DUTY OF WATER.
A Chapter on Irrigation BY an Ex-
pert.

pert.
Professor Samuel Fortier, direc-
tor of the Montana experiment sta
ton at Bozeman, is publishing
series of farmers bulletins on irriga-
ton topics, of which the following
on the DUTY of Water" is an ex-
cerpt:
The word duty is used in varie-
ty of ways. In irrigation it shows the
amount of water used and the area
of land on which it is applied. This
relation may be expressed in several
ways. The units most frequently
used are a miners inch Of water
and an acre of land. The duty of
water may be high or low, depend
ing on the quantity used on given
area. In southern California, where
water is costly, one miners inch irri-
gates, on an average, five acres of
land. This is considered high
duty, and is rendered, possibly, by
preventing waste and in skillful use
In certain sections of Montana and
the Rocky mountain states, the duty
OF water is frequently required for
new land with a dry subsoil. When
however, this amount of water is
used on the same fields for Is or 20
seasans in succession, it shows that
large percentage is wasted.
The duty in water may be ex-
pressed in the cubic feet per second
and acres. In 1890 the legislative
assembly of Wyoming fixed the max
imum amount of water that could be
legally applied in irrigation in that
state by providing that no allot-
ment shall exceed one cubic foot per
second for each 70 acres of land"
From 1890 to 1900 the duty of water
under the Bear river canal system,
in northern Utah was one cubic foot
per second for each 80 acre tract.
This duty corresponds to one Min
er's inch for two acres.
In the opinion of the writer there
is a better way to express the duty
of water than by either the miners
inch or by the cubic foot per second.
By both of these methods one is left
in doubt as to the volume actually
applied. In both the flow of the irri-
cation stream is assumed to be con-
tinuous, and the amount of water
used will depend quite as much on
the length of the irrigation season
as on the size of the stream. Fifty
miners inches flowing for 80 days is
equivalent in volume to 100 miners
inches flowing for 40 days. 1t is thus
obvious that the length of the irriga-
ton season must be fixed before the
duty can be ascertained. 1t seldom
happens that water is used for the
same number of days in any two
counties, or even precincts; hence
the difficulty in ascertaining the duty
when it is expressed in acres, per
miners inch or cubic foot. The bet

FOREST OF DOOM"
Survivor tells Of Inflated American
Colony in the Southern Seas.

Colony in the Southern Seas.
Alameda, Cal, June 11.-There is
no "Adamless Eden" in the South
seas, but there is mosquito ridden
island there, and John Olson of this
city declares they discount the Jer-
sey brand 100 to 1.
Olson has just returned from ex-
tensive travels with the first authen-
tic account of the sufferings of the
party of adventures who left this
port on the schooner Percy Edwards
some years ago with the expecta-
tons of fortune which were dismally
shattered.
At the time wide publicity was
given the colonization scheme, IS
colonists, including some from Oak
land and Alameda, starting out to
find a wonderful island described as
overrun with South Sea maidens, and
where there We're no men.
Fragmentary news was received
later Of the disruption of the expe-
d;tion, but Olson is the first of the
voyagers to return with particulars
of the Forest of DOOM" where the
remnant of the settlers finally lodged
Olson says that some of the party
deserted at the island of Lavoca, in
the Fiji group, to work a German
plantation on shares, and about 20
others were led into a plantation
scheme on Suva, where the British
governor general gave a grant of
land for a banana plantation, with
the stipulation that the fruit raised
was to be sold there for 10 cents a
bunch.
While attempting to sail to New
Zealand, the vessel was disabled in
storm and the rest of the party put
into New Caledonia, where the
schooner was sold. 1t was on this
island that Olson and twenty com
panions found the climax of their
misfortunes.
THE governor of New Caledonia
gave us an audience after We had
seen the American consul" said o.
son, land after we had stated oul
object he agreed to give us grant OF
land comprising 600 hectors, or about
1900 acres, to establish our colony
| in the northern part of thei sland
We were taken with our supplies or
a steamer to the mouth of river
and supplied with two government
scows, kanakas and horses to tow us
up about so miles.
when We reached the place We
found the banks of the stream sc
heavily wooded that We had to GU
our way through the lands, the Fora
dumas. but we came to know it as

Olson says, was dumped into {
swampy country, swarming with mos

came all their crops were swept
away. They had elected an Ameri-
can mining man as president of the
colony, who had dream which the
distract colonists took as an omen.
He related that in his dream an
unseen power was directing him to
communicate with the governor of
New Caledonia, asking him to change
the colony to some other part of
the island, where there were no mos
quiOs."

IMPORTS TO MANILA ss,27s,es2.
October of 1902 Shows Largest Trade
Since the OCCUPATION.

Washington, d. c.. Feb. 2.-Oficial
returns of Philippine commerce for
bureau of insular affairs of the wa.
department, show the values of mer-
chandise imported to have been con-
siderably larger than in any single
month since American occupation, ag-
gregating s3,279.692. Two-fifths Of this
amount is credited to the purchase of
food articles and is due to crop fail
urcs in the archipelago. The exports
for October, 1902, We're valued at ST.
S47,577, somewhat above the monthly
average, based on shipments during
the ten months of the last calendar
year, and an increase over the same
month in 1901. For ten months ended
Oct. 81, 1902, the imports, exclusive
of gold and silver and government sup
plies. were valued at $27,61S,014, a ma
terial gain over the same period in
each OF the two preceding years. The
imports coming from the United States
have doubled since 1899. The total
value of exports for the ten months
ended Oct. 81. 1902. was s22,os6,595, an
increase Of nearly $S,000,000 over the
trade for the same period of 1900.

TO IMPROVE RAILWAY.
Half Million Dollars to Be Spent in
pes Moines.

Des Moines, Feb. 2.-The Des Molnes
CITY Railway Company has decided 70
make expenditures upon betterment and
extensions of its plant during 1908 tina :
will cost about 100000. Preliminary
plans for the work will be COM
menced within the next two weeks.
The plans include the erection of az :
other addition to its power plant, which
will increase the operating capacity by
one-haf, new car building shops. a
large number OF new double truck cars,
new car barns, ten miles of new track
within the city limits, an immense au-
ditorium at Ingersoll Park and big
pavilion station at the state fair
grounds. The money to be expended
will be sufficient to put the car system
in condition to handle the rapidly in
creasing business and to anticipate the
growth of the city for several years to
come. The additions to the car service
will be such as to do away with all sim
gle car trucks and give Des Moines the
first double truck street car service en-
ioyed by any city in the United States.

Little Hope of a Satisfactory
Agreement of Miners and
Operators
CONCESSIONS ARE NECESSARY
Unless the Miners Make Some Reduc.
ton in Their Demands a Strike is
Almost Sure to FoIIow-Grantins of
Demands Would increase Cost of
Coal so Cents a Ton.

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. Every little
hope of a satisfactory agreement is
based upon the meeting or the scale
committee of the miners and operators
today to resume consideration of the
demands of the miners for an increase
of wages. Expressions of opinion heard
today indicate that the sessions will be
protracted. and that if the miners in
sist on the demands already made there
will be no agreement reached, which
will mean a suspension of work on
April /.
Both sides seem determined and the
operators say they will never yield to
say, however, that the miners should
have some increase this year and many
believe that an increase of 10 per cent
would be right.
w. S. Boyle, head of the Indiana
operators, said tonight, that whatever
increase the miners got, il they got any,
would have to be borne by the con-
sumer. He said that the only cost OF
coal is the labor it takes to produce 1t.
"Over 80 per cent of the cost OF coai
is labor he said. The statement that
/ made in the conference yesterday, that
If we granted the proposition of the
miners just as they made it, demand

basis, the fiat differential of cents per
ton and an increase CT 30 per cent for
inside laborers and an increase In pro-
portion to the advance of the mining
rate. it would add CO cents per ton to
the cost to the consumer, is absolutely
true.

cent per ton increase fiat on a run mine
basis amounts to II cents on screen
basis. Then there is the dead work.
including room turning and yardage,
for which an advance of the 80 per cent
is asked, and the increase In proportion
to the advance of the miners for the
outside laborers. which is 20 per cent,
makes a total increase for the laborers
OF is cents per ton. Then the increase
demanded for machine mining of dit
ferential of cents is IL cent advance
on machine mined coal. But suppose
that not over half The coal mined is
machine mined, it will still be an adj
vance Of 61s cents. Then the increased
degradation of the coal by mining on a
mine run basis will make an additional
cost of lump-screenei coal of fromll5
to 20 cents per ton-on an average, we
will say, 171s cents.
There you have q cents for the min

Krotz is the plaintiff and Agnes Barker
Herrold, the defendant, gets another in
ming in the district clerks office this
morning, when an amended petition Is
filed asking for $4,000 instead of $4,000
as was the original petition.
The amendment goes into the his
tory of the alleged crime and sland-
derous statements made afterward in
detail, and names over a dozen Or
more persons to whom the defendant
is alleged to have stated that the plain

Mrs Krotz and put his eyes out
The plaintiff states that during. the
month of June she and her then hus-
band. Aug. Sanholm. were walking
along the street and that some I'M
known person threw vitriol at her hus-
band, part of which struck her and
burned her clothes. It also states that
her husband was frightfully burned.
and that one of his eyes was destroyed
by the acid.
Mrs. Krotz states that in November.
1899, she was divorced from Sandholm
and later married Krotz and after her
second marriage the defendant in the
case stated before several people while
she was in their presence that the
plaintiff threw vitriol in the eyes of her
husband and destroyed his eyesight.
Plaintiff claims that this was repeated
at divers and sundry times, and she
thinks that she should have $4,000 for
the alleged misstatements.
The case will be remembered to
have happened near the Slate House.
Sandholm and his wife were walking
by late at night. when some person
threw the contents of a bottle OF vit-
riol at the eyes of the husband. II was
claimed at the time that it was done
by jealous lover, but this has never
been proved.
Then the statements were alleged to
have been made and the suit followed.
