So anxious were Louis Mann and
Clara Lipman that Mr.. Potter's play,
The Red Kloof," should have an alb
solutely correct atmosphere that all
most their entire last summers vaCa-
ton abroad was spent in a constant
hunt for some of the numberless things
which come under the head of accesso-
ries and which mean so much in the
way Of local color and in the detail of
a painstaking production. They have
costumes, draperies and quaint CuriOs
from the Hague. Scheveningen. Am
sterdam, Hilversum, the Island of
Marker, in the Zuider Zee, a most
fantastic bit of ground. and a dozen
other places, all of which helped to
produce the early settlers of the Trans
vaal; and in the Transvaal, among the
descendants Of these early settlers, the
scene Of THE Red Kloof" is laid.

RECOGNIZED CHAMPIONS
OF WORCESTER COUNTY

Special to The Spy.
Spencer, Dec 22-Members of the
David Prouty High School football
eleven of 1901 are to have their pic
lures in the Spaulding football guide
of 1902 as the champions of Worcester
County. The eleven that represented
the school last year was one of the
most successful football elevens in the
history Of the David Prouty High
School of Spencer. Throughout the
season the eleven suffered but two de-
feats. Those defeats were administered
by the David Prouty High School
Alumni and the Leomnster High.
There will be 10 members of the foot
ball squad in the school photograph.
The work viii be done by Curran, pho
tographer, of Spencer. Then a plate
will have to be made and sent to the
editor of Spauldings football guide
in order to be entered in next years
number The success of last year S
football eleven at the David Prouty
High School is largely due to the eff
forts of the principal. Mr.. HoghdOn is
an athle-" and finding good material
at the High School when he arrived
in Spencer, it is little wonder he
brought out a winning football eleven.
He played himself in several of the
games and his presence in the rush
line, made elevens like the Highland
Military Academy team look like 80
cents.
Next year the prospects Of a strong
football eleven at the school are bright.
Many Of the men who played this year
will be at school and with the addition
Of one or two promising freshmen,
represented by a football eleven that
will be second to none among the pre-
paratOry school eleVens of Worcester

or individual effort. The national
government, the owner of these
arid lands, is the only available
power competent to carry this
mighty enterprise to a successful
conclusion, and divide the reclaim
ed lands into small farms for
actual settlers and home-builders
only. Furthermore, the Hans
brough-N ewlands bill introduced
during the last season of congress,
provides that the reclaimed lands
shall be sold to settlers at a price
sufficient to reimburse the govern
ment for the entire cost Of the
work.
There is a commercial side to
this movement, which, if present
plans of irrigation and settlement
are carried out, will benefit every
section of this country. The east
and middle west will find in that
regenerated empire a market for
machinery and manufactured pro-
ducts of every description, the
south will find ready sale for the
fabrics Of her cotton looms, while
the farmers of the reclaimed
regions will send the cereal pro-
ducts of their acres across the
Pacific to the swarming millions
of the Orient.
Viewed from every standpoint,
the national irrigation movement
is full Of promise to the nation.

The United States government
is not penurious, but it does not
believe in spending money need
and therefore cuts expendi-
ture wherever it can consistently
do so. This idea of economy has
suggested to the authorities the
plan of locating a coal mine near
Fort Yates from which the garri-
son may be supplied with fuel.
The idea is a good one. Sufficient
coal for the purpose desired can
doubtless be found contiguous to
the fort, and the scheme, if sue
cessful, will result in a nice little
saving to Uncle Sam. The people

Fine potatoes are coming into
the local market nowadays. While
in the east the crop was a poor
one, North Dakota has an album

enormous size. As a result of the
partial failure in the east the price
is high and such Of our farmers as
planted largely, will reap nice pro-
