch unless the WA
ter is stolen from tho present bitches.

The more the situation in the Phil
ippines ia studied the more evident it
becomes that the Filipinos ehouAl be
given chance for an independent gov
eminent. Uncle Sam cannot with any
degree Of consistency fire gun to sup
press the desire OF the islanders for the
establishment Of republic. Just why
we should as matter Of justice asd hui
manity uphold the Cubans in their right
to an independent government Of their
own. says the New Voice, and refuse the
claim OF the Filipinos, who were waging
the same sort OF warfare against Spanish
oppression and with even greater success,
and who, according to Admiral Dewey,
are more capable Of self government than
the Cubans are, is very difficult thing
to explain satisfactorily. To be sure, we
have agreed, or will have agreed when
the peace treaty is ratified. to pay Spain
2OOO0O00,f for the Philippines; but there
is no reason why we can not recover that
in special trade concessions, and still
leave to the Filipinos control OF their
own domestic concerns, which is all they
ask. Better lose ten times that amount
than undertake the costly job OF con.
quest. We do not believe that congress
would vote supplies for such conquest
and to get volunteers for such a war
would be next to impossible.

Asked to Refund.

Suits were commenced on Tuesday
through Attorney Archibald Mckay,
which will compel each member of the
present County board and all ex-mem-
bers of the board who are accused o..
drawing money to which he was not en-
titled to defend himself from the charge
and to refund the amount TO the county
treasury if he cannot prove his lnno-
cence. BY this suit also the existing
County board is held accountable to the
court for all illegal expenditures made
by that BODY during the past year. The
papers were served on some of the de-
PENDANTS on Tuesday afternoon, and will
ask for IN injunction to restrain the
present board from making any illegal
expenditures similar to the ones al
legged to have been made already.

Parents Meeting.

The meeting of parents and teachers,
held in Nelson Dewey school on We'd
nesday evening, was gratifying sue
cess, large number of East end pupils
being present, who evinced lively in
terest in the proceedings.
Two papers were read. One by Prof.
Elson entitled, "The New Education"
the other by Champ Green on How
Home and School May Cooperate"
Prof. Elson's paper was a strong plea
for manual training in the schools. He
believed that manual training gives the
child calm sense of self-mastery, of
power to achieve by doing. 1t leads
him to feel that he is doer and an in
vestigator, and it leads the school to feel
that its aim is to bring more and more
out rather than to put more and more
in. At least to attempt to put in know
ledge without at the same time provid-
ing for some practical use of the same
in expression is only to burden the
mind and to yield little or no power to
the child.
Champ Green's paper was very in
teresting and instructive, and brought
out some thoughts and suggestions it
would be we'll to consider.
A discussion took place as a result of
the reading of the papers and it WAS
taken part in by both teachers and par
ents. The leaders for the parents were
Judge Roberts, Harvey Hutchinson and
w. +. Pickering.
During the evening John Robertson,
Delaney Webb and Miss Nora Wheel
don sang vocal solos. The science room
was thrown open for the inspection of
the parents and they took a great deal
of interest in the work as explained by
Professor Moore. The work of the
drawing class. under the supervision of
Miss Grady, was also shown.
The meeting Was a success in every
way, and all left with the conviction
that good work had been commenced.

Death of d. George Morrison.

At 1:30 this friday afternoon one
more of our oldest settlers and most re.
spected citizens passed away in the
person Of ID. George Morrison. He had
been i'll since last June, and gradually
sinking until the end came. Tie an
nouncement of his death, We are sure,
will cause regret among the companions
Of mis- early DAYS at the head of the
lakes, as we'll ss those who formed his
acquaintance in later years.
Deceased was a native of Sorel, Que
bee. where he was born on May 10th,
1927. There he lived until his 18th wear,
when he went through to the Rocky
Mountains. He was member of the
Minnesota Legislature in 1858, repre-.
sentinng the district of Pembina. In
1854. hearing OF Superior, he came here
where he resided almost continuously
up to the time of his death In 1856 he
was elected first register of deeds. In
1866 he was elected County treasurer.
Mr. Morrison held other minor offices
at intervals during the early days, be-
ing . man Of considerable ability and
influence. Mrs. Morrison died in 1890.
He will be buried from his late resi-
dence. and notice of the time will be
given later on The funeral services
will he held in St. Francis Navier
church.

moving over the 1900 miles of main
track between st. Paul, Minneapolis,
