SLIPPERY TIME IN GOTHAM.
New Workers Struggle Over Pave

New Workers Struggle over Pave
ments-Transportation Suspended.
New York, Feb. 16.-New Workers
who have been struggling over icy
pavements and wading through slush
at intervals the past two days, this
morning found nearly all methods of
transportation handicapped by sIeet-
storm which began about daylight.
The elevated railroads experienced
the most trouble. Unusually heavy
flashes of flame from the electric cars
and rails caused q fire on the draw
bridge over the Harlan river at One
Hundred and Twenty-ninth street on
the Third avenue line. The fire caught
in the wooden ties or sleepers and was
caused, 1t Is said, by the sparks ignit
ing some oil, which had been spread
on the third rail to prevent the forma-
tiOn Of ice II was quickly extinguish-
ed with but little damage.

ASSEMBLING OF The
BRITISH PARLIAMENT
Session Promises TO Be I'M
portant One.
NEW RULES OF PROCEDURE

Matter viii Likely Be Rapidly Dis
posed of-Guards Scandal, Which Is
Exciting Public interest, Will Be
Discussed at Early Date.
New York, Feb. 16.-The British par
lament will assemble today. The
session promises to be a most impor-
tant one, according to the London cor
respondent of The Tribune.
The first business after the debate
on the address in reply to the kings
speech will be the completion of the
new rules Of procedure, and the gen
eral belief is that the matter will be
disposed of rapidly. The supple
mentary estimates must be dealt with
in the first few weeks in order that
the budget may be introduced at the
beginning of April.
1t is believed that the way will be
cleared for the introduction of the
Irish land bill Immediately after the
budget, but the London educational
bill will not be laid before the house
until after the Easter holidays.
The guards scandal, which is excit-
ing public interest to an unusual de
gree just now, is almost certain to be
discussed at an early date. Bromley
Davenport, member for Macclessfield,
has announced his intention to ask
for the rehabilitation or Colonel Kin
loch as much injured officer who
knew nothing of the abuses occurring
in his regiment. The government
will probably appeal to the house to
leave the affair absolutely in the
hands of Lord Roberts.

The following by a level-headed
exchange is opportune Just now:--
"Of course you are interested in
the progress your children are max
ing in school. That goes without
saying. But do you take personal
interest in their work? Do you
occasionally go over the lessons
with them and try to comprehend
the difficulties they are encounter
inf? Do you examine-thei exam
ination papers to see if they are
accurately marked? Don't take
anything for granted in school work.
There is carelessness and ine&cien-
cy in school as we'll as out and it is
your business to find them out if
you can, and reward the faithful.
This does not mean that you are to
criticise continually or ignorantly.
You ought to cooperate with the
teacher, encourage by kind word
if you can, or help by a wise reproof
if necessary. Remember that it is
your child that is being educated,
and that you cannot evade the re-
sponsibility in this matter

1.-THE GOVT ON IRRIGATION.
WHAT THE EXPERTS HAVE TO SAY

In response to citizens of North
Oak ota, the U. S. Geological Sur
vey has been conducting prelimin-
ary investigation of certain sections
of that state with a view of ascer-
tanning the advisability of con-
structing irrigation works. An es-
pecially important piece of recon-
Nuisance work has just been COM
pleted on both sides of the Yellow
stone River from Glendive, Mon
tana, to its confluence in North
Dakota with the Missouri.
This valley, lying in Montana
and North Dakota. is described as
one of the prettiest in the West,
with a soil of unsurpassed fertility.
Just back of the valley on each
side of the river are large areas of
grazing lands. During the years
Of ample rainfall, large crops are
grown in the valley without irriga-
ton, proving the productiveness of
the soil. Ordinary seasons are too
dry for successful farming without
irrigation. The survey was started
opposite Terry with view of TAX
ing out a canal at that point and
continuing it to the Missouri River.
This survey proved that nearly as
much land could be covered and
at much less cost, by taking out a
canal near Glendive. The prelimin-
ary survey is almost completed, and
when finished, the practicability Of
of the project will be determined.
The rapid increase of settlers in
the western or arid portion of North
Dakota in the last three years has
not been unnoticed by the Survey,
whose efforts are being directed to
secure for them an ample supply OF
water against the occurrence OF
years Of insufficient rainfall. Ow,
ling to the unusual problems pre-.
sented, the work must necessarily
oe slow, as it will require very care.
full consideration Of methods and
cost. The Missouri River is the
principal source of water supply
for the region in which irrigation
will be required; owing to the slight
fall in the state, gravity canals are
practically impossible unless they
head in Montana. Such prelimin-
ary work as has been done shows
that such diversion is possible, but
expensive, and only detailed sur
veys can settle the question Of prac-
ticability. ~
An investigation is being made
of the possible utilization of the
Missouri by pumping plants in Sec
tions where Ignite abounds, and a
report thereon will shortly be pub
lished.
