cry. The Trimble water ordinance

attorney as to whether the lot, as part
of the city water plant, could be
legally sold without vote of the peo.
pie. He said there might be a weighty
legal question involved in the matter.
The ordinance was introduced by Aid.

derman Dewey thought the ordinance
might be laid over for the present.
Mr.. Stone thought that some in
formation about the size OF the pipe
should be known. Mr.. Kurtz said the
company expected to furnish certain
pressure as we'll as water. Mr. Glea
son asked if the lot would belong to
the city il no water was had. Mr..
Ellsworth moved that the city attor-
ney be requested to give an opinion on
the following points:
lst. Whether the council is auth
orized to convey the real estate in
question in manner indicated in pro-
posed ordinance.

to contract with private parties for
putting down a well on terms OF
speculative nature, as Indicated
by the proposed ordinance?

Minneapolis. Dec. ga Washing
ton special to The Journal by w. w.
Jermane says: 1t may be said with
full authority that North Dakota will
accomplish nothing through the irri-
CATION delegation which it purposes to
send to Washington in the near future.
That delegation is the outgrowth of
the Bismarck irrigation congress, and
it will consult, while here, with Of
ticials Of the reclamation service with
a view to ascertain what, if anything,
can be done to widen the plans of the
service so far as work in North Da.
kota is concerned.
The engineers OF the geological sur
/ vey are thoroughly familiar with con-
ditions in all the irrigation states,
and their numerous reports, covering
dozen years or more, have led to the
conclusion that there are no projects
of Importance in North Dakota and
that to undertake to expend any large
sum there would be grossly extrava-
CANT and contrary to the spirit of the
reclamation act, which regards the
country as whole, independently of
state lines. In order to be entirely
| certain OF it's ground. however, the
reclamation service proposes to con-
tinue It's Investigations in the state
by way Of supplementing those made
in previous years, and to give the
state the benefit of every doubt.
The topography Of North Dakota
renders that state an unfavorable
field for irrigation projects as COM
pared with those states which have
mountains and vel eys and deep
streams. \ wide uelt. running ntbroueh
the state from north to south. Just
east Of the Missouri river, is part Of
belt which extends from the Canadian
line to Texas IN which irriyal ion has
always been failure, owing to occa-

irrigation bitches are neglected and
permitted to deterionrate. Farmers.
during rainy seasons cannot be in

Carolina the United States court de-
clared that liquors brought into tEo
state for personal use could not be
seized by the constables. Naturally
every shipment was marked for pei.
Sonal use," and respecting the Federal
auth ority, the officers would not
seize it. A few days after the an.
nouncement of the courts ruling, q
machinery establishment in Charles
ton loaded cotton gin for the interior
and it went out on big truck Five
miles from the city the truck broke
down, and the cotton machine was
left on the road until another team
could be provided. Before it was
moved man drove by. Taking a
pasteboard box from his buggy he
tore off wide strip and wrote th!s
inscription, leaving it on the machine:
This gin is for personal use." It was
not seized.

The Land of Poppies.

Wnere, blue and silver in the sun,
The broad Pacific sweils.
And king among the forest trees,
Tho gian, redwood dWells;
And frosty winter never smites
The smiling earth with gloom,
In all their gay and glowing pride
The languid peoples bloom
The hills are ricn with ,llow ore,
And in the wales below
The luscious fruits and fragrant flowers
OF every climate grow;
And by the ruined missions walls
And from the wayside sod
And all along the garden walks
The drowsy poppes nod.
Bright, crumpled blossoms, silken pink.
Pure white and crimson deep,
And vivid scarlet, everywhere
They tell a tale of sleep,
When purple shadows long anG cool
Among the vineyards lie,
And apples rippen into gold
Beneath a turquoise sky.
While Louisiana on her shield
The sweet magnolia shows,
And Maine displays the brcwn pine cone,
New York the queenly rose,
And Delaware prefers the peach
To garland her renown.
The golden state elects to wear
A regal poppy crown.
