irrigation Fund IL $4,000. 900 with
OfeRon In the Lead.

Washington, Sept. 12.--The general
land Office today made public q state
ment showing the approximate amounts
contributed TO the reclamation fund BY
various Western states during the last
fiscal year. These figures, while not
exact, are within q few dollars OF the
proper amounts and much closer than
rough estimates made several weeks
ago. which were based on the propor-
tions Of past seasons. AZ previously
explained, Oregon is the largest con-
tributor, having paid In 81, ,Ss4, 730
last year, which makes It's total con-
tributions for the past three years e..
1856 500. This latter amount is $780,
600 In excess of what any other state
has 90 far contributed, North Dakota
being second, and Washington third.
Last year Washington contributed 81,
099,O60, bringing it's total fund up to
81 1894, ,069. Idaho has to its credit In
tie fund s1,l49, 1857, Of which s642,.
2l8 was added last year.
Under the policy adopted by the In.
terror department following cut the
provisions Of the irrigation law, 81 per
cent OF the contribution OF each state is
TO be expended within that state in the
next 10 years and 40 per cent goes into
the general fund, this fund, of course,
to be utilized In Arizona, Nevada and
other states and territories badly in
need Of irrigation, but which them
selves contribute little toward the great
object. The total irrigation fund, as
now computed, is tl6, 1891, 1886, or more
than u 100000 in excees Of the previ-
ous estimates CT the land Office. More
than one half Of this amount was con.
tributed last year.

verse-that is, the primal energy that
creates and moves all its phenomena-is
teaches, the dynamics Of the universe is
Mind, or God.
Dowie, like many others in pulpits, med
ical colleges, ETC., neglecting or willfully
refusing to investigate the doctrine and
practice of Christian Science from its own
standpoint, merely proves that he does not
know what he is talking about. Dogmatists
are often most arrogant when most ignor-
ant. They resemble Macaulay's tropical
Islander, who denounced the missionary. as
a falsifer when he described the phe-
attempt to ridicule the Christian Science
doctrine as to matter. they are unwittingly
assisting the falsehood of atheism with a
premise, which, if true, would be a terrible
against the existence or God as
omnipresent, omnipotent, al-loving spirit.
No one who keeps apace with the latest
teachings in what are called the natural
sciences can be of the benefcent
fact that they are fast becoming the ally
Of true Christianity by helping 10 prove
that extra-material spirit is the creative
and energizing reality of the universe.
Former dogmas Of some natural scientists
that matter is self-evolved and self-sus-
tanned. attempting to substitute evolution
In place of Gods creation, were never more
than wholly unsupported conjectures, and
they are now substantially abandoned.
The materialistic theory that matter is a
reality. using thai word in it's true philo-
sophical sense, and thereby negativing any
need for God, has never received the sup
port of the great thinkers or our race.
Wordsworth beautifully expresses the
thought of the supreme intelligence In his
lines:
ct have felt
A presence that disturbs me with JOY
OF elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
OF something far more deeply interfuseo,
Whose dwelling is the light OF setting suns
And the round ocean and the living ar
And the blue sky. and in the mind OF man.
A motion and a spirit that impels .u.
All thinking things, all objects OF all tnougn''
And rolls through all things"
Dowie's diatribe will serve one useful
| purpose, for it will leave no possible ex-
put Christian science and Dowieism into
the same category.
