To save Time.

An old man who was cook at west
ern camp went by the name of Bunch
Grass. He had his own way of looking
at things. On one occasion the camp
was to be moved along the stream, and
Bunch packed up the outfit preparatory
TO the fitting. Got match, Bunch?'
asked one of the party, for he had rolled
up big cigarette and wanted to light
it. The old mans fingers went to his
vest pocket; then he paused and looked
thoughtful. Evidently no match was
forthcoming. But suddenly Bunch
showed his originality of thought.
Without n word he climbed into the
wagon and started to pitch off his load.
Bedding. tents, kettles sailed out on the
grass. The petitioner for the match
looked at him in amaZement. Had he
gone crazy? "Why, what is the matter
with you? What are you doing?' he
asked. Bunch stopped throwing out
the goods. and replied, in slow drawl:
(Which it's like this. When you re-
ouested that match, l suddenly hap
pened to recall that them combustibles

of the load.-Youth's Companion.

IRRIGATION.
The Reclamation of Arid Lands
what the Government Is Doing
The Census once.

Washington, ID. g., Feb. 6.-The recla-
nation of arid lands, which was a
prominent feature of food-producing
operations in India, China, Egypt and
Mexico many centuries ago, is now re-
ceiving more attention from the United
States government than ever before.
In congress, the house has appointed
strong standing committee on irri-
CATION, with chairman and a majority
of its members interested in or repre-
senting irrigable sections. In the SEN
ate, the committee on reclamation of
arid lands is similarly constituted.
These committees listen to the de-
mands of the people and formulate leg
islation when ii is intended to add to
the resources of nature quite as sub
stantially as if large areas of prolific
territory were being acquired from the
outside.
The officers of the geological survey
are making an extended investigation
of the quantity and consistency of water
supplies in irrigable districts; locating
and surveying sites available for per-
manent impounding reservoirs; meas
uring the wastes from seepage, evap-
Grafton and unchecked floods, and gen.
orally determining or comparing the
values of different methods of irriga-
ton, and the utility of d iferent sources
of water supply.
The census office, combining itself
strictly to exact facts and conditions,
is supplementing these efforts of the
government by making a census of irri-
CATION walls, dams, reservoirs, springs,
canals and bitches, and the cost and
character thereof; of ownership vol
ume and constancy of water sources;
of water-rights, sales and rates; of the
acreage, quantity and value of irrigated
crops; of unreclaimed but irrigable
land areas, etc. Most of this work is be-
ing accomplished by means of schedules
sent through the mails in advance of the
main field work. which the law says
shall be done in June, 1900. Director
Merriam deemed such n course warrant
ed by the estimated increase in irriga-
ton wells to 10000 and the bitches and
canals to $4,000 during the past ten
years, which means that probably more
lHdl lOU,ObO Dlpi ilC INV
crops and herds abundantly on lands
which, without irrigation, were desolate
and valueless.
Preliminary returns to the census
Office from irrigators and irrigation
companies are quite satisfactory, and
the director requests that all who have
received or may receive hereafter sched-
ules from the department do their best
to answer the several questions therein
and return the blanks at their earliest
convenience. Also, that irrigators who
have not received. will write and ask
to be supplied with schedules. The re-
quest will be complied with by return
mail. In this way, accurate statistics
will be secured of an industrial feature
which, in effect, is equal to adding sew
eral productive states to the domain
of nation whose staple food supplies
already dominate the markets of the
world.
