There is NO question that the beagle
isa very old breed. Early Roman ac-
counts of England contain references
to the beagle, even by name BookA
published from about 1880 'to91B10 de-
scribe several varieties of hodhds, in
GLIDING "the little beagle which may
be carried in q mans glove" That
the miniature hound wac extremely
popular At The, time was evident from
Queen Elisabeth keeping pack which
were also said to be small enough
to. put in . glove, says the Country
Life. in: America. -.

present-day kind, but gauntlets reach

surmiss from what we know of the
results Of later attempts to maintain
packs of beagles Of eight to ten inches
high, the result after some years,
being weak puppies that fall short OF
the. fne qualities of the little hunting
dog when they r grown up.

MANY USES FOR ALCOHOL,
iGsrnaay IL EncouraGdne Its ApDli-
( .,icAtioa for Fuel and Toy Power !.
t,r.. xnss. I Purposes. a

!. The kaiser of Germany is encourag-
ing every effort toward the use Of al
cohol for lighting, fuel and power
purposes, and under the stimulus of
prizes Offered to inventors and engine
constructors it is being largely util-
lied in various ways. Alcohol is eco
made from a number of
products in Germany, and conse-
quently the supply of it is very large.
AT a recent exhibition demonstrating
the use of alcohol there we're shown
a number of motors, farming imple-
.ments and similar things propelled
by an alcohol flame. There were
also lamps which displayed great eff
cheney. In a report recently made
to Washington, Consul General Guen-
Their writes from Frankfort that the
chief of the fire department of Han
over has recently invented an alcohol
firing apparatus, used in connection
with ali automobile fire engine,
which is said to be very satisfactory
in practice. The engine, is driven TO
the scene of the fire by an alcohol
motor, and while on the way the
steam is gotten up by the new inven-
ton noted above so that the engine
is ready for operation Immediately
on its arrival on the ground Ordi-
narily it is necessary to keep>the en-
CINE constantly fired in order that
the steam supply may be Immediate
~ available. Otherwise much time
is lost in getting up steam. I e.

i BARTLETT TOWNSHIP.
After Twenty-Five Years Citizens Of
Bartlett Stand a Chance of Securing
Titles IN I.0fa.
Titles TO Lots.

After twenty-one years without
title to their lots the people Of Bart
lett are likely to gain title through
the TOWNSHIP acts. Colonel Lounsber-
~ reported the case I've years ago,
but action was delayed on account Of
the conflicting homestead party being
in the United States military service
in the Philippine islands, Lieutenant
Fred Smith being the party. Service
was had on him after his return and
the hearing was had at Lakota on
April 81, Geo. Bangs and w. c..
Fairbanks ap%pearingfor Lieut.. Smith,
George D. Kelly, of Frick & Kelly,
for the townsite occupants, and Spec
ial Agent Lounsberry appearing for the
United, State. (,
Colonel Lounsberry succeeded in
1econcilliating all of the faction and
the testimony consisted entirely of
s%tipulations to the facts. Smith will
probably receive patent to three for
ties of the homestead and the townstte
one forty. In TOWNSHIP cases such as
Bartlett and Buford the occupants Sc
cure their lots upon payment of their
proportion Of the cost, including the
cost Of litigation and surveying and
t1.25 per aero for. the land, and the
%uinoccupied lots are sold at auction
and whatever surplus there may be
soes to the school fund. of the district
where the TOWNSHIP is situated. =

a PUPPY,s RAPID GROWTH.
Dough AID BscoAes . BloateA @
MonntHosity.

4 few months ago q young man
who 10 employed in one Of the rail-
road Offices of this city bought q very
small pointer pup. The dog grew
steadily, but mainly in the head and
legs; having no body to speak Of,
relates the Portland Oregonian. The
lady Of the household, like many
newly married women was making q
thorough test of her husbands d.
gestiys powers by baking bread for
the family. The pointer pup was now
taking on the appearance of = genu-
inc dog. and put in most of his time
looking for .something to cot. He
found Just what he was looking for.
1drs. Newly-Wed had placed . pan
containing three loaves in the state
Of dough under the kitchen stove
and had gone upstairs for q few min
utes. Like many new bread-makers,
she was generous in the use of yeast,
and her bread raj usually lighter
than = sponge. When she returned
! thesdough hadsbeen Transferred from
+ the pan. to the, interior of the point
er, who was already showing stgns
OF distress. The yeast was getting
in it's deadly work. and gradually
> the dogs bodys began to swell. The
J head, which had formerly been the
| most prominent feature OF his make
/ up, was quite collapsed beside the
! bursting bo5y. The legs looked like
! toothpicks supporting q beer key.
/, The poor pointer was now writing
in agony, and after several neighbors
had proposed various strenuous
measures, an application of sAleratus
1 water brought relief.

ahi1ity is that similar operations were

facturers.
Another form Of monopolies, known
as trade guilds, has existed from very

The following was written for OPP
portunity by, United States Senator
Hanebrou,yh of North Dakota, faith
Of tho irrigation law:
Irrigation will play great Part in
settling the west, and will bring
much of tho waste lands andsall of it's
waste water into use.
Under the national irrigation law,
enacted just: q year ago, believe that
fully go, 600, 900 acres, or about ten per
cent of the present public domain
area. will be reclaimed; but it will
require at least forty years time in.
which to do it. This means homes
for about two millions Of people on the
farms, and half as many more in the
cities, villages and hamlets. During
the same time private enterprise will
reclaim 40, 600, 600 acres, which would
afford homes an employment for an
additional two millions of people; or
100, 600, 900 acres Of reclamation and
ave millions Of population in some
thingsless than half a century.
It is difficult to estimate the value
Of this new real property, with ita
personafity, but it cannot be an exag.
geration to say that it would amount
to at least. q, 600, 900, 900. The work
thus far under the new law has been
wholly Of a preliminary nature. II
is expected: that the secretary Of the

An interesting experiment. the ides
OF . military, officer! has been. tried,
at Aldershot, by which it is hoped to-
render artillery inconspicuous against!
all kinds of backgrounds. A bait
terry of six guns with their linn
bers was painted rainbow fashion,
with streaks of red, blue and yellow,
the whole blending at . little dis
lance into 9 confused mass that rem
dered each gun difficult to locate,
whatever its surroundings might be.
At 800 yards the outline Of the gun
is; lost, while at 1000 it hsrmonizes
with trees. open grass land. sandy,
plains or broken country: aSS'
As q trial the gums were placed In
position m the eastern slopes Of tho
hills and tho artillery officers at Al
dershot we're invited to try and To-
cate them from the western slopes
at Q. distance of about 5000 yards.
Although all knew the direction in
which the guns were, none succeeded
in finding them all, even. with strong
glasses. A section of. horse artillery
guns were sent forward to engage
them 90 soon a. they could discern
them. and they actually advanced to
within 1000 yards before they were
espied.
At close quarters the guns present

decidedly practical one. nevertheless.
