WATER IN A NATURAL BOWL.
The Novel and Effective Method of IT,
 rieatiou Used in Idaho.

rigation Used in Idaho.
 St. Anthony Idaho, is a rainless com munity, living and raising crops on the surface of an invisible artificial lake which is never allowed to rise above the surface of the fields The valley is about twenty-five miles long and five to seven miles in width. The lava rock which underlies the soil forms per- fectly watertight bowl with an average depth of about sixty feet. Until ten years ago the valley was a desert and the bowl was empty of water. Now a canal has been cut from the Snake riv- CT, a little distance above St. Anthony, and there is water within the reach of the roots of crops which spread out for miles above and below the town.
 This invisible lake proposition is a new one, even to experienced irrigation ists. It is a pleasant discovery for those who stumbled upon it, for it means irrigation without any of the trouble or hard work. Ordinarily 1t is necessary to lead the water in a large feed canal, and then to take 1t in a. smaller canal to the field to be watered, and then to run it into lateral ditches and to stand and open trenches and furrows, and thus distribute the water on the surface orf the land. And this process must be repeated whenever the land becomes dry. But up in this kink of the Snake River Valley all that the farmers have to do is to open the big ditch and let the water flow promiscu- oJYf ,rfo of the water rises in the bowl, and when the fields are sufficiently filled with moisture the gates are shut in the ditch and the flow is stopped. The sail is wonderfully fertile, and the potatoes grown there rival those of Greeley, Col.
 St. Anthony has sixteen hundred in habitants. Ten years ago it had one. He discovered and fathered> the town and now bears the honorable title of "Old Dad Moon." MT. Moon came here from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 1886. For several years his house was the only habitation within range of ten miles. People said Dad was crazy to come out into the desert and to think people were going to follow him; but Dad said it was the other people who were stupid not to see the great possibilities for ir- rigated farms. Dad took advantage of all his rights under the land laws and became the owner Of eleven hundred acres of the best land. Now that land is worth from four hundred dollars an acre up. The father of the town wears black broadcloth, chews the best finecut tobacco, and takes drink whenever he feels like it. Dad is young and hearty at seventy-two, and good for many years more of honorable enjoyment.
 It is rather unusual for man to be- come western pioneer at the age of fifty-five, and the example of St. An thony's founder may be inspiring to some old men of thirty-five, who, work ing on salaries in eastern cities, thing they are too old and too hampered to get out of the rut. With old Dad it was apparently, an inspiration. He had been farming and raising cattle in a small way for years in the east, but one morning he came in from feeding the critters and his feet were covered with

"CHEcKERs."
Finely Presented at the Hyperion Last
 Evening.

Checkers proved to be one of the best attractions of it's kind which has ever been presented at the Hyperion, and the large audiences present at the matinee and evening performances yes terday did not fail to give evidence of their appreciation and satisfaction. The play is one of the brightest, smoothest and wholesome American comedies which we have seen in New Haven in many days, and the entire performance, presented by the very capable company as that of yesterday and last evening, is deserving of all the encomiums which it will certainly receive. It was accord- ed such a reception last evening that Thomas w. Ross, the splendid young comedian, who assumed the title role, was brought before the curtain after each act.
 The story is that, successful one by Kirke La Shelle, dramatized by Henry Blossom, IT,, and depicts the life of a hustling young American, full of fire and ambition, who, after having lost his all in following the race track, finds 8 girl of his heart and determines to com mence anew in the hopes of winning her for his wife. He is opposed by a set and stubborn father, who uses his every endeavor to defeat the purpose, but all to no avail.
 The determination is made and the girl is to be won, regardless of the fathers protests, if honesty and perse- verence count for anything. The race track again attracts his attention, and 41.1 ed by a straight tip of a ''sure thing" he places gold keepsake, the present of the girl, on the horse. It wins and he wins, fortune and a wife, and by his clever exhibition of coolness and tact in a crisis he soothes the irate father and gains his parental blessing.
 This affords some very exciting and dramatic scenes, which stir the audi ence to the utmost, and they, especially at the race track scene, almost believe themselves witnessing an exciting pre- Jude to genuine race around the stands of the 'bookies."
 The company is certainly good, and MT. Ross is especially deserving of recommendation. The other exception ally good characters are Dave Braham, jr., as Push Miller, 8 race track tout; Thomas M. Blossom, as Adoniram Bar low, the father; Charles Willard, as Uncle Jerry Halter; Miss May Vokes, as Cynthy, Barlow's maid servant, and Miss Katherine Mulkins, as Pert Bar low, the daughter of Adoniram.
 There will be matinee and evening performance of Checkers" at the Hy- perion to-day.

The printing steal was properly char
acterized in the Senate yesterday
though that body, by agreeing to a
House expenditure of $4,000, let it go
by. The steal is an. offspring of the
House, where most scandals originate
and 1t bears all the ear-marks of a per-
centage game. As no honest excuse
can be made for paying S2.10 page for
printing which can be got for $1.Ss per
page, no excuse is attempted. The
House simply falls back upon its al
legged right to do as it pleases and lets
the public think what it may.

The Cleveland boom is much in evil
dence. especially in the South. 1t rests
on the proposition that the BUSINESS in
terests Of the country. dismayed by
President Rooseveits attack on trusts,
would range themselves about Cleve-
land and. by keeping the Democratic
campaign treasury full, elect him for 4
third term. The trusts are strong for
Cleveland despite the fact that his last
annual message marked out a line CT
attack upon them which Roosevelt has,
in some degree. been following since.
Cleveland himself is quoted by CORE
spondents as being smiling but reticent
on the subject of a denomination
which, if he gets it, will be his fourth.
Doubtless he feels the impulse to come
out from the audience and once more
take the center of the stage, no man in
possession of his faculties and health
being able to quite reconcile himself to
obscurity and neglect.
