beautiful, promising a day of real rest
and worship, and the promise was fui-
filled At 1890 the Auditorium was
flied. the boys occupying the seats d.
rectly in front of the speakers desk.

that not an ordained minister took any
prominent part; only young men were
brought to the front.
Prayer was offered by @. c. Robin
son of the Trenton Y. M. c. A., Scrip
ture was read by Charles F. Nutter of
Good VIII Farm, and the address by
delivered by Charles w. Gilkey of Wa
tertown. a member of the junior class
of Harvard College. Mr. Gilkey spoke
most irnpressively to the boys of the
building of life urging that care be
taken in laying the foundation, select
ing the plan. raising the superstructure
and in the use of the building. 1t was
n manly. strong and effective message
The Auditorium was again filled at

| that the annual Assembly sermon was
| to be preached by Rev. G. w. Hinck-

none were disappointed, as he spoke
| specially to the boys, urging upon them
the Importance of care in the voyage
of life. warning them to avoid the dan
gers of drifting, head winds and the
| place where two seas met. 1t was a
| timely and pertinent message, causing
| Ill present to feel something at least
| OF the SOlemnity of life and the sacred
ness of living.
Mr. Hnclsley was assisted in this
service by Ivan G.. Flood of fremont
Temple. Boston, and Clarence III. Guild,
Jr, of Providence. Miss Sarah Monroe
Hall sang most effectively in each of
the services of the day.
Notwithstanding the large number in

quiet and orderly. 1t has been an ideal

| one can question the real benefit OF
such a day spent in camp, the woods

The Cuban Repuhlic.

Conditions in Cuba have been much i'm
proved since the Americans took control
of affairs. and since they are now free to
manage their own affairs the question
arises as to their ability to maintain self
government. The ! experiment will be
watched with much interest. In this case
it is a worthy experiment, but if you are
sickly it is not advisable to experiment
with any of the many so-called health re-
storers that have no merit. The only way
to recover your health is to perfect the di-
gestion. keep the bowels open and the
blood pure. For this purpose you cannot

Duty of the Government.
The majority OF the committee is Of the
opinion that an imperative duty devolves
upon the American congress to lend assist
ance to the development OF the great arid
and semi-arid portion OF our country now
but sparsely settled, but capable when fully
developed of maintaining a large and pros
porous population. In this territory must
be found homes for the sons OF the farmers

cannot escape, which Is paramount in i'm
portance to every other duty now laid upon
the American people. II Is a duty which
every government since the dawn OF re-
corded history occupying an arid region has
recognized and fulfilled. Surely this great
and enlightened government wifi not be less
faithful in assuming its responsibilities in
this regard than were ancient Egypt and
Assyria and in latter days have been the
governments Of India, Spain and Italy.
1T should be borne in mind that irri-

user In his right and prevent the possibility
Of speculative use OF water rights, the
character Of the right which is contem-
plated under the act is clearly defined to be
that Of appurtenance or inseparability from
the lands irrigated and founded on and lin
tied by beneficial use. In this way uniformity
OF record of the rights is secured, while the
cost Of maintaining the administrative ma
chinery of water distribution is placed on
users and the states. The government Is
free from all expense or respo Ai5ility
when projects are completed I'd paid for.
The character Of the water rights contem-
plated being clearly defined, the secretary
Of the interior would not be authorized to
begin construction OF works for the irriga-
ton Of lands In any state or territory until
satisfied that the laws Of said state OF ter
ritory fully recognized and protected water
rights Of the character contemplated. This
feature Of the bill VIII undoubtedly tend to
uniformity and perfection OF water laws
throughout the region affected.
To Secure Uniformity.
Section 9 is intended to insure a uniform
and harmonious development throughout
the entire arid and semi-arid region. As
the necessities Of reclamation require all
or any portion Of the fund may be used
anywhere in the region, but ultimately the
major portion derived from land sales in
any state or territory in which there are
feasible irrigation projects shall be used
for the benefit OF lands in the said state or
territory. The provisions Of this section
do not bind the secretary to the 'construc-
ton Of irrigation projects anywhere, but
are intended to relieve him from the pres

bear upon him for the continuous expendi-
ture OF a very large portion Of the fund
In any particular region.
Section 10 authorizes the secretary of the
interior to perform all acts and make such
rules and regulations as may be necessary
for carrying out the provisions OF the act.
what Measure viii Accomplish.
1T Is confidently hoped" says the report
that the measure will produce a fund
amounting at the beginning to from 81, OOO,-
600 to $1,000, 900 per annum, which
will gradually increase by the sales
Of land under the various pro-
tects undertaken and that this fund
will be sufficient to construct such works
and carry on such enterprises as are neces.
sary to be undertaken by the government
to insure a reasonable, systematic and
harmonious development Of the irrigation
possibilities of the arid region.
Estimating the fund at 2 $500, 900 per an.
mum, which is probably high, and the ex.
pense necessary to be incurred by the gov.
eminent in order to bring water within
reach OF the settler. at $40 per acre, the
fund would be up to the time 1t was augu.
mented by sales Of irrigated lands by sui
hcient to make possible the irrigation o
100000 acres Of land per annum. Any con.
siderable increase over this amount mus
come from the use Of the moneys received
from the sales Of irrigated lands, there
fore the entire arid region would be in
