Saved the Crop.

Italian history contains many
 interesting accounts of wars and
 strifes over the souces of irrigation
 during the days of feudalism and
 of conflicts with foreign nations.
 An interesting incident is told of
 the temporary destruction and inn
 mediate repair of the Naviglio
 Martesana, the large canal of Mi
 Ian. During the last century, ow- ing to excessive pressure, about 800 feet of the channel near Milan was carried away, cutting off the water supply of the city, and, oc- curing in April just as the demand for irrigation was commencing, it necessitateG the utmost energy to complete the repairs in time to save the great crop dependent on its waters. It was considered nec- essary among other things to re- place the ancient earthen embank- ment by vast retaining wall of brick masonry. ifas government acted with great vigor and the work was successful, six weeks of tremendous effort sufficirg for it's completion. At such times the people of irrigated countries ap- preciate the exertions of their gov ernments. When the British gov- ernment in India reopened the Del hi canal, great cOncourses of peo- pie accompanied the waters as they passed slowly along thru the new channel-f1owers were thrown into the stream, and the multitude loud ly expressed their joy, aud welcom- ed with glad cheers the sight of the long desired waters. Similarly the of Milan collected in vast numbers along the banks of the Canal Martesana upon it's re- opening and cheer after arose as the waters poured past. All classes aud parties united in bestowing the highest praise on the engineers and the Administration, for their energy had saved the crops of !he year.

The reports of the Geological Survey contain a vast amount of interesting data as to these reser- voir sites. with maps showing their area, capacity, and location in nearly every arid state, and the Geological Survey; under the di- rection of the hydrographer of the survey, MT. F. H. Newell, has just issued pamphlet giving many de- tails as to these matters, under Senate resolution calling for the information.
 Under the last River and Har- bor Bill, thru the efforts of Senator Warren of Wyoming, an appropri- ation was made for the survey of reservoir sites in Colorado and Wyoming, and for a report on the feasibility and desirability of their construction. Col. Chittenden, Secretary of the Missouri River Commission, was detailed by the War Department to make the sur veys, and in his report he conclu- sively demonstrated the vast na- tional benefits which would flow from the adoption of a national policy under which one-seven;h of .he total amount of each River and Harbor Bill should be get apart to build a comprehensive system of storage reservoirs thru out the West.

That a woman has a right to kill the woman who stole her hus- bands affections and caused her self and family neglect and suffer- ing was the verdict reached by a jury at Harlan, Ky. Mrs. Ruth Stewart was on trial for stabbing to death Vinah Daniel. The latter was an acquaintance of Joseph Stewart, the defendants husband. Mrs. Stewart was acquitted largely on her own testimony. She told how her husband neglected her and her family, and recited pathetically the misery that had come thru his affection for the murdered woman. While gofng to market one day, she met the Daniel woman who a. buset and taunted her until she stabbed her to death with a pocket knife. The jury was out three minutes. ard the verdict of not guilty was generally commended. Record.

 Matters.
Irrigation in Italy. The late King Humbert, Cham pion of Internal Improvements. Methods of the Romans.

Thru the assassination of King Humbert of Italy the poor people of that historic land lost a consei- entious friend. Altho Rome, and later Italy, have supported many tyrants who have trampled upon the necks of the people as upon worms, others of it's rulers, King Humhert among the number, have had the good of the peasants thor oly at heart and have endeavored to improve and ameliorate thelr condition. Especially notable as a means to this end have been the irrigation works of Italy, largely undertaken and fostered by her successive monarchs and minis tries.
 The early Romans were careful irrigators and Italy is known in history as the classic land of irri- gation, altho it is not believed that any large irrigation systems or great canal were constructed until in comparative recent times. As in the Far East, springs, wells and small streams, easily diverted from their channels, were the sources of supply; but in the last few centu, ries Italy has developed some mag, nificent irrigation systems. In the districts of Piedmont and Lombar- dy hundreds of thousands of poor people have found relief and com fort thru the revivifying influence of water, great tracts of marsh and waste land having been reclaimed to irrigation. Nothing could be more striking than the contrast be- tween some ot the irrigated and the unirrigated districts. Many of the irrigated districts are among the most densely populated regions of Europe. Their soils have re- ceived just the element needed to call forth their inherent powers and instead of arid wastes and exten- sive marshes, corn fields, rice fields flax fields and green meadows pro. ducing wonderful crops, cover the face of the country. with prosper ous farms and cottages surrounded by the vine and the fig. and inhab tied by happy families. It is only necessary to compare the present conditions Of the provinces wher. irrigation exists with their desti- tute past to see the good which d wise government policy has given the people. Nearly six hundred years have been required to perfect the splendid canal system of Pied mont, and to change it's once arid wastes and dreary marshes into sheets of cultivation. The moral presents itself that to irrigators in the United States, who are but be ginning this work, they may have checful hearts in sights of what has
