DULUTH NEWS.

At the Lyceum last Sunday evening
Gen. G. d. Joubert and Capt. w. S.
O'Donnell told the people of Duluth
all about the cause duration and cf-
feet of the Bocr war rccounting in Il
very comprehensive and interesting
way the principal battles. the suffer-
ing of the Boer people and the loss to
the English. "Thc real cause of the
war;" said Captain O'Donncll, "was
Ingland's lust for the gold and dia-
mond mines which were discovered in
South Africa. The Beers, as nearly
everyone knows, are a peace loving,
thrifty people, who confined all Of
their efforts to the development of
their country. in every manner pos
sible." He told of the brute-likc
cruelty Which he claimed was shown
by the English. especially expressed
towards the old men and the women,
$4,000 of whom died during the war
for the hardsllipS hcapcd upon them.
Captain O'Donncll is a native of Ire
land and like most of his countrymcn
is endowed with rare talent of wit and
his speech was pcrmcAtcd with a good
natrred humOr "It took England
three years and cost her 100000 men
and $3OO,OOOOOO to subduc the rcpub-
lie and if we ever recover from 0ul
impoverished condition of the present
time, England will have to subduc us
again. In our strength we never could
bear up under the insults that are
daily thrown into the faces of our
people," Gen. Joulcrt told of the
landing OF the first Dutch in 1862, Of
the work of Great Britain in 1895
and of the rc-estabishmcnt of Il Bocr
government in 1902 "With the dis
cOvery of the diamond mines in 1861"
said Gen. JOubcrt, 'thc foundation of
the late war with England was laid"
Throughout the lectures. many stories
of the engagements of the ROcr and
English soldiers were rclatcd. At the
conclusion of the lectures, StcrropticOn
views picturng the principal BATTLES
were shown.

Make the Desert Bloom.

The first National Irrigation Con-
gress was held at Salt Lake City in
1891, the home of the first example of
American irrigation by the Anglo
Saxon race-Mormon irrigation forty
Sour years before. In 1891 about three
and one-half million acres were under
Irrigation in the arid regions all
through private enterprise and coop
erative effort. To-day there are nearly
eight million acres irrigated, and the
West stands at the threshold of a
mighty development through govern
ment irrigation. There are now fiji
teen million dollars in the United
States treasury awaiting expenditure
for the construction of great dams and
canals in the Western states and ter
ritOries.
The coming irrigation congress will
be the eleventh convention of that
body and will meet in Ogden, Utah,
September Is next.
The intermediate congresses have
been held at various points through
out the arid region. The second con-
gress was held at Los Angeles and
was attended by representatives from
Great Britain, Canada, Australia, In
dia, Russia, France, Mexico and Peru.
The third irrigation congress met at
Denver, the fourth at Albuquerque, N
NJ, and the fifth at Phoenix, Arizona
1t is something of coincidence that
the Phoenix congress should have been

. Dirty Milk Cans.


The city milk trade is one that per.
m1ts the greatest amount of untidi-
ness Simply for the reason that the
consumers know nothing of the con-
litons surrounding the milk traffic.
1t IS often asserted that, could the
consumers know in what kind of cans
their milk is handled, many of them
: would quit the use of that article OF
food altogether. The cans that 70
back to the farmers are some of them
80 very dirty that it is impossible
to get the stencil out of them even
by scrubbing and steaming, and many
shippers OF milk have no steaming ap-
pliances. The cans, instead of being
washed out with cold water after use,
are left with some milk in them and
this sours and putrefes for a day be-
fore being removed. It must be re-
membered that milk is blood held in
suspension and that it putrefes as
does blood and flesh. Experts have
testified that after such cans have
been subjected to all kinds of cleans.
ing processes, including steam1ng in
a steam chest. the smell still chung
to them, and must have remained
with them after they were again filed
with milk. After this process has
gone on for several months in sum-
mer, what must be the condition of
such cans so used and so abused?

the first to declare for the policy OF
national irrigation" and that that
city is likely to be the scene of the
first great government dam-the out
come OF the policy and resolutions,
riSidly adhered to by every succeed
ing irrigation congress, in spite Of bit
ter fights for cession of the arid lands
to the several states.
The sixth congress was held at Lin
coin, Neb.; the seventh at Cheyenne,
N7yo.; the eighth at Missoula, Mont;
the ninth. the first big congress, at
Chicago, H., and the tenth at Colorado
Springs, Colo
The Chicago congress had the effect
Of bringing the irrigation discussion
into the East and showing it's national
aspect-that any great improvement
in any western section would have a
reflex benefit in the eastern part OF
the country and that the agricultural
development in the West would mean
an increased market for the products
of eastern manufacturers.
Then came a surprisingly strong
fight by the irrigation forces in the
short session of the seth Congress,
followed by President Roosevelt's &C.
tive championship of the cause and
the passage of the irrigation law in
the following long session, June II,
1902. The early part of August, 1903,
saw the contract let for the first gov
eminent irrigation works under this
law.

Chicago Butter Supply.

The receipts of butter at Chicago
this summer have been greater than
during any previous summer for sew
eral years at least. From the first of
May to the middle of August there
were received over 652,O 900 tubs, which
is about $4,000 tubs in excess of what
was received during the same period
last year. During the summer of 1898
592,0OO tubs were received, which
was considered phenomenal at that
time. In spite Of this large supply
this year the prices have held up, due
largely to the rapid growth in popu-
lation Of the city and the continued
activity in business. 1t is reported
that the home trade is larger than
ever before and seems inclined to take
all the f1rst-class goods that come in.
Studying the market one notices that
the only kinds Of butter that do not
sell well are the poorer grades, though
they are disposed of at a low price
Thus ladies" are quoted as ''slow'' in
sale. ladies' are produced by work
ing over country butter till it is uni.
form in salt and coloring. 1t is poor

profit nor credit to the farmers

James Rivington was the boldest

]}ivington. It was due to him that
hundreds of patriots died of starva-

jails and cellars of the North Dutch
church in Nassau street, and in other
and worse prisons on the Hudson

Peter Warren was brother-in-law
of Rivington and fully as strong in his
hatred and denunciation of patriots.
He was honored by having Warren
street named after him.
Robinson and Clarkson streets were
named after two noted Tories. Rob.

patriots, but he was honored and his
name preserved by calling Ludlow

The first member of the board of

out of the British lion might do so
by changing the names Of some of
New York's streets. The board of
