In Virginia it is unlawful for nom
residents TO kill game in certain parts
OF the state. In % states and every
where i'll Canada licenses must be Sc
cured before non-residents may hunt
certain game or hunt at all. In nine
states and two Canadian provinces a
like restriction is imposed on residents,
but the fees are usually very much
smaller and often merely nominal.
Thus in Nebraska, South Dakota,
Washington and Wisconsin resident
licenses cost 81, while nonresident
licenses vary from $40 to s25, accord
ing to the state; in North Dakota and
Michigan the fee for residents is IS
cents, while that for non-residents is
s25. In Minnesota 25 cents and s25
are the respective charges for licenses
to shoot big game. In Wyoming the
same distinction is observed in the is
sue of gun licenses for hunting big
game, resident being charged a fee
of 81 and required to secure a license
only for shooting in counties other
than that in which he resides. while
a nonresident pays $40 for the priv
ilege of hunting anywhere within the
state. Some of the Canadian licenses
are even more expensive British
Columbia demands $50 for a general
license, and Newfoundland 500 for
caribou license. Minnesota has a
special license with a fee of S25 for
non residents from states that issue
licenses. New York
makes each nonresident subject to
the same restrictions as to license fees
and conditions that a resident of New
York is subject to in the state in which
such nonresident resides

The school fund of Maine is made
up of ! mill on the valuation of the
State, which is known as the mill tax,
and which for the year 1902 amounted
to 1896, ,699.64, and one-half of the tax
the State. This latter is apportioned
on July 1st of each year by the treas
urer of the State. The savings bank
tax is assessed twice a year, in June
and December. These two assessments
are added together and divided in
equal parts, one going into the gen.
eral funds of the State and the other
being added to the school resources.
The December, 1901, assessment
against the banks amounted to $685.
1889, and the June, 1902, assessment
amounted to 65,S31.41, making a to-
tai for the school year of 25,031.30.
One-half of this amount was $780,
515.65. This money was turned over
to the credit of the school department.
Added to the mill tax the sum of
$599,215.29 was secured. In 1901 the
school fund and the mill tax amount
ed to 1852, 162.1S. or $3T,053.11 less than
this years fund amounts to. This in
crease is accounted for by the increase
in the total savings banks tax for the
last half of 1901 and the first part of
1902.
Should the tax on savings banks
be reduced by the coming Legislature
to the extent of S150000. as it is in
timated will be asked, the school fund
will be a loser of one-half this amount,
or $4,000.

IF DEMPSEY RETURNS
Supreme Court Will Act on His
Appeal

Peter Dempsey, VINO escaped from
while under conviction for murder
in the first degree, can obtain hear
ing of his case before the supreme
court if he delivers himself to the
authorities of Montana before Aug.
4. If he does not surrender the ap-
peal will never be heard, and he will
be hanged if caught.
AS a result of the motion of the
attorney general, the supreme court,
in an opinion prepared by Chief JUS
tice Brantley, Monday, ordered the
dismissal of the appeal upon the date
mentioned, the case being temper
arily dismissed in the meantime. In
the opinion, it is stated that the post
ponement appears to be the wisest
course, though in many states an
appeal is dismissed Immediately
after the accused becomes a fugitive.
Presumably, Peter Dempsey him
self is troubled least of all concerned
in the case which means life or
death to him if he is in Montana. It
is said that he is in South Africa en-
joying or suffering the ceremonies
incident to the British attempt to ex-
terminate the Beers and the bitter
opposition to this course made by
the latter
Just where Peter Dempsey is now
no man can say. The story is that
he is fighting with the Beers, aiding
them to retain liberty-liberty being
one of the aforesaid Dempsey's as
sets. Certain it is that the authori-
ties of Montana have not heard any
thing definite of the man they SO
much desire since the bold jail break
last summer.
In the opinion of the supreme
court, a defendant who has applied
for a new trial really forfeits all
claim to a hearing when he removes
himself from the jurisdiction of the
courts of the state. AS such he is
not entitled to consideration. To or.
der a new trial would be useless un.
der the circumstances, for there is
nobody to try.
The opinion also says that the fact
that the laws of this state allow pro
ceedings on writs of error without
the actual presence of the criminal
does not mean that steps will be al
lowed to be taken when he is nc
longer within the jurisdiction of the
court.

1oo,oooooo ACRES REDEEMED
AS In Every Other Natural Advan-
tage, the United States Leads the
World in the Matter of Irrigation
Resources-What Figures Show.

Civilization can be traced to mans
use of water The earliest civiliza-
ton sprang from agriculture, and in
its first stages all agriculture was
carried on by means of irrigation.
The world over according to the eth
nologists, primitive crops were grown
under conditions of great aridity-
on sandy plains and hot deserts.
There grains and roots were cult
waited by the early tribes, while the
rich and verduous valleys were left
to those who followed the chase and
the hunt. 1t was easier to control
the gushing spring on the deserts
edge than it was to fell trees and
subdue the rank vegetation of the
humid lands. AS men toiled, thew
became inventive and cooperative
so that out of these early efforts of
agriculture grew cities and nations
In America that region which is
now the most arid and forbdding
can boast of an old and marvellous
civilization, says Guy E. Mitchell
corresponding secretary of the Ma
t1onal Irrigation association. The
ruins of great cities in the south
western part of the United States
are wonderful evidence of a master
full race far ante-dating the Aztecs
and the Toltecs. Their wealth grew
from successful agriculture which
was wrought upon lands that are to-
day waste and have laid for centur-
les, dry barren and naked, following
the disuse of the great irrigation
works where the flow of rivers was
stored in mountain basins, where
aqueducts were cut through the Hv.
ing rock, and canals constructed
scores of miles in length.
With the disuse of the water. the
wealth of a nation persisted and the
people disappeared Yet the water
is there as ever and as the seasons
roll around the SHOWS of winter melt
and the life fluid which was once the
resource of great community
wastes its value on the desert sand
or runs uselessly to the sea.

tage, the United States leads the

SENATOR GIBSoN's BILL.
For More Land for Montana State
State University.

A Washington special to the Inter
Mountain says:
The committee on public lands of
the senate has amended and made
favorable report of Senator Glib
sons bill granting additional lands
to the site of the University of Mon
tana at Missoula.
The bill as originally introduced
proposed to grant to the university
the south half of the northeast quar-
ter, south half of the northwest quar-
ter, section 26; east half of the south
north, range 10 west.
The lands in section 27 were
shown to be within the primary linn
its of the grant to the Northern Pa
cific railroad company, and the title
to them had Injured to said company
under certain acts of congress. The
bill was therefore amended by strik-
ing out the east half of the south
east quarter of section 81, and was
further amended to grant the lands
to the state for the use of the uni
versity and provision made for the
issuance of patent to the state.
The amendments were made upon
the recommendation of the secretary
of the interior and to conform to the
Montana code, which provides that
the state board of education is au-
thorized to receive donations of land
for a university site only in the name
of the state.
Since the bill was introduced the
Northern Pacific Railroad company
has donated to the university the
southeast quarter of the northeast
quarter of section 81, containing 40
acres, and has assured the president
of the university that they will con-
firm title to the east half of the
southeast quarter of section 81,

flow into it.
Since 1888 the United States geo.
logical survey has been at work in
vestigating the reservoir sites of the
arid degion. AS almost every stream
has number of different storage
sites, it requires careful investigation
to determine which is the most feast
BILE and economical. When a determ-
ination has been reached, the govern
ment Immediately withdraws the site
and the catchment basin, which is
the source of the water supply, from
private entry. In the mountains of
Colorado alone, the geological survey
has determined some so of these
sites.
The San Carlos dam site on the
ella river, in Arizona, for which an
appropriation is recommended by the
secretary of the interior, is a good
example of storage possibilities. The
proposed dam has span of some
900 feet, connecting the lofty walls
of the river canyon at height of 10
feet above the stream. The San Car
los dam would form a lake covering
5000 acres, capable of irrigating 120,-
900 acres. This is the same river
whose waters thousands of years ago
were used for the growing of crops
on the arid plains of Arizona
Hundreds of other storage basins,
larger and smaller nestle in the
bosom of the Rocky mountains, from
Mexico to Montana, each capable of
supplying the life blood for many
new homes.
Some idea of the storage possibili-
ties of western rivers may be gath
cred from study of their flows The
floods of Kings river, California, af-
ford an example of a large body of
water running to waste, which could
be advantageously stored. The gov
eminent figures show the flow of this
river during the month of June to
be about $4,000 cubic feet per second,
or about 100000 gallons every min
ute. Within a month from the time
of such a flood, caused by melting
snow, the flow of the river recedes
to only little over 200 cubic feet
per second or about one-seventieth
of it's former volume.
The Yakima river, WASHINGTON. in
time of high water. runs from ten
to fourteen thousand cubic feet per
second, and at low water has less
than 1000 cubic feet.
The Gunnison river, in Colorado,
often flows during May 10000 cubic
feet per second. or 10000. 900 900
gallons day, while at other times it
is reduced to merely large creek.
Almost all the streams of the west
are subject to violent fiuctuation. at
one time tremendous rivers. at 9TH
ers narrow ribbons of silver and
sometimes even dry beds. The res
ervoiring of these flood waters would
not only insure bountiful crops for
vast tracts of land now waste desert
places, and create homes for millions
of American citizens, but would in
the very beginning prevent the disas-
trous floods caused by the same wa
tiers, which short time following
could be used to such great advan-
tage.

the arid region can be redeemed to
civilization through the use of the
water supplies of the states in which
the lands are situated
How is the water to be made valu-
ALE?
Largely by the use of storage res
ervoirs-great basins lying in the
mountains and containing outlets
that can be damned thus forming
receptacles which, when filled with
the waters from the rains and melt
ing SHOWS running into them, will
make large and deep lakes. From
these lakes the water can be let
down as required to fertilize agricul-
tural lands lying in the valleys be-
low.
The idea of irrigation storage res
ervoirs is an old and universal one.
In India, aside from the great gov
eminent works, there are thousands
of small reservoirs-tanks, they are
called-where the Hindoo has for
centuries stored the rain waters for
use in irrigating his patch of rice
and millet-the teeming millions.
Ruins in northern Algeria show that
thousands of years ago extensive res
ervoirs made populous the land
which is at present nothing but sand
and desert, only excepting the mar
be ruins of ancient cities, testimon-
ials to former greatness. The old
king Nebuchadnezzar is credited with
having constructed near Babylon one
of the most gigantic irrigation reser-
voirs of history An immense lake
was this, containing 100000, 900
cubic feet of water, sufficient to irri-
gate 100000 acres of land.
The storage of water for agricul-
tural use is something which appeals
to the majority of men. 1t smacks of
the practice of the careful husband
man, who in the time of plenty builds
granary to store away his surplus
produce against the day of scarcity.
The storing of water is the saving
of resource which comes to us an
nually, and unless it is saved, runs
uselessly away, often creating floods
and causing great damage.
What does general storage res
ervoir look like?
The general idea as to the physical
appearance of a good mountain res
ervoir site-before the water is i'm
pounded is far from correct. One
pictures such basin as a deep gorge
with narrow outlet, across which a
dam can be thrown from wall to
wall. The reservoir site which the
engineer selects would not be recog-
InlZable as such to the ordinary eve
Many apparently ideal sites have
such grade or fall that a dam. per-
haps even $50 fee in height would
pack I'D the water for only a short
distance and form lake of but small
dimensions. The best sites. generally
speaking, are those where the fall
or the ground is but very slight. per-
maps imperceptible to the naked eve.
the idea being to overflow as large
an area as possible above the dam.
such land, being situated in the
mountains, is usually worthless for
agricultural purposes. A good reser-
Volr site must also have tributary to
