IRRIGATION IN THE WEST.
Address Before National Geographic
Society bv Mr.. F. n. Newell.

The National Geographic Society held an
enthusiastic meeting last night at the COS
mos Club, on the occasion of the first sclen-
tific meeting this season. The address or
the evening was by Mr.. F. H. Newell on
the progress that has been made on the
great irrigation works in the west. Re-
marks were also made by Representative
Mondell of wyoming, eX-Surgeon General
Sternberg, Director C. D. Walcott and Vice
President w. J. MCGEE and others. Mr..
Newell is chief engineer of the reclamation
service, which, under the direction of the
director Of the United States geological sur
vey, Mr.. Walcott. and the Secretary of the
Interior has charge of the expenditure of
the millions of dollars that have been APP
propriated by Congress for the irrigation of
the west. Actual work has been commenced
on several Of the large reservoirs that are
to be built. AS an instance of the great
Increase in values result of the water
ing of the west, Mr.. Newell mentioned the
fact that Nevada, which now has 40ee0
people, will probably have in a few years
ten times that number. The irrigation bill
which was signed by the President June
II, 1862, Is proving to have been very broad
ly and wisely framed, and has answered all
the technical or legal difficulties that have
thus far arisen. Mr.. Newell exhibited some
wonderful slides showing scenes where the
irrigation works are being located. One
of these works, on the Colorado river. will
in magnitude and Importance surpass the
vast irrigation works that have been re-
Gently opened on the Nile at Assuan and
Assault.
Mr.. Mondell briefly emphasized the great
Importance to Wyoming and the neighbOr-
Ing states of the irrigation works.
Mr.. Walcott paid a tribute to Mr.. New
ellis engineering ability, and remarked that
fifteen years ago when Major ]. w. Powell
asked him for the name of the most COM
petent engineer to study photographic work
In the west he recommended young man
named Newell. Mr.. Newell was sent for
by Major Powell. who was then director,
and put in charge of studying the water
supply of the west. He has remained at
the head of this very important division
ever since, he said. and is undoubtedly the
foremost authority on the irrigation SUBJ

stated that he wished to remind the au-
dience OF the very energetic and enthusiast
tic support which the chief magistrate of
the nation had always given to the irriga-
ton Of the west.

A QUEER TALE.
i Defaulter Gives Remarkable Elk
PLANTATION OF His Crime.


The Mapleton State Bank at Man
kato, Miun., has been closed pending
an investigation If the books. The
assistant cashier: Alfred A. Buck, has
disappeared. Mr.. Buck went to Wal.
ker week ago Saturday on business,
and left there, ostensibly for Duluth,
on Tuesday, and since then nothing
has been heard from him. He is the
only son of Judge Daniel Buck If this
CITY, a former justice of the Supreme
Court, who is president, and owner o
half the stock Of the bank. A letter
from the missing official was found,
saying that the shortage Of the writ
er was SIS, 100, with the bank, and be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 with his
father who had placed his personal
funds in his possession TO loan. The
srrangest feature of the occurrence is
the excuse given by young Buck for
taking the money. He disclaims
speculation or fast living. He is 81
years Of age. He informed his wife
that twelve years ago he was made
the victim Of blacEmail by a Chicago
family, paid the money demanded,
though not legally or morally bound
to do so, and that this family has ever
since from time to time held him up.
He has paid every demand, fearing
the result Of exposure on the health Of
his parents if be refused, and the to-
tai amount paid over, he says, is S30,-
600. He has finally obtained receipt
in full.

The Subsidy steal.

Tie Washington correspondent OF

editorially upon this statement, the
Tribune says: This is to be expect

on the hunt for a subsidy never aban-
dons it," Mr.. Hanna set out on the
hunt for a subsid.? and yet he has de-
clined to enter nto a JolLt DEBATE

The Outlook in Cotton.

W. P. Brown, the new cotton king,
on his return to New Or
leans that the bull cam paign in which
his syndicate actually handled 3OO, 900
bales uf cotton has been complete
success. He predicts that the success
of the corner inaugurated by him will
permanently raise the price of cotton.
On the other hand it is reported that
the New England mill men have en-
tered into an agreement to refrain
from purchasing cotton except IN
small lots from time to time, hoping
in this, way to diminish the demand
in the autumn and winter to such an
extent as to hold down the price OF
cotton. Whether they can succeed IN
their aims doubtful. The State.

A Fine Bit af Diplomacy.

At Vincennes, Ind, recently a d.
vorce was granted to woma.' and IN
the order she was prohibited Ss-cln
marrying within two years. LIE
newspaper dispatches say that the 7fo-
man arose and dramatically declared
that the judge could make it ten
years so far as she vas concerned.
She said she was dore with men as she
had had enough experience; but before
the astonished Judge and lawyers had
time to recover, the woman ADDED
that she had reference only to men
outside of the court room. That was
a tine bit of diplomacy, and mlgnt
suggest an opening for such talents

themselves, aud not one of them can
vote under the new constitution OF

registered under the class for whites,
they refused to be classed with the
negroes, and as consequence refused
to oe registered at all. Their pride

however, a deed to the property held
by Mr.. Berry was presented as evil
dence. There were several witnesses

Don't Jump Up.

Don't Jump up the first thing your
eyes are open. Remember that while
YOU sleep the vital organs are at rest.
The vitality is lowered and the cireu-
lation not so strong. a sudden spring
out of bed is a shock to these organs,
especially to the heart, as it starts to
pumping the blood suddenly. Take
your time in getting up. YaWn
and stretch. Wake up slowly. Give
the vital organs a chance to resume
their work gradually. Notice how a
baby wakes up. 1t stretches its arms
and legs, rubs its eyes and yawns and
wakes up Slowly. Watch a kitten
wake up. First it stretches out one
leg, then another, rubs its face, Tolls
over and stretches the whole body.
The birds do not wake up and fly as
soon as their eyes are open; they shake
out their wings and stretch their legs,
waking up slowly. This is the natu-
raj way to wake up. Don't Jump up
suddenly, don't be in such hurry ou6

HUNDREDS SEARCHED.
For Missing Millionaire, But no Trace
Is Yet Found.

The disappearance from the Wise
County, (Va.), mountains of E. L.
Wentz, the young millionaire, is still
great mystery, Notwithstanding the
earnest work Of a thousand men form
ing a searching party. The party is
now divided into 10 squads Of hun
dred each. and the search is being ex
tended along Black Mountain. The
missing mans father had not been
notified of the disappearance Of his son
officially until Wednesday. The aged
man gave out statement in Philadel-
phia that he was dumbfounded, and
could not understand the theory Of
murder, as his son had no enemies.
The father is on the way to Big Stone
Gap, Va, having left Philadelphia
Wednesday night. 1t is given out here
that while young Wentz was an ad-
mirable young man, still be had in
cured the enmity Of certain noun
ta,neers. When Wentz left Big Stone
Gap it is stated be was to have joined
the sheriff that day to serve warrants
on certain trespassers, who had felled
chestnut trees on the land Of the
Virginia Coal and Iron Company.
Chestnut trees had been freshly cut
at every point where the young mill
ionaire would have gone. The theory
that Wentz was murdered by outlaw
and his body hid away is most plausi.
BILE. Certain of the mountaineers who
gave up homes at a nominal figure
when mountain lands were bought up
by capitalists fifteen years ago; have
ever since cherished the feeling that
they had been cheated out Of their
property. An idea Of how cheaply
those lands sold to capitalize is gained
in the statement that coal properties
IN Southwest Virginia, owned blythe
Wentz family, were bought for SlO0,-
900. The same properties are now es-
timated to be worth s2.o00.000.
