UNDER THE irrigation kCT.
Engineering Parties Now Working
in Nine States.
100 YEARS. WORK IN SIGHT.

Washington, July 12.-F. H. Newell,
chief of the photographic division of
the geological survey, was asked to
explain what would be done first, what
second and what would be the ultimate
result of the undertaking of the federal
government to reclaim the vast arid
regions of the west.
1.-The first work to be DONE" was his
reply, sis to send civil engineering
parties into the field to investigate and
report on three distinct phases of the
work to be accomplished. For instance,
take given territory which it is de-
sired to irrigate: before any actual con-
struction is begun it is necessary to
ascertain the cost of the construction
of the dam, and the canals; to survey
and plan the details of each, and be-
sides, the law requires reports to be
made as to the amount of land to be
irrigated, and the probable benefit in
dollars and cents to each acre.
"When you realize that the work is
to be done, not at any given locality,
but that the most available locations
are to be selected, the vastness of the
work becomes more apparent"
Mr.. Newell stated that from the
passage of the irrigation bill to the
present time, the work done embraced
the sending out of surveying parties to
make observations and report on the
details.
The civil service commission is being
drawn on for civil engineers and the
field force is being increased as rapidly
as possible. Parties of this character
are now working in California, Oregon,
Washington, Montana, Utah, Nevada,
Idaho, Arizona and Colorado When
the reports have been received the data
will be forwarded to Washington and
here it will be classified, the merits of
each proposition compared with those
of other locations and the conclusions
of the experts presented to the secre-
tary of the interior. The work which
will be begun first will doubtless be on
the site which presents the best pros
poets of good results and shows the
most natural advantages.
Mr. Newell estimates that for the
next 100 years there cannot possibly
be irrigated more than 10000, 900 acres
of arid land, Notwithstanding the claim
in congress that something like 20O,-
900, 900 acres could be reclaimed. In
the far future he says it may be pos
sible to conserve the waters of the
mounts ms to such an extent as this,
but the realization of this vast dream
is far ahead at the present time. 1t
will doubtless be two or three years
before the actual work of construction
will be begun in any locality.

A Fortunate Postmaster.

Kirk, Ark, July 14th.-Mr. William
S. brennan, Postmaster at this office,
counts himself a very fortunate man.
Mr.. brennan in addition to being
postmaster is Justice of the Peace,
a member of the Christian church
and highly respected and useful cit
izen.
He has suffered for some time with
what some people would call rick
etts" or "rigors" of the kidneys-kid'
ney disease in very painful form.
He could not sleep, he had a dull
pain over his left kidney, was con-
tinually restless. could not lie still,
and had to get up through the night
several times and was also troubled
in this way during the day.
He used a few boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, remedy recently in
troduced in this state and advertised
as a cure for Kidney Disease, Rheu
matism, Malaria, ETC., and in short
time was completely restored to Wig
orous, good health. He is very CRATE
full to Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Pasture LANDS ADVANCING
Stockers And Feeders Are In Un-
usual Demand.
ONE FARMER MADE MISTAKE.

Topeka, July 1o.-"Pasture lands
have advanced fully 60 per cent in
price in Southwestern Kansas during
the past four years. said L. NJ. Axline.
of Medicine Lodge, land rents have
gone up accordingly. Quarter sections
used to rent for from $40 to SIS year
The same quarters now rent from SIT
to S25 year. Cattlemen who used to
pay 81 per head for having their cattle
pastured during the grass season now
pay from S1.50 to 81 head. Cattle
went through the past winter in better
shape than ever before. Corn looks
well. Grass is good. Cattle are plen-
tiful. Cheap corn, of course, means
cheap beef, but more money is made
on cheap beef with cheap corn than on
high beef with high corn. Our coun-
try is jammed full of stock cattle, and
buyers are coming in constantly to
buy them. Not long ago a farmer
who had considerable pasture and feed
on hand offered his neighbor sag a
head for bunch of 200 cattle. The
ncighbor thought he could do better by
shipping. He sent the bunch to Kan
sas City. The farmer followed the
cattle to Kansas City and bought them
and shipped them back. They cost
him only SCI laid down. The neighbor
lost 81 head, besides the expense of
shipment to Kansas City and return
and all commissions charged for
handling the bunch at the Kansas City
stock yards"

Galloways Get Best Price.

Topeka, July IA bunch of Gallo
ways fed near Frankfort were sold the
other day on the Kansas City market
for $685. a hundred, breaking the
record, and bunch of Jackson county
steers brought $3.50 hundred in Chi
cago, the highest ever paid on that
market since 1882, twenty years ago.
According to Chicago livestock papers,
S.. so breaks the record for the entire
past, for the reason that the record es-
tablished in 1852, 50. 30, was on few
cattle selected from large number.

Heavy Loss of Life.

Johnstown, Pa, July 14.-It can be
stated that of the 600 men supposed to
have entered the mouth of the rolling
mill mine of the Cambria Steel COM
pany, ninety are known to be dead and
twenty-five reached. Four hundred,
so the mine officials claim, escaped
when the explosion occurred, leaving
lightweight still to be accounted for
One of the volunteer rescuers who
came out with this load of dead stated
that fire was raging in parts of the
mine. Most of those who were brought
out alive had saved themselves by
crawling into chamber and turning
valve on the compressed air pipe line
which runs along the entry.

STRIKERS ACCEPT THE TERMS.
They Surrender the Main Point In the
Controversy.


Controversy.
Chicago, July 1.-THE strike of the
freight handlers is virtually settled.
BY the terms of the settlement tho
strikers accept the schedule of wages
offered them by the railroads on July
1. This schedule was emphatically
refused by the strikers at the time it
was made. 1t offered an average in
crease of 20 per cent for all classes OF
labor connected with the Freight
Handlers union. The demands of the
men would have made an average in
crease of about 80 per cent. The rail-
roads at the time of offering the in
crease, July l, said that under no
circumstances would they recognize
the union of the freight handlers to
the extent of allowing the officers of
the organizations to make terms for
the men with the officers of the rail-
roads by which they were employed.
This was one of the chief reasons for
the strike, the men insisting that the
union should be fully recognized.
The action of the transfers was a
potent factor in settling the strike.
They took strong issue with the freight
handlers and intimated very plainly
that no assistance could be expected
from them, inasmuch as the freight
handlers had struck against the advice
of the Chicago Federation of Labor.

Washington, July 1O.-The cattlemen

modification of the official order for
the removal of the fences from the
public ranges of the country. A dele
cation of Western senators and con-
gressmen appealed to the president to
grant further extension of time for
the removal of the drift" fences on
the ranges. The president declined
to further hold back the enforcement
of the order. The same men appealed

s500,oOO WORTH OF PRODUCE.
This Amount Due to Arrive Aud May be
Dead Loss.

Chicago, July 14.-After receiving
the consent of the freight handlers,
the members of the board of arbitra-
ton prepared list of demands for the
men to present to tie railroads and
they said they were assured that they
would be acceptable to the railroads
The general managers said that they
would meet the men and use every
possible means to reach settlement.
There was rioting, but nobody was
seriously injured. The chief sufferers
were transfers who tried to deliver
goods at the freight houses. All the
streets leading to the stations were
picketed and it was impossible for a
tcamster to get load to any depot
without being stopped. The drivers
for the commission houses informed
their employers that they would handle
goods for the Lake Lines and for the
Express companies, but they would
not deliver anything to the freight
houses or haul anything away from
them.
This means, according to the COM
mission men, that $500, 900 worth of
produce to arrive will be allowed to
spoil unless the strike shall be settled
at once.

GOOD NEWS PREDOM|NATES.
Less Than The Customary Summer
ldleness.
PRICES FULLY MAINTAINED.

New York, July AR. G. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade says:
Good news predominates, although
unfavorable weather proved a draw
back at many points and new labor
disputes arose. There is less than the
customary midsummer idleness in man
ufacturing industries, despite the
scarcity of fuel. Commodity prices are
fully maintained. Railway earnings
thus far available for June average 0.
per cent larger than last years and
20. 6 per cent above those of 1900 New
England shoe shops are more fully
engaged than at any previous time
during this year. Union leather is
firm, but domestic buyers are taking
little hemlock, the best inquiry being
for export. Upper leather is active at
the west. A large purchase of packer
hides has strengthened the tone of
Chicago, while Texas hides arrive more
freely and concessions are made. Ex-
port orders for cotton goods are still
disappointing, and the home demand
is quiet, yet mills are occupied. At the
south there is disposition to delay
spinning until the new crop begins to
move, and this tendency is also report
ed in England. In woolens the best
feature is the recorder business in
heavy weights, quick delivery being
desired.
Corn has again been the prominent
feature of the markets for domestic
staples. Spectators at the west Sc
cured control of the 5000, 900 bushels
in the visible supply, and compelled
the short interests to cover contracts
at disastrously high prices. Farmers
reserves are evidently insignificant,
for attractive prices do not bring out
even fair volume of receipts. Wheat
was quiet and strong and exports from
all parts of the United States were
only 2,25O, O99 bushels, compared with
1883, 1916 bushels year ago.

FEARFUL MINE EXPLOSION.
Johnstown Has an Awful Disaster With
Great Loss of Life.

Great Loss of Life.
Johnstown, Pa, July 2.-Johnstown
has again been visited by an appalling
disaster, only less frightful than the
awful calamity of May 81. 1891, in cost
of life. A terrible explosion took place
in the Cambria Steel company's rolling
mill mine under West Mont Hill
At midnight President Powell Stack
house gave out the following statement:
1.-The disaster is an unusual one and
came upon us entirely unexpected.
The mine had been inpected only three
days ago, and was pronounced in sGtis-
factory condition. In the thirty days
that the mine has been in operation no
serious accidents have occurred. The
cause is yet indefinite, but believe it
was caused by escaping gas from the
fifth level, which was closed and was
not being worked because it contained
gas, into the sixth heading.
1.-The number of casualties is now
placed at 125. No list of the names of
the dead miners can be given for the
majority of them were foreigners and
were known only by check and not by
name.
