Our legislators seem to regard irrigation as some

1t was the beginning of civilization. The first agri-
culture was accomplished through irrigation. 1t wac

were either on the edge of or in the deserts. The
earliest civilization of America indelibly stamped its

BEGAN IN THE
VERY DAWN OF CIVILIZATION


The Anglo-SaxOn invasion of this country began
tied first. The Atlantic seaboard dotted with
homes and farms as the AMMAN cut his way into the
primeva forest. This great and-seeking movement
went as far west the Tooth meridian. There it
ment of a continent the home builder had found If
the main good farming land with sufficient rainfall to
grow and mature crops. He knew nothing of irriga
ton.
But in western Kansas and Nebraska the ram
fall found to be insufficient for agriculture and
there the great tide of home settling halted, until
the Anglo-Saxon realizing that rivers flowing from
the snow-clad peaks of the Rocky Mountains carried
vast volumes of water to the seas which II spread
the desert plains would make them fruitful, and
beginning again where the forgotten people of thou
sands of years ago left off took up the problem Of
diverting those waters over the arid plains and
spreading them upon thirsty lands for the purpose
of growing crops.
The limit of development by individual enterprise
has now been nearly reached, although there yet re
main great tracts of irrigable public land. To turn
duty 1t is of the great questions of the day
The plan has the sanction of boards of trade and
chambers of commerce throughout the country and
the approval of the three great political parties in the
last campaign. 1t can no longer wait for action. The

A Modern Solomon.

1t nay not be generally known, but
it is nevertheless true, that Represent
alive Goldfogle, of New York, is a mod
ern Solomon. few years ago, when
Mr.. Goldfogle was on the bench, a case
came before him for trial in which he
displayed the wisdom of that sage old
philosopher. A jeweler by the name of
Newman received an order for a dia-
mond stud. He sent the precious gem
by a boy to deliver TO the customer.
The boy showed the stone to another
boy, who grabbed it and ran off with 1t.
The theft was reported to the police.
The boy who stole the stud became
frightened and turned the stolen prop
erty over to the police, stating that he
had found it. In the meantime a bar
tender by the name OF Rose reported to
the police that while at South Beach he
had lost valuable diamond stud. The
case was brought before Joseph Gold
fogle. and Newman and Rose appeared
to identify the stone turned over to
the police by the boy who claimed to
have found the stolen piece of jewell
~. After Mr.. Newman had furnished a
description of the stolen diamond with
out seeing 1t, Mr.. Rose was placed on
the stand and questioned. While his
lawyer was examining him. Judge Gold
fogle, unobserved, slipped from his shirt
front diamond stud and passed IL over
to Mr.. Rose. asking him to identify the
stone, and TO state IL the stone was his.
The witness took the stud and began
in the most positive manner to tell how
he knew the stud was his. and pointed
out various marks by which he could
identify it among others. When he had
finished the judge called Mr.. Newman
ard requested him to examine the stone.
After looking at 1t for a minute, Mr.
Newman said, Your honor, that is not
my property"
The lawyer for Mr.. Rose felt conf
dent he had won his case. At this
point Judge Goldfogle broke in and
said, We'll. the stud does not belong to
Mr.. Rose, it belongs to the court

TheFoot Of the ChicagoOTl

The foot of the Chicago girl Is
not TO be slandered hereafter. The
calunmy, as old as the Windy City
;'self. that Chicago girls have feet
only comfortably housed in her
ring boxes, has, been refuted IN a
manner truly dramatic. There
has been foot contest between the
members of rival dramatic COM
panies in Chicago, some composed
| of natives of that city and some
from New York, and it has been
proved that 4 Chicago girl could
wear a slipper too small for any
New York girl to put on.
The contest began with tho
statement of wardrobe mistress
that shoes made for a Chicago
chorus could not be worn by the
| New York damsels who became
their substitutes IN the New York
I production. When this story went
abroad, a Chicago shoe merchant
rose TO the occasion with the char
acteristic buoyancy of the Middle
West and produced slipper,
made for one of his north side Gus
toners, which he meekly requested
the members of New York com
pany to try on. Then ensued a
Cinderella scene more effective
than anything that was on the
stage at the moment.
The Broadway girls were conf
dent of success and eager to vin-
dictate the superiority of their city.
They tried on that shoe one after
another-or made the attempt
and not one of them could get her
foot in far enough b make an i'm
preston. They explained by say
ing that the make of the shoe was
the trouble, that it was too mar
row. or too flat i'll the sole, or
something, but no excuses were ac-
cepted. Finally. after all New
York had given up the task, lit
tie chorus girl picked up the slip
per and inserted her foot. 1t
fitted. Then, just as New York
was about to cheer, the small girl
said that she was 'born and
raised" in Chicago.
And another hoary Illusion is
swept into the past.
