IRRIGATION in STATE OF IDAHO
Big Irrigation Project in Idaho that will
Be Carried Out Under the State
Laws

national park because of the wonder
full scenery, BY deal with the state
officials, who are taking advantage of
the Carey act of 1894, making a do
nation of 100000 acres of arid lands
to each state that will construct can
ais and have the lands reclaimed, the
great park will become garden Of
small farms and vineyards
The enterprise includes the con-
struction of two irrigation canals and
laterals that will have combined
length Of over 1000 miles. The main
canal will be sixty nine miles long
and eighty feet wide at the bottom.
1t will carry a large river from the
pose a dam eighty feet in height will
be constructed across the Snake Sut-
ficient water has been appropriated
from the natural flow Of the big riv-
er to supply the canal and leave an
abundance for use by those owning
riparian rights farther down the
stream
Under the provisions of the Carey
act only 100 acres of this land can
be held by one person. but this will
be cut up into smaller holdings, and
many of the farms will be of the
twenty acre Utah class. The country
is particularly adapted to fruit raising
and general mixed farming Alfalfa
is the chief forage plant and grows
to perfection. The country is also a
choice spot for growing prunes peach
es and similar fruits.
The construction Of these canals
and laterals will probably require a
period of five years hard work. Wher
completed the system will be the most
perfect in existence in the irrigated
world. 1t is planned later to have
electric car lines reaching from ever!

The second badge will be the same

stead of the catfish will be presented
a log sled. which was used to the ex-
clusion of all other forms Of trans
portation by the settlers who came
to the valley from 1872 to 1876
The old and famous Red River cart
will be the emblem displayed on the
badges which will be worn by those
who came to the valley in the years
1878 and 1879. The reason for the
choice of this design for this period
is that during these years the use
of carts reached its height.
The last badge will represent a
stage coach and six horses. This

ing been marked by the advent of

down to facts. Seven white settlers
have entered land under the law Of
the nation and the case Is on trial
now upon which you and Mr.. Beede
are expressing opinions. Two, possibly
three, Indian girls Of school age be-
long and are now at Dunseith where
Rising Suns family and band are; Of
these two or three girls not all are
children Of parents unable to keep
them from starving. There is no
question that some of the Indians are
in pitiable condition where char
ICY is needed, but that is not the
question l brought up.
Dunseith's people are, believe, as
moral as Bismarck's people, perhaps
more SO. If Bishop Mann was to be
believed as to last winter. Rising
Suns land is not settled upon by a
white but by breed Indian, as q
line to Devils Lake will inform you.
The government has tried to provide
for these Indians for twenty years. as

TEXAS STAR IN ITS AscENDANcV
The Five Pointed state Building ID
One Of the Agricultural Features Of
the Worlds Fair.

One Of the Agricultural Features Of
tho Worlds Fair.
People are beginning to talk about
the Texas five pointed star state
building which cannot fail to attract
much attention at the Universal Ex-
position. More than at any Exposi-
ton it has been the endeavor Of the
states to erect at St. Louis a type Of
architecture peculiar to their several
commonwealths. The architecture
perspective drawing of the Lone Star
state building grows with inspection
and its daring departure from conven-
tional lines Is not found amiss in an
exposition of daring innovations in the
designs Of great exhibition palaces.
happy inspiration of the man who
designed the Texas pavilion was his
use in that structure of what many
critics pronounce. the finest effect in
any exhibit palace in st. Louis-the
imposing swinging colonnade on the
south facade Of the Palace Of Varied
Industries. This effect appears on the
Texas building at the ends of the
star point, giving an ideally roundish
finish in the form of porches and sec
ond story porticos behind the curv-
ing line Of columns Iowa and sever
al other states were quick to use this
happy effect but nowhere on the Ex-
position grounds, except in the mas
sive original on Varied Industries
does the swinging colonnade appear
in such a striking manner as 1t does
on the star points on the Texas man
sion.
The general five point shape Of the
building is finely finished by the swell
ing dome that ties the center Of the
star and dominates its center with
lofty massiveness. No dome on the
Exposition grounds, save that OF the
Festival Hail. adds so much to the
dignity of its building. as the one
rising over the five points of Texas.
The sharp indentations made in the
lines of the structure, by the spaces
between the star points leads the eye
directly to the dome in the center and
consequently accentuates that feature.

When Santa Claus Comes.

Come here you glad youngsters, and sit n my knee
And we'll tell of the toys and the drums
The candles that glow the great Christmas tree
On the night when old Santa Claus comesl
The CLEAN and the glow
OF the the snow,
The gadness that springs
In each heart here below,
What no Toys and drumsl
Awayl Schools sums,
For this 10 the night when old Santa Claus comesi
What's that! Did hear q step creak on the walk!
Hush chldrenl think he is herei
Now. Sh | 4! II you look once, or whisper or talk
You'll rghten old Santa feari
The size of the pack
That he has his back!
He'll never get down
That old chimney blacki
Oh, joy See the drumsl
See the great sugar plums!
For this is the night when old Santa Claus comesi
N.Y. My! What great whiskers he has on his cheeks,
To fghten Jack Frost. I've heard
He laughs to himself bu. he speaks.
I've read that he can't speak q word!
But such handsome toys
For good girls and boysl
wonder how many Santa employs
To make all those drumsi
Oh the night air just huns
With the swish Of the sleigh Claus comes
But aasl have heard there poor girls boys
Who live where the chimneys are small,
And though Santa Claus has many nice toys,
He cannot leave any at ALL
So he's written o
'Tis duty to
A Santa for lonely
Don't you
So we'll take sugar plums
And some and drums
And make poor lad glad when Claus comes!

modern conveniences are to be added
to the comforts of making homes un-
der the canals. Some settlers are
now locating their lands. waiting the
coming of the water ditch. The COM
pany announces that the work will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. until
every acre of the large tract has been
placed under the canal.
The main channel now under con-
struction is eighty feet on the bottom
and is to carry depth of ten feet of
water The slopes Of the banks are
to to 13 feet high above the center
of the canal The canal on an aver
age, banks and all, takes up width
of almost 200 feet. The first four
miles have considerable solid rock,
but from there on it is excavated in
a lava ash soil, very fine and mellow.
The fill is "a feet high, and there is
to be no flume on the entire length.
About twenty five miles Of the can

earth is being constructed across a
large draw called Dry Creek. to avoid
a long detour of three miles. The
dam is forty-eight feet high in the
lowest place in the draw, and one
mile long. To make the dam firm and
have it settle, water has been piped
there, and as the earth is put in, it is
sprinkled and rolled.
AS the canal is through a desert,
the construction camps exceed thir-
ty in number. On the whole there
are about 400 teams and 500 men en-
gagged on the canal and the dam.
These camps, although most Of them
are near water, it is yet so far down
to the river, down in the impossible
canyon, 500 feet deep, that in order
to get water, a steam or gasoline
hoist raises it in a barrel suspended
IN a cable 600 feet long, on an incline
into the canyon In this way water
is hoisted to the rim and then hauled
