The study of the irrigation question
by the Ohlce of Experiment Stations
OF the United States Department OF
Agriculture is now being pursued by
the collation. and publication of in
formation regarding the actual status
of irrigation in the arid regions as re-
CARDS laws. institutions, etc, 8inee
few OF the important streams used for
irrigation lie wholly within the limits
of any one state, and there is a great
diversity of irrigation laws in differ
ent states, interstate complications
over water rights have been frequent
and must become more and more
acute as the demand for water in
creases, unless some mode of settle
ment is devised. The departments in
Quiries into these questions have been
inaugurated by study OF the Bear
River Valley The Bear river was
chosen for this purpose because in its
course Of little over 500 miles it
crosses state lines (Wyoming, Idaho
and Utah) five times. finally emptying
into Salt lake, which Is less than fifty
miles distant from it's source thus
presenting In small compass a great
variety Of Interstate problems and
Offering exceptional opportunities for
their study. Within 100 miles Of its
course the Bear river manages to cross
the western and southern boundaries
of Wyoming four times. In its entire
course these boundary crossings d.
vide the stream into six sections.
bitches heading in each of these sec
tons are practically independent of
irrigation laws or the superior claims
OF appropriations of water below. So
far as practical results are concerned.
the state laws do not apply. 1t is
useless to determine priorities of
bitches wholly within the state when
later ones with head gates across the
border in Utah can not be closed. be-
cause the water commissioners au-
thority does not extend that far. The
same state of affairs exists along the
boundaries of other arid states.

WOOD PULP FOR SURGEONS.

A hospital steward at the League is
land hayward has lately been making
experiments in the use Of wood pulp
for poultices and surgical dressings
and has given his deductions in the
Medical Record. Wood pulp in its
crude form is obtained from manufac-
turers and comes in sheets of any size
or thickness. 1t is cheap.

The mere cutting of weeds. says n

Hetty Green says no way has ever

Wood pulp can be nodded when wet
so that it can be used as splint-it
dries very hard. Crude wood pulp can
be sterilized by heating in an ordinary
sterilizer. Wood pulp is an ideal ma
terial for the country doctor, as it is
always the same and insures uniform
results.

JEFFRIES STILL CHAMPION.
Defeats Corbett in Twenty-Third Round
of Great Fight.

Seaside Club, May 11.-Jim Jeffries is
still the heavyweight champion pugilist
of the world. He defeated Jim Corbett
in the twenty-third round of their fight
with a decisive knockout. The finish
ing blow came as a sudden and start
ling surprise. Corbett had been max
ing a wonderful battle. His defense was
absolutely perfect. and while he was
lacking in strength, he more than held
his own and stood an excellent chance
of winning the fight had it gone the
limit. He had not been badly punished
and had managed to mark his man se-
verely.
The winning punch was a short left
Jolt to the jaw. COrbett dropped like a
weight and was clear ont. Jeffries
showed his ability to take punching al
any distance and hard. He vas clearly
Out-boxed ana at times made to look
like a novice. The crowd. which num-
bered fully 5000, was with Corbett, and
his defeat fell upon a silent crowd.
