OF the earth on which God sits.
Blu; do not become impatient because
you cannot see the curve of events and
therefore conclude that Gods govern
ment is going to break down. History
tells US that in the making of the pyra-
mids it took 1000 men two years to drag
one great stone from the quarry and put
it into the pyramids. If men short lived
can afford to work so slowly as that, can
not God in the building of eternities
afford to wait?
What though God should take 10000
years to draw n circle? Shall we take our
little watch. which we have to wind up
every night lest it run down, and hold it
mp beside the clock Of eternal ages? If,
according to the Bible a thousand years
are in Gods sight as enc day, then, ac-
cordng to that calculation, the 5000
years of the worlds existence has been
only to God as from Monday to Satur-
day.
But it is often the case that the re-
bound is quicker the return is much
quicker, than that The circle is sooner

The circle of Centuries.

But it is sometimes the case that this
circle sweeps through a century or
through many centuries. The world start
ed with a theOcracy for government
that is, God was the president and em-
peror of the world. People got tired of a
theocracy They said: 1--WE don't want
God directly interfering with the affairs
Of the world. Give us a monarchy" The
world had a monarchy. From a mon
archy it is going to have a limited mon
Rrchy. After awhile the limited mon
nrchy will be given up, and the republic
an form of government will be every
where dominant and recognized. Then
the world will get tired of the republican
| form of government, and it will have an
anarchy, which is no government at all.
And then all nations, finding out that
man is not capable of righteously gov
erning man, will cry out again for theoe-
racy and say, Let God come back and
conduct the affairs of the world" every

LAND COMMISSIONERS VIEWS
ON IRRIGATION RESERVOIRS

that the plan of making general fund,
and apportioning 1t among the several
arid states would meet opposition, or
rather lack of support OF many west
ern states, particularly those whose
sales of public lands are large. for
they would be called upon to divide
with the less progressive states, and
this they would not do.
The commissioner suggests that
general fund might be created, and
from this reservoir should be first
built in the state which contributes the
most; then In turn the second largest
contributor should have reservoir.
and SO on in turn until the least should
have been supplied This plan, how
ever, will have Its opponents. and is
mainly defective for the reason that It
affords relief last to the states needing
irrigation the most.
Returning to the bill in question,
however, the commissioner approves
the plan of giving the secretary Of the
Interior general supervision over the
entire reservoir scheme, and thinks the
lands to be included in reservoir
should be segregated from entry as
soon as the application is filed.
One of the vital provisions OF the
pii, tudt permitting tne SAFE 10 the
actual consumers Of the completed
works, including reservoir aud canals,
meets with Commissioner Hermann's
complete disapproval and he will Wig
orously oppose any such provision in a
bill that Is referred to him for report.
He points out that such a law would
permit the few original consumers to
gain control Of the system, and gives
into the hands Of a few men the con-
troll Of system that is in time bound
TO spread; In other words, the few orig
inal users of the water, when they
own the system. can fix such rates as
they choose, and make their exactions
on all farmers below, who may after
ward desire to use this water In a
word, 1t is legislating, in his opinion,
in favor Of corporation, in effect. IL
not in name, and this he does not ap-
prove. He believes that reservoirs
should be constructed by the general
government and always owned and
controlled by the general government,
thereby avoiding not only individual
conflicts, but the conflicts between
states as to the use of certain waters

MANY PEOPLE DYING OF HEAT
in LARGE EASTERN CITIES

New York, July 1.-To-day was the
hottest July 1st on record. AT $40 p. III.
the thermometer at the weather bureau
reached ninety eight Degrees one de-
gree hotter than yesterday. The rec
ords show that in the thirty years pre-
cedins on only two days in all that
period has higher temperature been
reached. These We're July 0, 1876, and
July 3, 1898. On these days the ther-
mometer reached ninety-nine degrees.
The percentage of humidity to-day was
only forty-eight.
After 3:15 p. M. decline began until
at 8 p. m. the thermometer registered
ninety-two.
In the early morning hours there was
what might be termed light breeze
blowing, but during the early part of
the afternoon the breeze died away,
and the city was baking in torrid heat
The suffering in the city, particularly
in the crowded tenement house dis
tricts, was most intense. AS the day
grew the deaths and prOstrations in
creased and, although provision was
made in all the hospitals for this emer-
gency, the authorities were scarcely
able to cope with the great tax made on
their resources.
Between the hours of n. m. to-day
and midnight there were fifty-seven
deaths and 141 prostrations in the bor-
oughs of Manhattan and the Bronx.
From midnight last night until 0
o'clock tonight two deaths and thirty
six prostrations had been reported in
Brooklyn.
4 There were SO many ambulance calls
That the police were called on to sup
ply patrol wagons, and every ambu-
lance did double duty in responding to
calls.
Many patients were carried to the
hospitals in cabs and carriages, and
several went to Bellevue and the Har-

nlence of grippe among the horses of
the city also tended to initiate against
effective work. In many cases horses
had to be obtained from contractors to
draw patrol wagons and ambulances.
Although the weather bureau shows
that the maximum was ninety-eight,
this does not indicate the heat on the
streets. Many thermometers Registered
los at 3:1O, and all of them over 100
on the street.
If the heat was killing on mankind,
1t was worse on the horses. They
dropped right and left. At one time
there were eight dead horses lying on
Broadway between Twenty-third and
Forty-second street. There were four

Warrington, July 2-Considerable in
terest has been manifested by govern
ment officials in the bill recently
framed at Cheyenne, by a number of
western congressman and engineers,
looking to the construction of reser-
voirs for the storage Of water and 9TH
er necessary irrigation works for arid
land reclamation. Among those who
have carefully examined the provis-
ions of the proposed bill is Commits
sioner Hermann Of the general land
ONCE. and in general the measure
meets with his approval, although its
terms are considered too indefinite for
final adoption.
Mr.. Hermann approves the main
idea, namely, the construction Of these
reservoirs with the funds raised from
the sale Of public lands, as this meth
Cd, in his judgment, is more likely to
meet the approval of eastern congress
men than would direct appropriation
from the treasury, such as is made for
river and harbor improvements. AT
the same time he points out the made
quacy of the provision that the funds
raised in one state shall be expended
in that state. This would work very
well In states like Colorado, Oregon,

ceipts Of the land offices are large, but
the receipts in Nevada amount to prac-

on account of sales Of public lands in
1900 in the state to be benefited by this
act. gives an idea of the relative ben
