The scope of the present inquiry Is broad. Its purpose is to determine the present conditions and results of irriga- tion, and to thbulate the same in such a manner that they may be fully com prehended by every one. Such work, successfully conducted, will result in bringing about a more complete real iZation of the fact that the develop ment of irrigation is affecting the pros perity of our nation as well as the pro gress and stability of many western states.

Irrigation Census.

The prompt and careful responses to the recent request by the director of the census for information relating to canals and dirches indicate that lhe importance and value of Il complete and accurate census of irrigation are appre- ciated by those engaged in this branch of agriculture.
 Director Merriam is very well pleased with the great interest evinced in the work of collecting data. and is confident that with the continued assistance of the irrigators and the press the present investigation will be d success.
 The returns from the preliminary inquiries furnish evidence Of the ma terial progress made in arid America and give promise of an advance in he twentieth century exceeding the won. derful development Of the Mississippi valley during the past decade. The boundary line which SO long has divided the arid and humid regions. will no StdN lIlt puNlTu llluttIl or unFl- culture. To-day il is realized hat just beyond that line lies an empire greater and far more resOurceful than any vet conquered. With the narrowing of the uDuccupicd limits of government lands in the humid zones the question of reclaiming the arid and s:.bhumid regions grows in importance, and is to-day claiming the attention of the wisest minds of the nation.
 Many of the preliminary schedules sent out in December aud January have been received and are already tabu- lated. The mailing of the principal schedules is being pushed as rapidly as possible.
 The questions in this schedule are numerous and important. Director Merriam requests that they be care fully answered, as upon these answers an accurate and perfect census of irri- gatiOn largely depends

try Home, Orchard Lake.

Detroit, May 3O.-David Ward, aged
SO, known as the wealthiest man in
Michigan, died Tuesday of stomach
trouble at his country home, near
Orchard Lake. He was a cousin of the
late Capt Eber B. Ward. Wards first
important purchase for himself was
in 1854, when he discovered a valu-
able tract of pine near the headwaters
of the Au Sable and Manistee rivers,
selecting 10000 acres of valuable land
for himself and associates, racing with
the representatives of the 500 Land
company for the land warrants, and
a record at the United States land
office in Ionia. IT was a hot race on
horseback for days, through a but
sparsely settled country, but David
Ward won and secured the first title
by just 90 minutes. Gradually Mr.
Ward accumulated land interests of
vast Importance. In 1875 he became
president of the First national bank
of Pontiac. Mr.. Ward came to De-
troit in 1881. During all the years of
his business career Mr.. Ward kept his
own accounts. His fortune is esti-
mated at 100000 to $40, ,OOO,O 900. He

BRUTAL SPORT.


Port Huron, June 2.-The brutal
spectacle of man fighting a bulldog
was the sport indulged in here Friday.
The police have as yet been unable to
obtain sufficient evidence to warrant
arrests. The man made a bet of two
dollars that he could whip the bull
dog, and the money was put up. He
stripped off his coat, and with no
weapon>but his teeth and arms went
after the dog. He got the dog by the
ear and shook him around the yard
and with his elbows tried to keep the
dog from biting him. The dog finally
bit the man on the leg and chin, and
woman seeing the crowd looked over
the fence. The sight that met her
eyes caused her TO shrek and faint,
when the crowd became scared and
hurried away. The fight had pro-
gressed TO the third round and the dog
was ready TO quit. The man made the
statement that he would whip any
dog in the city for ten dollars. His
name is said TO Fred Kamaul, alias
"Puggy Jack" Wilson.

SUTTON ACQUITTED.
OF Completely In the Michixrn
Military Frauds.

Lansing, June 3.-Col. Eli X. Sutton,
indicted by the grand jury for con-
spiracy with certain members of the
state military board TO defraud the
state by the sale and repurchase of
state military supplies, was acquitted
in the circuit court Saturday after a
trial lasting since April 25. Ii was
one of the most stubbornly fought
legal contests that has ever taken
place in the state. The verdict was a
great surprise to the public here, as a
disagreement was looked for. Gov.
Pingree personally attended the trial
and throughout stood by the defend
ant, who is colonel on his staff and
a regent of the state university.
The principal evidence against Col.
Sutton was that he procured the gov
ernor's order for the sale of the mill
tary supplies and the fact that he de-
posted $500 a day or two after the
proceeds of the swindle were claimed
to have been divided. The respondent
accounted for the deposit by testify
ing that the money was given him by
Tom L. Johnson, the New York street
railway magnate, who attempted TO
have the city of Detroit purchase his
street railway system. Johnson
lodged the attorneys in New York
and went abroad without making a
deposition in the case. The trial was
conducted with great vigor by the de
fense and sympathy cut quite figure
with the jury.
