are good stories, ell OF them are worth
repeating, but none Of them, az love
stories, can compare FOR mystery and
eccentricfty with this which has Just
terminated In the Holmes shooting.
The adventure. for 1t was such, be-
gan Jan. 20, 1901, when Maud Holmes.
who was then sewing at Canton, town
five miles from her fathers farm, re-
ceived her first letter. The letter was
well written in a neat round hand OF
somewhat old fashion. The phrase
ology, quantity formal and dignified,
was held throughout the correspon-
dence. Even the proposals Of mar
riage, of which there were afterward
many, retained the careful wording.
The first letter, the opening chapter
to Miss Holmes, reads:
Madam: Allow me the privilege of adj
dressing you, although we are entire
strangers to each other. A gentleman
giving the rame of Henry Smith gave me
your name and address, saying you are
a maiden lady living near Galva and en-
ployed at Canton. By way of introduce
ton l Will say my name is George R.
Clark of East Toledo, Ohio. l am very
favorably impressed with Kansas and will
probably invest in either Kansas or Okla
EOna.
Wherever 1 invest there will be one es-
Sential part lacking. Therefore, l pen you
these lines. If this reaches you and you
with me it would give me the greatest
pleasure. l wish l could present myself
to YOU in person and if all is agreeable

however, as to just how much the
government will actually undertake Of
the work. All the government will do
for the settler is to bring the water in
to his lands. Beyond that, everything
will be left to the settler himself, and
he, too, will have to pay all further
expenses of making the land capable
of cultivation.
One easily can conceive the enorm-
GUS benefit that will accrue to the
nation from this legislation. The work
is to pay for itself, all the expenditure
being reimbursed to the national treas
ury. Yet as a result of the work done
60,000,000 acres Of now useless land
will become arabic and settled.
For example, with reclaimed land in
Southern states, being used for fruit
culture, as few as twenty acres of it
would suffice for the maintenance Of
a family. In Northern sections of the
country, Of course, producing grain
crops, the farm would have to contain
not less than one hundred and fifty
acres. If the average farm be esti-
mated at seventy-fi five acres, then this
coming reclamation of 60,000,000 acres
will furnish, say, farms and conse-
quently the means of support for l.
900 families. Not alone these fam
lilies, but the agricultural labOrers on
the farms, and the people in other
occupations whom farms would indi-
rectly support, must also be taken into
consideration in estimating the total
benefit to the people this legislation
promises to bestow.
In addition to the purely agricultural
aspect of the matter, we must remem-
Der what would also be bound to re-
suit from settling of farmers on the
present arid area-that is to say, the
subsequent building of towns and
cities, with all that that implies.

lives near here. For more than a year
she has been writing letters TO George
Clark. She did not know who Clark
was, nor how he came to know of her.
The affair appealed to her sense of the
rOmantic-fOr a time she thought she
was a real heroine.
Some months ago Clark appeared at
the Holmes farm. When Maud Holmes
saw him, old, lame and work disffgur-
ed, she told him she was only joking
in the letters and that she never would
see him. again. After that q strange
man, supposedly Clark, prowled about
the Holmes farm after dark Often he
came close to the house and listened
to Miss Holmes as she entertained her
real lovers.
When the Holmes dog was poisoned
they at once suspected Clark. Mr..
Holmes threatened to catch the man,
dead or alive. Three months later-on
Saturday night-July 5-Maud Holmes
was shot as she stood before a Win
dow in her room.
The following Thursday Sheriff Seitz
arrested Doc" Ryno, a man of fifty
years, who has lived on his farm two
miles east of the Holmes place, for
more than thirty years. Ryno is a
member of the district school commit
tee and has a wife and four children.
Although he is so cratic that no one
likes him, still he has not before been
thought i'll of. More than a hundred
letters have been brought in evidence
against him and handwriting experts
have identified the letter. writer as he
who writes the checks for the school
district.
Out on bail, charged with criminal
libel, which was first brought against
him, RynO was rearrested last week
the second charge was assault to kill.
From now, until the time when Maud
Holmes can appear in court against
hlm-if that time ever comes-Ryno
will live in Jail. Confinement affects
his heart and his infirmities are thus
more noticeable, but people are not in
cllned to sympathize with him. His
wife and children are almost his only
friends and his sons are preparing to
sacrifice their big farm to clear their
fathers reputation. Cne- prother-in-
law, Ell Wood, to whom Ryno had not
spoken for fifteen years, comes to the
defense as we'll. When the two men
shook hands after Ryno's arrest an
enmity of years was forgotten.

to creeks reclaimed first. Valleys are
also favored.
Two Large for individuals.
The coming government participa-
ton in arid land reclamation-which
is now, by this act of congress, practi-
cally an accomplished fact, is amply
justified by conditions. Individuals,
operating in a purely private capacity,
cannot be looked to to accomplish the
task. It is too large a contract. In
short, irrigation efforts on large ba-
sis never have paid. The government
owns the land and the streams both,
and thus it is placed in a position of
UNNECESSARILY greater advantage than
any private or corporate irrigators
could ever hope to be.
This congressional enactment has
surmounted one great difficulty of the
paSt-it provides for a fund for irriga-
ton purposes Which, instead of being
an appropriation from the treasury,
will be raised from the sale of public
lands, which are to be sold to settlers
in lots of from 40 to 100 acres, pay
ment to be made within ten years, in
annual installmentS. Full title will be
given when all is paid up; the proceeds
lands, and these will in turn be sold,
everything being accomplished with
out imposing any charge on the people
at large. The moneys when invested in
the work and later repaid return to
the treasury.
Altogether, for the arid regions of
the West this new legislation will eff
feet important results. 1t will, to some
degree, keep the increase of arabic
lands in pace with that Of our popula-
ton.
Water works on an extensive scale
will be, Of course, established for this
new scheme, and by means of these
probably one-thfrd of the arid area will
be reclaimed at first. Smaller water
works in times long past were used for
irrigation. The same is true of New
Mexico. And that was long before
Europe had any knowledge of the ex-
iStence of America.
Well informed opinion concerning
cost of the work of reclamations says
that this will, in all likelihood, average
about SIS to the acre. On the other
hand, it may in certain cases reach as
much as $25 an acre.
There should be no Misrepresentation,

His age and infirmities will at any

Which the prosecution may be able to

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Aug. 1.-THE
new act Of congress providing for the
reclamation of arid lands will affect
some 60,0O0,000 of acres. If the sale
of public lands from which the funds
for the reclaiming of arid regions are
to come proves as profitable as il is
hoped, and the government is able to
raise every year $2,500,000, with which
to establish works capable Of irrigating
yearly 100000 acres, it is obvious that
a great deal more will have to be done
by enterprise other than governmental
if the prophecy of the entire reclamation
Of the whole 60,O0O,O00 acres within the
next forty years is to be fulfilled.
About 10 per cent, it is fair to calcu-
late, Of the total arid area in the coun-
try will thus be available for reclama-
ton as arabic land. Necessarily it will
be the level stretches of country in
arid regions which will receive the at
tentfon of the irrigators. These level
stretches have natural water supplies
only for limited portion of their ex-
tent. To cultivate artif1cially, noun
tain streams will have to be tapped by
engineering process, and their water
directed into made channels leading
the life giving element into the parch-
ed region below. This will, no doubt,
be principally accomplished by means
Of dams at favorable points along the
streams and rivers.

correspondent describes the disola-

Cotton is nothing but stems; corn

Electio1. Of Teachers.

At a recent meeting of the Board
of Trustees the following teachers
were elected to teach in the Palmet-
to Collegiate Institute for the ensu-
ing year: Prof. O. D. Seay, Prof.
James r. Hope and Miss Mary Wing
ard. The faculty is an unusually
strong one, as all have had college
training.
Prof. Hope was educated at New
berry college and has experience in
the school room of seven or eight
years. He is a young man of afi-
able manners who makes friends
wherever he goes. He together with
the accomplished young woman he
married not long since, will soon
move to Lexington, and will be quite
an addition to our society.
Miss Mary Wingard, who has been
given charge of the primary depart
ment is graduate of Walhalla Fe-
male college, and has a number of
years experience in teaching. Miss
Wingsrd has taught many good
schools, the last being at Red Bank,
which one she has taught most sue
cessfully for several years. She
comes highly Recommended and will
doubtless prove most worthy addi-
tion to the Institute faculty.
