NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

The following extract from an
article appearing in the National
Magazine for Decem Der, from the
pen of Thomas F. Walsh, president
of the national irrigation associa-
ton, will be of general interest to
The TRIBUNE's readers:
Farming by irrigation is almost
as old as the history OF man. 1t
has always been successful, both
in ancient and modern times. Who
can look upon the teeming, boun-
teous crops of the irrigated valleys
of the West without feeling con-
vinced of the success of irrigation,
and wishing in his heart that
thousands of poor unfortunates
who are stranded in our crowded
cities could be settled upon small
farms like those of the irrigated
WestY
My thirty years residence in
Colorado, and my travels during
that time Investigating mines, have
given me personal acquaintance
with the great valleys of the arid
region, and have enabled me to
witness the wonderful metamor-
phosis brought about by irrigation
by private enterprise. Many places
where. when first saw them, moth
ing but cactus and the prairie dog
were found, are today, through
irrigation converted into the most
beautiful and prosperous farms to
be seen in the world, the homes of
contented. happy people. By see-
ing this wonderful change from a
desert waste to the most perfect of
farm conditions, i have been con-

nearly every glen, dale and valley.
IA well as the rivers, streams and
mountains of the entire West, and
also limited knowledge of the

voirs on large scale. From such
information as l possess, and what

government engineers. | am con-
WINGED that there are no insur-
mountable difficulties in the way
OF SUCCESSFUL construction and
operation of natural reservoirs to

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

A sharks tooth has been found
in submarine cable at depth of
$50 fathoms. Five varieties of
shark are known to go as deep AS
300 fathoms, and one reaches 300
fathoms,
Stonehenge, the mysterious
monument of Salisbury plain,
seems to have been originally a
circular rooted temple with thirty
huge upright stones in its outer
wall and an inner horse shoe
structure of ten even larger stones.
The outer diameter was about 100
feet, the whole being sorrounded
by II circular earthen bank about
300 feet in diameter. An avenue
runs from the center to single
stone about $50 feet towards the
northeast. and Sir Norman Lock
yer and Mr.. f. G. Penrose suppose
this to have originally pointed to
sunrise on the years longest day.
From the changes in the point of
sunrise they fix Stonehenge's date
at 1850 B. c., with possible er-
ror of 200 years. Polished flints

straight
Luxton continued winning at every
shoot in which he participated until he
went west to Calgary, where he laid
aside his gun to take up the responsible
position of busnoss manager of the lead
ing paper of that place. He was in Cal
gary for about three years, when he left
to engage in the work of compiling a
guide of the Kootenay mining camps.
This proved a most successful venture,
and he followed it with an equally sue
cessful guide of the British Columbia
coast. Next he established Town
Topics. a society and humorous weekly,
at Vancouver and after running it sue
cessfully for almost year, sold it out
at a large profit Going to Victoria he
established a similar paper, which, under
the title In Black and White, made an
instantaneous hit.
This breezy weekly had a successful
run. and was only disposed of by its
founder when he decided to explore the
ocean in the war canoe in which he is now
probably nearing Sydney. which place is
scheduled to be reached about the middle
of this month. In his letter Mr.. Luxton
pays a high tribute to the seaworthiness
! of the little craft. and says that it has
withstood more severe strains than either
he or his partner thought it possible to
encounter on their obe-circliQg jaunt.

Man, the city of his birth. AS a
boy, young Luxton was considered re-
markedly expert with a shotgun, and
before he was fifteen was successful in
capturing several trophies put up for
competition by the Winnipeg Gun clubs
In 1892, however, he astonished even his
friends by winning the championship of
Western Canada, in one of the most ex-
citing contests ever seen in the prairie
capital At that time the champion was
a grizzled veteran of the traps VINO had
been champion of Canada in his day and
who had frequently shown up prominent
ly in the national championships of the
United States. 1t is related that when
he heard that young Luxton was entered

little practice could do the lad no harm

Wins Trap Championship.
At that time the championship was shot
for under the miss and out system, and
after the preliminary rounds had been
shot Off it was found that the cool,
youthful expert was still in the running
along with about twenty others, some
of whom were among the best shots of
Minnesota and the Dakotas. The man
who was the possessor of the champion
ship emblem was shooting in excellent
form and his friends were betting that
he would once more be the last man in
the competition. One by one the crack
shots missed. and stepped back and out
until only Luxton and the champion were
left. Turning to the boy his complacent
opponent remarked: DO you give up?''
mot until you have missed was the
quiet reply.
The excitement became intense as both
dropped their birds almost as soon as
they were released from the traps, and
even the admirers o the experienced
champion began to be nervous as they
watched the seventeen-year-old boy grass
his birds with the precision and rapidity
of a professional.
The tension was not relieved until the
pair had shot their seventy-eight birds.
The champion missed his next attempt.
while the boy dropped his as easily as he
had done the rest.
The young champion was heartily
cheered by those who had been watching
the contest, and he quietly. disappeared

President Johnson Says Brewers Are
Doomed.
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. president
Johnson, of the American league has his
ax cut for Milwaukee, and is determined
TO decapitate the Brewers, if his official
bigness will enable him to swing his
snickersee. He came to Detroit today and
Immediately began to boost the ST. Louis
team and hammer the Brewers.
Speaking of Milwaukee, he said: zone
thing is certain: We will have club in
st. Louis, McAleer will be manager, and
q number of players have been signed.
That ought to settle the Milwaukee ques-
ton Milwaukee is q one-day town, any
how. You can't even get a crowd out to
q baseball game there on a Saturday.
Sunday is the only day in the week when
any business can be. done, and one day a
week will not support a baseball club.
I'VE had splendid luck last year, and
ali of the clubs except Baltimore and
Milwaukee made money. Boston, of
course, did the best business, as the
teams showed to 331 000people down there.
Chicago came next, and Philadelphia beat
Detroit for third place in attendance
President Johnson reached the city this
morning to have a talk with all persons
concerned about the affairs of the De-
troit baseball club He saw President
Burns and Attorney Mcnamara, the man
who really holds the key to the local
situation. Whether anything can be done
just now to help along settlement of the
troubles of the club, Mr.. Johnson would
not say, because he had not heard all
sides of the story.
He said the American league had a re-
gard for Mr.. Burns and would be sorry
to hear that he was IN financial straits.
This may mean that he will do all he
can to help Burns out. The outlook for
the American league next year is very
bright said Johnson, in talking of base
F,aIl generally. 81 regret that there is
any trouble here, as Detroit is one of
our most valuable members"

The challenge was conveyed to LuXton,
who at once said he would shoot for the
trophy the next day, but that he would
not shoot for money This was conces-
sion that he was not compelled to grant,
for under the rules he was entitled
to retain possession of the trophy for a
year before being called upon to defend
it
However, unknown to him. one of his
friends accommodated the man who
wanted to bet on his own skill, and when
the two lined up to shoot, there was
heavy sun at stake. The man who took
the boys end Of the bet whispered to him:
Come to my office after the shoot, and
tell me who has WON Even then the
boy did not know that there was money

The shoot was fully as exciting as that

upon to go on shooting, as an exhibition,
and before he missed 40 birds had been
grasssed, an exploit which even the best
of the professionals would be proud
to boast Of This time the vanquiShed
man did acknowledge that he WAS thor

him look cheap.
Then someone told him of the stake
that had been wagered on him. His eyes
twinkled merrily as he said: ''Well, III

money"
He walked down to the Office of his
friend and, pulling long face, Informed
him that he had missed his eleventh bird.
Several hours later. the stake holders
called in and turned over the money to
the winner. and reeounted the happenings
at the shoot. "Why, the little rascal,

eiympian Games of 1904 Enlarged
In Scope.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Plans for the
Olympian games of 1904 have been de-
veloping and expanding at tremendous
rate during the last few days. The old
estimates which called for seven days or
so of the entertainment and a very mod
est expenditure of 100000 have been
Abandoned and the latest ideas, if carried
out, as they will be in all probability, will
demand that the games extend over a
period of from one month to six weeks,
and that many times the original cash
limit be expended. The management has
said very little about the location of the
stadium, but it is believed that strong
efforts will be made to secure grounds at
least as desirable as the lake front.
Sir Thomas Lipton's suggestion that
International yacht races could be held
off Chicago is more than likely to bear
fruit in 1904 in connection with the
Olympian games. The matter will be
worked up during the interval, ami it Is
