HOME NOTES,

Try adding a tablespoonful Of kero-
sene to pail Of clear hot water to
wash the windows.
One or two good sized mirrors in
brass or gilt frames will do much to
tighten a dark hall or room.
To clean cut glass wash articles, let
them dry afterward, rub them with
prepared chalk and soft brush, care
fully going into all the cavities.
To make mahogany table shine like
a mirror dip woolen cloth into a ta-
blespoonful of vinegar mixed with
three of pure linseed oil and rub Wig
orously.
Lemon peel {and also orange) should
be all saved and dried. 1t is a capital
substitute for kindling wood. A hand
full will revive dying fire and at the
same time delicately perfume room.

some ale, and in it steep the ribbon

<HOARFROST.
Ths Fabric Out of Which This Feath-
cry whiteness Is Built.

Commonly hoarfrost is described as
being frozen moisture, but this is not
an adequate description of an agent
that has the power of adorning in
few hours such prosaic objects us gate:
posts and dustbins with all the trap
pings Of fairyland. Moisture is indeed
the fabric out Of which all this feath-
cry whiteness is built up; but, although
it seems sometimes as if it is disturbed
in a very capricious manner. there are
nevertheless certain definite circum-
stances which cause the hoarfrost to
settle down on some surfaces rather
than others. On any cold and frosty
morning it will usually be found that
those surfaces that are the best radi-
ators Of heat are also those that are.
the most successful in collecting hoar-
frost. It is not always realized, how
ever, that all objects are continually
Eradiating heat, so that, no matter how,
much they may receive from the sun,
they are constantly trying to get rid
Of it. &
A fern leaf or stone may perhaps
receive generous Supphes or neat DUR
ing the day, but as soon as night comes
1t hurries to spend or radiate it, and
the object that is quickest at this work
willisoon become covered in hoarfrost.
Every one has observed how the mois-
ture from the air will settle on the OUT
side Of a glass of cold water brought
suddenly into a warm room. A sim
liar process takes place in the open
mir, SO that as the currents Of moist air
travel across surfaces that are very
cold they pay tribute in drops Of va
pOr, which in warm weather take the
form Of dew and in cold Of hoarfrost.
Moisture therefore plays very impor-
tant part in the development of these
hoarfrost pictures. But there must not
be too much Of it. Some of the most
delicate designs occur during the prev
alence of mist and haze, and In towing
especially it Is no uncommon thing for
choking brumons fog to be in some
degree compensated for by subse-
quent display Of copious hoarfrost.

THE WEST TRIAL.

This morning at 10 o'clock the trial
of w. E. West for the shooting and
subsequent death Of Frank w. March
on the evening of the last day of No
vember, was commenced in the district
court at Grand Forks. The sad trag-
edy. is still fresh in the minds of the
public. While the greatest sympathy
has been expressed at all times for the
family and relatives of the deceased,
the defendant in the case has many
warm friends who are confident that
the verdict of the jury will show that
his actions on that memorable night
were justifiable. ~ .'...-..
Since the night of the shooting West
has been confined to the county Jail.
His conduct previous to the affair and
since he came to Grand Forks early
last spring, has won the respect of
many of the prominent persons in the
city. Since that night, the manner
In which he has conducted himself has
been such as to retain their respect
and exert strong influence in his be-
half. ,t<. III
The trial promises to be of consider
able length, and those who are versed
in the ways Of the law predict that
between two and three weeks will
elapse before the conclusion of the ar
guments to the jury. The legal bat
tie will unquestionably be bitterly con-
tested throughout. Eminent legal tall
ent will be represented on each side.
For the defense +Cochrane & Corliss

the defense. On the side of the pros
ecrtion the state will be represented by

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Jan. 20. Although

tion to slacken on the advance. The

freezing in December was about to be

lowed by good fall of snow over the
winter wheat belt, it would remove all
fear as to the outcome. Minneapolis

the fact that damage reports are most,

OUR CONSCIENCE FUND.

1t was Started With n Dollar In the
Year 1911.
''In the year 1S11," says Fl. E. Arm
strong in Ainslee's Magazine, IAN
anonymous citizen OF New York sent a
dollar to the treasury department at
Washington with an ayowal that he
had defrauded the government and
wanted to make restoration. A dollar
meant something to Uncle Sam in
those necessitous days when the coun-
try verged on war with Great Britain,
and it was patriotic as we'll as pen.

founder Of the conscience fund, anc
probably he died in the odor of sane
tity.
During the preceding thirty-fve
years of the life of the republic no one
had despoiled the government, or the
private conscience was callous. This
New York man, indeed, seems to have
been the one blemish on a golden era
of national virtues, for fifty years were
to elapse before there was an addition
to the fund.
''In 1861, just after Sumter was fired
on, the sum of $4,000 in bonds was re-
ceived by the treasury department,
with letter explaining that sorely
tried conscience could no longer en-
dure its burden of guilt The plain in
ference was that the sender, realizing
the United States would need a mint
Of money to carry on the war, judged
it not to be time to defer repentance.
Think Of the bounty jumpers who prof
tied by his contribution!
'It was really useful to the country
in another way. The conscience fund.
which had languished for want of a
shining example, now became active.
1t has been quoted pretty steadily ever
since. At the present time it amounts
to more than 100000. Indeed, restitu-
ton is getting to be the fashion, and
the time may come when no one will
take advantage Of the government or

IRRIGATION
NEED FOR FULL UTILIZATION OF
WESTERN STREAMS.

~~AsA> A~A>&NA'A~s
The future of large tracts of arid
lands in the west amounting to many
millions of acres, depends largely on
the use made of the streams flowing:
through them. Whether they shall
remain in their present unproductive
and uninhabited condition, or become
the homes Of thriving populations and
centers of business activity, is almost
wholly question of the fullest and
most economical use of their available
water supply. Irrigation has been
practiced for years on portions Of
these lands and proved its value be-
yond question, but the development
of more land demands the use of more
water, and especially the use of he
considerable amount of water which
the older methods of irrigation could
not control, and which are allowed to
run to waste. This waste water rep
resents large and Important acreage
for reclamation from an arid state, if
only the means are found to make use
of it. Part of it is to be found in the
spring freshets, part in the water that
has sunk beneath the streams gravel
bed, and part, already used for irri-
cation, which has worked it's way so
far below the surface as to be beyond
the reach OF vegetation.
Engineers are alive to the necessity
of saving the waste and using over and
over again as much of the streams
flow as possible, SO as to extend the
reclamation line to it's utmost limit.
Hence the storage of water on the up
per portions of the streams is being
studied, storage by the cultivation OF
forests about their headwaters, stor-
age by snowfall, and storage by dams
and reservoirs. Attention is also be-
ing directed to electricity as a help in
economizing the use of water. The
electric current is generated in the
mountainous portions of the water
sheds. 1t is then conducted to the
lowlands and made to pump up again
the water once used for irrigation
which has sunk too low to moisten the
crops. or wells are dug in he river
gravels and the water usually to be
found there pumped UP for use on the
farms. -
The one idea in the arid West seems
to be the use to the utmost all the
water ito be had in the most economical
way, SO as to put the largest possible
acreage under cultivation. 1t is in
teresting ito note that many of the re-
cent papers of the series of the Water
Supply Papers, published by the U. S.
Geographical Survey, which are writ
ten by experts, descriptive of the use
of the water supply all over the coun-
try, openly or by inference point to
the fullest conservation of the coun-
'try's water as an approaching future
necessity. Press Bulletin, U. S. Geo.

Victor & Cripple Creek railroad COM
