Was n Runner Up.

Walter Egan was runnerup last year in
the national tourney at Atlantic City, while
Chandler Egan has a total Of twelve cups
and eighteen medals and various prizes won
by his prowess.
Chandler Egan's pace was entirely too fast
for Dickinson, who did not win a hole from
the Exmoor-Harvard player. The best the
Iowa champion could do was to halve three
holes. He was nervous and was of his game
for the first time since he entered the
championship. Egan's golf was steadier than
Dickinson's at all times. On the fifth green
Egan holed a twenty-foot putt. The cards
tell the story Of Dickinson's defeat very
plainly. They are:

NOTED WOMAN DIES.
Elizabeth cady Stanton, Aged Woman
Suffraqist and Writer, Passes Away.

New York, Oct. 26.-Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, the well-known woman SUI
fragist, died to-day at her home in
West Ninety-fourth street in this city
Old age was given as the cause OF her
death. She was conscious almost to
the last. About a week ago Mrs. stan
ton began to fail rapidly. This be-
came more noticeable last week and
then it was known to the family that
her death was only a question Of days
or hours.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton reused
the church membership of the country
a year or two ago by demanding An
eIpurgated Bible, with all derogatory
references to women left out OF the
text. She was called the grand old
woman" Of the suffragists. She was
one of the signers of the call for the
first woman suffrage convention which
was held at Seneca Falls, New York,
on July s, 1s4s. She was the only
s:gner of that call who stuck to her.
colors throughout the years and never
tagged in the work then begun. all
though she faced storms and hurri-
canes of ridicule and vituperation.
Mrs. Stanton was born Of Puritan
ancestry at Johnstown, New York,
November u, 1916. Her father was a,
distinguished lawyer of the time. As
a girl she was educated at Mrs. VIII
lard's Seminary at Troy. She was mar.
ried in 1910, went abroad. and on her
return took up abolition. No conven-
ton of women suffiragists was COM
plete without Mrs. Stant0n, and 1t Is
probable that she did not miss one
since the foundation of the association.
The news of the death Of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton fell with crushing
weight upon Susan B. Anthony, who
had planned to go to New York on No
vember 18th to assist the venerable
advocate of woman's suffrage in the
celebration of her eighty-seyenth
birthday.

Denver, Colo, Oct. 24.-The answer
of tae state of Colorado to the COM

case as the representative OF the large
irrigation interests Of the Arkansas
valley. The state is represented by the
attorney generals Office and by two
special lawyers, c. s. Thomas and
Luther M. Goddard.
The first section of the answer is de-
voted to the formal denials of the es-
sential contentious in the complaint OF
the state of Kansas-denying that the
Arkansas river is navigable stream;
that 1t has any underdow outside OF
its present banks; that the flow in
Kansas has been diminished by reason
Of the use of the water In Colorado;
that the state Of Colorado or its Legts-
lature, has ever authorized the use OF
the water Of the river, but that such
use rests upon the constitution OF the
United States and Of the state OF Colo
RADIO as approved by Congress; denies
that any state canal has been taken
from the Arkansas river: denies that
any OF the normal flow Of the river has
been diverted to I'LL reservoirs, but
AYERS that the water stored in reser-
voirs has been the excess or flood wa
ter; denies that when the territory OF
Kansas was created or the state OF
Kansas admitted that the water OF the
river was wholly unappropriated. but
AYERS that water had then been ap-
propriated: denies that the state OF
Kansas has been injured. or the fertil-
ity of land diminished; denies that the
water rights Of private corporations
will terminate with their corporate
life. AYERS that the rights are In per-

top. This is protected by 100, 600 tons
OF rock laid on as riprapping. The
dam rests upon solid .impervious base
Its ends are locked into the solid hills
on either side. The outlet is through
a pipe embedded in masonry which
starts in the bottom of the lake $50
feet from the dam. Ample spillways
lined with masonry, at each side OF
the dam will carry the surplus water
far beyond where it can do any dam
age to the face of the dam No water
will ever flow over it. The reservoir
basin beyond the dam is an ideal one
1t is trimmed on every side by solid
rock. and the lake will contain water
enough to cover 1900 acres of land a
foot deep with water.
From the dam a canal sixteen feet
wide on the bottom carries the water
to the company's lands. The canal is
a model of engineering. Where it
crosses valleys. 1t is through pipe
lines, laid deep in the ground, not in
fumes which may wash out.
Experience has shown that the
foods in Cherry creek in the spring
and summer are far more than suffi-
cient to fill the Castlewood reservoir
several times over. and so a series of
subsidiary reservoirs close to the
lands to be watered, is under construc-
ton or already completed. These res
ervoirs occupy natural basins. and are
protected by high and wide earthen
embankments. The Clark reservoir,
already completed. holds enough water
for 5000 acres of land. The lower
catch basin. which will retain all the
refuse water remaining in the canal
after the farmers along its upper
course have taken what they want,
will have capacity to water 1000
acres. All these reservoirs can be filled
twice over in the dryest year. The
water and storage rights are uniIn-
peachable priorities

The bureau starts out with contracts

prise grazing and ranch lands: and
with the Colorado Colony Company
with its fine irrigated lands in the val
ley of the South Platte. The present
scope of the bureau comprises prac-
tically every class of Colorado lands,
and the cooperation of other land
companies will bring in all kinds that

FARMING MATTERS,

Retarded growth and much imma-
ture corn are reported from Michigan.
The corn crop is very late through
out the entire northern portion of the
corn belt
Forest fires have caused tremendous
loss of property, live stock and timber;
on the Cascade and Coast ranges in the
Northwest.
The young plants of berseem, the
great forage and soiling crop of the
Nile valley. closely resemble our COM
mon alfalfa. {,
Tests of bran and alfalfa in Wy
omlng in feeding milk cows show that.
though bran produced most milk, al
falfa was by far the most economical
ration.
1t is a significant and noteworthy
fact that the prosperity of the past dec
ade is contemporaneous with the rec
ognition of alfalfa and Kaffir corn in
the agricultural economy of Kansas,
and no one can successfully deny that
these two crops. have been big factors
In its realization. By the fact that kaf'
fir corn can be successfully grown in all
localities, of its being a strong resist;
ant to protracted heat and dryness. and
Its proved feeding qualities, close or
practically equal to corn, it promises to
become principal resource in a region
where live stock is the predominating
interest and the production of corn
is something of an uncertainty y.-Secre-
tary F. D. Coburn, Kansas.
Japan raises not only fully-developed
trees few inches high but also roost-
ers with tail feathers eleven feet long.
There is one known case OF bird with
an eighteen-foot tail. but ten or eleven
feet is the average. Although undoubt-
edly descended from domestic fowls in,
tended for poultry the long-tailed birds
are of no value except for museum COL
lections and to show what can be done
by selection in breeding. The cocks
not only have abnormal tails, but the
body feathers growing from Tie shoul-
ders of good specimen are about four
feet in length. The hens lay in the
spring and fall and each bird produces
about thirty eggs year. The birds
are not allowed to do their own hatch
ing. as this might muss their tails and
in course of time cause the breed to
deteriorate. The menial work of set
ting is done by an ordinary hen.
As regards the airing the plants. it is
perhaps sufficient to say that what in
this respect is healthful for human
lungs will suit the plants. But do not
forget that the plants cannot take a;
walk on pleasant day: hence fresh
air should frequently be admitted to
them from the window. In nature all
trees and plants have their seasons of
growth and rest. a principle that must
be observed in house plant culture
When therefore any plant. after peri,
cd of growth and bloom, shows signs OF,
leSsening growth. water should also bel
somewhat withheld. In u state of rest
from growth most kinds can get along
with lessened light. also, and this We.
may take advantage of by putting such
kinds as fuchsias, oleanders. hydran-i
geas and scarlet geraniums in light
cellar while growth is suspended. Al.
most without exception it is best as the.
end of the resting season approaches to-
say late in winter. to shake the old soil
from the roots and repot with fresh
\ earth.

Fund for Fores, Reserves

Delegate B. S. Rodey has received
the following letter from the Depart
ment Of the Interior, in reference to
the construction of roads on the Pecos
forest reserve and the preservation Of
game. which have been urged by the
New Mexican:
Hon. B. S. Rodey. Albuquerque.
Dear Sir-In answer to your favor
Of October 1st, allow me to say that
the total funds for forest reserves are
divided among the reserves according
to a definite plan in which the area,
the amount of business through timber
applications and grazing. as well as
topography. climate and importance Of
the reserve are considered. AS We are
at present, the appropriation simply
does not permit us to do more than We
are doing. AS to roads, we never had
the funds to build any and have to con-
tent ourselves with the building of
trails essential to a satisfactory patrol.
The New Mexican Is right but the rem
edy lies with Congress"
Delegate Rodey will introduce bill
at the coming short session for an ap-
preparation to build good roads on the
Peccs and the Gila forest reserves.

wife, one to Hon. H. C, Alger and one
to Howard French, proprietor OF the
Sheridan and his very firm personal
friend. Those to Mrs. Boal and to Mr.,
Alger have not yet been opened, The
one addressed to Mr.. French reads as
follows:
Friend Howard: Excuse this trouble
l am about to make in your house, but
| will have to make use of your hospi-
tality in this way for the last time.
and would rather be close to friends in
a hing of this sort than among strang-
err"
