Aztec Extension Ditch No,
: Will Feed the
Reservoir.

A meeting was called last NJ onday
evening for the purpose Of discussing
ths proposed building Of Aztec Fitch
Extension No. 2, rhe meeting was
prelimin1rily organized with NJ. B
Scot, as chaitmau and @. S. Bailey as
secretary. Mr.. G. T, Holly, who had
just made a survey OF preliminary Iiue,
made his report, He said they sur
veyed the proposed line distance of II
miles, aud be didn't think that it would
be practicable at this time to extend the
ditch any further as the cost Of con
structing would be too great. The
ditch as now surveyed, including Aztec
Extension No, l, will be about Is miles
long, and will coysr'3,OOO acres Of good
tiliabeiand at probable cost OF $50,
OOO, or $40 per acre. The ditch will
have carrying capacity of Al cubic
feet per second Of Iime, necessitating a
ditch 9 feet wide and 8 feet deep,
Judge Pendieton, "Su' Baker aod
@. Cameron were appointed as a
committee to audit The accounts Of Sur
vcyor Holly, aud formulate a plan for
organizing company, to report at The
next meeting.
This ditch is an assured fact, as il is
being promoted by people who have land
taken up under the same, and VINO are
willing 10 pay the probable cost Of $40
per acre for water
Here is a chance for the citizens Of
Auec to show their progressive spirit
by calling a meeting for the purpose Of
arranging for the building Of reservoir

Some of the Humors of the Colony
 of Notables.
 Mr. Lindsay Swift, whose work on Brook Farm is really one of the most thorough monographs ever written in the country, reports q legend that one of the younger members or pupils confessed his passion while helping his sweet heart to wash dishes; and Emer- son is the authority for stating that as the men danced in the evening, clothespins sometimes dropped from theirpockets. Flaw thorne wrote to his sister, not without sarcasm: The whole fra ternity eat together and such q delectable way of life has never been seen on earth since the days of the early Christians. We get up at half-past six. dine at half past twelve and go to bed at nine" An element of moral protest also entered into the actual work of the more serious members, writes Thomas Wentworth Higginson, in Atlantic. Thus Mr. Ripley said to Theodore Parker, of John Dwight, afterwards eminent as a musical critic: "There is your ac- cOmplished friend; he would hoe corn all Sunday if would let him, but all Massachusetts could not make him do it on Monday.o Ru- nor adds that Parker replied: Ut is good to know that he wants to hoe corn any day of the week. :" The question is not how far these details were based on fact or were the fruit of fancy, but the immedi- ate point is that they materially aided in keeping up the spirits of the unbelieying world outside.

The Joplin Globe poet, having read that Missouri beats the world in the production oi corn, took his horn in hand and blew these few blasts Tn celebration ot the fact:
 When you think about Missouri and are wont to toot her horn, please to give pass ing mention to her golden yield of corn, Inugh she sets the pace industrial T m ap- serenely al the head, 1t Is only very recently she's come into her own as the state where in the biggest crop of yellow corn Is grown. The bureau of statistics agricultural relates that Missouri now has distaneed all her sis terhood of states in the number of acres dedicated unto corn and the number of bushels from each fruitful acre born. The tatistics draw comparisons, which show upon their face that Mis- Prohibition Kan sas Is assigned to second place, and ambitious Oklahoma, of whom dealis heard the facts and icy figures stick in corner labeled third. So hereafter, when you feel inclined to toot the old states horn, dont forget to blow q blast or two in honor of her corn.

MUIR GLACIER NOT ON VIEW.
Four Years Since Steamers Have
 Able to Reach IT.


 Tourists in Alaska have been greatly disappointed in the past four seasons at the inability of ex cursion steamers to approach the front of the Muir glacier, says the New York Sun.
 Up to the summer of 1900, eX cursion boats from SiG,a lad rec uIarly steamed along the very front of this test-knoWn and most interesting of American glaciers, and it was q treat to view at short range the mighty ice wall four 9iles across.
 In the summer of 1900, however, the ice-choked channel of Muir in. let prevented steamers from ap. preaching nearer than ten miles, and i'll the three summers since then tIieY have been stopped by ice at distances of from five to ten miles.
 \ short time after the last ex- cHrsion party of 1899 visited Muir glacier, a series of severe earth quakes occurred in thatregion. II is supposed that the imPassable condition of Muir inlet. since those September earthquakes, is due to the shaking the glacier received.
 In May last. Messrs. Andrews and Case, of Skagway, forced their way with great difficulty to the face of the glacier. where they made an interesting discovery, no indication of which could be observed at the distance from which the glacier has been viewed for several years.
 It has long been known that Muir glacier is receding ice river. It's front is breaking of or melting faster than the ice is formed. and the=rate of recession since John Muir rediscovered the glacier in 1879, was about q mile in seven years.
 But the glacial front in the last four years has retired two miles and a half, a far higher rate ofret- rogression than has been observed before. The present indications are that before long Muir glacier will cease to reach tide water.
