son OF a farmer, Mr.. Burkett learned early
In life the meaning of hard work, and
formed habits Of industry which have been
Of immense advantage to him at all times
since. His early education was such as
all farmer boys get In the country schools,
supplemented later by a course at Tabor
college, from which institution he was
graduated in 1890. He then removed to
Nebraska and was engaged as principal Of
the public schools at Leigh. Two years as
n teacher was followed by his entering
Nebraska university as a law student. In
1898 he was given the degree Of LII. b., and
in 1895 that of LII. NJ. He was admitted
to the bar Of Lancaster county in 1898 and
has practiced law there ever since. He
served one term in the Nebraska legisla-
ture as a representative from Lancaster
county. In 1898 he was elected to con-
gress, and in 1900 was reelected by an in
creased vote. His service in congress has
been so satisfactory to the people OF his
district that he was unanimously renomI-
mated by the republican convention. Mr..
Burkett Is known as one OF the workers OF
congress.

Deadwood people are not strangers to
Omaha. Ever since the first gold was
washed out Of the sands OF Whitewood
gulch the friendliest Of feeling has existed
between the Gate City and the mining
camps Of the Black Hills. At one time or
another commercial rivals Of Omaha have
tried to break this friendship. but without
success. As years go on the bond becomes
stronger, and as the Industrial. commercial
and social life of that wonderful realm Of
natural wealth expands the people Of the
Black Hills look more and more on
Omahans as their friends. Exchanges OF
calls are frequent and pleasant. Last sum-
mer when the Elks Of Deadwood held a
street fair and carnival Omaha people filled
a special train and visited not only Dead
wood, but all the other leading towns OF
tf' region. In the fall, when the festival
OF Ak-Sar-Ben was on, Black Hills people
filled a train and came to Omaha. In this
tie spirit OF friendship between the people
OF the two sections was well exemplifed.
1t has not been Of sudden growth, nor is it
likely to be quickly extinguished.

THE DEiD KNIGHT.
BY Holm MANSFIELD.

Holm MANSFIELD
The Cieanly rush of the mountain air
And the mumhling. Erumbilng humhlebceS
Are the only things that wander there.
The pitiful bones are laid at ease
And grass has grown in the tangled hair
And rambling branlbIe binds his knees.
To shrieve his soul from the panGs of hell
The only requiem bells that rang
Were the harebeII and the heatherbeiI
flushed he is with the holy spell
In the gentle hymn the wind sang,
And he lies quiet and sleeps well.
He is blanched and beached with the summer
The misty rain ana the cold dew
Have altered him from the kingly
That his lady loved and his knew,
To CHASTITY boodless skeleton.
The Sorrel has tWined about his bones.
The Struggling ivy twists and creeps
In his eye sockets. The nettle keeps
Vigil about him while he sleeps.

In a dreary tune throughout the day,
With a music wistful, eerie thin

Imperial.

The Colorado desert, as viewed from the railroad, is one of the most forbidding tracts of drifting sand and worthless landscape to be found in America. And yet a few miles south from Old Beach, or Imperial Junction, is to be found the edge of a vast tract of as fertile soil as the sun ever shone upon.
 This whole desert country lies be- northwest to the International Boun- dary Line at Calexico, distance of about one hundred miles, with a width of from twenty to thirty miles.
 The Southern Pacific Company is constructing a branch line from Old Beach to Imperial, distance of thirty miles, and cars are to be running to that town by September 1, 1902.
 Imperial is destined to become the commercial center of the largest irri- gated tract of land under one ir- rigation system to be found in Amer ica-5OO,OOO acres in the United States and 100000 in Lower Califor- mia.
 The California Development Con- pany is the owner of this Imperial Canal System, which takes the water from the Colorado River, eight miles below Yuma, just above the boundary line, takes it through Lower Califor- mia for a distance of about fifty miles, and then turns it back into the United States again few miles east of Calexico, another new town just start ed on the boundary line, near Cam eron Lake.
 The first water was turned into this delta country in June, 1901, and with in a year nearly 10000 acres had been placed under cultivation - mostly planted to barley, wheat and alfalfa. These crops grew vigorously, some of the barley yielding from three to four tons of hay to the acre, and would have yielded seventy-five bushels of grain had the crop been allowed to ripen. There is presented on this page a view of a sample twenty-acre field of barley, for which the owner refused $500 before it was ready to cut as it stood in the field.
 About 150OOO acres of the govern ment land has been taken by settlers and water rights secured for the same.
