THE SEARCH FOR WATER.

Washington, Nov 21.-The steady in
Of the west, and the success which has
attended its practice. has naturally led
to a close inspection of large tracts OF
land which are now desert wastes. in
the hope that they may also be brought
under cultivation Many thousands of
acres of desert land in the arid sections
are remarkably fertile and capable of
furnishing homes for large populations
which may become centers of thriving
industries If only water, their great need
and absolute necessity. can be procured.
The small annual rainfall and the still
more serious lack Of rain during the
critical crop growing months, have kept
these lands as poor pastures or even
barren deserts. Fortunately, the arid
sections are scanned by numerous loft.
forest-clad and often snow-capped
mountain ranges, from which flow the
purest streams Thus the streams and
rivers, and the underground or artesian
well waters where they exist, have be-
come the pivotal factors on which rest
the agricultural development OF i'm
mense sections of the west: then waters
can be productive. In view of these
facts the investigations of two parties,
among others. of the United States geo.
logical survey, which were engaged in
studying the water resources of the
northwest, will be of interest. Prof. Is
rael G.. Russell who has been working
on the great lava covered section of
southern Idaho, reports the discovery
of an artesian basin over hund red
miles in length, whose western limit,
tho undetermined, lies in the vicinity of
Nampa and Caldwell, near the Oregon
border. The land which can be supplied
with water from this basin lies along
the Snake river and in Bruneau valley
a tributary to the Snake on the south
Several flowing wells exist in this To-
cality and there are indica tons Of ar
tesian water also near Shoshone. In
connection with his Investigations, Pro-
lessor Russell collected a large amount
Of information relative to the agricul-
tural and timber resources Of the region,
which are considerable. The other par

Them With Stamps az Bait.
New York, Nov. 21.-The best men in
the United States secret service and the
cleverest inspectors in the postoftice de-
partment are at present working in the
attempt to discover the details of a new
green goods scheme which was worked
until week ago from Manhattan and
which is at present being operated from
Jersey City and from Chicago. The vic
TINS are second, third and fourth-class
postmasters who do not dare complain
to the authorities. 1t is known that since
the first of July more than thousand
postmasters have been swindled out of
sums ranging from $3.50 to $1,000. The
principle of the game is the same as that
of the old-fashioned green goods game.
But in this twentieth century bunco
game only postmasters are invited, and
they are urged to purchase, instead of
money, postage stamps from the unde-
stroyea plates of the government"
plates and stamps which of course are
rot in existence. The postmasters are
lrred to this city by samples which are
sent by mail. These samples are genu-
ire stamps and not counterfeits. When
the victim reaches the city all the old
fashioned games are substituted.

New York, Nov. 2l.--The police of Ho-
boken. N. j.. are investigating the death
Of 5-year-old Emeline Dale, who died
yesterday of strychnine poisoning in
Hoboken. The child was the daughter
of Harvey S. Dale, manager of life in
surance agency in Chicago. Mrs. Dale
arrived here Saturday. According to
statements made by here, she had not
been feeling well and had been taking
strychnine tablets. Monday night, she
said, she had left the tablets on a dress
ing table, and while she was alseep her
child arose and ate three of them,
thinking they were candy. Her cries
awoke me- continued Mrs. Dale, and
summoned DR.. Kudlich.'
DR.. Kudlich, who saw the child before
and after death, said: Il was sum
moned to attend the child at midnight
and remained with her two hours, when
she had completely recovered and was
frolicking around the room. At o'clock
was told over the telephone that the
child was dead and again went to the
hotel.
Mrs. Dale told me snortly after leIt
that the child's hands and feet began to
get cold and that death soon followed"
County Physician Converse. who was
called to view the body, declined to
grant a burial permit and the child's
body was held at the hotel pending the
result of the police investigation and
the arrival of the father from Chicago.
Mrs. Dale was Miss Howe of New
York city. Her father was a physician
who left an estate from which Mrs
Dale received an income of 5000 a
month

day witnessed the closing of the con-
vention of the w. C. 7. U. 1t has been
memorable for the largest attendance
ever accorded national convention, fol-
the largest amount of money raised and
pledged to purposes Of the union, and
for the greatest enthusiasm shown in
the cause of temperance. The morning
session was devoted to reports of or
ganizers, from which 1t appeared that
the work of the w. C. T. U. is being
particularly prosperous turnout the
great northwest and in Texas. Purely
routine work characterized the after
noon session, and last night was plat
form night, with President Stevens to
lead the oratory.

which were secret, was the discussion

! The good will of the United States is

ample equivalent for the doubtful tech

permit nothing to drive a wedge be-

With Russa's perpetual menace of
India, with Germany eager to extend its
South African possessions, with the
whole continent of Europe violently
pro Boer and British, above all
with Russia and Germany sedulousiy

surprising that Lord Salisbury and his
cabinet desire to extend the hand OF
friendship across the Atlantic.
Under existing circumstances many
feel that a grave rupture with the
United States would render Great Bri-

untenable Possibly a few hide-bound,
unimaginative Britishers, cherishing
the spirit Of the London Globe, repre-
bend the government for yielding to the
United States in the matter of the ca

doned the idea of insisting on the Clay

that IL ran counter to strong American
national sentiment apparently springing
from the instinct Of self preservation.
