Sir Archibald Hunter.

From M. A. r.
 When leading his men at Omdurman one of Hunters arms was severely wounded. He was placed Tn the hands of the surgeons after the fight and they had a consultation. Modification was feared, and he was told that they must amputate the arm to save his life. He at once declined to allow this. but the sur geons said that they must do 1t. They could not take the responsibility of leav- ing 1t as 1t was Hunter quietly replied Very well; but understand, if you take off my arm the first thing I do when am on my legs again will be to blow out brains" Knowing their man. the sur geons altered their decision. and today Hunter still has his arm, although 1t Is of but little use. Still he remains in the service where he otherwise could not have stayed. It is said that General Hunter had great difficulty in getting Sir George Whites permission to lead the sortie which had for it's object the de- structlon of the heavy Boer gun that for some time had been causing the Lady smith garrison great trouble. Hunter was bent upon his purpose and only ob- tained Whites somewhat wabbling con sent when he wrote and signed letter stating that he was going to take charge of a party in spite of General White, and, in fact. to disobey his orders The sortie, as every one knows, was thor oughly successful

overhauling of the land laws, under which such plunderng is possible.
 Unless the nation acts with reasonable promptitude, before the engineers can get around to the question of irrigation every acre of good public land will have been taken up under a trio of laws which, had they been framed for land footing, could not have been greater suc- cesses.
 The real friends of the national irri- gation act throughout the country who are expecting to see the building of a great empire in the heart of the west adding wealth and population to the na- ton and increasing her strength and in- fuenee must not rock themselves to sleep in the easy belief that this will come about under the conditions as they exist today. They must make one more de- termned stand before congress and ef- feet the repeal of these land laws; then the national irrigation law will be free to work out great and beneficial trans formation of the desert into homes.

To Transform the Deserts
BY GUY E. MITCHELL.

Three great new projects in California which the government is considering un- der the national irrigation act will, if undertaken, add in the neighborhood of A million acres of wonderfully fertile land to the reclaimed area of the Golden State. Government engineers have been engaged upon preliminary surveys for upwards of a year, and in Southern Cali fornia, few weeks ago, 100000 miner s inches of water of the Colorado river were filed upon and appropriated by the government, which means in reality the entire flow of this Nile of America. The entire surrounding land-over four million acres have also been reserved. The ultimate reclamation of land through the great system of dams and canals eventually to be constructed on this river alone will be something over a million acres, but the first step in this work will probably reclaim 50O.0o0 acres of rich delta land.
 The second project which has been in- vestigated is the storage of the waters of the Kings river, about midway be-
 
 formed by two large mountain streams heading far up in the snow-capped Sier- ras. The regular flow of the Kings river irrigates today an enormous acreage in the fertile San Joaquin valley. while the storage of it's waters by the government would increase it's irrigabe capacity by at least 100000 acres. At present it's flood waters flow wholly to waste, as does likewise almost the entire flow of the Colorado river, flowing through the extreme southern part of the state and emptying into the Gulf of California
 Clear Lake Project.
 Still another enterprise which has com mended itself to the government engin- eers is what is known as the Clear Lake project in the northern part of the state. Situated 1000 feet above sea level, Clear Lake is a beautiful sheet of water cov- ering 4O,000 acres. By stretching a low dam across its lower end and raising it's surface only six feet, 240.00O acre feet of water could be stored. sufficient to ir- rigate over 100000 acres of the highly pro- ductive land of the Sacramento valley. Here, where there Is considerable rain fall, much less water would be necessary for irrigation than in the southern part

From the Portland Oregonian.
 A gasoline engine and apparatus for operating a drag saw or crosscut saw, to be used in cutting trees into cord wood length. has been invented by the proprietor of machine works in this city, which may have the effect of re- sducing the price of wood clightly. There have been machines of this kind invent ed before, but none of them have proved a success. The new invention is mount ed. on sort of sled and works like a charm. It cuts a 39-inch log in two in less than three minutes, and cuts a Hunk of Q 7-foot log in less than an

caIifornia's Share s2,ooo,ooo.

CaIfornia's Share $2,o00,000.
 Of the S16000, 900, and over, now to the credit of the reclamation fund, Califor- nia's share is more than $2,000,000, and it is desired to begin the expenditure of this sum as soon as the best projects can be determined upon. In the mean time the secretary of the interior is au- thorized. under the act, to reserve the water rights and withdraw the land which may be irrigated as well as the reservoir and dam sites from entry un- der the desert act the communication clause of the homestead act and the timber and stone act Were 1t not for this express provision in the irrigation law, which provision, by the way, was vigorously opposed by the western land speculating interests at the time of it's pendancy, every acre in these three, or in fact any other government projects, would be filed upon under the above land laws the moment the intention of inc government to establish irrigation works under the irrigation law became apparent.
 The reclamation service officials con- stantlv find the results of these miserable laws operating against the governments nlans. only after comprehensive sur yeys. preceded usually by preliminary investigations and reconnaissance occupy ing months of time, can any storage site he pronounced practicable, warranting the government in withdrawing the land which will probably, be irrigated there under. yet any even preliminary surveys are watched eagerly by local land deal CTS and speculators, and with the first tntimation that the project may be fav- orablv considered, filings are made by the hundred, so that in every project which the government has taken up, large proportion of the land to be irri- gated has been found to be in the hands of private owners, not settlers living up- upon 1t and anxiously waiting for Uncle Sam to furnish them water or perhaps augment their insufficient supply, but snecuIators and stock interests. who have likely never seen the land but who "ac- oIIire" 1t and are simply .holding 1t for a rise"
 This is the reason that the true friends of western development are urging an

The Entertainment.

The entertainment at the

satisfactory, Prof. Carnaveaux
performing some difficult feats in
mind reading, convincing those
who were almost determined TO
not be convinced. An excellent
entertainment is planned for to-
night, consisting of impromptu
cake walks, minstrel songs, etc,
by a class of young men who
have not been aware of the fact
that they possessed talent IN this
line. Prof. CarnaveeuE han
ably demonstrated the fact that
there is such a thing as mental
telepathy.

of any number of pages, look at
the page number, then at any
word on that page, and close the
book without making a mark of
