WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The third an
nual report of the irrigation INVESTIGATIONS
OF the office of experiment stations. United
states Department of Agriculture, made
under the direction of Eiwood Mead, saws
that averages of measurements, embracing
nearly all Of the arid states, show that dur
ing the last three years enough water was
turned into the heads of bitches during the
irrigation season to cover the land irri-
gated to a depth of 4.45 feet, or stated in
another way, AS feet of water was taken
from streams for every acre OF land irri-
gated.
A large part of this water supply was
lost in transit through seepage, the leak
age being especially great where canals run
through sandy or g~ravelly soil. Measure
ments at the heads Of laterals showed an
average loss In the main canal Of IL per
cent. Measurements made at the margin
Of fields on six large canal systems showed
that only AZ per cent of the water turned
in at the head gates was delivered 20
armers. This large loss through seepage
is one Of the significant features of these
measurement and shows that better con-
struction of distributing works is one Of the
directions in which great Improvement is
possible.
Another interesting table in the report
shows the value of the crops grown for
each acre foot of water used. They vary
from $1.32 a foot to 1922 an acre foot.
water bringing in the least return when
used on alfalfa and the largest return whom
used in irrigating nursery stock. 1t also
was shown that crops which require irriga-
ton in the last half of the irrigation sea-
son have a far greater value than those
which require irrigation during the first
half. the average value per acre of crops
which have to be irrigated in the last half
Of the season being $49.39 an acre, while
crops which require irrigation only in the
frst half OF the season have an average
value Of only $17.S3 an acre. a difference OF
$31.56 an acre in favor Of late crops.
These, however, have to be watered when
streams are low and water scarce. As a
rule this water supply can be had only
through storage. and the cost OF reservoirs
has to be charged against the extra value Of
the crops. Experience shows, however, the
report says, that the storage Of water pays
farmers and will increase largely the pro-
ductive value Of irrigated lands.
Arid land croD conditions in central Mon
tana, heretofore unknown to the Depart
ment OF Agriculture, were discovered in a
tour Of inspection which Elwood Mead, in
charge Of the irrigation work OF the depart
ment, has just completed.

CREIGHTON BEATS ALL-oMAHA
University Team Surpaasses Old stars
on the GridirOn by Superior
Training.

Creighton university foot ball team
played a picked team of the old players Of
Omaha on the Creighton's field yesterday
afternoon, the score resulting 6 to 2 in
favor of Creighton.
The old stars we're a little soft, but time
out gave them a chance to collect their
scattered breaths. The Creighton team was
also a little slow in its work. but its train
ing held IL together, so the final score
shows up to its advantage. The Creigh-
ton boys showed that they can play foot
ball, but they still need practice. But the
team they met is about as strong an ag-
gregation as can be found outside of a big
university.
Thomas and Furay played in their old
form for the Omaha team and Dan But
ler's onslaughts were fierce, as usual. The
McShane brothers played from start to
finish, and Prichard, though softer than
the rest, was game and fast. For Creighton
Harry WEIGH and Callahan were the bright
est stars, but Mustain and McGoVern did
some good work. ~Creighton's line is the
strongest IL has ever had, and the old stars
were forced TO make their gains around the
ends.
The game was a fair exhibition. of foot
ball, but not what is expected TO come
from such an aggregation of players. q.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Sept. 2Z.-(Special
Telegram. )-High school players of Omaha
and West Des Moines tried for more than
an hour this afternoon to decide superiority
and failed. The visitors had nearly fifteen
pounds weight to their advantage. but the
locals made 1t up I'm speed. Both teams
played better on defense than offense. Both
were repeatedly forced to. punt and while
Damon for Des Moines did better than
Sterricher the punts were of little use.
Near the end of the game Omaha was
twice forced to punt and both times the
ball was regained on fumbles. Halfback
Burnett finally broke away for a twenty
score was challenged on the ground that
time had been called, and the timer decided
that the touchdown was too late.
Captain Fairbrother was easily the star
OF the visitors and made a fine exhibition,
ana his tackling was phenomenal. The
game was lively and satisfactory, though
played on a muddy field. The Omaha play
ers claimed a score OF 5 20 0, but thestouch-
down was not allowed by tile umpire.

Though October really marks the COM

to have started the sport off for the full
distance this year. Yesterday was the day
of the first games the country over. Some
II the western colleges that had been in train
ing so many weeks in advance had already
lined up against minor opponents on the
preceding Saturday and even a week before
that, but for the big schools in the east
last Saturday was the getaway and from
now on there will be games every week
for all colleges.
These first games can only be regarded
as interesting as showing test lineups.
They cannot be said to indicate much as
regarding the strength Of the team for the
season, nor can the personnel be consid-
cred as any promise Of what 1t may be
later. In several cases the good men,
those almost sure OF their jobs, have not
yet returned, as they are not anxious to go
through all the old routine Of seasoning
and breaking In. Again, at many schools
1t is the practice not to compel the old

With the Big -Four colleges things have
been very slow in taking shape. because
OF the complete Kidding in most cases Of
the 1901 teams by graduations and other
causes. OF course, when the old team
comes back very near entire II is not hard
to fill in the few inches and have an eleven,
but with about seven places to I'LL the work
is necessarily slower.
This proposition Yale, Harvard, Princeton
and Pennsylvania have been against pretty
hard, especially the hrst three schools.
Now they are beginning to see their way
clear and are resolving first and second and
third elevens from the mass Of material
on hand. With sixty men to pick from,
Princeton coaches have found, temporarily
at least, the center, two guards and one
tackle they needed. Just now the Tigers
loudest jubilation is over the fact that the
big Andover guard, ogden butcher, has
come TO Princeton. 1t was expected that he
would be with Yale, as he was in New
Haven for a couple Of weeks, but the tradi-
tional spirit Of progression from Andover
to Princeton held good and butcher will
play left guard. Dewitt, the former tackle,
will be moved in one place to Dana's unex-
pectedly vacated place at right guard, and
that means another tackle.
Yale now forecasts a line Of giants and
out Of the large list Of enormous candidates
for the forward positions expects to de-
velop a good row of seven. The back field
is really the troublesome feature with the
Blues, as the detection OF Quarterback De
saulles is still sorely felt, However, an
extra week has frightened the outlook.
Harvard alone fails to talk any more
hopefully as the time passes. Captain
Herman and the coaches assert that they

the rooters and wise guys along the side
lines are anything but sanguine. The Har-
ward trouble is Just the opposite Of Yale's.
At Cambridge they have q great back field
left over, but want line men badly.
Meanwhile, Coach Williams has finally
brought his Quaker squad back from
Eaglesmere to Philadelphia and his long
siege Of illegal" early training has ac-
eOmplished wonders. From a dub team In
fast company last season the Quakers have
already become a factor much considered.
Seven days have not altered the general
situation in the middle west. Wisconsin
and Michigan are still touted as the big
things in the Big Nine. Already it is being
said that the game between these two on
November /, to be played In Chicago, will
determine the championship Of that alliance

Allison on the Strike.

Dubuque. Oct. 13.-Senator Allison
doubts the effectiveness of the proceed
ings begun by the New York Journal
and American to end the coal strike.
The New York paper has begun pro-
.ceedings in the federal court to have
the members of the coal trust indicted
as members of conspiracy to restrain
trade and create monopoly. Such
proceedings are taken under the Sher-
man antitrust law, which defines such
conspiracy as a crime and provides
punishments of fine and imprisonment
therefor. Senator Allison was seen last
night by a reporter. and he submitted
to an interview on the coal strike.
I'm YOUR opinion, Senator, is not the
New York Americans the most proper
and effective way of breaking up the
coal trust and ending the present in
tense suffering of all the people caused
by the coal famine?"
After mature deliberation the distin-
guished statesman said:
This is one of the ways to deal with
the coal strike, but how long will it take
to ,ndict, try and convict the parties. no
one can tell. should think that while
1t may be effective it would not meet
the present situation in time to relieve
the suffering that is likely to occur be-
cause of the coal famine
Asked what in his judgement was the
best course to pursue Senator Allison
stated that the question was broad
one and that he did not care to attempt
to answer 1t.

A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE.

About "BIood Purifiers and "Tenies."
Every drop of blood, every bone,

There is no other way and the idea ina,
a medicine in itself can purify the blood
or supply new issues and strong
nerves is ridiculous and on par with
the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or indl-

fallacy. that weak stomach which re-
fuses to digest food can be made to do
so by irritating and intiaming the bow
els by pills and cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure indi-
gestion, sour stomach, gas and bloatin5

digestive principles which weak stom-
achs lack, and unless the deficiency OF
pepsin and diastase is supplied 1t is
