RECIPROCITY.

There Is an Identity Of Interest between Alaska and tho Yukon territory that should draw the people of both of these countries Into as close lf not a eIcssr union and fel- lowship than that which thsv may have with other portions cf their own respective nations. The Yukon press is advocating complete reciprocity with Canldl for nlnlng machinery and other eonoditles destined for use ln Al ska and the Yukon. Mining Is certainly the Infant industry Of this country and lts output Is as "6nishsd" as Is wool and mlny other productions tha, have been held to require protection. The manufacturer of mining machinery does not concern either of thsss great undsvsloped territories and the fostering care extended to the great and paving naehlnsry plants Is but a burden sltdlet on an Industry yet in Its crldest inflncV ln vast territories that require fostering in every production undertaking within their confines, gul,s as much ss has ever been sSsentlll Co the upbullding Of the Ersa, Industries that have become so powerful that they are able Co compete ln and in many elses enn,tol the markets of the world. Bu, neither can The Yukon or Alaskl ask the parent countries to extend them special legislation. Their conditions, however, may contribute ln great measure to show that both the general interests Ot the mining Industry of both the United States and Canada dsmind that the Splen- dld mineral prospects ln the rswer regions should no, be bllghtst by the imposition of a burden that may Increase the cost of tho plants required to a quarter more than their 1Ormll price. lt Is not right that tts thriving and the developed portions of sltbsr country should continue to fattsn through sxae,loos Imposed upon pioneer undertakings.

went chatrernig along well worn trail
around the hill, when spying dainty

what it was.

modest mien holding out one hand, from
which depended a silver cup attached to
a fine long chain. The statue stood be-
side spring OF clear cold water.
'Oh let us all have drink some one
exclaimed. What was our surprise.
when tue cup was dipped in the pool.
to hear a sweet and sIvery chime above
us on the hill. which WAS repeated

Just then our guide stepped up to the

hear the legend pertaining to the statue
and the chimes. OF course we all
promptlv'answered yes.

How the Land is to be
Taken Up.
27I,ooo ACRES OF LAND
When Filing Settler Pays rs Cents
an Acre to State and rs Cents
I1ore When Making Proof.

For the benefit OF the JOURNAL
readers many OF who have inquired
as to how they could acquire land
under the propos d Twin Falls
canal, we publish the following
which gives a full explanation:
Those wishing information should
address the secretary Of the state
land board in Boise. He will
cheerfully give all possible infor-
nation on the subject. However,
it will be of interest to present some
features Of the method OF acquiring
land under the proposed irrigation
system for the benefit of the general
public.
Lands under the proposed works
can be filed on by settlers in the
oiice of the state land board and
nowhere else. Though a person
may have exercised his rights else
where it will not effect his right to
take up land under these works. |
No individual can enter more than
100 acres. The settler may prove
up whenever he has 20 acres under
cultivation, but it must be done in
three years. None but actual set
tiers can take land.
AT the time Of filing the settler
must pay 25 cents an acre to the
state and 25, cents more at the
time of making final proof.
For the water the settler pays !
$25 a share, each share represent I
ing an acre. OF this, S. is paid at 3
the time Of entry and the remain
Ter in five annual installments.
When the shares shall have
oeen paid for, the works will belong a
o the settlers, and will be nanag- s
d as a district. 1t is provided in Z
he contract between the state and "
he company, that settlers shall il
ave preference in getting employ |;
nent on the works.. and a large a
mount cf lateral Work is opened
} contract by them. In this man b
er, settlers may earn part of what w
leir shares cost. IL
The company gets nothing but HI
ie payments for the shares. NJ
1t shoulders the cost of putting in ly
e works. and It's profits are pre- AZ
pted by the difference between the L;
st and amount eventually receiy Ike
for shares. in
The state stands between the re;
ltler and the coz 1pany, obliging sel
{ latter to carry cut its contract
Ilv. The works must be iini sh-
completely. and the water put
on tue land. Thus the settler is hle
o'ested against the danger of cla
. failure OF the works, for the ten
te viii require the company to arc
everything in perfect condition. IA
len the shares shall have Ha
n sold, the district shall have a 0o'
feet irrigation system, capable IRA
ratering all the land under the
1ls and laterals." " r.
