EcadY for Business.

1t is officially announced through the
passenger department of the Rock Is
land road, that its new branch line
running from Chickasha westward to
Granite, Is completed all ready for busi-
ness. This new line is SS miles long
and is built through the heart of the
Washita valley. Thus located, the
line throughout nearly its entire length.
lies within the KiOwa, Comanche and
Apache reservation. Already several
towns are located on this new branch,
the chief ones being Anadarko. Noun

at ptasent the terminus of the road and
is situated just across the line in Greer
County, Oklahoma.
Mich interest is being manifested,
especially In the west over the Kiowa,
Comhnche and Apache reservation
being opened up to settlement. Much
has teen written about this new land
and tie papers generally both east and
west, haye contained many write ups.
concerning the resources and its value
both as an agricultural and mining
distrrt. Probably nowhere in the
Indian Territories, is there such a
valuable tract of land as is this Kiowa,
Comanche and Apache reservation. and
it is the last Of the large tracts OF land
to be opened up to settlement 1t con-
tains upwards Of two millions of acres,
which will be thrown open to the pub
lie, as soon as the President issues his
proclamation to that effect.
A word about this new land might be
interesting. At least 90 per cent of the
land is rich agricultural land. which
will make as fine farms as can be found
anywhere In the west. The Wichita
m0t,ntains are included within the
limits Of the reservation. Gold, silver
and copper have been found in these
hills and 1t is said by experienced
miners that great liches are there.
Timber and creek bottoms are plentiful.
Natural gas has been discovered at
Granite, and petroleum oil is GER
tainity. Coal has been found. and
many prospectors are already on the
ground. The town of Granite already
gives promise of being one of the chief
towns in that country. 1t is growing
daily with remarkable rapidity. 1t is
surrounded by mountains, shady groves
aud running brooks. The Rock Island
will run low rate popular excursion to
Granite on SUNDAY, August 5. at this
time exhibitions will be given of the
natural gas burning and visits will be
made to the gas wells to witness the
wonderful flow, pronounced by experts
to be the richest surface flow of natural
gas ever discovered in America.

DUTY OF WATER ON ALFALFA.
.'By duty Of water we mean the
amount which is used on the land.
Alfalfa is perennial plant which oc-

Here Professor Buftum presents a
table showing the amounts of water
used on fourteen different crops of
alfalfa The table shows" he con-
times. That we have not used very
large amounts of water in the produc-
tion Of alfalfa. Our measurements of
water used on native hay shows that
only about one-half the water was used

The only class of plants upon which
less water has, been used by the Station

IRRIGATION OF ALFALFA.
How Much Water Gives Best
Results?

xtCSultSS
"Alfalfa as Hay Crop" is the title
of bulletin prepared by Prof. B. c.
Buffum, the Agricultural of the
Wyoming Experiment Station. and his
treatment of the subject is of more than
passing interest to farmers of the great
arid region, where no other plant is
held in such high esteem by those who
have had the largest experience in irri-
cation farming.
Although alfalfa is extremely
hardy" says Professor Buffnm, land
will live through long periods of drouth
it will not produce hay unless irrigated.
1t is of vital importance to apply water
at the right time and conduct the irri-
CATION in the right way. Flooding AS
the native meadows are flooded for long
periods of time is much more quickly
fatal to alfalfa than it is to our best
native grasses.
WET FEET DANGEROUS.
at will not do to turn the water on
and look at 1t once week to see that
it is still running. Alfalfa soon dies if
its feet are kept wet, and it needs long
breathing spells and warm growing
weather. Where the irrigating wafer
is cold it produces chilling effect, and
the irrigation should be done quickly
and the water turned of as soon as the
ground has become thoroughly wet.
The best time to irrigate alfalfa is i'm

After winning laurels and high posi-
tion by nearly defeating Harvard In one
OF the hardest battles OF the season. and
then administering a defeat 10 the strong
Dartmouth eleven at Hanover. the
Brown team took a severe slump and
Saturday played a slow. non-aggressive'
indolent, "prp school," sort OF game.
and. although the score was tie. was
practically defeated by the light team
from Syracuse University. who outplay-
ed them In every department of the game.
The blaze of glory which attended the
Brown season up to this contest was
completely extinguished, and In the his
tory OF Brown athletics the 1900 team will
go down as slow, erratic, lazy Uorbid the
term, and with "A decided lack OF that
aggressive spirit that has characterized
former eleVens.
Archie Slocum, Tom Barry and Tim
Sheehan are perhaps the only men on the
team that display any sort OF aggressive
ness, and as a consequence their value
as players has increased two-fold.
The Brown eleven has undisputed abili-
ty, but IL Is only when the team is in dire
distress that this Is brought into play.
For instance. on Saturday Syracuse had
the ball on 4.rown's oneSyard line, but
I'm answer TO the exhortations and en-
couragement of her adherents the brown
and white four times successfully resist
ed the attempts OF Syracuse To cross the
intervening space This goes TO show what
Brown can do when called upon, but af-
ter getting out OF danger they fan back
into the old rut again. each man depend
ing on the other to do the work, and as
a result the team is pushed all over the
field by an eleven greatly inferior.
IL is obvious that. until they get a team
that Will play entirely for the college.
and not for the sake OF wearing o. B. will
they be able TO cope successfully with
the leading colleges.
In the game Saturday Syracuse pre-
sented a team greatly inferior TO Brown
I'm the matter OF weight, but far superior
In speed and In the fierceness OF attack.
and although they could not do much
with the centre OF the line. they played
horse with the tackles and with right
end They started their plays quickly
and the way their compact interference
swept around tho ends was a revelation
10 the Brown supporters. They played a
plucky and gentlemanly game, and gain
ed the sympathy OF the spectators early
In the contest. and II is TO be hoped that
they may be seen here again next season.
They are decided acquisition 10 Browns
schedule. and Manager Linden is COM
inended on all sides for arranging the
contest.
Browns offensive work was poor. and
her defence was not much better, and IL
was very evident that the absence OF
washburn and Barry completely demora-
lized the team.
II IS 20 be hoped that In selecting
captain for next year the team may have
the good judgment To pick out Tim Shee-
han or Tom Barry, for Brown, with eth
er of these two men at the helm Will be
sure to have a team that viii be imbued
with one OF the most essential requisites

HUSBAND
THRASHED
BY WIFE,
Attractive Blonde Caused Trouble
Between MarisdCOupI0-- Flight
Between Women.

Bridgeport Conn. Nov. 26-William
Nolan. leading young athlete of this
section OF the state, was found Friday
evening by his wife in the company of
another woman and soundly thrashed.
The irate wife turning from her hus-
band as he lay sprawling In tho street
where she felled him with blow OF
heavy cane. directed her attention to her
husbands companion. and before the
women were separated blood flowed.
Mrs. NOlan's friends had advised her OF
the apparent fondness OF her clever young
husband for the society OF Grace Fowler,
a stunning blonde. who has figured here
tofore in several startling episodes OF
similar character.
Mrs. Nolan. who. prior TO her marriage.
was one Of the citys most popular and
handsome factory girls. trusted her hus-
band implicitly and defended him against
what she termed were the Jealous and
unfounded suspicious" OF her feminine
companions.
1t was only recently that her eyes were
opened TO the true situation.
Nolan is assistant manager OF one OF
the largest clothing houses In this city.
In some way his wife heard he had an
appointment with the Fowler woman for
Friday evening.
Aiming herself with a stout cane Mrs.
Nolan watched her husband as he left the
store and started in the direction Of the
postoffice whittier she followed him.
Secreung herself behind one OF the mas
sive pillars she bided her time. She mad
not long to wait. Scarcely five minutes
had elapsed from the time of her arrival
when Grace Fowler, attired in a stunning
costume, appeared.
Nolan. who al the time that he waited
stood within few feet OF his wife, met
her. and after a whispered conversation
together they walked toward the apart
ments of the Fowler woman near by.
Mrs. Nolan quietly followed until she
saw the couple were about 10 enter the
house
She confronted her husband at the gate,
and exclaiming "At last have found the
truth" Struck him twice in the face with
her right hand.
Dazed as he was by the suddenness Of
the attack, and before he could protect
himself from the fury OF his wife's wrath,
nc was sent sprawIIng into the street by
a blow from the cane.
The Fowler woman attempted 10 dis
arm the infuriated wife. but. like an en-
ragged tigress the latter sprang upon the
cause of her domestic infelicities and
pounded her about the face.
Mrs. Nolan did not escape unscathed,
for her rival proved vigorously active.
