Northern Pacific. The western Sec
ton of North Dakota belongs to the
arid or semi arid region. as does a
portion of South Dakota. In North
Dakota the water supply through the
wells and other reservoirs can be
made to irrigate 1000, 900 acres: in
Montana 10, 1000 900: in Idaho 3,0OO.0O
and in Washington 3.000.0 900. But as
Mr.. Hill points out. irrigation al be
used with great profit even in those
parts of North Dakota which are or
dinarily blessed with a natural rail
fall usually sufficient in The aggre-
gate, but failing at certain intervals.
For the productiveness of the soil can
be greatly increased by having it wat
cred at the right time and regular
intervals. This is one reasO of the
greater productiveness of irrigated
land, but the main reason is that it
is stored with the dormant elements
of fertility which have accumulated for
ages and only need water to awaken
them to the utmost e%xuberance of
vegetable life. So that If irrigation
should ado 5000, 900 acres to the do
main of agriculture in the four states
mentioned by Mr.. Hill it would be
probably equivalent to 1000, 900
acres OF the average soils of Mime
sofa and Iowa. Irrigation would thus
add an agricultural empire to the al
ready rich of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
roads.

A GOOD PLAN.
And One That Might Be Put Into
Practice In Hattiesburg With
Good Results.

Believing tt at yicksburg's resi-
dent population of rsfters is numer-
Gus enough for presen propose Chief
of Police Price has started crusade
against the horde Of suspicious char
acters now infesting the city and a
dozen or more of these fellows with
no visible means of support have been
ordered out of town during the past
two days. The mode of procedure in
getting rid of these gentry is exceed
ingly simple. When one is brought
before the dourt conversation along
these lines generally follows, with
Chief Price on the role of interlocutor !:

Judging from the number of we'll

their wits, that have struck town dur

fame is a wide-open, free and-easy,

but their wits, unfortunately, are di-
rected into illegitimate channels.
There is law on the ordinance books
of the city providing for the arrest
of persons without visible means of
support, and should this be strictly
enforced the result would be the rid
dance of a very harmful and undesir-
able class of citizenship. We have
faith in the efficiency and wisdom OF
our police power, and "a word to the

interesting to HOmeIy Woman.

An exchange gives the following
bit of consolation for the homely
woman as coming from one of them:

good things in life," said p ain wo-
man yesterday.
"She misses one thing certainly
the comfort of ugliness.

about life before she finds this out.
''And before that time she is GER
tain to have lain awake nights crying
because the skin-deep gift of the gods
mas been denied her.
But by and by she begins to see
that her plain features, if they
haven't brought her JOY, have spared
her pain.
In the first place, she hasn't ex-
pected much of the world, and so she
has not been disappointed. Then she
has had leisure from her mirror and
her admirers. and next cf all, from
herself, to think some thoughts worth
thinking and to do little something
of solid worth.
1.-The worst slave ever knew was
remarkably pretty girl who was al
ways in terror lest she was not at her
beauty's best, and whose life was a
round of ssvere seif-exactions that she
might keep her beauty unimpaired.
1.-THE poor child actually found
time for nothing else in life than the
Office of being her own groom.
''Best of all, the plain woman is
reasonably sure to escape the obser-
vabion and comment that are sure to
follow a pretty girl, and which is mol

company at the Auditorium on Tues
day, October 90
Miss Trescott is remarkably hand
some woman. the posses 'or of a beau
tifut voice, which she handles with
consummate skill. Her queenly bear
ing makes her the center of attraction
during the scenes which afford a
splendid opportunity TO display her
talents. Miss Trescott has conscien-
tiousness and ardent enthusiasm nd
she is never so happy as when she
is doing benevolent action. On ae-
count of exceptional gifts and ad-
mirable qualities as a woman, the
young actress is indeed a general
favorite, loved and admired wherever
she has appeared. AS Satanic"
she has role for which she is emf

leaderI of society she is perfectly fit

A TREAT FOR TONIGHT.
Miniature Minstrel Company's Pre-
formance Will be the Hit of
the Season.

The performance of the little min
strel company at the Auditorium to-
night and tomorrow afternoon prom
ises to surpass anything in its line
that may be seen here this season.
A large number of people attended
the rehearsal last night, and each
was liberal in PRAISE of the merit of
the show. The little children are all
perfect in their respective parts, and
the choruses will take the house by
storm. The costumes are the most
elaborate and expensive that could be
had. The music which is furnished
by Miss Allie Heidelberg will be in
itself a treat worthy of the price of
admission, as she is perhaps the most
accomplished musician in the city.
A large number of tickets have al
ready been sold, and therefore, a
large audience il assured. The pro-
ceeds of the entertainment will 60 to-

Jackson, Oct. 16.-It has become
evident that some Of the county nom-
inees of the recent democratic prima-
ries are not to be allowed to secure
their offices without opposition and
possible defeat may be the lot of some
of them. During the past week or
two Attorney Genreal Williams has
been in receipt OF letters of inquiry
from person wanting to know how
independent candidates may have
their names placed on the regular
ticket. In all such cases the reply
has been that the only method is for
the would-be candidate to get up Pc
titions in each county in the state of
fifty names and file the petitions with
the election commissioners of the
counties. If the office to be run for
is county office the petition requlr-
ed will, of course, be only in that
county of which the applicant is a
citizen and hopes to serve in an offi-
cial capacity. There are half doz-
Ell or more counties in which inde-
pendent candidates will run against
the regular nominees. In both Adams
and Washington counties there will
be independent candidates for sheriff.
and in a number of other counties the
regular nominees for beat offices will
be opposed by independents.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-22

The above done per vote of town meeting ana at the meeting at which this voted it was also decided to build school on West Side hill where the Russell school now stands, the lot and building to cost not more than $500. There proviso that if the expenses exceeded that figure it to be paid by private subscription.
 At a joint meeting of both the school boards held on September 4, 1860, it voted to establish primary school in the basement of the old Episcopal church building on East Main street, then belonging to the parish of the Immaculate Conception. In 1862 the entire building was tented by the district though the school always known the Cath olic school"
 In 1863 school was opened in Gothic hall and in 1864 Dublin street school enlarged and one room was added to West Gaylord school. The lot for building in the Brooklyn district purchas- ed in 1866 for $1 200 the school accommodate 175 pupils. In 1867 the building completed.
 The building of school Elm street in 1S71-72 looked upon epoch in the towns school history. The building accommodated 600 pupils and spoken of very highly in the report of the district committee the following year.
 In 1874 the Abrigador district had grown to such proportions that school to cost not more than $12,00 voted, and at the time second school for the Brooklyn district was agreed upon, but this not carried out
 Still the Abrigador growing and three years after the school above mentioned completed, it was found necessary to either build another put up in adjoining territory. The latter was done, and q building was constructed on Dub- lin street for $6OOO accommodate 24O pupils, and another in the East Gaylord district for $5,OOO to accommodate POO pupils.
 The beginning of the present school Bishop street started in 1878 to accommodate the flow of the Adams street school
 In 1881 the Sperry and West Side hill schools erected and the following year a school of two built Locust stre>t a lot Welton street purchased, and the Washington school started.
 1883 the WeltOn street school begun and the site for the present Porter street school purchased Fire that year destroying the Elm street school. The damage light, however, but a number of children slightly burned
 Next year found it necessary to enlarge Washing ton and Ridge street schools, and meanwhile Elm street school which had been praised very highly only few years before, found unsuitable in the basement and that part of the building was dcmned for school purposes.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-22
All Schools OvercrOWded

The district committee that year reported that all the schools were crowded particularly Porter Bish- op and Elm street schools. Every place ln the school rooms was used and many children had to fetch chairs from their homes. The result was lhal
 the district committee voted to erect another three story building on Elm street adjoining the old school An injunction, however, stopped the committed and' in view of the parish of the Immaculate Conception having started build St Marys parochial school, project of a school was aDandoned
 In 1SS69S additions to the Bishop, Sperry and Locust street schools found absolutely neces- sary 1889 the present Clay street building was started on the site of the old building. This was practically the first school structure in the city, notwithstanding the praise given the Elm street building.
 The same year Bank street school enlarged and the following year new school the present decided upon, the cost to be $6OOOO including the furniture. Sperry street building was OVercrOWded that school Hillside avenue had to be hired and that building was used until II destroyed by fire about ten years ago.
 The Center School district had now, in 1893, reached great proportions, the chairman of the com mittec reporting that year that the district had ill fourteen buildings thoroughly equipped for school purposes, and all built during the preceding twenty-two years.
 Tn 1853 there talk of prohibiting the teaching of instrumental music In the schools, and 1t moved by the district committee to sell the piano. also to prohibit all studies not in the English lam guage. These motions got further than the chairman's table and there they rested until 1S6o when they revived by a motion that the educa- ton in the schools shall be "an English educaton." This vote was not enforced apparently year later it was "reSOlvcd, that studies approved by the board of education may be taught and, so for the Hrst time the higher special branches of educa- don were begun in the schools of Waterbury.

High School
ucatiOnallv

The High school is ill reality the peoples col leSe as It has been aptly called. To those who cannot attend higher institutions of learnil4g and they ill the great majority, the High school is the final fitting school for fes work. It is to be gretted that existing social and economic conditions close the door of the High school every year to many young people eager for knowledge. NotwIths tandAg the necessity which impes many to go to work after their graduation from the Grammar schools, the local high school, with all of It's courses of four years duration, enrOlls five hundred pupils yearly. Two hundred and eight boys and girls all graduates of Grammar schools, entered this fall This enroll mcnt will compare avoraby with that of any school in New England in city of the size of Waterbury. The school has kept in line with the growth of the city, both in it's enrolment and its efficiency. From small school ten years ago with half dozen in- structOrs the High school to-day enrols five hundred pupils and has nineteen instructors. Since 03 five hundred graduates have left it's walls to out into the world better equipped for Gfe's struggles and better prepared to make the most of their lives 1t may be interesting to note that in the last years over one hundred graduates Have entered the col leges professional schools while nearly a like humber have entered Normal schools Hundreds are employed in of1ces stores and business houses in this city and elsewhere and the honorable posi- tions they hold bespeak their present and future worth in the community.

It seems steps were immediately taken for the construction of High school building and that the intention of the people was to erect that Wou be object of pride to all of them. It was to take the place of what then known "the acad- emy," institution common in almost every town of those times. The chairman of the district mittee was C. B. Merriman. There considerable excitement the proposition for it under taking that seemed to appall some of the people, not withstanding that everyone desired such building. It was decided finally that not more than $1O0O0 should be expended on the building and apparently the vote of the people strictly carried out and on January 27, 1S51 Waterbury had it's first High school built the site of the present Crosby school The first structure a magnificent for the times.
